Multi-file download possible?

I currently use FileReferenceList for uploading multiple
files at once, and there has been great interest in providing the
opposite - so a user selects multiple files on the website, clicks
'download', and all files are delivered to the chosen folder on the
user's local machine.
We currently achieve this with zip but it would be amazing to
have them downloading individually, all at once, and only having
the select the download destination once.
Possible?

Hi,
multiple file downloads may be easier to accomplish because you would use a Servlet for this that then streams the content in a loop.
Te file upload only operates one file per component, which means that you would have to use multiple inputFile components with individual managed bean methods.
Haven't read about any other solution here on this forum

File downloads not working in Pepper-Flash beta 11.8.800.115 (chrome)

Pepper-Flash Beta version 11.8.800.115 was auto-installed in latest Chrome update (29.0.1547.57 m). This flash version does not display save/open dialog when clicking on a link that opens a file via flash.net.navigateToURL(request, "_self"). Request is an http get that calls a servlet that responds with a binary stream.

The follow are two separate workarounds that we used. We initially used the first workaround below until figuring out #2.
(1) Use the download function on a flash.net.FileReference object. The flow is not as nice, but works as long as the download occurs as part of a user initiated event, such as a button click. We added a switch so that this workaround was only used if the browser was Chrome, so that IE and Firefox kept the same flow.
(2) Embed a hidden frame in your html and make an ExternalInterface call similar to the following to target the download to it. We also have an exit page prompt, but targeting a hidden frame does not affect it:
ExternalInterface.call("downloadFileToHiddenFrame", url);
Javascript function...
function downloadFileToHiddenFrame(locationRef) {
top.frames["myhiddenframename"].location.href = locationRef;
One note, we always use application/octet-stream as the mime type for downloads to avoid the possibility of the file actually rendering in the hidden frame. After implementing #2 above, file downloads in Chrome now flow exactly the same as before the pepper flash issue surfaced.
Hope this helps.

Bug in Multi-File Search and Replace in RH6?

I'm using the 6.0 trial, and one thing I want to be able to
do is to replace the variables I put in using JavaScript with the
new feature variables in 6.0. So, I went in to multi-file search
and replace, and searched for:
<script
language=JavaScript>document.write(varProduct)</script>
I copied this code directly from a topic, and pasted it into
the Search tool.
I don't even care whether I can successfully copy the code
from my new variable for use as the replacement text; I'd be happy
if the multi-file search would simply find all occurrences of my
original code so I don't miss any during conversion to 6.0.
It keeps coming up as not found, and this concerns me
greatly. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a known bug? Does
anyone have a workaround?
Thanks!

Hi robowriter
I'm assuming you are using the wondrous little applet known
as Multi-File Find and Replace.
Unfortunately, this little beastie is like a cat. It
frequently has a fussy tummy and loves to hork up furballs. Well,
not exactly. Really what it does is fail to properly handle
anything with a line break. So you need a tool that does do this.
Fortunately, one exists! It is called FAR (Find And Replace). Oddly
enough, it was also written by a fellow Microsoft Help MVP named
Rob Chandler. (Rob lives in Australia)
You can download a trial version of FAR from the FAR page.

I am using Windows XP SP3, I have problem with file download while resuming downlod giving error "file...could not be saved, because the source file could not be read." Please help me

I am using Fire Fox 5 beta version. After pausing the long file download, when I press the Resume download button the above message appear each time asking "Contact to Administrator". This problem was not with Fire Fox version 3 and above. Please Help Immediately. Thanks in advance...

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Can a Quicktime file download from clickable link?

Quicktime file download to desktop from clickable link?
I have large movies that I want to make available for direct download to the desktop so people will click download and do something else.
It is my understanding that you can't provide a quicktime file for download to a desktop because there are PC/MAC and browser issues across platform. But maybe I'm wrong.
Is it possible to make a web page that allows users to download higher file size videos from a clickable link? The quicktimes are h.264 in SD + HD around 50-100 megs. The files will be so large people won't want to wait so I want it to go directly to the desktop.
So far I can only find a few similar options
1) Embed the file in a web page. Provide a download link after the movie loads.
(This option requires you to load the file into the page. Users may not wait and close it)
2) Provide a zip file. This allows you to create a clickable link to the zip which begins downloading upon clicking. You then unzip the file. (Some less computer savvy people may get confused by the zip)
3) Put a raw file on server. This will play the movie in a blank window but can also be right clicked for direct download.

Welcome to the discussions, jessestudio.
I've seen a few sites that have a link to the video with instructions to "Right-click to download". Essentially, it's option three with instructions. It seems to be a fairly common way of handling it. (Even for non-QuickTime movies)

Drop-down Menu to Open URL for File Download

I am using Adobe Captivate 5.5 and was wondering if it is possible to create a drop-down menu that can be used to open different URLs for file downloads, kind of like the Attachments button Presenter has. Captivate seems to have a dropdown widget available but I can't tell if this would work for this purpose.

Hi Theo
You can use any composition to create a menu with setting for show target on rollover and then link targets to specific pages.

KM Document iView for file download - filename

Hello,
we have a hyperlink on our portal logon page for downloading a word document. This link points to a KM document iView. The iView has the property "Path to Document" set to the document in the KM.
By clicking the link, a file download pop-up appears. But the filename of the downloadable file is the path of the iView - and not the real name of the document.
Is there any possibility to get the real name as name for the downloadable file? Or should we use another iView?
Any hint is appreciated!
Best regards,
Matthias

Sorry Tom!
Your problem seems to be different, I've no idea.
But we already fixed our problem, I forgot to post. Here's our solution:
The solution was to create a KM Docs iView with anonymous authentication schema pointing to the download file. Then we created an URL iView pointing to this KM Doc with appending the filename AGAIN to the URL (because otherwise the iView ID will appear as filename). In the page a hyperlink now is pointing to the URL iView and after clicking it, the download starts with the correct filename.

Jar Files download Slow in IE but not FireFox

We have an application (PTC Windchill) that uses jar files within the application. These jar files contain our customizations and get downloaded to the users when they require certain functionality within the application. Each time we update our build (update the customizations) new jar files are required to be downloaded to the client. Recently, we have seen an increase in the number of clients that the downloads take an extremely long time. The jar files add up to about 70mb and on a machine that we consider to be working correctly, this takes less than a minute. On some machines, it takes as long as 20 minutes. We are unable to determine what the difference is between computers (both have the same version of JRE, OS, IE and updates etc.). What is interesting, is the files download quickly on FireFox, every time on every machine. We initially thought this was an IE issue, but we can't pin point it. Also, the files transfer fine through the OS so we don't believe it is network or NIC related. This started out as just a few computers but seems to be growing. We have found upgrading to Apache 2.x.x from 1.3.27 fixes the problem, but breaks something else in our application, therefor is not a solution. This would appear to be an IE and Apache compatibility issue, but why it works with some clients and not others, puzzles us. I was hoping someone out there may have some ideas of what the issue is. It is probably something simple, but not simple to find. Any help is much appreaciated.
Thanks,

It's probably an IE problem.
The installed JREs on the client machines have no relationship with downloading via a browser.
It works fine with firefox because this latter is an open source and frequently upgraded. There are lot of firefox plugins and extensions for downloading tasks: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=download&status=Array
You can allocate more resources for your server and use a multi-thread donwload servlets but it will not resolve the problems of the client side IE browser.

File Download box appears despite content being text/html .....

Hi
I am supporting a set of web pages which display data to the user based on XML transformed by a set of style sheets. Currently when the user does something and fires the doPost method we get the "File Download" box appear with the message "Some files can harm your computer .................... ". The downloaded file is just the HTML used to display info to the user (with the appropriate embedded stuff from the stylesheet)
I was under the impression that this dialogue box only appears when the content type is not understood by the browser. However, the content type is text/html ... so i am a bit stumped.
can anyone suggest other ways in which this message can appear?
cheers
chris

Just on the off chance anyone else ever has this problem and fins this post ( the problem was solved a long time and i forgot to update the post).
The application in question attempts to log into a database via OC4J. The connection information in the data-sources.xml file was incorrect (specifically the database listener port). This was generating some bizarre exception which was propogated up and resulted in the above behaviour. I suspect that you could get the same effect thogh for many other reasons, so if you are having this problem i wouldnt get too hung up on this as a possible cause,.

File downloads not working most of the time

[I originally included this problem in another post; I should know better. I'm posting it separately here in hopes of getting some feedback about this other issue I'm having.]
When I click on a link on a Web page to download a file (maybe the latest version of Firefox), the Save dialog that appears almost always displays the file name without the extension. For example, I just tried downloading the Firefox installer. Instead of displaying the name as "Firefox Setup 13.0.1.exe", it displayed "Firefox Setup 13.0.1". The file type is listed as "binary file". Every once in a while (maybe one in ten tries), if I quit and relaunch Firefox, immediately return to the download page, and click the file link again, the file name and file type will appear correctly. Almost always, I have to resort to using some other browser to download the file.
I've tried deleting the browser cache; resetting Firefox from the about:support page; installing a new copy by downloading the installer file from the Mozilla site. None of this has helped.
The thing that mystifies me the most is the fact that, maybe 10% of the time, the file download succeeds. This (the file download succeeding) seems to happen only immediately after I launch the browser.
Any ideas?
--Larry

Thanks for the suggestion. I followed the instructions and deleted the MimeTypes.rdf file, then relaunched Firefox. Unfortunately, nothing changed.
I did notice something strange and possibly informative, however: When I tried to download the Firefox installer, the file once again failed to download. The Downloads window that pops up when I download a file gave the full file name, including the ".exe", and displayed "Canceled - mozilla.net". It appears that the file type isn't lost after all, but the download is canceled.
Any idea what could cause this?
