Open Files in selected application

As with the files in "Finder" I click on them and they open in a particular application (default) or one of my choosing. Is there a way to transfer files to the iPad and them open them with the application of my choice?

It is just that I would like to have a system like "Finder" available so I could see all my various documents in one list.
This is not possible.
Because apps are sandboxed, which prevents data or files from being accessed by other apps. Helps to prevent data corruption and malware.
From the iOS Application Programming Guide
Security
An important job of iOS is to ensure the security of the user’s device and the applications running on it. To this end, iOS implements several features to protect the integrity of the user’s data and to ensure that applications do not interfere with one another or the system.
*The Application Sandbox*For security reasons, iOS restricts each application (including its preferences and data) to a unique location in the file system. This restriction is part of the security feature known as the application’s sandbox. The sandbox is a set of fine-grained controls limiting an application’s access to files, preferences, network resources, hardware, and so on. Each application has access to the contents of its own sandbox but cannot access other applications’ sandboxes."

    This is the second time I post this subject. The first time, I thought I had solved the issue using a package named `Default Applications` [suggested in the discussion forum]. But this was `illusory`. If I tell the machine, in all the way I know, to open .f or .c (fortran/c) files with Aquamacs Emacs by default, it will do it a couple of times, but after a while, (a restart...I have not checked) Xcode wins again! I definitely don't want to use the Xcode editor. What should I do? Should I erase Xcode from the disk or eventually there is some more elegant solution to this problem? My impression is that this is a bug of the OS [the *always open with* button does not work at all], which should be cured in the new edition. I know from many collaborators and friends that they have exactly the same problem.

    I had this problem before with how I view the inside of my main Hard Drive. I Keep on changing the view ( J in Finder) with bigger icons and a green background but after every restate its back to small unorganized icons with a white background. Two days ago I enabled finder to show hidden items. I Found out the .DS_Store was owned to another Admin on my computer. I changed it to mine and it's all swell.
    So even though Repair permission did not work for me to fix the problem for me, I still recommend to Verify and Repair permissions.
    Second I should suggest to find the file(s) that handles what files are opened with. (I'll do my part in finding it)
    I hope this solves it.

  • How can I quickly toggle through all of my open files in an application?

    How can I quickly toggle through all of my open files in an application? For instance, if I want to bounce back and forth between three documents that I have open in Microsoft Word?

    You use a combination of OS X Spaces with Exposé to be able to accomplish this.
    Or in your case,  look at using Mission Control

    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.

  • Utility to keep track of what files a selected application accesses?

    Hi there!
    I’m hoping to find a troubleshooting utility (or maybe set of command line instructions?) that I’ve not yet run across ...
    Basically, it would allow me to +log or track what files a selected application accesses on disk+ (and perhaps when each access occurs (date/time), whether read/write, etc.).
    Seems to me it could be very useful to have.
    Has anyone run across anything like this?
    Many thanks!

    Nevermind I found it. turns out I needed to add a "title" to that selectedCell

  • Inability to open file with appropriate application

    I am a huge fan of Symantec’s classic outlining program, More 3.1. Until OmniOutliner implements cloning, I will need to stay with MORE running in Classic on a non-Intel system since so much of my professional work is done in MORE.
    Just recently, I’ve noted a problem opening MORE files. Specifically, they all open in OmniOutliner (v3.6.2 Professional) if one double clicks on them.
    I’ve done a “Get Info”, navigated to “Open With”, navigated to the MORE application, chosen “All Applications” (rather than “Recommended Applications”), but am unable to select the More application (it remains dimmed out). In the past this process worked just fine.
    Interestingly, I am able to open these files from within MORE; ie, if the MORE application is running, I use MORE’s “Open File” command and all works well. All MORE files work fine when they are opened in this fashion.
    The only thing that I can think of is that I had to do an "Archive and Install" to repair damage from a system crash last week. Could this have somehow affected this Classic application’s opening process?
    I’ve “Repaired Permissions” via Disk Utility, and also run Applejack from single user mode. I’m running OS 10.4.10 on a 1.6 GHz PPC. All else on my system seems to be working perfectly.
    Any information as to how I may set my MORE files to open with the MORE application with a double-click or Command-O would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    I suggest that you reset the LaunchServices database as detailed in:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/resetlaunchservices.html and

    Restart, select a More document, and see if that fixes things.

  • SHP2013 - Open Files in Client Application

    I can't get PDFs to open in the client, where in the same library Excel and Word both open in the client.  This is true across all my libraries with these file types.
    The Permissive is ON in Central Admin,  the SharePoint OpenDocument Class is enable on the browser tools, and the list setting are set to open items in client application.
    Not sure what else to do, any advice?
    Note: We just upgraded 2010 to run in 2013 compatibility mode, files open in client while in 2010
    Thanks

    This is typically because pdfs aren't listed as a trusted file type. This article gives a deep dive into the systems around them. In particular have a look at the section titled 'Default Trusted File (Mime) Types'

  • My MacBook pro won't allow me to double click to open files or select the music I want to play, how do I fix this?

    When going to open a file or select a song to play in iTunes or opening links I used to be able to double click on my track pad to open files or links, now I have to tap once with two fingers to open the "right click" option on a normal mouse pad to be able to select it. How do I fix this in order to be able to just double click the track pad to open the folder or link?

    Hi kylec4544,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your MacBook Pro. If you are having issues opening things by double clicking on them, you may want to double check to make sure the double click speed hasn't accidentally been set too high, as noted in the following article:

  • Won't open files with default application

    When I try to open a file it opens preview instead of the default application and does not actually open the file! I have tried changing the default application but it does not help.  How can I fix this?

    Hello,
    Try dragging & dropping the file on the Application's icon that you want to open it with for a test.
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions...

  • Can't open files from an application by dragging the file from another window

    In Mac os x 10.6, i was able to to open a file by simply dragging it and placing it on the 'open' Window which automatically changes the location to where the dragged file is. Ever since updating to Lion, i'd have to go folder by folder from the 'Open' window until i get to where the file is and selecting it.
    i

    I tried it with so many applications Like When i'm sending a file via bluetooth, i tried opening a file with iTunes too by dragging to see if it'll work, it didn't. I tried uploading a Photo to facebook too by dragging it to the select photo window, it didn't work.

  • Open File With LabVIEW Application

    I have a LabVIEW application that can be used to analyze several data files at once.  I am wondering what the best way to right click on a file from Windows Explorer and open with the application.  I know you can use the command line property node to find what file was opened if the application is not running when you open the file, but from what I found, this does not work if the application is already running.  I have a work around in place by using my main application as an ActiveX server, and another application which reads the file name from the command line when the user right clicks and opens the file, passes the path to the main application, and shuts down so the process can be repeated.  Is anyone familiar with a way to do this without have two executables?

  • Open file in default application with unsigned webstart

    Hi,
    Is it possible to open a document in the user's default registered application (on the OS) from an unsigned Java webstart application?
    I don't mind if the user gets a warning, but the only thing I found was the ability to save a file (also with a user warning), but I'd like to automatically open the document generated by the webstart application in the default application on the OS registered for the file association. In this case either a *.xlsx (Excel/OpenOffice) or *.xml file
    Any ideas?

    You can use BasicService.showDocument() to do this, however you will get a blank windows opened in the default browser.
