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.

Regarding open dialog box

how do we call an open dialog box when i press F4 in text field to select a file in the hard disk and the selected filename should be placed in the text field

hi
use the function module F4_FILENAME
example code:
DATA: REPID LIKE SY-REPID.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
 EXPORTING
 PROGRAM_NAME = REPID
 DYNPRO_NUMBER = SY-DYNNR
 FIELD_NAME = 'P_FNAME'
 IMPORTING
 FILE_NAME = P_FNAME
 EXCEPTIONS
 OTHERS = 1.
in reports, use this funct-module under AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR P_FNAME
in case of module-pool, use this funct-module under PROCESS ON VALUE REQUEST event.
thx

Every time I click a TXT or PDF file it opens the file and STILL opens the "Open" dialog box

I have several TXT files I have that track some info for me. Used to be, like in any OS, I could just double click it and viola, there it is in the text editor. Ever since Mountain Lion, I open it and it opens fine, then on TOP of that I get ANOTHER open dialog box from text edit with the finder window to let me pick a text file to open.
I ALREADY opened the file I want so i certainly don't need another unasked for dialog box to open every time. Same thing with PDF's. Apparently just about everything that opens with preview or text edit does this.
I must be missing something since this clearly shouldn't be default behavior. Anyone have something somewhere I've missed that will stop text edit or preview from prompting me for a file location to open when I've already opened the file I wanted in the first place?
Thanks for any insight.
John

Anyone else hitting it, I finally tracked it to icloud. Even though I was not using it for anything other than my IOS device backups, somehow it got flagged for "documents" as well. Killed that and finally preview works as it should without bringing up unwanted open dialog boxes every time I open something.

File Open Dialog Box on Button Click

Hi
I am devloping some webpages using JSF and RichFaces..
I would like to appear File open Dialog box to choose single file and multiple files and another Folder chooser dialog box to choose the folder content..
Both the operation should be performed while choosing the Button Choose File and Choose Folder...
I have already tried Input type = file and aphace tomohawk..
But i all the components are coming with text box and browse button..
I dont need that. I need to open the dialog box once i clilck my choose file r folder button and it should work browser indepent.....

HTML doesn't provide you the possibility to select multiple files or select folders at a single browse. Thus JSF can't do any much for you. Best what you can do is to write a signed applet or web start application which does the task. The Mojarra Scales component library has a ready-to-use component which embeds an applet which does that task. Check [https://scales.dev.java.net/multiFileUpload.html].

Open dialog box issue

When invoking the "open" command on AI or any of the CS3 app for that matter, on its window I get my 3 drives, network (wife's system) and MY OWN computer's name on the sidebar. What I mean is that Marcos' G5 appears too, when clicked it shows to the right my 3 drives and network again, what's the purpose of this? Aren't the drives on the side bar already? I would like to get rid of this repetition or bug (perhaps), my own computer on the open dialog box, am I missing a setting somewhere? anyone?
It only happens with CS3 apps.

Jean, I did trashed it :).
Scott, holy macaroni, i knew it was something stupid, that did it!, never thought the open dialog box would behave the same way, trashing prefs anyways to start clean.
Now that is out of the way, on the same open dialog box at the bottom of the sidebar I see the "media" folder and that one can not be moved by dragging, and is marked to not show on Finder prefs, not a big deal but can it be out of there? I'm just trying to simplify.
Thanks again Scott :)

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.

Photoshop crashes with open dialog box on Windows 8.1

I just upgraded from Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1. I have Photoshop CC, I also have Photoshop Elements installed. On occasion, Photoshop CC hangs when using the open dialog box. It then crashes explorer. The only way to resolve it is to restart the PC.
Has anyone seen this behavior. I do not have any logs as of now.
Thanks,
Bill Byrnes

I don't know if this is helpful or exactly on topic with this thread... but I have to share somewhere...
I've been dealing this problem for months and I finally fixed it on my own.
My Antivirus, AVG, which is great, except for this glitch, was the root cause of the issue.
History: If I right-clicked a file in my Save/Open Dialogue Photoshop (CS6 Extended) would crash.. for the last few months, actually... If I avoided right-clicking I'm ok, but my instincts are to organize, rename, etc. while in the save/open pop-up window ... So I've often crashed Photoshop when all I do is right-click on a file in the list of files...
Well, I figured out the cause of the glitch:
"Permanently Shred with AVG” .. this option, added without my knowledge during an AVG update, was added around the same time this problem started (realizing this in hindsight).. THIS was conflicting with my Adobe Photoshop file explorer window in the Save/Open dialogue!!! After months of trying to figure this out, this is definitely the solution.
Once I turned that AVG Shell Extenstion off.... I am now able to right-click files in Photoshop save/open pop-up window again without it crashing… finally !!!!
...hope this helps folks even if it's just a related clue to other issues....
Basically ,run command prompt as Administrator, then type:
For 32-bit : regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
For 64-bit: regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
I found this info about turning off "Permanently Shred with AVG" option at this link:

IPhoto Library in open dialog boxes

Does the Mac community agree with me that this needs to be better implemented in Mac OS X for new Mac users?
As the owner of a Mac consulting company in Los Angeles, we have switched about 30 people from PC to Mac this year.
However, we have encountered a big problem that almost every "newbie Mac user" has when they first switch to the Mac. This is the #1 problem that we encounter with most "newbie" Mac users:
There is no way to access the iPhoto library from within a standard open dialog box!
So, week after week, we're witnessing users who have used webmail for years, and aren't quite ready to make the leap to Apple Mail yet. So when they go to attach photos to an outgoing email in their webmail program (Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo), they'll get an "open" dialog box but absolutely no way of browsing their iPhoto Library in an easy-to-use manner!
Oh sure, they'll try to click around in their "Pictures" folder inside the "iPhoto Library" folder, but as you know, that folder makes no organizational sense to mere mortals, and is nowhere NEAR the Mac experience that it should be! Even with the improvements in iPhoto 6, that "iPhoto Library" folder still makes no sense.
So eventually, we tell them that they have to (a) drag their photos from iPhoto onto their desktop or export them if they want them to be a smaller size, (b) attach the files on their desktop from within their open dialog box, and (c) trash the photos from their desktop afterwards.
But this is too confusing for new Mac users, particularly when it's already much better integrated on Windows, the platform they just switched from!
New users should be able to **VISUALLY BROWSE** their iPhoto Library right from within any open dialog box, just like you can currently browse your iPhoto Library when you click on the "Media" button inside Pages or Keynote or iWeb or Comic Life.
Some companies like Snapfish.com have actually addressed this limitation on Apple's behalf, by creating plug-ins for Safari that actually let you browse your iphoto library right from your open dialog box! This is how it SHOULD BE! It's simple as pie, and Snapfish.com should be commended for making up for this serious lack of intuitiveness on Apple's part.
But Apple really needs to step up to the plate and do this for its users, instead of depending on a few companies here & there to make up for this limitation.
Of course, we try to get as many new users as possible to use Apple's Mail program for complete integration with their system, but it's just not feasible right off the bat in all cases. For example, if they're a Yahoo webmail user or a HotMail user, it would cost them at least $24.95/year just to get POP access to their email. And regardless of what webmail system they use, not everybody is going to want to switch right away to a dedicated email client.
Apple really needs to help new users have a great time when switching to the Mac, instead of confusing them, by really thinking these things through and really WATCHING new users in the field struggling with their Macs for the first time. Then, Apple can see that there's little things like this that can make all the difference for someone new to the Mac.
Thank you,

Here are two sites, one a thread in the AD and the other a GMail site, on how to use Gmail via the Mail application:

and how to make it work with intel Macs:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060606023130948&query=Hotmail
I've not used any of these but you can certainly test them so see if they are as as advertised.
If a user needs a file via the Finder for a web based email he can Command-click on a thumbnail and select the Show File Contextual menu item. The user will be taken to that folder in the Finder and the file will already be selected. However these will be the full sized files and may be larger than the user wants to send.
The problem with encouraging users to visually browse and access files in the library folder via the Finder or some browser is that they may be inclined to rename, move or edit them via the Finder or browser an that is committing the cardinal sin of iPhoto: Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder. So for a novice it's safer to have them export the file to the desktop via the File->Export->File Export menu route, resizing as necessary in the process.

Illustrator cc2014 open dialog box won't work yosemite

I have a Macbook Pro Retina 2014 with a fresh install of Yosemite and Creative Cloud, after a while, when I used the open dialog box for 4 or 5 times to open documents, that dialog box won't work anymore, I have to quit and reopen the Illustrator application, the shortcut won't work either. Is anybody got that problem before?
When I was on Mountain Lion, I never got this problem, I presume it's related to Yosemite.

Gelouis,
I believe it is a bug in CC2014, appearing when you have the Illustrator open/place dialogue set to column view and sort by date or sort by kind. You may change it to view by name or list view.

Or you may get it right by changing the sort to something else.

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 ...

Open dialog box freezes

on my dual 2.0 power mac G5, every time i bring up a standard open dialog box in any application, the finder freezes, and i have to relaunch it. this only started happening after i installed the 10.4.7 update.
i tried switching to another volume with a separate installation of os x, and everything was working fine, but as soon as i upgraded to 10.4.7, it started happening there, too. this is becoming a real problem, because it's a real pain to have to open all of my files directly from the finder.
has this happened to anyone else? is there a firmware update or something else that i need to install?

UPDATE:
i have diagnosed the problem further, and the issue appears to center around loading file metadata, because i have the exact same issue when i ctrl-click a file and select "get info".
the problem also goes away in the open dialog when i choose list view.

I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

I would like to use the windows explorer open dialog box instead of the adobe open dialog box. How can I change that?

The top screenshot is the Windows Open dialog box. All File > Open... commands in all Windows programs bring it up. Try File > Open in Notepad for example.
It belongs to Windows not Adobe. You cannot change this because there is no such thing as an Adobe Open dialog box.
The bottom screenshot is Windows Explorer. It is Windows' OS File Browser, not an Open dialog. It is not called up by Photoshop or any Windows program.
You have to click on "My Computer" or a Folder icon to get to it. You can double-click a psd, jpeg or other image file in the Explorer window so that it opens in Photoshop.
There is Adobe Bridge and Minibridge Alt + Ctrl + O or File > Browse in Bridge

Can't see psd thumbnails in the open dialog box.

In the open dialog box, the thumbnails for psd files do not show the picture but show an Elements logo instead. How can I see picture thumbnails for psd files as I do for jpg files? I found a dng codec on the web site but not a psd codec. The dng codec doesn't work for psd files.

Hi,
Is there any error message when you try to map network Drive manually? It would be better to provide more details about error message.
Generally speaking, this problem can be caused by Network Connection problem, please make sure your Client PC could access to Network Drive PC.
In addition, please check Network Drive PC security setting, if there is any firewall policy prevent this operation.
If still no use, please check Event Viewer if it identify this problem.

There is no error. There is no connectivity problem. THe drives map automatically and always have. I can open up File Explorer and browse these drives all I want. I can open up Word and browse to these drives just fine.
However, when I open certain programs, and click File | Open, the mapped network drives just simply aren't there. I only see C and D and that's it.
