Click a Link and open the save-as dialog box instead of browser opening it

Basically, i have a link to an image and when i click it the browser opens the image. I would prefer that when i click the link to the image that i get some sort of save functionality to occur.
I created a link to the Google logo so it looks like Google image when clicked the browser opens the image. What i would like to do is click the link and then have the save-as dialog pop up (or something similar). Currently I would either have to right click the opened image and save image as or right click the link and then save-as that way. In this instance the file doesn't reside on the database but an external source so is there a way to save-as dialog once the link is clicked?

Sorry, I have no idea what you are doing; can you give us some details?

When I try to open a PSD file, Photoshop opens the new file dialog box instead

This does not happen with all files, but I have a few that have become corrupted it seems. I have previously opened, edited and saved these files without any difficulty, but now they will not open.
This is what Photoshop shows when I try to open the files
For the affected files, it does not matter if I open my Library and click on the file, or click File>Open within Photoshop. The same thing happens.
If I click OK, then a blank file opens.
Any ideas on how to fix the file?

These file may be corrupt if Photoshop CS6 works otherwise. If you upload them to a file sharing server and post a link to them I will download them and see if I can open them in the versions of Photoshop I have installed on my machines.

On a MBP with Mavericks how do I get the Save As dialog box to open at the same size and place at which it was last closed and used to happen before Mavericks?

Before I upgraded my MBP to Mavericks, the Save As dialog box would reopen at the same size and position as it was when last closed. Now with Mavericks it always opens in the same position at a very small size. Is there a way to make it reopen at the last place and size at which it was closed?

I have resolved the issues presented without having to find and uninstall the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 in order to get "Adobe Flash Player 10" playback of .swf files on my computer. When I begin this task, I expected to download an "Adobe Flash Player 10" as a player program download instead of the Internet Explorer and Firefox plugin that it appears to be.
This is what I did and what I believe I have:
1. I setup Internet Explorer 6 as my default browser and then used the following site to download Adobe Flash Player 10
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
2. As I had done before (and also suggested in another thread here), I went to Tools/Manage Add Ons and found Shockwave Flash Object, highlighted it, and clicked on Update Active X. Next, what I did not do before, I restarted the computer immediately after that.
3. Next, I set Mozilla Firefox as my default browser and then used the above site to download Adobe Flash Player 10 again.
4. With Firefox, the critical step included Firefox Tools/Options/Content with File Types (Configure how Firefox handles certain types of files) and the Manage Tab there. SWF Shockware Flash Object/Change Action/and dotting "use this plugin" - Shockwave Flash, followed by a computer restart got the job done.
Now, if I want playback of a .swf file, I can
a. Open With Internet Explorer (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
b. Open With Mozilla Firefox (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
c. Open With Macromedia Flash Player 8.0
I am satisfied with those results for my use. Any additional comments on the player vs plugin aspect of the matter would be interesting and helpful.

How can I open the "Pane Properties Dialog Box", without right-clicking on the scrollbar of the pane?

To open the "Pane Properties Dialog Box" the LabVIEW Help suggest following:
"Right-click in the scrollbar of a pane and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display this dialog box."
The Problem is that I would like to switch off the scrollbars, which once done, means I can't right-click on the scrollbar anymore !
There must be a different way to get to this Menu, too ?!

Typically, you would hide the scrollbars only when running, and in this case there is no problem. I guess you should keep at least one of the scrollbars visible in edit mode.
Once both scrollbars are hidden, you can restore them using the "VI properties...windows appearance...customize" dialog.

All Office 2010 Applications Slow To Produce "OPEN" or "SAVE AS" Dialog Box ONLY When PC Connected To Network

Hello all,
Frustrating problem: ALL Office 2010 apps require a 45 second delay to produce an "open" or "save as" dialog box when the computer is connected to a LAN (wireless or wired, domain or workgroup). When the computer is NOT connected to a LAN (wireless or wired,
domain or workgroup), then Office 2010 "open" or "save as" dialog boxes open normally (and quickly).
I suspect a network search/survey function internal to MS Office is at fault.
This is NOT the infamous mapped network drive problem associated with Office 2007/2010. There are no mapped drives (nor have there ever been) on the PC, although there might exist a related solution. Additionally, there is no 45 second delay when opening
a file by double-clicking on the file itself which will launch the application.
Other information:
1. PC runs Windows 7 Pro 32 bit - PC is a relatively new Lenovo T400 laptop, all updates from Lenovo and MS installed, running clean and nicely otherwise, no spyware, no viruses, no previous software or hardware issues requiring assistance. Event log is
clean.
2. Absolutely fresh installation of Office 2010 Pro Plus (MS Action Pack)
3. Running Office apps in safe mode does not alter problem behavior (ie, "windword.exe /a" or use CTRL key and double-click to launch app)
4. Running Windows 7 in safe mode with networking and then subsequently testing Office apps is not possible: "license not able to validate" issue. This is a known problem and is not related to the slow dialog box response behavior.
5. A desktop PC with the same MS Office 2010 installation, same volume license key, on the same network does NOT produce this problem.
6. Full uninstall, reboot, and re-install of Office 2010 does not alleviate problem
7. Disabling ALL startup items and services (including, of course, ALL Lenovo management software) does not alleviate problem
8. SMB v2 bug is not the problem: ie, disabling mrxsmb20 service does not alleviate symptoms.
9. I have isolated "Client for Microsoft Networks", "QOS Packet Scheduler", "Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver" (and Responder), and "Printer and File Sharing for MS Networks" in the network adapter properties are NOT causing the issue.
10. Using Sysinternals Registry Monitor, I was able to determine that Office apps evaluate certain properties of your Internet Explorer settings before attempting to launch the "open" or "save as" dialog box. Altering the way intranets are detected, for
example, does not alleviate the symptoms.
11. Turning off Antivirus software (Avira Personal) does not alleviate the issue.
This issue is causing a huge loss of work efficiency. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Rick

Hello Rick,
Through all the research I have done so far and talking with a few other coworkers what the common issues that cause this are is:
1. Antivirus: disabling the antivirus is not good enough it needs to be totaly uninstalled and retested.
2. startup programs: these need to be disabled through either Safe mode with networking or the start menu or MSconfig.
3. Office addins: Disable all of them see if that helps. Then turn them back on one by one to see which addin is causing the issue.
To disable addins: 1. open up regedit and navigate to this key. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Addins and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins
Then change the LoadBehavior to 0 this will disable the addin. 3 lets it run. Since this affected only one user HKEY_LOCAL_USER might be your best bet but don't rule out the other location.
To verify there are no addins running go to the File tab>options>Add-Ins make sure nothing is listed under Active Application Add-ins.
I hope this helps
Thanks,

Move, delete, or rename files in Open or Save As Dialog box

I want to be able to rename, delete or move a file when I am in an Open or Save As dialog box. Sometimes when I am opening a file or saving a new file I spot an existing file that needs to be renamed, moved to a folder or even deleted. In Windows I would just take care of that file and then keep going with what I was doing in the first place. This doesn't seem to work in Mac OSX. I have to stop, go to a Finder window, go to the location, do what I want to do to the file and then go back to the Open or Save As dialog box. There's go to be a better way in the "world's most advanced operating system." Ideas?

no, there isn't.

Setting a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box

I know this is an unusual question, but I do a lot of file-naming at work with Adobe Standard and it would help me if I could set a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box -- say, by dragging it to the corner of the screen so that the next time Adobe opens, the 'Save As' box will open in that location (rather than in the center by default).
By this, I don't mean setting a location for one session, which it does automatically, but rather setting an initial location for when Acrobat starts up.
Any help would be appreciated.

Scott

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.

cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.

Urgent!!how to open the file download dialog box????

Hi all,
i'm using the browse button for the user to select the file
and a submit button, which when cliked should open the file
download dialog box asking for open or save.
i searched for so many forums and websites and didn't get the
solution yet.
i'm using jsp.
anyone have the jsp code for the same????
will b more helpful if u send it to me.
thanx in advance.

Hi
Use the Filedialog class.
Let your button call a method wich contains the following Java code:
FileDialog filedialog =
new FileDialog( Frame1.this, "Open a File", FileDialog.LOAD );
//witch calls this constructor: public FileDialog(Frame parent, String title, int mode)
//use Filedialog.SAVE to save a file.
filedialog.show();
String filename = filedialog.getFile();//to display the name of the file
String directoryname = filedialog.getDirectory();// to display the directory name

How come the "save as" dialog box keeps popping up whenever I try to use alt codes?

I type with diacritical marks regularly but recently, when I press and hold Fn + Alt + the numerical code, it brings up the "save as" dialog box. This seems to be a Firefox-specific issue because this doesn't happen on Microsoft Word + other programs. I am wondering how to disable this "save as" dialog box shortcut, or how to just get the alt codes to work.

Hm, this is the list of add-ons that are currently enabled on my browser:
 
Dictionnaire française moderne (it can't be this one because I just installed it today) 
Java Console 6.0.18 
Java Console 6.0.25 
Java Console 6.0.20 
Java Console 6.0.24 
pdfit (doesn't seem like it's this one either) 
Conclusion: might it be one of the Java Consoles?
Thanks!

How do I force Firefox (6v02) to stop showing thumbnails of existing file(s) in the save-as dialog box?

I save files associated with similar objects using similar names (just a different extension, or numeric sequence). The save-as dialog box shows a list of existing files. When I choose one, with the intention of changing the file extension or the numeric sequence (e.g., choose 'file001.jpg' in order to rename the new file to be saved 'file002.mpg') the thumbnail associated with the one I select is shown on the right. I neither want nor need this time-consuming & memory-consuming process to take place. I would like to be able to disable this feature in order to allow me to do what I want directly and faster (P3/866MHz/512MB).

Perhaps, but the problem is I don't really know what to look for. I've tried doing a keyword search of the AIprefs file to find where ICC profiles and compression could be located but I couldn't find anything. Does anyone know what they are called and what I should modify?

The Where in the save as dialog box

The Where in the save as dialog box is frustratingly limiting is there a way to change this so I can browse to the folder I want?

I recommend you get Default Folder. I've considered it a must have utility for my systems since OS9 Classic days. It greatly helps in navigation for the ever deficient file dialogs in OSX (and OS9).
