Is there a shortcut for adding file extensions?

I have an archive of over 15,000 images, all TIFF, JPEG and Photoshop images. None of them have file extensions. They were saved back when Mac did not use extensions. Now they will not open if I just double click on them... I must add the correct extension, then it opens fine.
It will take me FOREVER to click on each one, type in the extension, then click "Add".
Is there a script or shortcut to name all these old files? Or shareware?
Or at the very LEAST is there a way to turn off that annoying dialog box to confirm that I want to add the extension?
Thanks, any feedback will be appreciated.

I have a whole lot of very old graphic files, and thought I would try Kappy's recommendation of Renamer4Mac, combined with a Spotlight search to see how speedily one could add extensions. So did a Spotlight search on a backup folder that contains many and varied sub-folders containing many and various images. To get the old pict files I hit command-F from the top level folder, selected that folder (WHY does search have "This Mac" as the default???), and for Kind I selected Other and typed:
Adobe Photoshop PICT file
in the blank field. It returned a list of 961 old pict files. Launched Renamer and told it to insert the text pct, at position 1 from left, suffix only. Then dragged a batch of the files from the search results window into the top pane of the Renamer window, clicked the Rename Files button, et voila'! The files were renamed (and no confirm dialog box).
To figure out what to put in the Kind:Other field, just do a search on Kind:Images and note the different types. Thus, something that needed the psd extension would be Adobe Photoshop file, to find tifs, it would be TIFF image. You might have some "QuickDraw picture" as an image kind, they are pict files. Plain jpegs can be brought up with Kind: JPEG image, extension jpg. And so on.

What software do you suggest for adding file extensions

I need to open files with the extension vip & vp3, unable to do so at present. How can I open these and do I need to get some software?

Those may be Windows music files. You will need a Windows player most likely. That may mean running Windows on your Mac. To learn more do a Google search of your own.

Shortcut for adding Primary / Secondary layer?

Hi,
I wonder, if there a shortcut for adding Primary or Secondary layer in layers stack? Can't believe one would need to click the tiny +P or +S buttons all the time.
I read shortcuts PDF, but found nothing.
Am I missing something?
Thank you.

I'm afraid there isn't any shortcut to create any layer. It's possible with a color grading panel though.

Using an * for all file extensions in a class selection parser

Using iFS 1.1.9....
I have successfully gotten a custom document class created using
xml. I have used the following code to set up the parser, etc.
If I use a specific file extension like txt the parser will
upload the file as my custom class. However, if I use * for all
file extensions the parser uploads all files as Document class.
Here is what I am using:
<?xml version='1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>

<PropertyBundle>
<Update
Reftype='ValueDefault'>ParserLookupbyfileExtension</Update>
<Properties>
<Property Action = 'add'>
<Name>*</Name>
<Value Datatyupe = 'String'>
oracle.ifs.beans.parsers.ClassSelectionParser
</Value>
</Property>
</Properties>
</Propertybundle>
When the above is uploaded I can go into iFS Manager and see
that the parser has been registered with * as the file extention.
I then upload this:
<?xml version='1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>

<PropertyBundle>
<Update
Reftype='ValueDefault'>IFS.PARSER.ObjectTypeLookpByFileExtension
</Update>
<Properties>
<Property Action = 'add'>
<Name>*</Name>
<Value Datatype='String'>QualDocument</Value>
</Property>
</Properties>
</PropertyBundle>
If I have txt or some other extension for the Name in place of
the * and upload a document it will put the class as
QualDocument. If I have the * it defaults to Document.
Is there a way to have the parser make all uploaded documents
QualDocument instead of Document without doing this for each and
every possible file extension?
Thanks.

Can't find a valid editor for this file extension

Support for ColdFusion and other databases were removed from DWCC. You can add them back with the Legacy Extension, or adding a paid extension from DMX Zone...
About 1/2 way down this page for the legacy extension: http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/
It's a paid extension, but adds back a lot of the things that were removed...

Is there a shortcut for the hand tool in Au, like holding down the spacebar in Ps and Ae?

Is there a shortcut for the hand tool in Au, like holding down the spacebar in Ps and Ae? It seems only available in the time ruler above the waveform or when dragging the 'zoom selection(?)' in the mini waveform at the top. I'm using a Wacom, so no scroll wheel...

?I went ahead and added a feature request for a Hand panning tool. The request comes in every so often, and we certainly want to make Audition more appealing to a wider cross-section of Creative Cloud users. While we probably can't emulate the "press-and-hold space bar" model, a shortcut key to toggle that mode would be possible.

Shortcut for adding pictures to an album

I need to add tons of pictures to an album for a big project. I know how to add pictures to the album using drag+drop. However I'm on a powerbook laptop and i'm not yet very fast with the whole drag-drop on the track-pad, especially to drag tons of pictures across the entire screen.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for adding selected pictures to an album faster?
Thank you.

Another way is to create a smart album with the criteria Keyword is XXXXX. Then type Command+K to bring up the Keyword pane, create a special keyword, click on a photo click on the keyword in the pane, click on another photo, apply the keyword and continue.
Then you can either use the smart album or select the photos in the smart album and drag them to the one you want to use.

Keyboard shortcut for adding link in Mail

How would I add a keyboard shortcut using the "Keyboard" preference pane to add a link in Mail? I use that menu item a lot.
EDIT: nevermind, I figured it out. For nested items like "Link>Add" you just choose the second command, in this case "Add...". But you have to type Option+semicolon instead of three periods.

Just looking for the keyboard shortcut for adding keyframes
There isn't one. You click the Add/Remove Keyframe button in the Effects Controls panel after enabling keyframing with the stopwatch button. You'll find much more here: Adding, navigating, and setting keyframes
rendering needs to stop itself when it's finished to automatically play the sequence from it's very beginning

Dreamweaver CC and Windows 8.1 - Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension

Was running the latest version with no issues and then I loaded Office 2013 .. Now when I am in the remote site and try to double click on a .cfm file, I get a dialog box..Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension..
I tried the support chat and they said Dreamweaver support was not available, try again later???
So I thought I would reinstall the CC version and now I can see the Dreamweaver icon next to the files but still ... can't open the file..
Any assistance would be appreciated?
Leo

The issue is only in Windows 8.x where when Dreamweaver CC is installed, it is not able to turn on the file type associations by default. The workaround for now is to manually add the extensions both within Windows and then within Dreamweaver CC itself.
Go to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Your Default Programs and select Dreamweaver CC and then select 'Choose defaults for this program' and Select All or the extensions you want to open in Dreamweaver CC
Start Dreamweaver CC and go to Edit > Preferences > File Types/Editors and add '.cfm .cfc' to the extensions and then add C:\Program Files (x86)\Dreamweaver CC\Dreamweaver.exe then click on Apply and Close
That should be it.

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically? I've tried PDF and Word, but worked only in Mail. Lost formatting when just copied and pasted in email.

Is there a format for a file that I can use for attaching a one page document with photos embedded that will open in everyone's email automatically? I've tried PDF and Word, but PDF worked only in Mail. Word worked in nothing. I also tried copying and pasting the document but lost all formatting when just copied and pasted in email. Is there a way to do this?

Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

Why is there no support for RTF files in Pages?

Why is there no support for RTF files in Pages?
This is nuts!

You are not alone.
Actions speak louder than words, but Apple does manage to still distract many from what is self evident before them.
I am astonished by those who swear that non-existent features, or features that pre-exist the current version make Pages 5.2 a major upgrade.
An affect that does seem to wear off with familiarity, as each version of Pages 5 gets a boost in the App Store, only to see the disapproval rating surge back again.
Pages was always one of the top purchases in the App Store, now it doesn't even rate.

Is there a shortcut for starting a new iMessage?

Is there a shortcut for creating a new iMessage from anywhere in OS X?
I know it doesn't take a long time to open messages and start a new conversation but it would be nice if there was a shortcut that allowed a new conversation to be started from anywhere. Here is an example of what I am looking for. I accessed this by clicking the messages icon on someone's contact page.

Are there any shortcuts for creating Value Object Classes?

Hi,
I'm using a Remote Object to connect to my server
(pyAMF/Django). I'm getting stuck with the creation of Value Object
Classes. It doesn't seem very DRY to have a class on my server
representing the data model and then have to recreate that class
and all its properties in my Flex app.
Are there any shortcuts for creating client side VOs from
server side data?
I was thinking about declaring an empty VO class in Flex, and
then dynamically assigning/casting my Proxy object to that class.
It seems like that approach may cause problems for the Flex
compiler though.
Any hints?
Thanks!

One thing that has helped me in that area is a free tool from
Farata Systems called
DTO2Fx. If you're using Java and Eclipse, it's a great time saver.
You simply install a (very lightweight) Eclipse plugin, add a
single annotation to your Java VO classes, and it automatically
generates your Flex VOs. It even creates a base and extended
version of each VO on the AS3 side so you can add code to the
extended VO without fear of having your changes overwritten when it
regenerates your Flex VOs.

FileDialog (filtering for certain file extensions)

I have used JFileChooser in the past and was modifying my code to use FileDialog instead as it looks better, looks like the one used by every other Windows program and takes less code to get the job done. My
question is how to filter for certain file extensions in FileDialog as you can in JFileChooser. I cannot seem to figure out how to, so any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you.
P.S. Also if you know how to turn off all files like you can in JFileChooser, that would also be extremely helpful.

Go to the JFileChooser tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/filechooser.html and skip to the section entitled "Filtering the List of Files". That sounds like it should answer your question.
