Exe that will open a file when it's double clicked in explorer.

Can you make an exe with labview 6.1 that will open a file when it's double clicked in explorer.
I want to be able to save images with my own extension, and when they are double clicked in explorer my own exe will open and process the image.

It's easier in 7.0 or higher but you can do it with 6.1. Download the file at http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B123AE0CBBD5111EE034080020E74861&p_... and add this to your VI. Then you can associate a specific file extension with your app in the Windows Folder Options>File Types so that double clicking the file will start your app and pass the file name as a parameter.

  • NVIDIA Tools now not working with PS CC, is there any other add-on besides NVIDIA that will open .DDS files in photoshop?

    I had no problems with CS6 PS, but since I upgraded to PS CC, NVIDIA Tools is now not working and crashes when I try to reinstall the plug-in into PS CC. I checked NVIDIA's forums and found ZIP from them about this problem. So I am asking in here, is there another plug-in that will open .DDS files in PS? I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 for the OS, and I know the PS CC is 32 bit. Until I can resolve this issue, I am unable to do repaints of PMDG aircraft for my VA. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I had a similar issue but i solved it following the instructions explained here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bu … l.2FNVIDIA.
    I also reccomend you to install the bbswitch package which disables NVIDIA discrete graphics card when isn't used.

  • Can I create a link in a text cell that will open another file?

    I am creating a template in Numbers that I can use to log meeting session data, such as length, date, notes of the meeting content, action items and then also have a field (cell) for links to outside documents relevant to the meeting or client.  I see how I can create a link to a webpage or an email, but not to another file on my hard drive, so that when I am in the file and reviewing notes, I can just click to open the items being referred to.
    Does that make sense?
    Thanks,
    Cliff

    Well, if you specifically know the name of the application in question and how it accepts parameters, you can try using Runtime.exec()
    If you're willing to sacrifice platform independence (which it sounds like you are, since you specifically mentioned Explorer), you can try using the NTVDM "call" command, which taps into the file associations in the registry and launches the appropriate application.
    I guess it would depend on the exact functionality you want. :)

  • Looking for a zip application that will open rather than extract zip files

    In OS X, the built-in operation for zip files is that when you double-click on one, os x extracts the whole thing to a new folder. I am looking for an application that will open zip files without extracting them - what winzip does in Windows. Are there any apps that will do this in os x?

    Try Zipeg - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • Can't Open Files Or Folders By Double Clicking on Its Icon

    I'm unable to open any file or folder by double clicking on its icon whether the icon is on my desktop or in a folder.
    For example, I can't open my hard disk or any DMG file on desktop by double clicking on its desktop icon, but I can open it or any file or folder by control-clicking on the icon and then clicking on 'open'.
    In my Finder, If I double click on an item in 'list' I can open it and in' columns' if I double click on an icon in 'preview' it will open/ launch and in 'cover flow' if I select an icon and double click on it there the file will open/launch.
    I've repaired permissions, 'verified disk' in Disk Utility (no problems found),
    run Disk Warrior as well as Applejack but the problem persists.... I just can't open by double clicking.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Pretty weird...but I think I've heard of it before. I have no direct answer, but when weird stuff like this happens, I think of trying things like:
    -boot from OSX DVD and check operation
    -Time Machine backup
    -Safe Boot - might correct something
    -log out of user account and/or log into another user account, and see if doubleclick returns
    -and the usual SMC/PRAM reset
    I'm assuming you've diddled with the mouse/trackpad settings. Did you try a mouse?

  • Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail.  Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

    Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically?   I've tried PDF and Word, but PDF worked only in Mail.  Word worked in nothing.  I also tried copying and pasting the document but lost all formatting when just copied and pasted in email.  Is there a way to do this?

    Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
    What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

  • CS4 will not open Nikon D7000 NEF files; Is there a DNC that will open them?

    I have CS4 and Light Room 2
    Apparently there is no Camera Raw update for the new Nikon D7000 NEF files for CS4.
    I therefore down loaded the Adobe Digital Negative Converter Verson 6.3.0.79 which is compatible with Camera Raw 5.4 or later. 
    Using that DNC, when I do step 1, "Select the images to convert" I get the message "No items match your search".  It apparently is not recongnizing the D7000 NEF files.
    Is there another DNC that will open and convert the D7000 NEF files?

    I just bought the d7000 yesterday and was experiencing the same issue with cs4. I downloaded the DNG converter from adobe and selected the whole folder where the raw files were located (I was unable to select individual images) and it worked fine. It processed the files one by one with new name (without the $500 CS5 pricetag for now). The DNG files open in bridge and psd. Perhaps try selecting the folder?  Good luck.

  • What software will convert .MTS files to something that will open in Final Cut Express?

    I need a reccomendation for a software that will convert .MTS file to a file type that Final Cut Express HD will recognize.

    Thanks for your reply, Martin.
    What I'm doing is converting an .MTS file to .mp4 using HandBrake. FinalCut Express opens the .mp4 files (sometimes) but they have pixellation with huge squares all over the screen. I'm guessing it has to do with keyframes. So that's why I'm trying to convert it. When I open the .mp4 file in QuickTime in order to Export as QuickTime Movie I select these options for AIC:
    This is what the QT Inspector window shows for each:
    mp4 file
    mov file
    Format
    MPEG-4(Perian), 1920x1080, MIllions, AAC, Stereo (LR), 48,000 kHz
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (LR), 48,000 kHz, Apple Intermediate Codec, 1440x1080 (1888x1062), Millions
    FPS
    29.97
    30.33
    Normal Size
    1920 x 1080 pixels
    1888x1062 pixels
    The problem is, I'm only guessing which settings to use. Is there information somewhere that spells that out? Should I be doing something different when I convert the .MTS file in the first place?

  • How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?

    How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?
    An app changed it to some other search engine, before installing the app, I the tab that would open was the homepage I set.
    In my case it is Google, and I want my new tabs to open on Google like they did before the installation.
    thank you,
    Asaf Privman.

    You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at one of these extensions:
    * NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    * New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

    If you have a tablet that runs full Windows 8 - not Windows 8 RT, which is limited.
    And if you install the full Adobe Reader for Windows, not the special Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8.
    Then you will have the same features as a desktop.
    Unless they can't be accessed in touch mode, since it isn't a touch app.

  • OK, I need to be able to have a linked TOC, and also have destinations created in FM10 that will not be lost when I 1. Save the book as a PDF. then 2.  need the PDF to be as small as possible, but without losing my destinations. Anyone know how to do that

    OK, I need to be able to have a linked TOC, and also have destinations created in FM10 that will not be lost when I 1. Save the book as a PDF; then 2. I need the PDF to be as small as possible, but without losing my destinations. Anyone know how to do that??
    I had been saving as a PDF and then reducing the size of the PDF by printing it as a PDF with a degree of image compression. I write manuals with a LOT of screen captures and line art that needs to be clear. So it is a balancing act between image clarity and PDF size. The PDFs on the web need to be smaller - sure you can undertsand.
    Anyway, when I print the PDF again, I lose both my destinations and bookmarks.
    Anyone know of any way to avoid that?

    Control the images by creating a custom PDF Job Options and then selecting it in the PDF Job Options drop-down of the PDF setup dialog box (File > Save as PDF...)
    Create the custom PDF Job Options file with Distiller. If you do not have Distiller, open the Printing Preferences of the Adobe PDF printer. Start with the Smallest File Size Job Options settings and Edit.

  • Are there any digital/video frames that will play .mov files?

    are there any digital/video frames that will play .mov files?

    Hi
    Not understanding Your Question - I can only guess
    .mov - are no specific Video Format (Codec) it is a container (read folder) and can hold Codecs many program can use and NOT.
    QuickTime Player use to open many of them - try this and if it opens then Open Inspector [ cmd + I ] and read
    • Video Format (Codec): nnnnnnnnnn
    • Frame Rate: yyyyyyy
    What does they say
    When QT-Players don't open - I use VLC-Player (Google it and download for free). It use to take most of the Codecs.

  • Is there a way to open a file when it says it needs DMR?

    Is there a way to open a file when it says it needs DMR?

    Maybe you can let her play on your computer where it may be easier to restrict what she can do, provided there's an OS X equivalent. Of course supervision is probably the safest solution until she is old enough to understand she shouldn't do anything that's not permitted. But then she'd probably be old enough not to need to learn her ABSs.
