Changing how download files are opened

Hi, is it possible to change how a file is opened from the downloads window?
I am specifically thinking of .doc files which open in text edit windows, and wld rather they opened in pages or adobe.
thanks all

Greetings,
You can't open .doc files in Adobe, since there is no such application. Adobe makes several applications, and if you're referring to Adobe Reader, it only opens PDF files because that is it's sole purpose. If you have Pages,
You can open .doc files in Pages if you choose; you will need to Get Info on the .doc file and change the "Open with:" application to Pages, then click the "Change All…" button to apply it to all.doc files.

Did Illustrator change how EPS files are dealt with between CS2 and CS3?

Here's an odd question for you. I have an EPS file that opens fine when I use Illustrator CS2. However, when I try to open the same file in Illustrator CS3, 4, and 5, the colors come in wrong. I don't mean color slightly off wrong, The colors are changed to something completely unrelated and scrambled. To make things more confusing, everytime the view changes, the color and patterns change as well. This makes me think that it is something with how Illustrator is interpreting the EPS file. If I try to open the file in Photoshop or Distiller, the file comes out looking normal. Any suggestions? Thanks for your input!
~Mike

I do Graphics/Production work for an archaeological firm. Before I started working here, they decided that of the different export options from our GIS department, EPS was the format that gave us the least problems and the highest quality. This was decided when we were using Illustrator 10. Now we're making the shift from CS2 and 3 to CS5 (getting our department on the same version), we are running into this problem with the EPS files and I am trying to find a solution to make all of our lives easier. One of the other options that we are kicking around is ditching the EPS file format all together and shifting to using a high quality PDF instead. Could this cause any loss of quality?

How do you tell which files are open in bridge cs5?

In adobe bridge for CS2, open files in Photoshop show an icon in the lower right corner of the bridge thumnail. This is really helpful in sorting if you have a lot of files open. I can't figure out how to tell in bridge CS5 which files are open in photoshop. Is there a menu option that controls this??

Thanks for the reply. This is a useful feature but not quite what I need.
I am sorting through 2000 wedding photos. I have maybe 10 versions of the same shot open at a time. I edit, save, and close 2-3 of them. In CS2, I would go back to bridge and I could see the 7 files still open. I could quickly highlight and delete them. I'm trying to find a way to do something similar in CS5 bridge. Right now, I take the ones I'm going to delete and stack them all. But when I go back to bridge to delete them, I have to look at file numbers to see which ones are in the stack that I want to delete. This really slows my work flow. Any suggestions? Can I delete them directly from Photoshop?

How do you find what files are open?

I have a disk utility that needs to unmount my secondary drive but it is unable to stating there are open files. I know there is a UNIX command that shows what files are open but I can't find the command. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
The command you are after is lsof. Read the manual to find out about the options (there are an awful lot, but most of them you won't need).

Word cannot complete the operation because too many files are open

Hello,
I'm working on a 60 pg. document, and when I hit 'save', I get this annoying msg.:
"word cannot complete the operation because too many files are open." I have no other files open, and I am unable to continue to work, because I cannot save - can anyone help? Thanks!

Hello Kristina,
Have you been able to save the file at all?
More than anything, it seems to be a bug when you're trying to save to a server. There's more on the problem here. So what you can also try is simply saving the file to your desktop, or somewhere on your Mac's hard drive. That way you're saving the file locally instead of to a server. If that works, you've at least saved the file and can continue on. Otherwise, read on.
If you can't do it from Word, then at least save your changes from another application. Open TextEdit. You should get a blank file on the desktop. Make sure it's set as a rich text file. You'll know just be looking at it. If you see a ruler and other buttons at the top of the TextEdit document window, it's rich text. If not, make it rich text by pressing CommandShiftT.
Copy and paste your entire Word text into the TextEdit window. Save the TextEdit document to the desktop. Now that you've at least gotten your work saved, you can try some other things.
If you're not trying to work on the file from, or save it to a remote server, then don't worry about the first workaround. It doesn't apply. Number two was poorly worded by John. He seems to assume everyone knows what RH is. I had to look it up. It means Remote Home folder. So open the Word preferences and click on FIle Locations. Highlight the first choice, Documents, and click on the Modify button. Choose any location you want on your Mac's hard drive. Click "Choose" and close the preferences. Can you now save the document to the folder you defined as the default save location?
Spotlight is that little magnifying glass in the upper right corner of your screen by the time/date. There are a few methods to disable Spotlight. What John is saying that if the Mac is spending a lot of time indexing your drives at the same time you're trying to save your Word document, the intense processing time to index may be keeping Word from saving.
If you've managed to at least save your file as a rich text TextEdit document, then shut all of your applications down and restart your Mac. Launch Word and open the TextEdit file. You may lose some formating if you've done tables or other things TextEdit can't save in Word's original form.

Harisarah,
You can change the default program for opening files with the following:
Set your default programs
Open Default Programs by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Default Programs.
Click Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
Click the file type or protocol that you want the program to act as the default for.
Click Change program.

and also I run the querys to check the rows increasing or not , (when I upload new doc rows are increased its fine also)
select count(*) from alldocs
Select count(*) from AllDocstreams
but when I delete some docs from document library ,
1)the doc itself deleted from document library
2)when I check the rbs storage there is no number of files are decreased(its still 39 files ), its same as before doc deleted from doc library
after some time I found the number of files are decreasing from RBS storage folder in sql server,
here I want to know the how the files are decreasing from RBS storage after some time, where shld I check the settings for this? and how I control on it
here how I know the settings for cleaning up orphan BLBOS how these deleted BLOB
adil

1. WHen you delete the file from Sharepoint, it is still present in Recycle bin. This is a default setting in sharepoint for 30 days. Once files are deleted fro Recycle bin, it can also be delete from RBS
2. There is a RBS cleanup job which deletes files from RBS. for more info check

All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default, as I am workin

I am using Adobe 8 Professional and working on Windows XP. I have been facing an issue lately with opening files in a dual-monitor environment. All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default. There are times when I work only in one monitor and when I open a PDF file and want to have a look at it, I have to connect another monitor to view that file, since this file is open in the secondary monitor. It is very disappointing with such instances happening with Adobe (a leading organization). Can you please help so that the Adobe Reader files open in the primary monitor by default?

On a Windows system disable the preview of Windows Explorer.

Changes to Excel files are not getting updated

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that changes to Excel files are not getting updated.
I recommend to configure Excel Services data refresh by using Secure Store and an external Office Data Connection (ODC) file.
For more information, you can refe to:
Configure Excel Services data refresh by using external data connections in SharePoint Server 2013
If you use PowerPivot, you can refer to:
Refreshing PowerPivot Data in SharePoint 2013
If you use Office Web Apps, you can use New-SPWOPISuppressionSetting -extension xlsx -action view to refresh data.
You can refer to:

How do I control how where tabs are opened?

Is there a way to control how new tabs are opened in Firefox? Currently, when I click on either the "New Tab" button or the "+" button, new tabs are opened to the far right of all my tabs. I'd like all new tabs to open to the right of my current tab, like how links open up in my current tab if I right click and select "Open Link in New Tab".
I know there is a browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent setting...but is there a browser.tabs.insertNewAfterCurrent setting?

Screen Goes Dark when No files Are Open

Hi,
Since I installed the CS 6, I seem to have a problem with my display going dark whenever Illustrator CS 6 doesn't have opened files, i.e., the application runs, no files are open, and my whole screen's brigthness goes down. It only happens with Illustrator CS 6. When I open a file, the screen goes back to normal. Has anyone had that problem?

Unfortunately attempts to take a screenshot to show you have resulted in the interface look as it if were at full brigthness so I can't show you (well unless I edit the screenshot after). But basically the whole screen brightness goes dark until I open a new file. And it only happens with Illustrator CS6. I still haven't been able to solve the issue and I can't find anything on the net about that.

Pleaswait while the downloaded files are being extracted-100% completed

With the trial dnload
of PS5 ext the message
"Please wait while the downloaded files are being extracted…100% completed"
was as far as things went. My Downloads File
shows no CS5 activity. Please help.

I'm (let's say over 50) and have worked with PCs for 30 years, and bigger computers for some years before that. No hassles here. But I'm a computer engineer.
It's kind of like that scene with the satellite phone in Jurassic Park II when they first get to the island... "You've gotta love it for it to work." "I'll love it when it works."

OWB 10g: how control files are generated?

We are using OWB 10g within a 10g Database. We want to know how control files are generated by OWB in the file system. The reason we need to know is because our DBAs do not want to create directory objects pointing to NAS devices, their policy states that all directory objects should be on SAN shares. We rather use NAS shares since it simplifies our batch (too long to explain here). OWB has the "CREATE ANY DIRECTORY" privilege granted. Is it using this privilege to create a directory object for the path we specify the control file in the mapping or is it writing directly to this path? We checked the directory objects created (SELECT * FROM DBA_DIRECTORIES) after deploying a control file and it didn't seem to have created any new ones. Anyone knows how OWB creates these control files?

Yes, indeed that's what we were after. We basically wanted to be sure we are not breaking an internal policy that says that "Oracle directory objects can not be located on NAS shares". The reasoning behind this policy is that NAS shares are not deemed highly available or high I/O devices hence our Oracle DBAs will not allow us to create any Oracle directory objects in NAS shares. The policy states that all database data should be stored in SAN shares which are directly attached to the servers and are therefore high I/O devices. It is arguable if the OWB data we want to load is really part of a database, we believe it is not. There are other implications in our environment about using NAS instead of SAN (NAS can run in active-active mode across different data centres, whereas SAN requires replication since it doesn't usually work well in an active-active mode across different data centres). So based on your answer we should be fine since OWB reads and writes directly to the files without using Oracle Directory Objects which supports our theory that these are not DB specific files and are only "OWB App" files which can then sit on a NAS without breaking the above stated policy.

Verify if Files are Open before Moving Folder in Network

I'm trying to create a script, either by Powershell or CMD to verify if any files are open in a particular network folder. If there is a file Open then "File is in Use by NameOfUser" else it will copy folder. If No errors, then
will delete old folder from previous location. Hate to Move files and if there is an error it causes to many issues. This way if it copies successfully then it will delete successfully.

Use robocopy and tell it to retry only once on a failed copy (/r:1). Robocopy can also move files (/mov).
This forum, however, is not a support forum for robocopy (other than providing general guidance like the above).
You can find the documentation for robocopy by doing a quick web search for "robocopy documentation".
