Did JWS prompt for file associations in 1.5?

I have a vague memory of running a sandboxed app. that claims file associations, and being pleased to see a prompt asking whether I (as a user) actually wanted to make the file association.
That was in 1.5. I just tried the same app. again in 1.6 (it is my [sandboxed demo of the JNLP API file services|http://pscode.org/jws/filetest-sandbox.jnlp]) and although I was prompted for 'desktop integration' (it also suggests a desktop shortcut) there was no prompt for the file association.
You can get the build files at the [page that describes the file service|http://pscode.org/jws/api.html#fs].
Is my memory faulty? Has there been a change in the way file associations are handled?
Edit 1:
I forgot to add. The file type claimed is '.zzz'. A normal '.txt' file renamed to '.zzz' will open in my little demo just fine (tested it just then). So the file association is successful, it is just that I was not prompted, that bothers me.

I have exactly the same issue affecting InDesign and Illustrator. Photoshop had the same issue but it allowed you to set the default program. It seems the only way to do it is to open the program and open the document from there. This is a complete pain!

JSF error message: Automatic prompting for file download

This is a weird problem. I have a JSF application wherin I popup a new window on a submit button.
The window opens a test.jsf page that redirects the output to a servlet1.
Servlet then based on some parameters does a sendRedirectI() to different servlets out of context.
Now the issue is that when the output is redirected to out of context servlet, that returns a file download.
If in IE browser, if one does not do a setting of "Automatic prompting for file download", this window that I had opened on submit buttton vanishes in a jiffy. If the IE setting is done, it shows the file download correctly.
I would want to show the user some kind of message by which he/she understands that this IE setting has to be done.
I have tried several ways:
1. Javascript: window.onbeforeunload on the test.jsf so that when the window unloads i can show some message. But since test.jsf forwards to servlet1, the html page generated does not show my script.
2. I also tried checking if some windows registry can help me understand the setting.
3. I tried writing in response object the javascript and then redirecting it to servlet out of context. But I guess sendRedirect() does a new request, so this did not help.
Can anyone help? I am not sure if I am able to explain my problem correctly.

Here is the result.I used your code and it worked fine with IE setting Enabled. But when I tried to access the download servlet after opening a new window, it doesnt download the file.

Automatic prompting for file download

Safari 5 stopped prompting for file name when downloading.

Hello,
On Safari 4, when I clicked a download link, Safari always prompted for a file name, so I could change it before starting downloading, I installed Safari 5 and "this" feature dissapeared. Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance,
Alex

Works for me: Right-click on the Paint.NET download file here. http://www.dotpdn.com/downloads/pdn.html
It opens a menu. I click Download Linked File As... and change the name. It downloads.
What experience are you seeing?

Put User prompt for the associated report in BAM 11g

I have a report zone wise distribution of total price where price>some user defined value.I implemented that using user promt at filter option.In my report there are 4 reports say report1,report2,report3,and report4 displaying at a time.Report2 needs that user defined value for the price to load.BUt in my case,before loading the entire report it is asking for that price value.I want to put the user defined prompt for price in the associated report.is it possible?Please suggest.

You can achieve this by doing two things:
1. Open you report in edit mode, select your View "A" (if this is the first view, it will be selected by default), click on "Change Report Properties" link on the left, this will open up Prompts and Parameters window. Click on your prompt and then click Edit. Click Next, Next and go to the third step where the values of prompts are listed. Click on any value and then click default (to make that value as your default) - an arrow will start to point to your default value. You could also select "All" and make it as your default value. Finish it.
2. Click on Edit View and then for Data screen, go to "Surface Prompts" tab and choose for your prompt option Display in as "View title".
Save and open the report. Now, it won't ask you to input any value before loading any of the views. By default, "All" (or the default you set) will be used to load View A and through drop down of values, you can change to filter the data in just this view.
Thanks,

No CC Programs show in the list of defaults for file associations

I have CC 2014 Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom. None of these programs show as available for associating files such as .jpg. Even if I navigate to Photoshop.exe and select it, it does not associate.
up to a few days ago if I clicked on a .jpg it would open in Photoshop. Now it does not...
An adobe agent got access to my PC and could do nothing except direct me to ask Microsoft for a fix even though ONLY CC programs are affected!!
Any ideas?
John

Check that your Windows Registry keys for Photoshop.exe shell commands edit and open are set correctly. Sometime they get messed up. I think uninstalling a prior release of Photoshop that the Adobe un-install process maybe doing the damage. I stopped uninstall old release of Photoshop years ago. I just delete their install trees on my disk to revover disk space and remove their uninstall entries in the registry.

Its not clear to me what is the main query here but we need to associate an email client in Organizer prefernces for photomail or normal mail with attachments...

File associations: filename not passed in args with JWS on OS X?

Hi -- I have a working JWS-deployed app, which sets up a file association for a specific MIME type. Double-clicking a file with the specified extension works fine on win32, with args[0] being set to -open, and args[1] to the file path to open.
But on OS X, J2SE 5.0, although the JWS app starts, the args[] array is empty (and hence I have no way to know what datafile was double-clicked to start the app, and hence to open it!). Is this a known problem on OS X? I can't find any reference to this issue anywhere. This is on a MacPro Intel box, haven't tried on another Mac yet, but I assume this is a general issue? JWS is version 11.4.2.
Thanks for any tips... D

...on OS X, J2SE 5.0, although the JWS app
starts, the args[] array is empty I cannot immediately answer your question, I have my
own thread going, asking questions about JWS handling
of file associations for a sandboxed application.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=38&threadID=785224
As it is, I would appreciate a test result for OS X.
Does my app. also break on OS X under 1.5?
(you might need to see it 'work' under win to
answer that - it is quite quirky).
OTOH, the strategy I take with the sandboxed application,
might be the one to follow for OS X if you cannot get the
second argument.
Open a file chooser, pointing at "user.dir" (in the vague
hope that points in the right direction) and explain to
the user that between them double clicking the file,
and 'now' (about 20 ms. later, on most systems) the
information was 'lost'.

File associations in Windows 8.1 for applications on a network location

Hi,
From Windows 7 to Windows 8 it has been done alot of changes regarding file file assocations. It seem that the main reason was security and was "patched" by having Windows read the hash for the applications instead of where the application was
located.
but there seem to be some major hicups and there is limited info on the web covering these issues.
First issue: when running: Dism /Online /Export-DefaultAppAssociations:\\Server\Share\AppAssoc.xml and then creating a GPO configuration pointing to
thi XML file. With this feature only common file extensions is supported and when users are changing to another computer, these settings is not possible to syncronize using roaming profiles.
Second issue: In the appassoc.xml file applications must be either appid(metro app) or common application on local harddrive to be registered and not a .EXE
file on a network location.
It seems a little strange if this is the case and if there is no other options for administratos to set file associations in more flexible ways. Does anyone have some more info on
this topic other than these link:

https://keithga.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/file-associations-in-windows-8/

Hi Primeid,
You could use Group policy for file associations or you could deploy the xml file during image deployment. However as you mentioned that the file associations only applies to common application on local hard drive or metro app.

We understand your confusion about this, but we hope you understand that using network location for file association deployment is highly insecure and it is out of our recommendation since the content in that network location could be changed without any

Windows 8 setup does not prompt for license key, then fails, on hp envy notebook

Hi,
I am trying to install Windows 8 pro on an hp envy dv7 notebook, that came with a Windows 8 home pre-installed.
I tried by running the setup from the CD inserted while Windows was running, but setup complained that no license key matched the CD and faled. Strange enough,
setup did not prompt for any license key!
I tried the setup on another, older PC, there it did prompt for license key and setup ended well. At least it was not the CD.
Then I retried booting from setup CD, it loaded files, then started the setup without promptiing for any license key, and failed again.
Then I tried with a Windows 7 CD, same behavior, not prompting for license key and fail to setup.
Then I "repaired" Windows by booting from CD and reformatting the hard drive, dropping all Windows partitions, then restart setup from CD, but it still behaved the same way: not prompting for license key, and failing to setup.
I called the HP support, and they answered that it was a problem for Microsoft (what a good support, the only place where the problem occurs is the hp computer, but let the Customer call Microsoft instead).
So here I am, did any of you use an hp computer, and succeeded in installing Windows 8 PRO NFR from Technet plus on it?

Is it a Chinese Editon preinstalled in HP notebook?
Windows 8 preinstall machine includes a license key in system firmware. So Windows 8 setup will use this key rather than pop up product key input text pop. It is a Microsoft by design issue. So no good mathod to workaround this problem.

Java WebDynpro's and IE security settings for file download

We have a EP 7.0 SP13 environment on which we have deployed a number of own developed java webdynpro's. In some of these webdynpro's we provide the file download functionality. The portal and webdynpro's are used by both internal personnel and external customers.
On the other hand the default Internet security settings for Internet Explorer, disable "Automatic prompting for file downloads".
When a user, with these default security settings active, tries to use our webdynpro's file download functionality, the screen seems to refreshes but no file download starts. When (s)he retries, the session runs for some minutes and gives following error message:
"com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.session.LockException: Thread SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_20 failed to acquire exclusive lock on client session ClientSession".
This behavior is explained in SAPNote 1234847. Webdynpro provides a single-thread module, meaning a user session is blocked for the during of the request. And because the previous file download isn't yet completed the new try can't start.
Issue now, although the users IE settings allow file downloads and don't block pop up's, he can't download the file and even isn't made aware of the cause of the failure.
How can we avoid this issue, without having to communicate the
application requires specific browser settings?

File association error causing problems with ms/office update file download

While I was finding my way around OSX I made the error of selecting a wrong file type association when trying to install MS Office 2008. I associated their installer file with the 'Console' utility and now, when Office 2008 wants to auto-update, it downloads a file (to where, I can't tell) and then tries to install it using Console.
I understand the method of changing file associations when you have a file of the appropriate type, using file info, and Open With (tick 'Always Open With This App').... but this is not a blanket association... I have to associate it specifically with the MS Office Installation files... and because they are downloaded in the background, I can't find them to use this method.
I also understand that the settings for file associations are stored in this file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist.
But I can't edit this without knowing what I'm doing
Can anyone advise?
Thanks!

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
If you like, you can move that to the desktop and the next time you run the same process, a new one will be created.
If for any reason this borks other settings, you can put the original back if you need to, but I believe you'll be fine, in which case then simply delete the original.
Don't bother editing it since you lack those skills, etc.

Report Script : Parameter for file name?

hi all,
I am using a report script to generate a text file with budget data. This works fine in AAS console but I am automating this process by usning an ESSCMD and batch script.
tha batch script will call the ESSCMD script which in turn executes the follwoing command
RUNREPT 2 "RepScripName" "c:\Otputfile.txt"
Now here I am hard coding the Output file name and location.But my requirement is that when I run the script it should prompt for file name and location.
Any Idea on this
Thanks

Another solution I have tried is simply writing a small VB app that has a dialog that allows you to type in a file name or even navigate a file system directory. If I understand you correctly, you just want to be able to output the file anywhere you want. This works well and you can add more features to, just depends on if it is worth the effort. Other wise you can just write MXL and supply your script with position variables. You just need to type it in and hope you type typed it in correctly. Good luck, there are several ways to accomplish this.

Applications & File Associations

Hi, I love GoodReader. Great app. I also need MarinerCalc (sorry Numbers). My question is this:
When opening a document in email or what have you, there is that "open in (applicationname)" button. MarinerCalc, for some reason, has decided that it should be the default open-er of .pdf files. This is horribly annoying.
Anyone know if/how this can be changed?
