  • CS6 Photoshop saving double copies of files?

    Hello! Can someone please help me!
    I have two MACs, one runs cs3 photoshop and the other runs cs6 photoshop. I cannot figure out for the life of my why I can only save 614 images on my flashdrive when using cs6 and I can get almost 1900 files (from the same folder where the 614 files came from) on the same type of flash drive when I use cs3.
    Does cs6 store hidden copies of each file that I open and process? Or is the image size settings set larger than they are in cs3? Can anyone please advise or give any sense of direction on how I can get this figured out. It's becoming very costly having to use 2-3 customized flashdrives per client when I should only be using one per client!
    Thanks!

    If I were to venture a guess, I would look at "Maximize Compatibility" settings in both CS3 and CS6 Preferences under File Handling.
    "Always" will insure other programs can read PSD files, but will increase file size.
    "Never" will turn off compatibility features, and will reduce file size,but no telling if the file can be read if your clients are using other programs that may need that feature when reading PSD files.
    "Ask" will remember if you turned it on or not:
    In the same File handling area is an option for Image Previews as well. You can turn that off and see if it reduces file size,but no telling if that might be a problem.
    Also under Preferences > General in CS6 is a History log that will write details to the file metadata. Some places check it as a way to keeps records for client billing. I've never used it,so I can't say if that's adds much to file size.
    Just a few ideas,

  • HT4527 i just copied some music from my external hard disc to my macbook . how can i make all that music be shown in my iTunes without having double copies of the music??

    Hello Sudhanshu Mishra,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    You can have iTunes reference the content where ever it is on your HDD without copying the content to the iTunes library, thus using twice the space.
    If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
    From: Adding music and other content to iTunes
              http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1473
    Additionally if you want the content to then ALSO be located in your iTunes Library folder so everything is all kept together nice and tidy, use this:
    Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
    Depending on how you imported items into iTunes, some items in your library might be stored in different locations (in another folder or on another hard disk, for example).
    You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
    Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
    Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
    To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”

  • Opening photoshop from double click on file opens the app but doesn't open the file.

    This is a new behaviour... how can we solve it? Its very annoying!

    Thanks!
    Steps to reproduce:
    Having the photoshop closed...
    1 - Double click a psd file on the desktop (or any other place)
    2 - Photoshop loads until it gets to the normal window
    3 - The file wasn't opened
    4 - Go back to the desktop and double click the file
    5 - Photoshop (that is at this time already open), opens the file and displays it on screen
    Shouldn't it be opening the file after loading photoshop?

  • How Can I Simulate Double-Clicking A File To Open It In The Default App Without Installing Default App?

    I have an app written with Visual Studio 2013. The app has code for opening a file using the standard OpenFileDialog and also has code (AutoOpenFile()) for opening a file when a user double-clicks on a file that is handled by the app. I have not yet created
    an installer for the app, so I won't be able to test it's AutoOpenFile() code...unless there is a way to simulate the process of auto-opening the double-clicked file without actually installing the app on my PC. Anyone?

    Thanks for your reply, Wyck. I already have the necessary code in my app for opening a file when I double-click on it. The problem is that the app is not currently installed on my PC. Until I do install it, is there a way I can test-run that code
    by double-clicking on an associated file?
    You lost me at: you want to test-run code that is not on your PC.
    O_o
    You want to double-click a file, and then...what do you want to have happen?  You want to run...something...that is not on your PC??
    The "simulation" is to launch your app from the command line and pass in the name of the file you wanted to simulate a "double-click" of.
    Regardless, you cannot get the shell to have a double-click of a file cause your application to launch unless you modify the registry to do so.  (This is tantamount to "install" to me.)
    In the spirit of continuing to be helpful, though, I'll assume that this is what you want to do and I'll show you how to get it done with the least amount of tampering with your registry.
    Here are minimally invasive registry modifications you need to make to get it to launch a program when you double-click your file.  It's pretty small.
    EXAMPLE ONLY:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wyck]
    @="Wyck.Document"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wyck.Document\shell\open\command]
    @="c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe \"%1\""
    [You have to save the above with your appropriate modifications to a file with the
    .reg extension (e.g.: test.reg) and then you'll have to double-click the test.reg file to "merge" these settings into your registry.]
    The example above registers a file extension called .wyck and assigns a completely arbitrary class name to it called
    Wyck.Document.
    Then it associates a shell open command with the Wyck.Document class that causes
    notepad.exe to be passed the filename of the file you double-clicked (that's what the
    %1 does).  You are welcome to replace all the specific names with your own extensions and class names and replace notepad.exe with the path to your (test) executable.
    This executable will be launched, but not with a debugger attached.  To facilitate debugging it, you'll want to temporarily add some code to your program to pause when the program launches, possibly by showing a message box right at the very beginning
    of your main function that says "attach debugger now" so that you can attach a debugger to the process that was started by the shell, and then dismiss the message box and continue debugging.
    When you are done with your testing, you can simply manually delete those two registry keys using
    regedit.

    My MacBookPro with Mountain Lion seems to be making copies of files in my download folder.  Why is this happening and how do I stop it?

    This issue has nothing to do with Time Machine or local snaphsots. No built-in feature of OS X does what you describe.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time.

    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' 
    Copy (command-C) the selected text to the Clipboard. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered. You can do that by copy-and-paste as well. Omit the final line ending in “$”. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}' 
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. It won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' 
    Step 4

    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

    Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen!
    My question concerns the impossibility to open RAW-files directly from the program Adobe Bridge. At the moment when you open a RAW-file from Adobe Bridge by double-clicking, RAW-file is opened only in Photoshop. In the settings Adobe Bridge - in "open RAW-files by double-clicking in Adobe Camera Raw» box is checked. When you try any changes in the settings Adobe Bridge system displays a message:
    Bridge's parent application is not active. Bridge requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature.
    The entire line of Adobe products on my computer updated to the latest updates. Previously, a family of products Adobe Photoshop on your computer is not set. Computer - PC, Windows 7 Enterprises.

  • Double-click in Files panel will not open a file

    Double-click in Files panel will not open a file. Instead
    alert message appears (I will translate from Czech): "Design notes
    are not allowed for this file. If you want to use Design notes...".
    I do not want use Design notes, I want to open a file from File
    Panel.
    The same issue is when opening by right-click/Open. The only
    (and unconfortable) way to open a file from Files panel is to
    right-click/Open in program/Dreamweaver, this works.
    Do you know why? help me, please, this disturbs me very much.
    I have clean installation of up to date CS3 Design Premium
    (Version 9.0 build 41) on WinXP SP2. Previous version of DW (v8)
    worked fine in this way. Associations in system are set OK, I
    think, because double-clicking in my file manager really opens for
    examle PHP files in DW.

    Also Drag & Drop from Files panel is not functioning.
    Sometimes neither alert appears, simply nothing happen.
    Note: I am trying usual files like PHP or HTML files, but
    also others (PDF, CSS) with the same result - nothing
    happens.

  • Write double to a file

    I want to write doubles to a file without converting them to string....... how is this done?

    The text file showed me squares so I could not see the hexadecimal numbers.. Then I used the bin file and I could see hexadecimal numbers.
    Since I want to sort the numbers... I am wondering how I would specifically get that double number again using the input stream..
    I did this:
              /*Create file or overwrite if it does exists*/
              FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("File1.bin");
              DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(fis);
              int size = fis.available();
              System.out.println("Size of File1 "+size);
              /*Get random number*/
              /*Create an array that can store 100,000 numbers*/
              double num1[] = new double[100001];
              //Write to file
              for (int count = 0; count <= size; count ++)
                   num1[count] = dis.readDouble(num1[count]); ------This line problem
                   System.out.println(num1[count]);
    In the API - double readDouble() is method under DataInputStream but when I compile this...
    This is the error I get:
    SingleThread.java:28: readDouble() in java.io.DataInputStream cannot be applied
    to (double)
    num1[count] = dis.readDouble(num1[count]);

  • 4.0.1 crashes now when you double click a file to edit in source monitor

    If I double click a file to watch it in Media Browser or in the project window premiere crashes. In fact the only way I can open a source window to set in and out points is if the clip is in the timeline.
    This makes editing with premiere almost unusable. It tried it with a few different file types. At least I have AAF so I can take my projects back into CS3 till this gets fixed.

    My Vista 64 premiere install is all messed up. Adobe Media Encoder completely freezes. Probably OE but it was working fine yesterday. The only thing installed on my Vista 64 is Adobe CS4 and only editing related drivers are installed.
    My Vista 32 (on a seperate disk) is working fine with Premiere but Adobe Media Encoder doesn't want update.
    All messed up here. At least it's Friday.

  • Double-click any file on desktop, calling JAVA PROGRAM

    hi guys,
    i'm breakin my head on doin this prog....when we double click a file icon of any file extension, my another
    java program should be called.
    how to do this???
    pls send a sample code........asap!!!!!!!!!
    regards,
    Sam...

    If you are using windows you could probably make a file association (for all extension types) to a batch file that in turn fires off 'java YourClass params_here'
    - but if you (can) do this, won't you screw up your desktop - ie doubleclicking on an .xls or .doc will never fire up Excel or Word, unless you change the file extension associations back to what they were before? This would make your pc kind of strange to use...??!!

  • I bought and transfer mac application (fxpansion Tremor) to ipod touch. Double tap dmg file in FileApp brings up unknown filetype dialog. What app processes dmg files to install them?

    I bought and transfer mac application (fxpansion Tremor) to ipod touch. Double tap dmg file in FileApp brings up unknown filetype dialog. What app processes dmg files to install them?
    an ipod touch supports all files types which its apps support

    thanks, it's good to get a reply, but why do you keep going on about windows? Agreed, there is no mention that Tremor runs on iOS. So far this is the only reason given that it cannot run on iOS. You can read and I can read.
    By putting the question to the community I was hoping for something like: the app you want is here-link, or the app you want cannot be written because technical-reason.
    From a words point of view it would seem to be open for any ios developer to support DMG files.

  • How to invoke system editor by double click a file(windows)?

    how to invoke system editor by double click a file(windows)?
    Just like that, double click a file named a.doc, windows will open it by word.exe.

    I try that:
    exec("cmd /c start winword \"c:\dir\a b.doc\"");
    like this posting(http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=634576 ), and It is ok.
    But now I make a file list with different files, .pdf,.xls,.doc and so on, I wanna double click to open one with its default system editor.
    if no space:
    exec("cmd /c start " + file);
    will invoke the default editor to open it. if space, it can't do it.
    And now I rename all files, replace space to _.
