IRR Downloads - Unable to specify filename extension

In a standard report when you enable the csv download option you can specify a filename and extension and the system does not append a .csv extension to it.
In the interactive report the system automatically appends a .csv extension to what ever the filename is specified. For example if you specify FILE1.TXT the system automatically appends a .csv to the filename so when you receive it on your pc it it FILE1.TXT[1].csv.
Can either the system be consistant or allow other types to be specified on the download other (ie .TXT, or .TAB, etc)

If all else fails, you might try downloading the (free) unarchiver for Mac. The program knows how to handle complicated ZIP files. (Apple native software can handle standard ZIP files well.) Here is a review of the product and a link to the download:
http://download.cnet.com/The-Unarchiver/3000-2250_4-10655313.html
I have no financial interest in either the product or CNET. I have used the unarchiver and am satisfied with its results.

Cannot hide filename extension with Finder Advanced Hide Extensions

I am unable th hide filename extensions enmass with the Finder>Advanced>Hide Extensions option. All extensions, key, pdf, page, etc show. This behavior began about three weeks ago. I sync my files through an external drive and MobileMe with another MAC at home. I can hide individual extensions with the File Info command, but not hide all with Finder Preferences.
Does anyone have a suggestion.
Thanks

Unable to check for available downloads. A duplicate filename was specified.

I cannot access my downloads, or rather "download" them, because of the - Unable to check for available downloads. A duplicate filename was specified. - keeps coming up.

Did you resolve this issue? I am having the same problem and CANNOT figure out what to do. It is driving me crazy!

Suggest a filename extension in a save file dialog

Hello guys,
does any of you know, how to suggest the user a certain filename extension in a save file dialog?
I'm using both the normal save file dialog:
     javax.swing.JFileChooser.showSaveDialog,
and the Java Web Start save file dialog:
     javax.jnlp.FileSaveService.saveFileDialog.
For both ways I seem not to be able to suggest the user a certain extension for the filename.
For the normal dialog, I call setFileFilter on the JFileChooser instance.
The filter shows up in the dialog, and is used by default, but when the user types a name and approves, the returned filename does not have the extension added.
Of course I can add the extension programmaticaly, but not when inside the JAWS sandbox.
For the JAWS dialog, I pass an array containing my extension, but it is ignored as if I didn't specify any extensions. The API specs already say that this parameter "might be ignored by the JNLP Client".
So how to tell the user what extension to use?
More people must have encountered this problem.
I'm making an application that saves and opens xml files and exports html files.
I'm using this code to test the behavior:import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;

Hi Tom,
I have a question regarding your classes
tjacobs.ui.fc.FileExtensionFilter and
tjacobs.ui.fc.FileChooser.
When I look at your code, I see the filename extension is appended in showSaveDialog:     public int showSaveDialog(Component c) {
                    setSelectedFile(new File(f.getAbsolutePath() + "." + ((FileExtensionFilter)filter).getType()));
    }It gets the extension by calling getType on the filter. But getType is implemented as:    public String getType () {
        return mExtensionList.get(0).toString();
    }So this returns the first type in the list. It does not check what filetype is selected by the combobox.
Am I missing something?
Also, in getDescription:    public String getDescription() {
        if (mDesc == null) {
            mDesc = "";
            for (int i = 0; i < mExtensionList.size(); i++) {
                mDesc += (i != 0 ? ", " : "") + "." + mExtensionList.get(0).toString();
            mDesc+= " files";
        return mDesc;
    }you seem to iterate through the list, but only take the first entry every iteration.
Can you explain mExtensionList.get(0)?
Do you know how to test what type is selected in the JFileChooser's combobox?

How to make Safari stop adding filename extensions

If I use Right-click->Download Linked File As... with a link to a text file whose name has no extension or an unrecognized extension, Safari adds ".txt" to the name without showing in the Save dialog that it is going to do so. I think this is a regression in Safari 7 and/or Mavericks to a bad behavior from the Tiger era, although it is possible that it is an edge case that wasn't fixed along with the fix for more common modes of downloading/saving files and I just haven't run into it recently. I understand the mechanics of what Safari is doing (mapping the HTTP Content-Type header to a filename extension) and I don't see any good workaround short of a master switch making Safari stop doing that at all and instead trusting that I really do want unextended filenames and the ability to use a period in a filename without informing LaunchServices.
As an antique Mac user I've never been entirely comfortable with the adoption of the Windows filename extension botch, but I do accept that battle as lost. I'm just looking for a way to make Safari save files with the name shown in the Save dialog.

Firefox does not save my downloads to my specified folder. It tries to use another folder. How do I correcct this problem?

When I try to save a download to my specified directory (C:\Downloads) it tells me that (C:\documents and settings\local\temp) can not be changed and for me to change the properties of that folder. I made no changes to any folder regarding downloads. What can I do to fix this problem?

Thanks for your input. I haven't changed anything in my virus protection to make this happen. It has been saving my downloads now for a couple years without any problems.
I am really confused as to how this started. If you have any further input, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks again.

Filename Extensions When Saving

I recently had a system crash requiring that I start over from scratch. I was on 10.8.2 before the crash, and am on 10.8.2 after restoration.
Prior to the crash, when I saved a document the Save dialog included a check box at the lower left that read "Hid File Extension." Checking this box, of course, hid the filename extension while unchecking it added the extension (naturally).
After restoration, when I save files, that box is no longer there. The filename will only save with our without the extension depending on how the Finder setting for extensions (Finder > Preferences > Advanced) is set.
I want my files to show extensions, but not my applications. The Finder preference is unchecked which leaves old files alone (Get Info > Name & Extension > Hide extension is unchecked in the old files), but new files won't show an extension, and without the check box in the Save dialog, I can't easily add one.
How do I get that check box back?
Thanks!

Are you looking at the expanded Save dialog? Click the triangle button next to the file name entry box.

Unable to create "filename.cdr". (Input/output error)

I am trying to create an ISO from a CD. I've tried using Disk Utility, with all different settings, and Terminal. Additionally, I attempted to make the ISO using an array of third party CD-rippers on a PC. Every platform and method has yielded this error message:
Unable to create "filename.cdr". (Input/output error) after several seconds of processing.
I am stuck. The only thing I can think of is that the CD is read-only, though I don't know how to modify my approach in response to this. Can it still be done with a read-only disk? If so, any help in this would be appreciated.
Beyond that, the disk's format is ISO 9660 (Rockridge). I don't know of any other details to provide, but gladly will if anyone can come up with any.

Use Toast:

"Show all filename extensions" does not work!

I want to be able to see the file extensions of all my files. I go to Finder->Preferences->Advanced, and then I check the "Show all filename extensions" checkbox, yet it still does not work! I tried rebooting my computer and double checking if that checkbox is still checked, and it is, and it still does not work!
Any help?

Nevermind. I figured it out.

Unable to create "filename.dmg" (error -60008) {Disk Utility Problem}

Hi:
I’ve used Disk Utilities awesome capabilities many times, but am now running into my first real problem.
I am trying to create a 100 GB new blank disk image, using the “Mac OS Extended (Journaled) option for format, 256-bit AES encryption, a single partition-Apple Partition Map, and Image Format as read/write disk image.
When I implement this, it asks for the AES password then repeatedly crashes, albeit in slightly different ways each time. The most informative was a Unable to create “filename.dmg” (error -60008) message. I can’t find anything explanatory about this in Google
I’m wondering if this has something to do with my upgrade to Lion (OS 10.7.4) yesterday from Snow Leopard.
This error occurs on both my home and work iMacs. It seems to reliably occur about 1/2 way through typing in my password. The error occurs whether I use 128 or 256 AES encryption.
There is more than adequate space on the hard drive I am attempting to place this image on. Disk Utility is version 12.1.1 (353) and all is running on a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5 iMac.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
PS: This is a duplicate post from the OS Lion forums ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/18410534#18410534 ), but since a) it occurs on both my Intel iMacs, b) I totally rely on Disk Utility's capabilities, so this loss with the Lion upgrade really hurts, and c) we've had no luck in the Lion forums, we're hoping someone here has seen this issue and can help. Much appreciated.

Hello, I believe that's an authentication error, thinks your not an admin account. Might try this...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, move this folder to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost /
reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Receiving attachments with carriage return / enter after filename extension

Hello All,
For a while already I am seeing carriage return / enter / newline after the filename extension of (some of) my attachments.
Clicking the attachment fails to open it. The only remedy I have is to save the attachment, navigate to it, click the filename, and remove the extra newline after the filename.
It then asks me if i want to use the new extension, for example
Would you like to use
".pdf"
instead of
".pdf
(I had to cut up the sentence above to make the bogus CR visible)
After agreeing the file works fine and opens normally ( + Icon changes back to preview icon).
The file shows up as "symposium 2010.pdf??" in Terminal.
and
/Users/vincent/Desktop/symposium\ 2010.pdf
when pasted in vi - yes the third white line is included.
Did anyone see/solve this issue before? Wading through the forum here did not turn up a solution...

Filename variable w/out filename extension

Hi,
Is there a less kludgy way to create a variable that returns the filename without the filename extension, than putting a small, filled white box on top of it?
Thanks,
Mats Broberg

I had this problem a year or two ago and Shlomo of Microtype.com came up with a PostScript snippet that I embedded in the file and it erased the extension for me.
You may want to ping him through his site and see it he'd be willing to share, or if you know a PostScript programmer, they could fix you up. I will look around and see if I can find the snippet, but I haven't used it for a while....

Importing without filename extensions?

I need to import files that do not have filename extensions.
Please don't tell me "Get with the modern world!" or "Just rename them!" or some such. This is an archive of some 200 rolls of film scans burned to DVD. They are NOT going to get renamed! Portfolio deals with this just fine.
But I really would rather use Aperture. I just need a push in the right direction to hack some .plist or something to get it to import extension-less files. There's gotta be a way...
Help!

But type and creator codes are currently supported! As far as I can tell, they have not been officially deprecated. If you know differently, I'd appreciate a reference. (The only thing I've seen is a "suggestion" that they be avoided, as they might not be supported in the future by some applications.)
As far as I can tell, it's not "legacy," either. It's a supported part of the file system. When you select a JPEG in the Finder, do "Get Info," and set it to open in Photoshop, then select a different JPEG, and set it to open in Preview, you're setting the creator code. MacOS X has no "registry" like Windows (thank god!) to track such stuff, and I consider it a strong feature of MacOS X that you can open files of the same type with different applications by default.
I'm not sympathetic to arguments that something might happen in the future, so I should go to a lot of extra trouble to deal with someone who's jumping the gun now.
I have hundreds of client CD-ROMs that I may have to re-burn if this is the case. If that's so, I'll stick with Portfolio, which is doing an adequate job. No one is going to pay me for tens of hours spent examining, copying, renaming, and re-burning. Aperture is supposed to improve my productivity, so I spend less time behind the Finder and more time behind the viewfinder!

Finder Preferences Advanced show/hide filename extensions

Hi all,
When I go to Finder Preferences Advanced and uncheck the Show all filename extensions I expect not to see file extensions thereafter, but this doesn't happen.
I've restarted, but still no joy.
Any ideas,please?
Thanks in advance

no, that's not quite how it works. when you uncheck that option it will hide some extensions but not all. I don't know how it decides which type of extensions to keep showing. it always shows .jpg extensions for some strange reason for example. if this happens you pretty much have to hide extensions on files individually using the "get info" panel. there is no automated way to hide all extensions on all files. it makes sense in some situatuions like for files with multiple extensions (e.g. all plists) but I can't think of a good reason why jpg files won't hide extensions automatically.
but this doesn't happen.
I've restarted, but still no joy.
Any ideas,please?
Thanks in advance
