Delay in save and open dialog boxes waiting for Sidebar "Favorites" section

Upgraded Macbook Pro (3,1) from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.2. Ever since upgrading, when opening or saving documents in any application, the Favorites section in the sidebar is blank for a few seconds, maybe 5-10, and then populates normally. I do have a link to a remote computer's folder in the Favorites, which could be the issue.
Is anyone else having this problem?

You're asking about Java, right? There's JFileChooser which is probably what you are asking about. Note that it is just like the VB one in that it doesn't actually open or save a file, it just allows you to choose the name of the file to be opened or saved.

Save and Open Dialog Boxes

Hi,
Newbie
I have been programing in VB.NET for around 18 months and know that there is an object in the environment that adds an open and a save dialog box onto a form as well as ones for other dialog boxes for other jobs.
However i was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a set dialog box for opening files and saving files that can be imported into a java application or if you have to design one yourself.
Thanks in advance
Dave

HT6065 Fixing file display speed in save and open dialog boxes

Has anyone else had issues with the speed at which a folder's contents are listed in a save dialog box? I will select a folder when saving a file and it will take 10-12 seconds of the spinning cog before it displays the list of files. Folder contents inside of that display their contents when clicked on right away but the first level selected is always very slow. It was fine in OS 10.8. I did a clean install of OS 10.9.

My Mac will not open any 'save' or 'open' dialog boxes

My mac will not open any 'save' or 'open' dialog boxes, this includes saving in photoshop and uploading photos to Facebook. The dialog boxes do not appear - please help?

Since you're running Lion, just try a new system install - it won't affect your data or apps, but you should, anyway, have a backup regardless.
Boot to your Recovery partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting. At the Recovery window, first repair permissions again, then verify and, if necessary, repair your hard drive. Then quite Disk Utility and elect to reinstall the OS anew - it will only overwrite system files and the like, not touching your data, apps, etc. It may take awhile to complete.
After completion, reboot and see if the problem still exists. If it does, I'm just at a loss...

I am attempting to update a page onmy website and the dialog box asks for a password for "50.63.96.1 I have no password and never needed one before. Please advise. Thanks, Regina

That would be the password for your FTP server. You can only get this from your web hosting company. You should contact your web hosting company and ask them for your FTP Publishing details.
Then select your web site name at the top of the list of web pages in iWeb. You'll see input fieldd for your FTP details. Enter what you get from your web hosting provider in those fields.

ICloud and Open Dialog boxes not working

I originally posted a question at Open Dialog boxes have disappeared without results. I have some more information now.
The problem: Open Dialog boxes do not work - they don't show up at all - for apps supported by iCloud. Apps that don't use iCloud work fine.
I've now figured out that the Open Dialog boxes will reappear if I uncheck Documents and Data in the iCloud preferences pane. If I recheck it, then the Open Dialogs for all synced apps stop working. I am unable to correlate when this behavior started to any particular event on my Mac (that is not to say there is not a correlation - I simply can't find one). I have done file permission repairs, deleted com plists and even reinstalled Mountain Lion 10.8.2, all with no change in the behavior. The results of checking/unchecking the Documents and Data box are instant. I can have an app like Preview open or closed, or restart the computer. It does not matter. Checked = no Open Dialog; Unchecked = get Open Dialog (without iCloud option of course).

I appreciate all responses particularly from an "Official Adobe" human being!
Unfortunately, a significant amount of effort has been expended with no joy here.
I have done the following;
(1) examined every plug-in folder for duplicates - None found
(2) deleted the symlinks (aliases) Topaz created referencing their plug-ins in /Library/Application Support
(3) reinstalled the Topaz bundle - no change
(4) Spoke at length with Topaz support and have been assured that all of their plug-ins are CS6 compatible.
(5) Have had the same conversation with Nik regarding their 2 plug-ins - assured that they are compatible.
Frankly I'm stumped here. I've combed my system in everyway I can without any change in PS behavior - on Open it defaults to blank and "Save as" selects the wrong format.
Question for the experts. Would deleting PS completely and then reinstalling make a difference or am I now in uncharted territory and on my own?
Thanks for all assistance,
Robert
Still need to save as TIFF but can't seem to get there.

Preview and Open dialog box on initial start of program?

Okay, I understand that it might be beneficial when starting Preview that an open dialog box also pops up. However, I find it VERY annoying that it does it when I double click on a PDF and Preview goes through it's initial startup. It NEVER did this before...am I missing some setting?
I know it may seem like a small annoyance but, for some reason, it really bugs me.

Thanks. I guess I wasn't very effective with my search phrases before posting.
It did solve the annoyance but definitely seems like a bug to me. I will post in feedback to Apple since opening a pdf in preview and then automatically opening an open dialog box has no value. It also shouldn't be linked to Documents and Data in icloud being checked or not.

Open dialog box prefs for geany and gnumeric

I did a reinstall so that /usr/ would no longer have its own partition. Rearranging the partitions was just going to take too long.
I use geany and gnumeric. File -> Open, in either program, brings up the open dialog box. It is titled Select a file for gnumeric and Open File for geany.
Since the reinstall, I have to click the pad and pencil icon in the top left every time to open up the line for manual entry of the location.
I am sure it used to remember its state before the reinstall. Does anyone know where that setting is saved or how to get that functionality back? Thanks.

if i understand correctly you have a note item (based on table) on every child record? when you open the dialog box: how do you put data from notes to dialog box? in the same way as you can write it back ...

Save as / open dialog boxes crashing

Hi, whenever I choose save as, or open and get the finder box window, if I click the drop down tab to show recent items it crashes whatever program I'm using at the time. I'm on an intel 2 x 2.66 with OS X.4.10

Same issue here. Mine happens only when Saving As from within the confines of a web browser (Firefox or Safari). Can not select the drop-down menu of recent Save locations without getting the eternal spinning beach ball, and ultimately having to do a forced Shutdown and reboot. In addition, can't seem to double-click folders any more (in the same Save As dialog box) to burrow down to the ultimate Save location. Must select the folder then use Command/O, select folder, Command/O, etc. until I get to where I want to save the file to. Another side effect of this behavior seems to be that it (the browser? the O/S?) doesn't remember the last Saved-To location upon doing the next Save As. It jumps up a level, or sometimes two, and I then have to burrow back down manually using the select folder, Command/O, select folder, Command/O sequence again.
Not positive, but I don't think this problem manifested as soon as I upgraded to 10.4.10. But is has started "since" that time. Firefox has been updated during that time, but not Safari. I'm thinkin': something corrupt in the O/S? Repair permissions had no effect.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Missing preview pane in Open dialog box

Recently, the preview pane doesn't show in any file open dialog boxes. For instance, when viewing the list of files in the open dialog box I was previously able to single click on a file and to the right, I would see a preview of the file as well as some basic info. Now, that pane is gone. What's particularly vexing is that this is happening on both my MacBook and my MacBook Pro. On the MBP, I was running 10.6.2 and I ran Software update yesterday to 10.6.3 in an effort to fix it, but the problem is still there.

While I'm not quite sure what you mean, it sounds to me like you had the Open dialog set for Column view, and at some point changed it to List view. Take a look at the toolbar at the top of the Open dialog window, you should see the back/forward buttons, then a group of three icons representing icon, list and column view. Both icon view and column view will show a preview icon of the selected file. Personally, I like icon view, since you see all the files that fit in the window with custom thumbs, and can pick what you want quickly. If you change the setting, in say Safari, to list view (which makes more sense in Safari), then the Open dialog for, say, TextEdit gets changed too. Just change it back by clicking the little icon in the toolbar at the top of the Open window.

Export Save / Open dialog box appears behind disco screen

Hi all
Disco 10g Plus, excel, latest Sun java 6.16 jvm
We have an annoying but strange issue with exporting.
A user opens and runs a report ok.
Withing Disco 10 plus they then click on either file-Export-excel or click on the Export Excel icon on disco plus toolbar
Either way the export happens and a dialog box appears with blue progress bar and then this disappears.
And then nothing appears to happen.
However, something actually has happened, behind the disco 10 window the 'File Download' dialog box with 'Do you wish to open or save this file?' appears. Clicking on save saves it to PC and clicking open opens it in Excel which is fine.
I am not sure of this box belongs to excel or internet explorer but does anyone know of any way to have this dialog box appear IN FRONT of the current disco plus window as some of our users think that disco has 'frozen' and thus log support calls.
thanks in advance,
dw

Hi dw
I have heard of folks complaining that exports to Excel hang. I have not had any feedback to say that the dialog box is actually open behind the scenes. This is very interesting news and thanks for reporting it. I will certainly look for this in the future and see if I can find a pattern.
If I may ask, what exact version of Discoverer are you on and what cumulative patch level have you implemented?
Also, what browser are you using and have you tried this in another one?
Have you tried deinstalling Java 6.16 and tested with an older one like 6.11 which I have seen working very well?
As much extra information as you can provide will definitely help and could trigger an idea from someone reading.
Best wishes
Michael

Any way to see ICONS in Open and Close Dialog boxes?

Is there any way to see ICONS in Open and Close Dialog boxes, instead of just lists of items names?
I know you can preview one at a time, but I'd love to see all my artwork as picture icons, just as you can in a finder window.
Windows does this, but not OSX that I know of. Is there a third party app that enables you to see icon view in the Open and Close Dialogs?

Thank you Steve Jobs. I guess that feature has been added in Leopard. Now there really is nothing that I'll miss from Windoze.

Diable "open dialog box" on right mouse click so I can use l mouse to advance to next slide and r mouse click to "go back." How in PP 2010 for mac????

I do presentations in PP10. I am new to macair, and used to Windows. HOW DO I DISABLE THE "OPEN DIALOG BOX ON RIGHT CLICK"? I would like to use L mouse to advance slide, and R mouse to go back. The default is to use R mouse to open dialog box. I can disable this by unchecking the box in "advanced" on the PC. How do I do it with the Mac????
Thanks

Hi Rod,
As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project.
