Browse for save

In vista the browse for save window warns users if they pick a filename that is already in use.  Is the same true in xp, mac, and linux?  I want to make sure users do not inadvertently overwrite files, but I do not want to give them redundant warnings if the native window already warns them.

Is the same true in xp, mac, and linux?
  Yes, on xp, mac and linux you are warned when trying to overwrite an already existing file.

    Pop Up blocker exceptions are not saved in the browser for use, the next time the PC reboots. How do you save these exceptions for long term use?

    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
    *do not clear the Site Preferences
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-browsing-search-and-download-history
    Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
    If you have software like Advanced SystemCare (Surfing Protection feature) that might reset some files to older versions to protect these files against changes then check the settings or uninstall this software.

  • Set file filters in flex for save, not for browse

    How can i set file filters in flex for save, not for browse?
    Right now i am using filereferce class for saving purpose but i could
    not able to set filter. We can easily do it for browse.

    You can try to delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • When a link is a Document, Firefox doesn't show my word processor in the application choices. When I browse for Word, it won't let me check the box to always us Word.

    When a link is a file (not a web site) Firefox opens a dialog box that begins "You have chosen to open...: and defaults to Save File. When I click on the Open File.. radio button, my word processing program, Word does not appear. When I Browse for the application in the Program Files folder of my computer, I can select Word but the check box to "Do this automatically for this file type from now on." is 'grayed out'. When I click OK, Word loads with the downloaded document.
    This is a real pain the in tokus to do this EVERY time. I have checked the association in Windows XP and that file extension IS associated with the Word application. What gives?

    Try using a different graphics type for your logo. Some don't translate well to Word. I used to know which ones were compatible but that was long ago and the list may have changed.

  • Let Users Annotate A PDF In Browser And Save To Server?

    I started this discussion here.
    I have a bunch of PDF documents.  I want users to be able to make annotations in their browser, and save them back to my server.
    If I use Acrobat X Pro and click on "Send For Shared Review", then it behaves the way I want.  However, I don't want to have to manually open Acrobat every time for each file.
    Unfortunately, the Acrobat X SDK doesn't support this feature.
    I heard that there's another way to do this with FDF files and LiveCycle.  Is that right?  How do I do that?
    What I want is very simple.  I want to write a program that will:
    - Take a pdf file from my server.
    - Enable the users to make annotations in their browser, as if I used "Send For Shared Review"
    - Save the annotations back to my server.
    - Merge the annotations into a new PDF document.
    I can do this with Acrobat via the GUI.  I want to write a program that does if for me.  Can I do this with LiveCycle?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I know that having them both is not only unsupported, but has been a huge pain in the rump. However, This team needs Acrobat, and corporate policy as of yet hasn't been edited to allow the removal of Reader.
    While it's been a pain for other issues, The users have been running both for around 12 months now, and the save button has always worked. Suddenly yesterday afternoon (after it had been working in the morning) the save is grayed out. There must be some configuration issue that has caused this...
    I'm near the point of having acrobat uninstalled/reinstalled, and the reg entry we found to get them both working re-applied, but that's kind of a worst case option at the moment.

  • Safest/best browser for 10.5?

    As I'm considering moving from Leopard to SL (on my two mid-2007 model macminis), best still hesitating, I'm wondering, now Safari/Firefox/Chrome have ceased to continue supporting their browsers in Leopard, whether there are any alternatives that do continue supporting them (incl security updates etc) - maybe Camino?

    Yes, quite safe.

    Suggestions for ‘safe surfing’:
    1. In Safari Preferences/Security:
    Turn off Java (but not Javascript)
    Do not check the box 'Allow websites to ask for location information'
    Accept Cookies only from sites you visit
    Select 'None' for Database storage
    From the Safari menu, select 'Block pop-up windows'
    2. Do not allow Google to register your interests:

    4. Do not use a cell phone for any financial transactions. Such phones are simply to easy to lose.
    There is no such thing as total internet security, but what I have suggested above will go a long way towards invasive tracking. As regards other aspects of internet security, please read on:

  • Removing ads by browse to save

    Safari on my mac is littered with that Ads by Browse to Save crap. I purchased MacKeeper and that has not worked so how do I get rid of this?

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    Read the comment by SDW2001 in this thread.
    Remove "MacKeeper" as follows. First, back up all data.
    "MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
    Failure to remove MacKeeper will result from neglecting any one of these points:
    Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
    Don't empty the Trash after dragging the application to it. Let MacKeeper delete itself.
    Don't try to drag the MacKeeper icon in the Dock to the Trash.
    Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

  • "Browse for Folder" Issue

    Has anyone else had the problem where they cannot go to any subfolders in their "Browse for Folder" dialog box?
    I have all of my photos organized by year and then by month.
    I have made changes to various photos and want to save them. However, when I go to export my changes, I can only export to my "Main" folder. When I click on the plus (+) sign, nothing happens besides the plus (+) sign disappearing. Nothing locks up.
    For now, I am saving to my main folder and then manually moving them to the folder I want them in.
    Thanks,
    -Lou

    All I'm trying to do is find a folder to export my modified photo to.
    For example, I pull up photo DSN_5678. It was imported from My Pictures\2007\06-June folder. I make my changes to the image and now want to "save" the changes so I can have it available for other users on my network. (NOTE: Ignore the network comment since I use another program to backup my pictures to my network from my local hard drive. I keep all my pictures on my local hard drive and back up to a server for everyone else to see and use.)
    When I click on Export, the dialogue box comes up just as it should.
    I then click on the "Choose..." button in order to change the directory. When I go to "choose" the folder I want to save/export the image to, it doesn't allow me to select any other folders than the ones listed in the "Browse for Folder" dialogue box (My Computer, My Pictures, Shared Documents and a few others that I do not want my pictures saved to). Everytime I click on the plus (+) sign to expand the tree, nothing happens beside the plus (+) sign disappearing.
    Any suggestions?

  • How do you invoke the default browser for Unix/OSX

    Does anyone know how to programmatically display the contents of a URL in the default browser for a Unix system? I found a javaworld article on doing this using Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd). The article gives the cmd string for invoking the default browser in Windows, and for invoking the Netscape browser in Unix.
    This can easily be extended to invoke any known browser executable in a known path on a Unix system; but I'd like to invoke the default browser without knowing what or where it is. I'm specifically targetting Mac/OSX, but any Unix solution is worth trying.
    Is there a Unix command for launching the default browser to display the contents of a given URL? Or is there an alternative approach, rather than invoking Runtime.exec()?
    -Mark

    After extensive google searching, I came across a partial solution. This code detects the default browser on a Mac, and provides an elegant solution for trying standard browsers in turn for other Unix systems. I tested it on WIndows XP and Mac OSX 3.9, and it detected the default browser each time. A suped up version of this tool is available as a SourceForge project. You can find it here:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/browserlaunch2/
    Here's the simplified code:
    //  Bare Bones Browser Launch                          //
    //  Version 1.5                                        //
    //  December 10, 2005                                  //
    //  Supports: Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, Unix, Windows XP    //
    //  Example Usage:                                     //
    //     String url = "http://www.centerkey.com/";       //
    //     BareBonesBrowserLaunch.openURL(url);            //
    //  Public Domain Software -- Free to Use as You Like  //
    import java.lang.reflect.Method;
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
    public class BareBonesBrowserLaunch {
       private static final String errMsg = "Error attempting to launch web browser";
       public static void openURL(String url) {
          String osName = System.getProperty("os.name");
          try {
             if (osName.startsWith("Mac OS")) {
                Class fileMgr = Class.forName("com.apple.eio.FileManager");
                Method openURL = fileMgr.getDeclaredMethod("openURL",
                   new Class[] {String.class});
                openURL.invoke(null, new Object[] {url});
             else if (osName.startsWith("Windows"))
                Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + url);
             else { //assume Unix or Linux
                String[] browsers = {
                   "firefox", "opera", "konqueror", "epiphany", "mozilla", "netscape" };
                String browser = null;
                for (int count = 0; count < browsers.length && browser == null; count++)
                   if (Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
                         new String[] {"which", browsers[count]}).waitFor() == 0)
                      browser = browsers[count];
                if (browser == null)
                   throw new Exception("Could not find web browser");
                else
                   Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] {browser, url});
          catch (Exception e) {
             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, errMsg + ":\n" + e.getLocalizedMessage());

  • Since upgrading to Firefox 5, I can no longer browse for attachments in AOL Webmail, and every time I open Firefox, it asks me if Mozilla can make changes to my hard drive. I've gone back to Internet Explorer.

    I upgraded to the latest version of Mozilla Firefox and ever since then, every time I open Firefox it asks me if I want to allow Mozilla to make changes to my hard drive. I have to answer "Yes" or else it won't open Firefox. Then when I open my AOL Webmail and try to browse for an attachment, it freezes up the browser window and I have to open the Task Manager to close Firefox. I have now gone back to Internet Explorer which does not have either one of these problems.

    Maybe just corrupted Disk Utility preferences ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DiskUtility.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.DiskUtility.plist file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac then try creating a .dmg file.

  • Haven't been able to use Safari Browser for months, it keeps crashing seconds after I launch it

    I haven't been able to use my Safari Browser for months. Each time I launch it, it crashes.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
    When you post the log extract or the crash report, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

  • PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

    Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
    it always open in browser
    I have already made following changes but didn,t work
    Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
    Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
    Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
    Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
    Installed Adober eader in client machine
    Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
    It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

    It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

    To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you.  The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

    Is there a way to hide them so that my kids will never see them when looking for new apps?

    Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
    You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps.

  • Konqueror browser for Linux has an useful CPU limitation feature for websites using Flash content. Can you add such a feature in Firefox?

    I have recently found that Konqueror browser for Linux can help user to limit cpu usage while visiting a website using flash technology by changing settings in the Flash section and adjusting the slider from VERY HIGH settings to HIGH and MEDIUM and so on. It actually works, and it does not have a direct impact on the general performance for flash player but it may generate some conflicts if other extensions such as add-blocker or click-to-flash are enabled also.
    Maybe you can add a similar setting in Firefox in the browser option section or just as an useful addon or extension.

    Sorry for being late with my reply. I've just tested that addon that you mentioned in your post ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../system-monitor/ ) , it looks like a system monitor and nothing more than that.
    As for the memory tip ( about:memory ) I agree that it can be extremely useful for users that have less than 1 gb memory installed on their system. I know very little about computers but I can tell your tip for optimizing memory usage in firefox has merits.
    Me, I have another problem with cpu overload in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and most of the browsers with flash support enabled. Each and every time time I visit a page that features all sort of adds and gadgets based on flash technology, and each time I try to watch a video online my cpu goes all the way up to 100% and stays there until i finally decide to close the browser.
    I am running winxp and also linux on a Dell Optiplex GX260 machine with 2000 MHz cpu, 1024 Mib ram and 128 Mib video card, it is not the best computer in the world but still 2000 MHz should be enough for a limited and uneventful web experience.
    It is not as much an issue with the web browser, any browser, the whole problem is caused by funny people claiming to be deeply involved with web development, and promoting flash technology for ages instead of choosing other alternatives, more user friendly. All I am saying is that flash ruined the entire web experience making people to believe that they actually need dual-core cpu and coreduo and deepfreeze cpu and so on which is only partially true.
    I always get better results for cpu usage when watching online videos that use media player as default player and not flash player, and my cpu stays below 70% usage which is not much but still it is not 100% usage.
    Konqueror offered me a nice surprise, and I was able to limit cpu usage once I moved that slider from Very High setttings for flash player to Medium settings. I got something between 80-90% cpu usage as a result, and I was very pleased to finally see a working solution to my problem at least for linux if not for windows.
    The only other browser that I can use for windows only, which handles both flash player and cpu usage well is Kmeleon browser which is a long forgotten project but does offer nice features once you find some plugins that it needs to make it come to life again.
