External files opening behind the projector

I have used 'baOpenFile' function to open some external files
(pdf, pps etc). In most computers everything works great, but in
some computers the file opens behind the projector (which is in
full screen mode), and user doesn't see that the file has opened.
To solve this problem I have used
'baWindowToBack(baWinHandle())' to send the projector window back
before the external file opens. It works, but it's ugly solution
(especially if there's many windows open on desktop). Does anyone
know why external files open behind the projector, and is there a
better way to fix the problem than the one that I've used?

Instead of sending the Director window to the back, it may be
better to
bring the new window to the front. That will bypass the issue
of other
windows appearing over the Director window.
I do not know why this happens, and I have seen it in action
many times
myself. It is annoying, but easily worked around.

"Ghost' file opening behind other files

Mac OS 10.7.3
After a few hours of working in CS6 I find that file opens behind the files that I'm currently working on.
This file always carries the name of a previously opened file, but it has no content; it has a white background but no layers - not even a background layer. No matter how many times I close it down, as soon as I start to work on another file it's back up again.

Sounds like it could be a GPU driver isssue.
Could you include your System Info from Photoshop's Help > System Info dialog box?
You could also try disabling OGL in the GPU preferences
Photoshop menu > Preferences > Performance
Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor"
Let us know how it goes!

IE 8 causes some windows to open behind the current page

Boy, this is a weird one!
We have just upgraded a few of our machines to Internet Explorer 8 (from 7) and our intranet site - whihc works perfectly on 7 - has developed a few "oddities."
When the user clicks a link that opens a document, the document appears in the foregound - that is, in front of the page where the user clicked the link. This is a good thing.
However, when the user clicks a link that opens Window Explorer to display a directory's contents, it opens behind the page where the user clicked the link. If the browser is full screen, the only clue the user has that the link opened is the task bar. As you can imagine, how many times do users actually look at the task bar? Instead, they assume the link is broken and call for support.
In IE7, both types of links opened in the foreground, and that is what we want to continue happening. And no, changing to a different browser isn't the answer. We are stuck with IE8.
The links are coded like this:
<a href=\\System Directory\Folder\Folder\" target="_blank">See the Folder</a>
<a href=\\System Directory\Folder\Folder\Document.pdf" target="_blank">See the Document</a>
Our operating system is XP Professional. We have not installed any add-ons for IE8. We haven't been able to determine if the problem is IE8, Win XP, or out ColdFusion code.
Please help!

One thing it is definitely not, is CF. This is browser behaviour, a CF doesn't run on the client machine.
This can be demonstrated easily:
<a href=\\System Directory\Folder\Folder\" target="_blank">See the Folder</a>
<a href=\\System Directory\Folder\Folder\Document.pdf" target="_blank">See the Document</a>
Save this as an HTML file (like: with an HTML extension), and browse to it, and click the links. You will probably see the same behaviour with the HTML file as you do with a file processed by CF.

Compact all external files in a single projector

a
single projector? that have the same function of zinc , i can
put all
external files in a library and when i execute the
application unpack all
files in a directory

Great Work Kali. Thanks for sharing
One small doubt. Whenever I decompile some .class files. I find that the .java files doesnt compile properly
for example
throw new OAException(e.getMessage(), 0);
here it gives a compilation error like couldnt find new OAException(String,int) , where actually it is expecting byte
Also some times Class Names are not correctly decompiled like
Serializable a[]={a};
it decompiles as
Object a[]={a};
is there is a solution for this ? Also wanted to check if your decompiler decompiles the .class file into .java files without any such errors...
Many thanks for sharing such useful script

Spring-loaded folders open BEHIND the main finder window.

When I try to drag and drop files using the spring-loaded folders feature, the 2nd tier of spring-loaded folders ALWAYS opens BEHIND the main window, making a drop (or further navigation) impossible. Anybody else experiencing this?
This is a brand new Macbook Air with Lion installed natively. Files & programs were migrated from a Time Machine backup using migration assistant.

Turning spring-loaded folders off and then back on in Finder preferences seems to have fixed this.

When I open a new window, it opens behind the exist ing window instead of in front of it. How can I fix this?

When I click on a link and I choose the option to open link in a new window, it opens behind the currently open window instead of in front of it. This is a real nuisance. Why is this happening, and how do I fix it?

Hi alanbala,
There are several possible reasons why the new window opens in the background and not in the foreground by default.
# another installed program is causing this
# the Firefox main window is set to Always on Top
# probably a Windows 7 bug
# possibly a Firefox bug [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790013 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790013]
What you can do is
# update your Windows 7 to the latest security patches
# open Mozilla Firefox in Safe Mode (see KB article [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]])
# evaluate the other programs installed on your computer
# open new links on a new tab
Let us know your progress. I will be following this support thread.

When a window is open and I try to go to a new bookmark or a link in an existing site, the new window opens behind the old window.

It isn't every time, and sometimes doesn't happen for a long time, then I'll go to a bookmark or toolbar link and the new window opens behind the one I was on. Example: I just opened a second window (CTRL N) and clicked on a bookmark. It opened a new window behind the one I'm on as I type this. I did the same steps again and it opened the new window in front of this one. It doesn't seem to make any difference which site I start from or go to or if I use CTRL N or let the bookmark do the opening.

This can happen if you have a tab open in the main browsing window that uses the plugin-container process (e.g. Flash).

Called form is opening behind the calling form in oracle form

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem while calling a form from another form.Say for example i have 2 forms form A and B. Form A (Calling form) has two windows. A main window will navigate to another window when a button is pressed and i am calling form B from window2 with: Open_Form('called_form',ACTIVATE,NO_SESSION,the_list); but the form B i.e, called form is opening behind the window2 (between main window and window2).
Then i tried with Call_Form('asn_details',NO_HIDE,no_replace,NO_QUERY_ONLY ,the_list); but result is same.
Form a window properties is as follows:
Main window: Window style is Document, Modal is set to NO.
Window2: Window style is Document, Modal is set to YES (because user should not navigate between windows)
Called form window: Window style is Document, Modal is set to YES.
Oracle DB version: 10g, Developer suite: 10g, Windows OS (windows 7, 32 bit).
Please help..
Thanks,
Pramod SR

Clicking on a link often causes the link to open behind the window with the linik.

Clicking on a link often causes the link to open behind the window with the link.
This occurs most frequently when only one or two windows are open.

Work around found.
The problem was occurring in links on a web page I created for my home page with "target=_new". Changing this to "target=_blank" fixed the problem. The old links worked fine before version16.

CS3 Camera Raw Too Many Files Open at the Same time alert!!!

Please help me. I keep getting this error message in Camera Raw that says there are too many files open at the same time - but I only have 100 open:( Please help - I was getting this error with CS2 and thought upgrading to CS3 would fix it and it didn't!!!

> "10 or 100 - you can quickly go through a stack of images in ACR and make any desired changes you want. Whether making the same or similar adjustment to similar files, or making radically different adjustments to different images as appropriate".
I've done this with far more than 100! I think my maximum is 425 raw files, invoking ACR from Bridge without Photoshop even loaded, and it worked well. (I've also done 115 JPEGs in order to crop them under extreme time constraints).
It can be very slick. For example, if I use a ColorChecker a number of times in a shoot, it is easy to select just the set (perhaps 100 or so) that a particular ColorChecker shot applies to and set the WB for all of them.
Furthermore, in case people don't know, you can set ratings on raw images while many of them are open in ACR. (Just click under the thumbnail). It isn't as powerful as Lightroom, but it is not to be dismissed.
I suspect that it is possible to apply sensor-dust-healing to lots of images in the same way, and certainly it is easy to apply presets based on various selections.
Perhaps with AMG (Adobe Media Gallery) it will be sensible to use the above capability to process 100s of raw files, then create a set of web pages for the best of them, in not much more time than it would have taken in Lightroom. I judge that Lightroom is the "proper" tool for the job (perhaps after 1.1!), but Bridge+ACR can go a long way.

Previews open behind the main Bridge window

When I open a preview in Bridge CS6 in Win7x64 using the spacebar, it appears that nothing has happened. However the preview has opened behind the main Bridge window, so I have to move the main window to see it. After that, it seems to then work normally.
Any suggestions for rectifying this?

Is there a way to have new windows/links open behind the current open window, running Mavericks?

I would like to have new windows that open from links, or when I "right-click, open new window", to open behind the window I am reading from, working from, browsing, etc. I often am doing research, and opening multiple supplemental links, but do not like having to click back to the page I am working from every time.
A separate choice when I right click, to "open in new window behind current window" would be great!

There is no add on that I know of that can do this, but there has been an implementation found for javascript via this link:
*[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17570412/prevent-document-losing-a-focus-when-new-tab-is-opened Stackoverflow: prevent document from losing a focus when a new tab is opened]
* There is also an about:config entry: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction Browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction] that is explained wht to do when clicking on a link in a webpage that requires a new window open, but it does not restrict the focus of the tab
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/?src=search Tab Mix Plus has similar features check this one out too. ]

Unwanted external file opening behavior by pdfs

I am using RoboHelp 8 (TCS 2) on a Windows Vista machine and have done so without issue for quite some time. However, today, after applying the BaseImage.dll fix described for images prepared in PS CS5.1 appearing as a red box (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/859/cpsid_85901.html) any pdf that I apply to a project, either as a baggage file, by hyperlinking to the file or by embedding it now prompts a dialog box to open the pdf externally in projects exported as browser-based help.
I don't know if the BaseImage.dll is related but that is the only modification that I have performed on my system. Normally, when I create a topic page in my TOC and link it to a pdf baggage file, the file opens within my main frame or when I link it as a hyperlink and set "Display in frame" to "Page Default (none) etc it will open within the browser. It is now applying this new unwanted behavior on older projects that I have gone back and re-generated which is why I suspect the BaseImage.dll has rewritten some default behavior.
This is very problematic for me as I need the pdfs to open within the main application. I would sincerely appreciate any assistance!!!

Browser can't find a text file opened via the save as dialogue box

Hi there,
I have a servlet which outputs a file using the servlet output stream, with the following lines set:
response.setContentType("application/msword");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachement; filename="+ fileName);
servletOutStream.write(myBytes);
servletOutStream.flush();
It works fine for .doc files and it seems the mechanism is that it is saved to the Temporary Internet Folder and delivered from there when the user clicks on the 'open' or 'save' option in the browser popup dialogue box. However... when I try this with text files, (setting the content type to "text/plain") I get the open/save dialogue box up correctly but if I try to open the file it says it cannot find the file, and gives the path under the Temporary Interenet Folder. If I look in there the text file isn't present - though the .doc files are.
So... it looks as if the problem is that for some reason it doesn't save the text files correctly to the Temporary Internet Folder.
I can't deliver the text files inline as a solution as the filename is lost and it thinks it's an html file (which the client doesn't want).
Any ideas?
Alison

At least also set the content length. Your browser may be configured be the default application to open textfiles. If the contentlength is not set, then most applications would refuse to open the file without choosing for 'Save' first and manually open it.
