Display corruption in open/save dialogue window

Anyone noticed this one - When opening or saving files in applications, if I drag the sidebar edge in the open/save window to make the column wider or narrower, then scroll any column to the right of the sidebar, the folders/files in that column blur and distort. This happens in most 3rd party apps - eg Word, Quark, Dreamweaver, also iTunes but not in Safari or Extensis Suitcase (which seem to use a slightly different type of dialogue window.
If I use the sidebar default width (where it 'clicks' to a set width), move the sidebar to it's furthest width possible, or close the sidebar altogether, the problem disappears.
I've only just noticed this issue, but I may just have never tried to alter the sidebar width in combination with scrolling before now - it may be an OSX10.4.5 issue which I've only updated to recently. The standard finder window behaves normally, it only goes weird when trying to open or save from an app.
Seems like Quartz is having problems somewhere.
I've trashed the sidebar preferences, removed and restored the sidebar items/aliases, repaired privileges but no difference.
I've tested this on a recent Hard drive/system backup and the problem appears there too. I've yet to test it on my old G4 as I can't get access to that today.
I've got a new G5 with a GeForce 6600 card with 256MB VRam so there shouldn't be a memory problem.
Any thoughts anyone?
G5 2.5 Dual Core 2Gb RAM Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Just found out it's a problem with the Wacom Intuos3 tablet pen - the symptom doesn't occur using the apple mouse (or the Intuos mouse either). Have reinstalled the Intuos driver, repaired permissions etc but problem persists. Sounds like an issue for the Wacom techies.

How to get Open/Save Dialogue box

Hi,
I need to get open/save dialogue box while downloading a file (from JSP).
One way which I am currently using is on click of the button pass control to servlet and in servlet using the following code:
/**.....Some Code */
response.setContentType("application/csv");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
/**.....Some Code */But I am wondering is there any way I can do the same without passing the control to Servlet? On clicking the button in JSP, is there is any possibilty to get the Open/Save dialogue box directly.
Thanks
Arun

without passing the control to Servlet?Why?
In HTTP you can send the response only once.The application where i have this requirement is an old one. In the application, I have there are some screens, whose control never goes to Servlet.
TO be more precise, 2 pages one HTML and another JSP. And the file to be downloaded is created when JSP is called from HTML page. And there is no interaction with Servlet. The JSP inturn calls a method in Java file (which is not a Servlet) and gets all the details including the file to be downloaded.
I have used window.open() to download the file(in JSP) in order to have Open/Save dialogue box.
But the approach is working fine in Windows XP systems but not in Windows2000. In Win00 machines it is directly opening the file in popup without giving the user any option for Open/Save.
Please let me know your suggestion on this.
Thanks

Codesigned Projector and BuddyAPI (or other File Open/Save Dialogue)

I noticed that with the Buddy Xtra, if baGetFilename call is made when an application is Codesigned, it will crash.
Actually ANY attempt to use any file open/save dialogue attempt in a Codesigned application will not work.
Has anybody found a work around for this?

Hi,
Did you found the solution to this? I'm also trying to do something like you , but I got stuck up in a very primitive stage than you. I'm not getting how I can make that File Download window to appear. Can you help me please.

Fireworks won't remember the open/save as window size?

Hi,
Fireworks won't remember the open/save as window size. It always displays the same small window size. Deleting the preferences hasn't helped?
Thanks.

Thanks for the response.
Yes good point. It's Fireworks CS6 v 12.0.0.274 on Mac OSX v10.9.5.
I didn't have this issue with CS5.5 on 10.9.5, only started with CS6.
Anyway, you're probably right re living with it.
Maybe someone has experienced the same issue and found the reason.
Thanks again.

I can't use Yahoo messenger (it doesn't open the dialogue window), but in other PCs with older versions of Firefox I don't have problems

I can't use Yahoo messenger (it doesn't open the dialogue window), but in other PCs with older versions of Firefox I don't have problems
As stated earlier even though when I have an incoming message I hear the "Beep" Firefox does not open the dialogue window as it used to do.
Also I am not able to open a new dialogue window or tab by clicking on an online contact of mine.

Known issue, See:
* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
this issue maybe fixed in beta/ nightly, you should try it

Openoffice and kde4 open/save dialogue

Now that I've got this beautiful KDE4.4 desktop those dreadful gtk open/save dialogues have got to go!
Followed the wiki but installation of gtk-qt-engine-1.1-2 rendered soffice useless - so no go there.
There is Firefox of course but I'm hoping that there will be a 64_86 version of firefox-kde-opensuse in AUR soon. Audacity is another offender and I'm sure there are others...
Oh, if only there were a one-for-all solution to these eye sores

For the standard openoffice to get the KDE integration you need to have the command
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=KDE4
somewhere that's getting sourced - I have it in /etc/profile.d/openoffice.sh since that was mentioned in the install message. When I tried out go-openoffice a while backI think it needed the same thing or else keeps the default gtk-style.
For gtk-kde4 I had Systemsettings - appearance - gtk syle and it gives me some drop down menus which can be set to "Use current KDE style"
I have noticed some things look a little more KDE-like than others - for instance gimp barely looks different than it did under standard gtk styles.

PDF opens "save as" window instead of opening (in Firefox)

Hi all,
I am using Captivate 5.5 to publish to .swf.
In my project I have a button set to open a URL or file, with a path to a PDF file.
It used to work fine in all browsers, the PDF would open in Reader or in a tab when the button was clicked.
However I just noticed that when using Mozilla Firefox, clicking the button now opens a "save as" window to save the PDF file, rather than display it. What happened?
Behaviour is fine in Chrome or IE.
Issue occurs whether the PDF is set to open in the actual or a new window, and whether the project is set to continue playing or not.
The project is entirely published and read locally.
I am at a loss. Can anyone give me a tip on how to configure my button to work the same in all browsers?
Thanks.

Never mind, I found the answer.
A matter of setting the Firefox options so that PDF files open in Reader or whatnot rather than prompt to save.

How to make the Open/Save dialogue download the text file instead of JSP

I am currently coding on a JSP program, which searches the database and writes the resultset into a file on the server, and then allows the client to download this tab delimited text file onto their local machine. But I met a problem, when the default Open or Save dialogue appears, it shows that it's trying to download the running JSP file from my local host instead of the newly-created text file. Despite this, when I click OK to either Open or Save the file, a warning dialogue will appear saying: The explorer cann't download this file, it's unable to find this internet site or something like that. I get no error message from the server but I was always told that Javax.servlet.ServletException: getWriter() was already called. What does this mean?
I guess maybe this is caused by the mix use of outputStreams in my program. I don't know if there is a way to directly read the resultset from the database and then send it through outputStream to the client. My solution is: first create a file on the server to hold the resultset, and then output this file to the client. I did all these in one JSP program: Create file on the server, search database, and then read file and output the contents to client. Is this correct? I attached my code, please feel free to correct any of my mistake? Thanks!

Thanks. I believe something wrong with this statement
in my program:
You are correct there is something wrong with this statement. Seeing how you are doing this in a jsp, not really what they're made for but thats another topic, the output stream has already been called. When a jsp gets compiled it creates a few implicit objects, one of them being the outputstream out, and it does this by calling the response.getWriter(). getWriter or getOutputStream can only be called once, other wise you will get the exception you are experiencing. This is for both methods as well, seeing how the jsp compiles and calls getWriter means that you cannot call getOutputStream. Calling one makes the other throw the exception if called as well. As far as the filename problem in the browser goes I'm guessing that it's in IE. I've had some problems before when I had to send files to the browser through a servlet and remember having to set an inline attribute of some sort in the content-dis header inorder to get IE to see the real filename. The best way to solve this is to get the orielly file package and use that. It is very easy to use and understand and does all of this for you already. Plus it's free. Cant beat that.
ServletOutputStream outs =
response.getOutputStream();
because I put a lot of printout statement within my
code, and the program stops to print out exactly
before the above statement. And then I get the
following message, which repeats several times:
ServletExec: caught exception -
javax.servlet.ServletException: getWriter() was
already called.

Can't tab into file list when using column view in the open/save dialogue boxes

Hi,
When in Open/Save Dialog Boxes I can't use tab to select the file/folder list in Column View. Tab will only cycle through Save As, Tags, Search, and the Sidebar. In all the other views (Icon, List, Cover) I can tab into the file list. Is this a bug?
I know that enabling Full Keyboard Access will make this work, but I'd rather not do that since it increases the number of buttons you must tab through to get to the file list.

'Open'/'Open With' Dialogue windows glitchy?

Hi I have had my iMac for a while now but I have never bothered to ask for hlep on this issue. Whenever I try to open a file with another program or try to open a file whilst in a program the 'Open'/'Open With' dialogie windows are very glitchy. While trying to scroll through my files it constantly freezes. I end up having to copy the file I want to my desktop and open it from there because there are less files to go through.
I would greatly appreciate any help with this because it has been happening ever since I bought my mac.

Thanks for responding to this matter. When I double click the link to open the pdf... a new tab opens with a blank screen. It is white. When I try to refresh, nothing happens. I have also tried to save/download the file, and open it through that way. When asked to save the document "pdf" is not available. Only "all files." However when I try to retrieve it, it says download is not available, as in... it did not download or save.
1. All web browser options are selected. I have already tried to uncheck, one, and all of these boxes. Still the same results.
2. I have tried several URL... All of the documents I have tried to retrieve have been within a secured website, such as salliemae.com (trying to view a 1098 for my student loan), and mycheckfree.com (trying to view bills from ComED and Nicor Gas).
If I open an old pdf on my computer... I can still read that.
Thank you for your time and help. Im so frustrated, and missing deadlines!

Open/Save Dialogue appears twice in Download

Hi all,
I am trying to write a text file to the client when the client clicks on some download link.... this is what I am doing.....
ByteArrayOutputStream bout = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bout.write('A');
response.setContentType("application/text");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=AuditTrial.txt");
response.setContentLength(bout.size());
ServletOutputStream strp = response.getOutputStream();
bout.writeTo(strp);
bout.close();
when I run this.... Im getting the Open/Save dialog.....
When I choose "Save".... its working fine.....
and when I choose "Open".... it is prompting me the Open/Save dialog again.... and then it is opening.... so the client is getting the dialog twice when chooses "Open" option...... but there is no problem in the output as such... its working fine... its just that Im getting the Dialog twice when i choose "Open".
Can someone help me out in this regard....
ThanX in Adv,
Kiran,

If you use html form to submit download request, it will give you twice dialog. Use hyperlink to download, there will be only one dialog.

Painfully slow open/save dialog windows

Before anyone asks, no I don't have a .Mac account and I'm not using iDisk.
So it's not that
Basically, regardless of the app. whenever I select a file in the open file dialog window, I just get a spinning beach ball for about a minute or more. It's driving me crazy. I have repaired permissions, I have repaired the disk, and I have run DiskWarrior over the drive too. No change.
If anyone mentions a reinstall, I'll kill them. I have a 142 applications in my app's folder I don't want to reinstall them all - I just want to get my work done. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

XServ doesn't display files in open/save window

Hi;
I have a weird problem.
I have installed OS 10.5.1 on three machines so far and have worked through most of the issues but currently I have 1 machine with a weird problem.
It is that when I try to show the files in the XServ in the standard OS Dialog, the files don't show up. I can't connect as a different user and when I am in applications the same thing happens.
I can use the Adobe Dialog and the Server shows all it's files just fine, but if I use the OS Dialog, I can't see files.
HELP!!!
Thanks!
Nancy

This is what I see. Only software. Not sure how to get hardware to appear or anything else for that matter.
