List of Downloads in separate window

I just recently updated to Mavericks When I used to download links they would open automatically and a separate window would open with a list of downloads (I think the Downloads List contained my last 10 or 20 Downloads), but now when I download although the download happens automatically, the separate window does not open.
How do I make the separate window with my Downloads List open????

The 'More Like This' sidebar doesn't seem to have an answer for this – it's a 'feature not a bug' :^)
If you can't find a Safari extension to add this you may need to use another browser - Chrome & Firefox have the ability to show a real window, not a lousy popup panel.
Otherwise open a Finder window in the Downloads folder, display it as a list & right click (or ctrl+click) the columns to add the 'date added' column. You can then see all the downloads in a list.

In 26.0, how do I put Download, Bookmarks, History, and Tags into separate windows? I have multi-monitor system and place these different windows . . .

Hello,
I recently, decided to upgrade from 19.0b to the current (26.0) version, as "Tab Utilities" now supports 26, but am finding one of the visual changes counter productive. My two workstations have multiple monitors. One has 2 monitors (2560x1600) and the other one has 4 monitors (2560x1600). On both workstations, I'll place the various Firefox informational windows off the "main monitor" (the one directly in front of me). This way they're available to me at a glance.
(Side note: I refer to my monitors, as 2L, 1 2R and the 4th as "auxiliary.") The one thing I miss most is being able size these Firefox windows independently and in different positions.
I mean I'm used to seeing "Download" on monitor 2R on the right side (1/8 of screen) behind Microsoft Process Explorer's System Information. While the History will be on monitor 2L on the right side at 1/4 of the screen). I'm used to glancing out my right eye at the downloads and when needing something from the past, it's right next to the main monitor #1. This way I can access history quickly.
I can see why a developer (with one monitor say 1920 x 1080) would love seeing one window, but why can't Firefox support both single and multiple monitor users at the same?
Anyway, is there a way to get 26.0 to place at least "Download" and "History" in separate sizable windows?
(I'm not jumping up and down to go back to 19.0b or to try 25, but would like to stay current.)

Hello,
Thank you for your very quick reply. Before I read your reply completely, let me see if I can answer your first concern.
> Maybe I am missing your point.
Maybe I'm not making the point properly. Honestly, I never explained the issue from how it is directly affecting me.
OK, let's do a real world example of what I'm seeing on my two monitor system. I'll first describe what I experienced with 19.0b and earlier, which is IMHO how it should work in 26 and beyond ('''''as an option'''''). Next, I'll review what I'm seeing in 26.0. Hopefully this will help you understand what changed, from a practical perspective.
In 19.0b (and how I like working) for a multiple monitor system:
On the main monitor, I'm running Firefox. It is 1920 x 1080 and is in the lower right hand corner.
On the the monitor to my right (2R), I have the Download Manager list of downloading and downloaded file. It is in the upper right hand corner and takes up about 300 x 1500 pixels.
For a two monitor system, I have the History List running beside Firefox in the lower right hand corner and it is 600 x 1080.
For a three (plus) monitor system, I have the History List running on my left (2L) monitor. It is in the lower right hand corner and is 600 x 1080 pixels big.
For 26.0: I'm seeing the following:
On the main monitor, I'm running Firefox. It is 1920 x 1080 and is in the lower right hand corner. (This is the SAME as with 19.0b.)
When I start the Download Manager and have it set up as I do for 19.0b, it looks OK. It is on monitor 2R and is 450 x 1500 pixels (because of the new navigation side bar).
'''''The problem STARTS NOW (when I start the History List).'''''
When starting the History List, it replaces the Download Manger on the 2R monitor in the 450 x 1500 pixel window. This doesn't work for me because:
1) It is too far away to see. (NOTE: I put it on the 2L monitor in the lower right hand corner. so I can see it easier for the 3+ monitor. In the case of the 2 monitor, I put it beside Firefox again to see it easier.)
Some might ask, but the Download Manager is on the 2R and right side, why can't the History List be there too? Good question, and I can only reply saying:
1) Personal choice.
2) The Download Manager is NOT as busy as the History List and I find it easy to read.
3) The History List is a lot busier and the font size looks to be smaller (might be the same, but it looks smaller to my eyes). I need it closer to me / Firefox.
What I'm saying is this . . . The Download Manager and History List have <ul>''valid reasons to be visible to the user at the same time''.</ul> They also need to be independent of one another for (at least) size and location.
Combining them together is OK for some people, but NOT for everyone. Please make it an option to combine (as in 26) and separate (25 and earlier).
I'm not sure this is the best way to put it, but here goes. Allow users to collapse or expand these various lists by using multiple windows. One window is the collapse view and multiple independent windows is the expand view.
I'll read and comment on the rest of your reply, soon. Thanks for allowing me hopefully to explain my point in a better manner. :-)

Firefox 3.6.6 not listing my downloads in the Downloads window.

Firefox 3.6.6 not listing my downloads in the Downloads window. It's blank--but the file DO download.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== When I downloaded 3.6.6

This same thing is happening with v3.6.6 -- can someone PLEASE fix this CRITICAL bug.
It makes Firefox USELESS for developers if we can't resolve names.
I just don't understand why this would break. Why doesn't Firefox use the DNS that the operating system clearly knows about (ping, IE, hosts, etc.)
THIS WORKED IN 3.6.3 -- YOU BROKE IT IN 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 !!!

Just upgraded to snow leopard, downloader apple support drivers for canon mp620. Why won't a printer list display in add printer window?

Just upgraded to snow leopard, downloader apple support drivers for canon mp620. Why won't a printer list display in add printer window?

Assuming the MP620 is connected to your wireless network, then there are two components to this device - the printer and the scanner. The printer uses Canon proprietary software while the scanner is supported by Apple's Bonjour service. So in many cases, you will at least see the scanner, shown as Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column, while the printer can take longer to appear and is shown as canonijnetwork in the Kind column. If you cannot see either then you have a network issue. Try turning off the MP620 for a minute and then turning back on. Then see if the scanner / printer component appears in the Add Printer window. If you still don't see either, then confirm the MP and the Mac are using the same network. If you know the MP's IP address you can use Network Utility to Ping the address. You can also enable Bonjour Bookmarks in Safari preferences and when selected, the MP620 should appear.

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one which has already been described is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

Calling a view in a separate window to print it

Hello
BSP with MVC:
In my main view there is a print button, which should call another view, which I want to print with standard
print functionality.
How is the syntax to call a view which is part of the same BSP-Application in a Separate window?
Thanks and Kind regards.
Carola

Hi Carola,
you can do it in various ways, here is one of them:
Place this code before the button element:
<script type="text/javascript">
function PrintWindowOpen() {
window_parameters = 'hotkeys=no,location=no,menubar=yes,toolbar=no,status=yes,resizable=yes,top=0,left=0,'
+ 'width=' + screen.availWidth + ',height=' + screen.availHeight;
window_location = 'print.do';
myPrintWindow = window.open(window_location,'myPrintWindow',window_parameters);
myPrintWindow.focus();
</script>
And do this for the button element you want to use for opening the print window:
<htmlb:button ...
onClientClick = "PrintWindowOpen();"
... />
The javascript variable window_parameters is a string containing parameter to control the window that will get opened, for a full listing of what you can use see this page:
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/htmldom/dom_obj_window.asp">HTML DOM Window Object on www.w3schools.com</a>
Cheers,
Max

Fixed the code
From: onClientClick = "javascript:PrintWindowOpen();"
To: onClientClick = "PrintWindowOpen();"
It is not required, nor good, to set the JavaScript: protocol, as this is implicitly done already in browser. Otherwise, perfect example!

Open references of other list items from a list item in the same window or tab

Hi there,
We have migrated from lotus notes to sharepoint. We have converted the lotus notes forms to sharepoint forms. Basically the list items are pages and there are links of other pages in a page.
My problem is I want to open the other pages in the same tab or window and not in a separate window.(currently the links open in a separate window which is not the requirement.)
In terms of sharepoint I would say,
I have references(links) to other list items of the list in a single list item. I want to open the other list items in the same window (tab).
How can we achieve this?? If possible without much codes??
Please suggest.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for taking a stab at it: that didn't prove to be the problem. That option in the settings for tabbed browsing was not checked.
I may be a bit behind the times: I am used to tabbed browsing showing all the tabs it possibly can, instead of just the last one. Sometimes it won't even show the last tab: I can have 15 tabs open, and not see a single tab. I've been confused by this into closing a window with lots of tabs open, because it looks like a single page-window.
My main problem with the tab-bar flashing to the end of the row is that it means a great deal more mouse-clicking around to browse.
I haven't tried installing the latest beta. Maybe that would fix the problem.

Links created in Word, now in the pdf they won't open in a separate window

I created links in my Word documents, then converted this file to a pdf. Now when I open the pdf and click on a link it open in the same window and I am unable to get back to my original document. Is there a setting somewhere to make the links open in a separate window?

Pat, thanks for your reply. I finally had some time to look further into this problem and still trying to figure out. First to answer your questions:
what is your operating system & version? Windows 7 Professional
on what browser(s) does that happen? Google Chrome, Firefox, IE
does it happen for any PDF link, e.g. this? Yes, any link with a pdf extension
does it still hapen with the latest Reader version 10.1.4? Yes, just downloaded it last week and still the same.
Another thing I noticed is afer unsuccessfully trying to access the pdf link, the resulting blank page reads "Could not load Adobe Acrobat" (could not load plug-in).
I do have Adobe Creative Suite 3 installed, which of course provides for Adobe Acrobat; I'm not sure if there is a conflict there, but I might uninstall everything and then just try with Adobe Reader to see from there.
I hope some of this helps. I appreciate your efforts in trying to assist.
Cheers,
Vinnie.

How do I set Firefox to open new windows in a separate window (not in tabs)?

How do I set Firefox to open new windows in a separate window (not in tabs)?

Click the orange Firefox button, and click "Options". This will bring up a new window with a "Tabs" tab at the top. Click that. There will be several checked boxes, including one called "Open new windows in a new tab instead" up at the top of the list. Uncheck that box and you should be good to go.
ETA: This should also work if you click "Tools" and "Options" within your version.

How do I get all Apps to appear in list to download in CC Desktop? (Premier and others missing)

How do I get all Apps to appear in list to download in CC Desktop? (Premier and others missing)
For instance, when I click download from the website for After Effects, it asks to use the CC desktop app and again, that AE is missing from the list. Help.

Thank you. I was unaware that I needed to run 64 Bit OS; only that I needed to run Windows 7. I have access to another machine that runs Win 7, 64 bit. Looks like I'll have to use it for video applications (Pr, AE, etc).

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
