Open files in Builder from Windows Explorer

Hi,
As I'm browsing files with Windows Explorer (on XP SP2) I
want to be able to double click on a file with a certain extension
(.xml, .java, etc.) have have it open up in Builder/eclipse. Using
the normal way of doing file associations ("Open With..."), I get a
"workspace in use" error (and the file still doesn't open). This
seems like it should be a slam dunk, I did this with JDeveloper all
the time - is it not possible with Eclipse? Thanks.

are you able to open a file from explorer when eclipse is not
running. ie - is it loading files whileu have eclipse already open
thats the problem?
if so, this is because eclipse is trying to run a second
eclipse. there is a way to tell applications that they can only
open once. if this is whats happening, i'll have a look at it, i
know i made a note about ths for something else last year, but just
cant remember right now.
i agree tho, it should be set to work in this way as
standard.
cheers fella.

  • Copy and paste files from Windows Explorer

    Hi everybody,
    For a part of my application I need to copy and paste files and folders from Windows explorer to the vi shown in the picture.
    Does anybody know how to implement this with the clipboard functionality.
    Also drag and drop would be very nice (but thats maybe a later step...)
    Best regards, Helmut

    Hello Friedr,
    drag and drop is the easy part!
    Use a path control, this will naturally allow drag and drop. If a file is dropped on this a 'Value Change' event is fired! with this event you can load the data into the picture. To get a nice drag and drop functionality you should make the path transparent and resize to the size of the picture control. This will work fluently!
    To use the clipboard, LV 8 has an functionality for this, I think it is an application event.
    Success Ton
    PS I didn't see you image maybe it was removed when you did a preview these have the bad habit of removing the attachments!

    I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as  I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.

  • Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
    Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
    and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
    Many thanks!

    I had to install adobe reader, but   PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?

  • Drag image file from Windows Explorer to a new layer in an open file

    I want to know if it's possible in CS3 to drag an image file from Windows Explorer into an already open file in PS.  Right now when I drag over, it opens that file.  I want to have it where the image is inserted as a new layer into the existing open file.  is that possible?

    Hi, I'm using CS4 and would love to be able to drag n drop straight to a new layer in an existing file.
    At present when I drag n drop I get a new image in PS. I then have to move this to my existing image. I have tried draging to the tab, the layer box, the image, the blank space, using shift,ctrl & alt.
    A simple how to would be nice

  • Files Opened from Windows Explorer Resize Illustrator Window

    Windows 7 Enterprise, SP1
    Illustrator CS6 16.0.3, 64bit
    Over the past weeks, opening any Illustrator file (.ai or .eps) from Windows Explorer resizes the main illustrator window. The window "restores down" from my maximized view that I always run. This does not happen when I use the File > Open command from AI. Using File > Open, the AI window remains maximized and my artwork file opens in a tab (my preference).
    It's really just a nuisance, but it's wearing thin now. More frustrating, this behavior only started a few weeks ago (been running CS6 for a few months.)
    I found a post describing similar behavior from the CS3/2008 era... The fix is a workaround. Lots of complaints about this historically... with plenty of comments like "I hope they finally fix this is CS4."
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/1265916#1265916
    How may I fix this behavior without writing a batch file and making Registry edits (per 2008 post)?

    This definitely isn't a fix, but is the best work-around I've been able to come up with.
    I'm also on Win 7 Enterprise 64-bit using Illustrator 16.0.3 64-bit.
    Although Windows/Adobe (I don't know whose fault it is) doesn't maintain the maximized state, it does (for me) seem to remember the last restored down size and window position, so here's what I did:
    Restore down the main Illustrator window.
    Move the window so that the top left corner is positioned in the top left corner of the screen/desktop.
    Resize the window from the bottom-right corner down to the bottom right corner of the screen/desktop.
    At this point, it should appear maximized (or very nearly so), even though it actually isn't.
    Now (for me at least) when I double-click an AI file from Windows Explorer, the Illustrator window drops out of maximized state to this same nearly maximized state (although technically not maximized).
    Hope this works for others.

  • Very slow opening PDF files from Windows Explorer

    When I open a file from within Acrobat X Standard - whether through File>Open or the recent files list - the file opens very quickly.  When I open a PDF file from Windows Explorer, it takes 10 seconds or longer for the file to open.  Is this an Acrobat issue or a Windows/system problem?  (I don't experience the same delay when opening Word and Excel files from Windows Explorer.)

  • Dreamweaver has suddenly started trying to open PSD files even from Windows Explorer

    All my psd files have the little dreamweaver icon next to
    them now. When I try to open them either from Dreamweaver or from
    Windows Explorer, I get a message in Dreamweaver "failed to open
    document". I've tried changing my preferences for which program
    should open psd files but that isn't working either. I can open
    them from within photoshop or from within dreamweaver only if I
    righ click on it and tell it to open with photoshop.
    This just started but I have been using CS3 for a while now.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks.

    I found a solution but it's a pain in the .... Apparently
    this is just another of Vista's many quirks and annoyances. n h c,
    I tried what you said and it just wouldn't work.
    I searched again on google and ended up downloading a program
    called creative element power tools, which finally let me change
    the file association.
    Thanks for the suggestions.

  • New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer.

    New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer.  If I select 2 raw files and click "Open" Camera RAW will only open 1 raw, then when I click "Done" it will close and open the second, sequentially.  Previous Photoshop CC and RAW worked fine, it would open mulitple RAW at the same time.  How do I fix this?

    If it worked for you that way previously there isn't much to comment about. I just tried opening multiple images from Windows Explorer with Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 8.6, and the first image would open and when I clicked cancel then the second image would open. But if I wanted multiple images opened in Camera Raw to work on them simultaneously it was necessary for me to open them from Bridge. I just did it as an experiment because I normally use Lightroom. Anyway, IF it was a feature at one time to work as you described, it doesn't seem to be that way now.

  • Unable to save document - Read Only or Open by another user error occurs when PDF is opened from Windows Explorer

    Adobe Pro XI  - using Windows 7 Pro OS
    When a PDF document is opened from Windows Explorer, and pages are added, deleted, notations made, any type of changes, it cannot be saved until Windows Explorer is fully closed.  If you try to save the document, you receive the following error - "The document could not be saved.  The file may be read-only, or another user may have it opened.  Please save the document with a different name or in a differnt folder. "   I have confirmed the document is not read only, it is not open by another user, and it is not open multiple times.  Once you fully close Windows Explorer, and try to save the document, it saves without a problem.
    Are there settings in either Adobe Pro XI or Windows that will allow you to save documents without closing Windows Explorer first?
    Thank you for any assistance you can provide.  This error is a frustration since I open all my documents through Windows Explorer.

  • CS6 won't open all images from Windows Explorer

    Hi!
    Today a colleague of mine encountered a strange behaviour with Photoshop CS6 64bit on a Win7-PC (also 64bit), which I could reproduce on a second machine.
    Highlighting severeal jpg-images in a folder and hitting the Enter-key opens
    all images in Photoshop, when Photoshop wasn't running
    only some images (1 - 4 images out of 5) randomly, when Photoshop was already running
    The same effect happens when I use the "Open with..."-command from Windows Explorer on the images.
    Does anyone know this issue?
    Regards
    Dieter

    Normal behavior. Windows only allows a given number of files to be handed over via DDE and that's what happens when a process is already active. When you do this with no program open, it simply blindly fires a standard command with only one file as an argument, but does so for every single file. That's why it works then. Nothing you can change. It's a limitation in Windows itself combined with the fact that only one PS process can be active....

  • Cannot delete file - tried everything - file in use by Windows Explorer error

    Hi - I have tried now for 2-3 hours trying to delete an .mkv file from my "Downloads" folder
    It says the file is in use by Windows Explorer and cannot be deleted
    I have tried deleting it using Del command prompt as me and as Administrator (I am the Admnistrator, there are no other users) - no luck
    I have tried Safe Boot and then deleting - no luck
    I have tried rebooting many times and then deleting - no luck
    Any ideas? It's driving me nuts

    hi to all who have this bug- "file in use by Windows Explorer error"
    this is the only way that it works:
    1.type cmd in search box
    2.go to the drive and the directory the file is in ,for example:
    after you type cmd you have a black screen with c:\user\
    type in the drive the file is in and hit enter example - d: than hit enter
    than you should see d:\>
    now click the directory the problem file is in ,for example i will call the directory "movies"  type in this-   cd movies
    now you will see this d:\movies>
    to delete the file type this:  del filename.mkv (dont forget the .mkv or any other file extension) don't hit enter yet, first open task manager (cntrl+shift+esc) go to process tab than right click on explorer.exe choose and click on end process
    now your desktop should disappear. get back to the "cmd" window and hit enter.
    now the file is deleted. now go back to the task manager and click on "file" on the upper left corner then on new task then type in "explorer.exe"
    and you are done
    please note that the file name you choose to delete cant be with spaces between the letters .if so you will need to change it in the same way in the cmd window only the comand will be instead of "del filename.mkv"(for example) after you are in the
    right drive and directory:
    rename "test space.mkv" testspace.mkv
    hope i helped
    this is the only way it workes
    Instead of running a CMD prompt and typing everything, just start up Winrar or Winzip, kill Explorer, then delete problem MKV files to your hearts content within Winrar or Winzip.
    Winrar and Winzip will navigate your folders as well.
    After you are done, create a new Explorer task.
    or.....   if you need to rename MKV files, just rename them within Winrar/Winzip with Explorer not running.
    I change the MKV extension to AVI (in Winrar with Explorer killed) in order to avoid Explorer issues, if I ever want to move the files in the future without needing to kill Explorer all the time to do so .
    Using WinRAR works for me. Using the cmd function becomes complicated when I cannot rename my file with the rename command".

  • Cannot 'open with' LR3.6 from Win Explorer

    Hi there,
    Since upgrading to LR 3.6 I am unable to export .jpg photos from Windows Explorer directly into Lightroom 3.     I always use to be able to right click on any photo and  'open with' Lightroom 3 (.exe) before this upgrade.
    Also, in the library files I could do the same with my RAW photos - i.e. right click on one of them and 'open with' the LR3 icon in the list, but am unable to do this now.
    I know I can open up LR3 and import the photos, but I simply prefer going into Windows Explorer to pick and choose the ones I want.       My OS is Win 7.
    Can anyone help?
    Many thanks
    Carole

    Hi there,
    Unfortunately I have tried everything and none of the above works.     The .exe no longer works with the upgrade it would seem.
    Works for me as follows:
    1) For a file type, that does not have an application associated with it yet:
    2) For a file type, which already has applications associated with it:
    Btw, additonally to dragging image files or folders to the LR icon, you can also drag them into the LR Library Module when LR is started.

  • R-Click print from Windows Explorer doesn't print actual document size.

    We publish AutoCAD drawings to PDF routinely.  They are setup in 11x17 landscape format.  They are published (AutoCAD's way of printing multiple at once) to PDF in 11x17 landscape format.  When you open the file with Reader they are in 11x17 landscape format.  You can manually print them after opening from adobe reader in in 11x17 landscape format.  But, when you are in Windows Explorer, right click these PDF file(s) then click print, they are printed in 8.5x11 landscape format.
    How can we get these to print in the documents actual format?  We want to be able to R-Click the file(s) and print them from Windows Explorer without having to open Reader.

    Does anyone know how they can help me?  We could really use this.
