How to show a downloads file size in the "Save As" dialog?

Hello,
I have been using Firefox off and on for the last year or so, and there's one thing that always gets me to stop using it, whenever I download a file I cant see the file size of it in the "Save As" dialog, Internet Explorer and Opera has this feature and it's one of the things that I really need, I have tried that extension that does this (I forget the name of it), but unfortunately it is not for Firefox 4 :(
Thanks you for your help :)

Hi,
Visit the following link for you addon:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/show-file-size/
This addon is incompatible for Firefox 4.0 RC. but you can add another addon in firefox to make it work: Addon Compatibility reporter. 1st install this addon and then install your " Show file size addon" it should work then.
Addon compatibility reporter addon link:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Hope this resolves your issue:

Can anybody help me with this??? What is lacking...
Thank you in advance.

Put this code into a servlet rather than a JSP.
JSP are for returning text based HTML pages. It adds extra carriage returns into the response that will corrupt the file, and prevent the dialog showing up.
This code is much better off being in a servlet
If you are using a FileInputStream, you should be using a ServletOutputStream rather than the JSP writer: response.getOutputStream()
When dealing with file input in a JSP/Servlet you should use the methods of ServletContext. getRealPath() turns a website relative file into a real location on disk. getResourceAsStream() opens the file for you. getResourceAsStream() is more reliable as it will work even if the web app is deployed in a packed WAR.

How to show photos at 100% size in the Edit window?

Background: I am using iWeb 1.1.1 to re-make my .Mac Homepage website; I love this newer, more flexible application and I love using iPhoto 6.0.4 with it.
My iPhoto 6.0.4 question:
How can I get the photos to show in their maximum size in the Edit box? There are some photos that I want to show as large as possible or even enlarge, and when the photos show at smaller than their exposed size, I feel disadvantaged.
I welcome any advice you send. I am feeling a bad crunch right now because my graphics program of choice, Photoshop Elements 2, is not opening up for me (It's been stopping at the point where the message says: "Photoshop is not sending any personal information") and I cannot find the CD right now. It's here somewhere but...........

I welcome any advice you send. I am feeling a bad
crunch right now because my graphics program of
choice, Photoshop Elements 2, is not opening up for
me (It's been stopping at the point where the message

This is very easy to fix. There are many threads
here, at the Adobe forum and in any forum where PE is
mentioned. Quit PE, then take your computer totally
offline (unplug the ethernet cable, shut down airport
if that's what you use). Now launch PE, then go to
Preferences>Adobe Online and set Check for Updates to
Never. There never were any, never will be now for PE
2, so you won't miss anything.
Barbara..... if there never were any updates to PE2 and never will be any, then why would I need to disallow updates?
BTW, I discovered how to get the picture to show up full size. iPhoto 6 is different than iPhoto 4, and while experimenting with some edits I discovered the Small Head — Big Head toggle bar in the Edit Window, and that was my answer.

How do I force Firefox (6v02) to stop showing thumbnails of existing file(s) in the save-as dialog box?

I save files associated with similar objects using similar names (just a different extension, or numeric sequence). The save-as dialog box shows a list of existing files. When I choose one, with the intention of changing the file extension or the numeric sequence (e.g., choose 'file001.jpg' in order to rename the new file to be saved 'file002.mpg') the thumbnail associated with the one I select is shown on the right. I neither want nor need this time-consuming & memory-consuming process to take place. I would like to be able to disable this feature in order to allow me to do what I want directly and faster (P3/866MHz/512MB).

Perhaps, but the problem is I don't really know what to look for. I've tried doing a keyword search of the AIprefs file to find where ICC profiles and compression could be located but I couldn't find anything. Does anyone know what they are called and what I should modify?

Clicking on a file name in the Save As dialog removes the extension (.html or .jpg)

In previous versions of (any) browser I could save a web page, and if there were more than one page, as in a thread in a forum, I used to be able to click on the saved file, "file 01.html" in the Save as dialog, it would show up as "file 01.html" and I could change the 01 to 02 for the second page, ie "file 02.html"
But now when I click on the file name it shows as "file 01", the .html disappears. Same for .jpg or any other extension.
This is very annoying, especially when I find a long, multipage thread on a subject I want to read later offline.
Bug or Feature? Either way I don't like it.
How can I change it back?
Thanks,
David

I have seen that as well. If I change the name of a .jpg picture I am downloading, I have to add back the extension into the file name. If I do not change the name, the extension is kept.

How do I automatically keep settings unchecked in the 'save as' dialog box?

Hey guys,
I use Illustrator CS6. Every day I modify and then save lots of graphics in illustrator. I do a lot of “saving as” with files so that I can see what is selected in the Illustrator options panel. I have to make sure that:
-Create pdf compatible file
-Embed ICC Profiles
-Use Compression
are all deselected (Turned off) before I save. I would like to save time and automatically have none of these items checked when I go to save. I’ve already figured out how to keep ‘create pdf compatible file’ unchecked all the time: by modifying the AI preferences file and specifying “0” next to PDFCompatibility.
Does anyone know how I can modify the others to keep them unchecked? Are they specified as well somewhere in the AIPrefs file? Thanks!

Perhaps, but the problem is I don't really know what to look for. I've tried doing a keyword search of the AIprefs file to find where ICC profiles and compression could be located but I couldn't find anything. Does anyone know what they are called and what I should modify?

Script to "Optimize to file size" (automatically) in "Save for Web"?

Hello, all,
I'm a novice when it comes to scripts in Photoshop, but I'm really coming to the conclusion that this is the only way to automate the actions I need to do, whithout having to do it one-by-one.
Is it possible to write a Script to automatically choose the option (and settings) to "Optimize to file size" in the "Save for Web" dialog?
Is it also possible to save the file in the document's original folder, instead of a single specific folder, using "Save for Web"?
I have a really big number of different files (some .JPEG, some .PNG, some .TIFF) and I need to generate a single "reference.jpg" in each one of those original folders. It's quite easy to use whatever method to separate all those files in some lists and later open them in Photoshop in small subgroups of files.
I only have a restriction of size (60Kb) for those "reference.jpg" files, and I would like to save all of them, in each document original folder, with the best possible quality within that size constraint.
Here's my problem:
I can easily do that with a very simple action, but, that specific way, I have no control whatsoever over the resulting filesize of those "reference.jpg" files generated. Moreover, I also find the "save for web" command create a more "slim" file, allowing for better quality within my size constraint.

"I can’t make that out in the ScriptingListener code, but maybe someone else knows better or has a Script for the task already.
I seem to remember a thread where it was discussed to save a copy, check its size and overwrite it with different settings if it was too big … that should be possible, but may run longer."
Many, many thanks for your reply, c.pfaffenbichler! I spend the whole day (and night) yesterday learning (or rather trying to learn) about javascript, OOP, and how it should be applied in Photoshop's Scripts.
I was able to modify some snippets of code I found on the web to suit my needs (temporarily):
//SaveforWebSP.jsx
//Save a fixed width image with a size constraint in its original folder
var docRef = activeDocument;
var outputFolder = docRef.path;
NamesaveRef = new File( outputFolder + "/reference.jpg" );
var NewfileRef = new File( NamesaveRef )
// quality/size constraints
var w = 300; // new file width
var MaxSz = 61440; // max. 60Kb
var Qlt = 100; // initial quality 100
var x = 1; // decreasing step
// resize the image to the right width
docRef.resizeImage(UnitValue(w,"px"),null,100,ResampleMethod.BICUBICSHARPER);
// Perform the first SaveForWeb Operation
ExpWeb(NewfileRef, Qlt);
// Keep trying to save the file with max. Qlt, but under MaxSz
while (NewfileRef.length > MaxSz)
      Qlt = Qlt - x;
      NewfileRef = new File( NewfileRef );
      NewfileRef.remove();
      ExpWeb(NewfileRef, Qlt); // Perform a new SaveForWeb Operation, with slightly lower Qlt
         if (Qlt <= 50) {
           alert("The file can't be saved with the desired size AND quality.");
           break // break the loop whenever the quality is as low as 50 (this shouldn't need to happen)
var FileSz = NewfileRef.length/1024;
FileSz = Math.round(FileSz);
// close the original file without saving
activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
// SaveForWeb Export, with the desired constraints and parameters
function ExpWeb(FileNm, Qlt)
      var options = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
      options.quality = Qlt;   // Start with highest quality (biggest file).
      options.format = SaveDocumentType.JPEG;   // Save Format for the file
      docRef.exportDocument(File(FileNm), ExportType.SAVEFORWEB, options);
This works, but it takes a long time and keep the HD disk "going crazy" during the time it is processing the images.
This is too bad, because the "Optimize to file size" dialog in the "Save for Web" would have been so much faster, efficient and much less "disk-intensive"...

How do I show file size in the Finder icon view for images?

How can I add the file size to the icon view "File Info" for images?
I know how to get it to display the image size under View Options. In this mode it shows pixel dimensions for some images (not for svg or pdfs tho) and file size for some non-images (rar, zip, but not txt or plain text files).
Is there some plist I can modify?

In iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

in iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

It's rather more complicated that this.
iPhoto is a lossless editor. You don't lose any quality on your shot in iPhoto.
The file size you see reported is the size of your iPhoto Preview: this is what gets used if you access the data via a media browser. It's a "good-enough-for-most-uses" version of the shot. Email it, upload to websites, use it in Presentation, Word processing file etc
If you want to set the quality yourself then Export the photo using the File -> Export command.
You can choose to export to Jpeg, Tiff or png. Tiff is lossless but the file sizes are up to 10 times larger. Jpeg allows you to choose different qualities: High, Medium or low. The difference is the amount of compression involved. High quality means very little compression. It's not unusual for photos exported at this setting to have a larger file size than the original.
Which setting you choose depends on the use you intend. Further editing, printing then high is important. Sending to Facebook? Well low will do just fine there as they're going to trash the file anyway.
But the key point: the file size only becomes an issue when you export.

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

How to create a smallest file size pdf from indesign CS4 document

How to create a smallest file size pdf (suitable for upload to a website) from indesign CS4 document which contains multiple illustrator CS4 illustrations.
I have chosen the "smallest file size option" but the pdf file is over 30MB, can anyone help please.
Thank you

One trick is to
Set the placed graphics to have a transparency of 99.9% (you can do this with Find/Change and select Objects)
This is enough to force the graphics throught the Transparency Flattener
Next set the Transparency Blend Space to RGB (Edit>Transparency Blend Space)
Next set a custom Transparency Flattner Preset Edit>Transparency Flattner
Next
Use File>Export and choose
Smallest file size
PDF Compatibility Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)
In Advanced Section - go to transparency and selec the new Flattener Preset you created.
*this will convert your vectors to raster, but it should reduce your file size

How do I find a file size for a project in its entirety ???, How do I find a file size for a project in its entirety ???

How do I find a file size for a aperture project in its entirety ????

You can't. The Aperture library is a combination of database and flat files, a project can be split among multiple files in combination with other projects. The size of any of those files (or a sum of the files) would have no meaning concerning the size of a project.
BTW typing in a large bold font like you did is seen by many in then on-line community as a sign of shouting and is considered bad form. I'm sure you didn't mean to shout at us here as we are all just users here freely giving of our time to try and help folk like yourself so please in the future use the standard font.

How do I reduce a file size in workspace?

How do I reduce a file size in workspace?

There is no mechanism in Workspaces for reducing file size.

In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)

In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to Firefox 4 (beta)

Firefox 3.6.* and earlier set the downloaded file's modification time to the current time. In Firefox 4.0 the behavior has been changed, if a server returns a timestamp telling when the file was last modified (Last-Modified header), it is used instead.
You can revert to the previous behaviour by using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/93121/ Download Timestamp] add-on.
