Blank file info dialog box

Hi
I have photoshop 11.0.1 installed on windows 7 (Before I used to use Windows XP PRO SP3) and I noticed that clicking File--->File Info just shows me a blank dialog box instead of the actual dialog box in which I can input various file properties. How can I fix that?
P.S. Same happens inside the Bridge and I never experienced this issue when I was on XP. Everything is fine on windows 7 except that blank dialog box in both photoshop and the bridge which is weird.

I'm an already an admin because I'm the only user of my machine. I checked the folder "XMP" in the path C:\Users\My User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe and I found it to be containing only one folder called "Metadata Templates" which is empty.
I checked my old XP installation (which I still have an image backup file for it) and I navigated to:
c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Adobe\XMP and I found it also to be indentical to my Windows 7 i.e. It still contains only the folder "Metadata Templates" and nothing under it so what might be wrong?
Is there a doucumentation on how to transfer settings correctly of photoshop under XP to the correct locations under windows 7?

File Download Dialog Box

Hi,
I am creating a site using struts framework. In that one I code one "Download" hyperlink. Which should download Excel file to the client site.
For this I want the Windows File Download Dialog Box to pop up when the user presses the "Download"
hyperlink on the page. This is the dialog box which prompts the user to either open the file or save
the file.
However, instead of File download dialog box, IE opens the text document within itself.
From what I understand, if the Mime Type of the file I am trying to open is registered on the client
workstation, then this dialog box wont pop up as Windows would automatically get the registered Mime
Type from the registry and open the application. For this we need to add headers to http response (content-disposition). Where to add this header info. In JSP, Action classes?
Can somebody help.
Thanks

I am facing a similar problem...however in my case my application is on Tomcat server and when the user clicks the link, he/she sees junk data (excel sheet data) in plain html which makes no sense (with lot of special chars, just like opening any binary file in notepad)
while if i run the application in WSAD then the links work fine....is there any difference in both the servers in the way they treat file download?

CS4 File info dialog very slow to open and respond.

CS4 File info dialog very slow to open and respond. Every click or or key stroke takes more than 1 second to record. I have try multiple changes in the performance preferences and nothing has an affect. This is the only dialog box in the program that has the problem. The problem started when I uninstalled and reinstalled because of problems with the program freezing. I have changed every setting in the preferences performance section back and forth including 3 different amounts of memory usage (lo hi and recommended) restarting PS every time and nothing works. I would appreciate any help, keeping in mind that there have been no changes to the PC and it worked fine for a long time (approx 1/12 years) previous to the reinstall.

I've been having the same problem now for a few weeks and its killing me. Not sure what I can do, but in Photoshop and Bridge, the only programmes I use on a daily basis, it takes me forever to enter file information.

Font in File Info dialog

How do I change the font used in the PS CS4 "File Info" dialog? The type on my Vista 64 machine is unreadable. All of the menus and everything else are okay; it's just this one dialog box. It's hard to keyword images.
The same dialog box on my Windows XP laptop looks fine, and I don't know why my desktop is using a different (inferior) font.
Thanks!
Kevin

Not sure why my other reply didn't get posted, so I'll try again (my apologies if it's duplicated).
I don't have a host available to hotlink the screenshot so all can see. I sent the screen capture directly to Irina.
I DO have both Segoe UI (in four different weights) and Tahoma installed.
For anyone else who's interested, the font in my File Info dialog appears to be a decorative face, somewhat like Hypatia, that's barely readable at the small size used in the dialog box. Descenders on letters like "g" are cut off. Hyphens are barely visible.
And this appears to be the only dialog box in Photoshop CS4 where this typeface appears.
Thanks,
Kevin

No File Info dialog anymore ...

Since I have updated to Bridge 4.0.1 and then Bridge 4.0.2, the File Info dialog doesn't work anymore. It also doesn't work when trying to invoke it through Photoshop. A white clean window with a title bar showing the file name will pop up, and that's it. There is no way of getting rid of that empty window except killing Bridge (or Photoshop) through the task manager.
I tried resetting the Bridge preferences, to no avail. I re-did the set-up process for the Bridge 4.0.2 patch---no success either.
Is there anything I can try short of a complete uninstall and re-install of Photoshop CS5?

I just found this via Google since I have encountered the same problem here and it also occurs when invoking the dialog from InDesign oder any other application like Illustrator or so.
Actually you don't have to kill Photoshop to get rid of the useless blank area, you can instead hit ESC on your keyboard. Therefore the dialog isn't unresponsive but just doesn't reveal its contents.
I followed your instruction and uninstalled Photoshop but since I have a Master Collection this doesn't affect Bridge. I had to uninstall the complete Master Colletion to get Bridge removed but I didn't do this. I just threw the Bridge program folder into the trash bin (DON'T delete it irretrievably!), reinstalled Photoshop, tested the file info dialog (it already worked) and recovered the bridge folder. That solved the problem. So I'm not sure whether it's really necessary to uninstall Photoshop. I recommend all other users encountering the same problem to first renaming/moving the Bridge program folder, starting Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign, invoking the file info dialog (which actually also works when the Bridge folder is moved), closing the application and recovering the Bridge folder. If that doesn't work you can then go the long way by reinstalling Photoshop as I did (note that you don't have to reinstall the whole Collection).
Hope that helps other Adobe users.

File Open Dialog Box

Under my install of Vista Enterprise on an AD network, I'm am not getting the "computer" option to access local and network drives when I select "File/Open". All I get is the redirected "home" directory for that user. True for all Adobe applications (have the latest Creative Suite 4). Other Windows apps using Windows file/open dialog box can get to the network. Tech support said I should have an option to select the OS dialog box, but I do not see that on my install.

In Edit > Preferences > File Handling, uncheck "Enable Version Cue". This is where you will find it in CS4; earlier versions may have slight variations. In some versions, you may also get a checkbox in the file open dialog (down at the lower left, as I recall) that lets you select OS dialog or Adobe dialog. Also, in Bridge (again CS4), go to Edit > Preferences > Startup Scripts, and uncheck Adobe Version Cue CS4. (I have this unchecked, and even with Enable Version Cue checked in PS I don't get the Adobe dialog or the option to set it, so the setting in bridge seems to be the master.)

File Open Dialog Box Hiding Behind - Urgent

Hi All
We have write code for Opening File in File Open Dialog Box. But its stays in inactive mode behind SBO. Once we press ALT +TAB only then we can see it. How to Activate it or make it visible automatically in SAP Business One.
The Code for Opening File we have written is in C#
<b>OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "
objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (.xls)|.xls";
if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()!= DialogResult.Cancel)
string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
}</b>
Thanks in Advance
Asutosh

Common problem... Do the following instead.
System.Windows.Forms.Form form = new System.Windows.Forms.Form();
form.TopMost = true;
OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "\";
objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (*.xls)|*.xls";
if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog(form)!= DialogResult.Cancel)
string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
That should do it

File Open Dialog Box on Button Click

Hi
I am devloping some webpages using JSF and RichFaces..
I would like to appear File open Dialog box to choose single file and multiple files and another Folder chooser dialog box to choose the folder content..
Both the operation should be performed while choosing the Button Choose File and Choose Folder...
I have already tried Input type = file and aphace tomohawk..
But i all the components are coming with text box and browse button..
I dont need that. I need to open the dialog box once i clilck my choose file r folder button and it should work browser indepent.....

HTML doesn't provide you the possibility to select multiple files or select folders at a single browse. Thus JSF can't do any much for you. Best what you can do is to write a signed applet or web start application which does the task. The Mojarra Scales component library has a ready-to-use component which embeds an applet which does that task. Check [https://scales.dev.java.net/multiFileUpload.html].

File open dialog box broken in all apps! ( 10.5.6/7

Hi, I've got a very odd problem that Apple phone support seem to be unable to solve.
Basically, every file open dialog box system wide is broken, from file->open in textedit to the browse button on websites for uploading files.
When trying to display this finder panel, it beachballs for ten seconds then gives me a grey area where the usual finder browser usually resides and the open / cancel buttons at the bottom of the panel.
I've repaired permissions which had no effect.
The finder works perfectly other than it's little file open dialog which other applications use...
Updating to 10.5.7 did nothing to fix the issue.
Does anybody have any idea how to resolve this?
Thanks!
chris.

V.K. had you create another user to eliminate the possibility that it is a preference file causing the problem. It was reported the problem remained with another user, so the problem is system wide, not with a single user's preferences.
The Archive & Install is relatively painless. It only replaces the system and leaves everything else untouched. What is replaced is saved in a new folder it creates named Previous System, in case there is something there you might want to bring back (most often 3rd party files, but I have never needed anything from the Previous System folder).
The only hassle with the A & I is resetting preferences. If you check the option during the A & I to retain user settings, there is usually not very much that needs resetting.

File Info Dialog problem

Hi,
Not sure if this is a bug or if I'm just missing a setting someplace.
Problem: I write a lengthy caption in the "Description" window of the File Info dialog. Later on I want to use that same caption on a different image.
Using CS3 on Windows I can click on the flyout arrow next to the "Description" window and input the entire caption.
Using CS3 on Mac, the flyout will only input sections of the caption. It seems like the Mac version breaks the caption apart based on any punctuation that is in the caption.
Ex. If my caption is "01 July 2008, Los Angeles, California, USA - Paul has issues with Photoshop, causing a problem when captioning files."
Windows puts the entire caption in the field. Mac breaks it down like this:
01 July 2008
Los Angeles
California
USA
Paul has issues with Photoshop
causing a problem when captioning files
I don't recall this being an issue with PS7 or CS1. Am I missing something or is this just the way CS3 works?
Thanks in advance for any help!
-Paul

I narrowed down the issue even more. Non-English languages have their strings, tags, and texts stored in a file named strings.txt in a language-specific subdirectory in the Resources directory in the Adobe Bridge CS6 program folder. The strings.txt file includes, among many other things, a language-specific decimal separator character—which in English is a dot but in many non-English languages is a comma.
When I replace the comma as the decimal separator in the German-language strings.txt file by a dot then all of sudden the f-stops are displayed correctly in the thumbnail pane ... well, except that e. g. "f/2,8" now gets displayed as "f/2.8" which in German is wrong but acceptable—and definitely much better than "f/2,0" which is unacceptably wrong when the actual value is 2.8.
The idea to try this dawned on me when I noticed that in some places in the metadata pane, decimal numbers are displayed with a comma (respecting the decimal separator character given in strings.txt); in other places, they're displayed with a decimal point (ignoring strings.txt). Those using a dot are correct; those using a comma are wrong. So there's two bugs in Bridge rather than just one. First bug: In some places, the language-specific decimal separator character is ignored. Second bug: When it is not ignored then the number displayed will be wrong.
So my workaround now is to use a dot as the decimal separator character rather than a comma.

Problem With File Download Dialog Box

Hi all,
I have jsp page that allows a user to export oracle data to excel.
I have these code in my page:
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
response.setContentType ("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader ("Content Disposition",
"filename=\"historicalrate.xls\"");
I run the page and it popups a file download dialog box with Open and Save buttons.
When I click the Save button a Save As window opens with a hr.xsl file name and Microsoft Excel Workbook(*.xls) as save type. It is what I want.
The problem I have is when I click the Open button on the file download dialog box it displays data in excel format on a browser well. Then I click File > save as on browser's tool bar the Save As window pop up with no file name and a default Text(tab delimited)(*.txt).
I need the file name and Microsoft Excel Workbook(*.xls) as default save type.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please help
Thanks

File download dialog box problem!

Hi,
How do you force file download message box to use specified file name instead of JSP or servlet name.
I am using:
// code in attachment.jsp
<%
response.setContentType(mimeType.trim());
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\""+attachmentViewBean.getAttachmentName()+ "\"");
%>
With the above code, browser first pop up file download dialog box informing
'You are downloading the file:[attachment.jsp] from host. Would u like to open the file or save?'
I want the file name that I had specified in setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment;filename=resume.doc") to appear(i.e. resume.doc) in above dialog box and not the servlet name.
Any suggestions/tips on this?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Yogesh

For saving the document I have used -
res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename="+ FileName );
and it is working very fine, it saves the document with name specified in FileName
For opening the file in browser without any prompt-
res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline" );
For setting the content type -
try {
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("pdf")) contentType = "application/pdf";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("doc")) contentType = "application/msword";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("rtf")) contentType = "application/msword";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("gif")) contentType = "image/gif";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("jpg")) contentType = "image/jpeg";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("html")) contentType = "text/html";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("htm")) contentType = "text/html";
     if(contentType == null){
     contentType="text/plain";
     res.setContentType(contentType);
} catch (Exception e){
          out.println("Exception while setting content type");
          out.println("Exception : " + e);
          return;
Hope this helps

'Save Scanned File As' dialog box causing problems

A lot of our users just upgraded to Adobe Std 8 from Adobe Std 7. With Adobe Std 8, the 'Save Scanned File As' dialog box comes up even before the document gets scanned (this was not the case with Adobe Std 7). How do you get rid of the dialog box? This is causing us a lot of problems because our Adobe is integrated with a document management program called DM5. With Adobe Standard 8 our users cannot save directly to DM5.Because the
#Save Scanned File As# dialog box comes up first, now they have to tell Adobe to save it first somewhere other than DM, after the document
gets scanned they save the document again to DM then they go back and delete the document that they saved in the other location. Is there a registry setting or anything that I can set to get rid of the 'Save Scanned File As' box. If you hit CANCEL, the document does not get scanned so users really do not have a choice but to save the document twice. As I said earlier, this was not the case with Adobe Std 7.

Is there a registry setting or anything that I can set to get rid of the 'Save Scanned File As' box.
No.
