How to open the choose application dialog on Mac?

Hi all,
I want to know how can we open the "choose application" dialog from InDesign. I want to give this functionality through right click context menu.
At present CS4 has this feature - steps are as follows:
1.Create a document.
2.Place an item on the document.
3.Now select the placed item and right click on it.
4.Go to "Edit With->Other..." option.
5.Choose application dialog opens up and user can select the application in which he/she wants to open the selected item.
I want the same behavior but not able to understand how to open the choose application dialog on Mac. I have already achieved this on windows.
I think that there might be some system API's for Mac to get this working.
Please let me know about this, any help will be appreciable.

Is this not sufficient? Looks like  you get some defaults then an "other" at the bottom as well. Control click or right click, when using the white arrow on the image.

  • Applescript to open the Choose Folder dialog box and close the message after moving it

    I've been trying to figure out how to get the same functionality as the Windows version of Outlook has so that the open message gets closed when it's moved to another folder.
    It seems pretty simple to move a message to a pre-defined folder, but I can't find a way to open the Choose Folder dialog so I could choose the destination folder. I've looked through the dictionary, but couldn't find any direct way to activate the Choose Folder dialog. So I decided to use keystrokes for the job. Here's what I came up with:
    on run {}
        tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
            try
                set theMessage to first item of (get current messages)
                set folderID to the folder of theMessage
            on error errMsg number errNum
                set dialogReply to display dialog "Please select one or more messages to file away before running this script." buttons {"Abort"} default button 1
                return
            end try
            -- open the Choose Folder dialog
            tell application "System Events" to keystroke "m" using {command down, shift down}
            repeat
                delay 2
                set currentID to the folder of theMessage
                if currentID is not folderID then exit repeat
            end repeat
            -- Close the active message
            tell application "System Events" to keystroke "w" using command down
        end tell
    end run
    This is my first attempt to do anything with AppleScript..
    Now in addition to using keystrokes instead of Outlook built-in commands to open the Choose Folder dialog and to close the message, I also have another problem. Everytime I run the script from AppleScript Editor, everything runs fine, the message gets moved to the folder I choose and the message also gets closed. When I move the script to "~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/Outlook Script Menu Items" and start it from inside Outlook, Outlook  gets stuck after opening the Choose Folder dialog and I have to force quit Outlook. I added some debuggin to the script and found out that the script keeps running, but I'm unable to select the folder from Outlook and cannot continue.
    Anybody have an idea why this is happening?
    Regard,
    Kris

    Unchecking "Submit crash reports" in the Firefox [[Options window - Advanced panel]] General tab simply toggles the default of the "Tell Mozilla about this crash so they can fix it" check box in the Mozilla Crash Reporter dialog (upon crash). It does not turn off the Crash Reporter itself.

  • Urgent!!how to open the file download dialog box????

    Hi all,
    i'm using the browse button for the user to select the file
    and a submit button, which when cliked should open the file
    download dialog box asking for open or save.
    i searched for so many forums and websites and didn't get the
    solution yet.
    i'm using jsp.
    anyone have the jsp code for the same????
    will b more helpful if u send it to me.
    thanx in advance.

    Hi
    Use the Filedialog class.
    Let your button call a method wich contains the following Java code:
    FileDialog filedialog =
    new FileDialog( Frame1.this, "Open a File", FileDialog.LOAD );
    //witch calls this constructor: public FileDialog(Frame parent, String title, int mode)
    //use Filedialog.SAVE to save a file.
    filedialog.show();
    String filename = filedialog.getFile();//to display the name of the file
    String directoryname = filedialog.getDirectory();// to display the directory name

  • I can't open the standard applications on my Mac Book Pro.

    I have a Mac Book Pro with Retina display OS X version 10.9.5 can I can't open any of my applications like iMessage, FaceTime, even the chess game. I also Can't open the App Store to update my computer. When I bought it everything worked fine and I've been having this problem for awhile, does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Cannot now open the mail application - any clues as to how i can fix this ?

    Just downloaded Yosemite and cannot now open the mail application - how can i get this back ?
    thanks

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    Joanne please remove your current installation of Photoshop Lightroom using the uninstallers located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
    You will then want to download Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1 from Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh.  The update contains the entire application.  Photoshop Lightroom can not be installed through the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop application and still be licensed with a serial number.

  • How do you Re-Open the Camera Raw Dialog box after closing it?

    Hi All,
    going crazy trying to figure out how to reopen the Camera Raw dialog box after closing it in photoshop. I know I found it once but have since forgetten. Any help would be much appreciated!
    thx!
    Jayson

    When the image is open in ACR hold down the SHIFT key and you'll see the button marked Open Image changes to Open Object, so do your ACR adjustments then hold down shift and click Open Object - your image will open as a Smart Object in Photoshop.
    If using Lightroom you can right click the image and select Edit>Open as Smart Object in Photoshop from the drop-down menu.
    Do not confuse normal smart objects with what we're talking about here, Camera RAW Smart Objects - possibly one of the most powerful tools to have at your dispossal, once you understand them.
    Hope this helps

  • HT2500 whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

    whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

    1. If by flurry of emails you mean they all appear opened as if clicked on.
    2. Or do you mean your inbox fills up with a whole lot of 'new' unread emails downloaded from the server, so that if you delete them they return next time you open Mail.
    If it is 1. Press (three keys) Option + Command + W
    This will close all mail windows including the inbox.
    Then press (two keys) Command + 1
    to return the inbox.
    That should stop any flurry next time you open Mail
    If 2., Open Mail Preferences > Accounts (select the account in question if there is more than one), click on Advanced, and where it says remove copy from server after retrieving message, select that choice and click Remove now.

  • How can I open the "Pane Properties Dialog Box", without right-clicking on the scrollbar of the pane?

    To open the "Pane Properties Dialog Box" the LabVIEW Help suggest following:
    "Right-click in the scrollbar of a pane and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display this dialog box."
    The Problem is that I would like to switch off the scrollbars, which once done, means I can't right-click on the scrollbar anymore !
    There must be a different way to get to this Menu, too ?!

    Typically, you would hide the scrollbars only when running, and in this case there is no problem. I guess you should keep at least one of the scrollbars visible in edit mode.
    Once both scrollbars are hidden, you can restore them using the "VI properties...windows appearance...customize" dialog.
