File association, file association

I can't get the file association to allow a change from the textedit writer to the OpenOffice.odt format. Is there a way to trick OSX into allowing the change?

Since changing our computer I have been unable to download ebooks to my Reader Library I get a message Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library; Waterstones suggest that I may have accidentally created a new Adobe

When I try to download them from the Waterstones website I get a message saying:
‘Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library. Do you want to associate them now? When I reply yes I get another message; ‘Configuration error unable to update EPUB files check network firewall and try again’.
The ‘books’ are saved in the Download directory and I can’t transfer them from there to my E-Reader. I have not had any problems before, it was very simple; I saved the download and it automatically went into the Reader Library.
I contacted HP and they said it is a software error and suggested I contact Waterstones. I contacted Waterstones Customer Support and got the following response:
As the error message is specifically mentioning the firewall it does sound like something in the firewall settings is stopping the download from taking place correctly. However, the files should not be being saved to the Download folder. It would be worth trying again by going to your Digital Order History on your Waterstones.com account and pressing the download button, and then making sure to press "Open" not "Save". When you press Open rather than Save it should give the option to open the file with Adobe Digital Editions. If the firewall message still comes up then I'm afraid something is blocking it on your end.
If the above "Open" download method works but you then still get an error message it could possibly be that you have accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up on the new computer, rather than signing in with your old Adobe ID. It would be worth trying the aforementioned download technique again first, but if problems did still persist it would be worth calling Adobe themselves on 0207 365 0735, as they should be able to sort out any account issue.
In response to the first para of Waterstones email I already do what they suggest I do press ‘Open’ not ‘Save’ but I don’t get the open with Adobe Digital Editions (we have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer. Waterstones say we may have ‘accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up the new computer’ does that mean that we shouldn’t have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer as it would have already been there? How do I sign in with my old Adobe ID?

Hi all after attampting to get some supoport from adobe by phone.... nice people infurating policys as far as support for digital editions or DRM is conserned... However I got no where with support.
I ended up instaling Digital editions on my desktop PC and going through the motions of registering and borrowing a book then returning it. Then I trying on my iPad, Bluefire worked, Over drive did not so I completely removed Overdrive and reinstalled and re registered. all working now.
Maybe some one at adobe did something. Maybe the install of the adobe DE client on a PC corrected what ever was out of wack with my account. Mayby the server that my account lives on did a scan disk and corrected a bad clustrer.
What ever happend My account is actiove and working again. hope this helps others.

In Premiere Elements 11 how do I delete projects & associated files & folders?

How do I delete projects & associated files & folders once I've finished with the project in Premiere Elements 11. There is information available for Premiere Elements 7 but not for 11

For PrE 7 (I think that it is still in print), Amazon has Steve's Muvipix Guide to Premiere Elements: http://astore.amazon.com/chuckengelsco-20/detail/0615248993/104-3709942-5611121
If you are planning on moving to PrE 11, he has written the definitive guide to that version: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1479311200/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=chuckengelsco-20&camp=145 73&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=1479311200&adid=0N87W21KS3SSK1YA3MZW&&ref-ref URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.muvipix.com%2FFORMgallery1.php
For one Project folder scheme, see this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3998053#3998053 Note: this is how I set up my Projects, but can be used as a guide.

I need to open a file with an associated programm.

I need to open a file with an associated programm.
I'm looking for two solutions:
1. for Linux/Solaris/Unix/...
2. for Windows 95/98/Nt/2000
For Windows I have done this with command line
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + uSavePath);
but it doesn't work on windows2000. We need an universal solution.
For linux
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("netscape openURL " + uSavePath);
But may be anybody know better solution?

You are right. For unix better solution is that my program to care about all association itself. As I undestend now it's a common solution for unix applications.
But for windows it will be ugly enough. I've found another way for windows
Win2000/NT: "cmd /C start filename /B"
other Wins: start filename
for linux I've stopped at doing this via Netscape.
May be in future I'll make my property file.
start filename - on Win95(may be 98/ME) returns -1 if file not assotiated with a programm, and doesn't shows openWith dialog. It solved using something like "rundll32 shell32, OpenWith filename"
It's all for those how will solve this problem in future.

Accidentally deleted all my applications and associated files using App Cleaner and when I put them all back in to Applications none of them work now

Hi last night I stupidly downloaded App Cleaner and deleted all my applications and their associated files. Because I panicked I wasn't able to use the "put back" so I just dragged everything back in to Applications. Now none of the applications will work as some of the associated files aren't in the correct location and some of the files aren't even applications. i did not back up my system with Time Machine (lesson learnt). Please please can someone help me, I know that Mac's don't have a roll back like PC's

They do. It's called Time Machine.
You need to reinstall all of your Apps. That should replace all of the support files you nuked.

Opening associated files...

I'm trying to associate files in windows with my application, so that a
user can double click the file and have it open in my app.
Currently Im doing this manually as a test. So basically I right click the file and select "Open With" and select my application.
But when I double click the files that are associated with the
application, how can I get the path to the .jar file that is actually
running? So far if I use new File(".") - it gives me the directory of
the file that I am opening... which causes problems for my app...

It does, but that's definitely strange. Try showing all hidden files and folders on your Mac to see if that helps.
To do this, head to Applications -> Utilties -> Terminal and type:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE -> Press Enter
killall Finder -> Press Enter
Then navigate out to your iPod again via the Finder. Any luck now?

Which business objects do allow searching the associated file attachments?

Hello search experts,
SAP Note 1249465 - TREX 7.1: Installing TREX for Embedded Search states:
"Embedded search enables every SAP Business Suite application to search in a unified way inside its business objects (structured data) and associated file attachments (unstructured data)."
Is there a list of business objects where the search in the associated file attachments is supported? I'm specially interested in the SAP CRM business objects. But a list for SAP ERP and the other Business Suite components would be nice too.
Best regards
Gregor

Hi Ritwik,
for the Cycle 3 of Customer Connection for SAP CRM that was started last year this idea was submitted:
Integrate documents (attachments) into CRM embedded search
https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/10637
unfortunately this topic spans cross multiple software components. The development was started but got stuck. In the moment the status of this request is "Handed over - Already in development planning (Handed over to Product / CEI topic owner)". So let's hope we will see a standard solution sooner or later.
Best regards
Gregor

Where should I store the collatoral files that are associated with photos stored in lightroom?

Where should I store the collatoral files that are associated with photos stored in lightroom? Items such as pdf files, word documents, etc. How should I connect them to each other so I can find both the photo and the related data?

Lightroom itself will not help you with pdf, word, etc.
However, there is a plugin you can use called AnyFile which will allow you to manage these documents in Lightroom (by assigning keywords and other metadata) so that you can search for all documents (photos, pdf, word, music, powerpoint, etc.) with given metadata.
Because you do this via metadata, it doesn't matter where you put these files. Put them anywhere you want.

File-roller file association problem

Hi,
I have a problem with file-roller file associations.
When I double-click on a file in file-roller it always asks which application to use.
For instance, If I double-click on a txt file from thunar it opens gvim automatically. But if I try from file-roller, from an archive, it asks which application to open with.
Same thing for pictures. Thunar starts mirage automatically but file-roller asks which application to start.
It seems that file-roller does not read .local/share/applications/defaults.list nor .local/share/applications/mimeapps.list. I tried to modify both but nothing changes.
I am not running gnome but openbox.
I also tried from cli gnome-open foo.txt and, like should be, it starts gvim.
Installing gnome-mime-data didn't solved the problem. Maybe I am missing something?
Still searching on google for a solution. If somebody had similar problem and knows how to solve please let me know.
Thank you very much and as always sorry for my bad English.

Hi,
The link is working... it's not a nautilus quirk. Try these examples:
FIRST EXAMPLE:
Login as root and edit mimeinfo.cache (In openSUSE, the linux distribution I'm using right now, this file is placed on /usr/share/applications).
su
gedit /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
Search for audio/mpeg=
The first application I specify is going to be the program that File-Roller will use to open a compressed mp3 file.
Example:
audio/mpeg=totem.desktop;banshee-1.desktop;
This will open Totem...
audio/mpeg=banshee-1.desktop;totem.desktop;
This will open Banshee.
SECOND EXAMPLE:
$ su
$ gedit /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
Search for:
text/xml=MozillaFirefox.desktop
Replace to:
text/xml=gedit.desktop
This will open xml files with Gedit, instead of Firefox.
Good luck.

[CLOSED] Graphical file/mime type association editor?

Is anyone aware of a general-purpose (i.e. not belonging necessarily to one of the major DEs) file/mime type association editor? I'd like to be able to change the default applications of a given file-type independently of the DE. In particular, I'd like to know how to set a default file manager.
Last edited by nbtrap (2011-10-31 19:39:10)

It doesn't look like there is a desktop-independent GUI for editing filetype associations. As far as I now understand, the concept itself it practically meaningless since DEs that conform to xdg standards have their own sets of associations. At any rate, the xdg-* tools are actually quite easy to work with. And I don't see any difference between mimeo and xdg-open. Thank you both for your help.

CDE File Manager - associated file

I am not familiar with Solaris.
Now I have SunOS 5.8, and login into CDE (common desktop environment).
I run File Manager, then I can see iconic pictures at the left.
If I double-click a file, it will open the related application.
The action taken when you open an icon depends on the type of icon.
For example, opening a data file usually starts the Text Editor, opening a HTML file starts the Netscape.
It is just like associated file at File Explorer of Windows 2000.
How does it work? Can I change the associated file?
Regards,
Vicky

Opening a file with an associated application

Ok, I have a project where I have to open a file or files
with the associated application on a local system. I have tried the
"open" command in lingo, the "ApplicationXtra.x32" xtra, "BuddyAPI"
xtra and the "FileXtra4" xtra. Each will open the application but
none will open the file path and name sent in the argument;
assuming any of the folders in the path or the filename itself has
spaces in it.
Here is an example of the code used for the lingo "open"
command:
open "E:\Working\PlotViews for Cleveland.dwg" with
"E:\Program Files\ACAD2000\acad.exe"
Here is an example of the code used for the
"ApplicationXtra.x32":
RunApp = new(xtra "ApplicationXtra")
RunApp.RunApp("E:\Program
Files\ACAD2000\acad.exe","E:\Working\PlotViewsforCleveland.dwg")
Here is an example of the code used for the "BuddyAPI":
ok = baShell( "open", "E:\Program Files\ACAD2000\acad.exe",
"E:\Working\PlotViews for Cleveland.dwg" , "E:\Working\", "normal"
And here is an example of the code used for the "FileXtra4":
FX = new xtra("FileXtra4")
FX.fx_FileRunApp("E:\Program Files\ACAD2000\acad.exe
E:\Working\PlotViews for Cleveland.dwg")
All of these crap out when there is a space anywhere in the
path or filename. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for the help.

Well, to anyone who cares....I used the ShortFileName
function from BuddyAPI and BAM it works!

How do I completely (!) uninstall "Logic Pro X" with all associated files?

Hey guys,
I'm a relatively new MAC user.
I'm sitting here since two hours to figure out how I can uninstall "Logic Pro X" and all it's associated files completly?
I found several guides on the internet pointing to different folders which should be deleted.
When I follow those guides all I get are circa four deleted files and 1 GB of free space nothing more.
They are all written for older versions of Logic (mostly 8 and 9)!
So maybe someone here on the official support communities can help me getting rid of it?

Hi
If you really want to delete all of it:
Applications: Logic Pro X
Macintosh HD:Lbrary:Audio:Apple Loops:Apple (you may want to keep the GarageBand ones?)
Macintosh HD:Lbrary:Audio:Impulse Responses
Macintosh HD:Lbrary:Application Support:Logic
That should get most/all of it

Is com.ms.wfc only solution for extracting associated file icon on WinXX?

Did someone ever succeed to extract associated file icon on some of the WinXX OS(in a form of Icon, Image or similar object)? If yes, then please supply idea, because after 10 ours searching, I didn't find anything except "...write your own code that will use JNI to call WinAPI".
I didn't check in com.ms.wfc because I'm not sure is it possible to mix ANY code from WFC with code from JFC (I will appreciate some advice about that) ?

Is it possible that no one knows the answer ?

How to find & delete all associated files of a hyper-V VM?

I've spent a day searching, what I thought was a simple question. How do you find and delete all the associated files of a Hyper-V VM? In this case, someone left several VMs used for training. For example there is a VM of Server 2008 named Boston. How can
I find the files that are specifically associated with Boston? We're using Server 2008 R2. We have PowerShell, but it lacks the VM commandlets such as get-vm. Thanks for your help.
Beware of unmoderated moderators in the Expression Web forums.

Hi,
You can from the guest vm settings get all the data when the guest vm generated location, you can see the virtual disk location the Shapshot File Location and so on.
Hope this helps.
We
are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this

Thanks for helping make community forums a great place.
