  • How to open a URL in the default browser via CC HTML Extension?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to open a link via the default browser in a HTML Extension for Photoshop CC built with Extension Builder 3.
    With the initial example the "/indext.html" it look like this:
    <li><button class="default" id="btn_PHXS" onClick="onClickButton('PHXS')" disabled="true">Run ps code</button></li>
    and I changed the code from "/ext.js" to:
    ...function onClickButton(ppid) {    var csInterface = new CSInterface();    csInterface.openURLInDefaultBrowser('http://www.adobe.com');}...
    This is what the "/lib/CSInterface-4.0.0.js" looks like:
    * Opens a page in the default system browser.
    * @param url   The URL of the page to open. Must use HTTP or HTTPS protocol.
    * @return One of these error codes:\n
    *      <ul>\n
    *          <li>NO_ERROR - 0</li>\n
    *          <li>ERR_UNKNOWN - 1</li>\n
    *          <li>ERR_INVALID_PARAMS - 2</li>\n
    *          <li>ERR_INVALID_URL - 201</li>\n
    *      </ul>\n
    CSInterface.prototype.openURLInDefaultBrowser = function(url)
        return cep.util.openURLInDefaultBrowser(url);
    Since "util" doesn't seem to be defined  I get the message:
    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'openURLInDefaultBrowser' of undefined
    Is the something missing?
    Thx,

    Hi Franklin,
    Apologies for the delay but I have been trying to determine why this API is not been working. I have since discovered that, although this API is documented in the JS library, the behaviour has yet to be implemented into Photoshop CC. Offline I will try to determine why this API was included in the library when it was not ready but for the meantime, if you would like to open a browser, here is a workaround:
    Instead of using:
    //(new CSInterface).openURLInDefaultBrowser("http://www.adobe.com")
    // Use the createProcess API to open a browser. The following shows a workflow in Windows to open Internet Explorer.  
    var csInterface = new CSInterface();
    var rootDir = "/";
    var isWindows = window.navigator.platform.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1;
    if (isWindows) {
                        rootDir = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.COMMON_FILES).substring(0, 3);
    var processPath = "/usr/bin/open";
      if (isWindows) {
        processPath = rootDir + "Windows/explorer.exe";
    var url = "http://www.adobe.com";
    window.cep.process.createProcess(processPath, url);
    Apologies for this inconvenience but we promise to keep you informed when openURLInDefaultBrowser API is fully supported.
    Kind regards,
    Lea

  • Someone help! i went to open a file and the "initializing" box froze

    ok. heres my deal. i recorded something w/ a friend one day and we opened the file and did whatever with it and it was fine. we would even come back later and open the file again and it still worked great. the next day however, i went to open the same file to record/edit more with it and it simply would not open. no error message or anything. the "initializing" box just sat there forever. is it corrupted? and if so how can i fix it?? pleeease help!

    <sigh> Wish I could tell you the "why", not being there myself it's impossible, and even if I were, it's hard to say if even then I'd know.
    The bigger "sigh" is that the last resort was to try opening the package and dropping the raw files into a new project, but if they're not there at all, then there really isn't anything to do, the files are gone B-(>
    The only advice I can offer at this point is some for the future: If you have a one of a kind take, never work with the original, and at that always make a copy and put it somewhere else (another computer, another hard drive, and/or a CD/DVD.
    Sorry I don't have better news, Kurtis --Hang %-(>

  • How can I use terminal to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0, How can I use terminal to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0

    In Lion, the default of pressing a link on a web page, is to open the page in a new tab. In itself, I do like this because this is what I did for 19 out of any 20 links, which I command+clicked in previous Safari versions.
    However, there is a snag to this behaviour. Most (all?) secure site do not like links to be opened in a new tab. For example, when I am doing Web banking, The the linked page doesn’t open in new tab. Rather I get a page telling me my login session is expired. Probably a security measure instituted by my bank.
    I since found out, that a command-click opens lings in the same window. Theoretically that solves the problem, if I would think about this all the time. I don't. Old habits die slowly.
    Is there a terminal command to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0.

    Hi Eric,
    I got it figured out today, basically you have to load the Parallel Flash Loader first into FPGA ram. It is a special .sof file (pfl_epXXXX.sof) based on your FPGA. Code is actually pretty straight forward, using the Sys Exec VI. Use the windows based programmer to generate the .cdf file that identifies your FPGA, attached Flash and .pof file .
    Syntax was odd going into Sys Exec. Note the extra "C" in in front of the "quartus_prm.exe" I have no idea why that was needed, but I was getting an error until I just happened to put it in there (Blind Luck :-))
    I used a 2 element array going into a four loop
    cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG -o P;pfl_epXXXX.sof
    cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG S_FPGA.cdf
    Defining the working director C:\altera\12.1sp1\qprogrammer\bin
    And added match string with "Successfully performed operation" on the output in the loop to make sure everything loaded correctly then adding the array to give me a overall P/F
    To anyone doing this same thing Altera's documentation is poor to say the least. It took most of a week to figure this out Not allowed to upload code, so anyone wanting details just post here and I will try to help. This was painful, with lots of lessons learned.
    Thanks for the interest though
    Best regards John

  • When extending my wifi network using an Extreme as my main and an Express to extend.. does it help to make sure that both devices are on the same channel or does it even make a difference if they are on different channels?

    when extending my wifi network using an Extreme as my main and an Express to extend.. does it help to make sure that both devices are on the same channel or does it even make a difference if they are on different channels?

    Have you even tried the process in which i have described in my previous post?
    Yes, many times.  If you are setup to "extend a wireless network, the screen looks like this:
    If you click the Wireless Options button, the screen looks like this:
    Where is it on this screen that you see a setting to adjust the channel?  It sounds like you are confusing "create a wireless network"....which does allow you to adjust channels.....with "exend a wireless network" which does not.
    Normally, when you extend a wireless network, AirPort Utility used to always assign the same channel to the extending device. That is no longer the case. It might be the same, or it might be different.  You have no control over this, so you have to accept what AirPort Utility thinks is best.

  • How to make Firefox the default browser for Hotmail

    I recently uninstalled Safari because I want to use Firefox as my default browser. Previously when I click the Mail button in Windows Live Messenger, the mac would automatically open my hotmail in Safari. Now that I have uninstalled it, when I click on the Mail button, it opens up with TextEdit. How do I make it open with Firefox?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    OK I'll post there also but I'm aware of the preferences section in Safari... thing is, when I choose to make Firefox the default browser, it resets back to Safari when I turn off the computer and turn it back on. Everytime. And it does my head in
    I heard of a program called More Internet that I heard could help slove the problem but I can't understand how to use it, nor is there any forum or any way to contact anyone who knows. It's driving me up the wall.
    So I'm hoping there's another way that someone in the world knows.

  • If Firefox is set as the default browser, and any application attempts to open a new window, this fails and I get the error "Firefox is already running..."

    Here is what I am running:
    Microsoft Windows 7, Service Pack 1, Fully updated to 4/10/2012
    Fresh Install of Firefox 11. No add-ons enabled as a result of troubleshooting.
    I am a user with administrator rights
    UAS is disabled.
    To begin, this has been going on Since Firefox 10 or so. A few months now.
    I am able to open Firefox. My add-ons worked (ABP, Flashblock, ABP Element Hiding Helper, IETAB2, Downthemall, Greasemonkey, 4chan extension) had no problems. Firefox is set and has been set for the last two years as my default web browser.
    However Since approximately Firefox 10 or so, maybe before that, If I have a Firefox session open, and any other application attempts to open a session in a new window, I get the Firefox is already running, but not responding error."
    I attempted to follow troubleshooting advice already posted (look for parent.lock files left behind [none present], multiple sessionstore.js files [none present], create a new user profile, attempted to clear out the "read-only" permission in windows 7, however as soon as it is cleared, the read only permission returns.)
    As a last resort, I deleted the Firefox folder, the %APPDATA%/Mozilla directory in its entirety, then utilized CCleaner to remove any and all references to Firefox in the windows registry, then did a full re-install, no extensions installed right now.
    I checked preferences and have the option "open new windows in a new tab" checked off. The problem persists regardless if this option is checked on or off. This problem persists in or out of safe mode, even with the brand new install.
    Test Cases:
    All cases:
    Firefox is selected as the default browser for windows 7
    Case 1: Open a firefox session. Utilize any other program that attempts to open a link to their website in a new browser window or new browser session. Experience "Firefox is already running" error
    Case 2: Open a firefox session. Right click on Firefox on the task bar. Select "open in new window". Experience "Firefox is already running" error
    Case 3: Open a firefox session. Select the Firefox Menu > New tab > New Window. A new window will actually open.
    This is the only method of opening a new window in the same browser session or profile that actually works on my system. Attempting to open a browser session from the task bar "open new window dialog" or opening a new window while a current window/session is running will not open firefox in a new window or a new tab in the current session. The "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" error will occur every time.

    Cor-el's suggestion resolved my problem. Apparently the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable was set to 1 on my system variables. I never made it, and really have no idea how it got there, but deleting this variable and restarting firefox has resolved the issue. Thanks Cor-el!
    Marking case: Solved
    Solution: Verify the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable is NOT set to 1. This can be achieved by simply deleting this variable.

  • How do I make Firefox the default browser in a non-administrative Windows XP account, where clicking to do so has no effect?

    I have two accounts for myself on my PC running Windows XP. In the administrative account, Firefox is already the default browser that opens when I double-click an HTML file, etc. Firefox knows it's the default browser there.
    In my other account, every time I start Firefox, it tells me it's not the default browser. Clicking there to make it the default, or in the options, does nothing.
    When I go to Set Program Access and Defaults in the administrative account, "Use my current Web browser" is selected. Mozilla Firefox is not listed as an option. In my non-administrative account, the Add or Remove Programs control panel can't be used. It says I don't have permission.

    To check that in the other account you would have to give it temporarily administrator permissions.

  • How do you make Firefox the default browser when the normal way doesnt work?

    Im trying completely from chrome after a friend showed my how much firefox has got its act together. However i cant for the life of me set it as the default browser. I have tried the "make firefox the default browser" button in firefox, which simply opens the windows default programs panel. Whenever i try to use the panel it simply sets the http protocol to nightly which isnt even installed!( http://puu.sh/2vJHM ) I think a possible fix would be to manually change the registry, but i wouldnt know where to start.

    Did you check the box on ''Options > Advanced > General >[X] "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup"?
    Have you restarted Firefox and if so, or when you do so, what does that section on the advanced Firefox options show?
    Have you tried restarting your system after setting the default browser using the second suggestion and, after restart, check the setting per the second suggestion to see if that setting is holding?
    Updating your Plugins would have no affect on the default browser question. It was something that you needed to do to avoid security issues online by using an out of date version of Java. Java is not involved in the default browser issue. That is why I separated it from the first part of the reply with a line and began with the word "Other".

  • How do I make Firefox the browser but not make it the default browser?

    I want to use Firefox as the browser on some sites but not all. I don't want to make either Firefox or Internet Explorer as a default browser but use each on certaion web sites such as Google or MSN.

    For your choice of default browser, think about the one you want to handle links in other programs, such as word processors, Adobe Reader, or an external email program. Windows will use your default browser to open those links.
    Then when you want to visit a site in a preferred browser, open that browser and use its bookmarks or favorites to get there.

  • Outlook keeps opening links in Internet Explorer, regardless of Firefox being the default browser

    I have Firefox 4.0.1 running on a Windows 7, 64-bit computer. I have Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 installed as well.
    I use Outlook here at work and have Outlook version 14.0.5128.5000 installed, which is part of Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010.
    I have tried to set Firefox as the default browser on the computer. When I go to Start->Default programs, Firefox is set to default. When I open Firefox and check in settings, it says it is currently the default browser. I have tried to set IE as the default, then switch back to Firefox etc. But still regardless of this, Outlook opens all links in emails in Internet Explorer.
    It is very annoying as IE is a lot slower than Firefox, especially when I already have Firefox runnint and Outlook needs to start a new session of IE every time I open a link.
    Does anyone know how I can force Outlook to open links in Firefox when Firefox is already the default browser on the computer but Outlook still opens links in IE?

    I have the same problem (roughly) - I have PDF hyperlinks in an Excel spreadsheet and, when clicked, instead of them opening directly in Acrobat (or via Firefox, my default browser), they open via IE. Regular HTML links in the Excel spreadsheet open in Firefox.
    I have enabled the '''Block PDF files' access to all web sites''' option under ''Trust Manager'' category in the Adobe Reader ''Preferences'' tab.
    I have also disabled the '''Adobe PDF Link Helper''' Extension in the ''Manage Add-ons'' tab in IE.
    Obviously, neither of these settings made any difference.

  • Flash Installer opens Internet Explorer instead of default browser

    Every time I have installed Flash or installed an update, the installer concludes by opening my Internet browser to display its "Thank you and enjoy Adobe Flash Player. Here is another product that might interest you..." advert. The trouble is that it always opens it in Internet Explorer rather than my default browser. I never, ever use Internet Explorer since I consider it a major security risk and indeed the only time I ever see it is when I update Flash....
    I've always wondered why the Flash Installer does this - every other program that opens a browser manages to open the default one, so how come Adobe's coders can't seem to manage it?

    It typically opens the default browser regardless of which browser you're actually using.  I'm wondering if there's a funky registry key or something that confuses things for your system.
    Either way, we usually launch the default system browse, which is not necessarily the browser you started the installation with.  This is a long-standing bad experience, and something that I complain to the team that makes the installer about on a regular basis.  Everyone involved recognizes that the behavior is less than ideal, but it's a fundamental design problem and it's not something that can be addressed with a simple fix.  It *is* very much on the radar as something that we want changed, and I'm pretty sure that it will get resolved in the installer over the long-term.
    In the meantime, if you would like to avoid the Flash Player upgrade process entirely, Google Chrome includes Flash Player as a built-in component.  There's nothing separate to download from Adobe, and all the updates are made available directly through Chrome's update mechanism.

  • Open HTML pages in the same Browser

    HI All,
    I have a GUI with Help buttons which are required to open Help files in the default browser.
    Now i am able to acheive this using Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start iexplore url")
    But the problem here is everytime the user clicks on the help buttons on various screens of the UI it opens a new browser instance where as i want all the help files to open in the same browser window.
    How do i acieve this?
    Also i tried using rundll32 url.dll, FileProtocolHandler url... the problem with this command is it doesnt recognize the querystring part of the url.
    For ex : http://forum.java.sun.com/post.jsp?forum=31&skldfsdkfj
    here the cmd only recognizes until http://forum.java.sun.com/post.jsp and the rest of the url is truncated when the browser opens. Do i need to escape "?" in my java application itself
    I escape & with ^& and this works..But how abt for "?"
    Anyone has any idea abt this....Pls help
    ADN

    all browsers ask you when you install them if you want that one to be the default one.
    So yes, start or run32dll.exe can be used to launch the default browser.
    No, you can't control which window to show it in, with the possible exception of Mozilla (or a derivitive (sp?)) might have some command-line options to do that. But you can't know that it's a Mozilla browser that will run with start or run32dll.exe.
    Your other choice would be: search the file system for browser, or just ask the user for the path to the browser's exe in a preferences dialog or something.

  • The default browser is set to 5.0. I want it to open 4.0.

    I just installed the Firefox 5.0 update. I currently have 3.6, 4.0 and 5.0 installed on my Mac Book Pro for development purposes. Many plug-ins I use for development don't work in 5.0 currently so I want to use 4.0 instead. How can I make my default browser 4.0?
    Currently, 5.0 keeps automatically opening when I click on a link from an external source/RSS reader.

    I am not a Mac user, but have multiple versions and profiles of Firefox. I note you ask about Macs, but have system details showing as Windows 7.
    I can only speak from a PC perspective, but no doubt you can sort it out yourself. It is down to the OS which browser is the default, although firefox has the option to check and reset that at startup.
    No doubt if I delved into the registry I could find how it sets the default browser, but in practical terms what I do is allow the OS to set itself up.
    # Choose any other alternative browser such as IE, make that the default, and allow that to take effect.
    #Then deselect IE as default browser checking.
    #Now start up the chosen version of Firefox, use Firefox's options to set that as default browser. (Options -> advanced -> general system defaults )
    It works, although some applications may choose IE regardless.
