How to deactivate Photoshop CS4 as the default browser for image

I wanted to deactivate Photoshop CS4 as the default browser for image. Now everytime when i want to open BMP(bitmap) file it always use photoshop CS4 to open the file. It takes a longer time to load the bitmap picture when using photoshop CS4 to open.
Can anybody help!
thank you

Mylenium is implying just that.  There's a checkbox that reads something like [ ] Always Use This Program to Open This File Type.
I do know that in Photoshop CS5 in Bridge there's a preference dialog that allows you to set file associations as well...  I'm not where I can test CS4 at the moment.  There may be such a dialog also in Bridge CS4.  Open Bridge, choose Edit - Preferences - File Associations if that subcategory exists, then find your file type and change the association.
Yet a third possibility is that if you have a viewer program like IrfanView that you'd like to associate with the file type, then the viewer program likely offers a menu through which you can indicate you want that program assocated with particular file type(s).  I have instructed IrfanView to make itself the viewer for all Image types, and that works well.

  • How do you invoke the default browser for Unix/OSX

    Does anyone know how to programmatically display the contents of a URL in the default browser for a Unix system? I found a javaworld article on doing this using Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd). The article gives the cmd string for invoking the default browser in Windows, and for invoking the Netscape browser in Unix.
    This can easily be extended to invoke any known browser executable in a known path on a Unix system; but I'd like to invoke the default browser without knowing what or where it is. I'm specifically targetting Mac/OSX, but any Unix solution is worth trying.
    Is there a Unix command for launching the default browser to display the contents of a given URL? Or is there an alternative approach, rather than invoking Runtime.exec()?
    -Mark

    After extensive google searching, I came across a partial solution. This code detects the default browser on a Mac, and provides an elegant solution for trying standard browsers in turn for other Unix systems. I tested it on WIndows XP and Mac OSX 3.9, and it detected the default browser each time. A suped up version of this tool is available as a SourceForge project. You can find it here:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/browserlaunch2/
    Here's the simplified code:
    //  Bare Bones Browser Launch                          //
    //  Version 1.5                                        //
    //  December 10, 2005                                  //
    //  Supports: Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, Unix, Windows XP    //
    //  Example Usage:                                     //
    //     String url = "http://www.centerkey.com/";       //
    //     BareBonesBrowserLaunch.openURL(url);            //
    //  Public Domain Software -- Free to Use as You Like  //
    import java.lang.reflect.Method;
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
    public class BareBonesBrowserLaunch {
       private static final String errMsg = "Error attempting to launch web browser";
       public static void openURL(String url) {
          String osName = System.getProperty("os.name");
          try {
             if (osName.startsWith("Mac OS")) {
                Class fileMgr = Class.forName("com.apple.eio.FileManager");
                Method openURL = fileMgr.getDeclaredMethod("openURL",
                   new Class[] {String.class});
                openURL.invoke(null, new Object[] {url});
             else if (osName.startsWith("Windows"))
                Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + url);
             else { //assume Unix or Linux

                   if (Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
                         new String[] {"which", browsers[count]}).waitFor() == 0)
                      browser = browsers[count];

  • Setting Photoshop CC as the default program for all images?

    Where do I find Preferences dialog?

    There are two levels: The OS (Mac Finder or Windows Explorer) and Bridge.
    In the case of jpegs on my Mac, I open them in Preview at the OS level.
    If I want them to open in Photoshop, I open Bridge CC, and then double-click on the thumbnails there, which opens them in Photoshop.
    Photoshop is usually the default editor for Bridge.

  • How to open a URL in the default browser via CC HTML Extension?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to open a link via the default browser in a HTML Extension for Photoshop CC built with Extension Builder 3.
    With the initial example the "/indext.html" it look like this:
    <li><button class="default" id="btn_PHXS" onClick="onClickButton('PHXS')" disabled="true">Run ps code</button></li>
    and I changed the code from "/ext.js" to:
    ...function onClickButton(ppid) {    var csInterface = new CSInterface();    csInterface.openURLInDefaultBrowser('http://www.adobe.com');}...
    This is what the "/lib/CSInterface-4.0.0.js" looks like:
    * Opens a page in the default system browser.
    * @param url   The URL of the page to open. Must use HTTP or HTTPS protocol.
    * @return One of these error codes:\n
    *      <ul>\n
    *          <li>NO_ERROR - 0</li>\n
    *          <li>ERR_UNKNOWN - 1</li>\n
    *          <li>ERR_INVALID_PARAMS - 2</li>\n
    *          <li>ERR_INVALID_URL - 201</li>\n
    *      </ul>\n
    CSInterface.prototype.openURLInDefaultBrowser = function(url)
        return cep.util.openURLInDefaultBrowser(url);
    Since "util" doesn't seem to be defined  I get the message:
    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'openURLInDefaultBrowser' of undefined
    Is the something missing?

    Hi Franklin,
    Apologies for the delay but I have been trying to determine why this API is not been working. I have since discovered that, although this API is documented in the JS library, the behaviour has yet to be implemented into Photoshop CC. Offline I will try to determine why this API was included in the library when it was not ready but for the meantime, if you would like to open a browser, here is a workaround:
    Instead of using:
    //(new CSInterface).openURLInDefaultBrowser("http://www.adobe.com")
    // Use the createProcess API to open a browser. The following shows a workflow in Windows to open Internet Explorer.  
    var csInterface = new CSInterface();
    var rootDir = "/";
    var isWindows = window.navigator.platform.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1;
    if (isWindows) {
                        rootDir = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.COMMON_FILES).substring(0, 3);
    var processPath = "/usr/bin/open";
      if (isWindows) {
        processPath = rootDir + "Windows/explorer.exe";
    var url = "http://www.adobe.com";
    window.cep.process.createProcess(processPath, url);
    Apologies for this inconvenience but we promise to keep you informed when openURLInDefaultBrowser API is fully supported.
    Kind regards,
    Lea

  • How to make Firefox the default browser for Hotmail

    I recently uninstalled Safari because I want to use Firefox as my default browser. Previously when I click the Mail button in Windows Live Messenger, the mac would automatically open my hotmail in Safari. Now that I have uninstalled it, when I click on the Mail button, it opens up with TextEdit. How do I make it open with Firefox?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    OK I'll post there also but I'm aware of the preferences section in Safari... thing is, when I choose to make Firefox the default browser, it resets back to Safari when I turn off the computer and turn it back on. Everytime. And it does my head in
    I heard of a program called More Internet that I heard could help slove the problem but I can't understand how to use it, nor is there any forum or any way to contact anyone who knows. It's driving me up the wall.
    So I'm hoping there's another way that someone in the world knows.

  • How can I opt out on the default setting for a split window in Firefox 3.6.12 ?

    Since I upgraded to Firefox 3.6.12, the page opens up with two vertically divided panes. Each pane displays a different bookmark. The left pane is generally only about an inch wide and can only be expanded to about 3 inches wide. In that mode, it is pretty much useless and only provides a distraction. How can I opt out on what appears to be the default setting for a split window with two vertical panes.
    At this point, I am discontinuing using Firefox in favor of Safari because of this change in the default window.

    Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.
    You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).
    In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
    Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.

  • How to make a subscription use the default value for a parameter

    Hi everyone,
    I need to use the CreateSubscription method and have this new subscription use a default value for certain parameter. How can I do this?

    Hi Marianne,
    I have to create the subscription programatically, which is different from what you mention. To further clarify my challenge:
    I have three parameters in a report: date-interval (string), start-date (date), end-date (date). If the user selects for example "last week" as the date-interval, the DEFAULT values for the other two are as follows:
    Code Snippet
    start-date=DateSerial(Year(Today),Month(Today),Day(Today)-Weekday(Today)-6)
    end-date=DateSerial(Year(Today),Month(Today),Day(Today)-Weekday(Today)-1)
    The user can then select intervals like "today", "yestarday", "this month" etc, and the other two parameters are calculated based on that date-interval parameter. Now, If I programatically create a subscription to a report that contains these three parameters and set a value of "last week" for the date-interval parameter, the subscription stores the fixed days (say september 10 to september 16) producing a report of the same week every time the subscription is run and not updating the correct interval to LAST-WEEK!. What should I put as the value for start-date and end-date when I create the subscription to have these two params get the DEFAULT calculated value based on the third param date-interval?
    Hope to have been more clear now.

  • How to change the default browser for "Search in Google" pop-up menu?

    This issue has come up for the last three OS X releases, at least, and it's still here for Lion.
    I'm in Apple Mail and select some text. I want to search on the term using Google. Right-click brings up the context menu with "Search in Google." This inevitably results in Safari opening for the search.
    Chrome is definitely set as my default browser. Clicking links in email messages brings them up in the proper browser. "Search in Google" does not. Wherever this context menu item is selected (Mail, TextEdit, etc.) it opens Safari instead of the default browser.
    As far as I'm concerned, that makes the context menu item useless, since I do not use Safari.
    Has anyone figured out a workaround?
    Has anyone in the OS X team at Apple paid attention to this issue? It is not new.

    This post helped me.
    https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=147510
    Basically, the "Search in Google" extension is from Safari and it can be disabled in System Preferences.
    System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Services -> Searching and unchecking "Search with Google"
    It worked for me and I also disabled a few other right-click options that I never use.

  • How do I set firefox as the default browser in Windows Server 2012 Group Policy Editor?

    Hello, I am unable to set firefox as the default browser despite multiple different attempts to do so using group policy.
    I have:
    - Set a registry command (targeted at 32/64 via a WMI query) to reset the opening command as shown below:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -osint -url "%1"
    - Set a powershell logon script to run (that does run):
    firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser
    Despite setting the above it seems the client computers browsers are not affected by the settings above. When the script runs or if I run the command above a UAC window pops up and requests that I accept the command (for the setDefaultBrowser) but even if I click yes as an administrator it does nothing.
    Since GPO in 2012 has changed perhaps there is something that I am missing? Do I need to somehow disable Windows Internet Explorer from achieving default browser status?
    Please do not reply if you will suggest that I use Internet Explorer Maintenance (since this function in GPO has been disabled since IE10)
    My DC is Server 2012, my client computers are Win7 32/64.

    The above reply does not take into account that I am trying to use GROUP POLICY EDITOR to make it the default browser.

  • How do I UNSET Firefox as the default browser?

    When asked I set Firefox as the default browser. I would like to UNset this setting, but that option does not seem to be in the preferences. Where is that option hiding?

    You do that by setting another browser as the default browser and make sure that Firefox doesn't ask.

    If you're looking to test Flash files you've authored, then you'll need the Projector, but if you're just looking for a good player for FLV and F4V, then you should use VLC Media Player. http://www.videolan.org/

  • How do you make console apps the default application for a file type?

    I have a console movie player, mplayer, that I like a lot. I've compiled it from source on my intel core2 macbook pro and it works fine. There is no gui, but to play movie files you open up a terminal and type the command mplayer /path/to/file. I would like mplayer to play a movie file automatically when I double click on the file, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I tried setting it in the file info dialogue, but when I go to the path of the binary I want, it is not selected. How can I set a console app as my default application for my file type?

    there is a GUI mplayer for OS X. why don't you use it instead of the command line one?
    if you insist on using the command line mplayer then the only way to do this is to put a GUI wrapper on it. this can be done with automator or apple script for example. but really, why don't you just use the GUI mplayer?

  • Please Help! How do i make MS OFFICE the default programs for opening files

    Hey,
    Someone please tell me how to make MS OFFICE the default for opening up excel, word and pp files....Ever since i migrated all my stuff to my new 24in everything opens up in iwork instead of office, which is really annoying.
    Thanks in advance,
    JW

    Hi skymedic: Quite easy to set the default program actually. Find a file you need to open, single click. then Right Click and select "Get Info". When this window opens, select the program to be used then click "Change All'. Please note you will need to do this for all file types you want to open with Office. EG: .DOC .PPS .PPT .XLS etc..
    Good Luck

  • How do I make Firefox 4 the default browser? Whenever I open a link from email, it opens in the older version of Firefox.

    I followed the installation instructions for Firefox 4, after I had the earlier version. Whenever I open a link from email or other programs, it opens in the earlier version of Firefox, not Firefox 4.

    You'll need to get the Actions dialog to appear and check the use as default action at the bottom of the list. One of the common ways to get this to appear is to follow a link from an email program or a soical network app like Facebook or Twitter.

  • How to open a file in the default application for it directly from QuickLook?

    Is there a way to issue an Open command straight from QuickLook?
    Problem:
    I have a directory containing symlinks to the PDF files I usually refer to. I cannot copy the files locally and I must use symlinks.
    When I need to open one of the files, I can't rely on Finder icon previews as these do not show for symlinks (I think that's absurd, don't you? Is there any reason why they would not?)
    Not knowing how to pick the file I am interested in, I select them all and OPTION+SPACE QuickLook them. Immediately following OPTION+SPACE I press COMMAND+ENTER and finally see them all tiled across the screen (notice: COMMAND+ENTER is not bound in Finder as far as I can see, why not allow users to press that directly?)
    Here's the problem:
    Once I choose the file I want, with the mouse of the arrow keys, I don't see how I could open just that file in the owning application (say: Adobe Reader).
    That, to me, is dumbfounding. COMMAND+O opens ALL files I selected to begin with but I think QuickLook should allow for opening the file currently being previewed with an UI element or a keystroke, shouldn't it?
    It is so strange that it almost can't be, maybe I am just missing the obvious... in that case I apologise.  Feel free to report this to Apple if you think they can work on this.
    For the record, it's the 29th of Aug 2012 and I am on 10.6.8.

    Small update.
    I created a database with a western european characterset We8MSWIn1252
    If I use utl_file to write out the code on the database server it gets produced correctly in Ascii format with the accented charcacters.
    As soon as I try and write out the code using owa_util.Mime_header and htp.p the code is written in UTF8 format.
    I did try and write out the header specifying a western european characterset but it seems that if it encounters an accented character it automatically switches to utf-8 mode. If there are no accented charcters the file is produced in ascii format.
    Really stumped on this one.
