Can't associate file types with DW 8

I'm trying to associate .asp files with DW 8, I've tried
using the usual windows dialogue but it ignores the fact I've
clicked the dreamweaver.exe file and tries to default to IE.
Dreamweaver 8 does not appear in the list of registered programs.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks
Nick

Can't you browse for the exe?

How can I associate file types with Dreamweaver so they open automatically?

I've just installed Dreamweaver CS4 under Windows XP
Professional but I've an issue with which files types are
associated with Dreamweaver.
When I first ran DW CS4 the application invited me to select
which type of files to associate with Dreamweaver: .css, .js,
.xslt, php, etc. I deselected a few as I was using another editor
for those at the time. However, I would now like to associate PHP
files with Dreamweaver CS4, so that when I double-click a PHP file
in Windows Explorer it opens in Dreamweaver CS4.
How can I do this?
Is there a way to run the initial dialog box again that
invited me to select which files to associate with Dreamweaver?
Thanks in advance
Gareth

Browse to any PHP file with Windows Explorer, right click
then select Open
With..., Choose Program and select DW CS4 (and tick the
"Always..." box to
make this the default file association)

Associate file type with application BUG.

Associate file type with other application causes FileVault to prompt that said app 'can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developper'
This happens when I try to associate TIFF's with Adobe Photoshop, or PDF's with Acrobat Pro.
It does this through "get info > open with:" and when you let the app itself change the association (IE Acrobat Pro prompted me if i always want to open pdf's with it, after that, when i double click the file fileVault gives me the same message.
It's just plain annoying to have do drag each file onto the right icon in the dock.

It looks like both approaches are similar and will both work.
Persistent Handlers are probably overkill. They will do what you need and more, but are a more complicated. I would recommend sticking with the two approaches discussed if you simply want to run your application with a default program.
Although some CVI users may have done this in the past, you may have more luck posting on the MSDN forums or a 3rd party programming forum.

Just installed CS6 but can't associate file type JPG with Photoshop.

I've just now installed Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4. File types PSD and TIFF work fine, but I'm completely unable to associate JPG, JPEG or any other variant with the Photoshop program such that I can double-click on the photo file and open Photoshop and the photo. I can associate JPG with either Bridge or Lightroom, or several other programs, but when I browse to Photoshop and select Photoshop.exe nothing happens, not even an error message. Does anyone have a clue what's going on here?
Operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate Edition, 32-bit. There is 4GB of memory in the machine, which is a Dell Vostro 1720 laptop.
Thanks,
Bill Sexauer

I know there is a problem with the file associations and that I need to fix them. What I don't know is how to do it. I successfully fixed the associations for file types PSD and TIFF, but I'm completely unable to do the same for type JPG. I did use Open With and that's where it just refused to allow me to change to Photoshop. It would allow me to change from the default Windows Photo Viewer to Bridge or to Lightroom, but not to Photoshop.
The problem was probably caused by my having installed CS6 prior to uninstalling CS4. Should I just reinstall CS6 right over the top of the existing CS6?

Can I set "open with" for files - associate file types with a 3rd party app

I have PDF file attachments inside my OmniFocus application. When I double-tap them, they get opened in the standard Apple PDF viewer. But I have a better 3rd-party app which opens PDFs and allows me to edit them (mark them up) - I'd like the attachments to open in this app instead of the normal PDF viewer. I don't want to have to switch to the 3rd party app to open it - it's important to me that I can place comments on many, many PDFs inside of OmniFocus. So:
1) is it possible to ask the iPad to have all PDFs to open in this 3rd party app?
2) if not, is it possible to name the attachments some other extension (e.g., .xyz) and tell it to open all .xyz files with the 3rd-party PDF viewer?
thanks in advance,
Mike

just out of curiosity: how did you see this without buying the app - is there some general way to get a trial from the App Store?
When You view the features of the app in the app store, there are pictures of some of the different screens under the main description of the app. I swiped through the pictures and the fourth photo shows a screen - An image in the black box pointing to the image name - roots.jpg. In the window to the right - it says -Action - at the top - in the grey border. I wouldn't have known that the arrow didn't give the same functionality as it does when you open the PDF in Mail. But I was able to see the trash can, the curved arrow and the blue done button on the right. I never heard of the app until we started to posting. Unless the app specifies that there is a free trial period, there is no way that I know to try an app for free.
The thing that I find odd is that you say the arrow is greyed out making that feature unavailable. That arrow icon on the iPad in Safari or Mail is what directs you to the options for - open in, print, email, etc features on the iPad. I assume that arrow must have some functionality somewhere in the app. Not sure why it is greyed out. But I stress, I know nothing about the features of the app or what it is designed to do.

Associate File Type With Application

I am asking this question because just within these forums, I have seen two different ways to do this, and am not sure what is the correct or best way to do this.
this CVI forum page
and this page which was linked from another forum page
I've done it with other programs by doing the following (second link):
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT]
Adding key for extenstion - .myext ; value = MYEXTAPP
Adding key for App - MYEXTAPP;
then adding a shell -> open -> command %destMYEXTAPP.exe %%1
and adding a DefaultIcon key under shell pointing to %destMYEXTAPP.exe, 0
This works, woohoo Although I am not sure if it save it another program came along or already existed for this extenstion. This is how the second link suggests it.
But the first link suggests a different way.
in addition, it seems the majority of the extensions in classes root and software use Persistent Handlers?! and am wondering how those work. I've read through some of the MSDN forums, and not sure if this would be overkill, and they seem to reference dll's as opposed to exe's
So just wondering if anyone has experience doing this with some insight. I think the goal would be to safely create an extension for my app and if there are duplicates, perhaps it just shows up in the openwith window.
Thanks

Associate a File Type with a JAR

How do I get XP to associate a file type with a JAR application? Since the extension on the application is JAR, I get a message from XP that I can't associate with it since it is not exe.

Look at the association for the JAR extension, you'll find that it uses javaw.exe and the "open" action is mapped to some command line involving javaw.exe and %1 which represents the jar file to be executed. Now, for your extension make a very similar setup, only your "open" command line will look something like this:
"C:\...\javaw.exe" -jar YourSpecialJar.jar "%1" %*
That command line runs your jar file and passes the file being "opened" to the command line as the first parameter. (I don't know what the %* does but it's in the command line for the jar extension.)

Associating file types with an executable

I would like to be able to associate a file type with my executable,
and have a specific file load into my executable when that file is
double clicked (similar to how Excel opens an xls file when that xls
file is double clicked). Is there any way to do this in labview? The
file is a TDMS file.
Thanks,
Rodrigo

You should be able to do this with the application->app.arguments property.
This property gives you the command line arguments (like in c the args[] on the main function).
This returns a string array, when you use an open with or drag a doc into your build (check the pass command line arguments under the advanced builds options page) this property will return a string array, the second element is the path to the doccument. In the beginning of your processor/display exe check if this is a valid file and execute the code as desigend. A state machine architecture is nice fvor this, add a stat called check command line and if this is valid jump into your processing state, otherwise run your program as expected. You can retrofit any processing application with this approach. As for locking the associations, you can usually do this by giving your docs a unique extension (dont use an existing extension like .txt, .exe, .vi ...) Click open with, browse for your application, after select always use this application.
This has worked for me in the past.

Possible to associate file extension with webstarted app?

A common property of microsoft apps is to associate file extensions with specifiec apps.
For example, when you double click on a .xl file, Excel is launched.
Can the same kind of thing be done for Webstarted apps? If so how?

I have an idea on how to do this, but I have not tried it.
1. On first launch, the application does an "install" before starting the main screen.
2. The install checks the OS, and writes a .sh or .bat file to disk. That batch file runs the command-line to start the application. Hmm, but how does it pass along $*?
3. The install associates the proper file extension with the .bat file, and/or with the unix file manager software, and/or with IE, Netscape, and Mozilla.
Then, when a user clicks on a link to a document, or a file in the windows explorer, then the JWS application should lanch and load the file(s).

How can I associate 2 appleids with one account or use a different Appleid for imessage as described in another post?

How can I associate 2 appleids with one account or use a different Appleid for imessage as described in another post?
I have rejoined the iPhone community, not with one iPhone but with two. My wife agreed to move from the unenlightened!
I have set up both under my apple account and want to keep it that way. But I do not want iMessages going to both phones. I would like separate message queues but share all apps and other purches from the store.
I have created a separate AppleID for her but under Settings>Message>Receive At (it currently says 2 addresses) > ... will not allow me to change the current eMail address and when I add hers (her appleid) it errors out. The only thing I can do in the Apple ID field is to manage my account and not change it to hers.
How can I have 2 iPhones (and my iPad) on the same account but have separate identies?
Thanks,

1. Yes. Restart with the Option key held down as needed.
2. No, it won't be a problem.

Can't change creator type with AppleScript

I'm trying to change the file type and creator type of some files using AppleScript. I've found many examples telling me how to do it. My problem is, that no matter what I try, the creator type does not change. Yes, I can change the file type, but using the same syntax for the creator type fails to make any change. There is no error; rather, the creator type simply remains what it was before.
I'm doing this on 10.6.8, but I also tried it on 10.8.4 and had the same issue.
Here's an example script:
After executing on a single file (for example), the alerts show that the file type has been changed, but the creator type HAS NOT, and remains what it was previously.

Hello
Firstly, I have posted wrong handler, which should have been:
on set_creator_code(f, c)
        string f : POSIX path of target file
        string c : 4-character creator code (or "" to set 0x00000000)
    do shell script "/usr/bin/perl <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " " & c's quoted form & "
die \"Usage: $0 <file> [<creator code>]\" unless @ARGV > 0;
my ($f, $c) = @ARGV;
(my $finfo = qx[xattr -p com.apple.FinderInfo \"$f\" 2>/dev/null]) =~ s/[[:space:]]//og;
$finfo = \"00\" x 32 unless $finfo;
my $cccc = unpack('H8', $c . \"\\0\\0\\0\\0\");
$finfo =~ s/ ^((?:..){4}) ((?:..){4}) /$1$cccc/ox;
qx[xattr -w -x com.apple.FinderInfo \"$finfo\" \"$f\"];
EOF"
end set_creator_code
* The previous (wrong) handler will create wrong data when there's no com.apple.FinderInfo attribute of the file. Sorry.
By the way, this handler is written to set creator code to \0\0\0\0 when c = "". So the script below will do what you want for a file.
set f to choose file
set_creator_code(f's POSIX path, "")
As for recursive processing, it is straightforward but the question is how to determine the target files. Processing every file under a given directory tree could be too broad and potentially dangerous. Can we assume the target files are all html and its name extension is .html or .htm? If so, the script below will do what you want:
set d to choose folder
set_creator_code_recursively(d's POSIX path, "(html|htm)", "")
on set_creator_code_recursively(d, e, c)
        string d : POSIX path of target directory
        string e : name extension pattern (case insensitive), e.g., (html|htm|css)
        string c : 4-character creator code (or "" to set 0x00000000)
    do shell script "/usr/bin/perl <<'EOF' - " & d's quoted form & " " & e's quoted form & " " & c's quoted form & "
die \"Usage: $0 <directory> <name extension pattern> [<creator code>]\" unless @ARGV > 1;
my ($dir, $ext, $code) = @ARGV;
local $/=\"\\0\";
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx[find -E \"$dir\" -type f -iregex '.*\\\\.$ext\\$' -print0];
for my $f (@ff) {
    (my $finfo = qx[xattr -p com.apple.FinderInfo \"$f\" 2>/dev/null]) =~ s/[[:space:]]//og;
    $finfo = \"00\" x 32 unless $finfo;
    my $cccc = unpack('H8', $code . \"\\0\\0\\0\\0\");
    $finfo =~ s/ ^((?:..){4}) ((?:..){4}) /$1$cccc/ox;
    qx[xattr -w -x com.apple.FinderInfo \"$finfo\" \"$f\"];
EOF"
end set_creator_code_recursively
Hope this may help,

I have a .mov file that is 59 gigs. Is there a converter that can reduce the file size with minor resolution loss so I can import it into final cut express?

I have a .mov file that is 59 gigs. Is there a converter that can reduce the file size with minor resolution loss so I can import it into final cut express?

Open the file in QuickTime Player. Then do Tools > Show Movie Inspector. What does it say for Format and FPS?
At 59GB, I suspect you have either a 4 hour DV video or a 1+ hour video that was converted to Apple Intermediate Codec. If it's either of those, you can import it directly into FCE provided you select the appropriate Easy Setup first. Your clips have to match the properties of the Easy Setup you are using.
If it's neither DV or AIC then you need to convert it to one of those codecs. (QuickTime/DV or QuickTime/AIC) Many people in this forum rely on MPEG Streamclip (it's free and works great).

Can you associate a note with a To Do in iCal?

I'm struggling to make sense of Apple's Notes and To Do functionality. I know I can create a note or a to do item in Mail, and the to do's will show up in a special calendar in iCal. I'm fine with that as it's a somewhat similar model as Outlook, with centralized viewing of everything.
BUT, I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to associate a note with a to do item or AT LEAST be able to add some free text details to a to do item.
Is there some way to do this that I haven't figure out yet? 'Cause honestly, to do items are useless without the ability to specify some detail.
dt

Todos have a "note" field where you can add any amount of free text. They also have a url field where you can add a link to a file.
Double-click a ToDo in iCal and you should see the field labels. Click and type in the note field, or drop a fille on the url field.

Associating a file type with TextEdit

Hi all!
Our program creates some dictionary files with a unique file extension, and I wondered if it is possible to associate these with TextEdit.app programmatically?
I tried updating the Info.plist (manually) in TextEdit.app to incorporate our file type, re-started, but it still says 'there is no default application specified' to open the document. Can anybody help me?
Kind regards

Thanks for your response. I looked into that one, the problem with it is that it is local to each user and it's a bit tricky, if impossible, to amend it correctly with defaults.
The link I posted above works a treat, and the relevant block of code can be added to TextEdit's plist file via a shell script with cat
