Beware: Preview deletes changed/unsaved file without asking

Since this happened to me twice now and I lost an hour of work, I'd like too share with you my bad experience with Preview.app
A nice feature of Preview is the ability to add annotations to any pdf-file. If you add an annotation (e.g. a comment or some text-highlighting) and the file is then "marked" as changed and unsaved (by the black dot within the red dot in the top-left conner of the corresponding window). If you now hit CMD+Backspace (for example if you want to delete a annotation which you added by accident by clicking somewhere in the pdf-file while the note-tool was still activated) the WHOLE pdf-file will be deleted (i.e. moved to the bin) and all the changes are gone (if not saved before hitting cmd+Backspace)! Sure, the pdf is in the bin and can easily be restored but all the unsafed annotations are for ever lost.
Although it might not be a bug of preview but it is a very counterintuitive behavior which can destroy (and in my case has destroyed) a significant amount of working time.

I wouldn't say that the name "Delete" implies that the whole file is deleted, normally it just deletes the text your are working on, for example in "Mail.app" cmd+del just deletes the previous text and not the whole email
Actually, in general, it does. I just tried it in Mail and it deleted the entire highlighted email with the exception of having an active message composer window open and then, you are correct, it will only delete the previous typing.
I would assume that Preview is not presenting the "do you want to save..." window possibly because you are not adding/changing a document you created, but rather adding a note to a document that was created as or changed into a .pdf - in other words, it will not react like a word processing document because it isn't a word processing document.

  • I bough a Mac Pro 2010 second hand and deleted all the files without backing up now is asking me for the Apple ID of the person who installed maverick,any ideas

    I bough a Mac Pro 2010 second hand and deleted all the files without backing up now is asking me for the Apple ID of the person who installed maverick,any ideas

    If the Mac's firmware was updated, you can try this Internet Recovery:
    Hold down Command + Option + R during restart or bootup; hold until you see a spinning globe (takes up to 10 minutes). Once in the Utilities window, use Disk utility to wipe the drive, then return to the window and choose to reinstall OS X. If that works, the OS will be installed without being tied to an Apple ID.
    FWIW, if the firmware was updated, you will not be able to use the Snow leopard disk to install - I just did several tests and it does not work. You can, however, possibly install the SL onto an external drive and then clone it to the internal or (if you have a clone), boot from that and clone it back - I just tested that as well.
    If the firmware was not updated, then you can use the SL install disk.

  • Acrobat DC installs "Send File" without asking

    I updated Acrobat and had DC delete and replace Pro XI. It also installed a add-on in MS Outlook called Send File. It did not ask if this was OK.
    Personally I don't like the look of the new program and since you can uninstall and go back a generation I did.
    Adobe, if you want to be Dropbox or Hightail then make a stand-alone. And never modify another non-Adobe application without asking permission.

    Nothing can stop people reusing your material. If it's really worth
    anything, text can be retyped of course, and images can be rescanned,
    or screen captured. You should certainly make this part of your
    contract with end users if it is a concern.
    If you are sending proofs, you can use a lower resolution, but if you
    are sending a final copy you have few options. You can of course set
    document security to block Acrobat (but not every program) from
    copying text or even allowing printing.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 saving over files without asking

    Open a picture in Elements 12, on Mac, do a Save As, give it a name without an extension, and save.  It will save the file and add a .jpg at the end.  Then open a different file, do a Save As, give it the same name as you just saved the other file with, without an extension, and save.  It will overwrite the existing file you saved first, without asking, and add .jpg to the name again.  I have lost all kinds of files, and I dont know which ones, by PS Elements 12 saving over them without warning me!  BUG!

    Oh, and while you're in there delete:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
    There's a saved application states folder at the same level as the Preferences folder. Delete anything in there for PSE.

  • Upload file without asking user for the file

    Hi,
    I need to upload a file to server, but from my code, not using the file upload from page.
    I have created a xml file and I need to upload to server when user open a web browser (without asking user to select a file).
    How do I proceed??, or what kind of libraries do I must use?
    thanks

    Hi,
    thanks for answer.
    Let me try to explain again (I think its very simple).Simple, yes. But not very thorough.
    I have developed a web application using JSF.So all the code is running on the server, right? There are no Applets, Applications or WebStart applications involved. Right?
    My application has a splash screen where I show data. I have developed a bean to connect to my database (sql server), extract this data and create an xml (using DOM) file like:
    <news>
    <simplenews id="1"> Value </simplenews>
    </news>And that bean runs ... where? Server again?
    (important step) Once I have created the xml file in my bean I want to upload to the server to a place like /WEB-INF/news.
    If the code is running on the server, then "uploading" is the wrong term, as there's nowhere to upload to, since you're already on the server.
    This may sound like nit-picking, but you're sending us on a wrong trail with this phrase.
    Once the file is on the server with another bean I read the xml fileWhy don't you simply store it in the application scope and let everyone access it from there? It doesn't sound as if the XML is huge.
    As you can see I haven't a web page where to show an upload file componetYou also don't want to "upload" anything from the client, from the sound of it.
    You simply want to transfer data between to server-side components, if I understood you correctly.

  • Finder changes Icon List without asking

    Strange behaviour on my new SL mac.
    If I change the Icon List in a folder to, say, Cover Flow, the finder (sometimes?) changes other (all?) folders to Cover Flow. And vice versa etc.
    Obviously I don't want that.
    Is this something I can switch off, or a bug?
    Thanks
    Tom
    PS Another thing that came in with OS9 I think. When you duplicate a file (Apple D) it makes a copy then leaves the cursor in the original label. In the old days it left the cursor in the COPY file - which meant you could change the name without having to reselect. Much better. Is there any way to go back to the old system? (It's been annoying me for years).

    If I change the Icon List in a folder to, say, Cover Flow, the finder (sometimes?)
    changes other (all?) folders to Cover Flow.
    I see the same thing in Snow Leopard, and after some earlier experimenting my own take on this is as follows. I'm not sure it is all correct:
    My understanding is that despite the wording, the View Option setting for "Use as Defaults" was not intended to be interpreted as "Other folders (or even just 'all new folders') will now open in the same view as this one." Rather "Use as Defaults" means "IF a future folder is displayed in the same view as this one, THEN that view will have the same internal parameters as this window does."
    For example, if the current folder window is in List view and you use View Options to change the Text Size from 12 to 14 and then click "Use as Defaults", then IF a future folder is opened in List view, THEN it will also display with Text size 14. If the current folder window is in Icon View and you change the icon size from 64x64 to 108x108 and click "Use as Defaults" then IF a future folder is opened in icon view, THEN it will also display 108x108 icons.
    But clicking "Use as Defaults" doesn't affect WHETHER a future folder will open in a particular view when double-clicked. *The global default for that is simply the last view that was used for a prior folder*, with the exception of particular folders which had been individually set to "always open in xxx view".
    So for example, I just created and opened a new folder on my Desktop, set it to List view, used command-J and altered its parameters somewhat, clicked "Use as Defaults, and closed the folder window. I then created a second new folder, and it opened in List view, as expected. I then set this second folder window to Icon view, and closed it without doing anything else. *I then re-opened the first folder, and it opened in Icon view*, without regard to the "Default" that had been previously set while it was in List view. I then created a 3rd new folder, and it also opened in Icon view, again the "last view used for the prior folder" not the "Use as Defaults" that had earlier been set for the first folder's List view.
    The View Option wording "Always open in xxx view" is also somewhat ambiguous - it actually means "always open THIS folder" in xxx view, not "always open ALL folders " in xxx view. Checking this box will not in itself affect the behavior of any other folder, whether or not that folder has been previously opened. The global default for opening another folder will continue to be the view that was used for the prior folder, and this default can be again be individually overridden for a particular folder by checking that folder's box for "Always open in xxx view."

  • Open file without asking

    I've set pdf files to open with my default application (without asking).
    Nerveless, FF keeps asking whether to save or open the file.
    (The same happens with any file type, and also in safe mode and a new profile).
    Any idea?
    Thanks.

    Try go to '''Tools''' >> '''Addons''' >> '''Plugins''' , try set the plugins to '''Always active''', then test again.
    Also try check your plugins:
    *http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    When you said that you already set the default application, are you talking in the application menu?

  • How do I delete a large file without my computer crashing?

    I am playing around with HD video and have a very large Quicktime File (12.5GB) that froze my computer while rendering.  I need to delete it.  (CRASH: screen freezes and dark line slowly comes from top to bottom and once entire screen is slightly darker, a post in the middle pops up and tells me to turn off computer by holding power button).
    After a lot of trial and error, it seems the problem is that the computer can't handle the massive deletion.  Unlike a lot of other similar issues on this forum, this is a single file and not hundreds, so i can't delete portions at a time and be done with it.  I have run through all my ideas and need help on how to delete this file from my computer and have come up with two possible ways:
    1 - Split this video into smaller files.  I dont know how to do this: I have SPLIT-CONCAT but that duplicates (then splits) and does not actually split the original.  I tried "replacing" the video with the same-named smaller file and it crashed the computer.
    2 - Change preferences on this computer somehow to allow this massive deletion. I tried a force empty through terminal and it did the same crash.  I dont know if there is a preference (disk manager) or otherwise to get rid of this file. 
    I am on a 2006 Intel iMac running 10.7.4

  • How can I delete damaged picture files without opening iPhoto?

    I was downloading a few pics from my roommates professional-quality camera (I'm assume the file sizes are huge) and, of course, I had to download all 150 or so, instead just the few I needed. Anyway, I got a message that some of the files were "damaged" and couldn't be downloaded. Now, when I open iPhoto it either just locks up or shows some of the files downloaded, doesn't show others, and then locks up. So, what I need to do is just delete all pictures from that date without opening iPhoto .... any ideas how to do this?

    1 - In the future if you want only certain photos use image capture (in your applications folder) - with it you can selective load photos
    2 - try rebuilding your library - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and use the first three rebuild options
    Do not use the finder to modify the contents of the iPhoto library

  • Can you delete iMovie video files without affecting a project?

    I downloaded files from my recorder and created an iMovie. I didn't use every recorded file.
    Now that I've created a project can the orginal files be deleted to save space?

    If you never ever want to edit that project again, and if the raw footage contains images that are not important to you, and you never want to use those clips in a future project you can delete them.
    The important thing to remember is that your video clips are stored in Events. The Project only contains a text file that has the paths to the event clips and instructions for how to put your video together.
    When you finish a project and SHARE it using the Share menu, you are creating a finished version of the project. So if that is all you will ever need, you can delete your events and even your project.
    What a lot of people do is to have a large external drive to store old events on. See instructions here.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
    Also, if you create a camera archive (for AVCHD camcorders) of your raw clips, you can re-import your event clips later.

  • I want to use preview to view pdf files without trashing the adobe plug-ins?

    Some of the government web sites that I need to visit regularly require me to use firefox and adobe for opening and viewing files. I would like to still be able to use Safari and Preview for opening, viewing and printing files from other web sites. Before the latest adobe update this was no problem, but now Adobe seems to have taken control over the viewing and printing settings so that even though I try printing from a Safari viewer window I get an Adobe message that this is not supported. I tried to search for an answer as I suppose I am not the only one having this problem after the most recent Adobe update. Thanks for your great help everyone. /Christian

    See if either of these help you.

  • FCPX changes my transition without asking

    This seems to be another one of what must be a "breed" of bugs that are caused by restarting FCPX.
    I made a video to make explanation easy.
    http://youtu.be/c6jrbHKfb5Q
    Basically I have a transition that I'm perfectly happy with.
    It fades to black and then fades the next clip in from black. It works. It looks good.
    I restart FCPX and whoosh, it's gone.
    It's actually been modified into some hybrid transition (that fails to fade the 2nd clip in from black) - see video.
    What's most unusual about it, is that it creates what looks like a "nested transition" (yeah, I don't know what this is either, but it's there).
    I can't actually edit the "nested" transition, but you can see it (see video)

    Actually, I'd like to make a question out of this post and simply ask: "How can I get out of this situation?" - see image.
    I'm in the Precision Editor here and the most confusing thing to start with is that you see 2 transitions when I selected only 1 before pressing Ctrl-E.
    I'd just be happy being able to remove the "bottom" transition so I can get on with it.
    When I hover over the lower transition, it doesn't act like when I hover over the top (main) transition.
    I can't select it or move it. The mouse pointer acts the same as if it wasn't there - hand pointer, that just moves the clip.
    Which makes me think it's a bug and I'm pretty screwed, in that I have no way of modifying the transition at the bottom, since I can't see it until I get to this screen, and here I can't modify it.

    as soon I install itunes, I have a huge slow down of all XP. Installation takes a long time, it freezes XP very often. Once it s installed, it takes a long time to start (often more than 1 minute), often freezes XP. quicktime steals the default access for mp4 files, each time I try to use explorer on a folder with MP4 files, xp freezes for minutes, it never shows previews, takes a long time to start when it effectivly starts, reads a lot less than open readers like vlc or mpc. when I try to set another reader as default reader for MP4, quicktime keeps the hand on it, cannot get rid of freezes withoout deleting quicktime, witch make itunes unavailable
    LAST BONUS: after having reinstalled itunes to sync my contacts, it tried to sync the apps without beung asked (maybe because i dowloaded 2 apps on my computer) and STARTED TO DELETE ALL OTHER APPS WITHOUT ASKING CONFIRMATION DELETTING ALL MY DATAS
    TOO MUCH FOR ME
    BYE ITUNES

    No, they actually thought that people would use autosync and have one master library. They didn't think that people had 3 or 4 computers that they would spread their music/videos over. Why not combine all your files on one computer?
    As far as music/videos from your Aunt's computer, those aren't yours and the other reason for Apple doing what you want is they don't want people stealing music. Please don't steal music.
    One more thing, on your master computer that the iPod is linked to, set it to manually manage your music and you can use it between different computers. You will have to eject it manually every time you are through syncing/charging and want to remove it.

  • Why does FireFox change layout/settings during upgrades without asking ?

    Just upgraded to Firefox 18 (windows 7 desktop). Why does Firefox change layouts/settings without asking the user if he wants it or not???
    I am getting sick of those changes. I want to have at the google main page the options (as before) to search in all languages, or pages from a certain language or pages in a certain language (of course depening of the google address; f.i. at google.de for german languages, google.fr for french languages etc).
    In the latest Firefox 17 it was working as I wanted and described before: when I visited www.google.de/firefox of www.google.fr/firefox. Now those 3 options (under the search bar) are gone and I do not want to operate by clicking on the advanced search button. Those things should be visible under the search bar again.
    Also my STARTPAGE was GONE/DELETED after the update !!! Grrrrr.... Updating is OK but mozilla should not change user configured items !!!!!!!
    The above described problem has nothing to do with the google website.

    By the way, do Firefox and IE use the same proxy settings? You can view Firefox's here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > "Network" mini-tab > "Settings" button
    The default is "Use system proxy settings".

  • File Upload and download without asking/specifing the path

    Hi,
    I have a requirement in which user must be able to edit the Abode offline form by clicking on edit link. On clicking the link document must open (either download to some temporary location) in new window and user must be able to edit & to save the changes and also user must be able to check in or upload the file without asking for the location (source location).
    1. Is it possible to achive the similar functionality in WebDynpro ABAP?
    Like we open a document by clicking a link and we do changes and save the file and user clicks a button Check In and the document (which we edited) is uploaded to the application?
    If yes could you please provide some information.
    2. Is it possible in WDA to download a file to a temporary location and open the file for user editing & saving and also provide a option in applicaiton to upload the file from this temporary directory?
    -- In GUI frontend services we can find the temporary directory ... but is it possible to achive this functionality in WDA?
    3. Using FileDownload UI Element, we have option to download a file (Inplace option) which will open the file in the page ..but is there any possibility to read the modified contents in the Webdynpro application?
    I mean can we achive the check in functionality using this approach? If yes could you please provide some information.
    Please suggest incase this functionality can be achived using some other methods
    Thanks and best regards,
    Suresh
