Emacs opening files and lisp

I have been playing around with emacs for the mac. I usually use it from the command line, but I would also like to use it from the GUI so I can get rid of the text editor and word. I have set it so that text files open emacs, but it opens emacs with the scratch buffer and not the actual file, how can I get emacs to open the file from finder?
Does this have anything to do with the lisp directory/file? What is the lisp? I get the following message when I open files from the command line with emacs. I have set up the following alias
alias emacs='/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs'.
"Warning: Lisp directory `/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/share/emacs/site-lisp' does not exist."
Thanks

Hi Nils, I have tried both ways to open emacs, and the both work the same, they both give the same warning too. Thanks for the lisp link, I didn't realise the lisp is an AI programming language, I don't know if it is the same thing or not? I do know that my work computer (Mandrake Linux) has an extensive lisp file that contains all sorts of things that I assume tell emacs how to work ie, which syntax to highligh for a program language that I use at work, and how to integrate LaTeX etc. It does say not to blindly copy it too, so it probably won't work on my mac. I was wondering if anyone had any idea about how/where to create the lisp file, and what to put in it.
Hi Don, I did look at that emacs, but I use the emacs on aqua one instead. I have just looked at it again, and it might be a better option. Do you know if there is a way to remove the icons at the top of the page? I don't like the appearance, thanks

My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy.... google...." fcpx time machine problem" Frist page link

You cannot have time machine backups on your hard drive if you intend to use it in FCPX.

I don't work for Adobe but it seems to me you might be signing in to Acrobat with the wrong Adobe ID.
Check the Adobe ID you use in Acrobat.

File Server Role: Slow access for "opened files" and slow Explorer browsing

Since we migrated our fileserver from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 we are facing two major problems:
1. Opening files which are already opened by other users takes about 1 minute before the file actually opens. This is not only for Office files such as Excel and Word, but also for other (not office) files. Again, this problem only rises when the file(s)
is/are already opened by another user. There seems to be a sort of "Lock" check time which is about 45 to 60 seconds.
2. The other problem is browsing via Explorer through the network drive (all clients are Windows 7 clients). Half of the time there is some kind of "hick up" with displaying the results of the folder. I cannot figure out a patern, but if there
is no "hick up" then browsing is very fast (also in the busiest times of the working day)... If there is a "hick up" the result can take about 50 seconds to display the content of a folder.
I suspect the SMB implementation / settings of Windows Server 2012 which are causing the problems...
Things I tried:
1. Changed the Oplocks wait time to 10 seconds (which is the minimum). The result is that openening files does indeed go some faster (still taking about 45 seconds).
2. Disabled SMB2: the result is that browsing is fast... Opening files does go faster. BUT: we are then facing other problems like some files are not able to open... This setting was, after getting a lot of complaints from the users, changed back to enabled
SMB2.
3. Within the NIC card properties I disabled "QoS packet Scheduler", "Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver", "Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder" and IPv6 (as we only use IPv4).
All above with not the promising results.
The server is a dedicated (virtual machine on vSphere 5.1) fileserver.
Please Advice since this is not workable, and we have postponed the migration of the fileserver for our aother location.

Hi Dave,
I suggest you disable all third party applications like Anti-Virus application to test if it could reduce the waiting time when accessing a file.

Close ALL open files and save jpg with jpg option

Hi,
I have some (a lot) of -jpg images to crop, and resize, while I have to do this one by one based on what portion of the image to crop, once done I need to close, and save them.
To speed up the process I open several files, and do the crop&resize, and when finished I use "close all", and would like to avoid to confirm the "save" dialogue, and the "jpeg options" "image quality option" dialogue, having to say save, and the option set to a given value.
Unfortunatelly I am not a coder, and didn't understand anything from the Javascript Scripting Reference guide.
I found this
app.docRef.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);
here, I pasted it into ExtendScript, saved it, but when opening the script from file > scripts > browse it returns error 21 (undefined is not an object)
Will you please kindly give me the script?
Thank you

Add this snippet to a script file.
Load script file in PS scripts folder
Restart photoshop
Assign keyboard shortcut to script
#target photoshop
//Make Photoshop the formost Appplication
app.bringToFront();
// Requires at least one open document
while (app.documents.length > 0)
//Save all open windows
{activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);}

Deleted the app in the dock that compiles all your open files and fans them out as icons. What is it and how do I get it back?

When I bought my macbook pro, I deleted the app in the dock that complies all your open files together. When you click on the app it fans all the icons out. What is that app called and how do I find it again/get it back??
Thanks!

okay... got that...but before I deleted it, it would "fan" all my open web pages, or open PDF files. So they were in a little folder as opposed to lined up beside my trash bin?
make any sense?

How can I get the cursor's position in a opened file and display a menu?

Hello,
I want to make a program by which I will be able to display a panel/pops up menu at the corsor's current position, (In any text/doc file or in the desktop, we can display a menu by right click of the mouse.) Now I want my program to do the same task.
More clearly-
1. First I would save some words or sentences in a file(aa.txt).
2. Then I would open another text file/ a word/ excel/ or any other editor( bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html ).
3. While editing or writing something in the opened file, if I click the right mouse button/ press a key (ctrl+space), a menu will appear containing the sentences I saved in the file(aa.txt) previously.
My program will tell me the cursor's position in bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html that i opened. And display a menu. my problem is not reading / writing in a file.
My problem is how can I get the cursor's position in a opened file display a menu at that position by a mouse/key action*.
Would you please help me on this regard.
Thanks

I have a file that was created in FH 11 and I am using same version.Originator opens file and everything is fine and also earlier version opens it fine.when I open it the links shift 1/8" up and left.Has anybody had this happen to them

I have a file that was created in FH 11 and I am using same version.Originator opens this file and everything is fine and also an earlier version opens it fine.When I open it it shifts the links 1/8" up and to the left.Has anybody ever had this happen to them?

What file format(s) are the "links"?
If raster images, do they contain clipping paths or transparency?
What is your platform and OS?
Were the FH documents created on the same platform (Mac or PC) as the one you are currently using?
Were the linked files created on the same platform (Mac or PC) as the one you are currently using?
Can you reproduce the problem with a newly created document and the same linked images?
There was once an issue with transparent 1-bit TIFF images shifting, but I believe that was in a previous version of FH.

Opening files and viewing the text

I'm trying to write a method to open a .doc file and display the text to screen, the program runs but nothing appears on the screen. Is the code below the correct way or is it flawed.
class Open implements ActionListener
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
               try {
               JTextPane view = app.setScreen();
             BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("outfilename.doc"));
             String str;
             while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
             view.setText(str);
        in.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
     }

Hard to tell why you aren't getting any output without more of the program.
One thing I see is that this classes replaces the text of JTextPane with the last string read from the file. If the last string were a blank line then you would have nothing to show.
If you are assuming this is a reasonable size document then you might consider appending each line read into as StringBuffer then set the text of the JTextPane to the contents of the StringBuffer after the reaches then end.

Flash CS5 ِAn error occurred opening file and WinRar The archive is either in unknown format or damaged

I have fla files and when I opened by flash cs5 11.5.1 it says "An error occurred opening file". I tried sure to make it rar or zip and repair it. When I opened by WinRar it says "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged"
Please Please Please Help ME !!!!! .. I have been done a lot of work on it .. I am so tired .. Please Help Me Please

do you have a working swf?
if so, you can decompile it and recover some or all your work.
if not, are you able to rename the fla to a rar and then unrar it?

Can't Open file--and then ALL backups also will not open. SEVERE BUG

After losing 2 FULL day's work to files that inexplicably and suddenly would not open, I read discussion board questions and rebuilt the entire presentations from Keynote, instead of starting with PowerPoint imports.
However the same thing happened. Worse, when it happens, ALL THE BACKUPS THAT I HAD BEEN SAVING ARE ALSO NOT ABLE TO OPEN. How can that be?
I have had it with Keynote. If I could get my money back I would.
But I'd pay a *lot more* money to have never heard of the program and not have wasted now four full day's work...gone.

I am using Keynote 2.0.2, and after installing Mac OS X 10.4.6, I have been unable to open either of 2 Keynote files I have tried to open since the installation. I am hesitant to try opening any other presentations, though I may copy other presentations to a safe place and then trying. I get a message each time that the file may not be opened "because it is damaged." I tried deleting the Keynote preferences file and reinstalling Keynote, but I could still not open the prior presentations. I don't know if this is a 10.4.6 issue or a Keynote issue, but I thought I would mention it. I am nervous about using Keynote again until I hear what is causing the problem and knowing there is a fix, especially if others are having the same problem...

It's probably fseventsd, but I don't know of any easy way of tying into it without coding up something or using something designed for that purpose. I have to imagine there's something out there (in the audit space) that will do close to what you want. Maybe something like:

When clicking File on top of this page a dropdown box shows Open File and when doing so many old downloads are there. How can I delete the entire batch at once.

When I click on Filed(in upper left hand corner of screen) a drop down box appears which includes several choices including Open File. When I click on Open File it shows many old downloads which I don't want or need to save. I can delete them individually but there are many many of them. Can someone give me guidance on how to deleter them all at one time. Thanks my friends.

hello cardavfl, i think in the open file dialog in the windows file picker you only can select one item at a time.
it would be better to look at the top of the file dialog ("look in:") where this folder is located on your harddrive & then use windows explorer & go to this path - then you can press ctrl+a to select all items at once (or use the mouse to select them all) and to delete them ...

it possible to:

"Open Project" and then "Jump to slide"... but no luck so far.

Hi KerryWilson
I'm not sure about the "Almighty" part.
Although my perspective of God is quite different
than most. But I digress...
Since nobody else has jumped on your post, I'll give it a
shot. I figured Steve or one of the others that are more
comfortable with the new scripting features of Captivate 4 might
have a solution. Not sure if the silence means they are busy with
other things or if it simply means it can't be done.
So there might be something you can do using scripting and
variables to accomplish it. Jury is still out on that one.
oddrhythm has posted their question in many places. Different
threads in these forum categories as well as in the new community
help. In one post I did actually offer a possible workaround by
combining JavaScript and variables to accomplish what they wanted.
Seems possible but they are wanting something quite different to
what you asked about.
Cheers... Rick
