File Open - Favorite Folder

I am having Adobe Reader 8, Windows XP Professional SP 2
In the MS Word, in the File Open dialogue box, I can put a name of a particular folder on the left hand side vetical list -> something likfe 'Fovorites' concept. This saves me time in navigating through a long hierarchy of tree structure of the folders. Unfortunately, I can not find such feature in Adobe Reader 8. This results in me having to spend at least half a minute in locating my folder in the disk.
Please guide.

Reader uses the XP Common Dialogues (File Open, Save...), which are
used wherever an application doesn't have its own. You can customize
these by editing the registry or (more simply) using Microsoft's
TweakUI utility:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/a/fca6767b-9ed9-45a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiP owertoySetup.exe
Install it and configure the Places Bar through Common Dialogs -
Places Bar - Custom Places Bar.
Changes you make will be system-wide.

Getting this error while opening a folder : This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel

Hi,
While trying to open a folder on my Windows 7 Home Premium, an error comes "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel." I tried searching on the net but did not get great support for the issue when it happens with folder opening.

Hi Nikunj Shah,
First, I suggest you download
Microsoft Safety Scanner or
Malicious Software Removal Tool to run a full scan.
The error messages here seems to be caused by the corrupted registries, which related with the folder association.
You may take a try to merge the following registry settings to reset the folder association, before that, remember to backup your registry settings first:

HELP. ............Hi folks hope some one can help me please.Having a problem in Bridge I open my images in ACR, as I open files in a folder and lets say they are labeled in yellow they are all going back to the camera raw default , in other words no matter what work I have done, inc cropping they all go back to ,as they came out of camera. What on earth is happening? I am on PS CS6. I might point out everything was working normally up to yesterday, when this first started.
I recently changed computer to 64bit from 32bit, not sure if this causing the problem or not. Any help would be appreciated.

How do I open a file from a folder, process it, then open the next ?

I have a folder full of items. I want to open the first item which is a 3d file, process it with the 3d application -- by automating the mouse clicks, then save the file, then go do the same with the next file in the folder. I see an item called open folder contents and open finder items, but it just opens them all at once.
Thanks for any help.
Dan

Having a little trouble with this as it only runs once even with the loop.
I open a folder full of files dispense them, then do a watchmedo action then loop at the end. But it only does the first file. Any hints?
Thanks,
Dan

I am trying to import my favorites from a Favorites folder that are .url files! Please help!

Hi,
So my old laptop died, and I saved my favorites from internet explorer as a Favorites folder (I took the harddrive out of my old laptop and dragged everything onto an external harddrive). I now have a new laptop and am trying to pull in all my favorites into Mozilla. I have already looked at all the help files on here, but it looks like they are only for importing .html files? I was looking at my saved favorites and it seems they are all saved as .url files. Any advice on how to get these into Firefox? I really really don't want to have to re-bookmark EVERYTHING.
Thanks!

Firefox can handle its' own json and sqlite format for bookmarks/places, and it can handle the universal bookmarks.html interchange format, but it can't deal with the Favorites .url format - that's unique to IE and its' clones. Get that folder of .url files back into Internet Explorer and then export that data as an HTML file.
In IE: <br />
File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file
''then in Firefox:'' <br />
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file

Firefox 4.01 downloads files but the downloads windows greys out the "Open" and "Open containing folder" options and I can't trace the files

Three days ago I upgraded to Firefox 4.01. I downloaded several files that were ok. Yesterday and today I downloaded one powerpoint file and a an apple *.dmg file.
On the Download window these two files I can see with the total mb in size. However when I right click the file list in the Download window the "Open" and "Open containing folder" options are greyed out. What is more I cannot find these files anywhere on my computer when I use Windows Explorer to search.
It seems that this happened after I tried to download a Firefox add on from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/addons/64761/amazonassist-0.7.2.6-fx.xpi and my antivirus picked up the JS/Kryptik.AK trojan and terminated the connection. Is there a link with the problem I am experiencing?
I use Windows 7 professional, Firefox 4.01

How to systematically open file in a folder and process them with a program

Hello,
For my second question of the night.
I am wondering if there is a way to open every file in a folder, run them through a vi, and then append the output to an array or spreadsheet? This would save me lots of time and my wrists.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Yes you can open a file in the folder by using 'List folder' function (Programming>File I/O>Advvanced File Function>List Folder) which lists all the files and folders in the given path. From that you can build the path and give to 'Open File' function.
Hope this helps you. Let us know this solves your issue

Open Random File in Random Folder

I am trying to make an Applescript to pick a song at random, being dependent on how many files are in a folder. To simplify my example: I have 2 folders labeled "Rock" and "Country", Rock includes 99 songs and Country has 1. If I write the following script:
to application finder to open some file in some folder "harddrive:user:me:music"
Using this, there is a 50% chance that 1 country song will play, because the script is choosing between "Rock" or "Country" THEN the files inside. Is there any way that I can re-write the script so that it accounts for the number of files inside the folder?
I only have a beginners level of writing script, so if you can dumb any complicated answers down for me that would be great
Eventually I want to expand this for more than two folders, but I'm sure if I get 2 down I can extrapolate to more!

Whoops, sorry: didn't notice that it returned a list of lists which need to be concatenated. This version works correctly:
set musicFiles to {}
tell application "System Events"
          set musicFolders to every file of (every folder of folder "/Users/tedwrigley/Test area") whose visible is true
          repeat with thisItem in musicFolders
                    set musicFiles to musicFiles & thisItem
          end repeat
end tell
set theChosenFile to some item of musicFiles

When opening a folder, its takes ages to show the files

Hi All,
I have a 2012 Macbook Pro running Lion (as you can probably guess!), with a 512Gb SSD and 8Gb Ram. Its a pretty fast machine and i'm really happy with the way it runs, however when I open a folder to view files, it opens and shows a blank folder and then I get the black pinwheel in the bottom left/right hand side and I have to wait for sometimes over 30 seconds before the files in that folder are shown!?
Does anyone have any ideas why this happens? One thing to point out is that it doesn't always happen and its not restricted to particular folders. I can open a folder and it will show the files straight away, however I can re-open that folder and it will take up to 30 seconds to show the files...
I've tried rebooting and running nothing, but it still happens. And I have also tried the normal disk utilities to check permissions, etc and I think these are fine too..
You guys are my last hope before I start to talk to apple and log a support call - Help!
Cheers

First off, I do not recommend looking at your time machine while it is running. You can tell if it is running by making sure its menubar icon is shown in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Time Machine. If the icon is moving, it is running. You can manually backup, which I recommend over automatic backup, as automatic backup can get in your way. Spotlight, if it is indexing (check the menu in the upper right that looks like a magnifying glass), will also slow matters down, and adding things you don't want Spotlight to search to your Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy pane will help. Note this affects areas you can search in Time Machine as well. If searching content of files is of little interest to you, I find Find Any File much quicker for finding by file name. Backup when you aren't doing anything else, as otherwise, you may find yourself backing up files that haven't had the opportunity to close.
Time Machine also works best if your destination drive is at least twice as capacious as your source drive. Otherwise it is spending a lot of time trying to find places for the archived files, and barely is more archival than a simple clone.

Photoshop Elements 11 Editor : File/Open - How can I set a default folder ?

Hi
When I am in the Photoshop Elements 11 Editor and I want to load a picture from "My Pictures" on my hard disk ...
I go the menu item File/Open ...
Right now PE11 opens the last picture folder I worked with before ...
How can I make PE11 show the root directory of the "My Pictures" Library.
I do not want people to see which pictures I have been working with lately.

Before quitting the app after you have worked clic Edit->Preferences and click Reset preferences on next launch.
This would reset the settings and next time it will open my pictures by default with file open,
Thanks,

Can no longer open a folder while dragging a file into it...

Suddenly I am unable to drag a file into a folder, hold it over that folder and have the folder open so I can then navigate within that folder before dropping the file (does that make sense?)...it has been working just fine for some time and now it won't work. Only thing I've done recently is repair disk permissions (which CheckUp seemed to find a lot in need of repair, oddly enough).
Any help is much appreciated, I use this feature frequently.

HI,
I'm not sure what CheckUp is. Only use your Disk Utility application (Applications/Utilities) to repair disk permissions on a Mac.
*"Suddenly I am unable to drag a file into a folder"*
Time to check the hard disk. Grab your install disk.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
Check your available disk space also.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Not enough available drive space can cause issues like you are experiencing.

How do I set the default folder for file - open file... ?

When I save a file, photo, etc., the default folder for OPENING a file becomes the last folder I SAVED to - even after closing and reopening Firefox. Is there a way to maintain the same default folder for opening files?

is an appropriate search for answers.
But thanks for your help in any case.

Automate Batch, open every 3 files in a folder?

I'm doing some work where I mostly do the same things on three files. It's for a game-project and I've got one texture for shadows, one that's the normal diffuse layer and finally one that controls where team-colors go. I've learnt some things about the Actions-tab and can easily open all three files then click F2 and Photosohp CS4 does all the work. Then I simply save the file.
I was checking with the the Automate -> Batch option if I could do this for an entire folder but I've ran out of luck. It's easy enough with the destination, I just add a prefix to the file-name so it doesn't overwrite anything. However as I see it it's only possible to open every file in the folder after each-other. Is there a built-in feature or can I change the Actions a little to help me with this? The Actions I'm doing is mostly "Select Previous Document" etc. when I've got all three files open.
Failing in that is there a plugin or something anyone can recommend? If it helps the file-names are identical except for a "_diffuse", "_occulusion" and "_team" at the end so if there's a plugin or even feature that relies on the file-names that would work too. Otherwise this also means the three files are always after each-other in the same order.

You should look into Scripting for Photoshop (preferably with JavaScript), because what you are describing is not within reach for plain Actions as they can incorporate no conditionals.
»Adobe Intro To Scripting.pdf«, »Photoshop CS5 Scripting Guide.pdf« and the Sample Scripts (should all have been installed with Photoshop) offer a starting point and one can always ask for advice on the Photoshop Scripting Forum:
