File Browser Gone?

As I said in another topic, I've just installed version 4 after using version 2 for some time. Version 2 has a very helpful file browser - that seems to be missing in version 4, replaced, I fear, with the Organizer, which takes a long time to load and seems less useful. Is there an easy way to see the images in a folder and load them into the editor workspace in version 4?

Terry,
The removal of File Browser has been one of the most hotly debated topics since Version 4 came out. It seems many people have quite strong opinions on this subject. The link will take you a thread that has many responses, including some that tell how people are using Organizer to try and emulate the Browser.

  • File Browser Capibilities needed from CS gone in CS2

    Someone help me to figure out how to adape the Bridge to work like File Browser did in CS. I need to be able to see the image large (larger thumbnail), see the MetaData, then click on the photo to edit it or batch process it. All this disappearing behind Photoshop or lossing the metadata if you make the bridge smaller does not work. Can the bridge be made to stay in Photoshop contained like the File Browser did, so that it can be edited? Or is there a way to get File Browser back? Sorry, I'm not too impressed with this Bridge.
    Thanks!
    N Hodgkins

    >Bridge is a totally seperate app that takes way to long to load!
    It should load in a few seconds if setup correctly. You don't say if you're Windows or Mac, which doesn't help when we try to assist you with Troubleshooting.
    Is Bridge trying to cache files in a folder? If you you need to let it finish.
    Do you have antivirus software running in background? If so try temporarily disabling it to see if Bridge starts quicker.
    If Windows and your starting from a Shortcut then the first tip contained in the FAQ has been known to help, see:

  • File browser closes

    Following a recent upgrade to OS X Mavericks I'm having problems with using the file browser when trying to upload a file - example, facebook or Google+ upload image. I click on the appropriate button to open the browser, it opens for a short while, maybe a second or two, then closes before a file can be picked.

    I can confirm a similar problem here. Any instance of using the file browser, it opens up and is fine until I double click on any folder. It immediately closed.
    It still does it with all extensions disabled and just for fun, in safe mode.
    I've restored & restarted. I've also gone for a completely fresh install.
    Drag and drop of files, on pages that support it, work fine.
    I see you had a similar problem during a beta phase but couldn't reproduce.

  • Image Button file browser icon missing

    Hi there, I've been using C5 this week for the 1st time and have been working through a project. All has gone ok to date, a few niggles along the way but I've run into a huge bug this morning which is wrecking my plan to finish the project.
    I'm adding an image button to a slide and have found to my frustration that the file browser in Properties has vanished, pushed out past the properties block, which of course cannot be resized to the right (thanks Adobe, nice UI design there). This means I can't choose any image for my button apart from those already loaded in the preview which is utterly useless. I've attached a screenshot to show what it looks like.
    As you can see the Image Button drop down has gone very wide and pushed the folder browser icon out of sight. Simply maddening!
    I had been using image buttons all week with out any issues. Yesterday an update appeared (5.0.1.624) for C5 so I applied it. Then this issue started. I have since uninstalled C5 and reinstalled without applying the update and its still doing it. What I didn't do was reboot after the uninstall, maybe I should have done...
    Anybody else come across this? if it is a bug its a crippling one!!!!

    Hi Niall-Mac and KiHwa -
    This is indeed a CP bug!!! We found this some months ago - it turns out that if you name your button images with a very long file name (35-40 characters plus), it slowly starts pushing the "browse" folder icon further and further to the right of the panel. Add a few more buttons with longer file names to the gallery and eventually it disappears altogether, like you both have encountered (see image).
    Workaround 1 (best practice IMO until CP dev team fixes this):
    We started creating buttons in a separate CP file, creatively named "projectName_buttons" - this way any time we need a button we go to this file and copy/paste it into our project and we never have to mess with the button gallery in our working (source) file. If the "browse" icon disappears again in our buttons file, we simply copy all our buttons from our "project_buttons" file into a new blank project and save over the old (broken) one.
    Workaround 2 (not so user-friendly):
    1. Stretch your timeline panel as wide as it can go on your monitor (I use two 21" monitors to develop so I can make my timeline rather long)
    2. Undock the properties panel so that it is a floating window
    3. Drag the properties panel by the topmost dark gray bar just above the "Properties" tab and place it just below the timeline until it snaps into place - now don't let go of it just yet, drag it up a tiny bit further - as you do this a blue bar will appear signifying that it will dock to that position (underneath the timeline) - when you dock it to the timeline it will stretch to the same length as the timeline and voila, you can now see the "browse" icon - however, who wants a properties panel that takes up your whole monitor!!!! I certainly don't.....
    On a side note, it is very disheartening that once buttons are in the button gallery you have NO CONTROL over them - if they need to be edited you are forced to rename them so you can import a fresh button. This method unnecessarily creates TWO copies of a button in your gallery - the more edits you make to a button the more copies of that button you get in your gallery....some control over the button gallery would be nice.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • Error: Unable to locate an image file browser...

    I get the error below when I insert an image element and try to associate a picture to it by either double clicking it or using the browse button in the Draw palette.
    I have looked in my install directory and the "FileSystemBrowser.dll" file is present as well as the "ImageFileBrowserIDL.dll" file, so what gives?
    Running LiveCycle ES2 9.0.0.2.20120627.2.874785

    Hi,
    you should be able to fix that problem by re-registering Designer file browser DLL.

  • Arching of files is gone from the downloads and documents folder

    The arching list of files is gone when rolling over the downloads and documents folder. I removed the downloads folder by accident yesterday from the dock. Once I found it, I replaced it back on the dock and now the arching of files is gone on both folders. I have them as lists by date. I have restarted my MacBook Pro several times, clicked on the dock and properties and nothing seems to work. Does anyone know how to get it back? Are there any settings that I am missing?. Thanks!

    Right click on the folder in the Dock (or hold down the Control key and click on it if you have a one-button mouse), and choose "Stack" under the "Display as" section, and "Fan" under the "View content as" section in the resultant contextual menu. You can also choose how they are sorted from this menu as well.

  • HT201250 I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?

    I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?  No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!

    1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

  • Is there a way to see a file browser on iCloud? It says my account is filled up to 5G already and I can't imagine what it moved over to there that was that big.

    Is there a way to see a file browser on iCloud? It says my account is filled up to 5G already and I can't imagine what it moved over to there that was that big.
    I'm wondering if it moved my rhapsody music to the cloud (which is pointless) so I shut off 'document' sharing in case that's the problem, but it's still saying I'm at 5G right now.
    When I go to icloud.com all I see is the dumb app icons, with no clue as to what's taking up that disk space.
    btw, I did not sync photos from the get-go.
    A file browser? please? I need to see my cloud.

    Have you enabled Automatic Downloads on all of your devices? This would download all of the books to all of your devices when you download on any device - as long as you are using the same Apple ID and iTunes account on all of your devices.
    Go to Settings>Store>Automatic Downloads>Books>On. When you download a book on one iDevice, it will download to all of your iDevices. This will only work for downloads moving forward from the moment that you turn the setting on. You will have to download the previously purchased books to all of your other devices.
    With iCloud, you can start reading the book on one device and then pickup where you left off on another device.

  • Why can't I see the list view in the file browser

    In the file browser for FCP X, I can see the files in the thumbnail view but when I choose "list view", I see nothing.

    Check three things: the filter popup in the upper left, the search box in the upper right, make sure there's nothing in it, and the action popup (the gear in the lower left) make sure there is no weird setting that's removing everything.
    You can also trash your preferences to reset them.

  • Iphone file browser stopped working after upgraded to IOS 5

    Hi,
    I have an iphone 3gs which I have recently upgraded to IOS 5. But to my horror after I have done that I can no longer browser my iphone's internal storage. Iphone connected to PC via USB, the file explorer no longer available. It can still sync with itune fine but there is noway I can access the storage locater in the phone via file explorer like I used to. Mind you I still have 3GB of space there.
    Is that a bug? Or I stuffed up the upgrade some where?
    Anyone else had this experience?
    Alex

    I know whats wrong now...
    My phone had been emptied after I last restored it, after I took a picture and insert the phone back to the PC. The file browser shows up again...
    That means if there is nothing in the phone, the file browser wouldn't be too bother to even show up. Weird one...

  • Possible to set the Created_by column value for File Browse?

    I'm using database account authentication and then a user gets to upload a file. Then my stored procedure reads the file. I was investigating a problem, happened to search the apex_workspace_files view and noticed the created_by column is always set to APEX_PUBLIC_USER for the files my users upload. Is there some way I can set that value when they log in, so I can track who actually did the upload?
    Thanks,
    Stew

    Dimitri,
    I was just using the standard File Browse item, so getting the blob from the workspace view. Though I've seen notes here about loading to your own table, what I had seemed to work (and was done) fairly well. There were just these little features I wanted to use...
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    Dave, I'm not sure which stored procedure you're suggesting I add the apex_custom_auth.get_username value to? I hoped that the internal File Browse routine would pick up the get_username value automatically instead of the application definition Public User value.
    Thanks,
    Stew

  • How to add a new right-click menu entry in Nautilus file browser?

    I want to add a couple of new context menu entries to Nautilus File Browser.
    So when I e.g. right-click in View Pane on a file "foobar.conf" an menu entry "edit with gedit" should appear (among the other default entries).
    When clicked the file "foobar.conf" should be passed to gedit (and gedit editor opened).
    How can I achieve this?
    Under Ubuntu there are nautilus-actions but when I try to install them in Solaris with
    pkg install nautilus-actions
    then this package is not found.
    How else can I create my own context menues?
    I would appreciate to have one script with all my context menus, which when run add them all in one step.

    To manage selected files or directories, you can use specific Nautilus variables like NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS.
    For more details and which variables exist, please read the content of the following URL :

  • Open Cursor Issue because of file browse Item - Is this a Bug in APEX 3.2

    Hi All,
    I am using file browse Item to upload file into the database at two places in my application, but it seems whenever I am submitting those two pages, with file path or without file path, its opening an cursor which remains open after that, because of this open cursor count in the application is getting exceeding every time.
    For testing this I have made an dummy page containing just file browse item and submit button, and still it is increasing the open cursor count.
    Is this a bug in Apex file browse item or there is some other way to handle this.
    Please kindly help me in the above issue as this is affecting the production application.
    Thanks & Regards
    Sanjay

    Hi,
    One observation, Apex is switching the Session ID after one got killed ? I was working on Apex page with browse Item to test open cursor count,
    after killing the SID (227) on which the open cursor count was getting increase, it APEX automatically switches to new SID(149) for that session.
    Now the problem is even if I have two SID's and one hits the maximum open cursor count, It is not switching to other SID instead the whole application becomes unavailable.
    STATNAME SID VALUE USER
    opened cursors current 20 14 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
    opened cursors current 149 74 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
    opened cursors current 194 71 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
    opened cursors current 211 5 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
    opened cursors current 227 325 APEX_PUBLIC_USER Killed
    opened cursors current 244 15 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
    opened cursors current 20 14 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
    opened cursors current 149 76 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
    opened cursors current 194 71 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
    opened cursors current 211 5 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
    opened cursors current 244 15 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
    Please kindly help in this.
