How to revert file associations in Win8 back to CS6?

I have tried out CC. I am not convinced of its merits and worth the money, so I let the subscription end.No problem. I have CS6.
But how can I revert file associations for example for .PNG or .JPG files back to PS CS6, instead of PS CC? Everytime I change it in the Control Panel, it seemingly accepts it, but then PS comes up with the message that I need to renew my subscription. When I start PS CS6 and open the intended file, there is no problem at all, no subscription renewal message and it all works.
Can I only change that behaviour by uninstalling CC completely? That sucks, because if I ever change my mind and go for CC, I need to redownload all the software, which takes a lot of hours.

How?
You can change them to Paint for instance, then change to PS CS6, but it still reverts to PS CC.
Now change that to:
and the result is:

How To Make File Association Changes Permenant

I'm having a problem with file associations reverting back every time I turn of my computer.
I'm using Finder "change all" function to change the file association. It works until I turn off my computer. Once rebooted file associations return.
It's a real hassle. For some reason MP4 files keep getting associated with Windows media player. Everytime I try to open one, parallalels loads up windows.
Any advise?

How to restore file associations in Bridge CS5?

Hi
Some time ago I somehow lost file associations in Adobe Bridge CS5. Now when I doubleclick a RAW file (Canon .CR2 file) I get Firefox, when I doubleclick a JPG I get FastStone and when I doubleclick a PSD file nothing happens at all. Also Photoshop is not in the options I get by right-clicking photos and choosing "Open with...".
I have tried [ Edit -> Preferences... -> File Type Associations -> Reset to Default Associations ] , but that didn't help.
Also when I look in the File Type Association dialog, my file types are set to "Explorer Settings", and Photoshop is not among the other options. I don't know how this uses to be (if associations are defined in Bridge or it uses Explorer/Windows settings?), but how do I easily recreate original setup from when I installed Photoshop?

Hi Neil
Thanks for the answer. I'm aware I can manually setup associations one-by-one for all file types I need, but just hoped there was some easier way. I mean there's a lot of file types associated in either windows/explorer or directly in Bridge. Some that I might not know I need tomorrow. Two things I have found out since I asked the question:
1) The problem is probably caused by uninstalling my old CS4 after I had installed CS5. It looks like somebody experienced a similar problem by uninstalling CS3 after the installation of CS4: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1899159#1899159. So apparently a bug Adobe hasn't fixed even though it was in previous version too!? :-( I think it is only natural to keep your old version installed for some time when installing an upgrade. Just to make sure the new version works well before you uninstall the previous (And I have previous had the problem that a new version of Photoshop had a habit of freezing on my PC - or some other error I don't remember - until Adobe released an update. So there's a reason for my behavior).
2) I have installed a second copy of CS5 now on my secondary portable PC, and are using this to make a similar setup regarding file associations in windows/explorer and Bridge. All associations for Photoshop was lost on my primary PC, and God... there's a lot of file associations to setup again... May I recommend Adobe (if reading this) to fix this bug and/or make a script to automatically recover all associations in case of loss!

How to identify files associated with apps?

Hello all -
   I am considering buying a new Mac mini which would come with Yosemite. My existing mini (mid 2011, Lion 10.7.5) has a lot of apps I do not wish to migrate, so I think I am stuck with manually reinstalling each of the apps I want on the new computer. How do I identify the necessary files associated with these apps (preferenes, app support, etc.) so I can copy them over after reinstalling on the new computer? Is there any way to track what files were installed along with the app when it was first installed? Anyone familiar with the claim of CleanApp to log all associated files with an installation (at time of install), or any other software that does this?
   Thanks - Randy

Thanks again Arthur for your response. I looked at RoaringApps but was not sure if I should enable the real time or just use basic. Real time seems to require a lot of downloading (and modification?)   What do you recommend - Real TIme or Basic?
As far as SunnyMenu, it is old but has worked flawlessly through and including Lion 10.7.5. The only alteration of the system is that it is added as a startup item in my User in System Preferences. It does not change the GUI, but adds menus (that you can customize) in addition to, rather than changing what System X does. The Dock will not accomodate nearly as many items and SunnyMenu allows for nested subfolders of menu items. I find it extremely useful and use it every day. I realize one day it will no longer work, but hope that, as it's pretty simple, that may be a bit further off. As a rule I don't dabble in System modifiying stuff like maintenance, clean-up, speed-up, "optimization" etc. and just rely on System X. I do have iStat Menus, but I don't believe that's modifying the System, but only displays information. RoaringApps seems to indicate it's compatible with everything through Yosemite. Would you recommend against that as well? It saved me once when my fan failed but I noticed the iStat temp & rpm display and got it repaired at my Apple Store before I completely toasted my mini.
Thanks again for your replies, they have been extrmely helpful in understanding how to start planning my move to a new Mac mini with Yosemite!

How to make file associations in XFCE permanent

Hi,
I have a problem with file associations in XFCE (Thunar, actually), because I can't make it permanent. After setting up, they work fine, but they change to default values after some time.
Anyone with same problem?:|

is it all file associations? maybe updating certain programs would do it or thunar itself but i seriously doubt it because config should still be the same

FAQ: What do I need to know about file associations when I load Photoshop CS6?

Use Windows control panel to establish the file association.
This solution uses Photoshop as an example. For any other product, replace that product's filename extension and executable name with the product and file type you are attempting to restore.
Windows 7/Vista
Choose Start > Control Panels.
Change to list view:
Double-click Default Programs.
   4. Click Associate A File Type.
   5. Select .PSD from the list.
Click Change Program.
If your desired version of Photoshop is listed, choose, it. Otherwise, click Browse to locate it and click Open.
Ensure the "Always use the selected program..." option is selected. Click OK to close the Open With dialog box.
Double-click an .PSD file to ensure that it opens with your preferred version of Photoshop.
On Windows 7, click the View By pop-up menu and choose Small Icons.
Windows Vista, click Classic View in the upper left.
Windows XP
       Choose Start > Control Panels > Folder Options.
       Click the File Types Tab.
       Select PSD from the list.
Note: If you do not have PSD in the list of extensions, skip ahead to the next section, Create a filename extension.
       Click Advanced.
       Select the Open action, and click Edit
       Click Browse and navigate to the Photoshop.exe for your version. Select it and click Open.
Note: Make sure that the resulting value in the Application Used textbox has the following syntax, especially the "%1" (with quotes included). If it does not, manually edit the field contents so that it does:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
       Select Use PSD and click OK to close the New Action dialog box.
       Click OK to close the Edit File Type dialog box.
       Click Close to close the Folder Options dialog box.
      Double-click an .PSD file to ensure that it opens with your preferred version of Photoshop.
How to associate files for Photoshop CS5 with Bridge CS5 and Photoshop CS6 with Bridge CS6
1. CS6 assigns all standard graphics files to be associated with CS6 and thus causes Bridge CS5 to invoke Photoshop CS6. The objective is to have Bridge CS5 invoke Photoshop CS5 at least for chosen file types. Ensure neither CS5 nor CS6 is invoked.
2. In the Win7 Start Menu search box, type "file association".
3. Select the "Change the file type associated with a file extension". This starts a window titled "Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program".
4. All of the graphic files are assocated with Photoshop CS6.   For those files you want to associate with Photoshop CS5, click on the chosen file extension (e.g. .cr2, .nef, .psd, etc) and click on the "Change Program" to associate the extension to Adobe Photoshop CS5. (note. this step seems to be a necessary operation since, when I simply modified the Bridge CS5 file type associations, Bridge 5 did not honor the change).
5. Start Bridge CS5. Choose "Edit -> Preferences -> File Type Associations".
6. For each file type you wish opened in CS5, change the association from CS6: choose the "Browse" option and locate the CS5 version of Photoshop.exe". This is probably in Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)/Photoshop.exe. Click on OK to complete the association.
Now you can invoke Bridge CS5 and it will properly invoke Photoshop CS5. If you invoke Bridge CS6, it will invoke Photoshop CS6. If you use file manager to invoke one of your selected file extension types, it will start Photoshop CS5. Other graphic files will start Photoshop CS6.
If you wish, you can go back and reassociate the chosen types to PhotoshopCS 6 - but your Bridge 5 will still invoke PS5 for your chosen extensions since the Bridge-assigned file associations takes priority over the windows default program.

Missing Icons, unable to set file association properly after upgrade to CS6

I am working with a client that had CS3 on Windows XP and upgraded to CS 5.5, and now has upgraded that to CS6. Her file associations were all set back to CS3, even though it shows that CS3 is uninstalled. I manually changed them and it will open the INDesign files but I cannot get icons to show for anything. I can see the icons in the shell folder and I can pick one but it will not show in Windows. Is there a way to clean up her system easily and make CS6 the default Adobe - and make sure none of the others have lingering file associations or references? I dont think they uninstalled all the way.

There is no easy way. you will have to clean out all file associations and reinstate them manually. You are simply exceeding the context handlers, a limitation in the operating system itself and usualyl a sign of too many programs trying to link their actions to a file association liek right-click menu entries for compression tools, virus scanners, viewers etc.

How to make file associations in my java apps

I am making a Graph maker in Java. Just give x = 1,2,3,4,5 and corresponding y = f(x) and get the discreate graph.
The graph can then be saved as a file of extention .grf (say) on the hard disk, and can be opened in my graph maker software for editing, viewing e.t.c.
Now my problem is that I want that when I dubble click on a file xyz.grf my graph maker should open automatically with this file opened in it, like other applications on windows say Notepad - dubble click on xyz.txt it will automatically launch Notepade with this file.
In other way I want that any .grf file gets associated to my graf maker.
Please help me and tell me the way, how should I proceed and how can I do this.

But now I want some thing more,(hand to forehead) They always want more. ;)
(a) There is a splash screen in my app. but JNLP always show its own splash screen, ...Webstart splash screens work differently to those of plain Jar files (which is unfortunate). A webstart splash screen has to be not included in the Jar, but available as a separate resource. The splash is defined in the JNLP launch file. For further details see the [JNLP File Syntax|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jws/developersguide/syntax.html].
<quote>
The optional kind="splash" attribute may be used in an icon element to indicate that the image is to be used as a "splash" screen during the launch of an application. If the JNLP file does not contain an icon element with a kind="splash" attribute, but does contain another icon tag, Java Web Start will display a splash screen consisting of the image specified by the icon element on the left and the application's title and vendor on the right.
The first time an application is launched following the addition or modification of the icon element in the JNLP file, the old splash image will still be displayed. The new splash image will appear on the second and subsequent launches of the application.
</quote>
The 'ignored first time' is because the webstart client is more focused on getting the app. downloaded, cached and launched, than showing splashes. Once the app. is on-screen, it will download the splash in the background.
One other 'gotcha' of splash screens is that the JNLP file must define a href in the JNLP element for the splash to be used. The webstart client assumes that a JNLP with no href is dynamically generated, and will not be the same twice. Because of that it ignores the splash!
Edit 1:
Unfortunately, I do not have any direct examples of using splash screens A splash is usually on my 'To Do' list for projects, but it is a very low priority.

Anyone know how to set file associations for QT in Inno Setup?

I am working on an app that requires QT to play .smi files and can't seem to get it to work. I was using this code in the Inno Setup file:
Root: HKCR; Subkey: ".smi"; ValueType: string; ValueName: ""; ValueData: "QuickTime.smi"; Flags: uninsdeletevalue
Root: HKCR; Subkey: "QuickTimePlayerFile"; ValueType: string; ValueName: ""; ValueData: "QuickTimePlayer File"; Flags: uninsdeletekey
Root: HKCR; Subkey: "QuickTimePlayerFile\DefaultIcon"; ValueType: string; ValueName: ""; ValueData: "{app}\QuickTimePlayer.exe,0"
Root: HKCR; Subkey: "QuickTimePlayer\shell\open\command"; ValueType: string; ValueName: ""; ValueData: """{app}\QuickTimePlayer.exe"" ""%1"""
but apparently it isn't right as it still gets launched by RealPlayer. Anyone done this before? How do I get the path to the app right? Is that what's wrong?

I too want to figure out that feature. Let me know if you figure it out!!!
With the Treo, you had the option of setting one ring tone for known callers and an alternate for unknowns. You could also add individual tones to specific callers. Given how 'clever' the iphone seems to be, I keep thinking there is a better option (that I'm missing) other than adding the ringtone individually for each of my several hundred contacts.
Any suggestions?

How to revert the developer's console back to the original version. New one is atrocious.

Recently (I would assume within a month) the developers console has turned into this terrible bar at the bottom which has many issues.
I cannot hit escape to close.
When I click "inspect element" the bar on the side doesn't appear and it's VERY difficult to work around that box on the bottom, let alone find CSS code in websites.
Basically I'm wondering how to down grade or get back the good developers console.

I also liked the ability to show HTML on the bottom and CSS on the right, but I'm not aware of a way to do that now. The most I could find is to have two columns on the right. Please see this thread for further discussion: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/956469 Native Inspect Element tool won't display CSS/elements along right-side of window anymore.]
Regarding Esc, I think you have to use Ctrl+Shift+k to close the Web Console (i.e., that toggles it open and shut).

How to alter file associations on Firefox for Mobile

When I click to download a .mid (midi) file, Firefox automatically launches an Autocad applicaion I have installed on my (Android) phone. Is it Firefox or the Autocad app that's taken control of that file extention ?

Firefox asks the Android OS for a list of apps that are able to open the file. Possibly opeining settings > applications > manage applications > all > autocad > clear default may allow you to select a program to open the file.

How do I switch from CC version back to CS6?

I quit my CC account and decided to go back to a CS6 version of Adobe Design and web premium. The serial number is correctly listed in my creative cloud account and when I re-installed CS6 I input the correct serial numbers. However, whenever I go to start Photoshop or any other program, it wants me to renew my Creative Cloud membership. I am on a Mac OS X Yosemite.

Hi Ldifraia,
You might try using the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool to remove your Adobe ID info
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
If you're continuing to have difficulties after entering your serial number be sure nothing is blocking activation on your system
Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
Hope that helps,

File Associations Did Not Update and Cannot Be Changed To Photoshop CS6

Changing a file association is a simple matter you either do it in Windows Explorer in the properties or just use the edit in command in bridge.
Except that neither is working.
Photoshop CS6 is not even showing up as an option in either Explorer or in Bridge but it is ironically working in Lightroom.
So again before someone doesn't bother to read this: I know how to change file associations. I know the normal steps and it should be easy.
It is not working and it is a pain in the you know what.

Yes I've been through it pretty thoroughly.
It seems Photoshop failed to register itself when installed so now "maybe" if I redo all of the installations including Alien Skin, OnOne, DxO, etc it might work?
This is really irritatingly buggy.
It does not even show up as an option anywhere in Bridge presently that i can see.

How to revert back previous working files in InDesign CS6?

I have suddenly replace wrong working files, how to revert back previous working files in InDesign CS 6?
OS Mac version: 10.10.3
InDesign CS6 version

This feature does not exist in InDesign. You're best hope is that you have a backup of the previous file. Moving forward, you might want to try a free product called Radish that allows you to save versions and revert back to previous versions when needed.
