Bridge CC file association default not working

Greetings.
I've recently upgraded to CC from CS6. Uninstalled and removed CS6 files properly (why have them on C:/ taking up space?).
Ps, Ai, Id, all working properly (thank my lucky stars...), which are the three apps I use daily,... and Br, however, Bridge CC is acting up it seems. Screenshots for your pictorial review.
Double-clicking on a JPG, PNG, TIFF, GIF image file within Bridge CC will result in,
Right-clicking, selecting to "Open With", and selecting "Window Photo Viewer 6.1 (default)" will produce the same result.
With Ps, Ai, and Id, double-clicking a '.psd', '.ai', and '.indd' will open in their respective app. However, when selecting to "Open With", and selecting either 'Photoshop' or 'Illustrator' will result in an errors (even tho' each app shows as default):
I've checked the default settings for the respective file types involved, in Bridge CC preferences,
—PNG, GIF, and TIF files are also associated to 'Windows Photo Viewer 6.1' as show below for JPG—.
and Windows 7,
It would appear that the file types are properly associated yet Bridge CC does not read/apply these settings.
It proved useless to uninstalled/re-installed Bridge CC. Windows Photo Viewer works perfectly fine as default in Windows 7 browser.
I've read that a solution could be to uninstall all CC apps, run some kind of cleaning process and re-install apps. I find solutions rather odd; plus, it takes h-o-u-r-s to download/install each app.
I'm stumped, not to mention quite annoyed. Any thoughts?
Thank you!

Thank you for your reply Curt Y, but I didn't foul anything; I followed standard procedures which I have umpteen times—prompts from the install/uninstall app which usually take place all on their own.
I read post 20, to which you referred me, however, after reading it, it appears that you may have misunderstood my situation; I'll try again, for everyone's benefit as well.
In Bridge CC:
Ps files (.psd) defaults to Ps CC when double-clicked and open in the app—no problem.
Id and Ai files also open to their respective default app—no problem either.
HOWEVER, and most interestingly, if I should "Open With" and select either 'Photoshop' or 'Illustrator", to open a '.psd' or'.ai' file respectively, I would get the errors,
While this is an issue I can work around it is not my main concern. My MAIN problem is opening JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and TIF files (thus far) in the Windows Photo Viewer (WPV), whose operation apparently is associated to the 'PhotoViewer.dll' file inside the Windows Photo Viewer folder.
Outside of Bridge CC the WPV works perfectly.
It is entirely absurd that one should have to launch an app (Ps, for example) every time one wants to simply view an image in a larger scale/window, such as in WPV.
It is also possible that one would want to open any of the file types listed above in Ps, for example, but as of now the "Open With" as I've described is not working properly—this I could live with.
In the end, having made the changes to the Ps string as described in "post 20", nothing has changed from my initial post.
And where would one make the appropriate string corrections for Ai?
I STILL cannot open JPG,PNG,TIF, GIF, and BMP files in Windows Photo Viewer from Bridge CC.
Thanks again.

Windows program file association settings not working correctly

I recently found many application would not save to correct type. Some software icons would come out to a blank or white block, but those software actually there. For example, realrecorder is running, it would come out a white block on taskbar on bottom.
I tried use 'access and program default' in control panel, still not fix the issue. Ms word, and word pad also come out white blank icon.
Any suggestions ?

File type associations is not working in the App-V 4.6 SP3

Hello,
I found issue, that file type associations is not working in App-V 4.6 SP3. When I try to open associated file with double click I receive next window:
Translate: This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.
I have checked associations in App-V Console and in OSD file, everything looks like OK.
Maybe someone has some ideas?
Could you please share them with me?
Thank you in advance.

Is this only happening on one client machine? If so can you completely clear the application and re-stream\cache it again?
If that fails, you could try to create the FTA locally on the client

I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

Hyperlink to file in JSP not working

I have a JSP page where I am providing a hyperlink to a file on the C: drive as follows
Try this
Nothing happens when I click this hyperlink.
When I scroll over the hyperlink I see the correct path "file:///C:/ReqImport/data.txt" in the status bar and when paste this path in my address bar, it does open up the file.
Any ideas why this file hyperlink does not work on this JSP page.
Thanks

Hmm, you're right, I just tried it and it doesn't appear to work. It looks like a security thing: If the original page is on my hard drive, links to other files on my hard drive work. But when the original page is on a web server, links to files on my hard drive don't appear to work.
Do you realize that such a link is referring to a file on the C: drive of the client, the user, not the C: drive of the server? I'm not sure what you're up to, but for most applications such a link is pretty much useless, as you normally have no way of knowing what files the user has on his C: drive.

Check the path you've specified. It may well be;

File conversion is not working

File conversion is not working.

Using online services and it simply times out. I login and upload the file

File sharing is not working from pc to imac os x 10.9.2

file sharing is not working from pc to imac os x 10.9.2

Hello there Karen,
It sounds like you are having to power cycle your modem to get internet back every single day. We can start by troubleshooting your Airport Express to help isolate the issue. I would first perform a Soft Reset, then test the issue again. If needed as a last resort I would then perform a Hard Reset:
Soft reset
Connect the device to power and wait for it to complete its start up process. To learn more about the start up process, please see All about Wi-Fi base station Status Lights (LED).
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip for 1 full second, then release it. The light (LED) will begin flashing amber, indicating that the device is in soft reset mode.
From the AirPort menu bar item, choose the network created by the device (the network name does not change).
Open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station, then click Edit (The Edit window will indicate that the base station is in Soft Reset mode).
Move through the tabs to make changes to your passwords or other settings as needed, and click Update and Continue as required
Quit AirPort Utility.
Hard reset
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
Release the button and the device will reset.
Wait about a minute for the base station to finish restarting, then open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station from Other Wi-Fi Devices, then click Edit.
Select the Other Options button.
Select "Restore previous settings" and click Next until you get to the final window.
AirPort Utility will indicate that Setup is complete. Click Done.
Quit AirPort Utility.

File manager still not working w 10.7.3combo

Since installing lion (I started with 10.7.2) file manager is not working. Yes, I can force uit it and than it does but it is still very annoying and time consumin to do it 2-4 times a day. I was hoping that 10.7.3 will solv it. Than installed based on advice I received hee 10.7.3 compbo but the problem is still there.
Do you know or have you run accross a thread that explains how to solve it?
Advanced thats to anyone who can help
Ruvy

What is "file manager?" Is that a piece of third-party software, or are you referring to the Finder? If it's third-party software, you'll need to contact the developer for an update or fix. If the Finder is not working (how is it not working?), then you could try some of the tips in Understanding upgrade nightmares.

How do I change Bridge CC file association preferences from CS6?

I've changed Bridge CC file associations from CS6 manually to Photoshop CC. It remembers only for the open session then reverts back.

Does this thread help, expecially post #20? http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1330887?tstart=0

Bridge CS6 File Association Issues

Hello,
The problem I am having is this:
I am associating a new program, RAWDigger with the NEF file type. It works and it makes RAWDigger as the default. When I go back to the File Association, RAWDigger doesn't even show up in the list. To make CS6 to be the default again I simply click on it in the list and it becomes the default. But RAWDigger is not in the list and I can't select it. What should I do?
And also why does the list contain two instances of the same software when I have one instance of it installed?
Thanks for any help.
Farzad

I have now uninstalled CS5. Things have not changed.
Clarification: When I add RAWDigger as one of the applications associated with the NEF it becomes the default application that Bridge will open an NEF with upon double clicking. When I go back to the preferences and select CS6 as the default I oberve that RAWDigger is not even in the list of programs. And then when CS6 is selected as default, then RAWDigger is not in the list again.
Here are the five screen captures that explain what I am doing and what results I am getting:
This is the default in Bridge - File Type Association
This is how the default looks like in Bridge:
Adding RAWDigger to the list in Bridge:
RAWDigger is now default in Bridge:
Back to Bridge Preferences:
RAWDigger is the default but it is not among the list.
CS6 is selected to be default - no RAWDigger in the list:
Maybe it is a RAWDigger thing. I will experiment with other programs and report back.
Thanks.

File Associations Did Not Update and Cannot Be Changed To Photoshop CS6

Changing a file association is a simple matter you either do it in Windows Explorer in the properties or just use the edit in command in bridge.
Except that neither is working.
Photoshop CS6 is not even showing up as an option in either Explorer or in Bridge but it is ironically working in Lightroom.
So again before someone doesn't bother to read this: I know how to change file associations. I know the normal steps and it should be easy.
It is not working and it is a pain in the you know what.

Yes I've been through it pretty thoroughly.
It seems Photoshop failed to register itself when installed so now "maybe" if I redo all of the installations including Alien Skin, OnOne, DxO, etc it might work?
This is really irritatingly buggy.
It does not even show up as an option anywhere in Bridge presently that i can see.

Hi Hussein,
Yes, I am able to print seed concurrent report (o/p -text) to that printer (method:- giving the printer name and copies by clicking " Option " in SRS window.. )
When i do the same for xml publisher publisher report to the same printer , its not working using bursting control file.
I too made the test in xml publisher report without bursting control file , there i faced another new issue. Let me explain
1. We are using RDF as data source . here o/p :-" XML "
2. We are using RTF as layout. In template definition, i chose the default o/p type as :- "HTML"
3. When i submit the request, i choose the printer which is working fine for printing seeded report. (method:- giving the printer name and copies by clicking " Option " in SRS window.. )
4. My printer getting prints HTML tag, instead of desired o/p. I wondered after seeing the printout.
5. I cross checked by clicking view output, its showing me the exact html output as per RTF layout.
Dont know wat happening ??? Help me out.
i did the same for changing default output type in template definition to RTF,PDF.. its printing source code of the output type instead of printing output.
Thanks & Regards,
