ECL Viewer - Open Local File

If I open a tiff image using cv03n and display it in the ECL Viewer. Then I save as a local file. Is there a way to re-open the local file using "open local file" - that option is greyed out. Is this controlled by an authorization object or something is DMS configuration I have missed.
Tom

Hi Tom,
unfortunately it is not possible to open the local saved file again in the ECL Viewer. This is designed that way because the
ECL Viewer should be used to display original files which are stored in the SAP system and the idea is not to allow also the display of locally saved files in the ECL viewer within your SAP system.
So the locally saved files has to be opened in a separate viewer.
Best regards,
Christoph

File open menu will not open local files using open command but the same files will open if I double click them (permissions seem fine)

Under File menu Open File will not open local files even those downloaded to the desktop by Firefox 5.
If I double click on HTML file it does open
Reinstalled. Same behaviour. Default Browser set correctly.
Permissions set correctly. Odd behaviour.

Are you sure it hasn't imported?
Check for the track names (trackname only, not Album or Artist)) and see if they have a blank Artist and Album, because WAV files have no MetaData, so are kind of stupid as far as knowing anything about the Artist, Album & track id.
You can't search by 'Untitled' either as there is literally, no name at all, but iTunes does pick up the actual physical track name in Finder and uses that. As an example, if you renamed your Aerosmith WAV file from say 'Toys In The Attic' to 'Love Song' it would import the track as 'Love Song' as that's all it can go by.
There are a few iTunes AppleScripts that let you import from a file of WAV music, by looking at the enclosing Album in the enclosing Artist as that's how most PC progs create the WAV file structure.

How to open local file link in IE ?

I know, this question is not APEX-related per se, but I was not able to google the fix to this problem.
In my application, users can open a file open dialog and retrieve a complete file path that is later stored in the DB. Of course, Firefox's javascript does not allow this, but Adam Fisk's applet (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405630#c40) does the job.
The file path links to file:///..... . In Firefox, I have managed to open these links with NoScript settings (white list for our intranet trusted addresses and "allow local links" for trusted sites).
Also, there is a LocalLink plugin (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_don%27t_work) that allows to open local file links from context menu.
However, on Internet Explorer nothing happens and LocalLink and NoScript are only for FF.
Has anyone here managed to open local and intranet file links in IE?

Open local file using fileReference in AIR

I just started to build an AIR application and am facing a
very basic problem. I need a File->Open menu that pops up a file
open dialog and returns the location (including folder) of a file
to edit.
- I tried the fileReference.browse() but this does not seem
to provide the full path to the file
- I tried fileReferenceList.browse() but the SELECT event
does not fire on my Mac under (seem to be a bug reported last
October:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-13220)
Now, how can I achieve this in AIR? I assume opening local
file is a pretty standard operation for desktop application, any
suggestion/tip?
thanks
*P

You don't want to use FileReference in AIR for what you are
doing. Check the documentation for the mx.controls.FileSystemTree.
There are actually a handful of AIR-specific controls for accessing
the file system. There isn't a "File Open" dialog per se; you can
build your own out of the controls given. I will say that the
controls will have the flavor of the OS (so on a Mac the controls
will behave similarly to the way a Mac accessses and browses for
files).

Opening local file from button

Hey,
Does anyone have any idea on how I would point a button to open a PDF that is stored locally on the PC in Siena?
I've tried Launch(" ") but this seems to only be for URL's.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Unfortunately, this cannot be done in this version of Siena. It is a feature that has been asked for a lot, so hopefully they will add it to a future version.

Opening local files using a URLRequest

is it possible to open a file from say C drive when your flash file is in C:\somefolder?

I suppose if it's in the same folder as the requesting swf you can, but after that you're likely to run into sandbox security issues that you would have to deal with. Here's a fuller discussion of what's happening in Flash 10, which opens some possibilities:

Unable to open local file using af:goLink and anchor link in JSF page.

Hi,
I want to open a file at a perticular location on client machine. I am using af:goLink to openg the file. But when i tried to click on the link it is not opening the file. If i give any other value like name of other site, it opens the link. It is not giving any exception also. I tried by puting notmal HTML anchor link. That is also not working. But if i put this anchor link in normal HTML page, it works.
Following is the JSPX page that i have created. Here c:\dmmsi.log is a temp file on my local system.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.0"

HTML Page i tried using anchor link
<html>
<body>
<form>
Please specify a file from your local machine</b>
<input name="file" type="file" onblur="document.forms[0].hello.value = document.forms[0].file.value; document.getElementById('you').innerHTML =document.forms[0].file.value; document.getElementById('you').href = 'file://'+document.forms[0].file.value;">
<br><br>
<input type="text" name="hello" value="">
<br><br>

</form>
</body>
</html>
(Note: Please remove the comments that i have added in creating anchor link. I was facing some issue in putting my code in this editor. It was creating the HTML link when i see the preview.)
I hope you will be able to reproduce my problem.

What version of IE are you using? IIRC, IE 7 is supposed to prompt you. ("The web site is attempting to open a page in your Trusted Zone. This can let hax0rs pwnz0r you. Continue?" or something to that effect.)
If you use the verbatim tags, do you get an actual error message? That might help diagnose the problem.

How Can I Get A Flash Movie to Access Local Files

I have a customer that has created a Flash movie to run off a CD. The movie is basically a set of menus with links to access local files in the same directory as the movie. i.e. Main folder (to be root of CD) has the movie, a Documents folder with PDFs, a Movie folder with wmv and mov files, etc.
The problem arrises when you click on a link to a file, a web browser is launched, and the browser tries to display the target file. The movie was designed on a Windows system, and, mostly it works in a Windows environment, however, the links totally crap out on a Mac because the URLs are pc centric.
He is a rookie flash programmer so I am trying to help him set up proper links to the files, so that the files will (hopefully) launch the proper local app and not a web browers. i.e. if the link points to a PDF, the Adobe Reader is launched; if the link is to a mov file, then QuickTime is launched....
Is there a way to do this? All the tutorials I have found all seem to expect the flash movie to be running on a web server, and as such do not work when running the movie off a CD.
Any help or suggestions would be grealy appreciated.
A response ASAP would also be greatly appreciated as the customer needs to deliver 200 CDs of the project for a presentation tomorrow morning - I have to create the CDs...
TIA

Hi there,
Maybe you would want to use swfObject, i've been using it for
a long time now.

On Mac OSX open local files in a new Tab instead of a new Window

on my Mac Book Pro OSX 10.6 both FF3. and FF6. does not open new tab for links on local files(file:///) but new window instead.
FF3 and FF6 does open new Tabs for external url (http://)
My FF preferences are set to 'new tab always".
I tried some "browser.links." prperties in "about:config"
I tried also "Tabs Mix Pluos" extension.
With no change.
Note:
* FF3.6 was doing the same thing on my (past) Mac G4
* Safari, Chrome, Opera do the right thing (open new tab) on the same Mac and files.
* FF3.6 and FF6 do the right thing (open new tab) on my PC window XP

You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Flash can't open a file...?

Any ideas on how to get a AS3 file to open that won't open no matter what I try?
I was attempting to trouble-shoot some output errors I was getting while testing my movie. At one point, I had the bright idea of changing the name of the file's root folder. Once I did that, my file couldn't recognize its "home", understandably.
So, it asked me to save as (or "replace"?) the file, and I did. Flash then crashed, and I haven't been able to open the file since.
Any help would be much appreciated. It's a web site for a friend, and he's anxious to get it up and running.
Thanks.

Hi!
I haven't looked at this thread in a while, as I abandoned trying to fix the problem and simply re-created my .fla file.
What happened - if I can remember correctly (it happened ina flurry of activity) was that I was getting scripting errors. I was wondering if there was a problem with Flash detecting some of my xml files in the root folder.
So, I changed the name of my .fla file IN the root folder. Flash then gave me a warnign that the file could not be found, and if I wanted to replace it with the new file name.... which I clicked "yes".... Flash then spun around for a few seconds and then crashed.
When I went back to the file, it would not open. That's the best of my recollections of what happened.
I use CS5, and I am on a Mac.
Thanks.

Firefox on Mac will not open local files

On my Mac, since ver 3.6 I've noticed that when FF is not running, when I open/drag-and-drop a local file, FF opens to the homepage (which has been set to Google). When FF is running, the local files (HTML or even TXT) open fine. FF on my PC is fine. Is this the default behavior? How do I make FF start on the file I just tried to open?

Please restart the computer and try again.

Can't open local files.

I cannot open any local files or folders in Firefox.
I have tried opening the following file types in Firefox: htm, html, txt, pdf, xpi.
I have tried opening files in the following ways:
-Drag drop onto Firefox from windows explorer
-Right click file in windows explorer and open with Firefox
-Double click files that would be opened in Firefox by default
-"Open file" from Firefox file menu
I have experienced this problem in Firefox 3.x and Firefox 4.0. When I try to open a file in Firefox it creates a new tab with the file's path in the address bar but the file does not open.
Any idea what could be going wrong?
thanks
Rob

You may have an extension (NoScript?) that blocks access to local files.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

AS2, Flash 8 and opening pdf files

Hi all,
I am using Flash 8, Actionscript 2, to open pdf files from a
projector.
Everything is fine if I use 'FreeMX' and the computer has
Acrobat 5, 6, 7 installed.
But it fails to work if the computer has Adobe Reader 8
installed - the pdf document does not open.
Does anyone know of this and whether there is a workround?
It's kinda urgent - the client is breathing down my neck here:)
Julian

I think I may have resolved my problem - it looks like Adobe
Reader 8 uses different code to parse its command line than before.
The path and file name I used in my code had '/' as the path
separator, which worked fine with Acrobat/Reader 6 and 7. But (at
least here) not with Adobe Reader 8 - instead I had to convert to
'\' to make it work.

Fireworks will not open local files

I use a Web Page to have students navigate to either web
sites or local (c: drive) files for their classes. I cannot get
Fireworks to open the local files, but I can create hyperlinks in
Dreamweaver and they work fine. I am trying to create a popup menu!
Hyperlink in Dreamweaver =
file:///C|/mts/course/index_mts.html
Placed in Fireworks popup menu, will not open the file.
Any thoughts?

Please note that Fireworks is an image/web graphic editing
application, while Dreamweaver is a HTML authoring application.
Fireworks cannot open HTML files, only Dreamweaver can open
html files. Fireworks only exports simple HTML-generated for
certain simple, basic pop-up menus. But it is not recommended,
though. Best if you create menus in HTML/CSS around Dreamweaver
than Fireworks.
