Double click to open .sql files with sql developer on mac osx

hi,
I am trying to double click a .sql file and open it with SQL Developer on Mac OSX lion. I have associated .sql files to SQL Developer. On clicking the file it opens the SQL developer application but does not open the actual .sql file. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello,
Did you find any solution to your problem ? My SQL Developer worked fine and could open additional SQL files. Now it only opens the first one when starting SQL Developer. Additionnal files cannot be opened. Even running sqldeveloper.exe from command line with a SQL file as parameter doesn't help.
I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit, but the environment may not necessarily be the cause.

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 .

Can't double click to open PDF files

Within the past two weeks I'm getting this odd error where I can't open a PDF file by double clicking it. I get an error saying "This action is only valid for products that are already installed"
I have Reader 8.1.2. installed. I CAN open a PDF file when I open up Adobe Reader and then browse and select the file from the File Menu. I just can't double click to open any more. Very annoying.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Reader, but I'm getting the same error.
Any help is much appreciated!

Did the double click to open a file or folder go away with the Magic Mouse?

I see that you can set up the right or left "secondary click" and when you click o a folder or file you get the menu to open, etc. But I really perfer to just double click on a file or folder to open it. I see there is a "Double-Click" option at the top of the preferences, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I am on an iMac running 10.6.7
Thanks in advance for your help.

Okay, I am officially embarrassed. I thought I had changed enough things around to see if I could get this to work. I had the “Double-Click’ in the preferences set to the far right to be “fast,” the same way I have “Tracking”and “Scrolling,” and those two work fine. I decided to move the slider to the left a bit and it now works. So, if anyone else has this problem – here’s the solution!

Jtree, Double Click to open a file

Here is what I have so far:
tree.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
            public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent evt){
                if (evt.getClickCount()==2){
                    TreePath tp = tree
                            .getClosestPathForLocation(evt.getX(), evt.getY());
                    File file = (File)tp.getLastPathComponent();
                    // open the file here
                    if(file.isFile() && file.exists()){
                        System.out.format("You double clicked %s", file.toString());
                        //---->What goes here?
        });I've searched the internet and found a few examples that don't work. Anyhow if a person clicks on an image, it should open the image, if they click on a txt document it should open the text document. Any clues on how to implement that would be fantastic.

Thanks that seems to work. I can open .txt documents without a problem. However images don't open and .html pages open and then immediately close. Any ideas?

Acrobat 8.1.3 requires two double clicks to open a file

Our agency has a VB app that uses adobe to pull up files routinely (for many employees I support they use this app to pull up dozens of documents a day).
Use to be that when you want to pull up a PDF file from the VB app you double clicked once and the PDF came right up. Now you double click and it brings adobe to the forefront (if not already started) or it will just sit there in the background (if adobe was already started before), and then you have to go back to the VB application and double click on the document name again before it will pull up in the Adobe program in a second adobe window. Only staff with the 8.1.3 update have this issue, those with 8.1.2 do one double click and the document comes right up.

I would recommend going to the Help>Repair and then repeating with Help>Updates. I am assuming the process is the same on the MAC as the PC.

Can't open Word file with password on my Mac

I have a Microsoft Office Word 2007 file with a password from my old computer, and when I try to put it on my new Mac all I get is a bunch of "EncryptedPackage" and random symbols through the pages. I do not have my old computer anymore, neither do I have access to any PC, so how could I decode this message so I can see the content?

lirek wrote:
by the way i do not have Office on my Mac
If the document was locked and password-protected in Word on the Windows system, I don't know of any way to unlock it without having a copy of Word on the Mac unless perhaps OpenOffice.org will open it. TextEdit and Pages will not (unless I've missed something).

Can't open a file with spaces on the filename.

Lets say I have a file:
/home/orv/Open - Me - Please.txt
When I double click to open that file with any program, the result is something like this:
"Unable to find /home/orv/Open%20-%20Me%20-%20Please.txt"
I'm not sure what to call that process of converting the file name so I've been unable to google it up to find a fix or a way to change the behavior of the file manager.
I've checked the settings in Nautilus and nothings there. Any clues? Thank you!

I tried removing everything in my home directory to erase all settings, still the same problem.
I tried using a different file manager and still the same problem.
Here's another example of my problem and its quirks:
Lets say I have a file called:
/home/orv/I am a Movie.avi
In nautilus or thunar, double-clicking that file so I can play it with Mplayer will give an error:
Failed to open file:///home/orv/I%20am%20a%20Movie.avi
However, when I drag and drop using the file manager into Mplayer, it works.
So my problem is this automatic conversion of whitespaces into the %20 which I don't know how to turn off.

Quick Question... About SQL Developer for MAC - MAC Users please help.

Hello everyone, I hope that someone out there can tell me that I am not crazy.
I have installed SQL Developer for Mac OSX to access a MS-SQL database, and perform simple query operations. For the most part, I have been thrilled to have a Mac version of software that's fully featured.
Details on my current setup:
SQL Developer
Version 2.1.1.64
Build MAIN-64.45
Mac OSX V10.6.3
JTDS-1.2.5 JDBC driver
Database connection is SQL Server 2005
Anyway, my problem is this... I cannot locate the Query Builder function within this software. I have found the tutorials on how to use it, and it would appear to be located when you right-click the SQL worksheet to open the context menu. This option is not present in my software, and I need to figure out why. This screenshot is what I see when I right-click.
Does anyone know if this is related to MS-SQL-2005?

Any assistance you could provide would be AWESOME! Thank you!
Edited by: user13118614 on May 23, 2010 3:05 PM

First of all you need an active connection in the worksheet (upper right drop-down).
But even then it might not work. Sorry you were "thrilled to have a Mac version of software that's fully featured", because even if it is, MsSQL isn't. The tool is mainly focussed in providing a migration platform to Oracle, so a lot of the cool stuff is Oracle only.

HOW TO: Open SQL Developer from a batch file with specific tables opened

I use SQL Developer daily as I develop database intensive programs.
** Question **
How can I define a specific configuration of tabs (i.e. tables, procedures, etc) to be opened upon startup of SQL Developer?
For example, creating a .BAT file to open SQL Developer with a specific set of table tabs already opened. This will save me the time every morning I use to open SQL Developer and configure all the tables I need opened.
NOTE: I have tried various options of appending a table name to a command line starting sqldeveloper.exe. For example: ..\sqldeveloper.exe mydatabase.mytable. However, this only opens a worksheet tab with the name "mydatabase.mytable" but does not open my actual table.
Any help will be appreciated.

what version are you using? Sql Dev 1.5?
Not an exact answer, but you could try using Table FILTER
click on your connection
right button on TABLES
click apply filter

How can i setup pages to automatically open when double clicked. Currently when I double click it creates cpgz file and does not open. The only way to open pages doc is to manually ask to open with pages.

Currently when I double click it creates cpgz file and does not open. The only way to open pages doc is to manually ask to open with pages.

Hi Karen,
Sounds like OS X has lost the association between Pages and its files.
Start by quitting Pages, then going to Finder.
In Finder, locate a .pages file. Click on it (once), then press command-I (eye, not one) to Get Info.
In the Info window that opens, expand the Open With section.
In this section, click on the pop-up menu and choose Pages (even if Pages is already shown).
Click the Change All button to associate all files with the .pages extension with Pages.
Close the info window.
Double click any .pages file to check that Pages will now launch and open the file.

Barry

Open JPG files with Bridge RAW by double clicking?

I am using CS4 Bridge 3.0.0.0.464
When I double click on a JPG file it opens in Photoshop.
I prefer to edit my JPG files with Bridge camera RAW.
At present, I have to right-click and choose 'open in camera RAW'.
Is there a workaround for this?

You're all over the map with that description, perhaps assuming some things are coupled that are not, normally (Camera Raw, Smart Object, Crop).
Start with the basics: There is a Camera Raw preference that determines whether JPEGs and TIFFs will be opened by default through Camera Raw by default. It's important to note that once you have opened a file with Camera Raw, metadata is stored so that it will open that same way every time, so these settings apply to JPEG or TIFF images that haven't been opened before.
In Photoshop, click Edit - Preferences - Camera Raw...
Note the settings below:
