Any way to stop automatic file names?

When I try to save anything, whatever the cursor happens to point at is inserted as the file name. That is extremely annoying. Either a file already has a name or I will give it the name I want. Is there any way to turn off this feature?

Hello.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Is there any way to show the file name super imposed on the slides?

Is there any way to show the file name super imposed on the slides in Premiere Elements 9?
I am setting up pictures as slide show along with some movie clips but wanted the desctiptive file names appearing with each picture.
Thanks!

Yes. In Timeline mode, you add it to an upper video track as a title.
I show you the basics of titles in the Basic Training tutorials at Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com.

Any way to keep original file name as image name for web gallery?

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to keep the original file name as image name for a web gallery (instead of "picture-1.jpg)
People often send us the thumbnails or the image from the web and we have to search forever to find the image in AP - if we could keep our original filename then this would be a second away.
Hope somebody has an idea
thanks

Hi William,
I finally had time to play - unfortunately it does
not work the way you described above.
I´m just exporting a set of images using the "Stock
Black" Theme - marked name only - batched the
filename to masterfile - but the actual picture names
are still "picture-1.jpg" - "picture-2.jpg".
did I miss anything? thanks
I see what you want, you don't care about the screen name so much but want the generated file names to be the same as the version names. From earlier messages though I am not quite sure why this is a problem, since you said other people were picking the images they wanted - say Image1 and 23 and 8. That to me says those people are going through the directory using Finder or Explorer, not using the HTML.
Is it the case you are giving people web galleries on CD? If so, then perhaps also export a "browse" directory with exported images using the version names, so that people can use the right name.
Or perhaps it's the case that people are downloading the images from the web, and then using the downloaded file names to send you requests. I'm not sure how to fix this yet and do not know if 1.1 offers something for this.

Is there a way to alter the file name given to the attachments in an email button?

When ever I click the standard email button, I get an attachement with random alfa and numeric characters for the file name. Is there any way to change the files names to match a data field in the form or start with something I choose?
Thanks,
Judy

Hi RudyLou36,
While viewing the form in Preview TAB of LC Designer you will always get the junk characters as the name of the file. Save the file and open it in Acrobat or Reader.
You won't be able to change the filename unless you save the file first. Here (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/462681) is an example of a number of ways to deal with parts of the email programatically.

C3-00: Any way to stop name/number appearing when ...

My query is about the name of the sender appearing when you receive a text. Is there any way to stop the name from appearing when a text is received? I tried general settings in messaging but all that appears there are options for font size, graphical smileys and delivery reports.
I don't want a name or number to appear when I get a text so I would appreciate if someone could help me out.

Any way to stop auto shared volumes from opening in finder when booting?

Leopard 10.5.8, but has been happening since at least 10.4.x...I have auto mounts setup in my user preferences, the auto mount fine, but the automatically open up too...makes it very annoying having to close all windows every time I boot the system...we have multiple Mac Pros running both Leopard and Snow Leopard...is there any way to stop the opening of the shares when I boot? maybe an applescript or something? thanks.

there are some fancy solutions to this using autofs or /etc/fstab but a less involved method might be by using applescript. open Applescript editor (it's in /Applications/Utilities) and paste the following in it
mount volume "afp://nas.ip.address/path-to-share"
add a line like that for each share you are mounting.
save the script as an application and add it to your login items. on the first try it will ask you to enter user name and password if your shares have any. enter those and check the box to save it in the keychain. it won't ask again. this will mount those shares without opening separate finder windows.

Is there any way to play all files in a directory by one url?

Hi all,
I am testing fms this days, I have put all my files(such as 1.mp3,2.mp3...n.mp3) in my directory.
I can play single file fine with url like this:
rtmp://localhost/mp3/mp3:x/2
but i want to know is there any way to play all files in my direcotry?
for example, user click the play button, the player(smp) automatic plays all files in the directory, link windows media server.
Should I use playlist? Or there is another better way?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
FMS do not directly take a directory to play files, the file names have to be fetched some way (through script if needed) to make a playlist and then the play command needs to be repeated as many times.
Thank you !

Is there any way to get the files from other computer ?

Hai all,
I have 2 computers connected. I know the IP address of other computer. Is there any way to get the files from other computer. (for e.g. I want to get the files from specific folder. In Java netwroking is it possible? (Any programs)
regards,
Namanc

Bro Take it easy.
Think you need to send a Image file named ("abc.gif")
now develop a server using ServerSocket and connect it in local IP and any PORT
For example i think ur server is connected in "localhost" and 9000 port.
Now make ur server educated using some commands.
For example:
FileName: <File Name String>
[Means new file is sending by connected client]
FileSize: <File size long or int value>
[ So that ur server can determind about the total length of sender file]
DataModeOpen
[Now your client will send its image data, this command means your client software is sending data]
fjadlkfjaofaijojfwoeiurfodkjflsajlfksa
l23j4lj23lkjlasjfoq23j4rokjelfkjasldkf
2o3j4lk2j3ljslakdjf2l3j4 l23kjlk23k4j
DataModeClose
[Means file sending finished]
Close
[Means your client connection is closed]
Now develop a client supporting this command.
For example(Server):
String getFileName=null;
long getFileSize=0;
public handleCommand(String getCmd) {
    if(getCmd.startsWith("FileName")) {
            String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
            this.getFileName=   splitData[1];
            outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("FileSize")) {
            String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
            this.getFileSize=Long.parseLong(splitData[1]);
            outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeOpen")) {
           //data mode open so receive data
          receiveData();
          outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeClose")) {
          //close client socket
         getClientSocket.close();
}For client:
DataInputStream dataIn=null;
BufferedOutputStream bout=null;
public sendFile(bytes[] getBytes) {
        //if ok found then do other or show error message
    if(sendCmd("FileName:"+getFileName)) {
        if(sendCmd("FileSize:"+getFileSize)) {
            if(sendCmd("DataModeOpen")) {
               bout.write(getBytes);
            } else {
               showError(3);
        } else {
               showError(2);
   } else {
        showError(1);

Is there any way to stop an app from updating? I accidently hit "update all" and have an app i don't want updated. Thanks

you can't reverse the process, once you accepted there is no other way, if you sync it to your itunes library in your computer it will automatically update the updated app as well.
What you can try though is delete the app from your iPad and try syncing it to your itunes library but if you set up iCloud it may update the app automatically

Is there any way to stop details showing up in reminders?

Is there any way to stop details showing up in reminders? Before a recent ios update, you had to click on the reminder to show details. Now the details show up in reminders automatically which has made my task list unmanageable - I often create tasks from emails I get in my business Microsoft Outlook/Exchange account.
Before the update, the reminder list worked really well. I got a nice neat list and could click into individual reminders for all the details if I needed them.
Now I don't get a nice neat list - but all the content of my emails in my reminder list.
There doesn't seem to be any way to change the settings so the reminder doesn't include all the details.
Has anyone else found this a problem? Help!

Any way to stop iPhoto from launching every time iPhone syncs??

The subject posting says it all: Is there any way to stop iPhoto from launching every time I synch my iPhone? I've clicked this and that, checked this and that. I must be missing something so if someone could help, I thank you in advance.

OR ... delete the photos from the phone after they were imported. If you want those photos to be on the phone, set them to import during a sync. Getting them out of the iPhone's "camera roll" album is the key here.
An easy way is to set up a iPhoto album called "for iPhone" or something. When your new photos are initially imported into iPhoto they will be in the "last roll" smart album. Select them from there and drag them into your "for iPhone" album and make sure that album is selected to sync. Either check the "delete photos after importing" box in iPhoto or delete them manually from your "camera roll" album on your iPhone after the sync. iPhoto will not automatically open until you take new photos.
Remember ... setting Image capture to not open iPhoto, as well as the setting iPhoto to delete photos after importing ... will apply to your camera or memory card device as well.

Why not delete the files from the scandisc card after you import them to iTunes?
