Configure File Type Associations dosen't work for users

Hi EB,
Does anyones knows how to set the File Type Associations for users ? It works for me when i'm logged in as Admin but not as a user. When logged as user it always ask to configure the file associations when i open JDev and even with JDev open it does not set it. I tried to find an article about that but couldn't find any.
I'm using :
winXP SP3
JDeveloper 11g TP4
and i've sets all rights for autentified users on the folders and subfolders of JDeveloper.
Thanks

I tried going on tool>preferences>File Type .... and associate projets and source and applications files with JDev check marking "open with JDev"... it didn't worked as user... it's just not saving my settings while reopening it it's never saved... at least i've been able to associate it in my Admin account then i can go back in user account and select open file with in windows, choose JDev and check mark "always open that file with that program" only after that the association is saved in JDev... but still it open the Configuration file windows at startup with the ones i already opened with JDev checked... anyway that's not a big issue ... only that i can't save those settings by the JDev environement while logged in as a user...

11g ER: Checkbox "Don't ask me again" for Configure File Type Associations

Hi JDev team
On opening JDev 11g the Configure File Type Associations dialog opens each time, allowing me to associate JDev with 4 different file types. I don't want to associate the file types with JDev, I haven't found an option to turn this off and it's starting to get annoying. Can you raise an ER to include a check box to ask "Don't ask me again" please?
Cheers,
CM.

Ok I've done some digging and I think I've tracked down the issue - I'm guessing that you're running on Vista? This all has to do with the need to have elevated permissions to write to the registry on Vista.
What I suggest you do is manually run JDeveloper as an administrator, having first deleted the Jdeveloper.jprFile, Jdeveloper.jpwFile, Jdeveloper.jspFile, and
Jdeveloper.javaFile entries in the registry. Once you've run JDeveloper in this way you'll ok the dialog. Then on subsequent runs you should be able to run JDeveloper as a normal user without being troubled by the question.
Normally we automatically handle the permission elevation on the first run, but I'm guessing that because you've had previous pre-production builds of JDveloper on your machine that's prevented that from occurring.
Phew, this makes Unix permissions seem simple...

Configure File Type Associations

I just moved from Windows XP Professional 32 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and installed several versions of JDeveloper (10.1.3.5, 11.1.1.5, 11.1.2.1) on the new machine.
All of them are popping up the "Configure File Type Associations" window every time I start JDeveloper, no matter what my answer to the prompt. After I press OK or Cancel, all my versions of JDeveloper are working fine. But the pop up is getting annoying. On my Windows XP machine, this only popped up the first time I ran JDeveloper, and never again. Anybody know how I can stop it?

Not quite, csoto, but you inspired me to try something that seems to have done the trick. You were right, it is a Windows 7 issue.
I started one of my copies of JDeveloper with "Run as Administrator", pressed OK on the prompt. Then I closed JDeveloper and started it again as myself. Now none of my versions of JDeveloper are showing the prompt. Annoyance gone.
What I think is happening is that the "Configure File Type Associations" dialog needs to change something in the Windows registry. Windows 7 security requires you to have administrative rights to do this, so when you run JDeveloper without those rights, it can't make the change. But (and I think this should be considered a bug) it doesn't show an error to tell you that it didn't have the right to do it. It just closes the dialog window. The next time JDeveloper runs, it notices that you haven't set file associations yet, so it shows the dialog again. Running JDeveloper - any version - as Administrator lets it change the file associations (which apparently applies to all versions) so that it never displays the prompt again.

File type associations is not working in the App-V 4.6 SP3

Hello,
I found issue, that file type associations is not working in App-V 4.6 SP3. When I try to open associated file with double click I receive next window:
Translate: This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.
I have checked associations in App-V Console and in OSD file, everything looks like OK.
Maybe someone has some ideas?
Could you please share them with me?
Thank you in advance.

Is this only happening on one client machine? If so can you completely clear the application and re-stream\cache it again?
If that fails, you could try to create the FTA locally on the client

Configure file type association

Every time I start up sql developer, it asks to configure file type association.
I've selected all and gone ok, but it keeps asking, I've tried many conbinations, ie unticked them, still it asks.
I'm running latest version under xp sp2 with up to date patches and hotfixes.
Is there a file I can manually configure or what ??

All the configuration option for file associations are under Preferences > File Associations.
I am running the same windows version and service pack and have SQL Developer as my default editor for SQL scripts and haven't had any problems. Verify the check box at the very bottom with text that reads "Open with SQL Developer", have it checked.

Configure File Type Associations at startup everytime

Whenever I startup SQL Developer (1.5), the Configure File Type Associations opens up. No matter what I do, that window always displays when I first start SQL Developer.
My guess is that the information that this window is trying to save is being written somewhere that I don't have access to. I'm running on a machine that is locked down with very little permissions (I can't install any software). Obviously this information is not stored where the other settings are stored (\Documents and Settings\<your_user>\Application Data\SQL Developer) because I have full permisions to this folder.
Anyone else experiencing this behavior?
Thanks,
Rich

Hello everyone. I'm new to this site and I'm looking to find out where the "Configure File Type Associations" are stored in SQL Developer 1.5.1.54.40. I am running SQL Developer as a published application via CItrix, so my user community is locked down from many things, however, as full access to their profiles. Are these file associations stored in the registry? If so, does anyone know which key(s) store these settings? My users are very annoyed that they have to re-select their file associations every time they run SQL Dev from the pub app server. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Set file type associations in Adobe Bridge for Photoshop CS6

Is there a way I can edit the registry so that in Adobe Bridge, under edit, preferences, file type associations, the jpg extension is forced to use the 32-bit version of Photoshop? I can do it manually, but is there a registry key i can export to apply it to multiple computers?

Yes, in theory, but it is generally not recommended. But that location would depend on what OS you are on. This video give the locations for the Photoshop files, Bridge would just be in a neighboring folder: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-reset-photoshop- cs6s-preferences-file/

How can i disable dialog box asking to restore file type associations to quicktime for all profiles windows 7

Running a lab environment and need to be able to stop the QuickTime Player dialog that asks to restore file type associations to QuickTime. QuickTime associations are working fine but this dialog comes up on on every user profile. Need to stop the box from coming up at all

Clydecat, interesting I see the image you posted. QT 7 should have a File Types tab on the top, not on the bottom as the image shows. Don't know why it is showing up like that. My guess is a component of QT was removed or administrative permissions are in deny for QuickTime preferences?
C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\QuickTime\QuickTime qtp
QuickTime qtp is the QuickTime preference file. If that is of any help? You used to be able to delete QuickTime qtp if it was corrupted and a new one would be created on re-start. But that was with QT 6. So not sure if it currently works with QT 7, haven't tryed it with QT 7 myself

File Type Associations for JDev 10.1.2

Every time I start JDeveloper, I get the file type association dialog and the welcome screen. It would seem that wherever JDeveloper is trying to store the associations, it is unsuccessful - yet I receive no errors or indication of what the problem might be. Any idea where this info is supposed to get saved?
JDeveloper 10.1.2 1811
Windows 2000
jdk 1.4.2_04

I think it gets stored into the registry of windows.
Do you have administrator privileges on the machine you are using?

Since changing our computer I have been unable to download ebooks to my Reader Library I get a message Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library; Waterstones suggest that I may have accidentally created a new Adobe

When I try to download them from the Waterstones website I get a message saying:
‘Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library. Do you want to associate them now? When I reply yes I get another message; ‘Configuration error unable to update EPUB files check network firewall and try again’.
The ‘books’ are saved in the Download directory and I can’t transfer them from there to my E-Reader. I have not had any problems before, it was very simple; I saved the download and it automatically went into the Reader Library.
I contacted HP and they said it is a software error and suggested I contact Waterstones. I contacted Waterstones Customer Support and got the following response:
As the error message is specifically mentioning the firewall it does sound like something in the firewall settings is stopping the download from taking place correctly. However, the files should not be being saved to the Download folder. It would be worth trying again by going to your Digital Order History on your Waterstones.com account and pressing the download button, and then making sure to press "Open" not "Save". When you press Open rather than Save it should give the option to open the file with Adobe Digital Editions. If the firewall message still comes up then I'm afraid something is blocking it on your end.
If the above "Open" download method works but you then still get an error message it could possibly be that you have accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up on the new computer, rather than signing in with your old Adobe ID. It would be worth trying the aforementioned download technique again first, but if problems did still persist it would be worth calling Adobe themselves on 0207 365 0735, as they should be able to sort out any account issue.
In response to the first para of Waterstones email I already do what they suggest I do press ‘Open’ not ‘Save’ but I don’t get the open with Adobe Digital Editions (we have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer. Waterstones say we may have ‘accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up the new computer’ does that mean that we shouldn’t have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer as it would have already been there? How do I sign in with my old Adobe ID?

Hi all after attampting to get some supoport from adobe by phone.... nice people infurating policys as far as support for digital editions or DRM is conserned... However I got no where with support.
I ended up instaling Digital editions on my desktop PC and going through the motions of registering and borrowing a book then returning it. Then I trying on my iPad, Bluefire worked, Over drive did not so I completely removed Overdrive and reinstalled and re registered. all working now.
Maybe some one at adobe did something. Maybe the install of the adobe DE client on a PC corrected what ever was out of wack with my account. Mayby the server that my account lives on did a scan disk and corrected a bad clustrer.
What ever happend My account is actiove and working again. hope this helps others.

Old icons remain after changing file type association

I have several video file types in my Movies folder: MPG, MP4, AVI, and MKV. Many of the file types are automatically associated with Quicktime Player, (despite it being unable to process them, such as the AVIs). Being unable to play my MKVs at all, I downloaded VLC player to supplement. I have since grown to like the additional features of VLC, and would like to use it as my player of choice for all movie files.
Changing the file type associations was simple enough, (Get Info -> Open With, Set as default for each file type), however the pre-associated files still retain their original QT icon.
How do I go about batch changing the incorrect QT-associated finder icons for icons that correctly represent their new association with VLC?
Thanks for reading

I was having that same trouble, but with ".rar" archives (in my case - OS X Yosemite), I tried all ways to solve it, following all kind of tips, like: choosing a new program as default to open the file, app cleaners, terminal commands, disk utility, etc.. but nothing worked. When finally I got problem solved, how I did it: 1) Download the program: Cocktail (http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/), after downloading, I got the message to register it, I simply clicked on "Remind me later". 2) Now, after installing it, configure Cocktail with this short tutorial, exactly as described (http://www.everythingmacintosh.com/tech-notes/maintain-your-mac-with-mac-os-x-co cktail/). After following 2 steps, Cocktail will be configured and will run, in the end your Mac will restart, you can now check that all your archives will be with correct icon (preview/thumbnail). Hope it helps!

File Type Associations Do Not Stick System-Wide CS4

When I set File Type Associations for PSD, Tiff, DNG and Jpeg fles in Bridge CS4 so that my files will open in PS CS3 (and insure that the same file associations apply in Bridge CS3), this works as it should from within CS4 and CS3, but it is impossible to introduce a system-wide change in Mac OS 10.5.5 via File-Info. It always reverts to CS4 for these file types, if I try to 'modify all'. The same thing happened when I upgraded from CS2 to CS3.

If File Type Associations are set properly in the Bridge preferences, the default setting can be made to open files in PS CS3, with CS4 installed. This works from within CS3 and CS4. However, it sometimes happens that one is in the Finder, and the default remains PS CS4, however much one tries (via File-Get Info) to modify the default system-wide settings so that these files open in CS3. In any event, a bit invasive. Of course, if I could get comfortable with the Adjustment Layer Panels, all this would be unnecessary, but for the moment, there appear to be too many clicks, and it is going to take some time, so I don't want to burn bridges. Perhaps there is also some ambiguity in my mind as to what the pointing finger in the new Curves dialogue box, much like a tolling bell, is trying to tell me.
But thanks, once again Anne, for your good-natured help.

Setting Bridge's file type associations in Preferences

Hello,
I am using Bridge with Windows 7 and I'm trying to change the file type association for a jpg from Photoshop to Office 2015. When I click on Browse, I find myself looking in Program Files/ Program Files (x86) but nothing seems to be a form of Office 2015 that will work. I see a folder for Office 2015 and inside is an .exe file, but that doesn't do it.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

You are looking for an application, and ALL applications in a Windows environment have an .exe extension. There's no other kind.

Because to me it sounds nuts. All MS Office applications are pretty bad at handling images and voracious resource hogs.

Google is your friend. There are all kinds of free image viewers, even free image editors. I can't help you there because I don't do windows.

RemoteApp 2012 and File Type Associations

Hi, All :),
the scenario is like this - 2 x Server 2012: one as the RD Connection Broker and RD Web Access and one as the RD Session Host (clients are Windows 7). ALMOST everything works: there is one collection, several applications, all successfully thrown into
the RemoteApp and Desktop Collections by GPO (Powershell script - http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ScriptCenter/313a95b3-a698-4bb0-9ed6-d89a47eacc72/).
But one thing doesn't work - file type associations. Well, I want the client without, for example, Office installed to open the RemoteApp application (Excel) by clicking on the XLSX file. When looking at the application properties -> File Type Associations
-> Current Associations column, I see the name of the collection, which includes Excel ... but it does not work. After updating the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections on the client, the RDP file with Excel noticed a new line:
remoteapplicationfileextensions: s:. csv,. xls,. xlsx,. xltx
How do I make it work? I know that in RemoteApp on Server 2008R2 you could export the MSI file that took care of File Type Associations, but what to do in case of Server 2012?

Unfortunately, the feature to install file type associations for RemoteApp programs in your GPO-pushed RemoteApp and Desktop Collection is only supported on Windows 8 clients. Several improvement were made over the old MSI-based file type associations, and
those improvements rely upon changes in the Windows 8 OS.
Ultimately file type associations are controlled with registry keys, all of which are documented on MSDN. RemoteApp programs are pretty much the same as any other local program, except the file type is associated with mstsc.exe with some special parameters.
Although the way we register those file type associations in Windows 8 won't work for you, the way the old MSIs used to register them would. You could in theory register the RemoteApp file type associations yourself in the same way that one of the old MSIs
would have done (you could use some sort of GPO-pushed script on the clients).
The easiest way to do this would be to track down one of those old MSIs, install it, and do a before-and-after view of the registry to see what changes it makes.
Hope that helps,
