Nav Services Open Dialogue Bug

TextWrangler 2.1.3 and OSX 10.4.7 result in sporadic TW crashes when opening files within TW.
I sent BareBones the crash log, and they said it is a known bug in OSX Nav Services, and occurs with any app using the Open dialogue.
I'm experiencing about 4 crashes a day using TW, whereas before the last update it was only about 4 a year.
To confirm it wasn't my system, I did a complete reinstall from scratch using the Apple DVDs, and remaking all my preferences and pw by hand.
The bug is still there.
Question: When will Apple fix this so that excellent apps like BBEdit and TW can run smoothly without this annoying bug.
Will it be fixed for Tiger users on the next update?
Please Apple, it's very irritating.

By way of a bump, here's what BareBones said about this OSX bug;
"Nav Services is part of Mac OS X, and this is a known bug in that part of the system. [It] may occur randomly any time you use the Open dialog. It's certainly possible that this bug could be fixed, but since it's in the system, that isn't something we can do; it will have to be addressed by Apple."

Disappearing "open" dialogue

My Photohop CS3, running under Win XP, has developed an annoying bug lately. When I click File > Open, the "open" dialogue flashes for an instant and then disappears. Photoshop, waiting for my input, freezes and has to be killed in Task Manager. This happens regardless of whether I have any programs running in other windows. It appears to be exclusively a Photoshop problem -- others (including Adobe Acrobat) are not affected. I have not added any new software recently, but of course some applications that can run in background do get upgraded without notice.
I'm running 10.0.1, which is the latest update.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the replies, but I'm afraid they don't help much. I did delete the preferences file, but without any result. I haven't changed my display settings since shortly after getting the monitor, more than a year ago. My graphics card settings don't appear to contain anything that could affect dialogue placement.
However, "ESC" does dismiss the dialogue.

"CS5 Service Manager" dialogue box fix.

Hi,
I'm looking for a fix for the "CS5 Service Manager" dialogue box that comes up on a mac, after installing Yosemite. Any ideas how to turn it off or uninstall?

Thanks for the input.
My issue isn’t so much with CC (it’s working fine), but when I open indesignCC I got the message that CS5 Service manager needed a legacy version of java to run.
This issue seems to be a legacy issue going back from CS5. When you click on more info, it just takes you to a blank HTML page.
I went through the Hardrive/Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/CS5ServiceManager Folder... and simply deleted it.
Theres lots more out-dated junk in there. Uninstall doesn't get everything I guess.
Thanks,

Reverse order in File- Open dialogue

The file/folder list in the File->Open dialogue window is "stuck" at showing in reverse order. I can right-click in the Open dialogue window and sort ascending, but the next time I open a file it is back to reverse order.
I have experimented with Explorer's view settings but Reader appears to ignore those. Other applications, for example Word, use Explorer's view settings and behave as I would expect.
I suspect that someone has inadvertently changed something on this PC. Perhaps there's a keystroke combination that changes the file display order persistently?
Any ideas, please?
Adobe Reader version 8.1.2
XP Pro SP2

I'm still struggling with this - does anyone know how to change the file sort order in the File->Open dialogue?
It must be possible to change it because it has somehow been changed to reverse order!

Data Services - Open hub read - No Open Hub DTP error

Hi,
I have created a open hub destination in BW (7.0 SP21), created transformation, DTP and process chain. In Data Services (3.2) I have created flow, job etc. and every thing seems to be as expected. However when I start the job in DS it terminates with an error:
1136 5624 BIW-230334 13-11-2009 12:28:22 Process Chain <ZTEST2> of Open Hub destination <ZTEST> at SAP system <.......> no more contains Open Hub DTP. Please reimport the Open Hub destination to execute the appropriate Process Chain.
I've tried re-activating everything in BW and also re-importing the OHD in BW, but nothing works. I've even tried to re-create everything from scratch. The process chain I've created do indeed contain an Open Hub DTP.
One addtional question: I've activated the process chain, but do I also need to schedule it in BW (like you do with e.g. process chains for time points to be used in Broadcasting)? Note, I've tried both scheduling/no scheduling and does not work either way.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Jacob

You must implement following SAP Notes in SAP systems in order to make Data Services Open Hub functionality work correctly:
SAP Note 1270828 : (Open Hub Process chain is not imported into Data Services repository).
SAP Note 1294774: (Open Hub import failed - when you call the module RSB_API_OHS_DEST_SETPARAMS, th system tries to open a GUI)
SAP Note 1330568 version 3: (This note has fixed "Process Chain <ZTEST2> of Open Hub destination <ZTEST> at SAP system <.......> no more contains Open Hub DTP. Please reimport the Open Hub destination to execute the appropriate Process Chain").
SAP Note 1079698 - 70SP16 (Enable check box "Automatically Repeat Red Requests in Process Chain" in the DTP Execute)
SAP Note 1346049: (Error 028(OSOH): Request <n> cannot be locked.)

Search not working in open dialogue box.

Why is it that after nearly TWO years the search function in the open dialogue box is still not working in inDesign? Why can it work when in the PASTE dialogue box but not the OPEN dialogue box? I discovered this fault years ago and wrote about it in length but it has yet to be addressed. Is there anybody else that is bothered by this?

Doc Maik.
I'm on a MAC. The dialogue box that appears when you OPEN a file. The search command in the top right corner (spotlight) does not work. Has not worked since the upgrade to CS6. See attached.

Pictures not appearing in Open dialogue

When I try to attach a picture to an email or document, Aperture appears in the Media-Photo section of the Open dialogue, but no pictures show up. It looks as though there are no pictures in the Aperture library (there are thousands). I am running Aperture 3, sharing is set to Always in the Aperture settings and all the masters are in the Aperture library. Can someone help? Thanks!

Thanks - I was generating previews, so not sure why they would not show up - perhaps because I have just upgraded to this current machine from an older MacBook Pro. However, I created a new Library, imported photos from outside and inside the original library and now everything appears. I still wonder what was going on, but at least everything now seems to be working properly.
Thanks again.

Dell 2650 / Solaris 10 Intel (should I open a bug)?

Hi.. am just wondering about a Dell 2650 I have, running Solaris 10 11/04.
The system is, as usual, equipped with dual Broadcom NetXTreme gigabit ethernet ports. I tweaked /etc/driver_aliases to recognize the onboard adapters and the "bge" driver lit them up, giving me "bge0" and "bge1" interfaces.
That said, there is little tidbit in dmesg:
Dec 30 22:35:43 trans1 bge: [ID 801725 kern.warning] WARNING: bge1: 5701-based subsystem 'pci1028,0121' not supported
While I'm not actually -using- bge1 (the system is networked via bge0), I'm concerned that bge is specifically announcing that the 5701 (which is what is used on the 2650) is not supported... even though bge0 is up and running.
I wouldn't have even mentioned it as an issue, but this system pretty much "froze" earlier today (all existing connections at the time of freeze seemed to work, but all new connection attempts to the server would just hang, regardless of what port you were attempting to connect to) and am just going through all the logs to see what could have caused the problem.
That said, this is the only error in the logs. :(
For the record, this is the entry I added to driver_aliases:
bge "pci14e4,1645.1028.121"
Any ideas from the community?
Should I open a bug? Will the 5701 be supported by bge in SX release, or should I download the drivers from Broadcom and use them? Seems silly to have to go that route....
Sun? :)

OK...
After a few days of testing I'm thinking that the problem isn't actually in the BGE driver (though am still curious about the "not supported" issue), but in the cadp160 driver instead.
Today, the system literally "hung" for about 5 minutes. Network activity was still running, and the java processes we already had running that -didn't- require disk access were serving a-ok.
Anything that needed disk access, on the other hand, was stalled.
Eventually, it started appearing in bursts, and then finally started working again.
There are -no- entries in any log to indicate there was any issue (scsi timeouts messages, etc).
Anyone?

File open dialogue

Hello,
I was trying to use the File_open_dialogue in the CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES and used the parameters as follows:
CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG
     EXPORTING
       WINDOW_TITLE            = 'Select Files'
       DEFAULT_EXTENSION       = '*.txt'
     DEFAULT_FILENAME        =
     FILE_FILTER             =
     WITH_ENCODING           =
     INITIAL_DIRECTORY       =
However, each time I open up the file open dialogue, it always set the default extension to *.rtf, which is not what I want, although *.txt is one of the options listed. How can I change the code to ensure that .txt file is the default while other options will still be available? Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Anyi

Hi anyi,
1. SIMPLE
2. give like this.
3.
<b>DEFAULT_EXTENSION       = 'TXT'</b>
4. Note :
a) Do not give *
b) give in CAPITAL CASE
regards,

File Open Dialogue has forward slash and starts up on A: drive.

2.1.1.64
This is minor but bothers me each time I click file open.
Click File -> Open
File open dialogue appears.
SQL Developer tells me my A: drive is not accessabile after my A: hard drive makes a grinding noise. I almost forgot that little bit of info since I have not used the A: drive since around the year 2000. :)
SQL Developer puts a "/" forward slash in the file name box. Why?
I have to press OK.
Then navigate to the C: drive or another drive.
Why does SQL developer want to open the A: drive and not go to a more likely drive like say C:? Then there would be no message and no having to click OK? My recommendation is that SQL Developer File Open dialogue start up on the C: drive or at least just show the directory structure and not make me click anything. Remove the forward slash from the filename field also.

At first this seemed to work. SQLDev would startup and open a file for me from the r:\ drive in its own tab that I was previously editing in a prior session. File->open would startup on the R:\ drive. However, with no file in its own tab on startup no matter what AddVMOption I put in the sqldeveloper.conf file from the link provided SQLDev starts up on the a:\ drive? Changing the "start in" dir on the icon on my desktop had no affect either.

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

No search results from "Open" dialogue box

In Mavericks OS 10.9.4, I get no search results when searching from an open dialogue box, i.e. open file from within Photoshop or some other program. Searching from within Finder works fine. Anyone else seeing this? Any solutions?
Mac Pro 2014
Mavericks OS 10.9.4

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe modeand log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Photoshop CC "Open" dialogue Window preview image query.

Hello and Good Evening.
I am using Photoshop CC on an iMac, with Mountain Lion. I have no issues with the software and it runs perfectly, so this is just a query really.
If I save an image which has Alpha Channels contained within it, following processing, when I then reopen the image, the preview of the image in the "Open" dialogue window appears as a sort of negative, almost as if it has one of the masks on it. The image opens fine though, and looks as I left it.
If I save the image without Alpha Channels, by unselecting them in the Save As dialogue window, and saving the image as a copy, when I reopen this one, the preview of the image is fine.
I'm hoping someone may have some ideas.
I have attached a couple of images below to illustrate;
With Alpha Channels:
Without Alpha Channels:

Hi Chris
Thank you for the reply.
There are definitely Alpha Channels in the image as I created them during the retouching.
I think you're right, as I decided to investigate further and open Bridge, (which I never normally use), and the previews in that show up correctly.
So overall not too fussed about it as long as the actual image file is fine, which it is.
Thank you again.
Much appreciated.
Mike

Open dialogue box in Lion is not supporting drag and drop files (UPDATE)

This is freaking me out. Because now in Lion you can't drag and drop file from the desktop (and other folders!) to open dialogue box. It was most usefull function in Mac OS X. Why Apple kill usabillity?
Access to the desktop is not a problem (command + d), but if the current file is located deep in the hierarchy of folders, it becomes a big problem!!!
Dear Apple, please fix it as soon as you can.
UPDATE: Omg, I found the problem, it works only if I drad and drop file on the bottom panel, not in all open dialogue box area:

Interesting, this is the second time today I've seen this one come up. It does work, drag and drop works like crazy everywhere here. What does console say when it happens (or not, in your case)?
