Open file - displays big

It is probably small thing but every time when I go to open file in any software finder window opens (drops down from bar) and it is absolutely huge stretching below bottom icons bar. As result I MUST select something because my OK i CANCEL buttons are covered by bottom icons on navigation bar. I hope you understand me. I don't know how to post screenshot here.
I need to make that window that opens smaller so I can select multiple files or CANCEL or do something with it.

Had the exact same problem for a couple months, I couldn't figure out how to minimize the open file window.
I then just moments ago decided to search for a solution and came across this discussion and saw that it was maybe due to the screen resolution being changed, which wasn't the case but I decided to try getting the open file window open and opening my system preferences and changing the resolution one at a time, eventually after changing it a bit I was able to see the corner of the window and I minimized it back to normal(: I suggest you try the same? Hopefully it works like it did for me like 5mins ago xD

How can I get the cursor's position in a opened file and display a menu?

Hello,
I want to make a program by which I will be able to display a panel/pops up menu at the corsor's current position, (In any text/doc file or in the desktop, we can display a menu by right click of the mouse.) Now I want my program to do the same task.
More clearly-
1. First I would save some words or sentences in a file(aa.txt).
2. Then I would open another text file/ a word/ excel/ or any other editor( bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html ).
3. While editing or writing something in the opened file, if I click the right mouse button/ press a key (ctrl+space), a menu will appear containing the sentences I saved in the file(aa.txt) previously.
My program will tell me the cursor's position in bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html that i opened. And display a menu. my problem is not reading / writing in a file.
My problem is how can I get the cursor's position in a opened file display a menu at that position by a mouse/key action*.
Would you please help me on this regard.
Thanks

CS4 opens files on wrong display

I use a dual monitor setup. Prior to CS4, Photoshop would remember my preference of the display to use for newly opened files. Now it always displays files at open on my primary display and I have to find a part of the image peeking behind the palettes (er panels) and move it to my second, image-only display. This is driving me nuts. Also, sometimes when I drag the image to the second display, everything disappears and I have to select it from the Window menu. The latter looks like a bug.

I figured out a workaround. You have to enable Application Frame then drag the Application Bar to the second display and maximize it. New images will now appear here. There's no way to turn off the Application Bar (that I can see) but switching into Full Screen Mode at least allows me to display the image without screen furniture. A bit of mucking around for what used to be quite simple. Anyway, the preceding may help others with the same requirements.

1.5.1 Opening File in PlsqlNode incorrectly displays a default connection

SQL Developer 1.5.1.54.40, JDK 1.6.0_04, Win XP SP 2
I have just noticed that opening a file as a PlsqlNode (based on file type preferences) displays a default connection (the connection for the current tab). However, when compiling, you are prompted to select which connection you want to run against - ie there is no connection associated with the editor. This happens regardless of how you open the file (File > Open, Open toolbar button, Ctrl-O, double click in Files navigator).
This does not happen for SQL Script file types, where no connection is displayed on opening them.

Get volumes displayed by default under Home when opening File Explorer in Windows 10 Technical Preview

Scenario:
In Windows 8.1, it is to display volumes under This PC by default when opening File Explorer, which is as shown in Figure1. However, in Windows 10 Technical Preview, it is not to display volumes under Home by default when
opening File Explorer, which is as shown as in Figure 2. This articles describes a workaround to get volumes displayed by default under
Home when opening File Explorer in Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Workaround:
This workaround is to edit some related Registry keys. Note: Please click
Yes in the User Account Control prompt to continue. What’s more, before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey. In this scenario, please backup the key

i think what he want is to change the Win + E shortcut to This PC.
I understand that is the goal. I've tried the registry hack, it works, but I found it left fragments of other files from "Home' scatter around in there too. We all been using this new version of windows for a few weeks now, built up a list of stuff
we have looked at, and that is why I said it's not the prettiest solution. It might have been okay if it was done just after a fresh install. In my alternative solution, you are bringing the This PC icon out to a more accessible place so you
don't have to use the File Explorer icon to get at the volumes i.e. hard drive view.
Personally, when I launch the File Explorer, I am expecting to be looking for something straight away on my hard drives and not be presented with a list of stuff that I have already looked at. That kind of thing should be left
in a Recent Folder sort of thing we use to see in the older versions of windows.

When i attach a portable pdf to an email, it opens and displays contents. I want the file to remain closed - help. thanks

When I attempt to attach a portable pdf to an email, it automatically opens and displays in the email. I want the file to be attached not opened. I am new to MAC and do not understand this portable pdf concept. Lease help. all I want is a file to show on the email message which can be opened by the person receiving the email.

Mail shows any single-page PDF (as well as many other document types) as a preview in an email message rather than the icon, but it is actually being attached as a normal email attachment. Unless the recipient also has Mac OS X Mail, they'll just see the PDF as an attachment unless their mail application also shows PDFs in line.
There is a third-party product which can suppress this display so that all attachments including single-page documents just show in Mail as an icon. If that's of interest, let me know and I'll post the URL to the product. But it doesn't affect how the document is attached and the email sent, only how it displays on your system.
Regards.

IMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format."

Question, asked professionally
When will iMovie for Mac be able to open iMovie for iOS projects?
Question, asked snarkily
Any reasonable expectation that we will ever be able to edit projects--created in iMovie on our fancy new expensive phones--in iMovie on our fancy new expensive laptops?
Specs
iPhone 6 Plus (contract-free, 128 GB)
iOS 8.1.2
iMovie for IOS 2.1.1
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014)
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
iMovie for Mac 10.0.6
Error Messages
iMovie for Mac: "iMovie cannot open files in the "iMovie for iOS Project" format."
iMovie for iOS: "An error occurred during export."
Frustration
Manufacturer: Apple (a multibillion dollar company)
The year: 2015
Hours lost: Three Weeks
Total costs for both devices: $4,000
Background Details
I just wasted thousands of dollars on these two hardware devices by making the rookie mistake of assuming projects were compatible across iMovie applications. However, the exported .iMovieMobile project files are in an incompatible iMovie for iOS Project format that iMovie for Mac cannot import. So I am stuck with a 15 GB .iMovieMobile project file--for an hour-long+ video--that I created and I was editing on my iPhone for weeks that I can no longer edit on my iPhone due to an error, nor potentially rescue the lost hours on my Mac, the sole reason I purchased it one day ago. The reason I can no longer edit the project on the iPhone is because iMovie for iOS suddenly stopped displaying the video of the project in preview, external display, etc. The clip snapshots remain visible and the audio remains audible, but the video appears fully black. Any attempt to export the video at any resolution generates an error message. (This error applies only to this project; other projects export without issue.) I can save to and from iTunes or iCloud without issue, but import into iMovie for Mac is unavailable for this latest version. Deleting and reinstalling the app does not resolve the issue. Nothing has resolved this issue; so I purchased the Mac as a last attempt, and it appears that I will have to begin the meticulously painful process of recreating the video from scratch with all the titling, sound effects, precise edits, transitions, organization, etc. This video was to surprise my mother for her birthday with "this is your life" footage, including my late father. It may seem like a small first-world problem, but such things carry big emotional impacts. What began as such a wonderfully intuitive and joyful experience has descended into a soul-suffering nightmare of catastrophic proportions. This software grinch stole christmas.
Likely Suspect
I believe this originated from Apple's confusingly designed iTunes client that removed videos used by iMovie for IOS during a sync, which I successfully restored back to the iPhone. This apparently resulted in iOS seeking and then claiming to find all of the videos, but somehow a bug in the coding causes the audio to play but not display video, and no way to resolve the bug from an enduser standpoint. I was hoping that iMovie for Mac would allow me a workaround, but I'll never know because the iOS and Mac formats are currently and dishearteningly incompatible.
Suggestions
I never performed a full backup of the iPhone, but I don't believe any of the iCloud nor local backups actually backup iMovie projects themselves anyway. (That's a fail.) So one must back them up manually to iTunes or iCloud.
MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS DAILY, IF NOT HOURLY.
MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING OR SYNCING FROM ITUNES.
MANUALLY BACKUP YOUR PROJECTS BEFORE IMPORTING VIDEO CREATED OUTSIDE OF YOUR IOS DEVICE.
Resolutions
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon? Perhaps.
Return the Mac to Apple, if they allow? Perhaps.
Someone in this community will provide a magical workaround--that I haven't already attempted? Perhaps.
As unlikely these options may be, I shudder to imagine that I may be forced to suffer no resolution and $3,000+ completely down the drain, because if iMovie for IOS worked as intended, I wouldn't have ever purchased the Mac as a last ditch effort to rescue the project. It meant that much to me to surprise my mother by attempting to retrieve this project file from oblivion--but to no avail.

I appreciate you taking the time to copy and paste boilerplate responses to increase your points in this forum, but I've already read all those support articles in depth; but you have barely read my post at all. Please don't guess a fix. Only someone with the latest versions of iMovie, iOS, iPhone, Yosemite, and MacBook Pro is qualified to troubleshoot this, because anyone would immediately see that the following option no longer exists:
Open iMovie on your Mac, and choose File > Import > iMovie for iOS Project.
Read my post before you reply: It clearly says in the title and within my post that I can neither export nor import through iTunes without receiving an error message. So your response neither solved my question nor helped me whatsoever.

InCopy 8 (CS6): Missing Plugins, Cannot Open File

A client and I have used InCopy for several years with no issues. After upgrading to CS6, though, we are both getting this error when opening InDesign files that have embedded preflight profiles:
Missing Plug-ins, Cannot Open File
Package and Preflight.InDesignPlugin
I've tested this on two machines (both Macs) and can confirm that it happens only with embedded preflight profiles. My client is having the same experience on his brand-new iMac (with no previous CS6 installations).
Documents without embedded preflight profiles open normally.
Extension Manager reports that the Package and Preflight plugin is loaded -- but from a nonexistent folder:
This folder existed in CS5.5 but not now. Both my client and I have uninstalled and reinstalled InCopy CS6 with no change.
After clicking through the error to load the document, selecting Option+Command+InCopy > About InCopy to display component information shows that the plugin is both "used" and "missing."
No big deal (we can click through this) but annoying and strange. Anyone else running into this?
Steve

Yes, I see it here too. Luckily it's just annoying. Please make sure and report it to the bug reporting form.

File Server Role: Slow access for "opened files" and slow Explorer browsing

Since we migrated our fileserver from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 we are facing two major problems:
1. Opening files which are already opened by other users takes about 1 minute before the file actually opens. This is not only for Office files such as Excel and Word, but also for other (not office) files. Again, this problem only rises when the file(s)
is/are already opened by another user. There seems to be a sort of "Lock" check time which is about 45 to 60 seconds.
2. The other problem is browsing via Explorer through the network drive (all clients are Windows 7 clients). Half of the time there is some kind of "hick up" with displaying the results of the folder. I cannot figure out a patern, but if there
is no "hick up" then browsing is very fast (also in the busiest times of the working day)... If there is a "hick up" the result can take about 50 seconds to display the content of a folder.
I suspect the SMB implementation / settings of Windows Server 2012 which are causing the problems...
Things I tried:
1. Changed the Oplocks wait time to 10 seconds (which is the minimum). The result is that openening files does indeed go some faster (still taking about 45 seconds).
2. Disabled SMB2: the result is that browsing is fast... Opening files does go faster. BUT: we are then facing other problems like some files are not able to open... This setting was, after getting a lot of complaints from the users, changed back to enabled
SMB2.
3. Within the NIC card properties I disabled "QoS packet Scheduler", "Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver", "Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder" and IPv6 (as we only use IPv4).
All above with not the promising results.
The server is a dedicated (virtual machine on vSphere 5.1) fileserver.
Please Advice since this is not workable, and we have postponed the migration of the fileserver for our aother location.

Hi Dave,
I suggest you disable all third party applications like Anti-Virus application to test if it could reduce the waiting time when accessing a file.
Here are some related threads below that could be useful to you:

InfoSpoke fails with message "Could not open file on application server"

BW Experts,
I created an InfoSpoke that is configured to extract to a flat file. The name of the file is specified using a logical filename. During extraction, the infospoke reports the error message "Could not open file on application server" adnd marks the extraction process as red(failed). I have tried to run the InfoSpoke in background mode and in dialog mode and the same error appears. After i run in dialog mode, i checked SU53 for authorization errors and did not find any. I also tried changing the Logical filename setup in transaction FILE to a more "friendly" directory in which i'm sure i have authorizations (e.g. my UNIX home directory) and im still getting errors.
Can you please share your thoughts on this? Any help will greatly appreciated. I also promise to award points.

Hi Nagesh,
Thanks for helping out.
If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to a file using "File Name" option and also check the "Application server" checkbox, the extract works correctly (extraction to the defualt SAP path and filename=infospoke name). If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to the local workstation, the InfoSpoke also works correctly. It's only when i configure it to download to the application server and use the "Logical filename" option, that i encounter a failed extract.
Here are the messages is the Open Hub Monitor:
(red icon) Request No.147515
0 Data Records
Runtime 1 sec.
(red icon)Run No. 1
0 Data Records
Runtime 1 sec.

Could not open file on application server RSBO 214
Request 147515 was terminated before extraction RSBO 326
Request 1475151: Error occured RSBO 322
If i clink on the error message, no messages nor clues are displayed. Note, this is a new InfoSpoke that is currently in the dev system.
Please help.

Photoshop CS3 opening files painfully slow on a Mac

We're having an issue here at work where Photoshop CS3 is very slow in opening files of any size on our Macs.
We're running 10.5.8 on 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon MacPros with 3 of them having 8 gigs of ram and my machine running 12 gigs.
I've tried doing a bunch of research on the issue, but all I can find about it has to do with the issue on a Windows machine involving the network/default printers. I've tried deleting both our network printers and adding them again after a restart with no luck. We've even tried deleting the Photoshop preference file along with the Adobe Mediabrowser preference.
If anybody has any thoughts on how to fix this (aside from upgrading to a newer CS), they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I think I found a little work around that so far, for the past hour or so is working good. Files are opening up a lot faster.
What I did was create a virtual default printer following instructions I found Adobe's site...
1. Open System Preferences, and select Print & Fax.
2. Choose the + sign to add a new printer.
3. Choose IP.
4. In the Protocol pop-up menu, choose Line Printer Daemon - LPD.
5. In the Address field, type in localhost.
6. After Generic PostScript printer displays in the Print Using field, click Add.
7. Close out of the Print & Fax preference or Quit System Preferences.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/set-default-printer-print-center.html
Once I did all that, I had to go into the Preferences and delete the Photoshop and Mediabrowser preferenses and then restart the computer. Hopefully this fix sticks, but if not, I'm sure I'll back to see if anybody has any other ideas.
Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it.
EDIT
Well, it's been a few days and it looks like I may have spoke too soon on the above fix. Photoshop seems to be slowly reverting back to the problem.

Can't open files in Camera Raw while in Bridge CS6

05/30/2014
Believe this issue/problem happened after automatic update from Adobe (but can't be sure).
Have always uploaded files from camera into Bridge then do some editing by opening JPEG and RAW (NEF) files in Camera Raw from Bridge.
Now, "Open in Camera Raw" is greyed out and I am unable to find a way to open files with Camera Raw from inside Bridge CS6. This seemed to happen suddenly and without any new software or applications being added to computer. All other apps/software working well.
Have tried various fixes found on Adobe community discussions without success. Problem now ongoing for over a week +.
Am able to open files in Photoshop with no problem but want to be able to do some quick edits using Camera Raw opening files from Bridge CS6.
I'm using Bridge CS6 Version 5.0.2.4. (as part of Adobe Creative Suite 6). Updater states I have most current version of Bridge installed.
I'm using an iMac computer with Intel Core i7 processor
OS X 10.8.5
Have found others with this same or very similar problems on forums but either can't understand patches/directions or unable to complete instructions on my computer.
for example see: Camera RAW update issue with Bridge CS6
From that link/discussion, one finds this "solution":
After you update to Camera Raw 8.4, Bridge CS6 in Mac OS doesn't display image metadata or allow you to edit images in Camera Raw.
To the top
Manually install the Camera Raw 8.4 plug-in.
Exit Adobe Bridge.
Download the file below.
Locate and double-click the downloaded file to decompress it. The resulting file is Camera Raw.plugin.
Navigate to the Macintosh HD folder.
Open the Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS6/File Formats folder.
IMPORTANT: Navigate to the root Library folder on your hard disk, not the Library folder under your user folder.
Copy the Camera Raw.plugin from step 3 into the File Formats folder.
IMPORTANT: This new file overwrites the file already in this folder. It's important that only one Camera Raw.plugin file is in this folder.
Open Adobe Bridge.
Camera Raw.plugin.zip
Mac OS Camera Raw 8.4 plug-in for manual installation
However, when I try the above, I have these issues:
1. When I double click on the downloaded file, my computer opens PhotoShop and an error message is displayed that states "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." (I suspect this may mean my computer has automatically decompressed the file, but I am not certain of that).
2. Not completely certain I know how to "Navigate to the Macintosh HD folder" as suggested in step 4. above (OK, I'm new to Mac; long-time PC user….)
3. When I am in "Finder" and click on "GO" while holding down "Option" key, I find "Library". within that, I can find "Library/Application Support/Adobe" but there is no "Plug-Ins" folder within the "Adobe" subfolder.
4. Not sure how to tell if I am in the "root Library" on my hard disk vs. "Library under my user folder". (Again, new to Mac….)
I have NOT yet tried doing an "Uninstall" and then Re-installing the whole Adobe Creative Suite 6 and would like to avoid that if possible.
Would absolutely LOVE it if Adobe would simply push an update that would fix this problem or if someone would explain to me how I could restore the earlier version that worked perfectly for me.
Any help, suggestions (in very basic, simple terms that any idiot new to the world of Macintosh can understand) would be appreciated. Very frustrated with Adobe at the moment.
Mostly have liked the switch to Mac, but with this and my photo workflow coming to a screeching halt, having second thoughts. (But I suppose Adobe update for PC may cause problems as well.)
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

05/30/2014
Literally minutes after I posted the above, I figured this out myself and now I'm a happy camper and things are back to normal!
Here was my error/issue: as a new Mac user, I was not negotiating/finding files on my hard drive correctly.
In case there are others out there with this same issue (and as dense as I apparently am ):
Here is what I did that resulted in a fix:
First Steps:
1. Quit/close Bridge
2. As noted in post above, go to this link to download Camera Raw Plugin file:
Camera RAW update issue with Bridge CS6
Link to get to download is near end of instructions, but I will attempt to insert that link to download here:
Camera Raw.plugin.zip
3. Once file has been downloaded, find it by using "Finder" Click on "Finder" and look on list of options on left side of Finder window to find "Downloads". On my computer, when clicking on "Finder" these options appear in the list at the left:
All My Files
Airdrop
Applications
Desktop
Documents
Downloads
Movies
Music
Pictures
4. Download you just did should be at or near the top of your downloads list and should be named as "Camera Raw.plugin" and will be 83.5 MB in size
5. I right-clicked (two fingers on touchpad) to bring up drop down options and selected "Copy 'Camera Raw.plugin'" from that list to copy file.
Now, you have copied the plug in that will fix this issue. The second set of steps below will walk you through how to replace the file that is on your hard drive with this plug in file that you have copied.
Second set of steps (and this is where, as a new Mac user, I was confused initially)
1. Again, click on "Finder" on your Mac
2. On top of screen, find "GO" and click on that. (You should see "Finder" in the upper right corner of your screen, then "File, Edit, View, GO, Window, Help" Click on the GO
3. In drop down menu that appears, click on "Computer"
4. Then, double click on "Macintosh HD" to open your hard drive
5. Next, double click on "Library" folder to open that.
6. Next, click on "Application Support" folder to open that.
7. Then, double click on "Adobe" folder to open that.
8. Then, double click on "Plug Ins" folder to open that
9. Now, double click on "CS6" to open that folder.
10. Finally, double click on the "File Formats" folder that appears.
11. NOW, you should see this:
12. Right click (two finger press if using a touch pad) to open window with options. Select "Paste Item" by clicking on that option.
13. You will be prompted with an option to keep existing file OR replace the file. Choose "Replace" to past the new "Camera Raw.plugin" file to this folder.
Finally, if you now go back and open Bridge CS6, you should be good to go.
Hope that helps someone out there.
Hopefully future updates will from Adobe will be better.
