How to open PNGs within Safari

Ok so I've noticed lately that whenever I try to view a full size PNG image, Safari downloads it and opens it in Preview, I'd rather just view it within the broser Like I do with JPG and GIF images. does anyone know how to get it to open up in the browser? (Also if possible can it not open with Quicktime, I like to be able to view it at 100% and not just the size of my browser window)

Safari should only download a PNG file rather than display it when clicking on it if it was setup as a download and not a viewable image, or if you specifically chose to download it. Either way, Safari does support PNG files.
Once it downloads, have you tried a Get Info on the image file and used the Open with: dropdown menu to choose Safari as the default application, then clicked the Change All button below that to make it the default for all files of that type?
QuickTime will also open PNG files, and this can be set from System Preferences, > QuickTime > Advanced section. Click on the MIME Settings… button, then the disclosure triangle next to Images - Still image files, and check the box next to each file type you want QuickTime to open for you. Be sure to change the default application for those file types to QuickTime.

  • How to open projects within a zip file?

    Is there any way to use the open project feature to open projects within a zip file loaded onto a LMS?  I have several files loaded in a zip file and I would like to navigate to each one within the zip file itself.  The problem that I see is that it does not know where to look.  Within the zip file, there is a main menu file that is used to branch out to another project file and then the user will go back to the main file to navigate to another.  I know this seems complicated, but I am being asked to see if this is possible.

    A zipped SCORM package is always unzipped on the LMS server after upload.  So you need to look at the file and folder structure of the SCORM after it was unzipped to see how to navigate or link to other elements.
    However, let me just say that what you are trying to do will almost certainly cause you many headaches.  A multi-SCO SCORM package is meant to be comprised of several individual SCO modules that do not usually talk to each other because by definition in the SCORM standard they are supposed to be standalone and not require anything else to play.
    Additionally, a multi-SCO package uploaded to an LMS is intended to allow the LMS to control navigation to individual SCO modules via the TOC links that the LMS creates in its own SCORM player.  Once you start over riding these links and opening up individual SCOs without using the TOC links you run the risk of confusing the LMS as to which SCO is actually playing.  The SCORM API only wants to deal with one SCO at a time.

  • IMac: How to open/save a Safari window of tabs on another screen page?

    I would like to open another Safari window on a new page in order to scroll between the two screens on my iMac.
    But when I open a new Safari window it opens ontop of the present Safari window ... (not - as hoped for - on a separate screen).
    Can I open and save a new window on another screen. Please advise me on this if possible. Thank you.

    Hello patongandy,
    It sounds like you are opening a new window in Safari, but it is opening on the main display and you would like to move it to your other monitor. You can do this with mission control as outlined in the following article:
    OS X: Using multiple displays in Mavericks
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5891
    Using Mission Control to organize windows and full-screen apps
    App windows are assigned to a single space. You can use Mission Control to see all of the Spaces assigned to each display and to move them. To move a Space, drag it from one display to the other.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • How to open PDFs in Safari 8.0

    Been frustrated for a couple days now. Up until mid last week, I've been able to open PDFs inside the safari browser no problem.  I think this ended up changing in the latest Yosemite update.  Opening PDFs inside the safari window, not in a different tab is particularly crucial for my job, I use an agent webportal that requires PDFs to be filled out inside the browser window and submitted as such.
    I've had this happen a few times, usually it was fixed by deleting the adobe plugins in the internet plugins folder and/or simply resetting the safari browser back to default. What I've tried so far:
    uninstalling/reinstalling both reader and acrobat multiple times.
    deleting the plugins from the internet folder multiple times.
    tried switching up the default pdf view app, no change.
    tried as best as i could find to reset the settings on safari, but inside yosemite there appears to not be a reset option to bring it back to default.
    Honestly I'm at my wits end here with this thing. I've been using VMWare and windows 7 to complete the stuff I can't do in safari on IE.
    Is there something I haven't tried and/or does anyone know how to fully reset safari back to default in yosemite?

    If the user is using a web browser you can just provide a link to the
    file and let them download, open in their preferred editor, print or
    whatever else they want to do.

  • How to open PDF using safari 5.1

    Please help. My internet browser (safari 5.xx) used to be able to open PDF files using the preview program. After I updated to Safari 5.1 it does not open it anymore in a safary window, instead every single pdf file gets downloaded. I tried the genreal fix of removing the adobe plug-in from the Mac HD -> Library -> internet plug ins file but it did not help. I would need Acrobat reader on my computer but I would like to use the preview program to view PDF files on-line. Please help  (It is a huge pain to delete every single PDF after I looked at it...)
    Under the USer -> Library-> internet plug ins folder there is nothing it appears empty.
    So any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Just to add to the annoyment. After trashing the Adobe reader 10.1 version and hoping that now everything went back to the original working order -- wrong. Now when I click on a PDF document, which used to open up till now in a new window, is simply getting downloaded and the new wndow remains blank... Maddening.
    Please sombody help.
    thanks

  • Download and then open PDFs with Preview instead of viewing PDFs within Safari

    hello, I am running Safari 6.0.2 and since this update PDF files are automatically opened within Safari. This seems to be a new feature. In my older version of Safari whenever I clicked a pdf it was downloaded to my "Downloads" folder and then automatically opened with Preview. The option open "safe" files after downloading in Safari -> Preferences -> General is ticked. So as soon as a download a PDF file it should automatically be opened with Preview. However, I cannot figure out how to download a PDF file from a google link. I googled and people suggested to use alt + mouse click on the google search result link to download the PDF. However, whenever I tried this instead of downlading the PDF file it downloads a .html file which is then apparently not opened. Also using the option "download linked file" or "download linked file as" only downloads a url.html file and not the PDF. I searched and searched for any possible solutions but cannot find any. I am really suprised that no one has yet really complained about that. Any ideas of how to fix that problem?

    I had a similar probem after updating to the newest Safari -- and I posted that question on the forum this morning.  Like you, I didn't have any adobe plug-ins.  then I read another post that made sense:
    find a pdf document that you know opens in Preview. Do a command-I on that document's icon.  Then you'll see 1/2 way down an item that says "open with Preview" - click on the arrow beside that, then beside it you'll see "use this application to open all documents like this one"  Under that, you'll see "change all" -- and it will change all pdfs to automatically open with Preview instead of Adobe.From then on Safari worked perfectly
    Then I wondered why I didn't have the Adobe plug-in that people were telling me to disable - so I downloaded Adobe Reader again - looked in the library and sure enough there was the plug-in - so I went ahead and disabled the Adobe pdf plug-in (by dumping it in the trash).
    so far so good -- first time that Safari 6.02 has worked for me since I installed it.

  • Opening PDFs with Preview instead of Acrobat within Safari

    I much prefer to use Preview for downloaded PDFs than have Acrobat open PDFs in Safari. How can I switch back to Preview once I have installed Acrobat 7?
    Thanks inadvance!

    PDF Browser Plug-in is a good alternative for viewing PDF files accessed via a web page. You can save or print from the pdf page. I've used it for a couple of years now, and IMO is a viable alternative to Preview, especially in quickly accessing the information within Safari.
    There is no charge for the plug-in if used for non-commercial purposes.

  • How to NOT open pdfs in Safari window.

    Hi,
    How can I set Safari to download pdfs and not have them automatically open within Safari windows.
    Yes, I  know that I can right click and save... but one does not always know that a link is a pdf in the first place.
    I have just got a new iMac two days ago and In the past, on my previous iMac,  I was able to open Terminal and type:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -bool YES .... hit return, quit Terminal and restart Safari.
    But I tried that  - and still pdfs display in Safari's window..... maybe it is because I was running a slightly older version of Safari on  my last Mac.... currently I am using Safari 5.1
    I have search this forum and others but  after many hours, I cannot find  the answer..... anyone any ideas?
    Regards
    Derro

    Thanks for that and yes I am aware of  that option, however  that is very inconvenient and means  that one has to look at the Status bar EVERY time before you click on a link in oorder to determine if it is a link or a pdf..... alll very very  tiresome indeed.
    What one is looking for is that links will just open as expected and that if, IF , it happens to be a pdf link, that it will download it to the desktop ( or elsewhere) and then open itself in Preview....
    Any other ideas....
    Regards

    Drag the Safari icon straight up and off the Dock so it goes, "poof" ...
    Now click and hold the Safari app in the Applications folder and drag that to the Dock.
    See if you can open a webpage in Safari.

  • How Can I open Report within the same window instead of separate Window

    Hi All,
    I want to open report in my MDI form instead of opening it into a separate Oracle Report Navigator(i.e. Window which shows the report). How to do that? When I click the Report from Menu it should open it within the MDI Form. Any suggestion or reply would be greatly appreciated.
    One more question is how can i open report with in a maximized state. Actaully, the report will be opened in the normal state. How to open in maximized state instead of normal state. Is there any property in reports to acheive this?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards
    Gopinath Kona

    hello,
    reports is a separate application that is called from forms and therefore is running outside the context of the forms MDI window.
    you can use the commandline parameter MAXIMIZE=YES to start the runtime in full-screen-mode.

  • In Safari why dont I have icon in toolbar that shows how many open pages I have?

    Apparently when using Safari on the iPad there should be a little icon in the toolbar that looks like a rectangle and has various numbers in it. Apparently this shows how many open pages you have. When you tap on that icon, you are shown a page with thumbnails of the pages you have open. Unfortunately my husband's iPad does not have that tooblar icon. I cant seem to find any answers on the internet, from friends, from the IT people at work, the local people who sell iPads. Thanks to anyone who can help.

    That was the case in iOS 4, but its not the same in iOS 5. Apple moved to a tab-based interface for the iPad in iOS 5. The old thumbnail view is no longer included.
    Regards.

  • How to get highest number of open cursors within the current calendar day

    Hi all ,
    i need to know how to get the highest number of open cursors within the current calendar day.
    Thanks ,

    the issue is my customer is getting the error ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded and we need an sql statment that gets the following values :
    -highest number of open cursors experienced in the current calendar day.
    -current open cursors
    -and maximum open cursorsThis error is rare. It happens when
    a) the value of the open cursor parameter is set extremly low (default is something like 1000). Low would be something like 10.
    b) <strike>you have many concurrent users(=sessions) and </strike>the application does not use bind values
    In this case each select will open a new cursor, instead of reusing it.
    c) you have a select that opens a cursor for each line. This can happen with a statement where you have the CURSOR keyword somewhere in the select or where clause. Those cursors will be closed when the select is finished. But during the run time of the select, all cursors stay open.
    To track the number of "open cursors" during the day you would need to implement some monitoring. Maybe based on the view that was already mentioned.
    Edited by: Sven W. on May 16, 2011 2:30 PM - since the parameter is on session level, other open cursors should not influence it much.

  • Can't open PDF's in MyPDFs or Kindle from within Safari and other problems

    When viewing a PDF within Safari, I am unable to execute a "read with" in MyPDFs or Kindle (I don't have iBooks). I have ios 5.  I've also been experiencing delayed keystroke response times and delayed lookups such as for contacts. Keystrokes seem to be off in my touch screen too.
    It was intermittent before but now all the time and getting worse.
    I have already tried a reset which used to fix all the problems but now doesn't.
