File open window closes

for the last week or two, if I want to attach a file to an email in thunderbird, the finder window opens and closed after about 1 second, before I have had a chance to select a file. The only way to attach a file is to drag into the window from a separate finder window. Similarly, the 'file...open' dialogues in firefox and safari do the same, but not in chrome. However when asked what application to open a specific file type, a finder window opens and closes immediatey - for instance I can't get downloaded files such as getfile.aspx to open in adobe reader as is their target because I can't set the target because the finder window won't stay open.
this seems to be a macOS problem since it exists in safari, thunderbird, as well as firefox.
any clues from out there?
thanks,

I think it's a good idea to check with Nikon; while you're talking to them, ask what format their cameras' videos are - from what I've read, AVI is not the actual format it's recorded in, but I'm not an expert on that - see the link to the Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AudioVideoInterleave
Also try to shoot another video in a lower resolution - don't process or do anything to it with the camera, just take out the SDHC card and see if that'll work. I suggested the MPEGStreamclip because if you can drag it into that app, you could immediately convert it to a .mov or .dv file and that should work with either Quicktime, iMovie, or whatever.
At this point, you also might want to consider trashing any preference file of any application you've tried using with that video just in case any of them have become corrupted.

As much as any of us don't like paying for what we think Adobe or Microsoft should have supplied, the fact is it won't happen despite years of some of the most bile-filled threads on the subject.
I'm in the "pay the $20 and get on with life" camp.
Ardfrey provides PSB, INDD, and AI thumbs in their codec as well.
And now Mac users have Quicklook. PSD and PSB thumbs at the Finder level.

File Open Window

I use a cad cam software that allows you to create, edit and manage the links on the left hand side of the File>Open window. This is the area that usually contains "My Recent Files" "Desktop" "My Documents" etc.
The ability to change and manage these links is great as it gives you the freedom to setup links that you use all of the time right there and easy to get at. I attached a screen shot of what Mastercam's look like.
It would be great to see this feature in Photoshop!

Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) crashes when file opens (Windows 7 x64 Pro)

Did a recent install of Windows 7 x64 Pro and installed Adobe Web Suite and updated all adobe programs. When I use photoshop to open a file, the file opens then photoshop hangs and windows says it has stopped responding then closes. This is a fresh install of windows...
I used drivermax to backup drivers from a previous install and install those drivers on the new install. After that I installed the newest graphics drivers via nvidia's website.
I installed all updates for the suite then I cleared my preferences, none of this worked.
Please let me know where I can find the crash log and any other logs so I can post that info here.

I would do exactly as Curt suggests, and check out Event Viewer. This ARTICLE goes into more detail about what to look for. Be sure to follow every link, in every warning, or error message. Do not get frustrated with warning and error messages, that are 100% code - just look for one written in words that you can understand, and especially with any, that have links.
Good luck,

Window.open() & window.close () does not work in Portal application

Hello All,
I am trying to open & close a popup window from a weblogic portal. But the following don't seem to work in this environment. As a web application, it works fine.
<netui:anchor action="DetailedWorkObject" target="<script @lang ='java'> window.open('IndividualWorkObjectDetails.jsp','null','resizable=no, HEIGHT=500,WIDTH=500'); </script>" >
<netui:parameter name="CLAIM_NBR" value="{container.item.claim_Nbr}" />
<netui:label value="{container.item.claim_Nbr}"/>
</netui:anchor></td>
I am using Weblogic Workshop 8.1 SP3.The above code opens up a new window but it cannot be closed with
window.close()
self.close nor this.close().
I have even tried calling the script function where I write this code but without success.
Does any one know why is this happenning ? Please tell me what is the work around for this situation.
Please answer it as soon as possible.
Thanks & have a wonderful Holiday!

Not sure if anybiody answered this for you, or if you figured it out, but here you go. In the skins directory, the default skin contains a menu.js file which has the following function at line 232:
function close(menuItem)
if (menuItem && !currentMenuItem)
closeAll(menuItem);
This function is overriding the inherent javascript close() function. Simply rename this to something else (I renamed it to closeItem) and rename the call to it at line 228 (setTimeout("close(tmpMenuItem)", tryClosePause);), and you're golden.
The two functions should look like this:
function tryClose(menuItem)
if (!currentMenuItem)
tmpMenuItem = menuItem;
setTimeout("closeItem(tmpMenuItem)", tryClosePause);
function closeItem(menuItem)
if (menuItem && !currentMenuItem)
closeAll(menuItem);

Every time I close a window that has opened up (not a tab) all the open windows close and it's driving me nuts!

If I have opened up a link and it comes up as a separate window and not a tab, then I go to close that window, all the other Firefox windows that are open will close too. Is there anything to prevent this? It is extremely annoying when I have to go and open all the windows/tabs again!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== since upgrading

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Displaying NEF thumbnails in File Open Window

I have Photoshop Elements 10 with Camera Raw 6.6.
When opening a file directly from the camera (Nikon D7000) all the raw .NEF images are rendered in the open dialogue window.
But once the files are transferred to my computer, when opening the same files from the computer the .NEF files only display as icons in the window. When you select one, it is rendered as an image by itself in the footer.
Is there any way of having the .NEF files rendered as images in the open window when opening from the computer disk ?
This is a convenient feature for selecting images to work on, that is supported by other software (e.g. Picasa) and, as I recall, earlier versions of PE did it for previous NEF formats .
Thank you

I’m using Windows 7 ultimate with Photoshop CC. The NEF files are from a Nikon D-200 camera so it’s not a new camera.
Anything you can pass along will be helpful. I shoot with both raw and jpg so can see what the nef file subject matter is by looking at the jpg file, but it would be convenient to see a thumbnail of the nef file when I try to open the files

File.browse() window close

Hi,
When we use the browse() functionin File the file selection window appears. Is there any way to close that window using code. What I need to accomplish is I want to close the file selection dialog box automatically after waiting a few seconds. How we accomplish this?
I tried to dispatch the CANCEL event but no sucess
I want to close this window
Thanks in advance

Upgrade to forms 6i and you'll have a built in for that
(get_file_name). for 4.5 try looking for the d2kwutil.pll I
think there is a method there that will do this.

All open windows close when another one is opened

Running OSX10.6.7
Recently the window behavior has changed, now when a different active app is selected, all the windows from other active apps become hidden
if one holds the Option key when selecting a new app or a hidden window in an open one, the new window opens and the old ones remain on screen but not active
this behavior is new, perhaps coincident with the latest snow leopard update
I suppose that I may have triggered this change by some accidental combination of key strokes
I prefer that the act of opening a new window not affect the other open windows
is this behavior controlled by a preference pane somewhere, or some combination of key strokes or by one of those programs such as Macpilot or Tinkertool, although I do not recollect deliberately changing anything

It's a hidden Dock preference. You can change it in TinkerTool, or launch the Terminal application, copy or drag -- don't type -- the following text into the window, and press Return:
defaults write com.apple.dock single-app NO
You may have to relaunch the Dock or log out for it to take effect, I'm not sure.

Sometimes open windows close( from sight), but they are still "open" . how do I get them back "in view"?

sometimes "open" windows dissapear. There is no crash. They are still active, but not viewable. How do I get them back into view?

Do you see lost windows appearing in that list that are not on the Taskbar?<br />
Such things can happen on Windows XP.<br />
That has been reported in the past and I've seen it myself.<br />
You can usually switch to such hidden windows via Alt+Tab.

Run applescript automatically on file open and close

Is it possible to automatically invoke a given applescript when opening -any- document with a given application?
In effect, I would like to automatically detect the "open file" operation (irrespective of how the file was opened) so as to immediately follow it with a specific AS.
I would similarly like to automatically invoke another AS prior to a "close file" operation.
Is this possible via Automator or some other way?
Thanks,

.wmv files opening Windows Media Player

I put simple links on my web pages to allow visitors to load
wmv format videos on their pcs. I do not want the video starting
automatically with any player, I just want the "save to" window
opening at the click on the links. Actually this is working with
Firefox but not with Explorer. What do I have to do to avoid the
videos opening automatically in Explorer ? Thanks

Two options:
1) Zip the media file/s. When visitor clicks on a link to a
zipped file or
folder, it will download.
2) Use a force-download script in a language supported by
your server. The
following link is to one in php.

Desktop blinking, then open windows close

Every minute or so the desktop icons will disappear for a second. When this happens it will remove the cursor from wherever it is, and it closes any windows that are open. It's annoying. I've tried to repair the disk using Diskwarrior to no avail. When I tried to start up with the shift key down the computer got loud and sounded like it was going to explode. So I had to unplug it.
Any solutions?
Thanks

Hi! I rechecked the link and it worked fine for me. It is a Apple discussions link for those who have similar problems and a solution has been found for most users. Tom
The solution fro JoeJoeBee
It took me weeks(!) to find this solution here, but I think at least for me it worked and could be helpful for anyone else who has this or similar issues (such as when typing you lose the cursor
and you have to click back into the program you are using) after the last Apple Security Update that caused this bug.
I do not know if this will work for everyone, but it worked for me.
It seems all to be linked to Stuffit and a preference called Stuffit AVR (Archive Via Rename): In your system preferences go to the bottom and click on the Stuffit AVR option. Click the Stuffit AVR tab
on the left, and click the "STOP" button. This should do the trick. For some reason this is cycling through our desktop/finder and causing so much of the frustration since this update.
Hope this helps!

Making sure text written to file when window closes

Hello,
I built an application, and I have the action set for the frame to close out my BufferedWriter stream when the application is being closed down. However, I want to make sure that things are written to the file just in case the application crashes and I have to close it out with task manager.
I'm not fully acquainted with the java.io packages for file handling...just surface.
Thank you very much,
Lior

If something is going to crash then, by definition, you are not in control of the situation. But Java applications don't crash, do they?
You might like to look at java.lang.Runtime.addShutdownHook(Thread t);
