.ics file opened as plain text

Hi,
I create a hyperlink to an .ics file on my webpage. But it always show the plain text in the browser instead of download the file. Could anyone help?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
You can try to configure .ics file types as '''application/octet-stream'''.

  • Number format changed after opening a plain text file in Excel

    Hi,
    I have an urget need to understand about how to open a plain text file in Excel with numbers displayed as is. The text file is tab delimited. Right now, extra digits (0, or 00 ) are added. For example, 31:16 from text file is displayed as 31:16:00,
    15:0 becomes 15:00, 6:5 becomes 6:05. How to display the numbers as they are in the original text file?
    Thank you very much for the help.
    Amy

    This is a annoying problem.
    Excel will try to guess the data type if you leave the cell formatting as general.This happens a lot with specific numerical entries that could be confused as dates.e.g. 12:0,1-5 etc.Unfortunatley We can't tell Excel to stop reading it as a date, but what you
    can do is tell it to display the date how you want it.
    In addtion,in order to avoid confusion and keep track of troubleshooting steps, we usually troubleshoot one issue per thread. So if you need any further help, please create a new post.Thanks for your understanding.

  • Attachment opens as plain text when opened from outside outlook but original format is html...

    Hello all,
    I have a strange issue with some mails where the attachments which are normally in html format are opening as plain text with an empty body (when opened outside outlook). As soon as i move them to outlook then they open correctly. I already tried many things
    like checking if it could be the antivirus that messed up the html or the security settings in outlook none of these worked.
    Did someone of you already experienced that ?
    Thanks for your support.

    Hello Melianos,
    What application do you use for opening emails with attachments? What code do you use? Could you please be more specific?

  • Autosave file is in Plain Text, can't open

    I have my autosave folder on another computer at another location so I had my friend email me the autosave folder, only now I can't open them because they came over as plain text files. Is there a way to change them to fCP project files so I can open them in FCP?

    I just tried emailing a working autosave file to myself from MAIL and it worked fine, came through as final cut pro project file, but then I tried it again through safari and if came through as Plain Text. The guy at the other end told me he sent it from MAIL though, unless he was confused. Is there some setting in mail that would need to be changed to not convert the autosave file to plain text.

  • All attachments opening as plain text

    Apparently without any changing of settings the mail program is opening all attachments as plain text. This occurs although the program is available to open the attachment. I know the attachments can be saved to the desktop and then opened, but this causes clutter and many attachments are not worthy of saving. Any suggestions on restoring the mail program to seeking the proper application to match the attachment. I have tried searching all the menus and cannot get View>message>best alternative to be highlighted and selectable. Thank you for any suggestions.

    ''re: not displaying any incoming messages with html.''
    Do you have this setting ?
    'View' > 'Message Body as ' > 'Original HTML'
    BTW - you may prefer to see all the toolbars. They can be enabled - see image below.

  • Dbl-click ics file opens iCal, but no event is created; import works

    I have an ics file that opens iCal when I double-click it (either the file in the Finder, or the same file as an attachment in Mail). However, the event described in the ics file is not created.
    When I use File->Import in iCal, and select the same file, it asks me to choose the calendar and then the event is created.
    Why the different behavior? I would expect dbl-clicking to work exactly the same as doing an Import.
    This is iCal 4.0.3

    I think I have solved my problem. I could not get v2 to import to v4 so I was trying to sync to .Mac, then use Mobile Me to bring it down to the new computer and I have succeeded.
    On the old laptop, I had to use the RESET SYNC info in the ADVANCED button to make the direction of the data go from the original computer to .Mac, then do the same on the new one to make it go from .Mac to the v4 iCal.
    This is how you change the direction of the data when it says it's going to add 1 item and erase 240 but you want to do this the other way around!
    I am not sure if this solves the problem of the iPhone but there has to be a way to reverse the direction of the sync on there too.

  • .ics files open in new window instead of downloading

    Hello -
    When I click to download a linked .ics (calendar) file, instead of downloading the linked .ics file, it opens the contents of the file in a new browser window (and all of the info is garbled with extra characters).
    When I right click to save the linked file, it lets me download it.
    Any idea why this might be happening?

    The Work Protect modes do not seem to affect the 'Open in a headerless portal window' iViews which are opening with the banner and TLN.
    For ESS Appraisal document, I was able to fix the problem of the external window having the Banner and TLN by using transaction lpd_cust.
    The problem still exists for our Business Packages MSS, SRM, Course Administration, and Instructor/Tutor.
    Does anyone know how to correct the 'headerless portal window' so that it does not include the Theme banner and TLN.
    Thanks,

  • Finder - Set file icon as plain text

    I would like to know if there is a way to set files of a certain extention (in this case, .tex files) to be displayed as text files in finder. And no, I'm not talking about Quick Look, because when I press the space bar, the file does come up as a textfile would, i.e. Quick Look displays it as a text file. I'm talking about the icon that finder uses to display the file. Right now, Finder uses the icon of the default program used to open the file (TeXMaker). I would like it to display the .tex file just like a .txt file, i.e. the icon is "a sheet of paper with text on it".
    I hope you can help me.

    At first, when I used an other program for editing .tex files (TexShop), the .tex files were displayed as text files. They changed, however, when I installed TeXmaker and set it as the default program.

  • Encrypt file without the plain text extension

    hi
    I am encrypting a txt file using GnuPG. The command that i am using encrypts the file and puts .gpg extension to the plain text extension. For example if my plain text file is test.txt after encryption the file name becomes test.txt.gpg. My requirement is that the encrypted file should not have the plaintext extension. So the encrypted should be test.gpg instead of test.txt.gpg? Is this possible? If yes, please give me some ideas
    Thanks in advance

    Unless I am much mistaken, the gpg command has nothing to do with Java programming whatsoever. Your question is 100% off topic. Locking the thread.

  • With "Download Headers" option checked, opening plain text emails results in cropped body text

    When I open raw plain text emails (i.e. not formatted as HTML) I only see the first
    255 characters of the email body; all of the remainder is chopped off, and never appears no matter how many times I re-open the email.
    I have narrowed this down to my somewhat unusual download preferences in Outlook. They are configured as follows:
      Send/Receive -> Download Preferences -> Download Headers (checked).
    I know the email text is there in full, because when I point my web browser at OWA, I can see the full body.
    If at first I choose Mark to Download and then Process Marked Headers, I can then open the plain text email and see the body in full.
    When I open HTML emails I have no problems, regardless of whether the email download was forced or not.
    This issue existed on my old Office 2010 installation for XP too. It persists now I have upgraded to Office 2013 on Win 7.
    This is not an acknowledged issue yet within the Outlook team (in fact, a possibly related issue was
    reported by someone else 3 months ago but suggested to be a font corruption issue, which is incorrect).
    It seems like Outlook just forgets to download the full text for plain text emails when opening them. It's repeatable every time, so it doesn't seem like a race condition. (To reproduce: set your Inbox download preferences as above, then send
    yourself a plain text email, wait for the Inbox headers to finish refreshing and then open the new email).
    We use a 3rd party provider (Cobweb) for our email service and I believe they are using Exchange 2013.
    We use ESET Smart Security Suite and I have tried disabling the scanner for that but see no change in the outcome. I would appreciate if anyone without ESET could try to reproduce these steps for themselves and confirm.
    Starting Outlook in Safe Mode does not solve it.
    Note: I already asked this
    question at the Office Community site and it was suggested I
    post on the Exchange Server Outlook Clients forum. The feedback there suggested it to be client related, so now I've been directed to post here!
    Thanks,
    Marcel

    Hi Melon, thanks for your response.
    My plain text font is set up as the default, Automatic.
    In any case, I can see the first 255 characters of the plain text body, so plain text font colour can be eliminated as a potential problem.
    After the 255th character, the body text then stops. There are no "hidden characters". If I shrink the window height to accommodate just what I see, the vertical scrollbar does not appear. This confirms that there are no hidden lines of text
    below.
    The mail is simply not downloaded from the server correctly. If I drag the mail onto my desktop, then view that file in Programmer's Notepad, I can see that after the position representing the 255th character in the body of the email, there is garbage (control
    characters).
    If, instead, I first mark the email for downloaded and then click the "process marked headers", wait for it to download and then drag it onto my desktop, by contrast, the body contents look complete and this is reflected in the fact that I can
    see the whole email when I open it in Outlook.
    This problem has so far affected me on four different PC setups (1xWinXP, 3xWin7) and two versions of Outlook (2010 and 2013). However, Cobweb -- our cloud email provider -- did recently upgrade to Exchange 2013, so that might be an important factor.
    I don't think I can remember seeing these plain text issues in the 10 years previous to that upgrade during which I've been using various flavours of Outlook.
    I have supplied repro steps in the original report above. Could someone please try these? I have expanded them in full below for simplicity:
    To reproduce:
    1. Change your download preferences in Outlook. They are configured from the ribbon bar as follows (assuming you are using Outlook in Cached Exchange mode, connecting to Exchange 2013):
      Send/Receive -> Download Preferences -> Download Headers (checked).
    2. Send yourself a plain text email containing more than 300 characters of text.
    3. Wait for the Inbox headers to finish refreshing.
    4. Open the new email.
    Result: The email body will be truncated at the 255th character.
    Expected: The email body should show all the characters.

  • PI removing blank spaces at the end of the lines in a plain text file

    Hi -
    I have an interface that transfers a file via FTP. I defined both the sender and receiver to transfer either Text or Binary but the interface removes every blank space I have after the last character. The file is a fixed lenght file.
    Example:
    Original file:
    Hello world(space)(space)(space)(space)(space)(space)(space)(space)(eol)
    where (space) is the space character and (eol) is the end of line char.
    File after it is received.
    Hello world(eol)
    I already defined the parameter Row.fieldFixedLenghts with 10164 which is the lenght of the lines of the file.
    Any ideas why it may be happening?
    Thanks,
    Carlos.

    Hi -
    I tried both the parameters:
    xml.fieldContentFormatting
    structure.fieldContentFormatting
    The received file still has the problem. All the blank spaces are cleared out.
    The file is a plain text file not an XML file. May this be the issue?
    Thanks,
    Carlos.

  • Which encoding uses XI internally for plain text files

    Hi,
    I want to read in (via file adapter) some plain texts of different character encoding and map them via a Java mapping file.
    My question is now, which encoding does the internally XI bytestream have?
    Does the XI file adapter convert it to UTF-8 or keeps it the encoding which is configured in the file adapter?
    Is there a way to retrieve the correct encoding within my Java mapping?
    Kind regards,
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    When you declare the file as "text" and apply the correct encoding, then the file adapter converts the file to UTF-8.
    When you declare the file as "binary", then the file adapter leaves the file as is, but in this case you have no information about the code page in Java Mapping.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • Csv files open rather than download

    Hello,
    We've just set up a new Communigate Pro mail server. However, our Safari users are experiencing a bit of a quirk when it comes to accessing their attachments. When clicking on the download link for an attachment of content-type text/csv, the attachment opens as plain text in a new Safari window by default rather than it being downloaded. The user can option-click to force it to download, but I'd rather it download by default, as is the case with Firefox. Is there a preferences setting I can change to make this happen?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Hi Bill,
    There's no setting you can set in Safari to make it download a particular file. I don't know anything about Communigate but can you modify it to specify a content-disposition header for the csv files? E.g.
    Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="mydatafile.csv"
    The 'Content-Disposition' header will tell the browser to download the file rather than view it inline.

  • Launching .ics file from a website?

    i'm trying to provide ical and outlook files for guests to an event. i've linked both an .ics file (for iCal users) and a .vcs file (for Outlook) from the website, yet when a user clicks on either link, code is displayed onscreen as opposed to a prompt to download the file. is there a way to launch these links as file downloads w/o having to zip them? numerous calendar and invitation sites provide this feature, but they are dynamically creating the .ics and .vcs files - though they do end up as downloaded files.
    (www.cindyandkenny.com/test > click 'when & where' to see the iCal and Outlook links)
    thanks.

    Hi Kenny,
    The .ics file opens in iCal for me. The .vcs file opens as text. This is probably a mime type problem.
    You might want to try adding a htaccess file to your site including the following lines:
    AddType text/x-vCalendar .vcs
    AddType text/Calendar .ics
    Best wishes

  • Quick Look of Plain Text Got Messed Up

    Hi,
    As a web designer, I often work with text files and I use Quick Look a lot to view my files quickly without opening any application.
    Normally all plain text files such as .txt .html .css .php .srt etc. are shown in a monospace typeface in front of a white background. Other formatted text files such as .rtf are shown in the font as formatted (duh).
    Recently the Quick Look of my plain text file are shown in a Serif typeface on a yellowish background. This is annoying since I really like to have my plain text files shown in "plain text". The formatted text files are shown correctly, however.
    I have a suspicion that this is cause by Writer Pro app because I installed it recently. And the font and background in Quick Look seems just like those in Writer Pro.
    I've checked in /System/Library/QuickLook and nothing is suspicious and the modified time of the folder is long time ago before the issue occured. The /Library/QuickLook is fine as well, only iBooksAuthor.qlgenerator and iWork.qlgenerator are there.
    Question:
    How to set this back to default?
    How to tweak the style of Quick Look if it is tweakable?
    Thanks for your time and attention.

    I was not able to find any "report a problem" on the order status page.
    I did wander about the Apple website and I finally found a form where I could report a problem with a print product. Apple could not have done a better job hiding the ability to report that something didn't go correctly.
    I filled out the form and submitted it. Apple simply spat back some gibberish about security and encryption and suggested I upgrade to a newer browser. I'm using Internet Explorer 11, for crying out loud. I tried to back out to recover what I had written but it was lost.
    Apple is really slipping now. This is three unpleasent experiences in a row - a bad order, awful chat support (from two different people - although I'm not convinced they were real people), and now a difficult to navigate and, in the end, buggy website for reporting problems. This is not good enough. I spent $345 on three books and am so far not very satisfied.
