Cannot see my files in dialog boxes 10.8.1

Sometimes I can't even see folders. All programs, including Finder. Fixed for a few minutes after restart. Anybody else? Is this a "feature" of Mountain Lion? This officially started happening after I upgraded. I haven't found anything in the forums addressing it, but I may be searching the wrong keywords.
I'm primarily using CS6. This problem is particularly irksome when I am trying to place graphics that I KNOW ARE THERE but nothing is showing up, so I have to go to the finder location and drag the file onto my document directly from there. After a while, files stop showing up in the Finder, too.
I've verified/repaired permissions (got a lot of "ACL found but not expected" showing up). I've unplugged for a while and then rebooted. Zapped the Pram. Any other ideas? Applecare ran out 2 weeks ago. Correlation?
Any help is appreciated

I'm on 10.8.2 since it was released, this problem continues.

How to get a file save dialog box on button click

Hi All,
I have some text and I want to write this text in to a file.Then I want to save this file to my local system using a file save dialog box so that I can choose the location where I want to save this file.Please tell me how can I do this in WebDynpro.
If I cannot get the File save Dialog Box then how can I give the path while creating the new file so that it is created on my local system as the application is running on server.
Regards
Rahul

Wpg_docload not producing a file save dialog box

Hi Everyone,
I have a BLOB column in a database table and I want to show a link on a web page so when user click on it, it pops up a file download dialog box giving the user option to either open or "save as".
I am using wpg_docload.download file but it seems to be load the blob data into the browser (inline)
Here is the code:
   -- get image size
    intimgsize := dbms_lob.getlength(page_b_contents);
    -- print the header
    owa_util.mime_header('Content-Type:application/vnd.ms-word;charset=utf-8', false);
    htp.p('Content-length: ' || intimgsize);
    htp.p('Content-Disposition:attachment filename="test.doc"');
    owa_util.http_header_close;
    -- download BLOB
    wpg_docload.download_file(page_b_contents);
Any thoughts what might be wrong?
Thanks

How must wpg_docload.download_file hack across the network, and into the client o/s process executable running the browser, and then force that browser process to pop up a dialog box to save contents as a file?
Do you understand the concept behind Mime types? The browser has specific actions (some configurable) for specific Mime types. PL/SQL can specify the Mime type. And provide a well formatted Mime header. It cannot however force the browser to act in a specific way when it receives that Mime stream from PL/SQL.
See Office 2007 File Format MIME Types for HTTP Content Streaming - VSOfficeDeveloper: Known Problems, Bugs, and Fixes - Si… for basic header details.

File Open Dialog Box

Under my install of Vista Enterprise on an AD network, I'm am not getting the "computer" option to access local and network drives when I select "File/Open". All I get is the redirected "home" directory for that user. True for all Adobe applications (have the latest Creative Suite 4). Other Windows apps using Windows file/open dialog box can get to the network. Tech support said I should have an option to select the OS dialog box, but I do not see that on my install.

In Edit > Preferences > File Handling, uncheck "Enable Version Cue". This is where you will find it in CS4; earlier versions may have slight variations. In some versions, you may also get a checkbox in the file open dialog (down at the lower left, as I recall) that lets you select OS dialog or Adobe dialog. Also, in Bridge (again CS4), go to Edit > Preferences > Startup Scripts, and uncheck Adobe Version Cue CS4. (I have this unchecked, and even with Enable Version Cue checked in PS I don't get the Adobe dialog or the option to set it, so the setting in bridge seems to be the master.)

File Open Dialog Box Hiding Behind - Urgent

Hi All
We have write code for Opening File in File Open Dialog Box. But its stays in inactive mode behind SBO. Once we press ALT +TAB only then we can see it. How to Activate it or make it visible automatically in SAP Business One.
The Code for Opening File we have written is in C#
<b>OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "
objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (.xls)|.xls";
if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()!= DialogResult.Cancel)
string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
}</b>
Thanks in Advance
Asutosh

Common problem... Do the following instead.
System.Windows.Forms.Form form = new System.Windows.Forms.Form();
form.TopMost = true;
OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "\";
objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (*.xls)|*.xls";
if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog(form)!= DialogResult.Cancel)
string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
That should do it

'Save Scanned File As' dialog box causing problems

A lot of our users just upgraded to Adobe Std 8 from Adobe Std 7. With Adobe Std 8, the 'Save Scanned File As' dialog box comes up even before the document gets scanned (this was not the case with Adobe Std 7). How do you get rid of the dialog box? This is causing us a lot of problems because our Adobe is integrated with a document management program called DM5. With Adobe Standard 8 our users cannot save directly to DM5.Because the
#Save Scanned File As# dialog box comes up first, now they have to tell Adobe to save it first somewhere other than DM, after the document
gets scanned they save the document again to DM then they go back and delete the document that they saved in the other location. Is there a registry setting or anything that I can set to get rid of the 'Save Scanned File As' box. If you hit CANCEL, the document does not get scanned so users really do not have a choice but to save the document twice. As I said earlier, this was not the case with Adobe Std 7.

Is there a registry setting or anything that I can set to get rid of the 'Save Scanned File As' box.
No.

The compilation within Studio works with a bit smaller (like 35MBytes) project, thus I think the problem is some sort of memory handling.
The problem comes up while it is trying to compie/load 'external resources': it still works with 512M or even 256M of heap before this operation.
Some weird thing is that I cannot set Xmx >640M, nor launcher.XXMaxPermSize > 1024M (winXP SP2, 2G RAM). While I'm sure that nothing is hacked around the memory allowance of Windows (i.e. how much memory does it allow for particular executables), I think this operation should be tested to work even on 256M heap...
On the other hand, the ANT compilation works well.
Well, almost well.
I have had some errors in my project, which ALBPM6.0 said to be OK, like defining a String array attribute 'not null' and setting no default value; or defining some object to be abstract and instantiating it.
However these errors are not always reported, e.g. during catalog compilation: XY must be explicitly instantiated before being used since it does not have a default initialization... thus made it static (however, it has been used as static all the time).
I had to hack CatalogPublisher a bit so that I can read them on stdout, and correct those syntax errors.
For this possibility, iterate over the non-empty foCheckerListener.getPresentationErr() in CatalogPublisher after checkXO().

Seeing multiple file download dialogs trying to download one file.

I'm seeing some strange behavior from an application that uses the Safari Webkit to download a file from within the app. When I click the 'download' button I get cascading file download dialog boxes. Sometimes it is only two and sometimes it is 15+. Has anyone ever heard of this before????? Could it potentially be related to Java script or the version of Java?
Thanks!

Yes I've been in contact with the developer and they aren't sure what the issue could be as it seems to be happening for only a few users. From what they can tell it is only on Leopard. They use an SDK that calls into the Safari webkit, so they thought it might have something to do with my Safari preferences.

File download dialog box events and work around

Hi all,
I have a amall problem.
when i set content type and header for downloading a file which is generated from the server i get a "file download dialog box" (open/save/cancel)
but the problem is i cannot capture the events i.e. if the client clicks 'cancel' since i cannot capture 'cancel' i cannot do some other modifications that need to be done when the file is not downloaded.
is there any way which i can track if the file is actully downloaded by the client or not??
Or is there any way i can just by pass this dialog box and get a "save as dialog box" which enables him to choose a location directly download to his hard drive.(In this case i ll get a javascript confirmation before actully creating the file)
i am using IE6SP1.
Thanks in advance for your support.

Just using JSP/HTML/Javascript code I don't think there is a way to do what you want. You might be able to do so using a Java Web Start application - like a download manager.

File selection dialog box freezes for a few seconds

When I try to open files / select files from within certain applications (e.g. Aperture, Photomatix) the file selection dialog box freezes for a few seconds which becomes irritating because I can't scroll to the actual file that I want very easily .)
(I notice the problem generally when I am working in photo editing applications. And yes, I do have some 25MB TIFFs in the target folder...)
I suppose this is because the finder is "loading" a preview of the files.
Does this happen to everyone (if so, it would be quite a Windows-like irritation untypical of OSX).
If not, then what could be going wrong here?

I have answered my own question by a bit more research.
It seems a lot of people having this trouble for a while. It is down to Logitech software. Specifically the Logitech Control Center.
See this forum (last entry):
http://bit.ly/eEomwp
The simple solution: uninstall Logitech Control Center. The mouse still works without it.

ID CS3 – cannot access "find" or "tab" dialog boxes. I've restarted, uploaded recent upgrade, and "repaired permissions" in Disk Utility. Will re-installing from original disks correct this problem? The disks are 3.0 version. I currently have 5.0.4 available at Adobe.

File Open Dialog Box on Button Click

Hi
I am devloping some webpages using JSF and RichFaces..
I would like to appear File open Dialog box to choose single file and multiple files and another Folder chooser dialog box to choose the folder content..
Both the operation should be performed while choosing the Button Choose File and Choose Folder...
I have already tried Input type = file and aphace tomohawk..
But i all the components are coming with text box and browse button..
I dont need that. I need to open the dialog box once i clilck my choose file r folder button and it should work browser indepent.....

HTML doesn't provide you the possibility to select multiple files or select folders at a single browse. Thus JSF can't do any much for you. Best what you can do is to write a signed applet or web start application which does the task. The Mojarra Scales component library has a ready-to-use component which embeds an applet which does that task. Check [https://scales.dev.java.net/multiFileUpload.html].

File open dialog box broken in all apps! ( 10.5.6/7

Hi, I've got a very odd problem that Apple phone support seem to be unable to solve.
Basically, every file open dialog box system wide is broken, from file->open in textedit to the browse button on websites for uploading files.
When trying to display this finder panel, it beachballs for ten seconds then gives me a grey area where the usual finder browser usually resides and the open / cancel buttons at the bottom of the panel.
I've repaired permissions which had no effect.
The finder works perfectly other than it's little file open dialog which other applications use...
Updating to 10.5.7 did nothing to fix the issue.
Does anybody have any idea how to resolve this?
Thanks!
chris.

V.K. had you create another user to eliminate the possibility that it is a preference file causing the problem. It was reported the problem remained with another user, so the problem is system wide, not with a single user's preferences.
The Archive & Install is relatively painless. It only replaces the system and leaves everything else untouched. What is replaced is saved in a new folder it creates named Previous System, in case there is something there you might want to bring back (most often 3rd party files, but I have never needed anything from the Previous System folder).
The only hassle with the A & I is resetting preferences. If you check the option during the A & I to retain user settings, there is usually not very much that needs resetting.
