Help! Save File Dialog CRASHES Every Program

Suddenly, I cannot save a file in any program in Mac OS X. As soon as I select "Save..." or hit Ctrl+S, the program crashes. This happens in every program, all of them!
The problem persists across multiple reboots, and even after repairing permissions, verifying the disk, and booting into single-user mode and running fsck (and the disk passed).
Please email me directly at jonmills at email dot unc dot edu if you have any ideas how to fix this. It has rendered my computer unusable, and I may have to completely re-install.

to make things clearer a screenshot of the dialog I'm talking about. this happens everywhere such a generic save file dialog appears.

Finder in Save file dialog Safari crash

Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard at launch, Safari 4 doesn't seem to like me searching in the save file dialog box. It doesn't seem to matter whether or not I actually save the file, and I made a screen recording to show what happens here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFKkPI2vGr8
I've reset Safari, and I repaired my disk permissions after loading up Snow Leopard. What gives? This is really annoying when I want to get to a folder fast, and dragging and dropping image files to folders seems to cause them to open in different Preview windows (or not even open at all).
Any help would be much appreciated. This is seriously making me consider going back to Firefox or just going with Chrome - this crash doesn't happen with either of them!

The problems are caused by third party input managers/enhancers that have not yet been updated by their developers to comply with the standards used by Safari 3.2.1. and/or Safari 4.
In your case these are:
com.zang.RegexKit 0.6.0 (0.6.0) <71374A4A-3B24-4759-E994-AB9E135345CB> /Library/InputManagers/Safari AdBlock/Safari AdBlock Loader.bundle/Contents/PlugIns/Safari AdBlock.bundle/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/RegexKit.framework/Versions/A/Regex Kit
You fill find them in one or either of these folders:
Home/Library/Input Managers
Hard Disk/library/Input Managers
Hard Disk/Library/Application Support
although the exact location is indicated in your crash report as quoted above - look under 'Binary Images'.
Close Safari and delete them, then restart Safari and it should be working normally. Alternatively drag them to the desktop and restart Safari. then add them back one at a time, restarting Safari every time, until you find the one (or more) causing the crash.
Check with the developers of the plug-ins in question for updates that are Safari 4 compliant.

Suggest a filename extension in a save file dialog

Hello guys,
does any of you know, how to suggest the user a certain filename extension in a save file dialog?
I'm using both the normal save file dialog:
     javax.swing.JFileChooser.showSaveDialog,
and the Java Web Start save file dialog:
     javax.jnlp.FileSaveService.saveFileDialog.
For both ways I seem not to be able to suggest the user a certain extension for the filename.
For the normal dialog, I call setFileFilter on the JFileChooser instance.
The filter shows up in the dialog, and is used by default, but when the user types a name and approves, the returned filename does not have the extension added.
Of course I can add the extension programmaticaly, but not when inside the JAWS sandbox.
For the JAWS dialog, I pass an array containing my extension, but it is ignored as if I didn't specify any extensions. The API specs already say that this parameter "might be ignored by the JNLP Client".
So how to tell the user what extension to use?
More people must have encountered this problem.
I'm making an application that saves and opens xml files and exports html files.
I'm using this code to test the behavior:import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;

return ext;

@tjacobs01
Hi Tom,
I have a question regarding your classes
tjacobs.ui.fc.FileExtensionFilter and
tjacobs.ui.fc.FileChooser.
When I look at your code, I see the filename extension is appended in showSaveDialog:     public int showSaveDialog(Component c) {
                    setSelectedFile(new File(f.getAbsolutePath() + "." + ((FileExtensionFilter)filter).getType()));
    }It gets the extension by calling getType on the filter. But getType is implemented as:    public String getType () {
        return mExtensionList.get(0).toString();
    }So this returns the first type in the list. It does not check what filetype is selected by the combobox.
Am I missing something?
Also, in getDescription:    public String getDescription() {
        if (mDesc == null) {
            mDesc = "";
            for (int i = 0; i < mExtensionList.size(); i++) {
                mDesc += (i != 0 ? ", " : "") + "." + mExtensionList.get(0).toString();
            mDesc+= " files";
        return mDesc;
    }you seem to iterate through the list, but only take the first entry every iteration.
Can you explain mExtensionList.get(0)?
Do you know how to test what type is selected in the JFileChooser's combobox?

Save File-Dialog not responding

In every document-style app (Pages, TextEdit etc.) the save file dialog suggests iCloud as default destination to save to. When I click the Drop-Down to select another location the whole application hangs and shows me the marvelous marble of death.
Is there anybody else experiencing this? How could this be solved?
(Behaviour seen on 10.8.2 but also on 10.8.1)

How to incorporate File name and timestamp automatically into select and save file dialog box?

Hello,
i am trying to incorporate the file name which is inputed by the user along with the timestamp into the selected and save file dialog box. Can you help?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can pass a default file name to the 'File Dialog' Express VI.
Use the 'selected path' output to open the file.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.

Windows Classis Theme - Windows Classic Start Menu / Save Files Dialog

MS, please keep a way back to the 9x interface!
Really anoying that the Windows Classis Start menu (Windows 9x etc.) is not available in Win7.
(and apparently no option "Always Show All Programs" option is available and the subprograms are listed in the same window which makes it a long list)
People and commpanies want the option to go to the old-familiair Windows Classic (9x) interface!!!!
We know it, it works and it suits the purpose: why change!
Furthermore in a company environment all files are saved in a directory structure and not in the 'favorites' folders in the user profile. So please...make a simple classic w7 interface like XP (with a simple Save File Dialog) and not a Christmass Three with bells Interface like W7.
[i think that's one of the reson that ofiice 2007/vista doesn't sell as it should. I'm affraid it is a marketing strategy of MS. But unfortunately I think it drives more people in to alternatives like openoffice etc.]

The XP and later interface has always looked like something designed by Fisher-Price to me. Much more annoying, though, is the inability to go the Classic Start Menu. This is sufficient to cause me to stick with XP until it simply can't handle the then-current software. By that time, Linux should be able to run all Windows progams; it is getting closer to that now. Are you listening, MSFT? I'm an MCP with other certs, and, unless you give the option for the Classic Start Menu and a menu that shows all programs (not just a "personalized menu), XP may be my final Windows version.
I really do not understand Microsoft's lack of logic here. They changed the interface in Office 2007 with the ribbon; millions upon millions of users were proficient with the interface prior to that, and MSFT says they have to learn a new one (I agree with Frank1977 here that it's driving people to OpenOffice). That sounds like a New Coke decision to me. Maybe they have an Apple or Linux mole in there, seeking to give bad advice purposely (for any Biblically literate readers, think "Hushai the Archite", and the advice he gave Absalom).
I have defended Microsoft to many Microsoft-bashers at work, but this is becoming more and more difficult to do. And I'm losing my incentive to do so. PLEASE, Microsoft, add power and abilities, as you are doing, but don't arrogantly insist on forcing professional users to learn a new (and less capable) interface.
Well said , Tewald , have considered other options lately as far as "other operating systems go" , you listening Micro soft ?

Save File dialog from dll is not appearing to the front of TestStand window

Hi all,
I am calling a C#.net dll from a step in TestStand sequence. A function is called which pops up a Save File dialog. This Save File dialog is appearing only behind other windows. There is an overload for the showDialog function that takes the owner form as argument. My dll doesnot have a form. I would like to know how can I pass the TestStand form as owner to this Save File dialog object.
Thanks in advance

Biju,
You can build create the implement the IWin32Window interface and get the handle of TestStand window. I have created an example you can check out.

Save File Dialog problem

Hello ! I'm new with java so dont be to rude plz ;) ...
First, my situation :
I have a jsp that calls a servlet that get data from a database. After that I have to take these data and write them in a .txt file by calling a Save File Dialog. What I've done for now is to put
response.setContentType("application/msword");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment; filename=\""+fileName+"\"");
in my servlet after created my file.
My problem :
The Save File Dialog shown but if I save the file, it contains the code of my jsp page. I suppose that I have to "bind" the file and the response, but how do I do that ??
Or if you have a better way to do it ...
Thx a lot !

Here's some changes ...
I'm now able to get the file with a Save File Dialog, but I also get my jsp code in the top of my page.
Here's my code :
String fileName = "MyData.txt";
File myFile = (File)request.getAttribute("file");
/*cyc.mypackage.DataDefects ddDefects = bConn.getddMyDefects();
cyc.mypackage.Export exp = new cyc.mypackage.Export();
File myFile = exp.createDataFile(ddDefects, fileName);*/
String value = "attachment; filename=\"" + myFile.getName() + "\";" ;
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",value);
response.setContentLength((int)myFile.length());
BufferedInputStream fif = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(myFile.getAbsolutePath()));
int data;
while((data = fif.read()) != -1)
out.write(data);
fif.close();
and the result is :

Save File Dialog KO

Hi,
I’m using the Save File Dialog KO (AW7) and would like
to set a user selectable default directory. I’ve tried
entering a variable set with the appropriate path in the
‘Begin Browsing From - Other’ text box in the KO setup
but this doesn’t seem to work. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks.
Chris

Instead of using the KO, call the function tmsSaveImageFile()
in a calc script. (The KO has already loaded the function for you).
Remember to distribute the u32 with your file, as you would have
had to with the KO anyhow.

MBP doesn't save files, then crashes - Illustrator

Hi...I'm in need of some direction on what to do here. My Illustrator CS2 program on my first generation MBP decided to crash and not register any of the saves I made before the crash. I had been hitting "Save" in Illustrator for over 2 hours, and when the program "unexpectedly quit" I went to reopen Illustrator and the file only to find a very old version, not a version saved 2 minutes ago.
It's worse this morning, Illustrator CS2 is crashing every couple of minutes, and the "saved" file is a few "saves" back, if that makes sense. I just can't get Illustrator to save my file to disk, or to memory stick, or the anything else. It's like my saves don't register, and almost anything I do in Illustrator crashes the program.
Is this a hard-drive problem? A RAM problem? I have sneaking suspicions something is up with my logic board..anyways, it's the only other problem with the macbook pro (see http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/sho...101#post487101)
any help, advice, or direction would be appreciated.

Illustrator CS3 puts files in the following places…
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Save For Web AI 12.0 Prefs
~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings
What you can do is you move all/some of these files to you desktop, reset your AI settings and see if your problem goes. By moving them to you desktop you leave yourself the opportunity to put them back if it doesn't fix things by having AI make new ones.

InDesign CS6 saves file, but crashes when I try to open this file

Hi,
I am having a huge problem with Indesign since yesterday. It worked fine before.
I use Adobe Creative Suite CS6.
Since yesterday, I have problems with files that I just saved. I can open older files (from before yesterday), but I cannot open any file that I saved recently. Indesign crashes every time I open the file (the file is visible, but right before all the palettes are loaded, Indesign closes down).
I already saved several files (under different file names) since yesterday, the problem stays the same.
I already uninstalled and re-installed CS6, it didn't solve the problem.
This is quite a nightmare. I am thankful for every effort to help!
All other programs in the Creative Suite work fine!

It is puzzling indeed. And quite a desaster for me, since I have a deadline to meet.
No changes, no new installations (not known, maybe updates in the background??).
InDesign started crashing in the middle of the workprocess. Since then the problem persists.
When I open an old file and start working on it, InDesign also crashes after a while during the workprocess.
So I can't work, I can't save files ... booo!
This happened with an update of a document that I work on all the time, a monthly magazine.
Maybe it is a Windows problem, although it is strange that all other programs work fine. (I use Windows XP)

Mountain Lion Save As Dialog Crash

Hi,
I'm right now experiencing a very odd problem. I just freshly installed 10.8.5 on my girlfriends macbook pro 8,1 13". I then manually copied some contents of the ~/Library folder plus the contents of the old user's home folder and tweaked system settings.
Looks fine except if I use 'save as' in either Textedit or Preview. The dialog opens but then immediately crashes, showing the spinning wheel forever.
=> The whole dialog doesn't react anymore, except for the "Format: PNG" dropdown menu. In that area only, the spinning wheel becomes a mouse again.
Other 'Save As' dialogs (Word, Firefox, Terminal) seem to work fine. So far, this only happens reproducably with Preview and Textedit. I checked and repaired the file system and access rights. There was nothing wrong. Will try reseting PRAM, though I doubt this will lead somewhere.
Maybe something went wrong while restoring the backup??
Any help would be highly appreciated!!
Cheers.

As I cannot edit anymore, here some more details:
This also happens when closing a new document and Preview/Textedit asks whether the document should be saved or not.
PRAM reset was no use. And logging in as guest user doesn't change anything.
Help!

Help my logic keeps crashing every time I load it..

hey I just downloaded 10.4.9 and at first my computer kept crashing then it work for a bit but now logic crashes every time I load it. I have tried to restart many times and it still crashes. Should i go back 10.4.8? And if so how do I get 10.4.8 back? Please help...

Hi Phillip,
first one questions - How did you update ? Was it the Software update app? If so - you need to undo it by reinstalling this:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1049comboupdateintel.html
for intel
or this for PPC
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1049comboupdateppc.html
If you wanna be safe dont ever use software update for system updates. Always go and get the combo updater...
Now - though you have installed 10.4.9 already you can still install the combo updater over it... Please do so...
When you reboot go to the following locations and delete all contents of those folders:
Home/library/Caches
MacHD/Library/Caches
MacHD/System/Library/Caches
also delete these two files
Extensions.kextcache
Extensions.mkext
in MacHD/System/Library
go to your preferences folder in your home and search for Logic - delete all Logic's preferences.
Now repair your disk permissions again. and reboot holding atlapple+pr until you hear the chime 3 times (Intel) at least 5 times (PPC)
Once rebooted make sure you have taken your autoload out of the folder where it resides. Now boot logic and see if it works.
I guess that since your 10.4.8 system ran, you are dealing with a typical error of having installed the wrong updater...
The great thing about digidesign's support forum is that they post such compatibility alerts so that their users dont get caught with their pants down:-)))
Anyway - good luck.
