File Open/Browse dialog?

Is there any way to bring up (and get info from) the standard
Windows File Open/Browse dialog in CF?
Thanks!

if i'm understanding you correctly, <input type="file"
name="foo" /> ... but this isn't CF. it's straight HTML.

How to open File open/save dialog for a file saved in the Appl. Server?

Hi Experts,
My requirement is that, there will be a link in my BSP page "Link to BI Report" and when the user will click this link, the File open/save Dialog box will appear for a BI Report file that will be in a fixed path in the Application Server. I have checked with <a href="/usr/sap/tmp/bi_report.csv"> tag but it is not working. The BI report file will be currently in the CSV format. Any ideas about how to achieve this? Thanks in advance.

If you want to work in tabbed view, do it like this:
Select the move tool. Go to the tab that contains one of the image files.
Drag the image over the tab that has the blank document (Keep holding down the mouse button). Wait till that tab opens.
Drag & drop the image into the blank document.

File Open/Save dialog

Hi,
One of my pet peeves about Jdeveloper and by extension of SQLDeveloper is that the file open/save dialog does not have quick way to navigate to familiar places on my computer like "My Documents" or "Desktop". For eg., in Word, I can navigate to My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places.
I know Jdeveloper and SQLD are also meant for the Unix Platform, but having shortcuts like My Network Places, Desktop, My Computer etc atleast for the Windows based tools would make it immensly easier to find files.
Something even better would be to allow each person to customize that list of shortcuts he can have in that list.
Thanks
Alex

Yes, this is absolutely necessary for Windows users!
In a non-java Windows application I can usually put a shortcut to my favored directory in the directory an application might default to, then double-click it and the windows environment is smart enough to move to that directory, and I can save my files.
Java is stupid in this regard. It thinks you are trying to save the file to the name of the shortcut. I CANNOT stand an application that isn't smart enough to set preferences to default file locations!
I should also add that I set the USER_DIR to the directory I save all my files in (on my u:drive) and SQL Developer then runs those files without the entire path (I can just put in @a for example) but it is too STUPID to save to this directory!

Two Desktop items appear in file/open close dialog boxes.

In all applications in the file open/save dialog box I have two "Desktop" items on the left toolbar. In Finder it is showing up the right way with only one "Desktop" item on the left tool bar. How do I get rid of this extra "Desktop" item on my open/save dialog boxes?
Thanks.

1. Drag all Desktop icons off your Finder sidebar.
2. In Finder >> Preferences >> Sidebar UNcheck all options.
3. navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

File Open/Save dialog Restrict the user path selection Is there any way?

Hello,
Is there any way by which we can restrict the user from selecting the path from the Folder Browser/ File Open/ File Save dialog boxes?
For example, I have a list of paths & want to allow the users to select from those paths or their sub folders. Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks!

Hello Vinay Pugalia,
>>For example, I have a list of paths & want to allow the users to select from those paths or their sub folders. Is there any way to achieve this?
As far as I know, starting with Windows Vista, the Open and Save As common dialog boxes have been superseded by the
Common Item Dialog:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646960%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
You could have a try to restrict the value of “look in”(shown in the opne dialog) and “Save in”(shpwn in the save dialog). If you want an example about the usage of this API, you could post a code sample request to:
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/site/requests

File Open/Save Dialog box

Dear Friends,
I have a unique problem, I developed a form (in Oracle Forms 6.0), utilizing the Forms "GET_FILE_NAME" built-in to activate the FILE Open Dialog box.
It is working fine if I execute the form in WINDOWS-NT environment.
But the same form, when I web deploy it and run it under both NETSCAPE or INTERNET browser
the "GET_FILE_NAME" built-in fails to get activated, i.e no File Open Dialog box appears on the browser.
Any Clues ??
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Mohammed,
the file open dialog you used with winnt is based on the windows api, wich does, of course, not work in a java applet.
If you want to use file access from within webforms, you have to extend the forms applet with your own java classes. To do this, you can use the PJC mechanism forms provides (pjc=pluggable java components). Furthermore, if you want to do things like open files on the client (wich are not allowed for java applets) you have to sign your java classes. These things seem to be very complex (and they are), but I've done this work successfully. If you need more information, look at at technet, there are lots of white papers and examples.

"File Open" "Browse" Crashes Application

Hi,
I upgraded Leopard from Tiger this morning on my G5 PPC internal hard drive.
In any application, if I select "file/open" or "browse" the application crashes.
I repaired permissions and zapped the pram but still no luck.
Is there any thing else I can try before installing Leopard as a clean install (instead of an upgrade?)

Ok. Now, if disk utility crashes, that seems something more underlying.
Have you used the automatic software update or the "combo" (standalone) update for 10.5.6. If you did the automatic, I highly recommend to download the combo and update (overinstall is perfectly fine).
And you have reset your NVRAM? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
That should solve a few issues, too, although yours sound more system related, and indicative that the upgrade may not have installed correctly. Can you access the console (crashlogs)?

LabVIEW 2012 crashes on different File Open/Save dialogs, if last working directory no longer exists

On several Windows 7, 64 bit machines, if I open LV2012 SP1 f1 64 bits, create a VI and save it on a directory, exit LabVIEW, delete the directory where I saved the VI, restart LabVIEW and do a File/Open, LabView goes puff and disappears.
Sometimes it happens on File/Save As. To fix this I have to double click on an existing VI on Explorer, save it, and then after exiting and restarting LabVIEW I can do File Open again.
I do have Classic Shell installed on all the systems, but even after uninstalling it and rebooting the machine, the behavior is the same.
I tried removing the file from the list of last opened files in LabVIEW.ini but that doesn't do the trick.

Not sure if this is related or something else, however I now have a VI on my desktop that if I double click on it brings up LV 12.0.1f3/64, which opens and shows me the file. If I then do File/Save As/Rename and hit Continue, LV crashes.
Error is: Exception: Access violation (0xC0000005) at EIP=0x000007FEFC2DE3C4. I have an about 200 KB dump file if anyone wants it, as the Send button on my error report is disabled and help just tells me to contact my administrator, which is me (and I configured the VLM to allow users to do that, stop and restarted the VLM but still no go).

File open/download dialog box flashes on the screen, then disappears.

I am upgrading to Firefox 17 (from 3.5.2) on Linux SuSE SLED 10. I am only moving to Firefox 17, as SLED 10 does not support anything higher than that and it is not feasible to upgrade my entire my OS.
My issue is that when clicking on a file on a website, the file dialog box (open with/save) flashes on the screen for a split second then disappears. For items that I have handled by specific applications in mimeTypes.rdf, it does the specified action. However, any file type that I have designated in mimeTypes as "alwaysAsk", I get this issue. I do not have this issue in FF 3.5.2 and I have gone as far as using my 3.5.2 mimeTypes.rdf and prefs.js files on my 17 install and it does not help.
I have looked through many forums and have not been able to determine how to fix this or whether it is fixable in 17.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page. A list of settings should appear
# Filter the list by typing in the search bar at the top. Type in ''scanWhenDone''. '''You should now find the "browser.download.scanWhenDone" preference'''.
#Double-click on that preference to set the value to ''false''.
#Next, try to download something and see if it still hangs.

If it doesn't work, reenable the pref that was disabled.

The "Recently Used" entry in the file open/save dialog

The file selection dialog (eg: save/open/etc) on gtk applications has a "Recently Used" option:
Over size imaged reduced to link
This has generally not shown any options for me (for some reason, firefox suddenly showed a single entry this time).
I find no use for it either, so rather than having it list recent entries I'd like this option gone (or at least stop being the default!), and the last-used (or maybe just my home) being shown by default.
Any hints on how to disable this? What about the "Search" option just above it (equally non-working, and equally undesired by myself).
Moderator edit: Converted over sized thumbnail to text. (Hint: Your img embedded in a url was perfect -- except the image should be a thumbnail, not the full sized image. Feel free to edit this post and remove my redaction if you want to use img tags with a small thumbnail)

No, I'm not using gnome. And this was actually the first time I saw this dialog non-empty. However, it's not related to gtk2 or gtk3: I see the same behaviour on gtk3 apps.
I all honesty though, I don't care about recently used being populated because I anticipate having the same results you've just described.

Thanks, I'm aware of this, but this merely covers the firefox download option (firefox seems to actually remember the last used), not all gtk apps in general.

File open/save dialog causes SPOD with 10.10.3

Just updated to 10.10.3 from 10.10.2 using the combo updater (after hearing stories of people being hosed by the normal updater and having success once the combo was applied).
Now, however, I find that whenever any application needs to open or save a file, and the directory selected in the dialog has a LOT of files (like 10K files), I get a SPOD (spinning pinwheel of death) for minutes. MINUTES. This never happened on any previous iteration of any MacOS. This is on a MBP late-2013 with 16GB of RAM and a SSD.
Already repaired permissions. Checked the filesystem with Disk Utility. It's OK.
This is really debilitating.
I have a saved process sample output from Safari while it was in SPOD mode with the file dialog open. I can upload this if would be interesting to anyone. NOTE: just attempting to save this sample trace from within Activity Monitor caused that application to SPOD while it was asking me where to save the sample output.

Keyboard shortcut for the Document Folder in file open/save dialog

Does anyone know if there exists a keyboard shortcut for Document Folder in the File Save/Open Dialog? <command><shift>O works in the Finder. I tried variations of that in the dialog and didn't find any. <command>D takes you to the desktop. I tried other variations surrounding that to get to the Document Folder and didn't find any.
Anyone? Bueller?

There isn't.

Custom file open dialog box

Dear Friends!
I need a custom file open/select dialog box (i.e a LabVIEW VI) that I can customize to mimic the looks of my project color scheme etc. Does one exist somewhere? If someone has already made one could you kindly share it with me? I'll be so much grateful to you.The one below is the one that windows provide, I need it in the VI form (so that I can customize it, change its colors etc) and use this in my application.

Help using Dreamweaver cs3 tutorial, chapter 8, opening browser window dialog box

Hello,
I am using the adobe classroom in a book tutorial for cs3 and have run into a snafu on page 188 of chapter 8. I have tried to select the + sign under the smaller top photo to create a pop-up window. when I select the + sign I cannot access the open browser window dialog box to enter info. I cannot seem to use the link field in the property inspector for this. The link area under source will not come up, just the link over target, which in turn will not bring up the open browser dialog box. Any solutions? Thanks, DesignChambers

Hi David,
I just had the same problem. I cannot preview in Mozilla (or IE). The program becomes unresponsive and I have to close it. Is there any chance that Adobe will update Dreamweaver CS3 so that we can preview in modern browsers?

File Open trys A:\ first

I'm using version 1.5.1.54.40 on Windows XP. Everytime i try to open a file it first tries to open A:\ and give me an error. I assume there is a preference i can change, but i cant figure it out. Thanks for your help.

I do have an internal floppy installed, but never use it. I was just about to say forget it because i was having trouble replicating it when i think i discovered the switch on the issue. If i open SQL Developer and then then do a file/open, the dialog starts in the last folder i was in when i exited last time. I would think thats the expected behavior. However, when i connect to a database and then do a file/open, i get the i/o error on the A:\ because its trying to start in A:\. This behaviour had been inconsistent until i realized it depended on whether i had an open database connection. Now i can replicate it every time .. so far.
