Is it possible to open multiple quicklooks simultaneously?

Quicklook is a great application for previewing documents with different file types. And it would be even more great if i could use Quicklook to look/work at multiple files at the same time, i can't find if their is a Plugin or Setting which enable this..
Now a Quicklook window closes when I click anywhere outside the Preview and it reopens when I hit the finder again. Why can't I work inside a program with a Preview open next to the document and for that matter in spaces? or on another monitor? And if it is possible to keep a Quicklook Preview open next to another document could it also be possible to open another Quicklook preview? It would save a lot of time if I didn't have to open all different applications for different file types if i just want to read-only and keep looking at when working at another file.
With less words.. is this possible?
much thanks in advance

Is there a shortcut for opening different file types in Preview?
No.
However, you can create it in two ways.
(1) With Automator, as you've been very close to find out for yourself.
Create a new Automator document using the Service template. In the options, set "Service receives selected" > Documents > "in" > Finder.app. Then drag the Open Finder Items action from Files and Folders. Choose "Open with:" > Preview.app. When you save it, the document should be saved automatically as a Service, and you know the rest. For more details, go to Automator > Help > Automator Help and search for "service".
(2) With AppleScript.
This little script
--script begins
property appName : "Preview.app"
on run
          set theList to {}
          set theApp to (path to applications folder from local domain as text) & appName
          tell application "Finder"
                    set theList to selection as list
                    repeat with i in theList
open i using theApp
                    end repeat
          end tell
end run
--script ends
tells Finder to open 1 or more selected items using Preview (Preview.app must be in its default location). If Preview can't open the item (eg, if it's a text file), it will launch w/o opening anything.
Save this script in its proper place, which is <~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Finder> (if any of those folders doesn't exist, you create it), and enable the Script menu
AppleScript Editor > Preferences > General > Show Script menu in menu bar
Then you can execute your script by choosing if from the Script menu. If you want to execute it with a shortcut, you can use a utility such as Spark (which comes in very handy, because you can add keyboard shortcuts to launching a lot of other apps and scripts).

Adobe Acrobat pro 9.4.6 crashes when opening multiple files simultaneously.

We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 which has been updated to version 9.4.6. we had this problem when the 9.4.5 update was applied also. It is now crashing when we try to open multiple files simultaneously.
Yesterday, I narrowed down the problem to 6 plugins:
IA32
ADBC
eBook
EScript
HLS
PPKLite
SaveAsRTS
However, we discovered that that Comments and markup tool bars weren't loading. So I did a repair install on it.
Now those plugins from yesterday work and Acroform.api is causing it to crash when opening multiple files.
I did try other suggestion that involved using Icacls/cacls on dll files to no avail.
It is running on XP SP3 fully updated with plenty of RAM and HDD space.
Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?

I am not sure what's causing this problem on your machine because everything's working fine for me.
What is the version of Acroform.api on your machine now.
Do a Repair after deleting this file and see if it works.
Enable Windows MSI logging (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314852) before you do a repair, upload that log to some file sharing server, and paste its link here.

Is it possible to open several documents simultaneously in Adobe Digital Editions?

Is it possible to open several documents simultaneously in different windows in Adobe Digital Editions like Adobe Reader ?

As far as I know, it isn't.
You can run both ADE2.0 and ADE 1.7.2 at the same time, with different books open.
Also Sony Reader (free download intended for Sony eReader users, but works even without) will let you have a third book open.
~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0. Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Is it possible to open multiple windows on mavericks . if so how.

is it possible to open multiple windows in mavericks if so how

First, go to Finder > Preferences and make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of new windows".
Any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down either Command Key while clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then clicking on a folder will open it in a tab (which will automatically resize the window and may cause much aggravation).
If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple click (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5). Go to a root folder (for example, the Documents Folder), open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar, then all folders within that root folder will open in a new window.
The Hide Toolbar trick will also work with any folder present on the Desktop. It will make all folders inside that folder open in new windows.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to edit multiple songs simultaneously in iTunes?

Does anybody know if it is possible to edit multiple songs in a single pass (by right clicking on all of them and then opening a single edit window or so?). I would like to be able to, for example, change the Genre of 50 songs from Electronica/Dance to Drum 'N Bass without having to do it 50 times over individually for each of the songs.

I've done this before...by selecting the multiple songs, then right clicking and selecting "get info" from the list. You can then change things like the genre, album name, grouping, compilation (Y or N)...and other changes.

Is it possible to open multiple files in the same window

I just upgraded from Reader 8.1.0 to 9.2 and whenever I open multiple pdfs it opens a new window.

Thank you for the brilliant idea.....
How about in 9.2 ?

Is it possible to open multiple images in Photoshop as smart layers?

Hi All,
After searching, I think I know the answer to this but thought I'd check, we have background plates with main images and love the open multiple images as layers option - but can you open multiple images as multiple smart object layers?
Cheers

This might work.
Edit: But it is a lot less sophisticated than the Load Files into StackScript.
// select folder and place contents as smart objects;
// 2013, use it at your own risk;
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
// select files;
if ($.os.search(/windows/i) != -1) {var theFiles = File.openDialog ("please select files", '*.jpg;*.tif;*.pdf;*.psd;*.bmp', true)}
else {var theFiles = File.openDialog ("please select files", getFiles, true)};
if (theFiles.length > 0) {
for (var m = 0; m < theFiles.length; m++) {
          var theLayer = placeScaleFile(theFiles[m], 0, 0, 100);
////// get psds, tifs and jpgs from files //////
function getFiles (theFile) {
    if (theFile.name.match(/\.(eps|ai|jpg|tif|psd|pdf|)$/i)) {
        return true
////// place //////

Is it possible to open multiple subvi's at the same time?

Hi All,
I have a main vi that calls many subvis like real time display,graph...
Suppose i have to view the real time display and without closing the window i have to view graph also.
But when i am trying to do like that its not seems to be working.
I was able to open only one window at a time.
How to open multiple subvis at a time?
Thanx in advance

A lot depends on how you have designed your application.
- you can configure your sub-vis to have their FP open when running. Click on the subVI FP icon and select VI Properties. Go to Window appearance, select Customize and then Show Front Panel when called. That way, the FP window will remain open during execution.
Of course, I suppose that this is not exactly what you are looking for.
You can use property nodes to open or close programmatically a subVI FP.
In the Application control subpalette, get Open VI reference, use it to call your subVI, wire the FP.Open property node and you should be almost done. See the attached diagram.

Menu or keystroke for opening multiple projects simultaneously?

Pages 52-53 of the Getting Started Guide describe how to open multiple projects using the mouse and keyboard together.
It wasn't obvious to me from the user interface that you could even do that, until reading that part of the manual. Has anyone found a keystroke or a menu (or popup menu) that will let you open multiple projects like this (in tabs or separate browsers)? Or do you always have to do the Option/Command-click thingy? (Right-clicking on a project both selects a project and has no menu items for opening the project, which is not what I would expect.)

I don't think there is a key combo for that, I think the mouse is the only path. Scrolling up or down in the project list always goes to the next project and no modfier keys seem availiable to leave the previous one open... I would be tricky because it would be hard to have a good interface that would let you select non-adjoining projects (since you'd have t skip over other ones without making them active).

OT: Opening multiple links simultaneously

Does anyone know if there's a way to open twenty web pages at
once,
rather than clicking twenty links, one at a time? I THINK I
recall
reading about such a feature on some browser - Firefox, Opera
or Safari.
If not, is there some way to rig a script with PHP that would
somehow
open multiple links?
I'm working on a project that requires me to open a few
thousand web
pages. I'm processing them 20 at a time, but it still takes
too much
time to click each link.
Thanks.

In Firefox you can bookmark an entire set of tabs, in Opera
you can do a
similar thing with sessions. Just open the links once in
separate tabs,
then store them in a session. Next time you just have to open
that
session again.

Is it possible to open multiple files in their own workspace, rather than as tabs or floating?

You could do this in CS5, but it doesn't seem possible in CS6. It's a bit clunky when dragging from one file to another in the tab mode. I liked having the workspaces open side by side. Help?

Your probably used to using the Arrange menu that was to the right of the menu names in cs5, but in cs6 you can get the same options under Window>Arrange.

Firefox 6 hangs opening multiple tabs simultaneously

After updating from Firefox 5 to 6, opening more than 6 (or sometimes 8) separate website pages in tabs (via "Open All in Tabs") simultaneously hangs Firefox networking. After this, no page reloads (or plugins) can access anything remotely (constant reloading and eventual connection lost).
Closing and restarting Firefox allows connection again.
If the same sites are loaded in smaller groups of 4 or 5 at a time, there's no problem. Once the sites have been loaded manually, reloading them in larger groups works until Firefox is restarted and the problem recurs.
I have tried this on a clean install as well as an upgrade. I have disabled all extensions/plugins, made sure a proxy is not being used, disabled IPv6 and DNS caching.

I've been having the problem with as few as two tabs opening. The only time it does not do it is in safe mode. I have cleared my history, turned on the plugins one at a time, and run virus check. With any plugins turned on, it hangs every couple of web pages opened.

CRVS2010 - open multiple rpts at the same time, like sheets in a xls file ?

Hi all,
is that possible to open multiple reports at the same time, like sheets in a excell file ?
Is that possible create tabs beside the MainReport tab ? or include reports in the Group Tree ? how can I do it ?
The application is in asp.net with VS2010 and CR2010.
The reports used to be in excell with three sheets and now we are migrating them to crystal reports, how can I create the report with those three sheets ?
thanks !

I'll make the suggestion to the Program Management group.
You may want to do a post to the [Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports; forum and ask them how they's fake that sort of a requirement. E.g.; there may be some way to make this report look the way you want, but it will be best to ask the experts. Don't mention CRVS2010 as they don't support it and most likely you will not get an answer.

Why can't I get Automator to open multiple files at once?

I'm trying to do something relatively simple with Automator: I want it to open (in Photoshop) all RAW files within a certain folder. Here is what I have:
1. Get folder contents
2. Filter Finder items: Name Extension Contains "RAW"
3. Open Finder items: Open with Adobe Photoshop
When I save this as a Finder plug-in and apply it to a folder, it only opens the first RAW image in PS. It is possible to open multiple RAW images at once in Photoshop, so that's not the problem. Somehow I can't tell get Automator to open ALL the RAW images in the folder, not just the first one. I've tried substituting "Find Finder Items" for "Filter Finder Items" but the result is the same.
What am I missing? A million thanks to anyone who can give me a solution!

If your using PSCS2 I assume you also have Adobe Bridge.
The best I can come up with is a workflow that filters RAW files out of a mixed file folder into their own folder, then opens that folder in Bridge, from where, with a command-a (to select all) and command-o (to open), you get all of your RAW files up in the RAW converter.
1. Get Specified Finder Items (Make this source folder)
2. Get folder contents
3. Filter finder items
4. New Folder (Target for filtered results)
5. Open finder items (Open with Bridge)
I've tried adding an Open with Photoshop as a last step and for some reason it bypasses the RAW converter and pops them straight into PS.
IMHO, it's just as easy to use the Adobe Bridge, and open the files you want direct from there.

Open Multiple PDFs from within excel using VBA

Hi,
I'm using excel 2010 and would like to open pdfs based on filenames I have listed in excel.
I attached a little of my code below which gives an idea of what I'm doing.
First question:
Is there a way to open mutiple files so that they are in one "instance" of adobe?
The way this currently works, is it opens up a whole new window for each file which can make desktop very cluttered.
Second question:
Our pdfs are actually in Sharepoint and so what I am first doing, is converting the URL to point to a mapped directory of the Sharepoint Site.
For this to work, the user must first map the sharepoint directory to a specific drive letter.
I'm wondering if there's a way to pass an actual URL via a shell command so I can skip the mapped drive bit? When I try it, it doesn't open the file.
Thanks!
My current vba:
'sFileName = full URL of the file in sharepoint
     'Replace URL with Mapped Directory
        sFileName = Replace(sFileName, "http://aamteams.alv.autoliv.int/sites/alvgmbu/", "A:\")
     'Replace slashes in URL
        sFileName = Replace(sFileName, "/", "\")
     'Test if file exists before opening so adobe doesn't hang up on opening
        If Dir(sFileName) = "" Then
            A81_Try_Opening_In_Adobe = False
            Exit Function
        End If
        l_strProg = GetDefaultProgram(sFileName)
        'Execute function to open PDF
        Shell l_strProg & " " & sFileName, vbNormalFocus

Hi Test,
We would like to open directly in adobe for the following reasons:
1. The users like opening our pdfs in adobe over browsers by a large margin.
2. If we use a mapped drive and adobe, you can see the filenames in the start bar which is important when you have multiple files.
    If you open in browser (like we do today), you only see the left side of URL
    Left side of URL is always the same so it does no good to see what file your in.
3. We have had issues where sometimes the pdfs open "blank" until I refresh the browser.
4. We are also looking for a way to make a local cache of most common files for faster loads.
But maybe I will give shell execute a try if it can find a local copy first in the code.
Then open in browser as last resort.
Using either shell or shell execute, is it possible to open multiple adobe files in the same instance or will we always have to get one instance for every pdf?
Thanks for the help!
