How Can I set QT to open ALL files in Full Screen Automatically?

Am I missing something obvious here, or is this a major option missing in preferences of QT? I know that you can set this option for EACH movie in the Presentation tab in the movie's Properties, but I have 1000's of clips on my computer. I just want EVERY movie to automatically open up in full screen mode. This seems like it should be an obvious universal option for QT rather than handled individually for each file (with the option to over ride it per file if you wish for some reason).
Plus setting the option per file is not even practical, because in order to save that option in a file that is not .mov file QT wants to convert it to .mov and save copy of the file...

I am still pretty sure, say 95%, (do not recall perfectly - to many things on my mind... hihi) that the settings in Quicktime in the Preferences DID work before.
QT Player "Preference" settings only control how the content is displayed in the "Full Screen" mode -- not how it is activated. Pop-up options include:
1) Half Size,
2) Actual Size,
3) Double Size,
4) Fit to Screen,
5) Fill Screen,
6) Panoramic, or
7) Current Size
The options are available individually for "widescreen", "standard", or "other" aspect movie formats. The only other method of I can think of using the QT Player to automatically open in the the "Full Screen" presentation mode would be using a QTL file linked to your original source file but it setting the "Full Screen" option is "boring" for you, then creating QTL files would be even more so.

  • ITunes tells me "Could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  I can locate it and all my other music, but can only open one song at a time.  How do I set it to open all my music whenever I want it?

    I just spent several hours dealing with this when switching to a new PC. It was extremely frustrating as I knew my files were on my external HD but no matter how many times I copied my old iTunes folder over the files were still missing...because dummy me had forgotten to "unhide folders" on my new PC and my old files were actually stored in a hidden folder created long long ago.
    This is how I did it on Windows 7 with iTunes 10
    1. Look in iTunes Advanced Preferences to see where iTunes is saving files. (Edit, Preferences, Advanced)
         Example: C:/Users/Woildbill/My Music/iTunes/Music
    2. Ensure you are able to see hidden files - Control Panel, Folder Option, View, Show Hidden Files
    3. Use Your Computer's Search Function to Locate the Missing File (Start, Search, type name of song - I started my search in "My Music" folder but be sure to expand to entire Computer if not found right away)
    4. In Search Results, right-click found folder and select properties. This will tell you where the file is actually stored.
    5. Use Windows Explorer (right-click start) to navigate to the location of the file. It is likley your other missing files are in the same location.
    6. In Windows Explorer, copy the newly located files to the iTumes location from Step 1 and everything should work again.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can I set Finder to open all folders so I can see all files always

    Is there a way to set Finder to open all files when I click on say "Documents" or "Music" or whichever? As it is set I have to click on every plus sign within a folder or folders themselves to see what is inside, and, for example, in Music, it means hundreds of folders where the individual songs reside.
    Thank you.
    Roxy

    Actually, there is a way to do this on a folder by folder basis: for instance, if you have your home folder open and in list view, if you hold down the option key and click on the arrow in front of the Documents folder, it will open, and every single sub-folder and sub-sub-folder will also open. This produces a pretty unwieldy window, and I can never remember the key combo to get them to all close up again (I'm sure there is one.....), but it does work.
    Francine
    PS--It seems simply clicking the arrow to close the Docs folder does sort it out so a normal click produces a non-opened state of the sub-folders.

  • How can I set up an external monitor to extend my screen in windows 7 bootcamp?

    How can I set up an external monitor to extend my screen in windows 7 bootcamp?  I have updated bootcamp to the latest version.  The monitor I have works while I am using Mac OS X. While in bootcamp the monitor is dectected and I am able to select the settings and displays however the external monitor remains alseep.  I hooked it up using a mini display port to VGA adapter.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    On your Windows desktop right click and select Screen resolution from the menu. You should see a window like this:
    Make sure you select Extend and then set your resolutions for each monitor.
    If this does not work for you try asking on a Windows forum about extending displays to a second monitor.

  • How can I set Safari to open multiple tabs when I open Safari?

    I was able to set multiple tabs to open when I open Safari in the past. However, I do not know how to do so now.
    Help!

    Hello sgertel,
    It sounds like you are asking about the OS X feature called Resume to have previous opened windows re-open when you launch Safari.
    Automatically re-open windows, apps, and documents on your Mac - Apple Support
    OS X Lion v10.7 and later include Resume, a feature that lets you re-open apps in the same state they were in when you last left them. For example, when you quit Safari, any webpages you're viewing are fully restored the next time you open Safari. 
    Is this not working for you?  Another thing I use is common folders in the Favorites bar where I can "Open in Tabs" at the bottom of the list.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • How can I set pdfs to open in a new tab instead of prompting firefox to open them in Adobe itself?

    I use a website with many links to pdfs. In Windows XP (probably an older version of firefox) I could right click on the link to open a new tab, and the pdf would open in the new tab. In Windows 7 (and updated firefox) when I right click to open a new tab, a new blank tab opens and Adobe starts up displaying the document in a new Adobe window. How can I change the settings to have pdfs open within the new tab (without opening Adobe)?

    Tools -> Options -> Applications Tab
    Under Content Type find Adobe
    Under Action, Left click and select "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)"
    That should do it!

  • How can I stop Firefox from opening (to "File Not Found") when opening my Opera browser?

    Ever since I installed Opera 10.61 on my new computer (Windows 7 Ultimate operating system), whenever I open Opera, Firefox opens one second later with the following error message:
    '''File not found '''
    Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/Nasheed/AppData/Local/Opera/Opera/temporary_downloads/client-en.xml.
    * Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
    * Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
    TRY AGAIN.
    <nowiki>****************************************************</nowiki><br />
    This happens EVERY TIME I OPEN THE OPERA BROWSER. How can I stop this from happening? I'm stumped.
    [EXTRA INFO - I was unable to enable Firefox to access my previous profile on the new computer (despite putting the old profile in the appropriate Mozilla Firefox folder. So, there are now two profiles in that location.
    After reading the answer to another forum member's question, I attempted to resolve the problem using Profile Manager, but I was unable to locate the Profile Manager. The Windows "Search" feature is not enabled on my new computer (nor can it be enabled from the Customize Start Menu options).]

    Thank you for your response, Cor-el.
    I had Opera set as my default browser since this began happening. I changed my default browser back to Firefox mainly because having Firefox open one or two seconds every time I open Opera was/is such a nuisance.
    I believe this problem began because I attempted to manually transfer the files from my old computer to the new one (via the backed up files in my external drive). I was unfamiliar with Windows 7 when I did this. Microsoft changed the file set up from what I had been used to in Windows XP. I used XP for six years before being exposed to Windows 7 (I never had Vista).
    I'm almost sure this problem has something to do with where I placed the application data when I was trying to reestablish the program set up on the new computer.

  • How do I set Elements to open jpeg files?

    I have been using Photoshop Elements to open, manage and fix my photo files. Since I installed an Adobe Reader update, the photo files and attachments try to open with Adobe Reader X, which only opens pdf files and can't open the jpeg photos. The only way I can open them now is by going to Elements and using the Open command. How can I reset Elements to it automatically opens photo files? I am using Windows XP. Thanks

    Ken,
    I went through all the avenues I know but couldn't come up with a Default Programs list on the Control Panel.  Would it be listed under some other heading?

  • How can I prevent Firefox from opening the file I create when I print a page with PDF Create! 5

    After I print a web page using PDF Create! 5, Firefox opens the file so i can view it. Before I print, I select print properties and disable "view resulting pdf". However, the file is always opened in Adobe Acrobat, although I believe I have Adobe Reader set as default. I do not want any file to open. This happens on my non-privileged accounts. On my privileged account, the file is not opened. I have removed Firefox profiles, re-installed Firefox, Reset Firefox in Help-Troubleshooting. PDF Create!5 print screen can only be viewed in a host program such as Firefox, Libre-office Writer, or any other program that prints. They do not open the file either.

    Thanks for your help. This is the Scansoft (Nuance) program. What I do not understand is why when I tell the print driver not to open the file with a privileged account, it obeys me. I am not sure where in the registry I would look for the information. I do not want to, but perhaps I should remove the Adobe Acrobat program (temporarily?) - then what would it do? Again, when I print from other programs - browsers, wordprocessors, etc - the file is not opened after printing, just with FireFox. I guess I can live with it, I have spent too much time already.

  • How can I create a array with all files from a directory

    How can I create a array of files or varchar with all files from a directory?

    I thought the example could be improved upon. I've posted a solution on my blog that doesn't require writing the directory list to a table. It simply returns it as a nested table of files as a SQL datatype. You can find it here:

  • Numbers: how can i set an alias to a file in icloud?

    Hi,
    I moved a table into the iCloud so I can sync it across my devices. That works just fine.
    BUT: Since I work with this file quite frequently, I would like to place an alias on my desktop. I am absolutely clueless on how to do this....any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Peter

    I think Jerry's suggestion is the best practice.  But if for some reason you don't like opening Numbers first and then opening the document, but always want to just click on an alias on the Desktop, then in Finder while holding down the option key you can Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers and find your document, create an alias, and drag the alias to the Desktop (ignoring the warning about removing the alias from iCloud).  Thereafter you can click the alias to open the document synced to iCloud.  It might be best to try this with a test document to make sure you really want that approach.

  • How can I get Firefox to open htm files?

    I have Firefox 3.6.13, and Windows XP. I can't open htm files. I went online, and followed all the directions for Changing the Default Program for a Specific File Extension in Windows XP, and see that Firefox is listed as the program that should open htm files, but I get a blank page when I try to open the file.

    Are that files that you have saved on your computer or web pages that you try to open?
    Are you opening the files with a double-click in Windows Explorer?
