Can i set a default file name with path when using IOpenFileDialog?

At present, if i use
IDFile xmlDataFile("C:\\a.txt");
openFileDialog->DoDialog(&xmlDataFile, resultFiles, kFalse, &title);
It use "C:\" as its default folder, but the file name box is empty, what i want is to show "a.txt" as its default file name.
It looks like there is no such api to set a default in IOpenFileDialog.
Am i right?

Interactive Form Element 7.1: How can I set the default file name?

I am using Interactive Form Element with 7.1 to display a pdf. When one clicks the save button in Adobe's toolbar, the dialog defaults the file name to "F.pdf". Is there a way to default this to a different value?

Making customisation from the default profile is generally considered poor practice and quite often doesn't work out as planned. (If you're interested in some more information on this, [http://mockbox.net/windows-7/227-customise-windows-7-default-profile.html see here] see here)

Also, I missed another point.
In the folder c:\dbdata I have a number of CSV files on the user frontend. I would like the BSP application to get the list of files in the folder and process them one after the other. How can I get the list of files on the folder in the user PC and how to process them one after the other.
I want the form to display only the default folder and once I press on upload it must process all files and display the status of processing on the same page.
Please kindly share ideas how I can implement this app.
Thanks

File names get jumbled when using Add Folder to Library

I have a set of .mp3 files created by playing vinyl LPs into a software sound recorder. Each of these is named with a number as the first two characters of the file name (the track number) and then the name of the song.
I create the appropriate folder with the ArtistName and subfolder with the AlbumName in the Itunes directory and then copy the .mp3 files into the subfolder.
My problem occurs when I 'Add Folder to Library'. The .mp3 files don't change, but the names of the tracks listed in the Itunes library are goofed up. There is no strict pattern, but mainly it shows the 3rd track having the 2nd track's name, the 4th track has the 3rd track's name, etc. I have to go back and rename all the tracks to make the Itunes Library match the actual .mp3 files. (I can tell they are mis-assigned by the file sizes).
It might be a Windows-only thing, I'm not sure. Any idea how I can make the Itunes Library match its index to the actual files added when importing? Or is there some other technique I should use to import these .mp3 files?
It is possible it is related to the fact that that initially the internal data in the .mp3 files merely shows 'Freecorder' for the Album and Artist in every file.
Where can I report this as an 'official' bug to Apple?
Gregg Cattanach
Message was edited by: GreggCattanach

Actually, your suggestion was somewhat helpful. It wasn't the 'Freecorder' in the Artist and Album slots. But when I look at the properties of the files generated by Freecorder in Windows Explorer, it appears the internal file names are being mis-matched with the actual .mp3 file names, so it's Freecorder that's creating the problem.
Interesting. OK, It looks like it isn't an Itunes problem after all. But it's easy enough to edit the internal properties tags (Windows Explorer/ Right-Click / Properties / Summary) before I add the folder to Itunes.
Thanks.

How can I change the default number for a contact when using Siri

My husband has one mobile for work, one for home, both are in my favorites. When i'd ask Siri to dial his number, it would always ask me which one to use. Recently when calling him Siri asked if I would like to use his work number as the default and I mistakenly agreed. Now Siri never asks which number to dial and always dials the work number. How can I change that? I would like to make the default the home number.

Thanks all for your responses.
I tried to "order" Siri to change my husband's default number and whatever syntax I used for my request Siri responded with a web search on how to set favorites.
So I ended up deleting the work number from my husband's contact information and I used Siri to call him a couple of times. After 24 hours (random time frame) I added his work mobile back to his contact information, but not in the favorites.
SIri now dials his home number because it's the only one in the favorites.
I'll add it to the favorites in due course.

JFile chooser default file name setting

Could anybody pls tell me how I can set a default file name when JFile chooser Save dialog box appears so that the user doesn't need to name the file to be saved. And I also want to get the name of a file from current selected directory so that I can warn user for the replacement, The code I tried with is as follows
public void SaveAs()
                String FileName="";
          JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser();
          int r = jfc.showSaveDialog(this);
          if (r== JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
               FileName = jfc.getSelectedFile().getPath();
               FileName=FileName+".java";
               writeFile(FileName);
     }//End of SaveAs() Method
public void writeFile(String fn)
           String contetnt="THIS IS A FILE";
          try{
               FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(fn);
               fw.write(contetnt);
               fw.close();
          }catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe){}
           catch(IOException ioe){}
     }//End of writeFile(String fn) Method

Works fine for me.

Assign the name of a file and its extension when using DESTYPE=MAIL

Hello,
I've developed a report running Oracle Reports 10g that is being emailed to a user. I would like to specify the name of the file and it's extension that is attached. Are there variables or parameters in Oracle Reports that I can use to accomplish this?
It looks like by default that the file name is using the Name value found in the Property Inspector for the report. I have not been able to find a way to re-assign this value with a value from either the input or select values in the data model.
Will Oracle Reports 10g allow me to define the name of the file and the extension?
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

How to set selected file in FileChooser showSaveDialog to default file name

Hi,
How do I set selected file in JavaFX 2.0 FileChooser showSaveDialog, so I can prompt the user with a suggested default file name?
I am converting a Java Swing application I wrote a few years ago to JavaFX 2.0.
In the Swing application, I use setSelectedFile() as follows:
JFileChooser jFileChooser = new JFileChooser();
jFileChooser.setSelectedFile(new File(backupfile));
jFileChooser.setCurrentDirectory(new File(outputDirectory));
FileFilter filter = new FileNameExtensionFilter("Comma Delimited (*.csv)", "csv");
jFileChooser.addChoosableFileFilter(filter);
jFileChooser.setFileFilter(filter);
filter = new FileNameExtensionFilter("XML Document (*.xml)", "xml");
jFileChooser.addChoosableFileFilter(filter);
jFileChooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
jFileChooser.setDialogTitle("Export File");
int returnVal = jFileChooser.showDialog(jFrame, "Export");
This would show a file chooser with the file name text field pre-populated with a default backup file name.
I can't find an equivalent in JavaFX.
Also, in the Swing application, I was able to determine which extension filter was selected at run time using getFileFilter().getDescription() as follows:
String extension = jFileChooser.getFileFilter().getDescription();
if (extension.equals("XML Document (*.xml)")) { ...
I can't find an equivalent in JavaFX.
Thanks,
Barry

You can use the open sequence file method on the application manager (then you only need to wire the file path)

Make sure that '''''Print to File''''' isn't selected in the native print dialog box ''(see screenshot below)'' middle-right, and make sure your Printer is selected at the top of that dialog box.
