"Download Linked File As" Does Not Work

As others have noted, although Safari is an excellent and fast browser, there is one feature that is quite annoying, namely that all filed download by default to a single folder selected in preferences. Internet Explorer (and Firefox, I believe) by default allows the user to save to any folder selected at the time. In each thread I've read noting this problem, someone answers that the solution in Safari is to right click on the link and select "Download Linked File As" then direct the browser to the folder. The problem is that this does not work as Safari downloads only the link (or something else) but not the linked file. For example, if the linked file is a PDF, under "file type" PDF does not appear, only "All Files" and once the download is complete you have an entry in the desired folder but not the file itself. (This is true even if you append the proper suffix to the file name; no actual file.) Is there a solution here or does it really take several steps to get a downloaded file into the folder of choice?

I just checked a pdf and "Download linked file as" does give me option to save where I want for pdf, jpg files and others.

    cor-el,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

  • Adobe photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work-  the serial number does not work?

    photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work - the serial number given isn't recognised when you enter it when trying to install. the live chat at adobe cannot help and suggested that I may find the answer here. Can anyone help with this?

    Adobe has decommissioned the CS2 activation servers, so your old serial number is no longer usable.
    If you download the special non-activating version of CS2 that Adobe has made available to licensed CS2 users, you MUST also use the new serial number provided by Adobe on that download page:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads
    That S/N does work.  I double checked.

  • I have iMovie '11, and I am unable to access mpeg HD video files that I want to edit.  The files are fine (I can open and watch them using VLC), but I cannot seem to import the files into iMovie. File Import does not work.  Any suggestions??

    More detail: I have a bunch of mpeg HD video files that were shot on a SONY HDR-HC3 Handycam camcorder.  I would like to edit these into a single video production.  I can access and view the mpeg files using VLC (Quicktime does not work with them).  However, I seem to be unable to get the mpeg files to interface with iMovie '11 -- I cannot use the File --> Import command, nor can I drag-and-drop them into iMovie.
    Is there something anyone might suggest to get this to work?  Or are these files incompatible with iMovie?  If so, I assume I must purchase a different video editing software program (e.g. Adobe Premeir Pro).  Suggestions???
    Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration

      Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time  from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each. 
        To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation?  Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet. 
        Thanks

  • Shortcut for downloads window in Safari does not work

    Hi everybody,
    My shortcut for downloads window in Safari (command-option-L) does not work anymore, when i press that combination of buttons, iTunes appears in my screen.
    Can i do something to bring back my shortcut?
    Santiago

    Ok...
    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. Try the keyboard shortcut for the Downloads window. If it didn't help, just move that .plist file back to the Preferences folder.
    Also, go to your Safari menu bar click Safari/Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset. Restart your Mac. That might help too.

  • Java.io.File renameTo does not work on Solaris

    Hi Experts,
    I have a code-piece which tries to move files from one directory to another on the SAME FILE SYSTEM using java.io.File.renameTo method.
    It works fine when there less no. of files in the source directory. But the renameTo does not work as expected when there are very huge no. of files(~40K) present in the source directory.
    I am aware that there is a known issue when one tries to use this method to move files across file systems OR if the file exists at the destination directory.
    But in my case the file system is the same and the there is no such file in the destination directory.
    I suspect some inode related issues. But not sure what it is exactly.
    Is there any limitations of renameTo?
    Please help.

    OK, we all now understand you have a problem in doing this, but without the specifics of the problem that you are experiencing, then it is fairly difficult to give you anything other than a guess. If you would like some specific and relevent answers, please supply specifics about how exactly the operation differs from your expected results. You should also post example code as it is almost always asked for eventually.

  • D-Link 562M modem does not works in Solaris 10 (?)

    I use D-Link 562M external USB 56K modem. Modem works in Windows but does not works in Solaris 10 (?). Help me!

    pat.gibbons wrote:
    Not supported yet but will be in a future Solaris Express release.Many USB modems are not really modems but the entire signal processing is done by the host computer. Such "winmodems" require signal processing software which is quite complex. I do not think that such modems are supported in the following versions of Solaris.
    If the 562M is NOT such a modem (but a "real" one) it should be quite easy to adapt a driver to work with this modem.

  • Jakarta Commons -- File Upload does not work with Application Server

    Hi ALl,
    I tried Jakarta Commons file upload. In the netbeans, I copied the common jar files "commons-io-1.2.jar" and "commons-fileupload-1.1.1.jar" in the
    netbeans-5.5\enterprise3\apache-tomcat-5.5.17\common\lib and set the class paths. It is working correctly when I compile and run from the netbeans. However, when I deployed in Sun Application Server PE 9.0, I am receiving the following errors. In Sun application I copied the above jars files to "C:\Sun\AppServer\jdk\jre\lib\ext"..
    I have read in several postings that it does not work this way but could find any solution. Any idea will be greatly appreciated.

    I solved this few minutes after I posted this question. Thought I should share with everybody, just in case some one else need it.
    I copied these three files in the folder C:\Sun\AppServer\jdk\jre\lib\ext
    1. servelet-api.jar

    No need to set any class path.

  • Desktop software links and menu does not work

    Hi,
    i have a blackberry bold 9000 and installed the latest desktop software 4.6 from the blackberry website.
    my device manager says connected. but if i start desktop manager, i don't see the main header menu (there is just nothing, where the text menu should be) and the icons in the main window does not work as links. there is no connection to anything.
    i have uninstalled all blackberry software and installed it new. i have installed several runtime environments manually, including java and c++. but that makes no difference at all.
    what could be the problem? what runtime is necessary and should working correctly for blackberry desktop manager software? do i need some tweaks in internet explorer security settings (active scripting or something like that) ?

  • Gmail attach file icon does not work

    Is there a way to fix this problem? I tried network.http.spdy.enabled to false. No go. I tried resetting all the settings in ie, per a suggestion somewhere, no go.
    Safe mode - does not work.
    This problem seems to have come from no where. I can drag files into gmail, but the attach file icon does nothing.
    Attach file icon works in IE, but I am trying to use Firefox.
    Is there a fix or do I need a new computer?

    I also have this problem. It just started today out of the blue. Whenever I hit "attach file" in gmail, I never get a "file explorer" popup. Simply nothing happens.
    * I'm running 31.0 on Mac 10.8.5.
    * I have tried resetting firefox several times. I've tried restarting in safe mode multiple times. Nothing will allow the window to appear.
    * I've tried various (old) fixes I found through searching (mostly involving about:config settings) but none worked.
    * Drag and dropping files onto a note DOES work (but this is no solution!).
    * I have cleared the cache several times but to no avail
    * I don't have the stomach (or time) now to completely uninstall and re-install. Not yet anyway.
    * This function works fine in Chrome and Safari
    I finally went and UNCHECKED popup blocking. Now I get the file popup immediately! So it would seem that somehow Firefox is blocking the file "finder" interface as a popup. What gives?
