File name display in delete dialog box

In the course of working with photos in Lightroom, I've noticed a small user interface issue that can lead to confusion while deleting photos.
In Explorer, a highlighted file is directly tied to any action selected via right click. For example, if I have file1 selected and I right click on file2, the focus changes to file2 and it is highlighted.
In Lightroom, the highlight does not follow when an image is selected via right click. If I'm viewing photo1 and it is highlighted, right clicking on photo2 only changes the filename display above the filmstrip.
Normally, this change in filename display would be sufficient visual feedback to be comfortable while deleting a file. However, if Lightroom is in the process of "Loading..." an image, there is sometimes a delay in the filename display update and more than once, I've had to pause to make sure I'm deleting the proper image.
I've noticed this most frequently when switching back from Photoshop. If I've opened a Lightroom image in Photoshop (as a PSD) but decided not to move forward with the work, I'll switch back to Lightroom to delete the newly-created PSD. During this process, I'll hit a "Loading..." delay and and the filename display above the filmstrip will lag as I try to right click and delete what I think is the PSD.
A simple solution, and one that I'd suspect users would appreciate given the value of RAW images, would be to display the name of the file(s) being deleted in the confirmation dialog box. If it's an important enough decision to warrant a multi-option dialog box, I think there's obvious value in confirming what is being deleted.
Another item that came to mind -- It would be great if there was a preference setting that locked the user from deleting RAW images. That way, I'd never have to worry about selecting a RAW instead of a PSD and it would address some of the anxiety that comes with placing master images so close to PSDs from later in the workflow.

Hi
You can not use File-Upload UI element inside confirmation dialog ,because there is no provision to add any UI ,except Button.
Please avoid my previous reply .

How can I add form field value to the file name in save as dialog box

I do not want the form to be saved automatically, just want the form to auto populate the "file name" only.
A little background on the forms I want to use: My company has 70 retail outlets, I'll use one of our pdf forms called an "Incident Report" as an example. I would like for a store manager to be able to complete the form, then email the form to the main office (I already have javascript to add field values and form name to the email subject line), once the main office receives it, I want for them to be able to file the pdf electronically on our server. We have mutliple forms that we use so I do not want any of the forms to automatically save anywhere, (at this time anyway) I just want the office personnel to be able to click "save as" (or whatever they will need to click) and the form automatically add certain field values from the pdf they have received, of which will be different each time the form is sent to the office (Date, store #, employee name etc.) in addition to the name of the form in the "File name" of the "Save As" dialog box. The main office employees will decide into which server file the pdf should be saved.
I'm using Acrobat 8 professional, the stores and office personnel use Adobe reader.
One little note: We currently print and file a lot of paper on a daily bases, as soon as I can get this to work, we are going green.
Me and a lot of trees in this will really apprecitate any help you can give with this! :-)

You might want to take a look at the document "Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript" (js_developer_guide.pdf) which is part of the Adobe Acrobat SDK, which can be downloaded here. Read the "Privileged versus non-privileged context" (p. 45ff.). You will find an example for "Executing privileged methods in a non-privileged context". Should be almost exactly what you are looking for.
Small Outline: For security reasons ("the user always has to know what's going on") you are not allowed to use the "Doc.saveAs"-method without the user permission (--> in a non-privileged context). In order to reach the goal of a privileged context you can use a trusted function. You do this by creating a JavaScript file (*.js) in either the Application-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts") or the User-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%AppData%\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts"). Add the following content to the new file:
myTrustedBrowseForDoc = app.trustedFunction( function ( oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = app.browseForDoc( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function ( doc, oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = doc.saveAs( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
The developer guide actually wants you to add this content to the existing "config.js" file. I recommend creating a new file, since its easier to deploy in a network. Either way, every client/user who needs to be able to save documents this way, needs this JavaScript Code in his Application/User-JavaScript-Folder.
Within the Acrobat Document, which you want to obtain a certain file name, you can now use the trusted functions "myTrustedBrowseForDoc" and "myTrustedSaveAs" to store the file. To call the trusted functions and deliver the file name you can either you use a form field (button) or you add a new menu item. Add the following JavaScript Action to the button/menu item and change "Roller Coaster" to the name of the field which contains the value which you want to become the new file name:
var fileName = this.getField("Roller Coaster").valueAsString;
try {
     var oRetn = myTrustedBrowseForDoc({bSave: true, cFilenameInit: fileName + ".pdf"});
     try {
          myTrustedSaveAs(this, { cPath: oRetn.cPath, cFS:oRetn.cFS });
     catch(e) {
          console.println("Save not allowed, perhaps readonly.");
catch(e) {
console.println("User cancelled Save As dialog box");
Good Luck!

Excel 2010 missing default suggested file name in Save As dialog box

I’m using Excel 2010 running on Windows 7 (32 bit). When I open a certain file which produces the following message: "A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates", and then go to “Save As” (or “Save”) the
file, the default suggested file name is missing (blank). This didn't occur in previous versions of Excel.
In previous versions, Excel would automatically populate the original file name in to the File Name field.
I have searched all over the net, looking for a way to change Excel so that it will once again populate the file name in this situation.
To reproduce:
Create a new blank workbook
save as type “Web Page”, (i.e. File name: “Blank Example.html”)
Close workbook
In windows, rename file from .html to .xls (i.e. rename “Blank Example.html” to “Blank Example.xls”)
In Excel open renamed file (i.e. “Blank Example.xls”) and click “Yes” when prompted with the “A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates” message.
Do a “Save As” and you will notice that the File Name is blank. In previous versions, this field would contain the current workbook file name
(i.e. “Blank Example.xls”)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jaynet,
In order to re-produce this, you need to answer "yes" to the rename file prompt and then continue with step 5 (above).
The reason for this is not an exercise in futility - I assure you. At my work and elsewhere, when web developers have created features to permit the end user to save web data in Excel format, often times the Excel files are saved locally in Excel's
html format (but with the .xls
extension).
(I actually prefer the .xls
extension, because it is easier to just double-click the file to open in Excel, rather than to select the open-with and then select Excel. a file with the .html extension will default open in your default browser. Now, I could change my default program
for the .html extension, but that would only solve a part of the problem and would not really address the bigger issue and that being that Microsoft changed a behavior in Excel and may not even be aware that it was a much used feature. )
To continue, when I go to open the resulting Excel file, I am prompted with the message that the file type does not match the extension (which is fine and not bothersome to me). It's at this point when I go to save the file that I get really annoyed.
In previous versions of Excel, the default file name would be pre-filled with the current name of the file and the default file type would state that it is a Web html file. I would just change the file type to Excel Workbook and hit enter to save.
I would be prompted with "Are you sure you want to overwrite your existing file?" message and I would click "yes" and that would be that.
However, in Excel 2010, because the default file name is blank, I then need to re-type the name into the field to save the file.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

MS Word: This file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK, and give the document a new name in the save dialog box.

This is not a question. I believe I've found a new issue and the fix for it.
The situation:
A brand new iMac 27" running Yosemite 10.10.1
MacMini server running 10.8.5 server.
The issue:
Client on iMac trying to work on MS Word documents stored on server was requiring him to save the documents to his desktop and then copy them back to the folder on the server. The exact error message was, "This file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK, and give the document a new name in the save dialog box."
The issue is unique to this computer in an office of 10 client computers and three servers.
Attempted fixes:
Verified that the ".Temporaryitems" folder existed and the permissions were set properly.
Repaired permissions on the client and the network share.
Definitive fix:
By default, Yosemite 10.10.1 uses SMB for connecting file shares. When I overrode the default and switched to AFP protocol, the issue went away.
I hope this helps someone else.

That was it. What an operating system. It is very helpful to view files you are looking for. But if you have preview on you cannot save files.

Safari "Download Linked File As ..." dialog box seems to convert 3 or more consecutive period chars (\056) in the new file name into a Unicode ellipsis char \342\200\246 in the file name. How prevent this ?

I know nothing about “EndNote”, but allow me to give you some general advice. Your first, commented-out, line (“--section to wait for window to pop up”) indicates that you need to change the basic way you are tackling what you want to do. When writing any script, if you know the name and location of a file or a directory (folder) you should not cause (or allow, or need) your script to open an Open or a Save window -- just use the path that you already know.

Project deleted in iPhoto 11 ver. 9.1.1
After spending three months building a twenty six page Book Project in iPhoto i added a page and later decided to delete the page. I selected the page, pressed the delete key and confirmed the delete dialog box ( i didn't read, dummy) by pressing the delete button. The whole project was gone, the undo menu was grayed out and there was nothing in the iPhoto trash about my Book.
Surly I can find this if I knew the path to find the project in a library on a back column I have of my hard drive.. Could anyone help me?

Sorry I'm having a hard time getting this.
If I go to my hard drive BIGMAC>Library>Application Support>iPhoto>the only thing in this folder is Themes.
However, when I "Get Info" it's 580MB for 24,421 items. iPhoto says I have 35,977 photos. I would think the database would be into the GB for this many photos.
If I go to BIGMAC>system>Library>I find nothing about iPhoto
Is the iPhoto file in the Application Support the one I need to replace with my backup?
Thanks so much for your help.

MAC OSX 10.9.5: What is this strange file format in the Open Dialog box?

Hello all.
I'd never really noticed this, but I saw a rather unusual file format in the Open dialog box and was wondering why it appeared as it did. It appears as follows from the file/open dialog box:
To be completely transparent, I'd originally posted this image on my twitter feed to @illustrator. Since then I have been in communication with Scott but the advice has been to reinstall Illustrator. If this had happened on one machine, I'd be inclined to agree that this may do something, but since discovering this unusual format, i've since seen it on six macs running OS 10.9.5 and illustrator version 18.1.0 OR 18.1.1
Can anyone else confirm that they see the same thing; or if there is a difference, what this format is meant to actually be. I suspect this is a bug but need confirmation by other users.
Colin

The error occurs on all machines I have tested. 5 of the machines have the suitcase fusion auto-activation plug-in, but one had no plug-ins at all. All software was installed literally "out of the box" from the creative cloud.
UPDATE - tested 3 more machines in the office all running 18.1.1 on OSX 10.9.5 and they ALL do the same thing, all installed with the suitcase fusion auto-activation plug-in, but otherwise installed "out of the box" from creative cloud.

File Names do not delete

On my external drive (and not on my internal drive) my file names do not delete after deleting the actual file but leave a ghost behind. I have thousands of these ghosts now on my external drive and I don't know how to delete them. When I try to delete
them it says that the file does not exist anymore. I've tried the recommended solutions to no avail. Maybe it makes a difference on an external drive?

Hi,
Firstly, please run chkdsk /f /r command to repair the disk error and then tried again:
Run Check Disk from the Command Line to Find and Fix Errors
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd637756.aspx
if it's not helpful, boot computer into
system recovery options menu and select Command Prompt, type the following commands:
Type in "cd [path]" into the command prompt, where [path] is the location the ghost file in. Hit enter.
Type "del [ghost file]", where [ghost file] is the name of the ghost file in question.
After that, reboot the computer.

Can anybody help me with this??? What is lacking...
Thank you in advance.

Put this code into a servlet rather than a JSP.
JSP are for returning text based HTML pages. It adds extra carriage returns into the response that will corrupt the file, and prevent the dialog showing up.
This code is much better off being in a servlet
If you are using a FileInputStream, you should be using a ServletOutputStream rather than the JSP writer: response.getOutputStream()
When dealing with file input in a JSP/Servlet you should use the methods of ServletContext. getRealPath() turns a website relative file into a real location on disk. getResourceAsStream() opens the file for you. getResourceAsStream() is more reliable as it will work even if the web app is deployed in a packed WAR.

You too can display non-modal dialog boxes: LrDialogs.presentFloatingDialog

Undocumented function: LrDialogs.presentFloatingDialog
ref: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/sdk_lrdialogs_presentfloatingdialog_ and_showstringsdialog_undocumented
This works for displaying non-modal dialog box:
LrFunctionContext.postAsyncTaskWithContext( "test", function( context )
    local LrPhotoPictureView = import 'LrPhotoPictureView'
    local photo = catalog:getTargetPhoto()
    local pictureView = LrPhotoPictureView.makePhotoPictureView{
          width = 400, height = 400, photo = photo,
    local result = LrDialogs.presentFloatingDialog {
        title = "Thumbnail test",
        background_color = LrColor ("white"), -- required for (uncolored) static_text display, else inside of box is black and so can't see black text.
        contents = vf:column {
            vf:static_text {
                title = photo:getFormattedMetadata ("fileName"),
            pictureView,
            --vf:edit_field { - no sirve, presumably keystrokes are not trapped by box.
            --    bind_to_object = prefs,
            --    value = app:getGlobalPrefBinding( 'tempForTest' ),
            vf:push_button {
                title = "Click me",
                action = function( button )
                    app:show{ info="Pushed" } -- glorified call to LrDialogs.presentModalDialog - works.
                end,
    -- LrDialogs( app:getGlobalPref( 'tempForTest' ), result ) -- no sirve.
end )
Enjoy!

I assume that to be the case, and so it takes a moment to come up if there is much contents.

For me, it would be very useful, if it was reliable, but so far, not so good.

                -- with this here, Lr crashes after adjusting slider and then switching tabs - comment it out, and all is well:
                --vf:static_text {

How to Display save as dialog box.

Hai all,
am having a jsp page in which i display some values in Table. if i click a button it should show a save as dialog box, from that i should give a file name then all the content must be save in that file name. Any one give idea to open save as dialogbox from button click.
Thanks.

You can t do what you want.
But you can do something similar..
In stead of save as do a submit to a servlet and have you servlet download the file to the client
download by setting your contenttype to
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; name=\""+filename+"\"; filename=\""+filename+"\";");

Nowhere to type file name in save as dialog, is this normal . . .

Hello;
here's the problem;
I'm having some problems with my main worksation and I'm going to probably rebuild it from scratch
(HDD problem & an AVG Baked registry & network stack)
so I've started by installing AA 2.0 (Full) onto one of my backup systems
& will follow with AA3.0 (Upgrade) if I can verify that the system can do the job for me
here's the problem;
I installed AA2.0 which is needed to get AA3.0(upgrade) to install
but I haven't activated or registered yet because I don't want to waste any activations
if I can't use the system
is it normal for the save as dialog to not have a place to type a file name when AA isn't activated?
System:
HP/Compaq DC7600
P4HT enabled 3.2GHz
2GB DDR2 533MHz RAM
Lots of HDD Space on 5 HDDs
sidebar:
why is my insertion point moved all over the page while I type this in firefox?

thanks for the reply:
don't know if this some sort of a display redraw issue:
but if I just hit enter I get the file saved as untitled.wav (which is floating in the middle of the screen not in the correct location)
and the file ends up in "My Music Folder" (which I never use, but can't change folders either)
-good grief I hate M$ for their My . . . crap folders
the system is using similar Intel-GMA integrated graphics as my main workstation
the only difference is processors and the chipset is one generation back
my main workstation has 965ry and the backup has 945g

Hi,
To implement general checks in SRM,you can use BADI "BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI".But the messages will not come in form of POP UPS.To display messages in the form of Pop up ,you need to implement both the BADI's BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI and BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI.
