Download or box?

Trying to decide whether to buy LR directly from Adobe and download it or to order the box (whether from Adobe or Amazon or whoever). Naturally I have a fast Internet connection so downloading a big file isn't a problem. I'm pretty used to downloading commercial software, I'm careful about storing licensing info and I'm capable of burning my own "master" CD for archiving. Is there any reason NOT just to download it? Does anybody know if there's a special prize in the box that I'd miss if I download? (Sorry if that's a silly question. I do have flashbacks occasionally due to extensive Cracker Jack abuse in my youth.)
I might add that I plan to buy one (at least one) of the books already announced. I don't expect that having a printed quick start guide from Adobe will be a big deal for me.

Thanks to everybody who's replied. I have placed my pre-order for the download and now I'm looking forward to getting the email from Adobe telling me I can come and get it.
Note to anybody else who's shopping for Lightroom at the Adobe store: Be careful as you make your choices. The web site asks you if you want the downloaded version when you make the initial selection of the product. After that, there is no indication in the shopping cart listing of which product I was buying. Mattered to me because I had initially placed the boxed edition in the cart; then I added the download. At that point I had what appeared to be two identical products listed in my shopping cart. I deleted one. As I got near the end of the payment process, I was asked for a shipping address, which I thought was odd. I canceled, cleared my shopping cart and started again. This time, when I got to the end, I was NOT asked for a shipping address - which is what I expected. Might be helpful if Adobe listed the products as "Photoshop Lightroom (download)" and "Photoshop Lightroom (box)".

How can I forward next page, and then pop-up a download dialog box.

My require is that pop-up a download dialog box after forwarding next page.
I have read the coding in the processFormRequest of current page like below,
but I find out that it only can pop-up a download dialog box,
however, it can't forward the next page.
pageContext.setForwardURL("OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/xxfm/fm002/webui/TEST001PG",
null,
OAWebBeanConstants.KEEP_NO_DISPLAY_MENU_CONTEXT,
null,
null,
true,
OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_NO,
OAException.INFORMATION);
//set default file name: [YYYYMMDDhhmm_IN.EXCEL,FILE_NAME.csv]
StringBuffer strFileName
= new StringBuffer().append((pageContext.getCurrentDBDate().toString().substring(0, 16))
.replaceAll("-","").replaceAll(" ","").replaceAll(":",""))
.append("_IN.").append(strExcelFileName).append(".csv");
//give csv file content
BlobDomain csvFileBlob = (BlobDomain)am.invokeMethod("createCsvFile");
//setenv
HttpServletResponse response
= (HttpServletResponse)pageContext.getRenderingContext().getServletResponse();
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="+strFileName.toString());
System.out.println("fileName : "+strFileName.toString());
//download
InputStream fileIn = csvFileBlob.getBinaryStream();
long fileLen = csvFileBlob.getBufferSize();
int readBytes = 0;
int totalRead = 0;
byte blockgbyte[] = new byte[65000];
response.setContentType("application/x-msdownload");
response.setContentLength((int)fileLen);
while((long)totalRead < fileLen)
readBytes = fileIn.read(blockgbyte, 0, 65000);
totalRead += readBytes;
response.getOutputStream().write(blockgbyte, 0, readBytes);
fileIn.close();
response.getOutputStream().flush();
I don't know what's matter in the app, can you tell me how to deal with it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I have a similar requirement. User will download search results in a CSV file after which I want either the page to be refreshed or to be able to goto a Confirmation page or navigate to another page.
I tried using setForwardURL / forwardImmediately / redirectImmediately methods as well as redirectToDialogPage. Since we use pageContext.setDocumentRendered(false); and response.getOutputStream().flush(); methods, the HttpResponse is already committed.
Hence, the page does not redirect to another page as Request is processed and Response is complete. In case of methods like setForwardURL A JSP forward redirects the same request object to the target URL.
Can anyone help here to achieve the expected requirement?
Thanks.

How to get file download dialog box in IE 6.0 for .CSV files?

In our Java application, when we download .csv file (by clicking a tool bar button or menu item) in IE 5.5, it brings up the download dialog box and when we click the open button it opens the file in a seperate browser window but after migrating to IE 6.0 it doesn't bring the download dialog box and we are not able to open the excle sheet in a new browser window.
We tried downloading .csv file in IE 6.0 by changing its extension(such as .cs1 and .xls) even then it did not work.We also tried associating CSV type of extension with "Microsoft Excel Comma Separated Values File" in the Windows folder options (Windows Explorer->tools->folder options->file types(tab)), which did not work.
Please respond if you have come across this kind of issue and solution for the same.
Thanks in Advance

This has nothing to do with Java. It's Microsoft
setting for known file type. IE is responding to the
setting which will automatically download known file
type (MIME type).
To show the "Save As" file dialog, you have to do the
following (for each file type)
1. open Window Explorer
2. click on Tool-->"Folder Option"
3. click on the "File Type" tab
4. select the extension and then click on the
"Advance" button
5. Check the "Confirm open after download" checkbox
6. Click OK
IE should now display the "Save As" file dialog for
that extension. Remeber, you have to to this for all
extension you want to see a "file dialog" pop up.Unfortunately this is not the only cause. Even with this box checked, downloading java source files from the pages of The Java Tutorial causes them to open in the most recent IE - I (and others also) don't get the save/open dialog box. Java source files downloaded from (some) other websites result in the save/open dialog box. I believe that one of the security changes that MS made in IE's handling of files is the cause. The setting of content-disposition by the server appears to be the key, according to MSDN information.

Problem With File Download Dialog Box

Hi all,
I have jsp page that allows a user to export oracle data to excel.
I have these code in my page:
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
response.setContentType ("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader ("Content Disposition",
"filename=\"historicalrate.xls\"");
I run the page and it popups a file download dialog box with Open and Save buttons.
When I click the Save button a Save As window opens with a hr.xsl file name and Microsoft Excel Workbook(*.xls) as save type. It is what I want.
The problem I have is when I click the Open button on the file download dialog box it displays data in excel format on a browser well. Then I click File > save as on browser's tool bar the Save As window pop up with no file name and a default Text(tab delimited)(*.txt).
I need the file name and Microsoft Excel Workbook(*.xls) as default save type.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please help
Thanks

Modifying the name of the file in the download dialog box

Hi all!
I've a javascript page that make a pdf document in the fly and download that document. Everything is fine, but I'd like to know how can I modifying the file name in the download dialog box, i.e., when the page display:
"You are downloading the file:
xpto.jsp from ..."
I want to substitute the "xpto.jsp" by "file.pdf".
I've already theses lines:
response.setContentType("Application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="+ nameFile+";");
response.setHeader("Content-Length", ""+stp.length);
but the problem persist.
Note that in the second window, the Save As window, everything is fine, the nameFile appears in the file name box. The problem it's only in the first window, the File Download window.
Thanks for any help,
A. Santos

I've discover something. When the File Download window it's displayed with the following text:
"You are downloading the file:
xpto.jsp from localhost
Would you like to open the file or save it in your computer?
button OPEN button SAVE button CANCEL button MORE INFO"
if I press the OPEN button then another File Download window opens with the rigth text:
"You are downloading the file:
file.pdf from..."!!!
i.e, the text desired!
So the first window is unnecessary and undesired!
How can I remove this first File Download window??
Please help!

File download dialog box problem!

Hi,
How do you force file download message box to use specified file name instead of JSP or servlet name.
I am using:
// code in attachment.jsp
<%
response.setContentType(mimeType.trim());
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\""+attachmentViewBean.getAttachmentName()+ "\"");
%>
With the above code, browser first pop up file download dialog box informing
'You are downloading the file:[attachment.jsp] from host. Would u like to open the file or save?'
I want the file name that I had specified in setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment;filename=resume.doc") to appear(i.e. resume.doc) in above dialog box and not the servlet name.
Any suggestions/tips on this?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Yogesh

For saving the document I have used -
res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename="+ FileName );
and it is working very fine, it saves the document with name specified in FileName
For opening the file in browser without any prompt-
res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline" );
For setting the content type -
try {
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("pdf")) contentType = "application/pdf";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("doc")) contentType = "application/msword";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("rtf")) contentType = "application/msword";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("gif")) contentType = "image/gif";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("jpg")) contentType = "image/jpeg";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("html")) contentType = "text/html";
     if(FileType.equalsIgnoreCase("htm")) contentType = "text/html";
     if(contentType == null){
     contentType="text/plain";
     res.setContentType(contentType);
} catch (Exception e){
          out.println("Exception while setting content type");
          out.println("Exception : " + e);
          return;
Hope this helps

I am a chinese, happy new year everyone!

and the file.size() is semicode, meaning there isnt a function for it. So you might end up with something like this
     response.setContentType( "application/zip" );
     String fileName = Globals.getAttachmentLocation() + readFile;
     response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + fileName);
     BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream = new BufferedInputStream( new FileInputStream( fileName ) );
     ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
     int start = 0;
     int length = 1024;
     byte[] buff = new byte[length];
     while ( bufferedInputStream.read( buff, start, length ) != -1 ) {
          byteArrayOutputStream.write( buff, start, length );
     bufferedInputStream.close();
     response.setContentLength( byteArrayOutputStream.size() );
     response.getOutputStream().write( byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray() );
     response.getOutputStream().flush();

File Download Dialog Box

Hi,
I am creating a site using struts framework. In that one I code one "Download" hyperlink. Which should download Excel file to the client site.
For this I want the Windows File Download Dialog Box to pop up when the user presses the "Download"
hyperlink on the page. This is the dialog box which prompts the user to either open the file or save
the file.
However, instead of File download dialog box, IE opens the text document within itself.
From what I understand, if the Mime Type of the file I am trying to open is registered on the client
workstation, then this dialog box wont pop up as Windows would automatically get the registered Mime
Type from the registry and open the application. For this we need to add headers to http response (content-disposition). Where to add this header info. In JSP, Action classes?
Can somebody help.
Thanks

I am facing a similar problem...however in my case my application is on Tomcat server and when the user clicks the link, he/she sees junk data (excel sheet data) in plain html which makes no sense (with lot of special chars, just like opening any binary file in notepad)
while if i run the application in WSAD then the links work fine....is there any difference in both the servers in the way they treat file download?

File download dialog box events and work around

Hi all,
I have a amall problem.
when i set content type and header for downloading a file which is generated from the server i get a "file download dialog box" (open/save/cancel)
but the problem is i cannot capture the events i.e. if the client clicks 'cancel' since i cannot capture 'cancel' i cannot do some other modifications that need to be done when the file is not downloaded.
is there any way which i can track if the file is actully downloaded by the client or not??
Or is there any way i can just by pass this dialog box and get a "save as dialog box" which enables him to choose a location directly download to his hard drive.(In this case i ll get a javascript confirmation before actully creating the file)
i am using IE6SP1.
Thanks in advance for your support.

Just using JSP/HTML/Javascript code I don't think there is a way to do what you want. You might be able to do so using a Java Web Start application - like a download manager.

Why is my photo downloader dialogue box pixelated?

I have noticed recently that when I take images off a CF or SD card and use Bridge. The photo downloader dialogue box is not very high quality. The text is pixelated and the over all graphic isn't very high quality. I seem to only notice in this section of Bridge. I am working on a retina display mac book pro so it just seems weird when I open that dialogue box it is not very high quality. Is there something wrong or is this normal and the way it is supposed to be?

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,

Urgent!!how to open the file download dialog box????

Hi all,
i'm using the browse button for the user to select the file
and a submit button, which when cliked should open the file
download dialog box asking for open or save.
i searched for so many forums and websites and didn't get the
solution yet.
i'm using jsp.
anyone have the jsp code for the same????
will b more helpful if u send it to me.
thanx in advance.

Hi
Use the Filedialog class.
Let your button call a method wich contains the following Java code:
FileDialog filedialog =
new FileDialog( Frame1.this, "Open a File", FileDialog.LOAD );
//witch calls this constructor: public FileDialog(Frame parent, String title, int mode)
//use Filedialog.SAVE to save a file.
filedialog.show();
String filename = filedialog.getFile();//to display the name of the file
String directoryname = filedialog.getDirectory();// to display the directory name

How do I find installer? When I try to install downloads, the box says that I do not have the Installer I need.

How do I find installer? When I try to install downloads, the box says that I do not have the Installer I need.

If it's updates through the Office auto-updater that are having problems, that's probably an issue you'll need to take up on Microsoft's support site. If you're having problems installing Office from scratch and it's saying it can't find Installer, you may need to repair your hard drive. More help will probably be obtained if you post in the Mac OS X 10.6 forum; this forum, where you originally posted, is for help with the Communities themselves.
