Hex dump from open file in frozen app

Despirit - Have an open QuarkEXpress file in frozen QXP. Their latest release for OSX ML freezes when spell check is run.
Quark techs sent instructions; thought they worked, but they also erased my auto save and edition save preferences.
I have legal doc needs to be filed Monday AM.
Can I use terminal to get a hex dump of file contents or print the text to another file from memory that might still be holding document contents.
I put the MBPro to sleep and am cooling it with a fan. I don't want to loose this document.

Can't open file "/Applications/iWeb.app."

I just installed ILife 09 and I can't get iweb to launch. I get: Can’t open file “/Applications/iWeb.app.” error message.
I tried to reinstall it without luck. Any ideas? Bad pref file? If so, which one and where?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Ddelete the iWeb preference file, com.apple. iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iWeb and see if that helps.
Also have you rebooted since installing the new version?

Create Smart Object /Frame Layer from open file in PSE8?

I'm loving the trial version of PSE 8. Several features that I don't want to live without!
One thing that I find more difficult is creating a Smart Object or a Frame Layer (did those get replaced?) from an open file. Because I digital scrapbook in different aspect ratios (12x12 for print and 15x9 for my photo frame) I want to maintain independent resolution of my pictures so I can change the crop, size etc. My regular process (pse6) is to open a bunch of pictures and elements (papers, embellishments, etc), adjust the pictures as I desire (usually Smart Fix, plus a little midtone contrast), drop the elements into a blank file or template from the layers palette so they will not be frame layers, but drop the photos in from the Open Files bin as Frame Layers. Then I simply resize the frame itself to match what I want on the page, and adjust the picture inside the frame.
With PSE 8 I found I can drop a file from "Show Files from Organizer" and they will become Smart Objects (File: Place works too). However, they have to be saved first, and I often don't save all my changes. I would like to be able to create a Smart object or Frame Layer from an open file.
Also, is there any way to change the size/zoo of the picture within a Smart Object? Or crop it? If not, does this really mean I have to crop my file, save it, and then add it as a Smart Object? Ugh. (Or create a rectangle for each SO and group them to form a clipping mask, I suppose. Either is a pain).
Any recommendations for a better workflow that maintains independence?
Thanks,
Lisa

Thank you! This is very timely as I've been playing around with digital scrapbooking a lot more. I've been having luck with using a grouped layer to "crop" the photo. This way I can actually crop out what I know I'll never use, but use the layer mask to keep some edges that I might want around.
Do you have any opinion on whether it's better to use a smart object or not? I'll try both, I guess, and see what it does to my file size.

Windows Explorer Right Click - Open file in Air App

I have an AIR App that I made to run on my desktop. It is used for editing specifc XML files. I want to know if its possible to setup so that I can right click on an XML file while browsing Windows Explorer and choose an option to "Open in (my AIR App)" ... that would lauch my AIR app and also open the xml.
Right now, I have to launch my AIR app, click to open a file, and then browse for the file and select it.

ok so after all of this time, i stumbled upon something that should solve my problem. i created a new AIR file in flash and put a text field on the stage with the name "my_txt" then I just added this bit of script (below) .... then once I installed the air app, i opened a file into the app and the path to the file was displayed in the text box thats on the stage. now i just have to use this path to actually open the file.
import flash.events.InvokeEvent;
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, invoked);
function invoked(evt:InvokeEvent):void{
my_txt.text = String(evt.arguments[0]);

Users are blocked from opening files

I am running an intranet server with WIndows server 2008 on it.
2 days ago the power went down and when the ups ran out of power so did the server. Some of my coleagues restarted the server since it was blocked and since it blocks almost at 2 hours. Users can browse folders from the shared files, but when they try opening
the files (mostly excel files) they get stuck.
Did anyone else have this problem? I need to know how to fix it.

Hi,
Is there any error message when you access the shared files? Please open the Shared Folders snap-in in mmc, and then find the Open Files in the Shared Folders to check if there is any session opens the shared files.
Shared Folders includes the Open Files that shows the files on the system that are currently open and shows you which users have the files or folders open.

Problems with opening files in correct app

Hi guys
Recently we have switched over at my company to OSX tiger. I work for a design firm doing artwork for various clients in the retail sector. We have a bank of logos and images on file that we use, mostly Illustrator eps saved in version 10 of the application. We are having problems opening these files in the right app. It keeps defaulting to opening in Photoshop. When we change the settings in get info and apply them to all, all our photoshop eps try and open in Illustrator. This is proving a real pain especially when opening the files from Quark after double clicking on the image and pressing the edit original button. Is there any way we can tell the system to open Illustrator files in Illustrator and Photoshop files in Photoshop.
Cheers Thom

Hi, Thom.
You wrote: "We have a bank of logos and images on file that we use, mostly Illustrator eps saved in version 10 of the application.

When we change the settings in get info and apply them to all, all our photoshop eps try and open in Illustrator."You are describing the procedure in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing the application that opens a document."
The problem is due to the fact that a given file type or extension, e.g. .eps, can be bound via "Change All" to only one application. If you bind (set the default application) all .eps to Illustrator, that's what they'll all open in.
For the situation you have, you need to bind the documents individually to the specific application. If you can gather a selection of the documents, you can use the contextual menu of the selection (Control-click or right-click the selection), hold the Option key, select "Always open with..." and select the desired application. The selected documents will open in that application and they will henceforth be bound to it until you again change the documents default application.
You can reset all the default bindings you've defined by using the Tiger-specific procedure in my "Resetting Launch Services" FAQ. Start with Step 6 since you also want to eliminate user-defined bindings.
Good luck!

Problem displaying characters from pdf file in Preview.app

Hi,
I hope someone can help with this problem.
I have some issues with the display of pdf files on OSX. The problems are with ligatures like 'fl' which Preview.app displays incorrectly as 'oeu'. There are other symbols which Preview also displays incorrectly.
This problem is not affected by cleaning the font cache and as far as I can tell all the fonts are present and correct. I am guessing the problem has something to do with Preview finding a different version of the Times or TimesRoman font than Adobe Reader uses, and so it gets the wrong symbol, but I'm not sure.
How can I ensure that Preview uses the same fonts as Adobe Reader? and how can I get Preview to render my pdf's correctly?
Here is a sample of the problem with Preview.app (4.1):
!http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3456/33599073294296beb1a8m.jpg!
and with Adobe Reader (9.0.0)- correctly rendered:

My computer automatically open PDF inside the Safari
window, but I wish it would go back to opening it
externally via Adobe. (maybe we should trade
computers:-)
Anyway, we have the same question.
How do we control whether PDF launches internal to
Safari, or external in Adobe?
This is what I would like to as well. I often have a lot of pdf files I need to open and then save to my hard drive. When I click on a pdf file on a website Safari opens it and then I need to right click in the document to open it with Adobe. How can I get it to open in Adobe the first time without having to right click after it opens in Safari?
Thanks!

Make default app for opening files NOT default app

A long time ago I assigned TexEdit as the default app to open all basic text files.
Now I've started using Bean and whenever I edit a Bean file it's icon changes to a TexEdit file instead of retaining the Bean icon.
Even using Get Info to change it to open with Bean only lasts until the file is edited again.
How can I tell the system to leave the Bean files alone and not open them with TexEdit?
Thanks for any advice.
Ron

Eric... yes
Now I'd like to have it so whatever text app creates a file... that app will be the default to open its own files.

Open File in and app - Reverts to desktop?!

When using an application (photoshop for example) and open a file - It starts me off on the desktop, I navigate to the folder that contains my file (HD/files/fresh) and open the file.
NOW...
If I hit apple-o, to open another file it starts me off at the desktop! NOT where I just was?! I'm working on machine that used to belong to someone else, and not sure if they changed something to make it work like this.
Any ideas?
MANY MANY thanks for your help.

Try dragging the 'com.apple.finder.plist' file to your desktop and restart.

Photoshop won't save Metadata from opened file!?

I have a somewhat strange workflow when it comes to using Lightroom so I'll try to explain it in order to make this as easy to understand.
I use Image Ingester to import my images on to a computer and then I rate them and tag them in Bridge. I then use ACR to convert them to DNG files and place them in a new folder (buckets from the DAM book). After that they get imported in to the proper catalog in Lightroom. I then find the images that I want and export them as originals to a derivatives hard drive. I work on the images in Photoshop, save them as a PSD in a derivative 'bucket' and then re-import them to Lightroom so they can be exported in a batch. When I export them from Lightroom to the derivative hard drive as a DNG or Original (same thing in this case) it retains its metadata that has been added. But as soon as I save it in Photoshop as a PSD it loses its metadata. I don't understand why this is happening.
I hope there is an easy fix for this.
Cheers,
Matthew

Hi,
Did you solve your save problem? I am having the exact problem suddenly. Never happened before and now can't solve it. Did a repair permissions after upgrade to iphoto 06; but can't save anything to desktop after bringing any photo from iphoto to photoshop. The same error is coming up
"Could not complete your request because of a program error"
Folks at Photoshop said it is definately an iphoto permissions problem, not photoshop.
If you figured it out, I'd sure appreciate your solution.

Can't open files saved from Safari

In SL, I have a new problem with files that are saved from Safari.
I first noticed it with an Automator service I made, which took selected text and made a text file out of it. But I eventually discovered the problem seemed to be with Safari. Any time Safari saves a file -- if for example, I click a link and it downloads a .zip file, then there is something wrong with that file that prevents me from opening it in another app.
When I try to open the saved file, either by double-clicking in the Downloads window or from the Finder, the target app just starts bouncing in the dock and never opens. I have to force-quit it. If the target app is already open, it switches to it but never opens the document.
This is only for files that were saved by Safari. Other PDF's and zip's open just fine.
And, if I manually launch the target app, and then go to Open... and navigate to the saved document, I can open it fine.
Files saved from Safari seem to have something wrong with them. If I quit Safari, logout, or even reboot, they still refuse to open by double-clicking.
What could be causing this?

Reset safari
Safari/Reset Safari
Go to Your HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and remove to trash the "AdobePDFViewer.plugin".
Open Safari and a .pdf and it should now open with Preview in a Safari/Browser window.
If not then re download

Unable to open files from 3rd party websites/applications

Hi all,
My new macbook arrived with QT 7.0.4, I used it perfectly for a week with no problem, but now after carrying out a 'software upgrade' via system preferences to QT 7.1.1 I now find that Quicktime will not open hardly anything!!!! Not bad considering Apples information at the download window states that 7.1.1 was implemented to fix bugs that prevented QT from opening files in 3rd party applications. Whats going on?.......
In the mean time I've had to carry out a system reboot to go back to QT 7.0.4 and now its back to how it should be. What version of Quicktime 7 am I going to have to wait for before this issue if rectified?
Cheers
Smarteee

Thanks all

Where's the drop-down with "Recent places" in "Open File" dialogue?

Hi,
Until Mountain Lion, all "Open file" dialogue boxes included at the top a drop-down list with higher-level locations as welll as "recent places" - folders that were recently used to open files.
In apps such as Smultron, this is hugely efficient and I would say the vast majority of the file I open, I access via that drop-down.
Now, in apps that support iCloud, the UI of the "Open file" dialogue has changed significantly - with that drop-down now completely missing!!!
I am actually really really upset about this feature being removed. Is there ANY way to bring it back? I waste so much time now in opening files, it's ridiculous.
Thanks,
Biranit

Wierdly the only way I have found to bring this essential piece of the open file dialog box back is to disable icloud "Docuemetns & Data". Then hey presto the view controls are back on the top and the drop-down returns.
...but you don't have icloud documents any more
Sounds like a wierd omission in Mountain Lion if you ask me. I use that drop-down all the time...

[SOLVED] C : How to block opening files "above" a specified directory?

SOLVED: Used
man 3 realpath
Hello Archers,
I have this one problem I've been struggling with. I kind of solved it but the solution's hackish.
My question is how do you prevent the opening of files "above" a specified directory? The reason behind this is that I'm writing a simple sharing server, something like Xyne's quickserve, but in C and with a GTK GUI. I'm using the libmicrohttpd library.
The program works this way: the user selects a port and a directory to be "served", and then he can access the files under the directory he chose. However, there obviously needs to be a way to prevent the user from opening files above the directory by using ".."'s for example.
For now, I simply plan on rejecting all queries containing ".." (http://github.com/houbysoft/quickshare/ … hare.c#L59), but that's obviously very imperfect -- and you could get around it if there is a symlink in the directory for example.
Any pointers will be very appreciated, thanks.

The POSIX.1-2001 standard version of this function is broken by design, since it is impossible to

using pathconf(3). And asking pathconf(3) does not really help, since, on the one hand POSIX warns

hand pathconf(3) may return -1 to signify that PATH_MAX is not bounded. The resolved_path == NULL
feature, not standardized in POSIX.1-2001, but standardized in POSIX.1-2008, allows this design
problem to be avoided.
So be careful to either pass resolved_path as NULL and bite the potential unportablilty bullet, or copy canonicalize_file_name or canonicalize_filename_mode from gnulib.
Yeah, I am passing NULL.
