DW Files window closes when application switches

Hello.
Anyone has a clue if it's possible to have windows like the Files window stay visible when switching from DW to another app???
I guess this is the default Adobe application behaviour on Mac, I quite recently switched from PC to Mac and is mostly happy with that, but it's very annoying as my everyday work is PHP coding working with DW sites, and I'm switching working with a browser window and DW all the time on two monitors, and my workspace is dissapearing all the time when I switch to the browser window!!!
Thanks for any suggestions!!!

I use for testing) and the same file causes the same finder behavior.If it is only that file that causes the behavior, have you tried repairing the file by doing a "Save As"?
If it is systemwide it may be some corruption in system files, I would suggest you try the 10.4.8 PPC Combo Update
This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any system files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. It has worked well for many.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

  • Problem creating playlists library window closes when opening new playlist

    library window closes when opening new playlist impossible to drag and drop songs from lib to new playlist

    Hi
    You don't need to open a playlist to drag and drop from your library. Just open the library and drag the selected item or items to the NAME of the chosen playlist (in blue bars on the lower left) and just drop it there. When you hold the items over the playlist name, it will show you a little green dot with a plus sign in it and the number or items being dropped. Then when you are done dragging and dropping you can open the playlist and see that the items were added. Hope this makes sense.
    Good luck!

  • Finder Window closes when File is Deleted in 10.6 Server

    I'm running OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on an XServe serving 50 Mac Pros. I work with two finder windows open in column view with no side bar. This allows me to navigate and move files from any of 50 computers I have mounted to my server to another computer.
    If there is a folder on the Desktop of one of the many computers I'm connected to, and it's the only thing on that Desktop of that computer, when I delete the folder the finder window I deleted the file from closes. In 10.5 my two windows would remain open no matter what I deleted. If there are other things on the Desktop the finder window will stay open when I delete any of the files, unless I delete them all and then the window will close.
    Also if a drive is mounted and I unmount the drive in column view, this will close my finder window as well, even though all my other computers are still mounted in that window. In Leopard (10.5), if I unmounted a drive or deleted files off any computer mounted to my server, that window would remain open.
    Furthermore, in column view with a side bar, when I delete the only folder on a computer's Desktop my finder window will not close, but it will kick me back to the side bar instead of leaving me on the desktop of the computer I was deleting the file off of. This is just about annoying as having the window close, because I still have to navigate back to the computer I was working on.
    I think it's just a new way 10.6 handles this stuff. It seems if there is nothing left in a folder (such as a Desktop) then Snow Leopard assumes you don't need that window open and closes it. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

    By the way, I'm running Snow Leopard Server, not simply Snow Leopard.

  • Distribution Window Closes when entering a large number of Distributions

    When entering distributions (around 20-30 or so, but no specific number) for an invoice, the distribution window closes without warning. The distributions are saved but the process is unreliable. See the attached documents for the errors given.
    The first error is not really an error so much as the message Oracle gives when it is trying to catch up, "Press cancel to end this database operation". This message will linger for about 3-5 seconds then the message along with the distribution window suddenly close.
    When you go to click on the distribution button immediately after the window closes a second error appears: APP-SQLAP-97734: The system cannot generate distributions for line 1 because: Verify line does not contain distributions: line already has distributions"
    There is no specific dollar amount or number of distributions where this error occurs. It does not happen all the time when we have a large amount of distributions but enough to make entering a large amount of distributions a cautious activity slowing data entry.
    Any Ideas?

  • Transaction launcher window closes when ending interaction

    Hi,
    I have created a launch transaction which is launched from a logical link in the navigation bar. The launch transaction is opened in a new window. When the agent presses the End button in Interaction Center, there is a pop-up saying that "there are active launch transactions, would you like to close them automatically?". If chosing OK, the launch transaction window closes, if chosing cancel the interaction is not ended and the launch transaction window is still open.
    Is there a way to end the interaction without closing the launch transaction window?
    Best Regards

  • Maximize Windows using the Application Switcher

    I have my application switcher set to activate when I click the ball on the Mighty Mouse. However if the application I switch to is minimized in the dock, it doesn't maximize it for me. Wondering if anyone would know of a fix for this?

    I've been looking everywhere for a way to change this, or at least disable the shortcut. I have the same problem, but with QuarkXPress. I know that the command originates from the Dock, so I bet there's a way to hack the Dock so it disbles the shortcut...

  • Mail windows close when link accessed

    When I click on a link in an email all Mail windows close and the link opens in Safari. How do I make it not close the Mail windows?

    Hi,
    Does it fix your problem when you log on to another computer? 2 Weeks ago I had exactly the same problem. Helpdesk said it had something to do with my profile. They asked me to first log off from the computer the error occurred, then they told me to log off from the computer which was working fine. Apparantly, the helpdesk did something to my profile next (reset or initialize?). When I logged on to the computer which was causing the problem, the problem was solved....
    Sorry I cannot give you any concrete info on what the helpdesk did... But that's what did it for me...
    Hope your problem is solved soon!

  • Finder window closes when trying to preview AVI file.. cant open file.

    just bought a Nikon D90 that shoots HD video. After uploading the video's I shot to my iMac I am unable to open them. Going through the finder window.. once I click on the file and it starts to work for the preview the window will just close with no explanation. If I try to open the file from the desktop it causes quicktime to crash. Even right clicking on the file and clicking 'get info' causes the info window to open and immediately close.
    I've restarted the computer... tried to upload the videos again but to no avail. The file size is 117.8MB.. but I dont think that should affect it.
    The videos uploaded fine to youtube.

    I think it's a good idea to check with Nikon; while you're talking to them, ask what format their cameras' videos are - from what I've read, AVI is not the actual format it's recorded in, but I'm not an expert on that - see the link to the Wikipedia article:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AudioVideoInterleave
    Also try to shoot another video in a lower resolution - don't process or do anything to it with the camera, just take out the SDHC card and see if that'll work. I suggested the MPEGStreamclip because if you can drag it into that app, you could immediately convert it to a .mov or .dv file and that should work with either Quicktime, iMovie, or whatever.
    At this point, you also might want to consider trashing any preference file of any application you've tried using with that video just in case any of them have become corrupted.

  • File menu disappears when I switch applications.

    Hello,
    I recently purchased Illustrator and I have a bizarre problem with the menu bar.
    In Illustrator, whenever I switch to a different application on my PC, e.g. switch to Outlook or Excel which are already running, the file menu disappears!
    As I hover my mouse over where the menu should be, it comes back bit at a time.
    Has anyone encountered this before?
    I’m on a laptop running Win7 in x64.
    Kind regards,
    -Will.

  • Finder window closes when previewing video

    Hi,
    When browsing through my pictures I occasionally come across videos that I've taken on my camera. In the past Finder would show me a preview panel for the currently selected video. Now my computer pauses for a moment and then closes the Finder window.
    Anybody have a solution?
    Matt
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hello,
    I think I'm having the same problem, I can no longer view any of the .avi videos that i have taken with my camera. and they used to work before. It does the same thing when i try. Finder pauses for a second and then re-opens. Also, when i attempt to open the video from iPhoto, it loads Quicktime for a second and then gives me the "Quicktime has quit expectantly" routine.
    Furthermore, Quicktime seems to have a hard time running any .avi files. when i attempt to open them it takes several minutes to load and the fan speeds up during this time. after it finally loads it seems to work fine.
    I have tryed deleting thos two files in the finder prefs. but it still does not work. any help would be great.

  • File window closes with link pointer

    When I use my link pointer to point to a file, the folder tree window abruptly closes. What is causing this, and how can I prevent it happening? Thanks!

    Which version of DW? Which operating system?

  • All open windows close when another one is opened

    Running OSX10.6.7
    Recently the window behavior has changed, now when a different active app is selected, all the windows from other active apps become hidden
    if one holds the Option key when selecting a new app or a hidden window in an open one, the new window opens and the old ones remain on screen but not active
    this behavior is new, perhaps coincident with the latest snow leopard update
    I suppose that I may have triggered this change by some accidental combination of key strokes 
    I prefer that the act of opening a new window not affect the other open windows
    is this behavior controlled by a preference pane somewhere, or some combination of key strokes or by one of those programs such as Macpilot or Tinkertool, although I do not recollect deliberately changing anything

    It's a hidden Dock preference. You can change it in TinkerTool, or launch the Terminal application, copy or drag -- don't type -- the following text into the window, and press Return:
    defaults write com.apple.dock single-app NO
    You may have to relaunch the Dock or log out for it to take effect, I'm not sure.

  • Microsoft Office Files Auto Launch when Application is Opened

    Every time I launch Excel I have several files that auto launch.  I have searched for these files using spotlight and see that these files have somehow gotten saved with the application.  With the open file I go to File>Properties>General Tab it shows the location of the file (see below).  However, in Finder when I try to find this location I am unable to.  When I go to /Users/BTaylor/ there is no Library.  I must go to the hard drive to locate Library.  Then once in Library when I select Application Support/Microsoft/  there is no Office.  I know it has to exist.  Anyone have any ideas how I find this location in Mavricks?

    Hi Kappy, I do not have that option in Excel Preference. 
    Here is the version of MS Office I am running:
    Also, your image came through as a .png file and I was only able to view in Preview, not in the discussion box.

  • Firefox loses window focus when I switch Windows user accounts

    If I have Firefox running in one Windows account and switch to another account (where I don't use Firefox) and then switch back to the account where Firefox is running, and then I open a new Firefox window, Firefox loses focus (in other words, I cannot use the new window unless I first bring it back into focus on the Desktop.) ...and, no, it is not a Windows issue, as other program behave a expected. It's just Firefox that does this. Highly annoying, btw.

    How do you open that new window?
    Is that by clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut or via the Firefox File menu or a toolbar button?
