Open downloaded files on linux

After files have downloaded, in the Downloads dialog, whether I right-click and select "open contaning folder" or simply "Open", firefox tries to open the selected file (or folder) in gedit, which of course gives an error. Why doesn't firefox follow the general system preferences with respect to file associations?? This is HUGELY annoying!!
Thank you

The file might have been deleted, so look in the Recycle Bin on your desktop. Also, look in the "quarantine" section of your anti-virus or clean-up software.
Finally search your entire computer for the file:
1. Press WindowsKey+F to open Windows Explorer.
2. Type the name of the file you are looking for.

  • How to open downloaded files?

    Just picked up a Nokia lumia 822 and was wondering how to open downloaded files?  Through IE it appears i can only stream a media file and now download it. Through UC Browser it says its downloaded but seems to only let me stream it.  I want to download a song and add it to my music library, is that even possible?  Are there any 3rd party file manager apps?

    The easiest way to browse your phone is to connect it to a pc with a usb cable. The phone then becomes like a usb drive and you can then drag and drop your media files as required. 

  • Open downloaded file

    Hi guys ,
    i want to open downloaded file in my report.
    In my report we have provided two option.
    one is to download file and
    second one is to open file after download .
    For the downloading i am using gui_donwload function module  but i don't know how to do  second option.
    Thanks,
    Jack

    Hi.
    If you want to open it in notepad for example you can do like this:
    CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_EXEC'
      EXPORTING
         command = 'NOTEPAD'
         parameter = 'C:ptdebug.txt'
    * IMPORTING
    *    RETURNCODE = .
    Or if you want to use classes instead you can do like this:
    CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
      EXPORTING
        document               = 'C:ptdebug.txt'
        operation              = 'OPEN'
      EXCEPTIONS
        cntl_error             = 1
        error_no_gui           = 2
        bad_parameter          = 3
        file_not_found         = 4
        path_not_found         = 5
        file_extension_unknown = 6
        error_execute_failed   = 7
        synchronous_failed     = 8
        not_supported_by_gui   = 9
        OTHERS                 = 10.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.

    I have a problem with opening downloaded files from the internet; zip types. Can you tell me an app to open these types of formats of files?

    It should unzip if you double-cick.
    What are you seeing happen when you do that?
    Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

  • I cannot open downloaded files. The "Open" & "Open Containing Folder" options are grayed out, as well as the "Open" option. I have removed Kaspersky to sure.

    I cannot open downloaded files. The "Open" & "Open Containing Folder" options are grayed out. Cannot right-click on the files to open. File does not appear in the targeted folder. If "opened," the files provide an error message. Issue is primarily with MS Word.

    If "Open" and "Open Containing Folder" in the right-click context menu in the Download Manager window are grayed then that means that the file is no longer in the original download location.<br />
    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.<br />

  • Trouble Opening Downloaded Files

    My wife has a Mac Book using OS X v10.4 (which is why I'm here) with a 1,83 GHz intel core duo. The problem is that she is unable to open downloaded files. The software updater has a long list of suggestions and after she downloads the files (the new java release 8) the installation process starts and hen abruptly quits. I tried to solve that problem by re-downloading release 7 but the same error occurred (the release 7.pkg file was not in the library but the 5 and 6 pkg files were).
    And... she recently purchased Office 2008 for Mac and that won't load either. Coincidence? Or some related problems? She is already on her second hard drive and I am hoping that isn't the problem.
    Help!! Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hi Escubed, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
    The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
    The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
    Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
    If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...

  • Can't open downloaded files

    Help! I can't open downloads from the internet or e-mail in preview. It seems to be happening with both pdfs and jpegs. It just started yesterday, and I'm not sure why. It gives me a message stating that the file may be corrupted or the wrong file type. The file type is not wrong, and it says this for files from any source even trusted ones. Any help is much appreciated!!

    HI,
    Assuming you are using Safari... try maintenance.
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons then cick Reset.
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Empty Cache.
    Quit Safari.
    Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete all the sub-folders within that one.
    Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete any of these files you have there:
    • Downloads.plist
    • History.plist
    • LastSession.plist
    Restart Safari.

    Hi.. I found the JDIC binary files. There are different binaries for all the plateform. Is there any solution which is independent of plateform.Yes, and we already told you: Use JDK6, which has those libraries built into the standard class library.

  • Safari - spyglass to open downloaded file in Finder fails

    Just upgraded to 9.0 mavericks - I use Pathfinder 6 - fixed (no more hang).
    Download in Safari work just fine and end up in the right folder but I can't use the spyglass to highlight a downloaded file in a finder winder
    I get an error about not finding the file because it has moved (it hasn't tho)
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?
    Thanks

    it didnt work, i tried chrome as well, but now found a way around it, actually the system was set to open files in the previewer, so I had save as the pdf file and then open it with pdf, and it worked.

  • How do I get Lion to automatically open downloaded files?

    I have Word 08 for Mac and I download Word documents and pdf files quite often. In Lion, the files download and then are almost impossible to find. I don't know where they go and often I don't know what the file was named because the hyperlinks used don't always show the file name. How can I set my system to automatically open files I download like it used to do before I got Lion?

    I don't know where they go and often I don't know what the file was named
    Allowing your browser to open "safe" files is dangerous.  That's how a bunch of people got in trouble during the MacDefender outbreak...  the OS considered an installer file safe, since opening one does not run any third-party code.  But many people mistook the automatic launch of an installer to be "official" and were fooled into following through and installing the malware.  (Whether the OS still considers such installers safe I don't know, but regardless, there is precedent for "safe" files being used maliciously.)
    In addition, if you aren't keeping track of these files that get downloaded, that means that your Downloads folder is probably getting filled up with all kinds of strangely-named files, making it difficult to find things in there and providing a good hiding place for other malware like MacDefender.  If you don't know what's lurking in your Downloads folder, not only is that hazardous, but it takes up space on your hard drive with things you don't need anymore.  I highly recommend changing your browser to download to the desktop.  That way, you instantly see any files when they get downloaded, you can open them quickly and you know exactly what has been downloaded and will be more likely to delete it (or file it away) once you're done with it to prevent desktop clutter.

  • I cannot open downloaded files and they do not appear in the download folder

    Up until yesterday everything was fine. All of a sudden when i try to download anything via firefox it shows it is downloading it completes the download but when i click the downloaded file in the download section or try to click open containing folder nothing happens. Also, I have checked the download folder and no file is present there. I have tried everything in the faqs and they do not seem to work thank you.

  • Opening downloaded files

    When I download a file I am getting the message that Safari cannot find an application to open it? The file is either a Microsoft Word document or a pdf file. At least that's what I believe they are. It is a file that has been sent to my wife from her school where she teaches. How can we open the file?
    Thanks

    If it is a PDF file, you can right click on the file, then click open with>preview
    If it is a word document, and you do not have microsoft word (which is available for the Mac, as you may know), you can use a free alternative called OpenOffice. In fact, Apple's own Pages application opens word documents just fine too.

  • Unable to open downloaded files or programs

    I have read all the applicable "troubleshooting" articles, re-set Firefox to the defaults, deleted the cache, etc. Have not been able to open any downloaded file from any source (including the newest Java and Firefox 17.0) and cannot find the downloaded file again except from the Firefox tools/download window. Even when I see the file in the download window, neither the icon nor the filename is active for double-clicking. Right-clicking shows the "open" and "open folder" options but they are greyed out.

    If "Open" and "Open Containing Folder" in the right-click context menu in the Download Manager window are grayed then that means that the file is no longer in the original download location and they may have been removed by Anti-virus or cleanup software.
    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
