Associate .indd file extension with CS6

I have not been able to associate the file extension with CS6 in Windows Vista. The .indd extension is already taken by another application, yet when I try to change it, it does not save.

While highly unlikely as the reason, Vista was not tested and is not supported for CS6.
What “other application” has the INDD association? Is it a different version of InDesign? Did you install the other version AFTER CS6?

  • XML form: associate the file extension with an image

    Hello!
    I am creating some XML forms and i have to ulpoad a file.This isn´t a problem, but in RenderListItem I have to associate the file extension with an image(For example .doc with Word icon).Is it possible to do this? Thanks

    Hello ,
    I'm sorry, but this is not covered within the standart. You have the opportunity to do so in normal LayoutSets but not within a link in XML Forms. Maybe it's a workaround for you to provide a image selection for the author in the edit form, to select such an image manualy.
    hope this helps,

  • Plz help , how do i associate a file extension with a j2me application

    i need to associate a file extension (.gpj) with my j2me application. in other words when i open a .gpj file i need the j2me application to launch.
    thankyou

    To accomplish this your device need to have an implementation of the Content Handler API (JSR 211)
    1. The class that handles the file extension should implement the ContentListener Interface
    2. you should register the listener to be notified of new requests
    ContentHandlerServer myhandler=Registry.forClass(this.getClass().getName());
    myhandler.setListener(this);3.implement the invocationNotify() method of the ContentListener interface to handle this file extension
    Cheers
    and don't forget your (generous) dukes ;D

  • Computer associates .dwt file extension with AutoCAD (valid) - not DW Template. [was: roberth11148500]

    I have attempted unsuccessfully to create a webpage template using Dreamweaver CS6. On investigation I found that my computer was interpreting the dwt. suffix as an AutoCAD template rather than a Dreamweaver template.  I do have AutoCAD programmes on my computer and in that software dwt. is a valid suffix for templates.  Please someone kindly tell me how to overcome this problem?

    One way is to associate the extension with the relevant program as in Choose the apps Windows uses by default - Windows Help
    Another way is to right click the template file and choose Open With->Dreamweaver
    A third way, if you are running a PHP server is to give the temple a PHP extension as in myTemplate.dwt.php

  • How to associate other file extension with text/xml

    Hi,
    I found that I could only load files into XDB via ftp when they had the file extension ".xml". Why is this?
    Thanks

    The information as to which file extensions are associated with which mime-types is stored in the xdbconfig.file. You can add an entry using the following code
    connect system/oracle as sysdba
    call dbms_xdb.cfg_update
           updatexml
             dbms_xdb.cfg_get(),
             '/xdbconfig/sysconfig/protocolconfig/common/extension-mappings/mime-mappings',

  • Associate file extension with air app on Android

    Hi,
    I am trying to associate a file extension with my air app on Android. My goal is to be able to start my app by clicking on a file with a specific file type from either a file manager or mail app. I have found a solution that in theory would work in native, but does not with air somehow.
    In the .xml-file for the app, under the <android> tag I have written:
    <activity>
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
                <data android:scheme="file" />
                <data android:pathPattern=".*\\.csml" />
                <data android:host="*" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    Does anyone have an idea how this could be solved?
    Thanks in advance
    Jens

    If it works in a native app, it should also work in an AIR app in this case. Can you verify that it does work in a native app?

  • Possible to associate file extension with webstarted app?

    A common property of microsoft apps is to associate file extensions with specifiec apps.
    For example, when you double click on a .xl file, Excel is launched.
    Can the same kind of thing be done for Webstarted apps? If so how?

    I have an idea on how to do this, but I have not tried it.
    1. On first launch, the application does an "install" before starting the main screen.
    2. The install checks the OS, and writes a .sh or .bat file to disk. That batch file runs the command-line to start the application. Hmm, but how does it pass along $*?
    3. The install associates the proper file extension with the .bat file, and/or with the unix file manager software, and/or with IE, Netscape, and Mozilla.
    Then, when a user clicks on a link to a document, or a file in the windows explorer, then the JWS application should lanch and load the file(s).

  • *.indd file extension issue - InDesignCC 2014 - Windows 7

    I cannot get any file with the *.indd file extension to associate with InDesignCC 2014 in windows 7. When I try to use the "Open With" option, InDesignCC 2014 will not show up in the programs list, even if I manually select it. Should I uninstall / reinstall or is there another workaround?

  • Associate a File Type with a JAR

    How do I get XP to associate a file type with a JAR application? Since the extension on the application is JAR, I get a message from XP that I can't associate with it since it is not exe.

    Look at the association for the JAR extension, you'll find that it uses javaw.exe and the "open" action is mapped to some command line involving javaw.exe and %1 which represents the jar file to be executed. Now, for your extension make a very similar setup, only your "open" command line will look something like this:
    "C:\...\javaw.exe" -jar YourSpecialJar.jar "%1" %*
    That command line runs your jar file and passes the file being "opened" to the command line as the first parameter. (I don't know what the %* does but it's in the command line for the jar extension.)

  • Indd file extensions are not recognised any more

    Hi,
    We are running CS4 on our computers & removed old programs CS2, now extensions have changed & when double clicking to open dosn't recognise the extension. Trying "open with" there is no CS4 programs showing up. Only way of opening up file is going through Indesign. How do I fix this?
    Leanne

    Reinstallation shouldn't be necessary if you're just wanting to open your CS2 files within CS4.
    Within your operating system, you should be easily able to associate the CS2 file extensions with CS4. If you can post what operating system you use, I can point you in the right direction of instructions to do this.

  • Can't associate INDD files with InDesign CC 2014 (Windows 7)

    After updating to CC 2014, I noticed that my file associations for all my Creative Cloud applications were pointing to the wrong places. I assume this is because the new updates are actually different versions of the application and installed as completely separate apps. I was able to adjust my PSD and AI files to point to their new CC 2014 counterpart just fine, but when I tried setting the file association for INDD files, I noticed that the file type did not show up in the Windows 7 control panel file association list. So, instead I went directly to an INDD file on my computer, right-clicked, selected "Open with...", clicked "Browse..." and navigated to "InDesign.exe." When I selected it and pressed OK, it failed to change the file association. Repeating the process has not helped and now the only way to open an INDD file is to drag and drop it into the workspace of InDesign CC 2014. After restarting my computer, the INDD file type is now showing up in the Windows 7 control panel file association list, but it still is not allowing me to change the association.

    No, I did not. I'm running the 2014 Release version of InDesign for Windows (see screenshot below). And as far as I'm aware, Adobe has not released another update to the 2014 release version. I used to have the older version of InDesign Creative Cloud installed as well (the version right before the 2014 release), but have since uninstalled it as didn't want or need two versions of InDesign. I may just try re-installing the 2014 release version and see if that fixes things.

  • Windows 7 PrProj Files Associated with CS6 and not CC

    I have the CC installed on my workstation.  Since, for some reason, CC doesn't include Encore, I was advised to install Premiere Pro CS6 to get Encore installed.  So I did.
    All is well, except now when I double-click on a *.prproj file, Windows wants to open CS6 and NOT Premiere Pro CC.  Since my *.prproj files are created with CC, CS6, of course, won't open them.
    I tried to change the file association for the *.prproj file type, but for some reason, Premiere Pro CC isn't an option, and when I manually browse and choose CC, Windows still reverts back to CS6 to open *.prproj files.
    What's up with this?  I can open my *.prproj files if I launch Premiere Pro CC and THEN open the file, but I think I should be able to just double-click on the file in Explorer.
    Can I uninstall Premiere Pro CS6 and KEEP Encore?  Is there another way to change file assications in Windows?

    I have found a solution. I had precisely the same problem. But I want to keep both CS6 and CC, since only CS6 has a direct link to Encore. The problem occurs whenever I install an update to CS6. Right now my Premiere file extensions open with CC. But if I install an update to CS6, the file extensions will go back to opening with CS6.
    And I also tried changing the file extensions the way you did and had the same result.
    But I found the way to change the setting in the Windows Registry. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Adobe.Premiere.Pro.Project. Then go to shell/open/command and change the program from CS6 to CC.
    Also, if you do a search in the section of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Adobe.Premiere.(with various endings following the word "Premiere") and change all instances of CS6 to CC, then you will find that if you go to the file association page, all the files that used to be associated with Premiere Pro CS6 will now be associated with Premiere Pro CC.

  • Problem setting file extension with jspc

    I'm using xhtml which it appears the Jasper compiler (Tomcat 5.5) can't handle. It seems to only recognize files with the jsp and jspx extensions. Is there a way (either on the command line or via the Ant task) to set this? What is the proper way of pre-compiling these pages?
    Thanks in advance.
    Scott Czadzeck

    Hi,
    You can restrict them to save in any other format by making the check.
    Simply add listner for the Event.OPEN on the fileReference and inside this check for your allowed extension,if the extension is not what you want then
    simply right a line there like:-
    fileReference.cancel();
    And addtionally you can give any alert that your file should be of that particular extension.
    with Regards,
