Open dialog box freezes

on my dual 2.0 power mac G5, every time i bring up a standard open dialog box in any application, the finder freezes, and i have to relaunch it. this only started happening after i installed the 10.4.7 update.
i tried switching to another volume with a separate installation of os x, and everything was working fine, but as soon as i upgraded to 10.4.7, it started happening there, too. this is becoming a real problem, because it's a real pain to have to open all of my files directly from the finder.
has this happened to anyone else? is there a firmware update or something else that i need to install?

UPDATE:
i have diagnosed the problem further, and the issue appears to center around loading file metadata, because i have the exact same issue when i ctrl-click a file and select "get info".
the problem also goes away in the open dialog when i choose list view.

Open/Save Dialog Box Freeze

Hello,
Since updating to 10.4.7, the open/save dialog box freezes (beachball) after selecting a folder. Can anyone please point me in the right direction in solving my issue.
I used the ComboPPC updater and then ran Cocktail to repair permissions, cron scripts, clear caches etc.
I recently posted about the Finder freezing instead I should have mentioned that it was the Open/Save dialog box.

David

Dialog boxes freeze

The past few days whenever I get a dialog box, the dialog box freezes. I can't click OK, cancel or any other option in the box. I can't click out of the box, nor can I close the browser. I have to close Firefox through the task manager.

File selection dialog box freezes for a few seconds

When I try to open files / select files from within certain applications (e.g. Aperture, Photomatix) the file selection dialog box freezes for a few seconds which becomes irritating because I can't scroll to the actual file that I want very easily .)
(I notice the problem generally when I am working in photo editing applications. And yes, I do have some 25MB TIFFs in the target folder...)
I suppose this is because the finder is "loading" a preview of the files.
Does this happen to everyone (if so, it would be quite a Windows-like irritation untypical of OSX).
If not, then what could be going wrong here?

I have answered my own question by a bit more research.
It seems a lot of people having this trouble for a while. It is down to Logitech software. Specifically the Logitech Control Center.
See this forum (last entry):
http://bit.ly/eEomwp
The simple solution: uninstall Logitech Control Center. The mouse still works without it.

Open Dialog Box hiding behind other Apps

Users frequent find that the GW Open Dialog box hides behind the
current active screen - Is there a way to make sure it comes to the
front ?

That works nicely - Thanks ...

Illustrator cc2014 open dialog box won't work yosemite

I have a Macbook Pro Retina 2014 with a fresh install of Yosemite and Creative Cloud, after a while, when I used the open dialog box for 4 or 5 times to open documents, that dialog box won't work anymore, I have to quit and reopen the Illustrator application, the shortcut won't work either. Is anybody got that problem before?
When I was on Mountain Lion, I never got this problem, I presume it's related to Yosemite.

Gelouis,
I believe it is a bug in CC2014, appearing when you have the Illustrator open/place dialogue set to column view and sort by date or sort by kind. You may change it to view by name or list view.

Or you may get it right by changing the sort to something else.

Thumbnails in "OPEN" dialog box too small to see!

The thumbnails are too small in the open dialog box so that I can't see the file I want to open. Yes, you can make them bigger in finder itself...but I am always opening pictures and I just can't see them!
Almost as frustrating as the column issue. The name column is very very wide when I try to open a file.. so I can't sort by the other columns without dragging over the bar at the bottom of the screen. THis is so so frustrating. I resize but it doesn't stick to the next session.
Apple invented the finder. Why is it so inferior to windows explorer?

The only solution to enlarging the icons in an application open dialog window is to use the Accessibility panel in System Preferences. Under Zoom, enable Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom.
The first time you have an application open dialog, you press the keys: option + command + = as many times as you want to zoom in. This will enlarge the open dialog window and its contents. When done, press option + command + 8 to restore normal window size. Subsequently, you can alternatively press option + command + 8 to zoom to the previous setting, or return to normal zoom.
This is as good as it is going to get. The applications (not just Apple’s) only use a subset of Finder’s settings in the open dialogs, and these do not include icon enlargement settings, which as you realize, are part of the actual Finder’s settings. The application development frameworks, and not Finder, are remiss in not providing icon size adjustments in open dialog windows.
You can provide feedback to Apple regarding OS X.

Preview and Open dialog box on initial start of program?

Okay, I understand that it might be beneficial when starting Preview that an open dialog box also pops up. However, I find it VERY annoying that it does it when I double click on a PDF and Preview goes through it's initial startup. It NEVER did this before...am I missing some setting?
I know it may seem like a small annoyance but, for some reason, it really bugs me.

Thanks. I guess I wasn't very effective with my search phrases before posting.
It did solve the annoyance but definitely seems like a bug to me. I will post in feedback to Apple since opening a pdf in preview and then automatically opening an open dialog box has no value. It also shouldn't be linked to Documents and Data in icloud being checked or not.

File Open Dialog Box

Under my install of Vista Enterprise on an AD network, I'm am not getting the "computer" option to access local and network drives when I select "File/Open". All I get is the redirected "home" directory for that user. True for all Adobe applications (have the latest Creative Suite 4). Other Windows apps using Windows file/open dialog box can get to the network. Tech support said I should have an option to select the OS dialog box, but I do not see that on my install.

In Edit > Preferences > File Handling, uncheck "Enable Version Cue". This is where you will find it in CS4; earlier versions may have slight variations. In some versions, you may also get a checkbox in the file open dialog (down at the lower left, as I recall) that lets you select OS dialog or Adobe dialog. Also, in Bridge (again CS4), go to Edit > Preferences > Startup Scripts, and uncheck Adobe Version Cue CS4. (I have this unchecked, and even with Enable Version Cue checked in PS I don't get the Adobe dialog or the option to set it, so the setting in bridge seems to be the master.)

Regarding open dialog box

how do we call an open dialog box when i press F4 in text field to select a file in the hard disk and the selected filename should be placed in the text field

hi
use the function module <b>F4_FILENAME</b>
example code:
DATA: REPID LIKE SY-REPID.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
    EXPORTING
      PROGRAM_NAME = REPID
      DYNPRO_NUMBER = SY-DYNNR
      FIELD_NAME    = 'P_FNAME'
    IMPORTING
      FILE_NAME     = P_FNAME
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS        = 1.
in reports, use this funct-module under <b>AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR P_FNAME</b>
in case of module-pool, use this funct-module under <b>PROCESS ON VALUE REQUEST</b> event.
thx

File Open Dialog Box Hiding Behind - Urgent

Hi All
We have write code for Opening File in File Open Dialog Box. But its stays in inactive mode behind SBO. Once we press ALT +TAB only then we can see it. How to Activate it or make it visible automatically in SAP Business One.
The Code for Opening File we have written is in C#
<b>OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "
objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (.xls)|.xls";
if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()!= DialogResult.Cancel)
string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
}</b>
Thanks in Advance
Asutosh

Common problem... Do the following instead.
System.Windows.Forms.Form form = new System.Windows.Forms.Form();
form.TopMost = true;
OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "\";
objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (*.xls)|*.xls";
if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog(form)!= DialogResult.Cancel)
string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
That should do it

File Open Dialog Box on Button Click

Hi
I am devloping some webpages using JSF and RichFaces..
I would like to appear File open Dialog box to choose single file and multiple files and another Folder chooser dialog box to choose the folder content..
Both the operation should be performed while choosing the Button Choose File and Choose Folder...
I have already tried Input type = file and aphace tomohawk..
But i all the components are coming with text box and browse button..
I dont need that. I need to open the dialog box once i clilck my choose file r folder button and it should work browser indepent.....

HTML doesn't provide you the possibility to select multiple files or select folders at a single browse. Thus JSF can't do any much for you. Best what you can do is to write a signed applet or web start application which does the task. The Mojarra Scales component library has a ready-to-use component which embeds an applet which does that task. Check [https://scales.dev.java.net/multiFileUpload.html].

Diable "open dialog box" on right mouse click so I can use l mouse to advance to next slide and r mouse click to "go back." How in PP 2010 for mac????

I do presentations in PP10. I am new to macair, and used to Windows. HOW DO I DISABLE THE "OPEN DIALOG BOX ON RIGHT CLICK"? I would like to use L mouse to advance slide, and R mouse to go back. The default is to use R mouse to open dialog box. I can disable this by unchecking the box in "advanced" on the PC. How do I do it with the Mac????
Thanks

Hi Rod,
As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project.
