File Open Recent (Showing old files)

For some reason very often in PS CS3 if I go to File > Open Recent it doesn't show me the most recent files. Very, very annoying. Anyone have this problem or a workaround? Thanks.

I shut down PS by the X in the upper right hand corner in Windows.
Had not thought about working over a server. If I'm always live on those servers why should that make a difference? Shouldn't the app be able to go out and retrieve the file if it can connect?
Thanks!

Where did catalog paths go in File Open Recent in Lr3??

In Lr 1 & 2, File >> Open Recent shows you a list of your recently-opened catalogs, INCLUDING the path for each one. I just upgraded to Lr 3 and only see the catalog NAMES are listed under Open Recent... and no paths. I don't see any option to turning paths on in Edit >> Preferences or Edit >> Catalog Settings.
In the past, I had a separate folder for each shoot, each with it's own Lr catalog... I named each folder for each specific shoot, but always named the catalogs "edits"... so i literally have hundreds of catalogs named "edits"! This was never a problem in Lr 1 or 2 thanks to (1) the paths being displayed in the recent catalog list and (2) them being stored in separate, specifically-named folders... but now I can't distinguish between them in Open Recent... and I'd prefer not to rename all those catalogs! Anyone have any insight here? Much thanks!

Thanks for the effort Dorin, but actually that isn't true & doesn't help:
(1) You're incorrect, LR 2.7 does in fact show paths under "Open Recent". See attached picture of my screen from my old computer running LR 2.7 (I coudln't take a direct screenshot which shows active menus). Dorin, I believe your paths don't show because they are test catalogs, and possibly your one actual catalog is in the same path as the test ones? Not sure, but obviously from my picture you can see paths. (My folders, on the F drive, are labled with dates & names, as you can clearly see.)
(2) "Stop creating so many catalogs. One is enough." Seriously? Because I take over 50,000 shots for wedding season alone each year, let alone all the other completely unrelated things I do - commercial, landscape, events, portraits, etc. Having just one catalog is nonsensical for many reasons - most notably that it would be so bloated that I couldn't organize anything properly (I use colors, flags, and stars already in each individual catalog already) & it would have amazingly horrible performance.
So my question remains - does anyone know how to (or if we can) turn paths on in the Open Recent list in LR 3? Is there anyone from Adobe on these forums? Thanks

Show full file name in File Open Recent Files menu.

I would like to be able to see the full file name in the File > Open Recent Files menu. With long file names, I cannot differentiate between the file I want to edit and the series of images I exported - they all look the same when truncated. (Mac)

I'm working in CS6 on Windows and wondering exactly the same thing. I usually export PDFs or JPGs of current work using the same or very similar names for tracking purposes but trying to open recent files then becomes a game of trying to figure out which of the various identically-truncated file names actually corresponds to the file I want to reopen.
Is there a way to get Illustrator to display the FULL file name in the Open Recent Files menu?

Outlook 2013 are not opening and showing pst files are not closed properly

Hi
Outlook 2007 has stopped working and showing close the program. Again,we re-started then outlook 2007 and it has opened and taken the backup of pst files in a separate hard drive.
The pst file was repaired in scanpst.exe and again i have tried to put the pst file back in outlook 2007.It was hanging and suddenly i have uninstalled 2007 and started installing outlook 2013.
2013 applications like word,excel,power point are opening and outlook 2013 are not able to open and showing pst files were not closed properly.
Again i have un-installed and re-installed the outlook 2013.still we are not able to open the outlook.
Need your support at the earliest to fix the issue.
Thanks

Hi,
What's the .pst file used for? Archive? Or you set up a POP3 account and want to import the emails from the .pst file?
Another question, you mentioned you installed Outlook 2013 and it didn't open either. Was this from the beginning right after you installed Outlook 2013, or after you did something such as create a new Profile, set up a new account and tried to import the
.pst file?
Kindly answer my questions so I can understand the situation better.
I've seen some of this issue caused by the anti-malware software, check your anti-malware software to see if it's trying to interfere with Outlook - things like real time email checking can sometimes cause these kinds of problems. To troubleshoot, we can
simply disable the anti-malware software temporarily to see the result.

While downlaoding any type of file instead of showing the file size 'unknown time remaining' is showing?

While downlaoding any type of file instead of showing the file size 'unknown time remaining' is showing? Please suggest solution to these problems?

I followed ALL the Above suggestions to NO AVAIL!
When I start a download, if I then Click PAUSE, it WILL NOT CANCEL & IT WILL NOT RESUME, just sits there stating "unknown time remaining"
and I CAN'T GET RID OF IT!
It would seem that Something Changed with the latest Firefox Beta Update that is causing this Anomalie.. Please FIX ASAP as I find this Very Annoying.
With ANY Download in Limbo the Firefox Taskbar Icon displays a Partial Download Progress THAT NEVER CHANGES and I can not tell what Other Downloads are doing - It also Warns me that X-Number of Downloads are Still Pending when I go to Close Firefox, but as I stated, these Downloads are DOING NOTHING & CAN'T BE REMOVED!
HELP! - BJ

Indesign CS4 double click the file opens app. but not file

One of our systems that is running Win XP Pro SP3 with InDesign CS4 loaded and file associations fixed, when an INDD file is double clicked the application opens but the file does not. If we open INDD and go to file open and select the file it opens. Just not when double clicked. If I put the file on another system everything is fine. Anyone seen this before.

I'm pretty much at a loss. You might want to make sure that the open action is programed correctly in Windows.
Open Explorer and go to Tools > Folder Options... and scroll to .indd, then click the advanced button and select the Open action. Click Edit, and make sure that the "Application used to perform action" line includes "%1" (in quotes) after the path to InDesign. I believe the "confirm open after download" box should also be checked in the edit screen.
If that's OK, I'm guessing it has to do with SP3. Doe you have SP3 installed on the machine where it works?

CC14, all files open with asterisk in file name.

CC14, all files open with asterisk in file name, need to save or cancel to close file. Is there a way to change that?

No. It happens to any InDesign file. I created a new file in CC14, saved, closed, opened and it had the asterisk.
If it is a time synchronization, how do I correct that?

Open Recent - CS3 Complete File Path

In CS2 my open recent files showed the complete file path. e.g. d:\jobs\clients name\file name.indd.
In CS3 it only shows file name without the complete path.
Is there a setting to change this or am I stuck with it?

CS3 will show the complete path if it is necessary to eliminate ambiguity.

File opened as an old version

I recently created a file in Illustrator CS6 (Creative Cloud version), and saved it as PDF with illustrator editing capabillities preserved. It saved fine, but when I opened the file in Illustrator CS6 again for more editing today, it gave me an earlier version of the file instead of the lastest version that I saved last night. However, the file opened correctly in Quick Look, Preview and Photoshop CS6. I've tried to make a copy of the file, and open the copy in a different folder, as well as deleting illustrator preferences, but I had no luck. Please help, I dont want to spend another 1.5 hours to redo things that I've done. Thank you!!!

According to my timezone, you wrote this post shortly after midnight and it's now almost 10 in the morning with nobody having replied so far. Are you beginning to see why waiting things out on a forum might not be a good idea? Neither is saving critical data to a non-native format without having a backup or incremental versions to go back to. Really do read this (for next time):
Work File Safety
That aside, you might try to place the file in AI to access its PDF parts or similarly, sanitize the document in Acrobat to strip the AI data and thus force any program to use the PDF content the next time you open it. Else you may also try to run AI in recovery mode and try to repair the file that way...

Show File Open Dialog and get File

Am creating a document where I want to prompt the user with the File Open dialog box and when a file is selected, I want to get that file and attach to the document. I know the scripting allows files to be attached but how do I display the dialog and then attach using the script.
Will greatly appreciate the help.
Am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7
Thanks
Nilesh!

Hi Nilesh,
You can use the getDataObject method of the Adobe document object. Below is a sample script that you can attach to the click event of a button to see how it works. For more information on importDataObject and getDataObject go to
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/javascript/AcroJS.pdf
SAMPLE
======
//Get a handle to the Adobe document object
var doc = event.target;
//Display a file dialog box and assign the name Attachment to the
//DataObject that contains the selected file.
doc.importDataObject("Attachment");
//Get the DataObject and store it in MyData
var MyData = doc.getDataObject("Attachment");
//Clear and display the console window
console.show();
console.clear();
//Output the properties of the DataObject
for (var i in MyData) console.println("MyData." + i + "=" + MyData[i]);

In 10.8 I opened Preview and saw my Aperture albums and then chose the desired image to work on. In 10.9.2 Preview/File/Open only shows on the LHS every single pic in my Aperture Library - I can't select directly from the parts of the Library

This is my first time using Apple Support and I inadvertently put the entire question in the discussion header. Please refer to it. I'd appreciate any help.
Thank you

Download the demo and activate with your serial number:

Be sure to follow the special instructions.
You will also probably need to run the un-installer first to clean up the old files.

Firefox not working, instructed to create a new profile, said it would save old files, restarted firefox, all old files seem to be gone? Can anyone explain?

I was having issues with Firefox opening. I opened my Safari browser to troubleshoot and after looking for solutions to Firefox not opening, I opened the firefox profile manager. The directions instructed me to create a new profile and then delete my old one (and save old files). I did that and then upon restarting firefox all my bookmarks, history, passwords etc. were gone. When I looked at the folders in my profile file, they all had creation dates of only a few minutes prior. Did I lose it all? I followed the instructions, I don't understand where all my information went.

Did you use the Profile Manager or did you use reset to create that new profile?
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
A reset tries to import some data from the old profile and then moves the profile to the desktop, but if you use the Profile Manager then you need to copy that data yourself to the new profile.
If you've deleted the old profile before making sure that your data has been recovered then you've lost that personal data.

Mac hangs on file open, Mac hangs on file open

I am using Stata, a statistical analysis program. Recently, when I try to open a file, using File Open, the program hangs and I have to force it to quit. I can open files easily if I use Recent files. When the file gets open, I can do everything I should be able to do with the program. Analysis, graphics, etc. It is JUST when I do File Open that it hangs, and it seems to be ONLY with Stata.
Any suggestions?
Don

Hi Don,
I don't have it, but...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does Stata work in the new account?

merry chrismas to everyone.

The proper way to handle other file formats (even where it is really a PDF that has been "wrapped") is to create an AVConversionHandler.
To load a PDF from a source other than the file system, you need to create a custom AVFileSys.
