How to open files with the trackpad?

Hi,
On my old Powerbook, I could open documents with a double tap. On my new Macbook Pro, I cannot do this. I have to press Control and then the bar under the trackpad. Is there a better shortcut to opening docs?
Thanks.

How new is that MBPro? It appears that the preferences you have are different from mine and that they support the additional gestures (as on the Mac Book Air). Methinks you should try the box "Tap to Click" under the single finger gestures as the next items Dragging and Drag Lock are what follow the box I suggested earlier on mine.
If it doesn't work, turn it off and try something else.

How to open files from the SAP DMS (DOC Mgt. System) ?

Hello All,
 I making the Transaction CV04N in BSP.
When I execute this CV04N I should give a DOC Nr and the list is generated for this DOC.Now in the List if I select one Record and then Press Display Icon then the content of this list is opened in a new window in it's respective format (PDF,Word,GIF,Image file etc).These are stored in the SAP DMS.
 I want to open a file from this SAP DMS .
This can be done in ABAP using the standard FMs. But in BSP we can't use these FMs as it will call a screen.
The Fm which I'm using is " DOCUMENT_SHOW_DIRECT ".
In Report prog. To this FM I'll pass the
a, DOC Type
b, DOC Number
c, Document part and
d, Document version.
then It'll directly open a PDF file in a new window.
But in BSP how should I acheive this as the FM calls a screen internally.
The content of the documents are stored in the DMS. Is there any TCODE or Table to get the files from the DMS ?
How should I proceed ? can any one help me out.....
Regards,
Deepu.K

Hello All,
 I found the FM : CVAPI_DOC_OPEN_CAD which wil return the file path.
But when I execute this in my BSP since the FM internally calls a screen it fails.
But can anyone tell me the alternative for this.
Should I create a FM omitting the GUI code ?
I found one more thread which says that I can use classes starting with cl_gos*.
But all the classes use a gui.
Dowload a document from R/3 DMS to BSP page
Am I wrong in the interpretation of the logic from the above thread ?
Please suggest me .
I too went thru the BSP Applications CVAW_ENTIRE, CVAW_DOCUMENT_DISPLAY.
But these are used to display only the thumbnails.
There is no code for displaying other formats like PDF,XLS etc.
Please correct me if I'm wrong and let me know the correct path to solve my problem.

How to save file with the "/" symbol in the name?

Hi,
I have Adobe Professional 8. I need to save files with names that include the symbol /, but Adobe interprets, for example, A/88/6, as file name 6, in a folder named 88, in a folder named A, and sets up new folders to accommodate that. I cannot substitute another symbol as I already have thousands of pdf files in a database using the / symbol, and I need them in the same folders.
I would very greatly appreciate any advice,
thanks,
Mo.

Thanks.
As I said, I'm pretty ignorant about these things. I wouldn't know how to begin using a "hack". All I know is that I was able, for over a year, to save .pdf files directly from my browser on several computers, and use the forbidden "/" symbol in every file name. After saving the files, Adobe will happily open them, and allow me to edit and re-save them, although I now see that it will not allow me to "save as" them under a different name without removing that symbol.
I may not be tech-savvy, but I can state that everything I have said here and above is entirely accurate. I would be happy to open a dropbox account to show you countless .pdfs with the symbol "/" in the name.
This is honestly not that big a deal. I greatly appreciate this discussion, and you have inspired me to become slightly less computer-ignorant.
Hope you all had a great New Year. I am still recovering.
Cheers,
Mo.

How to open files with "return" key and delete files with "delete" key?

Hi friends,
It's been over a week since I got my iMac and I'm loving it. However, while I'm adapting alright to 'mac' key shortcuts (e.g. using the COMMAND-S for save as opposed to CONTROL-S used in PC).
However, there are 2 things that are annoying me greatly right now.
1. I like selecting files with keys as opposed to using the mouse. I make animations and prefer keyboard shortcuts. However, when I hit "return", instead of opening the file it goes into file-renaming mode. How do I change this? Likewise, I would like to delete files by hitting the delete key. This does not work - how do I change this?
2. When I click SHIFT key sometimes, it gets 'stuck' - which is annoying because I start typing CAPITALS when I wasn't aware I've activated the CAP-LOCK key. How do I get rid of this? Like, I don't want to hit SHIFT for instance, and have that up arrow thing 'stuck' there.
Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi
Thanks for the star.
If you went into Mac Help & searched, 2 results come up:
Full keyboard access shortcuts for interacting with items (for selecting & activating controls).
Full keyboard navigation keyboard shortcuts (for navigating Desktop, Windows, Menu bar etc)
From the lists, select the link that closely describes your situation.
I have to say that I can't reproduce your problem, does this happen just in applications or in everything? I don't know if it's to do with this but pressing Shift 5 times turns on Sticky Keys & Option(Alt) 5 times to turn on Mouse Keys (System Preferences>Universal Access>Keyboard).
After typing "Sticky Keys" into Mac Help, I found this:
"Pressing a group of modifier keys as a sequence
To perform many tasks on your computer, you need to press one or more modifier keys (Shift, Command, Option, and Control) at the same time as another key. For example, pressing Shift-Command-Q in the Finder opens the Logout dialog.
If you have difficulty pressing several keys at once, you can make it easier to press a set of keys by turning on Sticky Keys in the Universal Access preferences pane. With Sticky Keys turned on, you can press a set of modifier keys as a sequence. As you press each key, the symbol for the modifier key appears on the screen.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Universal Access. Then click Keyboard.
Select the On button next to Sticky Keys.
To hear a sound whenever the computer registers that you have pressed a modifier key, select "Beep when a modifier key is set."
To see an icon indicating which modifier keys you have pressed, select "Display pressed keys on screen."
You can also use Slow Keys to adjust the amount of time between when you press a key and when it is activated."
Any of this close to your problem?
Steve
Edit: I'm right, it's Sticky Keys:

HT204382 Can anyone tell me how to open files in the format 'radio.ram' ?

Can anyone tell me how to play files in radio.ram' format, as an add-on to QuickTime or whatever?

Wow, that's a name from the past, Real Player.
And it worked.
It's a product that I'd completely forgotten about going back to my days struggling with Windows on IBM clones and shows that I haven't tried listening to streaming Internet radio in a long, long time!
Thank you very much, Varjak, for your help.

How to open files using the Windows associated program?

I have a LV program that is generating a list of files that I may want to open using the associated Windows program. Some are standard Office files but others require proprietary analysis programs. All have Windows associations such that I can double click on the file name in the Windows file manager and launch the appropriate program. I would like to mimic this behavior within my LV program but without coding a case for each file extension, some of which I may not anticipate now.

There are some problems with that VI. I have one user that I had to track a problem down with trying to open a PDF file. Their registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf was read in with a value of "AcroExch.Document " (with a lot of spaces after it), which prevented this VI from finding the next key (AcroExch.Document\shell\open\command) which identifies the path to Adobe Acrobat. Instead of getting the path to Adobe Acrobat, I got back "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Document" as the path (see attached error).
I checked the key with the Windows registry editor, and it did NOT show the extra spaces. However, just opening the key and selecting OK (without making changes) was enough to clear the problem.
Not sure if this problem is with the registry keys that Adobe Acrobat created when it was installed or upgraded (the user was on version 9.0, but there are older versions on that machine, too), or if the problem was with the LabVIEW registry key readers in Open a Document on Disk.vi.

How do open files in the "downloads" directory of Firefox (right clicking does not work)?

In the toobar settings and I have it set to download files and programs on to my desktop-it does not. Instead all downloads go the "downloads" file and when I attempt to open these programs or files with a right-click or any other technique-it does not work.
If at all possible, please call me to resolve this issue at (714) 392-2280. Thanks.

Hi Milesb,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. The [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes] Knowledge base article will help.
You might also want to take a look at [[Preferences are not saved]].
Hopefully this helps!

How to import files with the extension Lotus Notes nsf in OSx Maveriks Mail

Hello,
From what I understand through your problem is that you are updating the database tables with the values obtained from the *.msg file, which may also include Asian characters. If you debug and check your internal table I'm certain you would find your Asian characters as they are. But once you upload them on to the database they get distorted. The problem is probably arising because your system is not unicode enabled, Please confirm with your basis person whether the system is Unicode enabled.

Manish.

Does firefox open files with the .do extention?

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [[/questions/902188]]</blockquote>
ie wont open .do files

With which content (MIME) type are those files send?
If you get a download dialog then that means that the files aren't send as t4ext/html or text/plain, but with a MIME type that Firefox doesn't handle internally.
It is also possible that an extension or security software is removing GET data (?xxx=xxx) from the link.
Can you post a link to a specific page if the page doesn't require authentication (log in) to access it?

How to open a file with the same name?

Hi, now I practicing making web pages where I put sample codes in one directory and I copy them to edit.
The probrem is, I couldn't open one file while I'm opening another file with the same name.
Is it possible to open a file with the same name in Dreamweaver?

That could be a very error prone practice.
May I suggest you take advantage of DW "Snippets" feature instead.
Simply save any blocks of code you will reuse regularly as snippets,
and give each one a descriptive name you like.
Then you can simply place your cursor in code view where you wish the code,
and click insert on the selected item from the snippet panel.
