ID Mac, save as and file extension questions

I'm converting a bunch of Quark files over to ID and have a few niggles that I need help with:
1. Can ID be configured so that it doesn't save the .indd extension every time (when writing a PostScript file as well).
2. Every time the Save/Save As dialog opens it's a small window & I have to drag the corner to enlarge, is there a way to make it stick?
TIA,
Geoff

No, nor should you. This isn't OS9.
Those file extension should be left alone.

Preview.app remember save path and file extension

In Snow Leopard version of Preview.app, it would remember the path to where you have saved the previous file. I do a lot of cropping and color correction with preview and loved the way it worked in Snow Leopard. Now I have to drill down in the folder structure every time I save a file. Is there a way to have the new preview remember the last saved file path.
Another thing that has always bothered me with either version is the default file type for pictures. I would like to change the default from png to jpg.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Steve

I very strongly agree.
The user should be able to choose a default type for export.
Iterated exports should go to the same directory as the previous export by default. The first export of a series is not iterated, so it must have its parent directory chosen.

FileSaveService ignored the file name and file extensions

I am using the JNLP API to build a JWS application. When using the FileSaveService, I found it automaticlly ignored the file name and file extensions I passed to the 'FileSaveService.saveFileDialog()'.
My code is like the following:
String[] xtns = {"csv"};
FileContents fileContents = fileSaveService.saveFileDialog(
".", xtns, stream, "testFile"); Im running this application in JRE version 1.6.0_20-b02 in Windows XP.
Although in the JNLP API, it said the file name and file extension 'might be ignored by the JNLP client', I still wonder if anyone has a better solution for this?
Thanks very much :)

Type some characters into the text area then activate the 'Save File' button. Do you get a file chooser that defaults to (.zzz) extension?
Then if yes, and that is a 'better solution' for you, then yes, I have one. The code of the demo. can be downloaded at a link just to the right of the launch link.

Automatically open file based on MIME type and file extension

We have an app that is registered to handle custom MIME type and file extension. This works perfectly on IE and FireFox causing them to download the file to a temp folder and then launch our app associated with MIME type and file extension with command line to the downloaded file. On Safari however this does not work. It opens up a download window and shows that it has downloaded the file with no option to open it.

Time Machine and File Vault question

I just completed a clean install of OS x mavericks and then used my time machine back up to restore the mac.
The whole process was confusing for many reasons and I just want to get some clarification/verification on my next actions.
When I enter time machine preferences and click select disk. It gives me two choices. One in the group Back Up Disks and One in available disks. The confusing I have is that it is the same external hd. So which should I pick if I want to keep my original time machine backups?
The other question I have is, this whole journey started with me wanting to turn on file vault. I am using a late 2012 Mac Mini updated to Mavericks came with Mountain Lion.
Should I be able to use both an encrypted time machine (external hd) and file vault?
Thanks for the help.

The difference is that do yo want to combine the backus you made before with the previous backups (group Back Up Disks) or start a whole new backup (available disks). Either option will retain the previous backups unless you overtly delete them. I would select that later to start a new set of backups.

Safari Freezes in Yosemite on File/Save As and File/Export As pdf

Since I installed Yosemite a few days ago I can no longer save a webpage to a file or export to a pdf. All I get is the spinning beach ball on top of a finder window and need force quit safari.
The same problem occurs in Safe Mode. The problem does not exist when I log-in as Guest. I tried deleting the safari cache and removing extensions and plug-ins.
The problem appears to be linked some how to my user account.

Looking at the system log messages, I solved my own problem.
Seeing Dropbox in the list a few times led me to conclude Dropbox was the problem. When I pause synching on Dropbox, everything works perfectly.

Adobe Bridge CC Batch Rename and File Extensions

I use Adobe Bridge CC on my macbook pro that is running OS X 10.8.5 When I batch rename files within Bridge it automatically drops the file extension. I am able to add the extension within the naming process but would prefer if it simply defaulted to the existing extension of the files being renamed. On occasion it does do this and then the next time it is gone. What am I doing wrong?

I don't think there is any way in which you can add to the built-in functions…
Unless this is actually provided by one of the Adobe start-up scripts… ( I've not see it when digging about )
You would probably need a scripted solution that can give you drop down menu of the extra options you want.

Have PC connect to internet through Mac with firewire and file sharing

Hi, I have a network of 2 computers, one Mac and the another PC. The Mac is connected to the internet and the PC is connect to the Mac through firewire. I have managed to set up a file sharing system, both Mac and PC read each other without any third party applications. This is working great, however, the two computers successfully connect only when the PC is turned on first, or else the Mac will say that there is no device connected to the Firewire port. If the Mac is on, and then the PC gets turned on, I have to restart the Mac in order for the connection to be established. Is this normal? Is there a fix for this?
I'm also interested in having internet on the PC as well. How will I be able to do this through a firewire cable?
Thanks

Early Mac Pro EFI and 64 bit Question

I have an early Mac Pro 2006 and have been unable to successfully install Windows 7 64 bit due to EFI incompatibility (after installation was able to boot to safe mode but unable to otherwise boot; device manager shows that MacPro incompatible).
My question is why Apple has not provided a firmware update for the early MacPros that includes the newer EFI version present in current generation MacPros??

Let's see, different motherboard and you don't think that matters? the front side bus and memory operate differently, the PCI slots are configured different.
You can't just "update" firmware to cross those bridges. And I'm sure there is even more involved between EFI32 and UEFI 2.x (EFI64).
Vista SP1 wasn't out in 2006, and UEFI wasn't finalized and supported yet.
Apple never provided 64-bit drivers for Windows on the 1st generation Mac Pro, and none of the iMac series has had UEFI or 64-bit endorsements.
You figured out how to install Windows 7 from inside Vista, and probably how to get Boot Camp 64-bit. All you probably need is a small Vista or Windows 7 32-bit system partition to carry you forward.

Aspect Ratio and file extension

Using the AC_Quicktime.js:
If I have a .mov file and change the extension to .tst or something ambiguous quicktime can still play the movie. If however I put the parameter "scale","aspect" quicktime seems to no longer be able to tell that this is a .mov file.
Any thoughts? Is there another parameter I need to use to make it work, or will I need the proper file extensions to play a movie in aspect mode?
Thanks.

I changed the file extension so when I upload the file to the active directory that gets sync'ed with the back end software there would be no partial files.
As intended:
Step 1) Upload the file with its actual file extension.
Step 2) Change the extension to .tst to let the back end system know it's ready for download.
Plenty of work arounds here for me obviously, just they require an extra step. For example.
Step 1) Change extension to .tst
Step 2) Upload File
Step 3) Change extension to actual extension so backend knows its ready to download.
Ya the tofit reacts the same way, I haven't tried specifying the third scale parameter option, but if I leave the scale parameter out QT can play the movie with no problem (just not expanding with different resolutions). I just wondered if there was another parameter value pair I needed to make it not worry about extension, it's not a problem I can't get around though.
Also, not sure this will make a difference, but i've been using a width and height of 100%.

Getting new Mac for Aperture and have a question...

I totally realize that this is a personal preference with no "wrong" way to do it. However, I would appreciate some thoughts so I can form a better idea of how I will set up an Aperture workflow that will work for me for a long time and how to configure my new iMac.
I use the referenced library workflow and store both my masters and Aperture library on my current internal drive with both backed up to externals. I'm getting a new Mac with the SSD drive for apps and OS (and Aperture library as well). The question is, should I get the mega 2 TB internal HDD along with that SSD for all my masters (which would also include my music and home-made movies)?
My current photo storage adds up to only 130GB right now and grows slowly. I don't even think I would double that in the next year. I realize that if I had, say, a 1.5 TB size Masters library, the the answer would be obvious that I would need to store externally because the iMac HDD isn't big enough. But that isn't my situation.
But since I would be able to fit all my photos on an internal HDD (2TB) to use as referenced, is there a better reason to skip the internal 2TB HDD and just get hooked up with some good, high-speed external system and stick with an internal SSD to just handle the OS, music, and apps? In other words, all my media (photos and movies) would always be stored AND edited from an external drive (I will actually edit on the SSD and then move the referenced files to the external). This means that from now on all new Macs I ever get will only need a moderate sized SSD for OS and apps. I would basicallt forever keep all things media on externals.
I hope this makes sense. Thanks for any help with this.

One other thing... the only way for me to get a 1GB VRAM now is to buy the top-of-the-line iMac. That's the issue.
I've seen that also. That's why I added the "If you can wait.." statement.
If you need to purchase before say late October, then the specs you list for the 21" iMac are quite good and the possibility of developers designing GPU threads that require caching in the VRAM may or may not need amounts beyond 512 MB. The fact that Apple offers an upgrade to the 2 GB VRAM video adapter on their high-end machine tells me that they know that the Pro Apps will be able to take advantage of that amount (not that it is necessary for the enthusiast looking to have a good Aperture experience).
SierraDragon has much more experience than I with Aperture, so he may be able to shed some light on this one.
For my part, I run a 17" MacBook Pro (late 2011) which has the 2.5 Ghz i7, 8 GB Apple provided RAM, and the AMD 6770 with 1 GB VRAM. I installed an OWC 480 GB SSD and I am connected to the Apple Thunderbolt Display (because this machine only offers a Thunderbolt port to connect video signals with). Aperture runs fine on my machine (although for some reason cropping takes a couple of seconds now, where it was immediate before the AP 3.3 update). I run Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 without any issues on this machine, so it is definitely capable of running in a professional environment.
Since your specs call-out a 2.8 Ghz i7, 16+ GB RAM and an SSD, I personally would not hesitate to purchase that machine if you need to purchase soon. I just mentioned the 1 GB VRAM due to your wanting to be able to handle 4+ years of updates to the OS and software. That doesn't mean the 512 GB VRAM won't work great, just that the 1 GB VRAM would be additional insurance (sort of like Apple Care).

"About This Mac" Storage Screen and Time Machine Question

Hello,
I've been poking around in Lion a bit, and noticed something odd...
When you go to About This Mac >> More info >> Storage, my external hard drive that only has my Time Machine backup on it is displayed entirely as "other" in the file-type breakdown. Thusly, all utilized space is shown as yellow, as opposed to the purple that would designate it as "backup" information.
Is there something wrong with my Time Machine backup, or are other people experiencing this as well? It just seems strange that the results of the built-in backup application are not recognized as a backup by Lion.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
-Kevin

Yes. The purple Backups refers to (some of ) the storage used for Local snapshots (on laptops, see #30 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions), and, apparently, Versions.
There are many other misleading and inaccurate things there, too.

WMV files and file extensions to upload in OLM

Can you upload .wmv files to be played in OLM? It plays from Windows Media Player in a stand alone mode.
What about pps. files? I saved a power point and uploaded it. It opened but it only showed the slides and I had to start it in MS PPT. So, I tried to save it in PPT Show and I get a bunch of java jibberish. Anyone have experience with either file type?

Anders,
Are you referring to the properties in the OLM setup? I have not tried to set it to display in a different window, but I will try. I created a new learning object and UPLOADED the video. When opening the file, I get a bunch of java language (jibberish) and the video does not show. Have you experienced that before?
