Launch Firefox with double-clicked file displayed?
System: Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger), Firefox 3.6.15
Used to be that double-clicking an html file icon in Finder or dragging the file icon onto Firefox in the Dock would always launch Firefox with that file displayed in the browser. But in recent versions Firefox now always launches with a blank page or home page (depending on preferences). How can I restore the old behavior?
You are not going to like this answer but it is the only one.
You are asking an end user how-to question. The question and solution are not about scripting. They are about how to use a fundamental feature of Windows. In Windows file extensions are associated with a default program. To set that you
only need to right click the file and select the program that runs it while choosing to set it as the default program.
This and other issues of how to set up Windows programs can be answered in the forum for your OS.
Just writing or finding a script that seems to do what you want does not mean you have to correct solution. YOU have to start by asking the correct question in the correct forum.
Good luck.

Open file from table with double click
Hi all,
I use adf faces and JDEV 11.
I want to open a file by double clicking on row in a table. (file is stored in the database).
I first tried it with a button to open the file, with this code:
System.out.println("Double click!");
BindingContainer bindings = this.getBindings();
DCIteratorBinding iter = (DCIteratorBinding)bindings.get("XxahelpBezoekRapDocView1Iterator");
Row row = iter.getCurrentRow();
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)fc.getExternalContext().getResponse();
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\""+row.getAttribute("Filename").toString()+"\"");
response.setHeader("cache-control", "no-cache");
try {
InputStream in;
in = ((BlobDomain)row.getAttribute("Bijlage")).getInputStream();
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
writeInputStreamToOutputStream(in, out);
fc.responseComplete();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} This is working fine.
Now I wan't to open the file with double clicking on a row.
For opening the file I use the same code in the backing bean and this code on the page:
<f:facet name="metaContainer">
<af:group>
<trh:script>
goEditRow = function(event) {
AdfCustomEvent.queue( event.getSource(), "doubleClickOnRow", {}, false);
</trh:script>
</af:group>
</f:facet>And a clientListener and serverListener on the table:
<af:clientListener method="goEditRow" type="dblClick"/>
<af:serverListener type="doubleClickOnRow" method="#{backingBeanScope.backing_pages_EditTicket.doubleClick}"/>The only thing that happens when I double click is that I see "Double click!" in the console. But I can't save the file :S
What is the problem?
Thanks in advance.Hi
What we do is to pick a table column for downloading the file.
We change the component in the column to the an af:commandLink and add an
af:fileDownLoadActionListener to the command link.
The user clicks on the link to download (open) the file.
Its not exactly the same as what you requested (double
click on the row) but it might be another solution.

Why can't I open files with double click, etc?
Hello, all,
I have been having problems with my MacBook (Aluminum late 2008, I think, OS 10.5). It runs slowly; files on the desktop and in my "Macintosh HD" often won't open with double-click but have to be opened with File-->Open; there are Word Work Files that won't go away; the trackpad is often stiff and not very responsive; clicking on the mouse is very stiff, despite very easy settings. In short, a lot of things are sluggish. Sometimes, also, I get the spinning beach ball, but not all the time.
I have run disk permissons repair from Disk Utility many times (both from the desktop and from the MacBook install disk); I have replaced the directory with Disk Warrior at least twice; I have verified that the disk is OK; I have zapped the PRAM; and done other things of that kind.
I took the MacBook to an Apple Store yesterday. It had been unplugged and much to my surprise, most everything seemed to be working all right. When I opened it today, however, I found everything as it was before I took it to Apple. Including the Word Work files, which I thought were gone.
If I recall correctly, this started when I was working on a long editing project in Word, but I don't know whether that has anything to do with what has happened. I've done similarly long projects before, and this never happened.
I could try trashing the Word Work files (there seem also to be quite a lot of folders with "recovered" files), but I don't want to do that unless I can be assured that nothing bad will come from doing that.
I know this seems quite comprehensive, and may involve several issues, but I'm really unhappy about this and would love to think there is something more I can do, apart from returning to the Apple Store. Besides everything else, how can I khow that I won't find, again, that the MacBook will work fine there but goes back to its troubled state when I return?
Clues, anyone?
Thanks,
jennyHi, Mike,
I have 211.59 left out of total HD space of 232.57.Space should not be a problem. I'll try using Activity Monitor today. I have 2 GB of memory. But since this is the first time I[ve had this problem, I don't see how it could be a problem with memory, do you?
I finished the project more than a week ago. After I shut down the computer, it temporarily returned to normal but subsewuently started acting odd again, although I've done nothing but email since I turned it on again.
I am going to try getting rid of the Word Work files and see whether that helps. I am wondering whether the book I was working on had something wrong with it (it was written in NeoOffice but opened in Word), or my copy of Word has gotten corrupted. Although I haven't used Word since I finished with the book.
Sorry this font is so tiny, but although I was able to choose my font in my original message, there doesnt' seem to be a place to do that here. At least, I don't see it.
I'll get back to you on the Activity Monitor. Thanks.

Mouse failing to open folders and files with double click.
Mouse suddenly decided not to open anything with double click. It will highlight with single click but will not open files. Could I have a broken mouse? Could a virus be causing this? I have checked the mouse settings under System preferences and made sure my pc-using children have not set the mouse to second-click status. Any ideas?
Check back in system preferences > mouse > Double-click speed. Move the slider to the slower end of the scale.

FS10N Not display document with double click
Hi, friends:
Not display document with double click
I am in the list of open items in transaction FS10N and when a wont to see a document by doing a double click in the line, instead of showing the document it shows the data of the line.
Does anybody know the reason behind it? How can I resolve it?
Thanks in advance.Hello,
There could be two reasons:
1. The account would not have been maintained with line item display.
2. In case if the account has been created with line item display, then still you are not able to get the drill down (meaning that you are able to get the line items in FBL3N), in that case, immediately once you get the error, go to transaction code SU53. It will tell you the authorizations you are missing. You can forward that screen shot to your authorization team and they will give your proper authorization for drill down.
Thanks,

My trackpad can't open file with double click
i don't know what's going on, but my trackpad can't open file with double click. i have to open it with right click, open or open with. i've tried to fix it in the system preferences, it didn't work out well.
William - you are wonderful! I had looked at that - they were set to 'internal' which seemed like RH...but selecting the 'design view' and then reselecting 'use default editor' instead of 'auto-select editor' did it. THANK YOU!!!!!

InDesign files won't open with double click
InDesign files won't open with double click on my MacPro with Snow Leopard although they do open from external hard drives when I double click.
Thank you very much,you were correct, it appears the mouse clicks were set too fast. Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to answer my question.

Sublime Text 2 won't open files with double click
Hi, this is my first time asking for something.
Well, i've been using Scribes, but sometimes i need tabs in my text editor, so i installed Sublime Text 2.
The problem is that i can't open files with double click, i need to use "subl filename" and that it's not funny :S
If i double click a file ST2 opens, but with a tab named "file" and without content.
Is there a fix for that?
My Arch installation (if is neccesary):
Arch x86_64
Openbox (stand-alone)
PCManFM
P.D: sorry for my english D:the reason seems to be a broken desktop file. `/usr/share/applications/sublime-text.desktop` says `Exec=subl %U`, but it should be `%f`. Also the Aur package does not provide a `subl` symlink so you should create one.

Nothing will open with double click
Help! Our iMac seems to work OK, except that nothing will open with a double-click in Finder. It is not the mouse, which works fine. I rebuilt the directory with DiskWarrior, but that did not help. What is weird is that things do open with double-click soon after you reboot it. But after a day or so, it stops working. Any ideas?
Thanks,
CarlosHi Carlos!
It maybe your Mouse or your Mouse Preferences are getting lost somewhere. What type of Mouse do your have? When you lose the ability to double click, can you still right click and see the menu dialog? If so, try to open your file this way, if nothing happens when you right click try the next step below...
You should check: System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Mouse... from here make sure you right (secondary) button is activated and double click speed is not too fast or slow.
Let us know, good luck, Rick

Unable to close open apps with double clicking the button and when I tap screen does not respond?
Cannot not close open apps with double clicking the button Since downloading iOS8.
What happens when you try? Does double clicking the ?home button bring up the Task Bar of recently used apps? If so what happens when you flick up on the preview screen for the app you want to close?
To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app. -
Events will not open with double click/double click not working.
Have just upgraded to iPhoto'11 and finding it a pain to use after previous iPhoto. Events will not open with double click (even though highlighted in yellow) and photos will not open with double click or videos play. How can we fix this please?
That sounds very like an issue with your mouse/trackpad and not iPhoto. Go to your SystemPreferences and chck the speed you've set for double clicking

Issue with double click zoom on Essbase Excel Add-in
Several of my users have been experiencing a problem recently when the do a double click zoom in or zoom out in Excel Add-in 7.1.3. It will start clocking (icon flashes as well as the cells while the clocking is occuring) and the only way to break out of it is to hit escape. Sometimes the clocking will only last a minute but, depending on the number of members that you can drill down into, can last several minutes at which point the users end up just escaping out. This doesn't happen with all templates or with all users. Zooming in and zooming out using the menu works fine. This only occurs with double click zooming (which to the users is much quicker and they prefer not using the menu).
This is Excel Add-in 7.1.3 on Office 2007 which I realize is not certified compatible but we have not had this issue until the last few weeks.
Anyone else having this issue? Ideas?sometimes you dont find any excel sheets open but there will be a process allocated to it and running ..you can see this in the task manager..
so go to task manager and try deleting all the process related to excel.
Now after deleting all the processes you find NO excel sheets open..
Try viewing the required excel sheet now..
hope it works now.. -
I used Migration Assistant from my Time Machine for my iMac to my Macbook Pro (I'm pretty sure) when setting up my new laptop to transfer files I wanted from my desktop; now I have new files on my iMac that I'd like to transfer, and I'm wondering if Migration Assistant will send files that I already transferred to my Macbook again, thus creating doubles of files on my Macbook
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Migration Assistant creates a new account to transfer files from another Mac, so you will end with doubles of files on the MacBook.
To avoid this, you can go with the easier way: get an external drive, copy all the files you have on your iMac to the external drive, connect it to the MacBook and copy the files on the external drive to the folder you want to.
Another way is to transfer them through your network. If you have OS X Lion or Mountain Lion on both Macs and they are connected to the same network, use AirDrop to transfer your files. Simply open a Finder window on the iMac and choose AirDrop in the sidebar. Then, drag the files you want to transfer to your MacBook Pro's icon.
Finally, if you have FireWire in both Macs, you can use Target Disk mode on your iMac (hold the T key while your iMac is starting), so your MacBook Pro will detect your iMac's hard drive as an external drive and you will be able to transfer whatever you need -
Opening files with double-click and FileVault
I'm experiencing an issue with 10.7.2 and something is telling me it's related to FileVault. When opening a .txt or .numbers file the associated application (TextEdit or Numbers) will open and display the document. But the pointer turns to the spinning disk and the application won't accept any clicks or keyboard shortcuts. If I alt+tab away from the application I cannot alt+tab or click the Dock icon to return to the application. After a few moments I have to Force Quit the application from the dock. I can also use kill-9 <PID> in Terminal to stop the process.
This *never* happened before 10.7.2. TextEdit will, about 20% of the time, recover after 1.5 - 2.0 minutes of me just leaving it alone.
This happens on *every* file I double-click for these applications. If I open the file from within the application (File | Open) it's fine, so I don't think this is a corrupt file problem.
I open most applications by selecting the desired document from Spotlight (command+space <filename>) - this has the same effect as double-clicking the file with the mouse.
Can this be related to FileVault? I'm open to coincidences, but because I've used 10.7 the same way (double-click or, more often, Spotlight) when opening files and haven't seen this until I started using FileVault I'm leaning towards that.
I've not made any modifications to the OS - there are no auto-load programs and I've installed ony about five applications that didn't ship with OS X 10.7.
Anyone else seen this issue?This was getting so frustrating I turned off FileVault and the problem went away. That's too bad, but there it is.
