FileDialog file extension problem

Hi,
How to show the FileDialog with specific extensions only. Like, needed extensions are put in a string array.
String[] extensions = {"doc","docx","xls","xlsx"};I need to show the filedialog with these extensions only.
Thanks in advance,
Joe

See [FileDialog.setFilenameFilter(FilenameFilter)|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/FileDialog.html#setFilenameFilter(java.io.FilenameFilter)] ..
I need to show the filedialog with these extensions only...but note the bit that starts with.. "Filename filters do not.."
The JFileChooser file types functionality works just fine, as does the file dialog used by the JNLP API of Java Web Start. Use one of them instead.
Thanks in advance,No worries.

  • Photoshop CS6 file extension problem

    I want to choose an file extension in the "Save as" Dialog. If i choose Jpeg, Photoshop takes EPS and so on. Systemupdate and reinstall PS does not help.
    My System: Mac OS X 10.6.8

    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by keeping command-alt-shift pressed on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.

    Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
    If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

  • File extension problem

    Hello there everyone... My company is equipped with mac's an pc's and a pc server using windows 2000 server. The server 'died' and we bought a new one with windows sbs 2008, our files that were created by our mac computers were stored on the old server so we copied them back to the new one. The problem is that now when we try to access them some files that don't have extensions we can not open them as we don't know what they are, i.e in the same folder I had files that were tiff,jpeg,quark,pdf when I try to access them there are no extensions so I don't know with what program to open each file. These files are grey or black and are reffered to as Unix Executable File. Is there a way to get the mac systems to re-read the files correctly??? Our mac os is 10.4 and 10.5 and our server uses Windows SBS 2008!

    I'd be worried about these files. You may have lost metadata as BD suggests.
    Maybe your server administrator should look at copying mac file data or how to turn on the serving of Mac files. ( I'd guess it was an option in windows 2000. )
    Can't you take a guess from the name what the application would have been?
    Start the appropriate application & use file > open.
    There is also the Terminal file command which will look inside a file & take a best guess at the contents of the file. Many files have an identifier in the first four characters of the file telling what type of data the file contains.
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
    mac $ file /Users/mac/Desktop/ciruit.rtf 
    /Users/mac/Desktop/ciruit.rtf: Rich Text Format data, version 1, Apple Macintosh
    mac $ file /Users/mac/Desktop/Lunch\ picture.JPG 
    /Users/mac/Desktop/Lunch picture.JPG: JPEG image data, EXIF standard
    mac $ 
    what you do is type file followed by a space. No need to type out the file path &name. Drop the file you wish to identify onto the terminal window. Press return after the drop.
    you can also list the entire contents of a folder by the command:
    file *
    What you would do in this case is to use the cd command to move to the folder you want:
    cd
    then drag the folder you want to see & drop it on the terminal window. Press return after the drop.
    Here is an overview of the terminal commands. Lets assume that your account has a short user name of mac.
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
    #How to list all of your disks.
    # The ls command is for list
    mac $ ls /Volumes/

    For cryptic comments, you can always uses the manual command which is man. For example:

    I noticed that you had spaces in your filenames or directories. You need to escape them. See examples:
    mac $ ls -l ~/"see it"

    mac $

    Do you know about tabing? Type in a few letters of a name then press the tab key. The computer will type out the rest of the name if it is unique.

  • File extension problems

    I'm not sure if this is the right place or not for this question but I'm really stumped and not sure where else to go!
    I renamed a file using a decimal in the actual name (ex: picture 2.99) and was asked something about using the extension '.99'. Being impatient as I am I guess I didn't fully read what it was asking. Now I am unable to rename any files or folders in Finder, nor am I able to create new folders, they all just remain as "untitled folder". Have I completely screwed something up? I really don't even know what I did in the first place! Someone help!!
    Thanks

    I had saved some pictures from the IKEA website and was going to rename them with the price included. I only actually renamed one. I've since deleted the picture, and the folder it was in, which was one I created. It didn't change anything though.

  • Capture file extension problem

    Hi
    I am using FCP 7 and OS is 10.8.2. when I capture a video footage from my recorder its automaticaly changed the extention of file in avi and file is spliting almost 5gb.But its working in fcp.Anybody knows why did happend this.
    Nisar778

    any chance you've set a limit to the export file size in your system settings?
    And don't see how it's creating avi's.  First troubleshooting step is to reset your fcp preferences

  • Problem with AI File extension association

    I have Adobe CS4 and for some reason, my computer doesn't recognize  Adobe Illustrator as the default program for .ai files. Instead, it  lists AIRegedit.exe.
    When I open up the Properties, it displays in the type of file field  "example.ai" as an .ai file instead of the normal Adobe Illustrator  Document.
    When I open up "Associate a file type or protocol with a specific  program" .ai files are listed as "AI File" instead of "Adobe Illustrator  Document."
    Usually the icon for an Illustrator document is an orange square with  inner white lettering, but now it is a white block with a small orange  square inside.
    I'm novice when it comes to Regedit, so I'm wondering if anyone has had  similar problems or suggestions on how I could fix this file extension  problem.
    Thanks!

    something got messed up, usually re-starting is the miracle fix for a number of windows issues. If it does not get fix by itself try this:
    right click on an AI file, in the context menu choose "Open With", then go down to "Chose Program...". Find AI CS4, select it by clicking once and make sure to check "Always use selected program...."

  • FCP exports files without file extensions

    Hello-- when I export a QT in FCP, it results in a file that does not have a file extension. I've confirmed that Finder is set to show all file extensions on my system, and when I export a file from FCP and "get info", Finder shows the file name is indeed missing the extension-- and even when I unlock the file and have read/write permissions for it, the "hide extension" option for these exported files is greyed out (so I can't check or uncheck it, and the file details confirm it has no extension as part of the file name).
    When these files are accessed on a Windows system, they won't play unless I manually add the .mov at the end... which is really troublesome when I'm doing a massive batch export of files to have to rename each one!
    The problem appears to have only started after the last update of 10.6.4... which also coincided with my systems update to FCP 7.0.2. Is this a known issue for anyone else? Or just a coincidence? Thanks for any help in advance!

    Thanks for the reply Meg! I'm exporting from a sequence... it looks like sending a to Compressor or File>Export>Quicktime movie works OK but selecting a (or several) sequences or clips within the browser and then using the "batch export" feature will generate the file extension problem. Hmmm. I wonder if something is corrupted with my newest install?

  • I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket.  FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423.  They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook.  Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of so

    I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket.  FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423.  They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook.  Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of something like .mov or mp4.  How can I change the extension after the fact and avoid it in the future?

    You said, "the 4 also has signal and wifi whereas the 5 has only wifi". By "signal", I'm assuing that you mean cellular signal. If so, that means your iPhone 4 is still active on your cellular number and your iPhone 5 is not. Contact your carrier to sort out which phone is active on your account.

  • Problems uploading images with uppercase (.JPG) file extension.

    I am using coldfusion 8 and have no problems uploading an image using CFFile when the image has a lowercase file extensions such as .jpg however if the same file has a Uppercase file extension .JPG coldfusion hangs and then just times out. The files are exactly the same just different cases in the extensions.
    Any idea?
    My cffile is set as such   <cffile accept="image/*" action="upload" destination="#uploadfolder2#" filefield="profilePictureFileBrowser" nameconflict="makeunique" >
    I tried changing the accept property to image/*, image/jpg, image/JPG but that did not fix the problem either

    Thanks for the quick reply. So I removed the tag and even though I get an error after submitting the form it appears to not hang anyways. Any idea how to fix this?
    I am on a windows 2003 server so cases sensitifity should not be a problem. I am perplexed as to why this would work with lowercase extensions an not upper?

    I was having an issue opening a spreadsheet with the file extension .xlsm. This appears as an attachment from a client which means macros were utilized when creating the spreadsheet. The problem lies in. The iPads ability to open the attachment. I downloaded the numbers app thinking this would be a default software to open any and all spreadsheets.
    Please Help!
    Ipad 2- iOS5

    You may need a version without macros on it. Unfortunately, pretty much all apps are skinned down versions of their original program, often with less functionality. For example in a word document I can italicize,bold and underline, but I only have a handful of fonts to play with and I don't think I can insert tables or images.
    It is very possible that the app simply cannot run macros, which means that document may never work on an iPad.

  • Pse 7 changes the file extensions, by using a -1 up to 6 times on a photo, how to stop this problem.

    I cannot keep up with my photos, they somehow change the file extension by adding
    a -1 over and over, how can I stop this process
    to keep a single file extension?

    I checked out the backup/sync, it is not turned on after checking.   Also I do not have a second computer as a backup, I use an Esata drive of 1 TB.
    I have a photo called Rose.jpg, later I try to open the file and it tell be its lost.  I try to reconnect, no luck, then I manually try to find the file and its called Rose-1.jpg or up to Rose-1-1-1-1-1-1.jpg or Rose-1-1-1-1-1-1_edited.jpg.  I do not understand what is taking place in my computer with my photos.   I have about 17,000 photos and I am having a real problem.

  • FileDialog (filtering for certain file extensions)

    I have used JFileChooser in the past and was modifying my code to use FileDialog instead as it looks better, looks like the one used by every other Windows program and takes less code to get the job done. My
    question is how to filter for certain file extensions in FileDialog as you can in JFileChooser. I cannot seem to figure out how to, so any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you.
    P.S. Also if you know how to turn off all files like you can in JFileChooser, that would also be extremely helpful.

    Go to the JFileChooser tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/filechooser.html and skip to the section entitled "Filtering the List of Files". That sounds like it should answer your question.

  • Damaged files or extension problem

    When I copie my files, which I create at home, on the server at my work location (I am using a Maxtor external HD). And I'm opening these files, a lot of the images are being damaged. Mostly -eps and -tif files.
    However when I go home and open them again, there's no problem.
    The systems and software at home and at the work location are the same. Except for the fact that I don't have a 'server' or network at home. (the server has a windows-platform)
    Maybe someone can help me solve the problem?

    Hi, how do you mean "damaged"? Are the files not all there (a comparison of the size on your hd vs. the file on the server will tell you)? Are the files' extensions being lost? (In the latter case, the file is all there, but the name is altered). Is it something else entirely?
    Best,

  • Problem with reading file extensions from a Fat 32 Drive

    I have been copying image files from my imac 24" OSX 10.6.8 to a Maxxtor One touch external USB drive, the drive is FAT 32 format for a PC. My wife then connects the same drive to her laptop which is running Windows 7. She then sorts the images into different folder gives me back the drive to have more loaded to sort. The problem is when I get the drive back all the image files have a funny little box behind the file extension and the preview icon is blank with a exe in green, the file info says it's a Unix extension.
    I tried to remove the little box and open the .tif file or .jpg files and all I get is a image is not readable. The same drive can be mounted back to my wife's laptop and the images open up just fine in Windows media viewer.
    What's going on here and how do I fix and prevent this from happening again?
    Thanks!
    Pat

    So No one has any ideas on how this is happening and how to go about repairing the problem.
    The trouble as I see it comes up once she moves the files into another folder on Maxxtor drive when it's hooked up to the Win 7 laptoop. The Data then is unuseable on my Mac from that point on.
    I need to know WHY so I can aviod this from happening again, and how to fix currently there is 250 GB of image files I can not access on my Mac and I still have about 2 TB of image files to go through, and THEY ALL NEED TO BE ACCESSABLE.
    Anybody?

  • Adobe Type Manager problem with Windows 7 and DIN font file extension not showing

    I have Windows 7 and for some reason I cannot install Adobe Type Manager onto my Computer.
    I need ATM to install the DIN font but am having no luck what so ever.
    I can see the DIN font in my Dropbox but it is showing up like this:-  ._DIN-bold, no file file extension. what am I doing wrong? is it Mac?

    Adobe Type Manager absolutely cannot be installed on Windows 7. In fact, even attempting to install it may corrupt your operating system installation and its ability to properly render Type 1 and OpenType CFF fonts. The last version of Windows for which ATM was at all compatible was Windows XP, 32-bit only!
    Adobe Type Manager is not at all necessary to install fonts, even Type 1 fonts, on Windows 7 systems. Right click on the font file for TrueType of OpenType CFF fonts or the .PFM file for Type 1 fonts and select the Install option.
    The font file you are trying to install is for MacOS. It cannot be installed on Windows.
