CS5.5/OS X 10.8: Open/Save As dialog box resizing

Since I have been using CS5.5 Web Design Premium in Mountain Lion, I cannot get the programs to remember me resizing the Open and Save As dialog boxes.
Each time I Open or Save As, the windows default to about 720 x 540, which is annoyingly small on a 1920 x 1200 screen.
In each programs' .plist file, located at /Users/(username)/Library/Preferences/, there are two keys:
NSNavPanelExpandedSizeForOpenMode:GetFile
NSNavPanelExpandedSizeForSaveMode:PutFile
After trying to resize the windows, I QuickLook these .plist files. The values for these key-value pairs are
1) sporadically updated and subsequently ignored on program close/relaunch, or
2) not updated at all.
Have noticed this problem in DW, FW, AI, and FL. PS seems to be the only exception.
Adobe products are the only programs on my Mac that exhibit this problem.
Mac OS is up to date. (10.8.3 as of date of post)
All aforementioned Adobe programs are up to date according to the Adobe Application Manager.
The preferences folder and the specific .plist files contained therein are read/writeable by me, the administrator.
Rebuilding the .plist file does not help.
Rebuilding the Saved Application State folder for the program does not help.
Other miscellaneous things (resizing Finder columns, showing/rehiding hidden files, maximizing/restoring the window) don't help either.
Can any community members who have experienced this problem suggest any fixes?

I think this is an OS X 10.8 thing rather than a CS5.5/OS X 10.8 thing – but I would really like a fix for this too, nnotnorth

Blank page shown instead of Open/Save As dialog box-CSV file download in IE

I am migrating an application hosted earlier on Oracle 9iAS (9.0.3.1 BP1) to OracleAS 10g (10.1.3) with Struts 1.2.9. While the below JSP code worked for the earlier s/w stack when accessed using IE 5.5 SP2 or above, a blank page is displayed with the new s/w stack. What I mean by "worked earlier" is this. A "Open/Save As" dialog box would appear. Trying to "Open" would open a new IE window launching MS Excel and displaying correct data. Trying to "Save As" would display correct filename and extension in the dialog box.
<%@page autoFlush="false" contentType="application/x-filler"%>
<%
try
String fileName = "ABC.CSV";
String strData = "A,B,C";
response.setContentLength(strData.length());
response.setHeader("Content-Type","application/octet-stream");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename="+fileName);
ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
ouputStream.write(strData.getBytes(), 0, strData.getBytes().length);
ouputStream.flush();
ouputStream.close();
catch(Exception e)
%>
I tried some changes listed below:
1. Deliberately introduced compilation errors in the JSP code.
2. Changed contentType="application/x-filler" to various MIME types like application/x-download, application/vnd.ms-excel, removing it altogether.
3. Commented out response.setHeader("Content-Type","application/octet-stream") and also tried other MIME types related to CSV/Excel.
4. Changed Content-Disposition from inline to attachment.
Each of the above resulted in an unacceptable behaviour compared with the earlier state:
1. Blank page shown as if nothing was happening even in case of deliberate incorrect JSP syntax.
2. Dialog box did show up with some combinations. But on trying to "Open" or "Save As", the dialog box shows up a second time. Then while trying to "Open", the contents get opened either inline or in MS Excel but with some additional garbage data like source file name.jsp etc. While trying to "Save As" the file name and extension take on the pattern <URL_Pattern>.htm where URL_Pattern would be "DOWNLOAD_ACTION.do".
Some other information:
1. This code works when accessed from desktop local container (Win 2000) but not when deployed on Unix env (HP-UX B.11.11.0109).
2. Latest patchsets are installed for IE.
3. The existing application is designed to work for ONLY IE 5.5 SP2 or above, so I haven't tried with other browsers. I have tried both IE 5.5 SP2 and 6.0 SP1.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your valuable time..

I have made it to work with the below changes:
1. Changed the URL pattern for <filter-mapping> for *.jsp to /*.jsp
2. Added <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher> and <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
3. Everything else (code-wise) is as before.
Because of these changes, the filter, wherein some headers are being added to the response, is being invoked appropriately now.
Thanks for you time and suggestion though...

How do i disable the open/save image dialog box in firefox? I want to directly save the image file to the drive.

How do i disable the open/save image dialog box in firefox? I want to directly save the image file to the drive without clicking on save option everytime when saving an image. I'm using firefox ver 35.0.1 for windows 7.

Click on the Firefox menu. Then click "Options". Go to "Applications" tab. Search for jpg and png file type. You will find they have "Always ask" action attribute. Change it to "Save file".
Hope it will work fine for you.

Open Save As Dialog Box

I would like to create open Save As dialog using ColdFusion.
The user will be clicking a button and the dialog will pop up
asking the user if he want to save the file. I know that it can be
done using JavaScript, but I am not sure how it could be done with
CF. any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Photoshop CS6 Windows - Open\Save as dialog box

Why in Photoshop & Illustrator CS6 "Open" and "Save as" dialog box style is from Windows XP?
In AfterEffects, Audition and other is new dialog box style:
Can Adobe add in "Preferences" - option with checkbox for users Windows 7/8
who can use the new windows explorer with extended folder bar?
That would be simplified and speeded up a lot of things.
Or maybe I'm blind and not see this option

Summary:
... because 100 years ago, people also had wooden wheels for cars.

Open/Save File Dialog Box comes up, then does not respond for a long time or not at all

I will click a link for a download and the box will pop up saying
"You have chosen to open "blahblah.blah.blah
Which is a: blah file
From: www.randomsite.com
What should Firefox do with this file?
Open with
Save File"
At this point other than being able to see the box, it is as though it doesn't exist. I can't click okay or cancel or choose what to do. Sometimes after a few minutes it will suddenly work, other times it will just remain until Firefox closes.

You can also try to clean install the new version after deleting the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Profile Folder] as well as the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory Installation Folder.] Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information?s=backup&r=1&e=sph&as=s this] for backing up important info. The '''places.sqlite''' file stores the bookmarks and history, the '''key3.db''' + '''siqnons.sqlite''' files are needed to successfully restore the saved passwords etc.

"Save As" Dialog Box in Acrobat X/Windows 7

One of the best things about Windows Vista and 7 is the much-expanded and much-improved Open/Save As dialog boxes. They are much more efficient and much easier to work with, especially as you build huge document libraries.
When I installed Acrobat X I was very excited by the assumption that a post-Windows 7 Acrobat build would utilize Windows 7 dialog boxes. Oh was I wrong. It seems that Acrobat X still utilizes the old Windows 2000/Windows XP dialog boxes.
Does anyone know of a way to force Acrobat to use 21st century dialog boxes? Or am I doomed to remain stuck in 1990s file navigation hell?
Thanks.

This is really unbelieveable that Adobe is apparently unable to detect the version of Windows that they are running on and alter the Dialog box to suit! I can only imagine that their code base is so bad and riddled with old legacy stuff that their developers are unable to make this change without breaking everything. In which case, why even bother to bump to a new major version of X ?
Why do we support this?
Chris Cox, your answer of "We've been trying to - but we still have to support XP and Vista." is unacceptable. You know how to detect that you are running on Windows 7 and you can still support XP and Vista. Any developer out there know this.
MAKE THIS CHANGE NOW !!

I would like Adobe to utilize the non-legacy save/open Windows 7 dialog box

So I downloaded the trial for CS5.5 Master Suite and found that the open/save dialog box is the same thing from CS5. This is a huge disappointment.
Reason being is explained right here: http://www.sanneblad.com/2010/06/18/customizing-the-open-and-save-dialogs-in-adobe-cs5-for -windows/
Common File Dialog is being used still by CS5 and CS5.5 which is outdated and legacy.
[Starting with Windows Vista, the Open and Save As common dialog boxes have been superseded by the Common Item Dialog. We recommended that you use the Common Item Dialog API instead of these dialog boxes from the Common Dialog Box Library.]
The Open dialog box lets the user specify the drive, directory, and the name of a file or set of files to open. You create and display an Open dialog box by initializing an OPENFILENAME structure and passing the structure to the GetOpenFileName function.
The Save As dialog box lets the user specify the drive, directory, and name of a file to save. You create and display a Save As dialog box by initializing an OPENFILENAME structure and passing the structure to the GetSaveFileName function.
Explorer-style Open and Save As dialog boxes provide user-interface features that are similar to the Windows Explorer. However, the system continues to support old-style Open and Save As dialog boxes for applications that must be consistent with the old-style user interface.
In addition to the difference in appearance, the Explorer-style and old-style dialog boxes differ in their use of custom templates and hook procedures for customizing the dialog boxes. However, the Explorer-style and old-style dialog boxes have the same behavior for most basic operations, such as specifying a file name filter, validating the user's input, and getting the file name specified by the user. For more information about the Explorer-style and old-style dialog boxes, see Open and Save As Dialog Box Customization.
The following illustration shows a typical Explorer-style Open dialog box.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776913%28v=VS.85%29.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646960%28VS.85%29.aspx
It appears it would be a simple retooling of the code in order for this to work. I truly hope that Windows 8 will force all software developers to utilize the new Common Item Dialog API.

We've been trying to - but we still have to support XP and Vista.
It appears it would be a simple retooling of the code in order for this to work.
Um, no, not that simple.

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size? I would like them to open at the size they were previously resized like they used to in previous operating systems. They currently open at a very small size and the first colum is only a few letters wide necessitating a resize practically every time one wants to use it. Any help would be appreciated.

Report opens Save as Dialogue Box, on client.

Hi,
I am using Report Builder 11.1.2.1.0, and I am calling a report from Form.
If I run/call report on my own pc it opens perfectly in browser (pdf format), but if same report is opened on client pc, it opens Save As dialogue box and asks user to save the report.
Can you please let me know, how can I achieve to open a report in browser on client's pc, without opening Save As Dialogue.
Eagerly waiting for your replies.
Regards,

That is probably because the user's browser does not support opening a pdf document.
Most browsers support pdf, some need a plugin. Check what happens with any other pdf document on the web that you want to open on the user's PC, like http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17643.pdf

"Save As" Dialog Box Opens As Full Screen. How to Disable?

At some point my "Save As" dialog box began to open as full screen. Don't know why. There is no way that I can find to get it out of full screen mode. I've looked at the preferences and can't find any obvious control for this behavior. It's not a big deal, but it's very annoying. I've not been able to find anywhere else that this question has been asked.
I tried "Save As Other" and it behaves the same way.
The document itself is not opened full screen.
I'm using Windows 7. Currently I'm running Adobe Reader XI, but the behavior started before that. I think I may have accidentally typed in some combination of keys (or dropped something on the keyboard) that set some kind of option somewhere.
Thanks for any help.

Wouldn't you know it. By entering this question a similar question finally showed up. The answer is to right-click in the top of the window and select "Restore." Problem solved.
