No option to save files, content/file type missing from Applications list

I want to be able to click a link to a file and have the option to Open the file with a specified application.
When clicking on the file I want to Open with a specified application, I only get a Save or Cancel option.
When I look in Preferences > Applications, the file type is missing from the list.
This was working. It is not working anymore. It is not a problem with the website. I need to know where in the FF settings I can change this.
FF 30.0
Kubuntu 13.10
Thanks

OP, did you ever get a solution to this problem? It's driving me nuts having to specify a download destination then go into a program to open the file I just downloaded!! Have tried deleting file types .rdf and no success either!
</blockquote>
I'm not sure of the solution on Windows. But this worked for me on Linux.
I needed to edit mimeTypes.rdf
See the links below for details. The first one was someone having a problem with Transmission. I was having a problem with ktorrent, so I just adapted that. If you're having a problem with a different file type, then you'll need to adapt it differently. But the general idea is the same.

Also, I suspect that FlashGot or some similar download manger plugin was responsible for screwing this up. I haven't confirmed it yet, but I've seen some things that make me suspect it.

    What version of Bridge and Photoshop and what platform? Mac or Windows?  I can point you to a downloadable installer.
    If the cdrom was damaged, it may be the problem.
    You would uninstall and use the CC/CS Cleaner to remove any remnants before reinstalling.

    hello, gmail should be one of the predefined actions for the mailto-protocol.
    does it shop up when you try the following?:
    go to ''firefox > help > troubleshooting information'', click on ''profile folder/show folder'' and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there rename/delete the file named '''mimetypes.rdf''' - it will be regenerated again the next time you launch the browser.

    I have both Outbound and inbound Interface. in my scenario inbound interface is working finec[third party to SAp appl Server ]. But my outbound interface is not working as content of the file is coming in different format.
    Ecc system will generate the text file and places in SAP Application server.when i am trying ti pick up the file the content of file is changing into different format.
    my content is like 000001 AGER [98700000 2221112     DDDERR    000000000 and so on.
                                000002 AGER [98700000 2221112     DDDERR    000000000
                                000003 AGER [98700000 2221112     DDDERR    000000000
    but when i look into sxmb_moni in sender interface payloads i could fine the content is in the below format.

    what could be the reason. I haveconfigured all the parameters in the sender cc and given all required fields like File Type as Text and tried with Binary also but its not working .
    Can you please give some inputs while the file contents is changing into different format.
    ECC system is putting as Text file in SAP Application server.is any additional changes are required from ECC or XI or FTP end.
    Kindly please suggest and appreciate your inputs.

  • File Content Conversion--- Removing Quotations from csv file

    I have a csv file in the folowing format:
    field1,field2,field3,field4
    "111","222","333","444"
    "aaa","bbb","ccc","ddd"
    Suppose the header name is row in IR.
    While configuring the sender file adapter in XI, i have given following parameters under file content conversion.
    row.fieldNames=field1,field2,field3,field4
    row.fieldSeparator=","
    row.processFieldNames=fromConfiguration
    row.beginSeparator="
    After picking up the XML file XI processes the data so that we have out put as
    row
    field1 111
    field2 222
    field3 333
    field4 444"
    row
    row
    field1 aaa
    field2 bbb
    field3 ccc
    field4 ddd"
    row
    My Problem is what parameter should I add in ID to remove this last quote say 444" and ddd" from the XML message ????
    I tried using
    row.endSeparator=" but it is still giving the same output.
    Can anyone help ????????????????????????

    Hi,
    Try this FCC instead
    row.fieldNames=field1,field2,field3,field4
    row.fieldSeparator=,
    row.processFieldNames=fromConfiguration
    row.enclosureSign=u201C

    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_NW04/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/frameset.htm
    If you specify xml.enclosureSign=u201C and xml.enclosureSignEsc=u201Cu201C, text enclosed in quotation marks is transferred unchanged and the quotation marks are removed.

  • XML File not fully downloaded Fully from Application Server.

    Hi,
    I am downloading an XML file from Application server. It's only downloading partially. Below is the Declaration for target Internal table.
    DATA: BEGIN OF infile OCCURS 0,
            line(65535) TYPE c,
          END OF infile.
    SAP does not allow more than 65535 characters for a data type of type C. So its only downloading till that length.
    If I am using type as STRING, its downloading in different format. Also its not allowing me to put these data into internal table.
    Below is my code for downloading.
    OPEN DATASET p_unix IN TEXT MODE MESSAGE msg.
        IF sy-subrc <> 0.
          MESSAGE i001(38) WITH 'Error on Open of File: ' msg.
        ELSE.
          WHILE sy-subrc = 0.
            READ DATASET p_unix INTO infile.
            CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
            APPEND infile.
            ENDWHILE.
          CLOSE DATASET p_unix.
    Is there any way to convert string into XML format & put it in the internal table?
    Kindly suggest me any other way, so I can download the entire set of file into the internal table.
    Thanks,
    Debi.

    Hi ,
    Try downloading the file from the application server using the TCode CG3Y on your local machine.
    Then use the FM GUI_UPLOAD to upload the contents in an internal table.

  • The option to Save is missing from action list

    Hi,
    I am trying to create an action button to Save my file but unfortunately, it seems to be missing from the action list, as shown below:
    Can I add the File>Save or File>Save as to this list?  If not how can I save this file?
    Another important issues is that I will need to be able to save it on both an iPad and a Microsoft based PC, do I have to do anything different?
    Thanks you in advance.
    Caroline

    I believe this is on purpose. Unless a script is installed on the local
    machine of the user you can't save the file silently, ie without their
    consent. And such a script is not going to work on iOS devices, only on
    desktops.

  • "Open file..." dialog from Application Server (Unix)

    Hi all you experts.
    I have a simple ABAP program that reads input files from Application Server (Unix), at this moment the users have to enter manually the name of the file(s) in a parameter text field. I would like to add value to this program by helping the user select the file using an "Open file..." dialog or something similar that enable them to chose the file on behalf of writing the complete name (including the path).
    Do you have any idea about how to implement it?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Try function module F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION or F4_FILENAME_SERVER (for a specific directory) within the at value-request event for the filename.

  • File Name and File Content  not gettinng passed from Proxy to Business Serv

    Hi All ,
    I have a requirement in OSB , where i need to pick the file from remote Source and FTP the files to Remote Target .Below are the steps which i did to achieve this.
    1.Created a FTP Adapter in JDeveloper to Get the files from Source and a FTP Adpater to Put the files to Target.Inboth the adapters i have choose 'Shema is Opaque'
    2.Imported the wsdl and jca file to OSB
    3.Generated Proxy Service (PS ) and Business service (BS) out of Step 2
    4.I edited the Message flow such a way that , the PS is routed to invoke the BS
    Aslo i assigned $inbound/ctx:transport/ctx:request/tp:headers/jca:jca.file.FileName to a variable 'FileName' in PS
    and in BS service i passed $outbound/ctx:transport/ctx:request/tp:headers/jca:jca.ftp.FileName = 'FileName'
    When i tried to activate my session , the file that is getting written to the target has 0 byte.Also , the file name is also not getting passed from PS to BS
    Can some one help me with the steps on how to use the Xpath , so as to pass the file name and file body from proxy servive to business service.
    Thanks

     I search multiple shares to find a common file name then create a single output file. I will be doing this search and file creation
    for 5-10 different file names. If there is a better way .. certainly open for suggestions. It's working but having issue with
    the cmd file for every file and folder I check. It puts this error out for each run of the process.
      Error message in LOG file:
    Get-ChildItem : Cannot find path 'F:\powershell\-SearchFor' because it does not exist.
     Thanks.
    I tried your code with little changes and saved in Temp folder.
    My CMD file has the below code
    PowerShell C:\Temp\Untitled1.ps1
    It worked.

  • Why does Firefox not give me an option to save a document before opening it from Google?

    When Google lists sites in response to my search phrases I see pdf or doc files that I know I want. Firefox does not offer me the option of downloading them immediately to a chosen folder. I have to first open them on screen and then save them. This is hugely time consuming.

    go to '''TOOLS''' then '''OPTIONS''' then '''GENERAL''' then in '''DOWNLOADS session''' click '''SAVE FILES TO''' and browse the folder you want to download. Click OK to save changes. Exit firefox and restart-it.
    thank you

  • File dates and names missing from library

    I have recently had my hard drive replaced and started afresh. My old copy of iPhoto library downloaded photos into separate files by date order and showed the roll name I assigned. I could click on a little arrow on the left to show or hide the photos.
    In case this is relevant - when I got my computer back it didn't have iPhoto on it (just about everything else was there, such as iTunes, etc) so I put my disc in again and downloaded iPhoto from the disc. Now all photos go into the library and automatically sort into year files, but they are not organised into separate roll dates and I cannot hide the photos any more and just show a list of roll names.
    I tried downloading iPhoto_715.dmg, but this message appears "An eligible iPhoto application was not found in the location /Applications."
    Sorry I am not really very computer literate and just don't understand what is going on.... any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Linda.

    Have you explored the options under the View menu?
    I tried downloading iPhoto_715.dmg, but this message appears "An eligible iPhoto application was not found in the location /Applications."
    To upgrade to a later version of iPhoto requires that you purchase the relevant iLife package.
