File Open Dialogue has forward slash and starts up on A: drive.

2.1.1.64
This is minor but bothers me each time I click file open.
Click File -> Open
File open dialogue appears.
SQL Developer tells me my A: drive is not accessabile after my A: hard drive makes a grinding noise. I almost forgot that little bit of info since I have not used the A: drive since around the year 2000. :)
SQL Developer puts a "/" forward slash in the file name box. Why?
I have to press OK.
Then navigate to the C: drive or another drive.
Why does SQL developer want to open the A: drive and not go to a more likely drive like say C:? Then there would be no message and no having to click OK? My recommendation is that SQL Developer File Open dialogue start up on the C: drive or at least just show the directory structure and not make me click anything. Remove the forward slash from the filename field also.

At first this seemed to work. SQLDev would startup and open a file for me from the r:\ drive in its own tab that I was previously editing in a prior session. File->open would startup on the R:\ drive. However, with no file in its own tab on startup no matter what AddVMOption I put in the sqldeveloper.conf file from the link provided SQLDev starts up on the a:\ drive? Changing the "start in" dir on the icon on my desktop had no affect either.

  • Reverse order in File- Open dialogue

    The file/folder list in the File->Open dialogue window is "stuck" at showing in reverse order. I can right-click in the Open dialogue window and sort ascending, but the next time I open a file it is back to reverse order.
    I have experimented with Explorer's view settings but Reader appears to ignore those. Other applications, for example Word, use Explorer's view settings and behave as I would expect.
    I suspect that someone has inadvertently changed something on this PC. Perhaps there's a keystroke combination that changes the file display order persistently?
    Any ideas, please?

    I'm still struggling with this - does anyone know how to change the file sort order in the File->Open dialogue?
    It must be possible to change it because it has somehow been changed to reverse order!

  • File open dialogue

    Hello,
    I was trying to use the File_open_dialogue in the CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES and used the parameters as follows:
    CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG
         EXPORTING
           WINDOW_TITLE            = 'Select Files'
           DEFAULT_EXTENSION       =  '*.txt'
         DEFAULT_FILENAME        =
         FILE_FILTER             =
         WITH_ENCODING           =
         INITIAL_DIRECTORY       =
    However, each time I open up the file open dialogue, it always set the default extension to *.rtf, which is not what I want, although *.txt is one of the options listed. How can I change the code to ensure that .txt file is the default while other options will still be available? Thanks a lot!
    Regards,
    Anyi

    Hi anyi,
    1. SIMPLE
    2. give like this.
    3.
    <b>DEFAULT_EXTENSION       = 'TXT'</b>
    4. Note :
      a) Do not give *
      b) give in CAPITAL CASE

    Mike,
    Any document left open when you Quit the application reopens when you restart the application. Rather like the jacket that I neglected to hang up when I came home last night. It's still lying on the chair by the door.

    When opening Powerpoint, the file opens outside of the screen, and I cannot use it, nor can I open a new ppt. How do I rectify this?

    Usually the Window menu allows you to adjust window placement in Microsoft Office products.
    If not, connect an external display or projector and change the resolution to the maximum.   
    Save the document with the window residing on the main screen with the Dock.
    That will force it to open on the main screen in the future.

  • Ai file opening by default as PDF and not w/AI CS3/4 on MAC client

    We have recently moved our central file shares of *.*ai files from a windows file server to an EMC Celerra file server CIFS share. After the migration multiple MAC users have reported that some (but not all) *.* ai files on the share open up by default as a PDF file instead of opening up with Adobe Illustrator CS3/4.
    If the user either right clicks - and selects to explicitly open with AI or if mac mouse, control-click and select AI - then the .ai file in question opens properly in CS3 and CS4. However when we double click, the file still opens up in preview as a PDF.
    Is this something we need to change/update on the MAC OS side so that default will be AI? change/update onthe Adobe CS side? Or is this a problem related to the *.*ai files being shared on a EMC Celerra share. Again not all the *.*ai files have this issue - which has created even more questions...
    Any info or suggestions would be deeply appreciated....
    Thank you
    Dave

    I don't know anything about the EMC Cellera share, but I would say that this is a change on the OS side. Apple likes to think that Preview is the natural tool for viewing any PDF content, so Preview is now the default PDF viewer on Mac. You'll need to go to each of the Macs, do a Get Info and set Open With: Illustrator and Change All.
    The reason this is happening on some of the .ai files and not others is that some of them do not contain PDF content (they were saved with PDF Compatibility unchecked.) To make sure that all files open with Illustrator do the Change All step on at least on file that does not have PDF content as well as one that does.
    When Apple made this change in the OS, we asked them, for a way to set the default app programatically so that we could do it as part of the install process, but that didn't happen.

  • FaceTime has a slash and not working!!!

    Please can someone help me! My FaceTime on my MacBook Air is not working. I have installed updates and supplement updates and it is still not working! The little camera icon has a slash across it! This is so frustrating!!! Thank you

    This com.microsoft.jdbc package, it's in a jar file, right? Just take that jar file and put it in the right directory for your web application to be able to find it. Your servlet container doesn't use the classpath, it uses its own rules for loading classes. Typically you put jar files in a directory in your web application whose path name ends in .../lib, but the actual specifics vary.

  • Abandon Old File History and Start New on Different Drive

    On W8 Pro,
    Had an attached USB Drive for File History.
    Needed USB Drive for something else.
    Disconnected it and stopped file history.
    File History says drive is disconnected.
    I want to start is again on a new network drive, but system keeps asking me to reconnect the old one so that it can use history from it to use on the new one. I responded that I do nor want to use the old history.
    Am not able to start File History on New Network Drive.
    The Network Drive is a 4TB Seagate connected to the Router and also used for storing System Imges for this and other computers on the network.
    Is there any way to convince the system that I never had a previous file history, so that I can start a new one ?

    Hi,
    Sometimes,regarding this error,it may be caused by the Indexing Service.

  • Spinning rainbow wheel for some minutes when apps use file open dialogue

    OSX 10.4.4
    Powerbook, home Cable via Airport.
    Whenever an application such as Firefox or Word (the worst) uses the File browse and open file dialog (Finder like window) I get a spinning rainbow wheel for up to two minutes.
    I have tried everything I know to hunt this down, but it happens even when newly booted.
    Finder on the other hand is fine.
    Any clues what I could look at?

    My personal experience is that the whole iDisk/WebDAV/Finder thing is hopeless. I keep thinking it will get better, but it doesn't. I've been waiting since Jaguar, and it keeps being "one step forward, two steps back." I have given up on keeping the "official" iDisk on my hard drive. Instead I disabled the local iDisk, keep my own folder with items for my disk, and just use the freeware Goliath when I want to put something from my local files into my iDisk. You will amazed and how much faster Goliath is, and there will be no more agonizing pauses when you try to open or save something.

    If you are on Windows, the easiest would be to run a repair install on Adobe Reader:
    *Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs
    *select Adobe Reader, then click on 'Change'
    *click '>Next', select 'Repair', click '>Next'
    This should repair your PDF file association.

  • HELP - anyone who has bought MacBook and started it can help!

    When I first turned on my MacBook (with Mac OS 10.4.10), I started configuring it with the autolaunched Setup Assistant. I got up to the stage where I was asked to photograph myself. I messed around with it and must have tried the photography too many times because then instead of finishing the configuration, the MacBook just moved on to what I assume is normal operation.
    So my question is, did I miss anything vital in the configuration? Can/should I relaunch the configuration, this time to complete it? Or do I just enter info (which I missed out on doing during incomplete configuration) another way now I am already "in the system"?
    I'm quite new to Macs. Hope someone remembers the config and can help!

    So you didn't purchase the MacBook new from an authorized Apple dealer or from Apple. Where ever/whomever you got it from should have given you the OS disks that came with the MacBook. You can't boot the Mac from an OS less than it came with from the factory. Are you sure that 10.4.10 is a factory installed OS? There is a way to get the Setup Assistant to re-run without reinstalling the OS. Follow this:

  • HT1766 Can the backup file for a IPAD be stored and accessed on an external drive?

    Can the backup file for a IPAD be stored on an external drive to free up space on a computer?

    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
    Another option:

  • When Photoshop CC is executed, the first File- Open takes 30 seconds and every File- Open after that is instant. Why is this?

    I have Photoshop CC in my Laptop.  When I first load it/execute photoshop, File -> Open  it takes approx 30 seconds to return a selection.  If I do another File -> Open after this it is instant.
    If I Quit Photoshop and reload it the first File -> Open takes another 30 seconds and then instant.  It is only the first Occurrence.
    I have a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD 4GB RAM.
    If I do  start -> Photoshop -> Previously used file it loads no problem.
    If I try the same things with Photoshop CS5 no problem.
    Why?
    Forgot to add that I am running windows 7 x64 if that makes a difference.
    I have found the problem.  I disconnected the internet from my laptop and it worked instantly.  So Adobe you need to improve your response times on this facet of the login as it is a pain.
    Now I will stop looking for problems with my system....
    Please advise if there is a work around...
    Thanks

    No time currently to check if downgrading these helps. Also looks kinda complicated because udisks replaces devicekit-disks.
    This also looks somehow related: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.de … 0f49cd9b53

    OK, the symptoms can be replicated with the following command sequence:
