Hide extension for files in download window

Every time I download an image it has a stupid name and I have to edit it. However when I triple click the name, the image's extension gets involved and I have to rewrite it again. It wouldn't be a problem if I didn't download about 10 images daily. I used Google Chrome and it hid the file extension in download window, which made the full process of renaming easier. How could I hide the extension of files in downloading window?

Welcome to Apple Communities
Is it only in Dock? If it doesn't appear in the Finder, open Finder, press Option key, select Go > Library, open Preferences, delete com.apple.dock.plist, open Terminal and type:
killall Dock

  • Hi, I've been trying for days to download Windows support software via Bootcamp assistant, but it always failed with message 'Can't install Windows Support Software because it is not currently available from the Software update server.' Any advice welcome

    Hi,
    I've been trying for days to download Windows support software via Bootcamp assistant but it always fails with message 'Can't install windows software because it is not currently available from the software update server.'
    Anyone else had problems or success with this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
    You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it.

  • How-to hide the portal file shares on Windows

    Hi,
    Does anybody know how to hide the default file shares created by SAP NW 04 in windows?
    In other words: what I'm trying to accomplish is renaming the sapmnt share and saploc share (both on the E:\usr\sap\ folder) to sapmnt$ and saploc$.
    I know how to do the Windows part, but where and how do I configure the SAP Web AS part?
    Regards,
    Steven Dijkman

    Hi guys,
    Thanks for all the feedback.  However, this still does not fully work.
    I tried hiding the folder but it in fact only hides the folder, not the share itself. I'm trying to do the opposite, hiding the share (making it an administrative one) whilst not hiding the folder. With the folder hidden, the startup framework (NW 04 EP6 SP12) does not work.
    By the way: checking / tightening access is not an option: security architects dictate what needs to happen here and unless I have VERY good reasons I should comply to what they say: change saploc to saploc$ and change sapmnt to sapmnt$.
    If anybody has anymore thoughts, I'd be very interested.
    Cheers,
    Steven Dijkman

  • Just downloaded Firefox 5.0. Now, whenever I try to download a file, the Download Window opens, I see the progress of the file downloading, but then it disappears. The Downloads Window is blank. I can't find the downloaded file anywhere on my computer.

    I cleared the list of downloaded files in the Download Window. Now the window is blank, even though I have downloaded several files.

  • Registering Plugins/Extensions for All Users on Windows 7

    I am deploying firefox in a shared desktop environment and they all require the same firefox extensions.
    I have downloaded the .xpi files and when I install them it only appears for me and not for the other users on the PC.
    I need to be able to install these extensions once and have them available to all users on that PC.
    I tried the -install-global-extensions command, but looks like that was removed from Firefox 10. Does anyone have any suggestions to my problem?
    thanks!

  • New to Firefox. How do I save file from download window?

    I choose "save file." Get download window. Thereupon right click options are open and remove. I don't want to open.

    BEWARE!!! I, too, downloaded the toolbar, and shortly after, I realized I had been scammed.I immediately ran a scan on my computer after uninstalling the toolbar and found 4 infected files. I also reported the perpetrator to craigslist, so hopefully these people can be stopped!

  • How to set permissions for files created by Windows on OS 10.8 volume

    I am in process of upgrading from an iMac with OS 10.6 to an iMac with OS 10.8.  In my office network, I store all files on my iMac and let the Windows PCs act as workstations to read/write onto the Mac.  (It's simpler to have all files centralized in one location, and only have to be concerned about backing up one volume.)
    When I had OS 10.4 and OS 10.6 any newly created file saved by the Windows PCs onto the Mac could be opened by the Mac.
    But with OS 10.8, I can not open newly created files from Windows.  The file permissions for the newly created files from the Windows PCs are: 
         PCUser = read/write;  Everyone = no access.
    What do I need to do so that newly created files from the Windows PC (currently Windows 7) can be opened by the Mac, without having to use Get Info to reset the permissions each time?

    You could try adding this Access Control Entry (ACE) to the folders you let them save to:
    sudo chmod -R +a "accountinggroup allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Path/to/topmost/folder
    You first need to create a group for all the sharing people you want to have access to that folder, if you don't already have one. In the example, "accountinggroup" is the group, so change that to whatever you want to use.
    The ACE allows them full access to the files in the folders. If you want to limit that, remove the option (such as delete).
    You create Groups in Users & Groups System Preference just like creating a new user. Just change the account type to Group.
    If you want a GUI to do the settings, try Sandbox.  It's got a few glitches in the Interface, but it seems to write the ACL correctly. One glitch is selecting the Group or User. I had just a list of Continuing in the popup menu. I typed in the Group name I wanted and it worked. Some errors pop up as you traverse the file hierarchy, but you can dismiss them.
    Here is an old hint, which gives a little background, and some other options: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090219133314985
    The Server tools would allow you to set this up more easily, but if this is all you need as the server, I don't know if it is worth it.

  • Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook (OBEO) Download

    Where can I download the Oracle Beehive Extensions for Outlook (OBEO) . Please send me the link.

    OBEO is part of the server download. Normally, it is deployed to the clients only from an installed Beehive server, and updated automatically, too. There are instructions to do a manual install in "lock down environments", see here.

  • Hide extension in file name input field when saving?

    A few days ago in Photoshop CS6 I started automatically getting an extension in the file name input field.
    Previously, when I did a "save as" I got, for example "image01."
    A few days ago I started getting "image01.jpg."
    I have another installation of CS6 on another desktop and on that one I get simply "image01." That's the way is had been on this machine.
    This has nothing to do with file/folder options in Windows Explorer. I don't see extension names anywhere but in the Photoshop 'save as' input field.
    It is highly annoying because I process a lot of images and having to get rid of the ".jpg" wastes time.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    dg

    Thanks, everyone for your replies. Perhaps I did not explain this clearly.
    This change I experienced has nothing to do with Windows Explorer settings.
    Here's what the input looks like on my secondary machine and how Photoshop behaved on my primary machine until a few days ago:
    All that is shown is the file name: No extension.
    Here's what I'm getting now:
    Suddenly Photoshop in adding ".jpg" to the end of the file name. This happens in both 64 bit (my default) and 32 bit (I never use it but tested i)t.
    I have not changed anything yet, but could this be a Photoshop preferences issue as gener7 suggested? I made no changes to my Photoshop installation prior to this starting to happen.
    As an aside. I'm surprised people like having the extension in the file name. I have never found that to be necessary at all, since Windows Explorer shows the file type right in the window:
    And if you select an image it's also shown on the lower left:
    I use primarily .jpgs, .tiffs, and CR2 files and even without looking at the examples above, the icon alone tells me what kind of file it is.

  • Scroll bar no longer works in iTunes for Mac in Downloads window

    I have a strange issue.
    When I look at my list of downloads in iTunes (I have 100+ active - lots of podcasts for family) the vertical scroll bar appears but it does not work.  I cannot use the arrows at bottom nor can I click in scroll bar or drag window.  I am only able to use my magic mouse to move up and down in the window.
    This does _not_ happen in other windows.  Have looked through dozens of posts but can't find a fix.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Last week I was trying to dj with iTunes at a party and this was the reason I dumped iTunes for Spotify. No scrollbar when browsing through your collection, what were they thinking.. Solution anyone?

  • Very long search times from an IMac running 10.6.7 Snow Leopard when searching for files on a windows 2003 server

    The issue is as follows:
    The Imac is connected to the  windows 2003 server via SMB type connection.
    There are four sub folders in the main directory. We go to one of the sub folders in this case Server.
    We go to search window and type the file name that we want to search such as test .
    The choices selected for search parameters are Server for location and contains (same results if picked by file name)
    Search takes roughly 6 minutes before it returns the result.
    If we do the same search on the old Mac Server it will take 15 seconds to complete using same search parameters.
    Any ideas on how to speed up search times to the Windows 2003 Server? I have tried going to finder preferences and removing the sharing section. That did not help.

    Okay, I've....
    1) Reinstalled XE, to start from scratch
    2) Went in to SQL*Plus, did a "create pfile from spfile;"
    3) Shutdown the database
    4) Started it up in MOUNT mode
    5) Ran NID, to change the database name from 'XE' to 'CTXMGMT'
    6) Shutdown the database again
    7) Edited the pfile to change the database name (i.e. "db_name='CTXMGMT'")
    8) Started up the database
    And that worked! So that's good... but now my question is:
    How do I change the SID for the database? Currently, the instance name for the database is still 'XE'....
    SQL> select instance_name
    2 from v$instance;
    INSTANCE_NAME
    xe
    I'd like it so a connection could be made to the database with the tnsnames.ora file looking like this:
    CTXMGMT =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = rodin)(Port = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = CTXMGMT))
    Could someone explain how to get the database to this state? Thanks.

  • Permissions for file sharing to Windows users

    Greetings, I would be very pleased if someone could help me with file sharing permissions for Windows users of a Mac mini file server running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 (not server).
    I have a folder in my root directory, lets call it Project, that holds a series of 10 sub folders, say 1 through 10. Some of my users I wish to have read/write access to the whole Project directory, and, having enabled file sharing in System Preferences (and SMB for Windows), I did cmd to get info on the Project folder, ticked sharing, added the users (whose user accounts I had replicated on the Mac from their Windows machines), gave them read/write access, and then was able to map a drive to Project in their machines. All good so far, notwithstanding an hour tussle with a Vista laptop . The other user 'groups' were set the following permissions: me - read/write; Admin - read/write; Everyone - no access; which seemed sensible.
    Then, when I wanted to only share say sub folders 4, 5 and 6 with other users, who will not have access to the whole Project directory, things were not as straight forward. I followed the same procedure as above, but for the particular sub folders. However, I think they are only able to see them if I provide read or read/write access for Everyone to the parent Project directory. This of course then lets them at least see all the other folders I do not want to share with them. I don't seem to be able to remove the Everyone group from the Project directory, which occurred to me might resolve this.
    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    "On the way down, it seems to me that you still can prevent that user from using folders that he or she is not supposed to use by setting appropriate permissions."
    I don't think this is the case. If I allow someone read & write access to a folder because they need to have read & write access to two of three subfolders, I cannot deny them (at least) read access to the third folder.
    In respect of a particular folder:
    1. You can only assign read; read & write; or write (drop box) to an individual user; and
    2. You can only assign No Access to everyone.
    Do I need to use Snow Leopard Server to be able to assign No Access to a particular folder for an individual user?

  • Error whil re-playing the coded ui test cases for internet explorer download window

    Hi,
    I have to create a test automation project which opens the IE and downloads file.
    I have recorded all the steps to download the file to local folder.
    My requirement is I need to download the file to a specific folder and compare those files.
    When I tried to replay the recorded step I am getting error while changing the folder location.
    I can change the file name dynamically but cant change the folder path as the click event of address bar fails.
    I have recorded below steps
    Click on Save drop down
    Click on Save As
    Pop up opens as shown
    I can change the file name at run tims by passing the file name as parameter and it is accepting
    but when I try to change the address it thorws error stating could not find the control with given search properties. I have to pass the folder path as parameter to the test case.
    Please help me in resolving this error.

    Hi Meenakshi Nagpal,
    >>When I tried to replay the recorded step I am getting error while changing the folder location.
    According to your description, could you please tell me how you record these UI actions for coded UI test? Is it handing code or using coded UI test Builder?
    Could you please tell me if you are recording these actions and then you change the folder location or you change the folder location by handing code after you finished these actions recording and then get the error?
    About your issue, I tried to download file to a specific folder using coded UI test builder, I found that it can playback successfully.
    If you are hand coding your coded UI test, I suggest that you can try to record these steps using Coded UI Test Builder. Then
    generate the code and then try to playback check if you can download the file into the
    specific folder.
    In addition, about this error: could not find the control with given search properties. I doubt that the target control did not be found by the searchproperties.
    So I suggest you can try to add more searchproperties for the target control check this issue again.
    I suggest you can also use DrawHighlight Method to check if the correct control is found
    before you perform actions on the target control.
    I find a blog about how to troubleshooting Record and Playback issues in Coded UI Test, you can refer it.
