Double-click on clips in Browser imports directly to Timeline not Viewer

It's been awhile since I have posted any Mac issues, so here goes:
I have a clip that I imported into Final Cut Express (FCE), which went OK. I then divided it up into subclips, and went to bed. Now that I have opened FCE again, my Viewer is gone (though the Viewer slug is there), and double-clicking on any of my subclips in the Browser takes my directly to a tab in the Timeline, instead of the Viewer.
I have never seen this happen before, and I have played around with the settings, but could not find anything that will turn this maddening behavior off though I do get the feeling that this is nothing more that something being turned on (or off) that shouldn't be.
That being said, if there's a way to reset FCE to its default settings, which I suspect would solve the problem, I would appreciate knowing it.
If I wasn't clear before, I am trying to get back to the place were double-clicking on a subclip in the Browser takes me not to an individual tab in the Timeline, but a Viewer window. Then, if I want to move the clip to the Timeline, then I would do so, and have the clip in the Timeline show in my Browser window.
All help is, of course, appreciated.

I think I solved the problem (sort of). The clip I am using was imported from iMovie 09, after I changed it to a XML file. For some reason this type of file doesn't seem to act the same as a QuickTime file imported into Final Cut Express, which opens up a Viewer window automatically upon a double-click on the clip in the Browser.
This doesn't quite make sense to me as to why a XML file would act in such a fashion, though I had no trouble opening a Viewer when I imported a QuickTime file into FCE.
I will try opening up the file in iMovie 09 (which I cannot stand. If iMovie 06 had the functionality–converting to XML files–I would stick with that)
The XML file seems to bypass the Viewer entirely, and open in the Browser and the TimeLine.
Strange, though it does lead me to search under importing iMovie 09 XML files into Final Cut Express.
Thanks for the assistance.

  • Double clicking an image in Browser view

    I see that the behavior for double clicking an image in Browser view has changed between Aperture 2 & 3. In version 2, double clicking an image would jump from Browser view to zoom in on that image in full screen mode. Now in version 3, double clicking just switches to that image in Viewer mode in the main window, without entering into full screen mode.
    While I guess this change makes some sense given the changes to full screen mode in v.3, my old fingers have gotten used to doing things the old way. To recreate what I used to do in v.2 I need to double click, then hit 'F' to do to full screen mode and then do the reverse to get back where I started.
    Is there anyway I can change this behavior to the old v.2 way? I see lots of ways to customize hotkeys and commands, but nothing to change behaviors for a double click.
    Thanks!

    I can't find anything, but I'm still finding my way around!
    I don't think you need to double click and press F..... just pressing F should change views.
    Another way is to drag the "Full Screen" icon into the toolbar, and you can just click that.

    I installed new version 4. Whenever I double click on any htm or html document it will not open with firefox it gives a message window saying "Windows can not file path please type correctly" (not extact these words) .. It was working when old firefox was there..

    Phillipp,
    I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

  • Double click on Clip in Timeline

    If you double-click on a clip in a Timeline it will open in the Source Monitor.
    That feature is sometimes confusing, because if you do it by accident and think that you are viewing your source clip and set a new Mark In after the original Out point, the clip will disappear from the Timeline.
    Is there a good reason for that feature or is it a bug?
    Cheers Kim DT

    I see that here, too.  That is pretty weird.

  • Do I still have to double-click a clip to see it's date and time?

    iMovie 4 and earler, when you clicked on a clip in the timeline, the time and date would show up right there in the grey area. Then in iMovie 5, that is gone. Now I have to double-click every single clip to see the same info. This has made me very angry, as I waste a ton of time double clicking and closing windows. Why on earth is that gone? Anyway, I decided to save the $80 on version 6...unless they brought back this feature. Can anyone let me know if it's back?

    iMovie HD 5/6 no longer shows the timecode in its main window.
    I, too. think this embedded timecode info should be shown in the main window like in iMovie 4 so that the user can easily see the date of each clip.
    Notice that the displayed time is the value of the very first frame of the underlying media clip. I.e. if you split the clip at the playhead, all the splitted clips still point to the same time.
    iMovie 2.1.2 did this right by always showing the correct time even with splitted media clips.

  • Unable to close open apps with double clicking the button and when I tap screen does not respond?

    Cannot not close open apps with double clicking the button Since downloading iOS8.

    What happens when you try? Does double clicking the ?home button bring up the Task Bar of recently used apps? If so what happens when you flick up on the preview screen for the app you want to close?
    To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app.

  • My desktop icon for firefox when double clicked wont load the browser?

    My firefox browser wont load when clicking the desktop icon...i have uninstalled and reinstalled ( i have done this 3 times) and it will work for a day then it doesnt work again. Im at my witts end and im about to go back to IE.

    i think i figured it out, at least for now. I installed Adobe reader about a week ago so i could retrieve my w-2's, and i dont think Fire fox liked it. I uninstalled Adobe reader and fire fox and then reinstalled fire fox and all seems to be well again. We will see...Thanks

  • I try to download firefox. After completion, the firefox icon is crossed out and when I double click, I get a message saying the architecture does not support this application. I have a g4 mac laptop with 10.5.8. Any suggestions?

    hard drive died two weeks ago and had it replaced by an authorized dealer.
    Previous to this disaster, I had firefox and had no problems.

    The latest 9.0.1 version is not compatible with your ppc mac os.
    Firefox 4 versions and later '''do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' and require at least OS X 10.5 and '''an Intel Mac'''.
    see : [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0.1/system-requirements/ Firefox 9 System Requirements]
    '''The latest supported version for your os is 3.6.25''' , you can download it from:
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    see : [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6/system-requirements/ Firefox 3.6 System Requirements]
    [For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, if you like, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8]

  • Double-click does not open Clip Trimmer

    iMovie 10.0.5
    Double-clicking a clip in the timeline ought to open the clip in the Clip Trimmer. Oddly, I think it once did for me. Only days ago perhaps. Now it just opens the Adjustments Bar. Instead, I must select Window > Show Clip Trimmer or use its shortcut.
    How to get a simple double-click to work in this respect?

    I also have Photoshop CS6 installed on a Windows 7 x64 laptop. In Windows double-clicking on a CR2 image in either Bridge or mini-Bridge loads the image into Camera Raw.
    Edit in Photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 4.1 launches Photoshop without the dialog box, the same as on the Mac. The image is displayed directly in Photoshop and does not launch the Camera Raw window.
    My guess is that there is an issue with Camera Raw 7.1 or Lightroom 4.1 that is causing this behavior.

  • How do I double click in the playbook's browser?

    Hello World,
    I am trying to use a web page that requires me to double-click.  The PB browser zooms if I double-tap.  How do I send a double-click instead?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Maybe you can post a link to the page and tell us what you are trying to double click.
    A website that asks you to double click has obviously been written when most visitors had windows pc. It is asking you to execute or open something.  take care!
    Right click is tap and hold. A context menu will open and it will vary.
    Double click is as skidoo says,  or tap, wait, tap, or tap and hold then Open in new tab. It really depends on what the link is.

  • Double click on iPhone's safari browser

    Is there anyone can tell me, how to do double-click at the safari browser in iOS 4, similar to Windows operating system, such as there is a special site where its require double-click in a link to open up.

    Double tap with your finger?
    I have never run into to this.
    Can also try holding finger on link for a few seconds-should get pop up giving 3 option-open, copy, cancel.

  • Sort field and double click on operations in IW37n?

    Is the person that developed IW37n on drugs?
    If you create a report for listing order operations wouldn't it be a good idea if you could double click on a operation and go directly to the operation and not end up on header level?
    If you have a fields on operations level why don't include those fields in the report?
    87 OSS notes on this report and it's rather new makes me wonder if the quality of the SAP system are declining?

    Kristoffer
    I have to agree with you here.
    A simple change to this report would help the users a great deal if:
    When you double-click on the order number you go to the order header
    When you double-click on the operation number you go to the operations tab (or operations detail)
    There are BADIs to add new fields to IW37N, which fields are you missing?
    Not sure what you mean by 87 OSS Notes though???

  • Photoshop CS2 will not open to double click in Snow Lepard

    Since loading Snow Leopard I have been unable to open Photoshop files with a double click. Double clicking .psd file opens PS with the message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." Right click "open with" gets the same result. I CAN open files through the file menu in PS. But, files opened via the file menu and saved as... will not open with a double click.
    The "Open with" in the file info window reads "Adobe Photoshop CS2". Even forcing it to open in Preview and then back to PS CS2, sort of like hitting it with a hammer, does not improve the situation.
    CS2 on and year old dual quad.
    Before you knee jerk a "CS2, what did you expect..." CS2 seems to work fine once open. And I have access to another brand new iMac 24" with CS2 and Snow Leopard that does not have this problem, files open with a double click.
    On my troubled machine the thousands of files in question opened yesterday, pre Snow Leopard. I have found a few PS files that are several years old that do open to a double click.
    Thoughts?

    In a partial answer to my own question...
    I have discovered that the Adobe CS2 files (as well as Illustrator CS2, Microsoft Office X, Silo, etc.) will open with a double click in some cases.
    Files on my main hard drive (Mac pro dual quad with four one terabyte hard drives, Snow Leopard 10.6.1) is a RAID made up of two of the internal terabyte hard drives will not open with a double clip. (They do open via the file menu in the given program).
    But files on non-RAID drives open with a double click as expected.
    It appears that the RAID drive (Apple software RAID) is the culprit.
    It is likely that a simple fix from Apple in the operating system to correct the opening of files with a double click from an Apple sotware RAID drive would solve the problem as the various programs all work fine otherwise with Snow Leopard 10.6.1.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 clients can't double click to open Office files

    Let me start by saying I don't know too much about Server 2008.
    I have Server set up so desktop clients (Windows 7 Pro 64-bit) can log in as their user on their own machines.  On two of the client machines (mine and my bosses, I have admin rights on everything) a couple funny things are happening:
    1.  Can't open a Word or Excel file by double clicking the icon on the desktop.  Error is as follows:
    Excel
    Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\PERSONAL.XLSB'.  There are several possible reasons:  The file name or path does not exist.  The file is being used by another program. 
    The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
    Word
    The file Normal.dotm cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents.
    and then
    Word cannot open this document template. (C:\Users\(username)\...\AVWiz14s.dotm)
    and then
    Word cannot open the existing file. (Normal)
    and then Word stops responding.
    Note that I can open these documents normally from the start menu.  I have determined this error has something to do with the server because I have tried a bunch of stuff on the internet, including an Excel hotfix, which did nothing.
    2.  Desktop icons flicker, rearrange themselves, and even disappear completely at times.  I do not know what causes this, but I do believe this is a server issue.
    3.  I get recycle bin errors every time I log in, and every time I try to delete anything:
    The Recycle Bin on \\intecserver\Office Employee Files\kneureuter\My Documents\My Videos is corrupted.  Do you want to empty the Recycle Bin for this drive?
    Sometimes I get that error for 3-4 different directories.
    What I've tried:
    I tried reinstalling Office, and that made no difference.
    I have the drive from the server "Office Employee Files" mapped to network drive Y:.  I can open that and go to my account folder on there, navigate to "Desktop" and open the files from there, but not on the physical desktop on my
    computer.
    These files aren't shortcuts on the desktop, their permanent home is on the desktop.
    Just to reiterate, if I moved these files into a folder on the desktop, they will open fine.  If I open them from within Excel or Word, they open fine.  If I open them from the server drive mapped onto my terminal, they open fine.  Just can't
    open them by double-clicking the file if it is directly on the desktop.  Any ideas?
    I logged onto my account from a different computer and double-clicking to open the files worked fine on that computer.  Both computers running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and Office 2010 Pro.  So that limits it to this machine and my bosses machine.
    Since you can't create a shortcut for something on the desktop, I created a new folder on the desktop and put the files in that folder.  From there I created a shortcut and put that on the desktop.  That worked!
    However, that's just a band-aid.  I need to fix this problem sooner than later. 
    Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks!

    Hi AxEheaD15,
    If  the Desktop or the My Documents folder is redirected to a network location, Office applications may exhibit  the similar issues .
