How to set file bindings?

There must be an obvious way to do this, but I can't find it.
How do you set a *file type* to open with a specific application?
I can see how to set *individual documents* to open with a specific app, but not file types.
For example, "soundeffect.aif" opens with iTunes by default. By right-clicking and selecting Open With > Other, I can make ONLY "soundeffect.aif" open with another app (like Quicktime Player) by default. How can I globally set ALL aiff files to open with another app by default?

Select the file, CMD+I, set the open with to your choice and then click on the Change All button. Do note that means all aif files will open with that choice.

How to set file watcher

I want to know how to set file watcher for my sql database using java.
my doubt is i am running an web application in a web server.
the user information are stored one databse.
i want that user details in other databases.
it will do automatically.
when ever new values are stored one database then automatically that value transfered in other data base.
i want urgent.
please help me
thanks

It seems like the most natural way to do that would be with database triggers, if your DB allows its triggers to interact with the world outside the DB--e.g. invoking Java code, invoking some other process, opening a socket, etc.

How to Set File Handling on LIghtroom CC??

I was watching a you tube on Lightroom CC and the person is using a mac - I am on WIndows. The insructor selected the words "lightroom" to the left of "File" to get to catalogue settins. I don't see that option so that I can set file handling etc for preview size etc. I have already updated from my LR5 catalogue. So, how do I nagivate to these options and also how to navigate to set program to use my vidoe card for faster performance. Thank you.

I have already done that. That is the first thing I did as mentioned in my Thread. I have also added below 2 options in jdev.conf and restarted JDeveloper, but that also did not work.
AddVMOption -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
AddVMOption -Dsun.jnu.encoding=UTF-8

How to Set "file.encoding" System Property to default "UTF-8"

When i execute my code some special character are not being display correct so by programming approach i am trying to set "file.encoding" system property to "UTF-8", using command System.setProperty( "file.encoding", "UTF-8" ); and it is not working.
If i run my jar using command java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar myprog.jar . It is working and my special characters are also looking in right way.
Can i set this defalut encoding by programming approach.
Thanks
Ashish Pancholi

Hello,
I have the same problem. I have a java prog that is started with "-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1". Now in this program I want to print some characters using the UTF-8 encoding because I know that the terminal I will be printing on has this encoding. I tried using InputStramReader without success:
    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(new ByteArrayInputStream("Müller".getBytes()), "UTF-8");
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
    String line = null;
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
        System.out.println(line);
    }EDIT:
the above example is to read something into my java program. If I want to write something from my java class to an output it goes like this:
Writer out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(System.out, "UTF8"));
out.write("Müller\n");
out.flush();... in that case I get the correct encoding.
Thanks,

How to set file permissions for SFTP uploaded file?

Hello,
is it possible to set file permissions with the SDK for files uploaded via SFTP transfer? I use the default sample plugin ftp_upload.lrdevplugin to transfer the files, but would like to tweak it to set the uploaded file(s) to permission 644 (rw-,r--,r--) on Linux server. Currently the server sets new file(s) by default to 600 (rw-,---,---).
I am looking for an option to do the "chmod" directly from Lightroom without doing any modificatios in general to default umask, etc. settings on the server. No real UI is needed for this. Just hardcoded setting for 644 in the .lua.
So far I've been unsuccesful in finding the way. Googled, read this forum, looked at the API. Maybe I just missed it, or does this functionality exist?
All advice is appreciated!
Cheers,
Timo

Niel's suggestion is good. You might also try posting your question in the Tiger Server forums. I'm sure Tiger Server has several ways of dealing with this.

How to set file names?

Using TCS 5, RH11, FM12, all patched up, if I set a marker, such as "Filename" in FrameMaker, can RoboHelp use the contents of that marker to set the file name of the HTML file it creates? How? Thoughts?
Cheers,
Sean

Hi,
Thanks for working with me on this. I appreciate your help. The last time I used RoboHelp was when Blue Sky owned it, at the original version 6. I see it has aged logically.

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 set "Files of type" when using a "File Browse" item.

Apex 4.0.2
Internet Explorer 7 +
I have a "File Browse" item on a page and need to limit the types of files display to just "text (.txt)" files. How can this be done? Currently, the "Files of type" list shows "All File (*.*)", "Pictures (*.gif,*.png)", and HTML (*.htm,*.html)". In the best case, I would like to not have the "Files of type" list and have the user just limited to text files. However, adding Text files (*.txt)" to the "Files of type" list is ok.
thanks,
William

Thought i'd do a bit of research after seeing Scotts wonderful ideas.
So it turns out, IE made the file item read only from version 8, for security reasons. Read more: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/07/02/ie8-security-part-v-comprehensive-protection.aspx
File Upload Control
Historically, the HTML File Upload Control (<input type=file>) has been the source of a significant number of information disclosure vulnerabilities. To resolve these issues, two changes were made to the behavior of the control.
To block attacks that rely on “stealing” keystrokes to surreptitiously trick the user into typing a local file path into the control, the File Path edit box is now read-only. The user must explicitly select a file for upload using the File Browse dialog.
Additionally, the “Include local directory path when uploading files” URLAction has been set to "Disable" for the Internet Zone. This change prevents leakage of potentially sensitive local file-system information to the Internet. For instance, rather than submitting the full path C:\users\ericlaw\documents\secret\image.png, Internet Explorer 8 will now submit only the filename image.png.To resetting the actual items, suggestions I found were to replace the actual item. So instead of using $s, I just replace the element, with the existing element, causing it to re-initialise.
var htmldb_delete_message='"DELETE_CONFIRM_MSG"';
function fileCheck(el){
    if(el.value){
        var validFile = false;
        var validExtensions = ["csv"];
        var filename = el.value;
        var fileExtIndex = filename.lastIndexOf(".");
        var fileExt = filename.substring(fileExtIndex+1, filename.length);
        for(i = 0; i < validExtensions.length; i++){
            if(validExtensions[i] == fileExt){
                validFile = true;
                break;
        if ( !validFile || fileExtIndex == -1) {
            alert("Invalid Extension. Permitted files must end with: " + validExtensions.toString());
            var htmlContents = el.outerHTML || new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(el);
            $('#P16_BINARY').replaceWith(htmlContents);
}(obviously, replacing what you need to, to suit your page - i prefer scotts idea of passing in supported file types in the function, so would just pass in an array instead; but this is just for demonstration)
with an onchange="checkFile(this)" on the element attributes.
On a slightly un-related note, I found out IE doesn't support the wonderful indexOf function on arrays, that checks for the existence of the value in an array. Sucks.

Ah well, jQuery is there, maybe i should use that for searching arrays in the future.

How to set file opening preference in OS 10.5

I have around 1500 Census files which are JPEGS, and they opened nicely with Preview. Today, I loaded most of iLife (iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD and iWeb). Now, for some reason, every one of those files wants to be opened with Adobe Illustrator which is far from optimal for viewing them. Preview is not even recognized now by the operating system as a means of opening JPEGS, and it refuses to open them even though it is open and running.
Is it possible somewhere in the operating system to specify what piece of software has a preference to open a certain type of file? All of those files which once has as their opening preference Preview have now been converted to Adobe Illustrator.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Kappy, that did not work. I did a Google search on the subject and learned about an app called RCDefaultApp. I downloaded that and placed it in my Library file as directed. I then closed System Preferences and reopened it. The app showed up on the far left of the "Other" line of System Preferences.
This let me set default apps for each "extension." Sure enough, Illustrator was set to open jpeg, jpg, JPG, JPEG and PNG files. I changed all of them to Preview. Well, it still didn't work. Even though Preview was open and actually allowing me to view one of these files, it would not let me open another one of them.
About ready to tear my hair out, I decided if all else fails restart the computer. That fixed the problem. It appears the opening preferences got returned to their original values. The files now open with Preview.
Interestingly, when I started installing iLife, there was a warning that I would have to restart my computer when the software was loaded. I omitted GarageBand which I don't need. There was never any alert that the software was loaded and I should restart my computer. So, I didn't. Maybe some corruption crept in as a result.
While at it, I also went into Finder preferences and checked the block under Advanced to show all extensions. Quite a few of those census files had none, and they do now.
Preview is working now and is opening all those files. I also tried two small PNGs which I trashed because they would not open, and they work, too. Happiness!!

How to set File Encoding to UTF-8 On Save action in JDeveloper 11G R2?

Hello,
I am facing issue when I am modifying a File using JDeveloper 11G R2. JDeveloper is changing the Encoding of the File to System default Encoding (ANSI) instead of UTF-8. I have updated the Encoding to UTF-8 in "Tools | Preferences | Environment | Encoding" option and restarted the JDeveloper. I have also updated "Project Properties | Compiler | Character Encoding" option to UTF-8. None of them are working.
I am using below version of JDeveloper,
Oracle JDeveloper 11g Release 2 11.1.2.3.0
Studio Edition Version 11.1.2.3.0
Product Version: 11.1.2.3.39.62.76.1
I created a file in UTF-8 Encoding. I opened it, do some changes and Save it.
When I open the "Properties" tab using "Help | About" Menu, I can see that the Properties of JDeveloper are showing encoding as Cp1252. Is it related?
Properties
sun.jnu.encoding
Cp1252
file.encoding
Cp1252
Any idea how to make sure JDeveloper saves the File in UTF-8 always?
- Sujay

I have already done that. That is the first thing I did as mentioned in my Thread. I have also added below 2 options in jdev.conf and restarted JDeveloper, but that also did not work.
AddVMOption -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
AddVMOption -Dsun.jnu.encoding=UTF-8

How to set file permission using Oracle FTP Adapter

Hi,
I am using Oracle SOA Suite 11.1.1.4. I am trying to put a file using Oracle FTP adapter on unix box. The file that gets written to target system has file permission as RW/R/R. But this is a legacy system, and for them to consume this file - they expect the file permission to be RW/RW/R.
They have set the .profile with the required permissions for the ftp user account that we are using. But still when my BPEL process writes a file to unix box through ftp adapter, the file permission is RW/R/R.
Is there any way to control file permissions while writing files using ftp adapter? Any help would be highly appreciated.

907597 wrote:
But these setting needs to be done on unix server. Yes, that's the way to go... There's no config for that on FtpAdapter as far as I know...
This setting will enable the same configurations for all other ftp accounts on the server, which doesnt sound correct. Any other way of doing this? Or can this be done only for one ftp account?You have to check if your ftp server is capable of having different umask for different ftp users... I believe most do not...

How to set file extension?

Hello there,
I have added the ablility of saving the data in my program. I was wondering how do I restrict the file extension when the user wants to save the file?
What I mean is right now, when a user saves the data to file, they can choose the file name and the file extension. I do not want to allow them to choose file extension. I want to have a predefined extension, for example .usr or .dat.
I have seen this in many applications but I do not know how to implement this. I would appreciate it if someone could help me.
Thanks for your help!

How you are getting the fname from the user has an impact on how you do this, but not what needs to be done. What is required to have something that takes the fname from the user and parses it, extracting a fname. Once you have that, just append the extension that you want and save the file.
