BEx Web - Open/Save dialog - Set Default Type

Hi All,
In the BEx Open/Save dialog (accessed thru New Analysis button), shows "Views" in the Type drop down as default. Is there a way to set this type to Query by default?
Thanks & Regards,
Sree

Option is available in the XML code where the type of dataprovider can be selected as "QUERY" or "VIEW" or "INFOPROVDER".

  • Sort-by-type for column view in open/save dialog boxes?

    Hello all,
    I've done a fairly good search both on Google and in these forums and can't seem to find this question addressed. When I go to open or save something (in Preview, for example) I prefer to use Column View in the dialog box, since it is easy to see and navigate the folder structure. However, Column View always shows up sorted by name, even if I specified in Finder that the folder be sorted by type. Because of this, I have to scroll down and hunt for subfolders rather than having them conveniently listed at the top.
    My question is this: is there a way to get Column View to sort by type in the open/save dialog boxes? (The Command+J that works in regular Finder does nothing in these dialog boxes.)
    Thanks!

    No. Column view will only sort by name. If you wanted to put a space before each folder name, then they will sort to the top. Sorting by Kind will put folders above files, but it will also put anything else except files at the top. If there are only folders, however, that would put them first in the sort list.

  • Open/save dialog boxes stuck at (too small) default size

    I've been having a relatively small issue with Mountain Lion that has become a big hassle. In past versions of OS X, whenever I'd resize an open/save dialog box in an application, it would be that size the next time I went to open/save. In Mountain Lion, however, those dialog boxes always default to the smallest possible size (which is too small to read a filename longer than a few characters). so I have to resize the dialog box — every time! I open and save a lot of files, so this gets pretty tedious. This doesn't seem to happen in apple programs, but it definitely does in the Office Suite and the Adobe Creative Suite, especially in CS4 Photoshop and Illustrator. Might be I can fix it by myself but I can't imagine where I may dig it.

  • Open/Save Dialogs: How to Set Min. Sidebar Width?

    I am now running Lion.  I cannot remember if I had this problem under Snow Leopard, but I certainly have it now.  Whenever I bring up the Open/Save dialog within some apps (for example, Illustrator CS5.0), no matter how large I've made that dialog overall, the sidebar width is always too narrow such that all the names inside the sidebar aren't perfectly visible horizontally.  Yes, I can make the sidebar wider by hand for a single session.  But if I close the dialog and open it again, the sidebar becomes narrow again.
    How can I define a minimum width for the Open/Save dialog sidebar, that all apps will obey perpetually?

    Perhaps, but in my many years of online forum participation, I've found that people are lazy (myself included at times). And unless we exert ourselves, we often don't post something for the benefit of others, even though we may have the answer.  As such, a somewhat provocative follow-up post, while having the potential to upset some, is usually sufficient to encourage at least one person to stand up and post a potential solution.  It got you to post a response (even though it was not the answer I sought), which I appreciate.  Hopefully, someone with the answer will be able to post back here.  I am a believer of "where there's a will there's a way," so no doubt someone out there far more clever than I has discovered a fix for it.
    I therefore look forward to hearing the thoughts of others on this issue.

  • Open/Save Dialog, 9 min. Beachball Freeze

    I am running OS 10.10.2 on a March 2009 iMac with 8GB RAM and 1TB HD.
    PROBLEM: While working in Illustrator 18 (CC 2014), if I choose File > Open, the Open dialog appears but I get the spinning beachball for 9 minutes before file contents appear. I don't have the same problem in Photoshop or any other app.  But after Googling, I see that a number of people have posted similar Console Log messages (see below) when using in a variety of apps in Yosemite, even in Apple's own Mail app.  This tells me the root problem may not be specific to Illustrator, even though it only affects Illustrator in my case currently.
    WHAT I TRIED:
    1) Moved all Adobe Illustrator related PLISTS and preference files and folders to the Desktop and then launched Illustrator.  I saw Illustrator rebuild new prefs files and all settings reverted back to stock.  This proves my moving of the prefs to the Desktop was successful to cause a rebuild of new prefs and PLISTS. Even so, the BeachBall freeze appeared when I did a File > Open.
    2) Rebooted with SHIFT held down (Safe Mode).  But the beachball problem remains.
    3) Disconnected all USB devices except keyboard/mouse, and turned off WiFi and BlueTooth, and even yanked my Ethernet cable.  I also turned off Time Machine and Default Folder.  But the problem remains, even through a reboot.
    4) I removed DropBox and GoogleDrive and I closed all apps other than Illustrator, but to no avail.
    5) Tried a Guest User, but that doesn't work with Adobe Apps.  Ditto for a Standard user.  You get an error dialog when you try to launch Adobe apps with that kind of user.  So I then created an Admin user.  Illustrator's Open dialog box displays files perfectly, as normal!  A NEW ADMIN USER FIXES THE PROBLEM!
    So a new Admin user fixes the beachball problem in the Open dialog, but for my normal Admin user there's the 9 min. beachball problem.  And yet, SAFE MODE doesn't fix the problem while in my normal User.  And neither does deleting Illustrator prefs.  So it's clear there's still something lurking in my primary user account that is absent in the new Admin user account.  But what?  And how can I find it?  (Migrating everything to a new User account is no easy task.)
    Pertinent section of CONSOLE system.log:

    I get the exact same set of messages that you see above every time I try to reproduce the problem, simply by doing a File > Open in Illustrator.
    I assume AFP is Apple File Protocol?  But what "server" is it trying so desperately in vain to "Get"?  And why is a DNS resolver being used?
    Anyway, as you can see from the Console log above, the beachball in the Open/Save dialog in Illustrator goes away after 534 seconds (about 9 min.).  But it reappears each time I try to go to a new folder on my HD within that Open dialog.  Each time takes exactly 534 seconds each time for the stupid beachball to go away when changing folders in the Open dialog. 
    This beachball freeze (for 9 min.) in Illustrator's Open dialog occurred every once and a while over the last several weeks, but now it consistently happens.  And no, I've not installed any new software on my iMac other than Yosemite updates.
    Once again, I would prefer to fix the root problem in my primary user account rather than migrate to a New User even though I now know a new Admin user account resolves the problem.
    Please help.

    With regard to my cry for help...
    Pretty please?
    Here are links to other apps which show the same Console Log messages that I am seeing, proving this is not an issue exclusive to a single app:
    Vmware & OS 10.10.2
    Pertaining to networked HD's
    Shared Mac on a Network
    Prevents Time Capsule access and kills Time Machine too
    OS 10.10 & Time Capsule woes
    OS 10.9.2 & NAS woes
    Yosemite & Time Capsule woes
    iPhoto woes after Migration
    More Time Capsule woes
    Time Machine woes from Germany (translated)
    mDNSResponder stuck in restart loop
    If you read through all the above like I did, you're probably very tired by now.  But if you had the same problem as I do, you would do anything to resolve it, hence my post here.  So again, I plead for your kind help and attention to this problem!
    The above links do tell me one thing, that a "network error" is at the heart of the Console log messages and my problem.  And that remains true even when I've disconnected from the network entirely, leading me to believe that this is some sort of CACHING BUG.  For truly, there is a Time Capsule at my office, and I do use Time Machine (although not saving to the TC but instead to an external FW HD).  So...  It is my guess that Yosemite has cached some network data it doesn't like and tries to access that data from a cache when the Open Dialog appears in Illustrator.  But WHY ILLUSTRATOR in my case?  It makes no sense to me at all.  I would think it should consistently occur in the Open dialogs of all apps, but it's only in Illustrator.
    I did have problems with my Time Machine backups after putting Yosemite on my iMac, but those issues were resolved in the 10.10.2 update.
    In any case, if indeed it is a CACHING BUG, how then would I clear that stupid, evil cache?
    Again, I would appreciate your kind thoughts and advice.
    Thank you!

  • Open/save dialog boxes not working correctly.

    Environment: CS6 (PS 13.0.1) Mac OS X 10.7.5. Plenty of hardware. (Generally starting with .CR2 RAW.)
    Two open/save problems
    Recently (maybe since the 13.0.1 update??), I have been having problems with the open and save as dialog boxes.
    First. The open file dialog always defaults to Enable: blank (i.e. no file types enabled). Each time I have to  go to the bottom of the dropdown list and select "All readable documents" before I can open ANY type of file. I've searched in everyway I can think of looking for some method to have OPEN default to "all readable" but can't find anyway to do this. Anyone have a suggestion? I admit this is a nuisance more than anything, but when whipping around at deadline having to stop each time and make this change is irritating. No other program has this difficulty (including Illustrator and InDesign). PS5.5 did not exhibit this behavior on the same machine.
    Second. When I save as and try to select any file format, say going from psd to tiff, the format dropdown list ALWAYS selects the format ABOVE the one I choose. Example: If I select JPEG, PS tries to save as .iff. If I pull the selection down to JPEG2000 it will then save as standard JPEG. Again just an irritant but, tiff (which I need for several other programs) is last on the list thus there is no way I can go one below it to get tiff format selected. It always comes out as png. Also note that the Format selection indicates the correct format - in the case of tiff the dialog box shows TIFF selected, but the program is apending .png. (Continuing the save as (without altering my selection) always results in the incorrect format no matter what the Format dialog says in the save as operation.) Again, no other program I work with (including several Adobe products) exhibits this behavior.
    I seriously need to be able to save as tiff. Anyone with any thoughts on this?
    Thanks much,
    Robert

    I appreciate all responses particularly from an "Official Adobe" human being!
    Unfortunately, a significant amount of effort has been expended with no joy here.
    I have done the following;
    (1) examined every plug-in folder for duplicates - None found
    (2) deleted the symlinks (aliases) Topaz created referencing their plug-ins in /Library/Application Support
    (3) reinstalled the Topaz bundle - no change
    (4) Spoke at length with Topaz support and have been assured that all of their plug-ins are CS6 compatible.
    (5) Have had the same conversation with Nik regarding their 2 plug-ins - assured that they are compatible.
    Frankly I'm stumped here. I've combed my system in everyway I can without any change in PS behavior - on Open it defaults to blank and "Save as" selects the wrong format.
    Question for the experts. Would deleting PS completely and then reinstalling make a difference or am I now in uncharted territory and on my own?
    Thanks for all assistance,
    Robert
    Still need to save as TIFF but can't seem to get there.

  • Check if file downloaded successfully , through Open Save dialog box

    hi,
    In the jsp I have a download link through which user can download a file which is located on the server . I have achieved this by setting the response type in servlet as follows => response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName); .When the jsp page loads the user is shown a Open Save dialog box for downloading the file. The user can download the file or cancel the operation.
    But now I need to track if the user has downloaded the file successfully on his m/c , depending on which a flag will be updated in the database . I am not able to track this event . Pls help how I can check if the file has been downloaded successfully and do further processing.

    This is fully dependent on the client side. You can never rely on that.
    In most cases you could check if any byte of the file is written to the outputstream and/or no IOException is been thrown, but some webbrowsers (such as Firefox) will download the file immediately while the client still need to choose 'save' or 'cancel'. Only when the client chooses 'cancel' the download will be aborted and the file will be deleted. But if the file is small and/or the network is fast, then the file download might be already completed at that time.
    Again, you can never rely on what happens at the client side.

  • File Open/Save dialog

    Hi,
    One of my pet peeves about Jdeveloper and by extension of SQLDeveloper is that the file open/save dialog does not have quick way to navigate to familiar places on my computer like "My Documents" or "Desktop". For eg., in Word, I can navigate to My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places.
    I know Jdeveloper and SQLD are also meant for the Unix Platform, but having shortcuts like My Network Places, Desktop, My Computer etc atleast for the Windows based tools would make it immensly easier to find files.
    Something even better would be to allow each person to customize that list of shortcuts he can have in that list.
    Thanks
    Alex

    Yes, this is absolutely necessary for Windows users!
    In a non-java Windows application I can usually put a shortcut to my favored directory in the directory an application might default to, then double-click it and the windows environment is smart enough to move to that directory, and I can save my files.
    Java is stupid in this regard. It thinks you are trying to save the file to the name of the shortcut. I CANNOT stand an application that isn't smart enough to set preferences to default file locations!
    I should also add that I set the USER_DIR to the directory I save all my files in (on my u:drive) and SQL Developer then runs those files without the entire path (I can just put in @a for example) but it is too STUPID to save to this directory!

  • Open/Save Dialoge Box covers the whole screen - CS3/Vista

    Hi,
    I´m using Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista and I have the following problem:
    I can´t reduce the open/save dialoge box in Photoshop CS3 as I could in earlier versions, which I find very inconvenient.
    It stretches over the whole screen and there seems to be no way of reducing it. There are handles at the corners but they don´t work.
    Is this normal in CS3 or could it be just a wrong setting in Windows?
    I hope somebody can help me on this, thank you so much!
    Best regards,
    Mike

    Is this normal in CS3 or could it be just a wrong setting in Windows?
    No, it's not normal. There are two things I can think of:
    - the dialog repositioning feature of your graphics card is not working properly (NVidia Desktop etc.)
    - you resized the dialog in another program and now the huge size has become the system default
    In both cases the solution should be pretty obvious - either adjust the settings/ turn off the graphics card's special features or resize the dialog back in the program it was turned huge in the fi8rst place. For the latter, also checking your more general folder view options as well as manually deleting desktop.ini files may offer a way out.

  • Snow Leopard sidebar width in open/save dialog boxes

    I think I found the answer to the infuriating non adjustable sidebar width in the open/save dialog box.
    It requires finding the plist of every program you want to change (I know... annoying)
    Close the application if open. Open the plist in Property List Editor (which is the default anyway so just double click) and delete any line which begins NSNavPanelExpanded...
    Reopen the application and the sidebar now mirrors the settings in Finder (where the sidebar stays adjusted if you alt+click drag it).
    I haven't restarted yet so don't know if it will stick but I don't see why it shouldn't, and I don't know if it will reflect further finder changes to the sidebar width.

    In the case of Photoshop it looks like NSNavBrowserPreferedColumnContentWidth also needs to be deleted, or a new value entered.
    So it might be different for different programs

  • Why can't I sort in Open/Save dialog boxes?

    Ever since I upgraded to ML, I found that I am unable to sort the listing in open/save dialog boxes. Currently the folder contents (List view) are all sorted by reverse Name. There are times I rather sort by Modification Date or Creation Date.
    The regular finder windows work as expected (click to sort, two clicks to reverse sort), but it seems this functionality have been removed from the Open/Save dialog boxes. I've searched for any tips/hints, but have been unable to find anything. Help.

    v3ktor.com wrote:
    Could not find the sorting function in the open dialogs before coming here. Really bad interaction design from Apple. It took me ages to figure it out. And if you sort it on "name" how do you switch A-Z or Z-A?
    You are not sorting, you are Arranging (ie grouping). In the Open file dialogs, you don't have an option to Sort.
    If you want to sort the items, set Arrangement to None and use the List View. Click the headers to sort. If you want to add more headers, right-click on the headers to select them.
    In the regular Finder Windows, the options when you click on that button without any modifiers is the Arrangement options. Arrangement groups items by those criteria. By Name is like Sort, but without an option to switch direction.
    If you press that button (or use the menu command in Finder) while holding down the Option (alt) key, you will get the sort options.  If you have an arrangement set, then the Sort option will sort within the groups. Some Arrangements have no sort option (like by Name) because it doesn't make any sense. If you just want to Sort, then set Arrangement to None and use the Sort option to sort.

  • Extremely strange open/save dialog behavior

    This is a complex thing to describe, but here goes:
    Under 10.4.x, in certain applications' open/save dialogs, files and folders for an Iomega FireWire Drive are often simply missing. For example: in the Users folder, I have two folders:
    "Scott" and "shared"
    In "Scott" I have the usual folders: Desktop, Documents, Library, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public, and Sites.
    If, in those certain applications' dialogs, I navigate to the Users folder, I only see "Scott". If I then navigate to "Scott", the only folder visible is Documents.
    All of the folders are perfectly visble in Finder.
    As best I can tell, this problem does not occur with the internal drive, or with a LaCie USB drive.
    But it's not so simple. In an open/save dialog,
    1) if I am in List view and navigate to the FireWire drive, switching to column view does not change anything.
    2) So long as I'm in the root directory, or viewing another drive, if I switch to Column view, I can navigate down to Users and all of the formerly missing directories are visible. This works even if I go to the problem diectories first in List (with the missing contents), go back up to root, switch to Column, then go back down.
    3) if I'm viewing the directories in Column view (i.e., they're all there), I can switch to List, and they're still there. But if I change directories AT ALL, they're gone again when I try to return.
    In other words, I have to be in Column view in order to see the directories, and I must be in Column view BEFORE navigating to those directories. I can then switch to List, but the directories malfunction if I change, moving either up or down in the path.
    Last bit of strangeness, and even more difficult to describe: If in List view and looking at the FireWire drive, I go back to my Computer directory (using Command-up arrow, for example), my FireWire drive is shown six times! That is:
    Iomega FW
    Iomega FW 1
    Iomega FW 2
    Iomega FW 3
    Iomega FW 4
    Iomega FW 5
    The first five have regular folder icons, while the last has what looks like a network icon, with the little alias arrow on it. If I click on a different drive and THEN go back to the Computer directory, it's fine again.
    Want weirder? Fine.
    1) I click on the FireWire drive icon in the sidebar, then on my computer icon (Powermac G5). The listing INSTANTLY switches to my internal drive (which is highlighted in the sidebar).
    2) if any other drive is highlighted, or I was switched to the internal drive as above, I can then click on the computer icon without any trouble.
    Lastly: as I said, this problem only occurs in certain applications. Here are some tests as to which do, and which do not, have the problem:
    Problem does not occur: Safari, Console, TextEdit, QuickTime Player, Preview
    Problem occurs: Word, DVD Player, iTunes, Firefox, FileBuddy
    Last bit: I tried unmounting the drive and switching it to a USB connection, but this changed nothing.
    Disk Utility, TechTool Pro 4, and DiskWarrior find no problems with the drive.
    Apologies if this sounds convoluted, but it is! Any thoughts?

    I am going to make some (perhaps twisted) logical leaps...
    In the days of SCSI, duplicate SCSI addresses would cause that behavior. The first twisted logic question is:
    Is this a factory FW device, or did you install the Iomega drive in a FW enclosure you purchased yourself, and, if the latter, what is the jumper setting on the Iomega device proper?
    I know there are sometimes issues with drive indexing/spotlight with certain files/folders. That problem causes some files to duplicate themselves multiple times.
    Does Iomega say anything about problems indexing their device? (with the second twisted logical leap of the directory cache is being duplicated)

  • Evil open/save dialog eats my CPU

    has anyone else experienced this?
    each time a open/save dialog pops up, my system slows down to a crawl for about 2~5 sec. i googled it without luck then decided to ignore it. now it's just unbearable.
    i have archlinux with x+gome installed on 2 systems(2*1.86GHz, 2*2.5GHz), and BOTH suffer from that same irritating problem. everything else works exceptionally fine.
    like many people, i ditched ubuntu because it was turning into another bloated vista. however, ubuntu did not have this problem. so i know it's not a hardware problem. i'm starting to suspect gnome since the problem persists no matter what program i run.
    can anyone help?

    just installed fluxbox, and the open/close dialog is FAST!
    in fact, everything is fast! i think i'm going to switch to fluxbox
    anyways, i started nautilus (the set wallpaper and desktop icons popped up), and then tested the open/close dialog again. it was still working fast.
    if nautilus isn't to blame, i don't what is...

  • Open/Save Dialog Box SLOW

    My Mac has slowed down to an absolute crawl. I have reinstalled the OS, run Disk Warrior, Disk Utility, removed my preferences folder to see if something in there was actin' up, I've repaired the permissions, etc... Yet in any application (whether it's Photoshop CS 2, Safari, TextEdit, doesn't matter), if I hit "open" from within that application... no exaggeration... it can take anywhere between 45 seconds to a little over a minute for the dialog box to finally appear!
    The last thing I want to do is nuke my machine. I am so tired of that being the solution whenever something can't be fixed.
    Has anyone run into this? Does anyone have any ideas what to do to fix this problem without nuking the machine?
    (this hasn't been a problem at all until, maybe 3 months ago or so... and I've been running Tiger since it was released)

    Holy cow. I am in complete shock.
    ...got up this morning, saw the suggestion 'bout the iDisk, figured I'd give it a try...
    That was it!!! I've had a .mac account for years, have had my iDisk on my desktop for as long as I can remember. I wonder if something from software update somehow made my machine and the iDisk go "screwy" 'cause it started getting excruciatingly bad just a few months ago.
    Thank you, thank you!! My machine has received a gigantic speed boost across the board, and the open/save dialog boxes now appear instantly when I call upon them, all my apps quit instantly now too. This is amazing! [breathes huge sigh of relief]
