File Extensions viewing in win explorer

Hi folks
Is anyone aware of any issues with pdf files being shown as ai's in explorer after installing cs5.5?
I am currently awaiting my upgrade but my colleague who is a step ahead of me has told me that all her pdf's are shown as ai's ...
Any ideas?
Cheers

Check AL S's response here for how to do this. CVI 6.0 does not have a native Tree control. This was introduced with CVI 7.0.

I have many photos with file extension of .PDD and that Photo Deluxe 4 no longer will operate in Win 7. How can I open? Next in Elements 11, how do I load and print different pictures and different sizes options on the same page?

How to hide file extension on finders symbolic view?

When I switch the finder's view to symbolic the files view turns to an icon or minimized first page of the file's content. In some cases the file extension is displayed at the bottom of this symbol. E.g. files of type PDF always show the 3 letters PDF at the bottom of the small preview image. Files of type PKG don't show it.
Is there a way to change this behaviour? Changing it in the finder's prefrences only affects hiding or showing the file extension in list view.
Thanks for any advice!

I tried it and it didn't look like it took effect. I switched folders and cam back to the first one I looked at and the extensions were showing.
It may just need time to redraw the view.

Viewing the file extension in the tphoto humbnails preview

The file names have the file extensions cut off. Is it possible to view the file with the extension. I need to know if I'm looking at a .jpg or a .nef file (raw file) I tried the preferences and there are choices but none show the extension. I did notice that if your over an image a pop up window appears that shows the entire file name with extension....but I need it on the photo thumbnail. Thanks!

If I had more time I would give you the short answer but you can find out how to do this and much more in an article that I wrote here:

Way to view file extension in thumbnail name

In the Browser, each thumbnail has the name of the file listed below it, but without the file extension. Is there a way to get the extension to show up next to the file name?

It's not quite a simple as you'd think...
Version names don't contain the original file extension because until you export the file using one of the presets it's not really relevant.
You can change to viewing the +file name+ in grid view*, but as you can't change this once the images are imported it's probably not that useful.
If you just want to quickly see the filename, hit 'T' to bring up the image tooltips, the default metadata view for this starts with the filename, then hover over any image.

*Make a new metadata view which has the filename as the first item, then hit Command-J to bring up the view options and change the Grid View metadata view to that view. See the Aperture manual or http://www.bagelturf.com/aparticles/metadata/msets/index.html for more info on making metadata views.

Acrobat Pro Ver 9 for Win 7 the menu bar (File, Edit, View, Document etc) Disappears when I move the Window

Lately in Acrobat Pro Ver 9 for Win 7 the menu bar (File, Edit, View, Document etc) disappears when I move the window . . only happens when I have a pdf file open . . everything worked fine until a few days ago . . F9 fixes the problem until I move the window again . . I realize my version is old so I tried tried downloading XI reader and having the same issue . . any help would be appreciated

Hi Ernestprinter,
Check if you have multiple Java versions installed on your computer.
Try clean boot http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Also i would suggest uninstall security software and install it back.
Currently you may use F9 key to restore Menu bar.

IPhone photo/video library glitch - wrong file extensions, name shift, lost files etc [LONG story - sorry]

I have a 5s running 7.0.4. and my computer is running Windows 8.1.
We had a baby and my phone filled up fast with pictures and videos, so I decided to offload them onto my PC. I connected my phone to the usb port, and directly copied from the DCIM folder to my hard drive.
Something happened during the first attempt, and the process was interrupted. So I went into each of the sub folders, and selected all files, and started the copy process again. I told the computer to skip any existing files.
So all the file counts matched in each folder, and I figured it was safe to start deleting from my iPhone.
On my hard drive, I separated all the MOV files into my Videos folder. But in Windows Explorer, the thumbnail view showed several MOV files with no thumbnail - just the generic icon.
As I sorted my photos into various folders, I also noticed a lot of generic icons instead of thumbnails for the JPGs. I started to feel concerned that my files had become corrupt during the transfer. But then I noticed a PNG file that was a few hundred megabytes. This was odd, so I added the MOV extension to it. Sure enough, it was a video with the wrong extension.
I renamed every PNG and JPG file that had no thumbnail to add the MOV extension. Every one was a video with the wrong file extension.
Then I went to the video folder, and all the MOV files that had the generic icon were actually JPG files.
Well I was just happy to see that the files were not corrupt.
One more time before I deleted things from my iPhone, I did a spot check to see that the largest videos were on my hard drive. I found a few videos that were not copied over, despite the file counts having been accurate. So I copied the videos again, and compared file sizes and date/times when there was an overwrite prompt. Most were matches, but several were the same file name with different sizes and dates.
I didn't know what was going on, but I just wanted to get the files on my computer. So I renamed my local copy where there was a name collision, and copied the videos. I deleted the videos from my phone as I went along.
I felt pretty confident that I had all the files copied now, so I began mass deleting my photos.
I went to the Photos app on the phone, and watched the thousands of pictures disappear, and the glorious free space grow on my phone.
But wait... there was still 1 video in the Photos app. I thought I had gotten all the MOV files off the phone...
I have a photo info app installed, so I was able to see the file name of the video. I searched for that file name in the DCIM subfolders, but the folder that had that series of files (the IMG_3000-3999 files) listed the files with that particular video skipped. It was clearly still on my phone, because I could play it.
Then I noticed it was a 45 minute long video of my baby. About 5 GB. So I figured it must be due to the file size that it wasn't visible from explorer. (Can't explain why that would be, but M$ keeps changing crap too. I never freaking know what to expect from them either.)
After having deleted all the jpg, png and mov files from the DCIM folder, there were still about 26 files in my camera roll on the iPhone. And I could still view the video.
I decided I wasn't concerned about the photos, I just wanted to figure out how to get the video onto my computer.
So I selected all the photos in the photo app (skipping the 1 remaining video) and tapped the trash can.
Poof! One item remained, and it was one of the garbage photos. My video is GONE! ^#@*&#($^@Q&%( And no, I didn't fat-finger it. I was very careful to select the correct thumbnails.
Looking back, I know that I should have just started the entire file copy process from scratch when funny stuff started happening like mismatched file names. But I am a sleep-deprived new mom and just wasn't thinking clearly. It would be nice if I could have used my file/directory compare program to check the iPhone against my laptop, but it is not compatible with devices, only removable drives.
And no, I don't use iTunes. I stopped using iTunes years ago when it would randomly decide to delete contacts from my phone just because they didn't exist on my computer or some sh-- like that. I have always just manually synced all my stuff and have never had an issue like this. To say I am sad to lose that video is an understatement.
I googled "iPhone undelete" and "iPhone data recovery" and downloaded a trial for one of the likely candidates. It turned up a bunch of garbage, but not my video.
Anyways... I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this type of scenario? Has anybody identified what could cause this to happen? I would like to avoid this in the future. (I will avoid this type of loss, because I know now what I could have done differently to be more careful. But it would be nice if I didn't have to get all neurotic about checking 60GB of photos/videos side by side each time I copy them to my computer...)
I have seen other threads on the forum here regarding corrupted libraries and such, but I am not sure this is the same thing.
One suspicion I have is that it might have to do with the iPhoto app being installed on the phone. I can't articulate why I think that is worth considering. But when I looked at my Video folder, I ended up with many duplicate videos, and all the duplicated videos' file names were 2 numbers apart. As if all the file names got shifted at some point. Very strange.
Thanks for listening to my rant. If anybody has an idea, I am interested. If anybody else has lost precious memories due to this, we should talk. If it is a widespread problem, maybe we can all get together and pound down Apple's door?
As an aside: Why am I unable to select Apple Support Community to post this question to?

In my case number of weird things happen whenever I try to copy pictures/videos from my iPhone from direct USB...
1. JPG files are wrongly named as MOV and vice versa.
2. I copy only folders but in addition files with no extension are copied in the main folder, very strange.
3. Whenever I open one of the folders, strange icons like this () start appearing which cannot be copied even.
Unfortunately I used to delete a lot of files with wrong extensions in the past because I never new they could be fixed.
Apple should answer this!
Note: I am using Windows 8.1 and use a direct USB cable without iTunes to copy the media files directly from My Computer.

File extensions - can't see

I have the option to view file extensions in my folders.
However, I cannot
see the file extensions. i am having some problems with some
things and I
want to make sure I am downloading the *exact* same file from
my server
(where I can see the file extensions just fine. Though they
are checked to
be viewed, I've tried unchecking, rechecking, rebooting.
Ugh.
Thanks,
Libbi

You cannot see file extensions in DW's files panel?
I never heard of such a thing.

I can't open a document because of file extension

Hello,
I can't open a psd document. I'm told the file extension is not right. What can I do? Can I rep are my document?
Thank you,
Axel

Hi everyone,
Thank you for your answers.
What operating system? OS X 10.9.3
what version of Photoshop and how long has it been installed? 14.2.1 x64
do you have other PSD files you can try? Yes and it works.
can you see the file extension? (If not and you are using Windows, you need to open Explorer, and goOrganize > Folder and Search Options > View (tab) > and uncheck Hide extensions for known file types. The file extension is .PSD
The thing is I had a power shut down last time I opened the document at work. Since that tragic episode I can't open it anymore.

Problem with reading file extensions from a Fat 32 Drive

I have been copying image files from my imac 24" OSX 10.6.8 to a Maxxtor One touch external USB drive, the drive is FAT 32 format for a PC. My wife then connects the same drive to her laptop which is running Windows 7. She then sorts the images into different folder gives me back the drive to have more loaded to sort. The problem is when I get the drive back all the image files have a funny little box behind the file extension and the preview icon is blank with a exe in green, the file info says it's a Unix extension.
I tried to remove the little box and open the .tif file or .jpg files and all I get is a image is not readable. The same drive can be mounted back to my wife's laptop and the images open up just fine in Windows media viewer.
What's going on here and how do I fix and prevent this from happening again?
Thanks!
Pat

So No one has any ideas on how this is happening and how to go about repairing the problem.
The trouble as I see it comes up once she moves the files into another folder on Maxxtor drive when it's hooked up to the Win 7 laptoop. The Data then is unuseable on my Mac from that point on.
I need to know WHY so I can aviod this from happening again, and how to fix currently there is 250 GB of image files I can not access on my Mac and I still have about 2 TB of image files to go through, and THEY ALL NEED TO BE ACCESSABLE.
Anybody?

What is going on here? .txt file extension

I apologize for asking this question, but at the risk of sounding completely fried, here goes...
I've saved my program in Notepad with the .java file extension, but when I run dir command in DOS, the file ends with the .txt file extension (i.e. HelloWorld.java.txt). Could someone give me a clue how to keep Notepad from automatically ending my program with this .txt file extension.? I've have not encountered this problem before.
Thanks

Thanks for your help.
I figured out that I didn't have the .java file extension defined in Windows. Because Notepad didn't recognize .java as a valid file type, it would automatically assign the .txt after my program files.
To fix this...
1.) Start Explorer
2.) Select the View...Options... file menu
3.) Click on the File Types tab
4.) Click on the New Type... button
5.) Enter the following in the Description of type: edit box: Java Files
6.) Enter the following in the Associated extension edit box: .java
7.) Click OK
8.) Click OK
Thanks for your responses.

What is the file extension for photoshop for the blanks following the period in "photoshop,___"? I have an older desktop which includes older photoshop files which I have asked a technician to extract for me. He asks for the extension. I can't

I ned the extension for the photoshop program, that is, the letters following the period as shown by the blanks in this: "photoshop.____" I cannot find the extension in my laptop. The photoshop program is a couple of years old and my files are in a desktop out of use for a couple years. I brought the desktop to a technician, asking him to extract the photos. He asks me for the file extension.

If you using Windows you can use the control panel Folder options or from Windows File explorer menu tools>Folder options view tab to change what Microsoft hide on you. Have windows display extension. Apple hide information from users also.

Cannot hide files extensions

Hello,
After last update I noticed that near my files extensions has appeared. I tried to hide them, but when I want to click on tick near file name extension(Folder -> View) nothing happens. After that I tried to change register:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"HideFileExt"=dword:00000001
I got information that I cannot change HideFileExt.
What I suppose to do?
Thanks for respond.

After that I tried to change register:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"HideFileExt"=dword:00000001
I got information that I cannot change HideFileExt.
Hi，
What information did you get? Permission issue such as "Access denied"? If so, please right click the "Advanced"\Permissions, then give youself full control permission, if you don't have permission to do this, please take ownership of
the key, then add yourself to the security group, give full control permission, then change the value of "HideFileExt", click F5 to refresh the registry.
(Pleaes make sure to first backup the registry before making any changes on registry )

SSMS 2014 File Extensions

Why can't I associate file extensions within SSMS 2014? I want .TAB, .PRC, .UDF, etc. to open as a .SQL file would, i.e. connected to a server and with appropriate syntax colour coding.
Adding an extension in Tools\Options\Text Editor\File Extensions has no effect. This is using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 12.0.2000.8.
Worth lodging a bug report?

That's not the problem. Files such as .PRC or .UDF will open within SSMS 2014 when double-clicked from Explorer, however they don't have syntax colouring, don't offer the option to specify a server connection and can't be executed, (not surprising
if they're not connected to a server!).
This looks like a bug that was previously reported in SQL 2012, which if this is the case, is frankly pathetic from MS. Every organisation I've worked for differentiate their database object types by these kind of file extensions, so my current employer
is certainly not unique in this. IF this can't be resolved I'll have to pay for something that will work, such as Quest's Toad product, not ideal when I've already paid a huge sum of money for SQL Server.
