Annoying behavior - PSE6 sets itself as default for edited files

Greetings. I'm running PSE6 on a Mac. When I edit a file, PSE sets itself as the default program for that file. For example, if I edit and save a jpg, the next time I double-click on that jpg it will open in PSE instead of my default graphics viewer. That's annoying and time-consuming. Is there any way I can configure PSE to stop doing that? Thanks!

Please excuse me, that didn't come out the way I meant it. I wanted to say that:
1) I double-click a jpg and it opens with Xee (or whatever).
2) I edit the file in PSE and do "Save as".
3) When I double-click on the new jpg, it opens with PSE. Other jpgs continue to open in Xee.
So I can't see what Finder has to do with it. When PSE saved the file, it made itself the default program for that file, irrespective of the default program for that type of file.

? How do you change default for .pdf files from Reader 6 to reader 9

I cannot change the default for .pdf files from reader 6 to reader 9. Also I cannot remove reader 6. I am running Vista

Normally, completely removing old versions and reinstalling the latest version will reassociate all applicable extensions for the program, but it appears to have failed in your case. There may be something else going on with your machine that is producing this behavior. You probably need to investigate that. But what you can do to make sure the defaults are correct is click on the start orb and select 'Default Programs.' Then select 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program.' From the list of file types, select each of the following in turn: acrobatsecuritysettings, fdf, pdf, pdfxml, pdx, xdp, and xfdf. If its default program is not Adobe Reader, click on the Change Program button and select Acrobat Reader from the list (you may need to expand the lower section to display more programs than it initially provides). If Adobe Reader does not show up in the list, you will have to browse for it. It should be located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe.
This method is safer than manually editing the Root\Classes in the registry.

Making Adobe 7.0.5 the default for .pdf files

I was advised that the way to get Adobe 7.0.5 to be the default, instead of 5.0, was to delete the Adobe applications & files in my system, library, and user folders, including the 7.0.5 app. itself. Then, after everything relating to Adobe is gone, I should re-install 7.0.5 and it would become the default.
I also heard that Spotlight won't find every Adobe component or extention, so I'd have to do a detailed search and delete each one that way.
Does this sound right?
Can't I just delete the 5.0 folder in the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder and have everthing associated with 5.0 gone? Isn't that the beauty of having a Mac?
Thanks,

Hi Greg
You were poorly advised. Deleting Adobe apps is a headache and completely irrelevant when it comes to making an app the default for a file type.
Control-click a .pdf file, choose Get Info. In the Info window click the Open With drop down list, choose the app you want, and then click Change All underneath it.
That should do it. You might find that there is more than one type of .pdf file and you might need to perform this action again at some time, but this should do the job.
And yes, you can just delete the Acrobat Reader 5.0 folder.

I am facing problem regarding graphical user interface. I am using text box for editing files. I want to show the line numbers and graphical breakpoints along with text box. Can anybody help me in this? Thanks.

Thanks for you reply.
But actually I don't want to show the \ (backslashes) to the user in my text box.
Ok let me elaborate this problem little more.
I want to show my text box as it is in normal editors e.g. In Matlab editor. There is a text box and on left side the gray bar shows the line numbers corresponding to the text. Further more i want that the user should be able to click on any line number to mark specific line as breakpoint (red circle or any graphical indication for mark).

After install, Firefox sets itself as default to open all kinds of files. How do I prevent this. I don't want it as default for anything except browser.

For example, after install of most recent version 32.0.1 Firefox logo was attached to all my pdf files. I only want to firefox as a browser, not to open videos, pics or pdf's. I went to default program option in start menu but there are so many file types I don't know what should be opening. I simply deleted firefox and everything went back to normal.

Note that this would possibly only happen when Firefox is set as the default browser and only should happen if there isn't another application set to handle these file type.
Firefox inspects some registry keys to check that and if a program is registered via other registry keys then Firefox may think that there isn't a program to handle these content types.
You can use the registry editor to check some keys.
*Registry Editor:<br>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.pdf\<br>HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf
Remove the FirefoxHTML value of the Default key and leave an empty value of that key.
That should allow you to set another application as the default to handle PDF files via the open with dialog.

How to set database name default for oracle discoverer 10g

          Database

Setting Sound preference defaults for managed accounts

Hi, I just added a bluetooth speaker to my MAc Mini, and I had no problem setting it as default speaker for my administrator account. However the setting is not automaticatically transferred to the managed accounts, and them beeing managed can not acces the preferences. Is there a simple way of doing this, or should I go to the trouble of setting each account as administrator, log as the other user, change the preference and then change it back as managed account?

Rebooting again resolved the problem. Though I rebooted differently than I generally reboot. I left the audio interface powered-up during boot. Generally, I only power-up the interface (USB2) when needing audio. It's never been a problem. I hope that wasn't the solution to this problem.

You will need to make a custom template with your own settings.
The default text style is Body so set that the way you like it in the template.
If you need help with templates and styles look here:

You can set your custom template to open by default in your preferences.

Having difficulty setting MplayerX as default for ALL .avi/.mp4/etc files.

When I open a file with "Open With" option, selecting "Other", then selecting MplayerX and at the bottom clicking "Always Open With" - it works great for that one file. The rest automatically open with Quicktime. How do I make my MplayerX my default for all the video files?
Thanks!

Try clicking the change all button.

How to make PS CC -- not CC2014 -- the default for 'Edit in' in Lr?

When I installed Ps CC2014 I had problems with it, and so uninstalled it. I might reinstall it in order to get familiar with it. But until certain panels have been converted to work in CC2014, CC will remain my 'go to' pixel editor. With that in mind, I would want Ps CC to remain the default version of Ps when I select 'Edit in' in Lr 5.5. However during the brief time I had CC 2014 installed, CC2014 replaced CC (which was still installed on my computer) as the version that Lr passed images to when I selected 'Edit in'. Is there some way that Lr can be 'made' to think CC is the version it should pass files to even if CC2014 is also installed on my computer?
Thanks for your help.
Best,
David

Quote:
If CC and CC 2014 are both installed on your computer. CC 2014 will be the default edit-in app, this is as design. You can add CC as additional External Editor, but cannot set it as default one. If you want to make CC as the default one, you need to uninstall CC 2014.
That's what I was afraid of, hence I have removed CC2014 from my computer. There are a couple of panels I use which won't work in CC2014, hence I would continue to use CC in any event. But if both are installed and CC2014 is the default, then to use CC as an external editor, I would have to render the image, who I not?

Make DW default for XML files?

I'm sure there's a way to do this that I'm missing, but I'd like to make DW my default app for XML files. I know how this can be done on Windows (using "open with" and changing default), but I'm using Mac OSX. I tried messing with the file types section of DW's preferences, but it didn't work. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

In the Mac Finder, select an XML file, and click More Info (or press Cmd+I - that's I, not a lowercase L) to bring up an Info panel. Expand the section that says Open With, and then select Dreamweaver from the pop-up menu (click Other, if it's not listed). Then click the Change All button to apply it to all XML files.

How to make PSE default for .psd files

Hi all
I have both PS CS2 and PSE9 installed on my MAC pro, running the latest version of Snow Leopard. If I click to open an image with a .psd extension, the system automatically launches PS CS2. I would like the system to recognize PSE9 as my default for images. I looked all around system preferences yesterday, but couldn't find anything. I'm sure I'm missing something..... Thanks.

Find a closed psd file. Click it once to highlight it and press command+i for the Get Info window. Under Open with Application choose PSE, then click Change All.

Set .mail as default for automatic replies

My system goes automatically to Entourage when I reply with an email on a website. I would like it to go to Mail. Where do I set it as the default email program I am using? Thx!

It is a little counter-intuitive, but you go to the Apple MAIL program, select preferences under the MAIL menu item. Click on the "GENERAL" icon at the upper left and the first entry allows you to select the email progam you Mac uses as a default. Just change this from Entourage to Mail and you will be sent to mail for all MAIL TO web page entries.

Windows 7, 64 bit won't allow me to set Adobe Reader X as default for PDF file

By right clicking a pdf file I can choose Adobe Reader as opposed to MS word, but the box to set default won't accept check mark to set this for all pdf. Therefore, when I click a pdf without saving to documents first and using open with, the click notes a WAB file error regarding parameters ect. There must be a fix for this that I am not aware of.

I have no idea what check box you are talking about or how you are trying to open a PDF. This is not the Reader forum where you should be asking this question. However, to set Reader as the default, you should be able to right click on the PDF and select open with, select Reader, and then check the box to always use this application to open a PDF.
