Change default behavior for opening external links

Is there a Robohelp setting I can change so that, by default, external links in WebHelp open in a new tab or browser?

Hi there
Unfortunately there never has been to my knowledge.
You may wish to make the suggestion so a future version can have it. (Link is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

How to Open External Links in a New Tab

I want links in web pages to open in the current tab so I have browser.link.open_newwindow=1. But how do I make links from extenal applications open in a new tab?

Try setting the following to 3, not really sure if preference was actually removed or just won't accept 2, the intent was that the two variables be the same (I think)
browser.link.open_external -- Where to open links sent to the browser from an external application
* 2 (default in SeaMonkey): Opens external links in a new window
* 3 (default in Firefox): Opens external links in a new tab in the most recent window
* 1 (or anything else): Opens external links in current window
Note: In Firefox 2 and above, via “Tools → Options → Tabs → New pages should be opened in:” (same as browser.link. open_newwindow)
Pref removed from Firefox 3.5

How do I change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook?

Hi I would like to know how to change the default settings for opening documents on my macbook. Everytime I try to open a doc. it automatically opens with Textedit, instead of Pages or another program.

Select any particular document you wish to fix. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the desired Default Application from the dropdown menu. Click on the Change All button to extend the change to all similar documents.
You can only assign one default application to one type of document.

How do I change the default app for opening a file;

If I right click on a file in finder, it tells me what the default app for opening the file is. it also gives me a short list of other apps.
I would like to change the defaults for several file types, and also delete one app from the short list and add a different one.
How do I do this?
thanks

You could try this:
- right-click (tap with 2 fingers on the apple trackpad) on a file you want to open in openoffice
- move the cursor over "open with". You should see the default app, then some suggestions, then app store, then at the end, "other...". Select "other..."
- find openoffice in your applications folder and select it (if it is dimmed, change "enable: " from "recommended applications" to "all applications", then you can select "openoffice")
- check "always open with"
- then, click "open". The file will open in openoffice and from now on, openoffice will be the default application to open the type of file you just opened. You should also see the icon of all files of the same type change to the openoffice file icon.
This is supposed to work, but that's not always the case, especially when the default app happens to be an Apple app. If you don't want to use that Apple app, delete it (or move it elsewhere if you want a backup). That can help.
Good luck!

Convergence - default behavior for deleting messages

How do you set the default behavior for deleting messages in Convergence to move to Trash instead of marking as deleted?

jessethompson wrote:
I deleted the nswmExtendedUserPrefs attribute completely on a test account. Then I logged in to Convergence with that account. I went to Options -> Mail -> General and confirmed that "Mark messages as deleted" is selected. I went back and checked the nswmExtendedUserPrefs, and they remain empty.It appears Convergence will not propagate nswmExtendedUserPrefs values if the system folders already exist. So if you log into Convergence for the first time (nswmExtendedUserPrefs unset) but you already have "INBOX" / "Trash" / "Sent" and "Drafts" folders created on the IMAP server (e.g. you had previously accessed the account using an IMAP client which had created the folders) the matching nswmExtendedUserPrefs: values won't get added.
Specifically, the default behavior of this option is the opposite of ME. Should I open a Sun call to file an RFE to have this default setting changed back to the way it was?I've created a bug for this behaviour as it is inconsistent with UWC/CE behaviour and can lead to confusing default behaviour:
bug #6862511 - "Convergence doesn't set defaults for nswmExtendedUserPrefs if system folders already exist"
Raise a support case to get this bug escalated.

How to change default thresholds for some metrics of all targets.

Hi!
We have a lot of servers which have to work hard.
So, our OEM very often generates messages like these:
"EM Alert: Critical:dbsora90.tsb.kz - CPU Utilization is 99.95%, crossed warning (80) or critical (95) threshold."
"EM Alert: Critical:dbsora94.tsb.kz - Disk Device c8t60A9800043346C384C344A4A63516D6Ad0(ssd4) is 99.7% busy."
"EM Alert: Critical:dbsora94.tsb.kz - CPU Load (Run Queue Length averaged over 5 minutes) is 20.78, crossed warning (10) or critical (20) threshold."
I need to change default tresholds for mentioned metrics but I can't their defenition in SYSMAN.MGMT_*-tables or suitable settings in OEM GUI.
And I have no time to edit treshholds manually for each target. )

Modification of Metric Thresholds (as this is what you are referring to), should be done using the Metrics and Policy Settings link (to be found in the Target Home page).
Don't mess around with the SYSMAN tables!
Best thing to do here is to start using Monitoring Templates for this.

Cant open external links and multiple instances of the same profile.

I have multiple firefox profiles.
I constantly have two profiles running at the same time.
I use microsoft outlook and see an external link, I click it wishing firefox to open it in the default or new browser. It does not and says "FIrefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
Firefox is running fine.
How can I open external links with a profile based setup?
Also, how can I open multiple instances of the same profile? I find that if I click and drag a tab to another monitor, it opens a new "instance" or browser window.

You say
''I have multiple firefox profiles. <br />
I constantly have two profiles running at the same time. ''
So you will have discovered ''-no-remote'' Note NOT to use that on the default browser; profile, only on secondary profiles.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use#Common_causes
You will NOT be able to open multiple instances of the same profile, clone the profile if necessary.
If you are trying to run multiple Webmail accounts in one profile then you may well find the webmail is identifying and setting the user account that is opened. Use a Private Browsing window to get round that and open a second account.

Choosing Default Program for Opening .doc files

Hi all,
A couple of days ago I somehow managed to change my default program for opening .doc files to Pages and I would rather use Microsoft Word as the default. I dont know how I ended up changing this default, but I would like to know how to put the default back to MS Word.
Thanks for any help!

Choose any one of the files you want to change. Then, command-i to "Get Info". Open the disclosure triangle under "Open With" choose "Microsoft Word" then click on "Change All".

Making Pages the default program for opening text documents

How do I make Pages the default program for opening text documents? Every time I open a text doc it launches in TextEdit. This must be an easy fix, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Select a text document > Menu > File > Info > Open With > Browse into your appliCations folder > iWork > Pages > OK > Change All…+

Mail default applications for opening attachments

I recently had to install Open Office in order to be able to open those kinds of documents produced by my colleagues. The only problem is that it now becomes the default application for opening .doc, .xls and .pps documents. I have changed this using command+i on each type and making sure I selected the "change all" so that each app opens under it's appropriate iWork program, but I still have a problem with Mail.
In Mail, if I get a .doc attachment, clicking on it automatically launches Open Office. Worse, when I right-click and choose "open with", Open Office is listed twice at the top of the list!
I loathe Open Office with a passion, not least because of this situation, but also because it frequently crashes and is still bound to using xterm. Nevertheless, I have to keep it as my colleagues are all on Ubuntu Linux and insist on using it for spreadsheets (to be honest, Open Office is okay on Linux).
If only iWork apps could open OpenOffice documents... ah well.
Any solutions would be most welcome!

Here's how you can set your preference for which application to use on a given file type:
1. select a file of that type
2. press CMD-I to bring up the file information
3. Click on the little triangle to expand the "Open With" section
4. Select the application you want to use for that type of file
5. Click on the "Change All" button
This has worked for me in the case where I have Parallels Desktop installed and it wants to use my Office 2000 installation under Parallels to open MS Word & Excel attachments. I changed these to be opened by NeoOffice, and it works both from the finder and when opening attachments in Mail.
I hope this helps...

Can I set default to always open a link in a new window, as opposed to a new tab?

Can I set a default to always open a link in a new window, rather than a new tab?

No, not to '''''always''''' open a link in a new window. Whether a link opens in the same window or a new window depends on the the page creator specifying ''new'' or ''blank'' for that link. ''Firefox can divert the new/blank window to a Tab instead, which is the default setting.''
If you don't want tabs when a new/blank window is specified, deselect the pref for ''' Open new windows in a new tab instead''' in Tools > '''Options > Tabs'''

On a mac computer, how do i set the default brower to open up links in emails to Safari, and not Mozilla

On a mac computer, how do i set the default brower to open up links in emails to Safari, and not Mozilla
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; GTB6.5; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Thanks for the suggestion.
A few weeks ago I downloaded some free software from the "tucows.com" website, it appears to have permanently hijacked my web browsers (both firefox and IE) so all searches go to their "searchqu" site, and new tabs open at that site. I was unable to repair this with the addins you suggested or by editing my user preferences files, and ended up having to reinstall firefox. Hopefully I won't run into the tucows rootkit ;)
But thanks anyway.

Default app for opening attachments

I have Appleworks 6.2.9 and the 30 day trial for office 2004. How the heck do I remove "word" as the default app for opening attachments and make Appleworks the default app!? I've read a whole lot of previous questions but can't get an answer. dlog

If you are referring to Word files received as an email attachment, save the attachment from the message to the Desktop or your preferred location of choice.
Select the Word file via the Finder and use Get Info for the file.
At Open With, select AppleWorks via the pop-up window.
Below "Use this application to open all documents like this", select Change All.
