How to make eog default instead of GIMP?

After I installed GIMP, whenever I open an image file, from firefox download window, or nautilus, it is opened by GIMP, but I need to change the default to EOG, I checked /usr/share/applications/gimp.deskop eog.desktop, both have several image type in mime.. section, can I just delete gimp.desktop 's mime section to make it work?
Thanks!

Thanks a lot! I just find another solution, edit /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache as root and reorder mime type such like:
audio/x-wav=mplayer.desktop;totem.desktop
into:
audio/x-wav=totem.desktop;mplayer.desktop
so the first preferred application used to open wav file is totem instead of mplayer

How to make Viewer default (again)?

I upgraded Adobe Reader and every time it opens it asks me doe I want it to be my default viewer for PDFs. I always clicked NO but just recently clicked YES by mistake. Now it opens every time to see PDFs.
I don't really like it, liked Apple Viewer better. How can I make it default again?
Thank you,
Zack

I have nearly the same issue: Acrobat always asks if I want it to be my default viewer. After many dozens of times saying "no," I finally accidentally clicked "yes." (It also has a checkbox called "Don't sk this again," but it still asks every time).
Anyway, I also want to use Preview as the default, and I can use the Get Info trick, but there's a rub: Before Acrobat did this, there were certain pdf files that I wanted opened in Acrobat, and not Preview. They had the Acrobat icon, not the preview one. If I do the Get Info trick, I have a feeling that they will be changed to open in Preview instead of Acrobat. So my questions are
1) Will this actually happen?
2) Where is the info stored that makes it possible for some pdfs to be opened with one app and other pdfs to be opened with another app?
3) When I accidentally let Acrobat change the default, is this identical to having chosen Get Info on a pdf file and selecting "Change All..." to Acrobat, or is it just changing some system-wide preference about which viewer should be the default—a preference that, I hope, can be changed back.

How to make the default tree row selection programatically

I have one use case where I am displaying the tree table based on some parameter which is just for filtering the table and display the part of hierarchy.
The problem here is I want to make a default selected row when the tree will be rendered to UI based on the primary key(that is the input parameter).
can you please tell me how to do this.I am using jdev 11g.
thanks,
Harsh

Hi,
for this you need to know where in the path the PK is. If e.g. the PK is for a second level node then you need to pass the first level node PK as well. Nodes in a tree are defined as ArrayLists. So unfortunately your question doesn't provide enough information

How to make ffox default Mac brwsr. Currently can only make Safari default; per ffox help.

Just want to make ffox default; ff help only discusses making Safari default browser. Your cookbook questions are not very applicable to this simple problem

If doing it from within Firefox (see [[How to make Firefox the default browser]] ), then you can do it through Safari. See [[Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work]]

Answer to how to make PSE12 default for jpgs

Earlier I asked for help in how to make PSE12 the default program to open jpg files. I wasn't able to get my problem resolved. Until today. I contacted Adobe Tech Support.
You need to locate your file. Mine is at C/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 12/PhotoshopElementsEditor.
The Editor file did not have an extension name and needed to be renamed to PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe.
As soon as I did that, I was able to make it the default.
Your Adobe program may be in a different place, but the steps would be the same.
Good luck! Thanks to Adobe Tech Support.

How to make a default value by using dynamic actions

Hi,
       I want to default a field nationality in infotype 0002 as a great britan, using dynamic actions but unable to go ahead. Any help regarding this really appreciate.
Regards
Niranjan

Hi,
I need some guidance around creating dynamic action with default value, Please guide me through.
I am aware I can set default values for new infotype, but I need to set default value for same infotype, let me explain the scenario.
Currently employee is on one pension scheme which is called NE1 and now we are moving this employee to CRESP Pension Scheme.
When employee is in NE1, his IT0071 has got a opt in field with a flag on, when the same employee is moved from NE1 pension scheme to CRESP Pension scheme, his new IT0071 record should have the same opt in field with a flag on, I want it to set this flag automatically using dynamic action. I dont want to update this field manually, while moving from NE1 to CRESP.
Currently the below dynamic action is coded when employees are being moved form NE1 to CRESP, but now they will have a opt in flag which should appear automatically, What needs to be done to make this happen?
Please let me know if I set default value for the Opt in field for the same infotype.
. When employees are being moved from NE1 to CRESP pension scheme we currently use a dynamic action as show below:
0071                      04      10      I        INS,0069
0071                      04      20      W       P0069-BEGDA=P0071-BEGDA
0071                      04      30      W       P0069-ENDDA=P0071-ENDDA
0071                      06      1        F        DYNACT_PAE031(ZHRPROG016)
Also if it is not possible via dynamic action could you please explain how to create it using user exit, I am not an ABAPer.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
SK

How to make Pages Default App

How do i make Pages my default app and not "textedit".
THANK YOU

smccray,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
You can set any file type to open in Pages, and it’s surprisingly easy: just go to the Finder, single-click on any a file, then type command-I (Get Info). Click on the Open With... menu and select Pages (or navigate to Pages if it’s not in the menu). To make all files of that type open in Pages, click on the Change All button. You can do that with .doc, RTF, .txt, and other types of files.

Mac OSX with two apache servers: standard and MAMP - How to make MAMP default server

MAMP apache is installed on localhost:8888. How do I make that the default web server for that Mac OSX? I found that when I open a web page in he OSX Safari browser, it uses the standard apache httpd found in /etc/apache2. I'd like to make the apache server in /Applications/MAMP/bin/apache2. Where do I specify that setting?

Shut down Web Sharing (assuming OS X client and not OS X Server here), and configure MAMP to use port 80 using the Apache configuration file.
System Preferences > Sharing > Web Sharing (off)
Here is the MAMP documentation that describes how to set the port number with MAMP. Select port 80.
There's a MAMP startup sequence that avoids a password-prompting case that can arise here. (I have not tested that sequence nor that tool.)

How to make AW default application?

I've had a very long saga with my sister's computer, upgrading to Tiger and losing AppleWorks, and making TextEdit the default until I could download AW to her machine. Now it's on there, but TextEdit is still the default. I can go in and make documents always open under AW, but I don't want her to have to do that every time. How do I remove TextEdit as the default and change it to AW?

Highlight a known AppleWorks document in the Finder, highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose AppleWorks 6. If AppleWorks 6 is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the AppleWorks 6 application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with AppleWorks 6.

How to make Bluetooth default on every time T500 boots

Hi everyone,
I am a new T500 2081 user. I did a Windows 7 pro x64 clean install and was able to install all the ThinkVantage software including the hotkey driver, so I can use Fn+F5 to activate the Bluetooth. The problem is everytime I restart my T500 the Bluetooth is off by default. I have to press Fn+F5 to activate it again and again. I am getting a Thinkpad Bluetooth laser mouse and it will be a pain if I have to activate my mouse every time the computer is restarted.
When I boot my computer in Ubuntu 9.10 on another partition of the hard drive the Bluetooth is always on, so I guess the issue in Windows 7 is a software setting one. Any idea how to fix it? Thank you!!!

Does anyone have the same problem?
I found this description at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-57107#notturnon, answer to question #2: "Whenever you start the computer or resume operation after it has been in standby or hibernation mode, you must turn on the Bluetooth features."
Does that mean you just always have to press Fn+F5 everytime?
This information is quite old and most likely not valid for newer systems. Bluetooth should remain on as long as it was enabled during the last boot and the radio hasn't been shut off.. That being said I would look in your power profile and make sure the system isn't shutting down the bluetooth radio when there are no devices connected. (or after sleep). This would make you have to turn it on every time.
Also I would check the bluetooth settings and make sure there aren't any settings which leave it shutoff by default, this could also be considered a possible security feature.
Sorry I don't have any more complete information to offer since my thinkpad didn't come with bluetooth... I wanted the turbo drive
