Download Linked File Save As interference with the Dock

I have two LCD monitors running at 1440 x 900 (the OS recognizes these LG monitors and establishes the resolution). It seems when I switch to 800 dpi vertical the problem disappears.
When I am on a web-site and Right-Click to save a file (Download Linked File Save As) option, the tab that Safari opens is so large that the SAVE and CANCEL options are behind the Dock Icons. This is very annoying as I usually move the Safari Window to the second monitor on the left in order to save the file.
Is there a way to have Safari recognize the higher resolution?
Thanks,
Rob

HI,
Is there a way to have Safari recognize the higher resolution?
I don't think so Rob.
Possibly... Command - or + as you need it.
will reduce or increase the size of the page first, then try.

Safari "Download Linked File As ..." dialog box seems to convert 3 or more consecutive period chars (\056) in the new file name into a Unicode ellipsis char \342\200\246 in the file name. How prevent this ?

I know nothing about “EndNote”, but allow me to give you some general advice. Your first, commented-out, line (“--section to wait for window to pop up”) indicates that you need to change the basic way you are tackling what you want to do. When writing any script, if you know the name and location of a file or a directory (folder) you should not cause (or allow, or need) your script to open an Open or a Save window -- just use the path that you already know.

I am trying to save a document with the new pages and it will only save as a zip file any ideas on how to change this?

I am trying to save a document with the new Pages and it is only saving as a ZIP file anyone know how to fix this or choose a different file type?

Take a look at the FileSelector
First make sure the FileSelector is expanded so you can see the directory and sidebar. That's what the little disclosure triangle up by the filename is for. Once the FS has been expanded to look like the above picture, look to see what subdirectory has been selected. Use the SideBar to select an appropriate one.

When I downloaded pics from my camera to iPhoto it put them in a file that was named with the download date. Can I do that with Aperture (as the download default)?

I recently replaced iPhoto with Aperture. When I download pics into Aperture they are place in a file that's called "Untitled Project." When I downloaded pics from my camera to iPhoto they were put in a file that was named with the download date (YYYY MM DD). Can I do that with Aperture (as the download default)?

My apologies.
When I import I have an Applescript that stores the images in a year month day folder-project structure so I haven;t used the default Aperture behavior in some time. When I tested it out to reply to you I was doing it from the file system and it picked up the date from the folder. mea culpa.
Anyway the closest you can get is to have Aperture split the images by date. IN the Aperture preferences set the project split granularity
Autosplit into Projects
and then in the import window set
Automatically split projects.
This will give projects named Month Day, Year (ie: Mar 13, 2012) there is no way to change this
As I said I have a script that runs on import and sets up a structure like:
Of course many here will say not to name projects this way, that Aperture has the ability to sort by date and you're better off naming projects something more meaningful. For them that is true and it might be for you also. For me I like to store my masters this way, it works for the way I shoot.

"Download Linked File As" in Gmail saves as "mail"?

If I receive an email in Gmail that has a document attached, such as a PDF, and right-click on it, and choose Download Linked File As... its name shows as "mail". Is there a setting or such so that it shows the actual name of the attachment instead of "mail"? In Firefox it works correctly, just in Safari it says "mail".
Thanks!,
Wesley

What happens when you try?

How can you keep the file name when using "Download Linked File As..."?

I'm a longtime PC user finally making the transition to Mac. Some of the tasks that seemed so simple in Windows have really stumped me! One of the tasks I do frequently is download files into specific folders. After much looking, I finally found the "Download Linked File As..." option if I right-click on the download link. The problem is, when I choose this option, I lose the file name. I get a window in which I can choose the desired folder, but the filename is always "0". If I want to keep the filename (and I usually do), I have to type it in manually. Is there anyway around this?

You can post a screen shot by clicking on the liitle Camera icon above your reply. :)
Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

"Download Linked file as..." loses filename

I'm having a problem saving gmail attachments. "Download linked file as..." works fine, but the filename defaults to "0"! How can I get the original filename in the "save" box? I just want to save the attachment directly to a drive of my choosing with its original filename. I know I can open the doc and save from there, but I'd prefer a solution rather than workarounds!
I'm on Maverick and using Safari to access Gmail.

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.

"Download linked file as" Error in Safari 8.0.2

When I select "Download linked file as" I see a pop-up window that does not include the actual file name or extension that I am trying to download.
For example, I right click on a link to a .pdf file on a Web site. The resulting pop-up window reveals the following in the Save As field: xid-52654843_1.
This xid prefix is constant, regardless of the file I am trying to download. It has nothing to do with the name of the actual file.
When I use Chrome the feature works fine. The file name and extension of the .pdf file is filled in the Save As field.
Thanks for your help!

Are you running any Safari extensions that modify the toolbars?
I have the download button in 8.0.2:
It set up that way under Mavericks and Safari seems to have kept the same settings for YO when I upgraded last week.
and this is supposed to reveal the download button on my toolbar?
Take a breath! I believe Dominic is giving you good advice. The download button may not appear until you actually download some to go into the Downloads folder--worth a try.

"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?

My goal: "convert into pdf" -- the file is instantly saved with the same name as pdf. feasible?

Good evening dear experts,
i use Adobe Acrobat 9 pro extend to convert word, ppt, jepgs etc. into pdfs.
No if i
1) convert a ppt into a pdf: it asks --> "save as" --> converts --> opens the file
2) convert a jpeg into a pdf: it instantly --> opens the file as pdf --> i need to save it manual under "save as"
In both cases i want to
my goal: "convert into pdf" --> the file is instantly saved with the same name as pdf
WITHOUT asking me "save as" + "opening of the file".
Is the possible, and if yes, HOW ?
A fast answer is very very much appreciated, for i have to convert hundreds of files tonight in order to get it into 1 pdf
Thx and greetings from Germany,
Julia

We are nearly there!
A] - righclick "convert-to-method": @Bill: thx again, your approach worked for ppt, doc-files etc.
2 problems:
1) exception: for jpegs/bmps it doesn't work (the file is still opened after conversion, strange).
2) the output-folder. it only accepts the standard "output-folder documents/*.pdf" (which is a step further but not my end-goal). If i choose another output-folder via "browse", this setting is NOT SAVED (even after clicking on "accept" + "ok").
my goal: the the file should be automatically saved in THE SAME folder the original file is in (seems that can't be achieved and the standard folder is the only thing where to convert in?).
Personal background for understanding: i have many folders with several ppts in it. Once i send it out to a customer, i always have to convert it into a pdf. thats why i want to save time (i know that i can convert it directly + send per mail, but i want an up-to-date copy of the pdf in the folder as well).
B] - "the automated solution"- @Sandeep:
i just watched your link http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-tips-and-tricks/automating-tasks-in-acrobat/
about batch processing and i think its really helpful if i want to convert ALL of the files in one folder.
1 question regarding this: are the subfolders also affected?
As i understood from the video, i choose 1 "watched folder" and a "destination folder" (can be the same). E.g i have 1 big folder "designs" with many subfolders. I create a batch converting ppts to pdf to "the same folder" Once i run my batch, it converts ppts in the chosen folder "designs" + all subfolders into the same folder, right?
If this is the case, i get too many pdfs, for i only need the latest ppt-version to be converted (copies of old ppts are also in the files) ;(.
Do you have an idea how can i solve this?
Now we are very near to the end-solution of my goal:
i need this option "to the same folder" in my general settings when i convert a file via right-click. ATM it only works with the standard-folder documents/*.pdf
In A], my files are now instantly saved with the same name in 1 specific folder. I would be completely happy, if this folder would be alwys the same as the one with the original file (and not 1 specific folder)
2nd problem with a]: it does not apply to picture files (bmp, jpegs..)
So if we could solve this, i would be a completely happy girl
Guys, you are great, thx again for the whole struggle with my concerns!!

Download Linked File in Mavericks Gone

Where in the world is "Download Linked File" when you right click in Mavericks Mail? Has this feature been removed? I used this feature constanty.

Yes I see what you are saying.
If it is a downloadable file like zip it should download if you click on it.
If it is a pdf link for example you click it and it opens in Safari automaticly. Here you can command P for print but then save as PDF option.

"Download linked file as".....

Whenever I use Safari 8 on Yosemite to download a file from OWA (Outlook Web Access) via "Download linked file as".....the file downloads as Attachment.ashx (this happens as well using "Download linked file".
This does not happen when using Firefox, Chrome or IE.
Anyone else having this issue and if so have you been able to fix it?
Thanks

hmm... clicking on both opens up the Save As dialog, which you can change the filename.
anyhow, doesnt matter.

Download linked file contextual missing ellipsis

Under Tiger 10.4.2 Safari 2.0 and 2.01 (on two macs a G4 QuickSilver & G4iMac) the contextual menu item DOWNLOAD LINKED FILE no longer has an ellipsis.
In prior OS or prior Safari versions the command via the ellipsis and a further dialog, allowed user to choose the download location on the fly. Now it is just auto downloaded to the SET download location defined in the preferenes (primarily used before for SAVE operations). Not fun if you wish to save a file to a different location on the fly as it worked before.
Apple can you add/put that feature back?

Wow! Thanks. An answer just 17 minutes after I posted the question. Many thanks. It WORKS too.
My daughter had the problem & I could not figure it out or find an answer. Spent 3 days mucking about. I guess I have lost too many neurons in my brain!
Thanks again.

I can't download linked files on mac osx lion what do i do?

i can't download linked files on mac osx lion what do i do?

There have been some reported problems with Apple's servers.
Try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
I assume you are trying to update via wifi. You can also connect the iPad to your computer and update using iTunes.
 Cheers, Tom
