File Association, Open File, Edit File

Vibe is told to support > 400 file formats and that the file viewing capabilities are provided by Oracle Outside In viewer technology that supports over 500 unstructured file formats.
Testing with Firefox 33.1 on Linux desktops and Vibe 3.4 on SLES11SP3, the following basic file management options beyond Download/Save and possibly View, are available for some typical file types:
PDF
+ Opening in the browser pdf preview
DWG
+ Open with
ODT
+ Open with
+ Edit
DOC
+ Open with
+ Edit
DOCX
TXT
+ Edit
I wonder why "Open with" and "Edit" is not available for DOCX, as long as the document was intially created with LibreOffice on the Linux desktop?
In my opinion also complete file action options should be brought up in a context menu by right-click (as usual in File managers) on any file in the folder Files list.
Is there any configuration file on Vibe that can be edited to complement the available file actions for DOCX files etc ?
The Vibe Admin guide has a chapter about Configuring File Associations for Edit in Place Applications, but I'm not sure how to do this and if this will help here https://www.novell.com/documentation.../b10u30w2.html
Else, in Firefox Edit>Preferences>Applications it is possible to set Actions for various file types (content), and in Gnome 3,x System settings | Details | Default Applications can be selected.
Thanks,

Hi Pawel,
I tried first as user to change the default editor settings for .docx to libreoffice according to the documentation
https://www.novell.com/documentation...s.html#bk59mem
but with no difference as result.
Click on the .docx file pop up the Opening .docx widget which only offers the file options Cancel and Save.
There is still no "Open with" option available.
There is still not 'Edit This File' relevance tab available, nor contains the 'File Actions' any Edit option.
Any idea why the .docx file type is missing this fundamental file management features in Vibe?

  • How to open and edit CRP files?

    Hi,
    at my workplace I see the following folders:
    C:\Program Files\Novell\ZENworks\Asset Management\bin\UsageLogs
    In this folder I see secret files like: 20090115.CRP and 20090115-web.CRP
    Each days ZenWorks create this 2 files.
    How can I open and edit it? Which software have to install at home for check it? I'm interested in very much what contain this files...
    Thanks,

    Those files would be software usage metering files. There is no software to the best of my knowledge that opens those files. They are loaded automatically by the collection server into the database.

  • How open and edit the coherence.xml file?

    How can I open and edit the coherence.xml file?
    I cannot find the coherence.xml file in the coherence.jar package.
    Thank you,
    June

    If you are intent on changing the coherence.xml file, then you could use the JAR command (that comes with Java) to extract the coherence.xml file from coherence.jar and the later repackage the coherence.jar file using the udpated coherence.xml file, e.g.:
    C:\java\opt\coherence-331\lib>jar -xvf coherence.jar tangosol-coherence.xmlextracted: tangosol-coherence.xml>
    Instead of using JAR, on Windows you can associate the .JAR, .WAR and .EAR extensions with WinZip and use it to access / modify the contents of JAR files.
    However, the suggested approach is as follows, and does not include any changes to the tangosol.jar file:
    The tangosol-coherence-override-dev.xml file can be found in the coherence.jar file. After editing this file (in this case to define a unique value for the port system-property value for the multicast listener), save the file and add it to the server's classpath. When the server is executed, the values in the tangosol-coherence-override-dev.xml file will override any corresponding settings in the tangosol-coherence.xml file.Peace,

  • Open or edit .classpath file?

    Hi,
    I just want to ask if I can open or edit the .classpath file on my new project? if so, how will i do it?
    Thanks.

    Looks like you're using Eclipse. Right-click on the project root -> properties to edit it with a GUI. You probably want to the Java build path -> libraries tab.
    Editing manually works, though you probably have to do a manual refresh afterward.

  • Is there a way to open and edit my iMovie HD files with iMovie '09 and later versions?

    I am getting ready to update an older iMac from Tiger to Mountain Lion. (Long overdue, I know) I have several files that I created using iMovie HD. After I update, will the new versions of iMovie be able to open and edit my iMovie HD files?

    I don't think that iMovie 11 is backwards compatible with iMovie HD 6.
    If you still have the install disks for iMovie Hd 6 (iLife 6) you can keep it alongside the newer version:
    Happily this is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
    Delete iMovie 11 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife 6 install disks. Update it to iMovie 6.0.3.
    Now re-install iMovie 11. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
    Then reinstall iMovie 11.
    iMovie 6 works great with iDVD 7.
    Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.
    Alternatively you could try this method, suggested by poster Uitech:
    Open a terminal and type "touch /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iLife011.plist"
    (No quotes)
    Install iMovieHD6 from the iLife 6 install disk.
    This works with both Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.

  • I have re-installed PS CS4 and Bridge onto my new Macbook Pro, but I cannot open or edit RAW files?

    I just bought a new Macbook, and I tried transferring my Photoshop CS4 and Bridge to my new one via my external Hard Drive. It's worked in the past (I did it when transferring my desktop to my laptop), but this time, I am unable to open or edit RAW files. Bridge won't even allow me the option of "Camera Raw Settings" when going under "File".
    I've tried searching for answers to my questions through these forums, and the closest I have gotten is that I need to download the updated Camera Raw plug-in, and I can't find it. Also, I need to download the update to the DNG or something like that, which I did, and that still doesn't work. I've extracted and refiled my RAWs to DNG's, and they will still not open in either Bridge, nor Photoshop. So, now I'm feeling helpless and I'm getting very frustrated at this point.
    I shoot with a Canon 7d in RAW format. I've done this for years, and my computers have opened them with CS4 since I've had it.
    I appreciate any and all help, thank you!

    "Moving", copying, transferring or migrating Adobe applications is to be avoided at all costs. 
    Always install from the original media, from scratch, then apply all updates available all over again.  The Camera Raw plug-in, for example, is buried deep inside your root level Library.
    Your best course of action is to uninstall CS4, download and run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and re-install CS4 as per the previous paragraph.

  • Can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

    can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

    No. Lightroom 4.x will never be able to open Raw files from the D810.
    D810 support has only just been added to the RC version of Camera Raw 8.6. It is never retrospectively added into older versions.
    Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.6 RC for CC and CC 2014 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
    Adobe will probably add D810 support to the next version of Lightroom.
    Either way you'll have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 to be able to open D810 Raw files in Lightroom.

  • Opening and editing .MOD files

    Just purchased a JVC Everio Hard Diek camcorder. The editing software which comes with the camera (Capty MPEG Edit EX for Everio) is unfortunately only compatable with OSX 10.3, but I have OSX 10.4.7. I can't open or edit any of the images of my son's birth. The files which are generated by the camera are .MOD files. Is there any way of converting these files to something which I can edit in iMovie (I have version 3.0.3 of iMovie)? Any ideas???

    Hello
    That sounds great - just a couple of questions... I tried Sue's excellent advice yesterday and purchased Mpeg-2 Playback Component from Apple, as this seemed the most economic solution. I have Quicktime 7, but I've not upgraded to Pro yet. Unfortunately the Mpeg-2 Playback Component which Apple sent seems to only work in Classic mode with Quicktime 6. Even after I'd installed Mpeg-2 Playback Component, when I tried to use MPEG Streamclip I still got a message saying that I need Mpeg-2 Playback Component - I assume it's not recognising I already have it because it's a Classic application.
    Will Mpeg-2 Playback Component work if I have Quicktime Pro, even if it's Quicktime Pro 7?
    Sorry I can't help with your question - I'm as much in the dark as you!

  • Opening and Editing SWF files

    Does anyone know if there is a way to open and edit a SWF file.

    No, you have to have the fla file to edit.  You can purchase/use a decompiler to convert the swf into an fla file, but I have no experience or recommendations to offer regarding that... only hear-say--towards the negative side

  • Any way to open and edit .MOD files on iMac?

    I am brand new to iMac, after wasting too many years on Windows. I have a Hard Disk camcorder that I uploaded from to my old PC. The movies are in the .MOD extension. I cannot seem to find a program to open and edit them on my new Mac. I used PowerDirector on my old PC, but that program doesn't seem to have a Mac version. Will iMovie be able to handle these files? I have quite a few home movies in this format, and I don't want to lose them! Thanks for your help!

    You can use a program called MPEG Streamclip to convert your MOD files to MP4s, which can be imported by iMovie. Also, you can change the mod file extensions to mpg which allows you to view the files with Quicktime (although, at least in my experience, they still need to be converted with MPEG Streamclip to be recognized by iMovie 08).
