How to open each CS version file in its proper version program when double-clicked?

Hello everyone,
This one is about the coexistence of Indesign CS4 and CS5.
In my company: I'm working with Indesign CS4, but a colleague is testing CS5 in real day-to-day works, and everyday I come across CS5 files that I need to correct, so I have CS5 installed too. Now, when I boot in the morning, and no Indesign program is open yet, whenever I double-click on an Indesign file, the system will open it with CS5, no matter if the file is CS4 or CS5. I find this quite annoying, of course. I want each version file to get open right away in the proper version of the program. I'd think this is happening to a lot of people, but I've been looking for the issue in the forums and haven't found anything.
Of course I'm using roundabouts like having my colleague write "_CS5" at the end of each file, put CS4 in my startup items (so that once the program is open, the issue works the other way around and any Indesign file opens just in CS4 when double-clicked…).
Also, all the Indesign files appear on the desktop as CS5 files
I would welcome any ideas on the subject, thanks!

Muchas gracias! really useful. I'm gonna try it.

  • Open a file in a running java program via double click

    I have already implemented opening my program with the corresponding file after a double click in windows explorer or from the cmd line but how do you open a file into the program if it is already running as MS Word will open a .doc file in the current word instance if you are running it.
    Thx,
    Jim

    Implement some sort of interprocess communication in your program. If you launch an instance, it can check whether another is running and pass a message to it telling it to perform the wished action.

  • Excel cant find this file when double clicking to open

    Hi,
    Our Imacs 10.8.2 and 10.7.3 joined to windows 2008 domain cant open certain excel files from the network share. When double clicking the file or opening from excel -> file open it says it cant find the file. If I drag the file to the desktop then it will open when double clicked. I have tried disconnecting the network drive and reconnecting. I checked permissions and even tried a few cleaner products such as mac keeper and ccleaner and still the same issue. I even upgraded one of the macs from 10.6.8 to 10.7.3 and the issue persisted. Its very strange as some users can open but others cant. Any insight greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

    Doug's got it right. It sounds like you are trying to open a later version file in an earlier version. This will always be handled as opening the PDF portion of the file. Try Googling AI_openMultiPagePDF for a script to open these or Resave from the newer version to the older.

  • How can I convert an M4A file to an MP3 version?

    How can I convert an M4A file to an MP3 version?

    Thanks for your reply but that's not my problem.
    I know that I can burn an M4A file to a CD and then import it back as an MP3, but that's an annoying process and wastes blank CDs.  I thought iTunes had a menu choice to convert a selected file to MP3 format.  I guess that's not true with M4A versions. 
    I will simply buy my music from Amazon from now on and I won't have to deal with this file format and protection nonsense.  I can download music from Amazon in MP3 format as the rest of my music is in.

    How do I edit a PDF file using Acrobat 9 - Version 9.4.0
    I need to edit - copy, extract text, add text, etc. from existing PDF files to SAVE my changes,
    or create a new PDF file from an existing file.
    This is very important for me to be able to do my job effectively.
    I spent over 2 hrs the last few days, and another hour today, still can't do it.
    PLEASE respond ASAP with a solution.
    Thanks in advance,

    PDF is an end destination format - although Acrobat is capable of making minor changes to a file (e.g. to correct typos) it is not a word processor or DTP application. Major changes must be done in the original document, and the PDF file re-exported.
    You can copy text from a file by selecting it and right-clicking, or you can save the file as plain or formatted text. To make small changes to the text on a page, use the touchup tool - see the help file for more info.

  • Firefox4 always cannot remember how to open these types of file

    When I download certain types of file, for example, .rar file, firefox4 always cannot remember how to open these types of file next time. The check box “automatically use the same method to handle the file” in the download popup window looks grey and cannot be checked. Also, these types never appear in the list of option-application. I check previously installed firefox 3.6, these types are all called (application/***). What’s more, when I want to turn off computer, as long as firefox 4 is opened, it will lose response and prevent Windows from turning off. Whatever I do, reinstalling firefox, deleting profile and even reinstall Windows, I cannot get rid of those issues. I think these are bugs of firefox4. I hope they will be fixed as soon as possible.

    Purchase a legal copy of Windows instead of attempting to pirate it. You will then have the installation disks you'll need and won't have to worry about opening Torrent files.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

    Was the message sent from Microsoft Outlook? When you embed an image in a message in Outlook (at least up to version 2003), it creates a hidden attachment for the image and then inserts a "cid" reference to it. If the attachment gets stripped for any reason then the "cid" reference is useless: Outlook does not store the original URL or path to the image.

    Unless you have attempted to downgrade to an older version of iTunes this is likely to be a sign of a corrupt library. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

  • Wrong file icons - files won't open when double-clicked

    Hello,
    I have a the following problem on a powerbook.
    Most picture files (JPGs, but not bearing the .jpg extension) are not reckognised any more by the system.
    In fact, they bear an icon of Terminal exec (a black square with a green "exec" note in the corner).
    When double-clicked, they don't open in Preview any more, they act as a terminal app, and won't launch, obviously.
    The only way to open them is to go the hard way : in Preview, File menu, Open...
    Another way is to change their names by including the ".jpg" extensions, which seems to wake up the id from the system and place back the correct icon and app link. But we have 1000's of pictures...
    Painful.
    We tried rebuilding OS X desktop, repairing permissions, and update prebinding (using the excellent ToolsX 3.4). No results yet.
    Any idea someone?
    Thanks,
    Powerbook 17 1GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Have you tried selecting a picture, doing command i, for info, then in the info window setting the app for that file as Preview then clicking Change All?
    Does ToolsX have a "Rebuild Launch Services database" function
    or an update for "whatis" and "Locate" databases?
