How can i change the default application to vlc player for playing any videos on my macbook?

1. Control click the file you want to open.
2. Click Get Info.
3. Under open with, pick the App you want to be default.
4. Click Change All Button.
5. Confirm your decision.
You have to do this with every file that has a different extension. You can't change the default for every file with a different extension in a single operation.

How can i change the default application that Lion uses to open a document?

how can i change the default application that Lion uses to open a document?

Right-click on the document, select Get Info... In the lower half of the tall window that opens is a section labeled Open With (you may need to click on the disclosure triangle to see detail). Select from the pop-up list which app should open this document. If you want that to become the default condition, click on the Change All... button.

How can I change the default application for a content type?

Running a version of Linux, the default application for PDF files is "Use Document Viewer (default)", which appears to be /usr/bin/evince. I'd much prefer to use /usr/bin/okular; how can I change the default. This question is NOT about how to change the function that is automatically applied when I access a link, in this case "Preview in Firefox", but rather to the default application that I can select when I download a file being viewed in Firefox's previewer.

This is real progress, a solution to the problem as posted. The command:
xdg-mime default okularApplication_pdf.desktop application/pdf
makes okular the default.
However when I added okular to the choices for applications in:
* Edit>Preferences>Applications>PDF
the popup box that appears when I click Download on the preview page changed. The pulldown menu that appears next to "Open with" used to have 3 entries:
# Document Viewer (default)
# Acroread
# Other
Now it has only 2:
# Okular (Default)
# Other
I'd like it to read
# Okular (Default)
# Acroread
# Other
How can I control the entries in this pulldown list?
Also, how can I make the default choice in the popup box be
* Open With <whatever> , rather than
* Save File ?

How can I change the default fill and stroke colors for new shapes?

As you can see in the following screen recording, after I change the stroke and fill color, all my subsequent rectangles are created respecting these new colors. But then when I delete all the rectangles, choose the rectangle shape tool once again, and start creating new rectangles, they start getting created with another color I had used some time ago (and I don't know how did it become the default color).
http://tinypic.com/r/64jrwp/6
So how can I change the defaults, so that the fill color is say #ddd, and the shape has no stroke at all?
Thanks.

When you have the shape tool selected you will see in the tool bar below - file edit etc a fill and stroke. This is where you can change the colours.
You can keep drawing your shapes like you did in the video but then select the rectangle and change the colour from this tool bar. The reason it changes will be because you changed the colours you were using (foreground / background) that display in the left side tool bar.

How can I change the default wording of scrolling component for datatable

Hi,
Is it possible to change the default wording (i.e. "previous n" and "next n") shown on scrolling component for datatable? how ?
I created a datatable based on a custom vector bean class. By default the count shown on scrolling component indicates number of rows (i.e. first 2 rows, next 2 rows). What I want is to show (if it is a 2X2 table) first 4 (items) and next 4 (items).
Any suggestion?

Not only can you set global values for each of the three columns, but you can also set unique column widths on a per community basis like this:
.ptCommunity-1234 .columnOne { width: 635px; border-right:1px solid #CCCCCC; padding-top: 10px; padding-right: 20px; }
.ptCommunity-1234 .columnTwo { width: 240px; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 8px;}
You can see here my community #1234 has a wide first column and a more narrow column two and even puts a little solid line between them.
It's all in the stylesheets on your imageserver at the path I mentioned earlier. Again, look at the experience definition object in your admin portal and look at the stylesheet name in the dropbox. The stylesheet name you see is mapped to the .css file using the community-themes.txt file in the same ...yadayada/common/public/css folder on the imageserver.
If you have, lets say, a mainstyle1-en.css that only has about a dozen lines dictating only the few items you mentioned before - then it has been stripped at one time because the default that comes w/ an original install is huge and a great starting point. It even has style tips and snippets in comment blocks to tutor you through its gargantuan variety of options.

How can I change the default application to open a filetype with to a terminal application?

I have recently installed mpv to get the best video playback for my mac, but I was wondering if there was a way to get video files to automatically open with mpv when they are double clicked instead of launching them through the terminal, the way you can do with applications.

You should only need the one "Run Shell Script" action. You do not need any other Automator actions.
You get to provide the /path/to/where/you/stored/mpv
If you need to provide additional command line arguments, then add them to the command line before the "$f"
Once you save this Automator as an Application, you can then use the Finder -> Get Info to associate your video files with your application as mentioned earlier.
Once you make the file type association for all video files with the same .type, then when you double click on a file it will be passed by argument to your Automator app as "$@", which the 'for' loop will then put into "$f" that gets substituted on the mpv command line.
If you select a group of videos, with the .type you have associated wth your Automator app, and then use Finder -> File -> Open, your Automator app will be inoked with each of those selected files passed via "$@". The 'for' loop will break apart "$@" into individual files that get passed to 'mpv' via the "$f" variable.
If you have different video .types and those different .types need different 'mpv' options, you could create a different Automator app for those .types that invoke 'mpv' with the needed options for those .types.
If all the different video .types can all use the same 'mpv' command line, you can associate as many different .types with your one Automator app via the Finder -> Get Info -> Open with -> mpv_automator_app, then click on "Change All"

How can I change the default driver to OracleXADataSource in JDeveloper

Hello,
How can I change the default oracle driver: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver to oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource in JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.0.2, Build JDEVADF_MAIN.BOXER_GENERIC_090328.0229.5205.
If I modify the file connections.xml from jdeveloper\system\system11.1.1.0.31.52.05\o.jdevimpl.rescat2\connections in the sense that I change the driver class, then in JDeveloper when I test my connection I have this problem: Test failed: oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource cannot be cast to java.sql.Driver
Why do I need this XA version of the oracle driver? Well I tried, from a book to reproduce the model of an application: entities, stateless and stateful session beans, mdb, web services and a client to test one part of the model.
And because of the JMS server I need an XA driver.
I deployed to the integrated wls 10.3 and when I test my client, if I use the default driver for the connection the an error message appears tell me either to emulate two-phase commit or to use XA driver.
My application works very well, if I configured in the console of the integrated wls 10.3 a datasource with the same name as my ide/application connection that has for the Driver Class Name: oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource in the Connection Pool tab.
Thank you.

Open DIsk Utility and in the toolbar select Disk Image. The file selector will open and you'll have to do three things: 1) just as with any file, name it and point the file selector to where you want it to be saved, 2) near the bottom you'll see name - type iWork 2013 and 3) below that select the image size. Click on size, choose custom and type 1500 MB then click on the Create button.
Some time will pass and then you'll see an external disk pop up on your desktop and/or the Finder window sidebar. Drag the three programs into it and eject it like any other external disk. Now delete the programs from your applications window.
Where ever it was you pointed the file selector to you'll see the file you created. Double click on it and the disk image will mount again.

:-) How can we change the default file path for Bank file ( dmee ) ?

Hi All,
We encounter a problem.
Electronic bank file ( created after a F110 run ) are created, in an automatic way to the DIR_TEMP directory. ( On the SAP server )
How can we change the default file path for Bank files ( dmee ) ?
We'd like to specify another path.
Thx for your help.
Erwan

Hello,
Make sure that you have created the directory in transaction code AL11 with the help of basis consultants.
You can link your PC directory to the application server.
You can maintain the path whether your file needs to get saved in OBPM4 against your DMEE structure example GB_BACS etc.
If you do not maintain any path in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory. If you give the directory path name in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to that directory with numbers 0001, 0002, 0003 etc till it reaches 9999 and reset from the beginning.
If you give the path as well as file name as ABCD, then the file gets generated to that directory folder with ABCD0001, ABCD0002, ABCD0003 etc. till it reaches ABCD9999 and reset from the beginning.
Hope this solves your problem.
Regards,
Ravi

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

Question
When I opt to "download this as a file" from my email account, Firefox defaults to notepad to open the file. How can I change the default to MS Word?

Is FF downloading the file as a .txt file? If so, go to "Folder Options" in the windows control panel. Click on the "File Types" tab. Scroll down until you reach the TXT file extension. Look to see what that extension opens with (lower part of panel). It probably shows notepad. Click on the <Change> button. Scroll down until you find "Microsoft Word." Select it and click the <OK> button. That should show the TXT extension is now associated with Microsoft Word. Click the <Close> button at the bottom of the panel.
If FF is downloading the file as any other type, use the same process as above except look for the corresponding extension instead. If the extension is not listed click on the <New> button and create an association using the extension in the file name and then associate it with MS Word.
