Add functionality to Quick View

This should be an easy one, but I'm obviously missing something...
I work with software that has a bunch of files that have the extension "properties". They are plain text files. How do I get them to 'open' when I use quick view and show me their contents? I assume I somehow need to bind the extension to something, but I can't figure out how to do that.

Do you mean the "Quick Look" feature of Leopard? If so, you need a Quick Look generator plugin (extension type: "qlgenerator") to tell Leopard how to display the contents of the application's documents.
Some applications come with & install these things automatically at the time of installation or first run. Others are available online from various sources, for example http://www.qlplugins.com/ or from Apple Downloads (tip: try http://www.apple.com/search/downloads/?q=QuickLookGenerator to quickly list them).
If that doesn't do it, & you are willing to edit the content of an existing generator or create your own, try browsing through Introduction to Quick Look Programming Guide for all the info you will need to know about this. It isn't as complex as it may seem at first, especially if you just want to add a document type to an existing QL generator.

Numbers don't show german umlaut but quick view does

I do have a problem opening CSV files in Numbers.
I have a shared folder with VirtualBox. The virtual HD is formatted in FAT32. With Windows I created a CSV file which contains german umlauts like ÄÖÜ.
When I open the CSV with the "quick view" (press space when file is selected in finder, the CSV is displayed as a nice Table and all Umlauts are OK.
When I double click the CSV file to open it in Numbers, the Umlauts are not displayed. Opening in Text Edit is the same result, no Umlauts.
ö = ^
ß = fl
ü = ¸
ä = ‰
I think this is an encoding problem, but why is "quick view" displaying it correct. I'm confused.
Thanks for any help.

Hello
I cannot find any encoding settings for opening files in Numbers 09.
A simple and obvious solution would be to save CSV file in UTF-8 in FAT32 volume in VirtualBox if possible.
One other method is to copy the CSV file to HFS+ volume and set its extended attributes to specify its text encoding. This method is only changing the metadata of the file and so is less intrusive than to convert the data itself to different text encoding. When text encoding extended attribute is properly set, Numbers 09 (and TextEdit.app set to use "Automatic" encoding option in opening files) will open it in the specified text encoding.
The following AppleScript script might help to set the extended attributes (OSX 10.5 or later only). Recipe is as follows.
A1) Open /Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor.app, copy the code of set_latin1_xattr.applescript listed below and save it as application (bundle) in the folder where target CSV files reside.
A2) Double click the saved applet and it will set the com.apple.TextEncoding extended attribute of the *.csv and *.txt files in the same folder where the applet resides to Latin 1 when they are recognised as 'ISO-8859 text' by file(1) command.
-- set_latin1_xattr.applescript
_main()
on _main()
    set p2m to (path to me)'s POSIX path
    if p2m ends with "/" then set p2m to p2m's text 1 thru -2
    set sh to "
# set current directory to parent directory of script (or die)
cd \"${0%/*}\" || exit 1
# add com.apple.TextEnncoding xattr for Latin-1
# for *.csv and *.txt files, of which file info contains 'ISO-8859 text', in current directory
for f in *.{csv,txt}
do
    if [[ $(file \"$f\") =~ 'ISO-8859 text' ]]
    then
        xattr -w com.apple.TextEncoding \"WINDOWS-1252;$((0x0500))\" \"$f\"
    fi
done
    do shell script "/bin/bash -c " & sh's quoted form & " " & p2m's quoted form
end _main
Another method is to convert the text encoding itself as you have already done using TextEdit.app.
The following AppleScript might help to convert text encoding from latin-1 to utf-8 in bulk. Recipe is basically the same as the above.
B1) Open /Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor.app, copy the code of convert_latin1_to_utf8.applescript listed below and save it as application (bundle) in the folder where target CSV files reside.
B2) Double click the saved applet and it will convert the text encoding of the *.csv and *.txt files in the same folder where the applet resides to UTF-8 when they are recognised as 'ISO-8859 text' by file(1) command. Also it sets the extended attribute for text encoding accordingly.
-- convert_latin1_to_utf8.applescript
_main()
on _main()
    set p2m to (path to me)'s POSIX path
    if p2m ends with "/" then set p2m to p2m's text 1 thru -2
    set sh to "
# set current directory to parent directory of script (or die)
cd \"${0%/*}\" || exit 1
# make temporary directory
temp=$(mktemp -d /tmp/\"${0##*/}\".XXXXXX) || exit 1
# convert text encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8
# for *.csv and *.txt files, of which file info contains 'ISO-8859 text', in current directory
for f in *.{csv,txt}
do
    if [[ $(file \"$f\") =~ 'ISO-8859 text' ]]
    then
        iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 \"$f\" > \"$temp/$f\" \\
        && xattr -w com.apple.TextEncoding \"UTF-8;$((0x08000100))\" \"$temp/$f\" \\
        && mv -f \"$temp/$f\" \"$f\"
    fi
done
# clean up temporary directory
rm -rf \"$temp\"
    do shell script "/bin/bash -c " & sh's quoted form & " " & p2m's quoted form
end _main
Note that the extended attribute is not supported in FAT32 and so the above methods only work in HFS+ formatted volume.
Scripts are briefly tested with Numbers 2.0.5 under OSX 10.5.8 and 10.6.5. Please make sure you have backup CSV files before applying the above scripts.
Good luck,
H

.xlsx files not opening in Quick View on iPad

I am having trouble viewing some .xlsx files in Quick View on an iPad 3. When I attempt to open them, Quick View loads, but I only get a gray screen that displays the file name, file size, and "Open Office XML spreadsheet." I have tried multiple .xlsx files on multiple iPads, and the only ones I can get to open are blank .xlsx spreadsheets I create just for testing. If I add anything to them at all, say a number in a single cell, they no longer open in Quick View. The same files can be saved as .xls files and they open in Quick View, however, asking everyone to save their files in this format is not an acceptable solution for me. The files are being created in Excel in Office 2010.
I am not interested in editing these files on my iPad in any way, I just want to open them in Quick View. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

From the post above, I came to understand that there is a difference between Photoshop Elements 11 and PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe. I mistakenly chose a shortcut - not an Application file.
When in "Open with" -> Choose default program.. -> Browse... ---->
Browse... - on my computer put me in C:/Program Files.
This is not where to look.
Unknownst to me at the time one must back out of this and go to C:/Program Files (x86) -> Adobe -> Photoshop Elements 11 -> PhotoshopElementsEditor
DON'T make the mistake I made by choosing "Adobe Photoshop Elements 11" - which is a shortcut.
Below this is "PhotoshopElementsEditor" which is an Application file - which is the one to choose.
I ended getting rid of the inoperable "Adobe Photoshop Elements 11" in the "Open with..." menu by following the instructions in this link:
http://oakroadsystems.com/tech/7tip.htm#FileBloatedOpenWith
and all seems to operate as required.
I hope that this may be helpful to others.

Quick view of in incoming eMails in Mac OS X (Lion)

Hello!
At work I use Microsoft Windows XP with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Server. When I get a new eMail a box with a quick view of the eMail pops up for a few seconds in the bottom right corner of my screen. This is very comfortable because you can see directly the originator and the first lines of the eMail without going to Outlook.
When I get a new eMail in Mac OS X I have to go to the Mail application in order to see the content of the new eMail.
Is there also a function in Mac OS X (Lion) to have a quick look of new eMails without going to Mail application?

QUICK VIEWER RELATED QUESTION

Hi
Can I add a new column to my quick viewer report that will display TOTAL of existing columns in the report. What is the method?
How can I make my quick viewer report to open a document when I double click a field value. I see it happening in VF05 , va05 (lists).
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Surya

Okay, Ceci, I don't know as much about this stuff as
you obviously do, so I'm really sorry I offended you
with my newbie faux pas. Do you realize that in the
time it took you to rip on me you could have already
answered the question? Thanks for the sentiment.I answered it the best I could: write a small program and try it.
With MSAccess, my understanding is that if you have a string with length under
255 it's type is TEXT, and over 255 it's MEMO... is this right?String: max. 255 chars
Memo: max 64000 chars.
Sez the Access help.
But what does this string look like if the column will hold strings of text longer
than 255? Try it. Might puke, might truncate the String, might autoconvert. I don't know. You'll see.
Do I only specify the size like TEXT(400), or do I list the type like MEMO(400) or what?If you expect it to be > 255 chars, why not simply define the field as Memo right away? I doubt you can write a Memo to a textfield.

SQVI - Quick view modification

Dear Mr Brad Bohn,
Thank you very much for your response.
Here issue is:
Our functional team members create the quick view by joining tables and now problem is one of the user resigned.
And new functional team member wants to check/modify the quick view in his new user ID.
So is it possible to get those quick views created by first user?

In quick view mode, why can't I enlarge pdf files like it used to?

When I use quick view mode by pressing space bar when I have selected a file, say pdf files, I could used to stretch the corners to get the page larger. But now, in Lion, it doesn't behave like that anymore. The page stays the same size however wide I stretch the quick view window. Is there an option to fixing this? Or is this intended? It is very bad indeed!

Cannot quick view 60fps video file

After upgrading to Yosemite, I realize when I use quick view (space bar) to watch some of my video files in 60fps, it's showing it 30fps instead. When I play the files using quicktime or quick view with full screen, then the video will play in 60fps. I am not very comfortable with this new setting, because I do video editing and I need to look at many video files by using quick view function, and with only showing 30fps just very annoying for me. Any solution?

Selection Criteria for Quick View

Hello all,
does anybody have an idea how to add an additional filed to selection in Quick View?
I need to add Purchasing group. Thanks for any ideas.
Regards,
Igor

Thanks Juraj,
I forgot to say we are on SCMSNC 7.01 and we have Purch Org available in our system. It was a custom development in 5.1, now SAP has added it as default to PO worklist/Duelist, and some other screens as extended selection criteria.
We would like to have it on QuickView selection and it looks like that it has to be custom development anyway. We had some discussion w/SAP, they might add this to future releases.

Quick view in sqvi

Dear gurus,
i have created one quick view for scheduling agreement where in all pending delivery schedules for a perticuler period will appear . but i am not getting the table for OBMNG ( open quantity ).
if this is the result of deduction from scheduled qty to GR qty. & is set in the programme.
then how to take it in the quick view
inamdar

Inamdar,
I don't believe this functionality is available in SQVI. For this, you would have to create a regular (not quickview) query in SQ01. Regular queries support the creation of local fields, which can be calculations. See online help at
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/d2/cb4186455611d189710000e8322d00/frameset.htm

SQVI is used to convert a Quick View into a query.
Quick Viewer:
The Quick Viewer allows you to define reports without having to program yourself. The Quick
Viewer is especially useful for new users and occasional use.
Quick Viewer is a tool for generating reports. SAP Query offers the user a whole range of options for defining reports. SAP Query also supports different kinds of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists. Quick Viewer, on the other hand, is a tool that allows even relatively inexperienced users to create basic lists.
Quick View definitions are user-dependent. You can transfer a Quick View into SAP Query in order to make reports, for example, accessible to additional users, or to use the other functions available in SAP Query.
The following is a comparison of Quick Views and queries:
Quick Views possess the same functional attributes as queries. However, only basic lists may be defined with Quick Views.
In contrast to queries, no user group assignment is necessary with Quick Views. Each user has his/her own personal list of Quick Views. Quick Views cannot be exchanged between users. Quick Views may, however, be converted to queries and then be made available to other users in a specific user group.
Info Sets are not required for Quick View definition. Whenever you define a Quick View, you can specify its data source explicitly. Tables, database views, table joins, logical databases, and even Info Sets, can all serve as data sources for a Quick View. You can only use additional tables and additional fields if you use an Info Set as a data source.
The Quick Viewer uses various controls. Certain hardware and software requirements must also be fulfilled before you can use the Quick Viewer.
To define a Quick View, you select certain fields according to your data source that determine the structure of your report. The report can be executed in basis mode with standard layout or may be edited using drag and drop and the other toolbox functions available in WYSIWYG mode.
Reports created using the Quick Viewer may also be passed to external programs (Excel, for example).
Call the Quick Viewer using System -> Services -> Quick Viewer (or transaction SQVI).
Enter the name of the Quick View. Quick View names can contain a maximum of 14 characters.
Choose Create.
Enter a title for the Quick View and remarks, if you think they are relevant.
If you do not want to base your list on a table, use the possible entries pushbutton in the Data source field to select another data source. You can choose logical databases or Info Sets. In addition, you may also create table joins. For further information, see Selecting a Data Source.
Choose Basis mode if you want to create the list directly with no list design. Choose Layout mode if you want to define the layout of your list yourself.
SQVI Table Quick viewer Used to created quick client dependent reports
Probably the easiest and most flexible way to do this is thru one of the ABAP query transactions.
Transaction SQVI can do this and it has a very good help function that explains how it works... the drawback is that it is only for one user.
You can play around with it and see if it meets your needs...
The query results will come back in an ALV Grid or Excel... you can select what fields are returned, and have a selection screen to enter the search criteria.
To allow any user to run a query, then you can create an Infoset with transaction SQ02 (you define what fields the user will get in their results, and what fields will appear on the selection screen), then create a multi user query using transaction SQ01 and the infoset you created in SQ02. One of the basis people can then create a transaction from your sq01 query, and that transaction can then be moved into production.
SQVI and SQ02/SQ01 are far more powerful than SE16 as they allow you to do table joins. SQ02 also allows you to create computed fields.

Quick Viewer - SQVI

Hi,
We have developed a query using quick viewer.
A program is generated internally, when we save the Query.
Can we transport the program from development system to quality and then to production..?
Please respond as early as possible.
Awaiting your replies.
Thanks
Praisty

Hi,
You write the query and generate the program in the client where you need this, then in golden client create a transaction code for this program, add the program name and include that in a request and transport till production.
If you need it for QA and development also you need to create the query there locally.
Regards,
SAPFICO

Quick Viewer share to all users

Hi,
I have 2 questions on Quick Viewer.
1. How can I access other people developed query? I cant access even though it has been developed by some other person.
2. How can I share the access with others if the query is not intended to access public?
>> From quick viewer as starting point ...
Thanks.
Marks will be rewarded.

@1:    - go to transaction SQ02 -> Settings: tick the checkbox DISPLAY SYSTEM OBJECTS
         - then go back to SQ01, now you have in the STANDARD AREA user groups with the quickviews of
            each user
@2:    use in SQVI the menu quickview -> additioal functions-> generate programm and display program name and make a transaktion out of the generated program
