File open dialog doesn't appear after a period of time in latest version of Illustrator CC 2014

Hi All,
Is anyone else having a problem doing a File > Open after using Illustrator for a while? I select File > Open and nothing happens after I've used Illustrator for a while. Doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, the File Open dialog just doesn't appear so I have to shut down and re-open Illustrator.
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Sumit,
I've tried as suggested and reset preferences a few times as outlined on the help page you referenced, but I still have the same issue. If I open one file, within what seems to be a random amount of "open file" or "place" commands, the file open dialog is not invoked and I have to shut down Illustrator and re-open it. Then I can do a open or place once or twice before I'm locked out again. Maybe a re-install of the app?
Thanks,
Ben

File Open Dialog Box on Button Click

Hi
I am devloping some webpages using JSF and RichFaces..
I would like to appear File open Dialog box to choose single file and multiple files and another Folder chooser dialog box to choose the folder content..
Both the operation should be performed while choosing the Button Choose File and Choose Folder...
I have already tried Input type = file and aphace tomohawk..
But i all the components are coming with text box and browse button..
I dont need that. I need to open the dialog box once i clilck my choose file r folder button and it should work browser indepent.....

HTML doesn't provide you the possibility to select multiple files or select folders at a single browse. Thus JSF can't do any much for you. Best what you can do is to write a signed applet or web start application which does the task. The Mojarra Scales component library has a ready-to-use component which embeds an applet which does that task. Check [https://scales.dev.java.net/multiFileUpload.html].

Making pull down menus and file open dialogs speak

Hi,
I'm trying to create some applications that include speech
assistance for the visually impaired. there are two things that are
causing problems:
1. I can't make the file open dialog boxes speak. I would
like to emulate the behavior of third party screen reader
applications that speak the identites of GUI elements as the user
tabs through them. I am able to do this for custom dialogs made
with the MUI Xtra by putting voiceSpeak commands in the callback
handler so that as each widget gets focus during tabbing, it speaks
its identity. But this doesn't appear to be possible with file open
dialogs created with FileXtra.
2. I have created pull down menus using installMenu. This
works great, but I would like the user to be able to navigate these
menus using the arrow keys, and have each menu item speak as it
navigated to.
If anyone has any ideas about how to accomplish these things
in D11, I would be very grateful.
thanks.

function closeSubMenu():Void { 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Void.
this["menuButton"+i].onRollOver = function():Void { 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Void.

Single click in file open dialogs in KDE4.1

Hi,
In my KDE 4.1, there's something that doesn't seem right:
If in system settings, mouse&keyboard, I set the option "Double-click to open files and folders", then it doesn't actually listen to that setting.
In a file open dialog, it opens a file already with a single click. This makes it very hard to select multiple files in the dialog (e.g. when opening files with kate), because if you press CTRL and click on the file, instead of just making a selection of it, it opens that 1 file and closes the file open dialog.
Is this really the intention? How can I select multiple files that are not all below each other?
Is it the intention that it doesn't listen to the double click setting? And is it the intention that the behaviour is inconsistent with any other desktop environment? I mean, they didn't just change something universally accepted, right?

I mean if I just use the below script, it works.
getURL("javascript:loadintoIframe('myframe',
'v_vista_b5.html')");
but if I want to control 2 iframes in one clicking, it
doesn't work(it basically load only the second statment, and skips
the first). I'd like to know is it possible to combine below 2
javascript into one?
getURL("javascript:loadintoIframe('myframe',
'v_vista_b5.html')");
getURL("javascript:loadintoIframe('topframe',
'top_v_vista_b5.html')");
thanks again.

Import dialog doesn't appear (OS X)

When I connect my SanDisk Firewire memory card reader to my Mac Pro, Lightroom doesn't open and the import dialog doesn't appear. This worked fine on my previous G5. iPhoto isn't opening either... nothing happens at all when I plug in the reader.

Chris, you may have already done this, but be sure to check 'Show Import Dialog when a Memory card is detected' under Import in LR PReferences, as well.

File open dialog cannot open directory

Hi,
I encountered a problem in version 1.2 on Windows machine.
I have my SQL scripts stored in a directory called SQL, when I try to open this directory in the file open dialog it just doesn't open up. It seems to be connected to the name SQL.
When I rename the directory it works just fine...
Best regards
Christian

I could replicate this problem when opening the file through:
right click in sql worksheet & select open from context menu.
Bug # 6318825 has been filed for this.
As, a workaround you could use File-Open from main menu or toolbar button. Those work well.

30EA3 - Windows: incorrect "mydocument" path in File- Open dialog window

Hi,
I have noticed this error in previous versions as well. On windows, users can change the default mydocument path. After the change, all windows file dialogues with the 'mydocuments' shortcut open the new, changed directory.
In SQL Developer, the File->Open dialog window has a 'My Documents' shortcut which uses the constant path C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents. Instead of this shortcut, the program should lookup the real value of the Mydocuments path and should open the correct directory.
Regards,
Gellért

Thats true. We use use the default.
We could look at the registry and check HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders for the "My Documents" if it is set.

[SOLVED] Gtk3 file open dialog Gio error

When opening a file open dialog in a Gtk3 app after the update to 3.8, programs fail with the following error:
GLib-GIO-ERROR **: attempting to create schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' without a path
I tried running gsettings-data-convert and glib-compile-schemas manually with no avail. The file /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml contains
<schema id='org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' path='/org/gtk/settings/file-chooser/'>
so there is a path specified in the schema. Judging by the source of Gio, Passing NULL for the path to the GSettings constructor (which presumable happens here) should be legal in this case.
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks.

Ah, finally found the reason for this. I had an old-ish Gtk+ (git HEAD of branch gtk-3-6 from a few weeks before) installed from source in /usr/local. Somehow its schemas took precendence over 3.8, resulting in the error.

Set File Open dialog path in Acrobat

Hi forum,
Is there a way to set the path for the File Open dialog that shows in Acrobat?
The situation I have is that the navigation up and down folders to Watermarks and files to be inserted is a painful process.
I would like to add buttons to the add-on toolbar that set the File Open dialog path to predefined folders, however after reviewing the Javascript guide it looks like this simple task is not possible, or exposed by the API.
Could someone please confirm if this is possible or not?
Thanks
Simon

No, it's not possible.

File open dialog to just get the user selected file name

Hi,
I am working on asynchronous file storage to KPRO through my ABAP WD application. For this asynchronous upload
operation, I just need the file name and file path(not the content). The KPRO servers could be made to use SAPFTP, SAPHTTP in the background to upload documents (triggered via tRFC's).
Is it possible to have a file open dialog (similar to java file open) which just returns the file path and file name instead of the
content? Current fileUpload UI element also loads the content which is not desired behaviour for me (because could be a performance problem with large documents uploading).
Is it possible to select multiple filenames? Thomas Jung's Flash island multiple upload works, but not in my
asynchronous scenario. Because flex fileReferenceList + upload operation works synchronously.

You must remember the START-OF-SELECTION event here, after you select the file name and click F8, the START-OF-SELECTION event is triggered, but if it is not there, nothing will happen.
if sy-subrc <> 0 or l_rc < 0.
    message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno       "mo271101

SQL Server Management Studio File Open dialog is very slow to change directories

I am running Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 10.0.2531.0 on Windows 7 Professional.
I have an intermittent problem with the File Open dialog. Sometimes it works reasonably well, but often it takes a very long time (a few minutes) to change directory. While it is doing whatever it is doing, the dialog and all of SSMS becomes unresponsive
- I can't even cancel the dialog. It sometimes changes the cursor to an hourglass and sometimes not.
I do not have this problem with any other application.
I can open File Open one time and have this delay for every single directory change or if I open the Look In dropdown then, after closing it I can open it again and it will work with normal delays.
It is slow more often than it is normal.
It makes accessing files very impractical.

Hi,
10.0.2531.0 is SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1 (release April 2009)
No guarantee this will fix your issue, but may be worth testing the latest Service Pack 3 (released October 2011) to see if that helps

File Open Dialog Box

Under my install of Vista Enterprise on an AD network, I'm am not getting the "computer" option to access local and network drives when I select "File/Open". All I get is the redirected "home" directory for that user. True for all Adobe applications (have the latest Creative Suite 4). Other Windows apps using Windows file/open dialog box can get to the network. Tech support said I should have an option to select the OS dialog box, but I do not see that on my install.

In Edit > Preferences > File Handling, uncheck "Enable Version Cue". This is where you will find it in CS4; earlier versions may have slight variations. In some versions, you may also get a checkbox in the file open dialog (down at the lower left, as I recall) that lets you select OS dialog or Adobe dialog. Also, in Bridge (again CS4), go to Edit > Preferences > Startup Scripts, and uncheck Adobe Version Cue CS4. (I have this unchecked, and even with Enable Version Cue checked in PS I don't get the Adobe dialog or the option to set it, so the setting in bridge seems to be the master.)

File Open Dialog Box Hiding Behind - Urgent

Hi All
We have write code for Opening File in File Open Dialog Box. But its stays in inactive mode behind SBO. Once we press ALT +TAB only then we can see it. How to Activate it or make it visible automatically in SAP Business One.
The Code for Opening File we have written is in C#
<b>OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "
objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (.xls)|.xls";
if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()!= DialogResult.Cancel)
string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
}</b>
Thanks in Advance
Asutosh

Common problem... Do the following instead.
System.Windows.Forms.Form form = new System.Windows.Forms.Form();
form.TopMost = true;
OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "\";
objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (*.xls)|*.xls";
if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog(form)!= DialogResult.Cancel)
string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
That should do it

File open dialog box broken in all apps! ( 10.5.6/7

Hi, I've got a very odd problem that Apple phone support seem to be unable to solve.
Basically, every file open dialog box system wide is broken, from file->open in textedit to the browse button on websites for uploading files.
When trying to display this finder panel, it beachballs for ten seconds then gives me a grey area where the usual finder browser usually resides and the open / cancel buttons at the bottom of the panel.
I've repaired permissions which had no effect.
The finder works perfectly other than it's little file open dialog which other applications use...
Updating to 10.5.7 did nothing to fix the issue.
Does anybody have any idea how to resolve this?
Thanks!
chris.

V.K. had you create another user to eliminate the possibility that it is a preference file causing the problem. It was reported the problem remained with another user, so the problem is system wide, not with a single user's preferences.
The Archive & Install is relatively painless. It only replaces the system and leaves everything else untouched. What is replaced is saved in a new folder it creates named Previous System, in case there is something there you might want to bring back (most often 3rd party files, but I have never needed anything from the Previous System folder).
The only hassle with the A & I is resetting preferences. If you check the option during the A & I to retain user settings, there is usually not very much that needs resetting.
