Customize columns in "save as..." dialog?

In the finder, you can customize the columns that show up in list view (e.g. size, type, etc).
However, if you make those changes they are not reflected in the "open" or "save as..." dialog from within an application (I checked in firefox or safari or ms office).
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Alan

Not any way I know of. AFAICT, you'll only get Name and Last Modified. The default can be changed from list view to column view (retains last used setting—I only use list view, so you'll have to experiment).

How to customize & enlarge default Save-As dialog

I have a large monitor.
Is there a way to customize the default Save-As dialog, so that it:
- always opens in the expanded form (with folders etc.)
- opens with a bigger initial size (so I can see most of my left bar)
Thanks

Does not seem to remember the re-sized dialog across applications, I have to do it in each application.
Tinker Toy looks really neat! But I could not find an option to always do "Save As" in expanded form.
Thanks!

How to customize the Save as dialog Box for saving Web Query???

Hello,
we are usnging SAP NW Portal and BI 7.0 (SP14).
We have published BI web queries in the Portal and it works just fine, now when the User select the Button "Save As" in the Context Menu of any web query, this will open a new Dialog Box name "Save As Dialog Box", so from this dialog box the user can select where to save the query, he/she have 3 options* to save qureies: My Favorites, Bex Portfolio and MyPortfolio, this also works fine.
My Quetsion is: How can i customize the View of this "Save As" dialog box, so at the end the User can only select 2 Options: My Favorites + MyPortfolio. So how to hide the Tab: Bex Portfolio in the Dialog Box.
Points for any good answer.
Many Thanks and Regards,
Nazih

"Save As" Dialog Box crashing

I have an MacPro 10.4.11 that's connected to an Xserve.
When I run any application from either Creative Suite 2 and 3 and try to save a file to the Xserve and click on the drop-down menu in the Save As dialog box which I think is called the Finder dialog box the application crashes. Alternatively if I do the same thing locally (no Xserve) it works fine.
Additionally in the same Finder dialog box every file I open and then perform a Save As always kicks me back one level from when the file actually resides.
Any ideas?

Daredman01, I just wanted to add myself to this thread because I'm having a similar problem. If I used PS CS3 or selected other programs, when I click on the drop down box in the Save As dialog box, the application crashes.
One workaround which has helped is to use the alternative method of viewing files (the "column view" or horizontal view). If I switch to that, then I can work across the horizontal columns, find the folder I want, and save the file without the app crashing. But I still can save by "descending" to the folder I want.

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

Filename in Save As dialog when saving PDF file

I have a web site serving up PDF files. Without going into details, the URLs of the PDFs are not just your basic URL but look simething like this:
http://www.domain.com/WorkFlowApp/Clients/demo1/secure/Promo%20Cover%20Cool-MedH i.pdf?userId=55b64ad5-28a2-490e-b3d6-4944099a390f#collab=CollabService@http://ww w.domain.com/ICCollab/IC_Service.asmx?WSDL
In this case the actual filename is "Promo Cover Cool-MedHi.pdf"
While viewing in Safari (OS X), if the user saves the PDF to their local machine, the Save As dialog comes up and the filename field is automatically populated. The problem is, instead of using just the filename, the field contains this:
http---www.domain.com-WorkFlowApp-Clients-demo1-secure-Promo%20Cover%20Cool-MedH i.pdf?userId=55b64ad5-28a2-490e-b3d6-4944099a390f#collab=CollabService@http---ww w.domain.com-ICCollab-IC_Service.asmx?WSDL
I know when performing the same action on Windows using Internet Explorer, the Save As dialog box filename field is populated correctly with just the filename (although it shows up URL encoded as Promo%20Cover%20Cool-MedHi.pdf, which is OK).
I'd like to be able to force Safari to use just the filename in the Save As dialog box. Has anyone come accross this problem and figured out a solution?

Hello Ebnul.nao
I am having this same problemwith trying to work this out.
Did you succeed in the end?
I will really appreciate your help if you did
Kind regards

"Save As" dialog of excel for a sandbox solution library of sharepoint gives "Web page no longer exist. Error 410"

Hi
I created 2 libraries via a sandbox solution for sharepoint 2010.
I uploaded an excel file into the library.
Now on opening via excel that file and clicking "Save as " dialog - it tries to open that sharepoint library where the file resides.
But i am getting an error of "Webpage no longer exists".

No, this approach doesn't solve the problem
I have the same problem. Created a new SharePoint 2010 List Definition project, Sandbox deployment option. List Definition type: Documents Library.
When attempting to save into the document library from Microsoft Word 2010 I get "The webpage no longer exists" error in the File Save dialog
If I change the type of the solution to Farm solution it works as expected.

"Save as" dialog -- filename input

Hello,
each time if I save an edge animate using the "save as" dialog , the save as dialog opens and I click on another file in order to reuse the file name. The file name is prompted in the save as dialog.
Now, I like to modify the file name: I click into the file name and enter the first character. Instead of not changing the position, the program is selecting the complete file name and deletes the file name if you continue writing. This is in my opinion an error. The save as dialogs in Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver (I have not tested other Adobe applications) have the same issue.
Does anyone has a solution for this? I don't have this issue in MS Office or Visual Studio. Seems to be a problem in Adobe applications only.I have updated to the latest available AI, DW, PS and Animate versions (CC 2014.1 and so on).
Yours
Stephan

Hello,
it is windows standard feature inside a save as dialog box if the box is opened and if you click on an existing file name, the cursor should be places at the end of the filename which is completeley selected.
Then, you have the option to jump at the end of the input field and the filename will be automatically unselected. This is different inside Adobe file save as dialoges and does not correspond to Windows standard behaviour.
I would change it in order to be compliant to the expected standard feature.

I've suddenly started getting this issue today on SSMS 2008 with Win 7. I can do Save but as soon as I try Save As the whole thing just locks up. I get a flashing Save icon in the bottom right corner but no Save dialog and all I can do at

Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?

Save As Dialog Not Showing when opening pdf from Outlook 2010

Hi
I have recently had to change the default documents folder on a windows 7 machine (Right Click Documents, properties, include folder, set save location). Since this change, when opening an attached pdf document in outlook 2010 and viewing with adobe reader, if i click Save as from the file menu, no os dialog appears and therefore user cannot choose a place to save the document.
As a work around the user can right click the attachment save the docment to a location, once opened, ther save as dialog is usable.
I have uninstalled and re-installed reader to the laterst version, but with no luck.
Any ideas?
Jason Congerton

This looks like a new behavior of Outlook 2010 and isn't specific to PDFs. You will need to "save as" the document. There is a thread at Microsoft forums about this with some possible workarounds:

How to avoid the "Save As" dialog when using "Close Button"

Hello All,
I am facing a problem while closing a pdf file.
I am using the following code to Open a pdf file.
CAcroApp objAcroApp = new AcroAppClass();
CAcroAVDoc objAVDoc = new AcroAVDoc();
objAVDoc.Open(C:\\new.pdf,Sample);
objAcroApp.Show();
After opening the document I am **** some changes (adding markup) in the file.
Then I am closing the file using the Close Button and in YES for the save confirmation dialog.
Here is the problem.
After giving YES, I am getting a Save As dialog with "Sample.pdf" in the FileName box.
I am getting this only in Acrobat 9.0.
When I tried the same in Acrobat 8.0 I didnt get Save As dialog. It saved with out "Save As" dialog in "C:\\new.pdf".
I need to give the same behavior in both Acrobat 9.0 and 8.0.
Please help me out to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.

Mohd Mustafa SK

Always prompted with Save As Dialog when viewing dashboard

CA Forum: Performance Management and Dashboards
Hi,
We are having problem viewing dashboard which contains Xcelsius document. In our development server we were able to view all dashboards with embedded Xcelsius document but when we move it to our production server it shows different output. Everytime we try to view the dashboard it keeps on prompting a "Save As Dialog" instead of showing the Xcelcius file. I really have no idea on what to do next, please help.
Thanks,

Print to PDF is very slow showing "save as" dialog when printing from Outlook 2013

Hello,
I'm having a problem with one of my users. The problem is intermittent. At first when I was looking at the issue, here is what I saw:
In Outlook 2013, I opened an e-mail. I then selected Print, selected the Adobe PDF printer, and hit the print button. There was over a 1 minute delay before the "save as" dialog appeared to ask me where to save the document and what to name it. I did this for several different e-mails with and without attachments and the problem was consistent. I saved the e-mail to a local e-mail file and the problem was the same. This process was over 30 or 40 minutes. I was pulled away for another issue and now the "save as" dialog pops up within seconds. The user is complaining that this happens regularly. I tried a repair, cleared temp files, and was going to try printing from other apps, but then it started temporarily behaving itself, so I can't tell you if the same delay existed in other apps. I didn't see anything obvious in the event viewer logs.
Has anyone else seen this? Anyone have an idea on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
Jeffery Smith

Thank for your help Bill, but changing settings in the distiller did not seem to work. As my application prints directly to the default application without using anything specific to Acrobat, I was hoping there was a simple way forward. A colleague suggested copying registry entries from the account I logged on as to the S-1-5-18 entry, then rebooting. This had no effect as the prompt still comes up.
Aandi, I don't have the Acrobat SDK or any experience of it.
Also I'm not sure where any code/script would sit since the application is stable and so I would rather not change it.
If it amounts to a few lines of javascript sitting outside the application then that would be of interest.
