Kde 4: good ole right click file association

Hi,
There used to be no problem, until today . Right Click->Open With->Other->Open With Dialog.
The Open With Dialog used to present a checkbox Always use this app for this type of file or something to that effect. Now the checkbox's gone. Where to?

B wrote:FLA is a flash extension if i'm correct. FLAC has .flac as its extension.
In my case they are flacs: somebody else decided to use .fla extension.
Does the same problem happen when you try to assign other unknown extensions, or just .fla?
The same happens with any unknown extension.

  • Right click file and send as attachment to email

    can someone point me in the right direction on this. i want to be able to right click on a file and have an option to send email with the selected file(s) attached.
    thanks

    Very simple, it only takes one action.
    Create a workflow with the *New Mail Message* action, and that's all you need in it. Save this as a Finder plug-in with a nice name such as "New Email", or any name that makes sense to you.
    When you use your right-click, choose the More menu and then the Automator menu inside that, and in there you'll see it in there by whatever name you gave it when you saved it.
    You can find out more how the *New Mail Message* action works with and without files by reading its description.

  • Right click file send option disappeared from Snow Leopard.

    Hi people,
    does anyone know how to re-enable leopard's send-to option when right clicking on a file? I'd need it to send to bluetooth devices directly...
    Thanks!

    go to system preferences->keyboard->keyboard shortcuts->services and check the box next to "send file to bluetooth device".

  • Right-click File then select to email

    Is there an option to do this in OS X? I would like to be able to like right click a file on my desktop and then select an option to email, so then it would automatically attach the file in an email. Any help would be appreciated.

    You can very easily build a little menu item to do this - or anything else you'd like - using the built-in application Automater. Read the Help files on your computer for details.

  • Right Click File = Configure Acrobat 9

    I installed Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on a system running Vista Ultimate. Now every time I right click a file Acrobat wants to go through install/configuration. This also happens when after starting my computer I attempt to go into Acrobat for the first time. Very frustrating. I've attempted to reinstall, repair to no avail. I've attempted it on another system running same as above with duplicate results.

    I have the same problem. Been searching all over hell and back and can't find an answer.
    I right click or even launch a program, and the installer launches. Goes through the whole bit and tells me I have to reboot for the changes to take effect.
    I reboot and the installer does nothing, so I assume I'm done.

  • Right click file to send?

    Hi there,
    Wondering if there's a way to enable sending mail from the context menu through Apple Mail?
    Was surprised that this wasn't there by default...
    Thanks!

    Not that I know of, but you can simply drag any file onto the Mail Icon in the Dock, and a New Message with the file attached will immediately be created.

  • How can I set a default action when I right click on a file in finder

    so that it opens Outlook 2011. This seems to be the only way to email from finder however I can't seem to set the option to remain in the menu and have to go through the steps each time.
    I go through this process now.
    right click file-open with-other-choose outlook in apps, then it opens the new mail with attachment screen and I am right to go.
    I would like to have outlook as the list of options under "open with" currently it offers word, safari, text editor and a couple of others.
    Sometimes I send PDF's JPG, Text etc so never the same type of file.
    Thanks.

  • Combine supported files in acrobat missing in acrobat x pro when I right click drop down menu

    combine supported files in acrobat missing in adobe x pro when I right click drop down menu also Convert to Adobe PDF is missing too.  The open with & share with options are gone too when I right click files.  My computer crashed & I had to have the motherboard replaced.  The tech store put some of my programs back on my compter but not sure how or if they did stuff correctly.  Need help fixing my problem becasue I use this all the time.  Thanks

    I'm having the same issue. I got a new PC, insalled Acrobat X pro and when I right click on an Office file, I could not combine or convert Office files to PDF. I upgraded to Acrobat XI and still no fix. I triled to convert or combine office files to PDF from within Acrobat and I get an error message saying "Acrobat does not support the conversion of one or more of your files to PDF. Please remove these files or go to Settings and choose the PDF Portfolio option".
    I've tried to convert or combine Office 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 files and none work. The weird thing is that the option shows up for Excel .csv files. Even more werid is that I have the PDF tabs showing in the Office applications.
    I contacted Adobe support via chat and they were unable to help. I was directed here, so any help would be great.
    Thanks.

  • Right Clicked Finder Files Don't Stay Selected

    When I right click files in finder and release the button the file doesn't remain selected. Anyone know why this is? Pretty annoying.

    Hi,
    Perhaps I didn't explain correctly. When selecting it does outline the file if you select a second file; in either case, the context menu pops up and then drops back away as soon as I release the right mouse button. This is not the default behaviour far as I can tell. That is, the context menu should remain open until something is selected again or the mouse moved. The problem BTW is intermittent. I will try the other two suggestions and see what happens. One thought is that the mouse is picking up some movement and that is why it drops the context menu. I have tried this with several different mice. I do have my speed set high. I will try it with the speed turned down.

  • Question mark on some of my folders in LR3 on a Mac.  Right click does not result in anything... no drop down menu to fix the problem

    I am trying to learn Lightroom 3 on my Mac.  I mistakenly renamed some folders (not while in Lightroom) by adding a subject to the date.  Lightroom could not find the photos in the folder and gave me an error message that "the file named ... is offline or missing"  I then went back and changed the files to what they were originally named but still get the same error message.  Scott Kelby's good recommends right clicking on the file and i'd have the option to 'find the missing folder'...  Not happening.  What can I do other than starting over?

    I think you might have misinterpreted something in your reading. Try this:

  • Fixed right-click issue in Save/Open Dialogue Photoshop crash

    Not sure where to post this, so I also started this new Topic...
    I have to share this somewhere...
    I've been dealing this problem for months and I finally fixed it on my own.
    My Antivirus, AVG, which is great, except for this glitch, was the root cause of the issue. 
    History:  If I right-clicked a file in my Save/Open Dialogue Photoshop (CS6 Extended) would crash.. for the last few months, actually...  If I avoided right-clicking I'm ok, but my instincts are to organize, rename, etc. while in the save/open pop-up window ... So I've often crashed Photoshop when all I do is right-click on a file in the list of files...
    Well, I figured out the cause of the glitch:
    "Permanently Shred with AVG” .. this option, added without my knowledge during an AVG update, was added around the same time this problem started (realizing this in hindsight).. THIS was conflicting with my Adobe Photoshop file explorer window in the Save/Open dialogue!!! After months of trying to figure this out, this is definitely the solution.
    Once I turned that AVG Shell Extenstion off.... I am now able to right-click files in Photoshop save/open pop-up window again without it crashing…  finally !!!!
    ...hope this helps folks even if it's just a related clue to other issues....
    Basically ,run command prompt as Administrator, then type:
    For 32-bit :  regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
    For 64-bit:   regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
    I found this info about turning off  "Permanently Shred with AVG" option at this link: http://techdows.com/2013/09/avg-2014-how-to-remove-permanently-shred-with-avg-option-from- context-menu.html

  • Right-click (custom context) fails in Flash Player 10.1

    With the release of Flash player 10.1 the right-click (custom context menu) functionality in the software simulations my company builds no longer functions properly.  All files are published at Flash 8 in AS 2.0.  After completing a right-click step the browser crashes (IE 8, Chrome, FF, and Safari).  Anyone having similar problems?
    We had issues with our right-click files when flash player 9 was released and implemented a solution (attached the custom menu to a movieclip vs. a button instance) from Adobe to correct the error...now that isn't working any longer.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2: Different file associations when double-clicking vs. right-click - open

    I have a basic .xml file on my Windows 2008 R2 desktop. I have set the file association for .xml files to Adobe FrameMaker 12. When I double-click the .xml file, it opens with FrameMaker. When I right-click -> open the .xml file, it opens with Notepad.
    I need the .xml file to always open with FrameMaker, even when I use right-click -> open. How can I set this up for all users on a Windows 2008 R2 server?
    Thank you!

    Hi Nicole,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    When you double-click on a file in Windows explorer, the Windows shell looks up the extension of the file in the registry to see if the extension is registered. If the extension is not registered, Windows displays the Open With dialog box, allowing the
    user to choose an application to associate with the file type. If the extension is registered, Windows calls the ShellExecute() function with a command of "open." It also passes the name of the file that was double-clicked as a command line parameter. 
    Associations go further than simply opening a file, though. If you right-click on a text file (.TXT) in Explorer you will see two items at the top of the context menu. The first is named Open. Choosing this menu item is the same as double-clicking the
    file in Explorer. When you choose Open, NOTEPAD.EXE will be started with the selected file loaded (assuming a default Windows installation). The second menu item is called Print. Clicking this menu item will cause the file to be printed without displaying
    Notepad at all.
    There is some registry setting for the application association to take place, you can edit them under following path.
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Test App File
    (Quoted from below article)

  • File associations won't save in KDE 4.2 (Kmail specifically)

    Kmail asked me every time what I want to open .DOC files with.  Click "save" doesn't fix it.  Very frustrating and I can't find a solution anywhere.
    It is set right in the KDE file associations under systemsettings.  It opens correctly in Dolphin so I think it's a Kontact/Kmail problem.  But I got nuthin on this....
    Can anyone help?

    Gaaaa!!! No one?  Anyone?

  • GNOME and KDE file associations

    Hi,
    I like to use KDE and GNOME, alternating between them. Sounds crazy, but I like both. Please, let's avoid the "GNOME vs. KDE" discussion, right?
    My problem is: I like to use different file associations when I'm using GNOME or KDE. For example, I'd like to associate text files with gedit in GNOME and with Kate in KDE. But if I associate text files to gedit in GNOME, when I run KDE and open a text file it opens gedit. If I associate them with Kate in KDE, when I'm using GNOME it'll use Kate as its text editor.
    Some time ago I could have both desktop environments without this mess. Can I have this behaviour back?

    Yeah, I got tired of Evolution not knowing about opening *.docs in openoffice.  After several hours of research, the key is the /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache,  /opt/gnome/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache, and the MimeType fields in the *.desktop files.  The mimeinfo.cache in /usr was empty and the /opt one had gthumb and other apps but no OO:
    [MIME Cache]
    application/x-gnome-stones=gnome-stones.desktop
    image/jpeg=gthumb.desktop
    application/postscript=ggv.desktop
    ...snip...
    That's a lot of blather to say that the fix for Evolution/OpenOffice was to add the proper MimeType entry to /usr/share/applications/ooo645writer.desktop:
    MimeType=application/vnd.ms-word;application/msword
    and then run "update-desktop-database".  Problem solved.
    Another problem is that within Evolution it says an attached doc is a "application/msword" and not a "Microsoft Word Document".  Unfortunately this is because freedesktop.org decided to use application/vnd.ms-word instead of application/msword like the rest of the world.  If you check the vnd.ms-word entry in /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml it defines an alias msword but the new mime system doesn't appear to recognize aliases yet.  The solution I used was to rename the entry to msword.  Another possible solution might be to remove the msword alias from the vnd.ms-word entry and create a new msword entry based on the vnd.ms-word one.  Then run "update-mime-database /usr/share/mime".  Hope that made sense.
    I think the defaults.list is part of the previous GNOME MIME setup cause I don't have one and I'm not experiencing any problems.  For other apps check for the associations in the mimeinfo.cache's and if missing add the MimeType's to the app's *.desktop.
