Open with default options

Wondering if anyone knows how to set the default 'option' of the "Open
With" box to have this box UNchecked:
Always use the selected program to open this kind of file
By default in windows 7 this is checked. I have found docs online to
completely remove the checkbox or have it greyed out, but I would like
to have the option still there, just not checked by default.
We have had a couple different users somehow set all .exe's on their
computer to open with something like adobe..............sigh.

Looks like you have to download a registry file, but you can look at
that before installing it, to make sure there's nothing hinky in there.

Guitar21,
your MacBook Pro has booted into its Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get to the login screen now?

ORA-10827: database must be opened with MIGRATE option

Hi,
We are trying to migrate an Oracle 8.1.7 database to an Oracle 9i(9.2) database. I moved all the database files to the appr folder and I created a new instance using:
oradim -new -sid PROD -intpwd Oracle -startmode a -pfile C:\oracle\OraDb\Neuropace\initPROD.ORA.
I checked the alter log file and I get the following error:
ORA-10827: database must be opened with MIGRATE option.
How should one go about migrating a database(different versions). I went ahead with the migration. I opened the database using
alter database open resetlogs migrate.
But when i log into the database, I get an internal code error.
Any pointers?.

You must not open normally your database after an upgrade, in short the method is
1) startup migrate
2) run the upgrade script (which one depends on your old database version)
For step-by-step instructions see
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96530/upgrade.htm#1009200
'alter database open resetlogs migrate' is only applicable to upgrades from version 7 to 9.2, hopefully your database is not corrupted now.

Playing dvds with vlc ... no right-click and 'open with vlc' option???

i searched discussions for this question but wasn't sucessful ... so here's my question:
i use a toshiba pc laptop and an iMac G5 ... in order to watch dvds (with different region codes) on my PC, I use VLC with great success ... I wanted to do the same on my iMac, but came across the following problem:
when I want to watch a DVD on the laptop, i simply right-click the title and go for 'open with VLC' (which gives me the menu and so on) ... when I try to do this on the iMac, however, there is no
'open with VLC' option when I right-click the DVD ... I can open single chapters of the DVD by opening the single .vob files, but I'm not happy with doing that ...
any ideas how to make watching DVDs with VLC on my iMac as easy as it is on my laptop?
thanx for your help!

If you want all video DVDs to open in VLC, go to System Preferences>CDs & DVDs>When you insert a video DVD:>Open other application> and now select VLC.
This will open VLC, but the DVD will not automatically play, you have to go to File>Open Disc once in VLC.
One question though, why not use Apple's DVD player Application?

How to change "Open With" default

When one has, say, a .tiff image stored in the Documents folder how does one change the "open with" default? For instance, if Photoshop is given as the default, how does one change this to Preview?

HI,
Right or control click the file, then click Get Info. Click the Open With discovery triangle and select the application you want to open that file with. You may have to click Other and navigate to the Applications folder to select the app, ie., Preview.

I just opened my database : startup upgrade and it started up.
But couldn't perform a backup.As you said you have started the DB in upgrade mode and trying to take the backup of database. I think you can't take the backup of DB in upgrade mode.Please shut it down first and start up it in normal mode and do the backup.
Which backup strategy you are following?
What you exactly want to do upgrade the database or trying to take a bcakup?

Polymorphic VI has been AUTOMATICALLY opened with default type after deployment

I use some polymorphic AI VIs in subVIs of my application with scaled data type. However, after deployment of application (not executable) to another computer these VIs have AUTOMATICALLY been opened with default waveform data type and I had to change the desired data type manually. How to prevent it from happening?

Hi,
Check out the following knowledgebase: Changing the Default Instance of a Polymorphic VI.

How to open documents by default with Pages 4 ( "Change All", "Open With" info option)?

Hello I installed Pages 5, which I don't like.
So I would like to open all my documents by default with Pages 4. However, I can't get the system to fix this default. In the "Info" panel of the Finder, under "Open With", I can set Pages 4 as a default app for one single document, but when I ask to "Change All" documents and use Pages 4, the system refuses to use the setting I select, and keeps reverting to Pages 5. Any suggestion, short of uninstalling Pages 5? Although I don't like it, I need to use it sporadically, so I don't want to uninstall it.
Thanks.

As far as I know, there is not any built-in way to do this. Perhaps an add-on can modify how the "star" works or add a new button for this function?
Until then, you'll have to continue changing the pop-up list:
* when bookmarking a page, double-click the star, and change "Unsorted Bookmarks" to "Bookmarks Toolbar" and then click Done
* when bookmarking a page, press Ctrl+d or right-click the page > click the star on the context menu, and change "Bookmarks Menu" to "Bookmarks Toolbar" and then click Done
Some users like to drag the padlock or globe from the left end of the address bar to the Bookmarks Toolbar, but if you always want the new bookmark added at the end, then this is not efficient.

Open With default Application in Bridge

When I double click a "RW2" file in Bridge my Photomatix application opens the file. Nowhere in the file associations do I see Photomatix or the "RW2" file format for that matter. I reset to default associations - still no joy. The only app showing in the "Open With" pull down in Bridge is "Photomatix (default)". How so I change this default to PS4?

To my knowledge RW2 is the Raw format for Panasonic ?
The file type association in Bridge prefs should be found under Panasonic.
In your situation it might show Photomatix. (mind you that Photomatix claims
to rather not convert Raw files in their own app because they have no good
converter for that and they are better in working with tiff). See if you
have the option to change this to CS4.
If not you will have to look in the supported Raw formats for your ACR
converter to see if your camera model is supported in the list for the ACR
plug in for CS4:
Try this link (otherwise find it with a search on the Adobe.com site):
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
Mind that this is already the ACR 6 version that will only work with CS5.
Scroll down for the latest version for CS4 which should be ACR 5.7
Check your version in PSCS4: go to the menu Photoshop / about plug ins /
Camera Raw, This should show only one plug in with version 5.7
Also try to convert the files to DNG using Adobe's free DNG converter. DNG
files have much benefit and work also with older ACR and PS versions:
http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/
Problem is BTW longstanding, every vendor uses his own Camera Raw format and
to makes things worse, they also make a slightly different format for almost
every new type of camera they put on the market.
Adobe kindly delivers about 3 to 4 times a year a free new update for ACR
and DNG with support for most of those cameras.
It is best to first check compatibility with new cameras and third party
software. If you want to work with Raw files you better wait until support
is there or you have to use the vendor software (not always that nice to
work with)
The only app showing in the "Open With" pull down in Bridge is "Photomatix
(default)". How so I change this default to PS4?

Acrobat X: Can you make 'open' the default option when opening sharepoint documents?

When you open a sharepoint document with acrobat X, you get the pop-up screen asking you how you want to access the file. The option are 'check out and open', or just 'open'.
Is it possible to make 'open' the default access methode, so that you don't have to click on the pop-up for every document?

Hi Deedee,
No, it's not really possible to set this default.
That said, there's a registry key setting you can change to disable the SharePoint integration feature though.
They key is:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\FeatureLockdown\cSharePoint
Summary: Disables the SharePoint integration features.
Details: Controlls the application's ability to detect that a file came from a Sharepoint server, disables the check-out prompt, and removes the SharePoint specific menu items. Possible values include:
0: Disable the SharePoint integration features.
1: Same as "null." Don't disable the SharePoint integration features.
This may not really fit your need though.

Called form crashes, when called with default option

Here is the problem statement.
My problem is regarding the called_form built-in function of Oracle forms.
I am calling call_form within a loop.
call_form('schdule_task');
In first iteration it opens the called form and when the user clicks on exit button it comes back to the calling form and starts next iteration.But in next iteration the called form comes up and crashes immediately, causing the application to crash.
The calling form does not get a chance to become visible because by default call_form executes with 'HIDE'(hide the calling form) option.
Now if I execute the above mentioned call_form statement with "NO_HIDE" option then the called form does not crash in any of the iteration and the loop runs fine till the end.
call_form('schdule_task',NO_HIDE);
What can be the problem? Is it related to call_form call or something else?

Changing Open With Default App Won't Stick...

I have a couple of versions of the same app installed and I need the older version of the app to be the default app that globally opens whenever I double-click one of its files.
I've tried the Get Info -> Open With -> Select App ->Change All procedure but after clicking the Change All button, it immediately reverts back to the newer version of the application.
I need to be able to support both versions of the app. I've tried downloading RCDefaultApp but that didn't help. Moving the newer version app to another partition is not option. Re-installing the newer version of the app onto another partition is not an option either.
I would be grateful for any suggestions
Thanks,
Jon

The two Get Info options seem to use different methods to select the application. The 'Open with:' changes the Finder's default application property, but it looks like the 'Change All…' button uses the file type identifier to find the default application. Since the file type identifier is usually the same for all versions, the latest version is apparently the one that gets used. You should be able to select the older version on a file-by-file basis, or use the file inspector to change multiple documents. An AppleScript could also be used, perhaps a folder action to change the default application for files dropped into a folder.

How to change "open with" defaults via command line?!?

folks,
i know that if i get info on a file -- in this case, a filemaker 5.5 file -- i can choose the default "open with" settings and apply those settings to all files of that kind. see the attached image for what i mean.
but how do i do that via the command line?
thus far, here's what i've got: i know that i can open a document called "scrubbing shell.sh" on my desktop WITH either MS Word of TextEdit by calling:
open -a textedit /Users/david/Desktop/scrubbing-shell.sh
or
open -a Microsoft\ Word /Users/david/Desktop/scrubbing-shell.sh
no sweat. BUT....how do i set the defaults so that it ALWAYS opens with that app in the future when double-clicking via the GUI?
many thanks, ya'll!

Hi David,
   OK, I investigated the new format and treatment. It appears that the first entry in the property list file that matches the file being opened wins. The Finder may still honor the new format; when I moved my old Panther file into Tiger it seemed to work. However, in other ways, the Finder doesn't recognize the old format, which is the format of the FileMaker entries you posted.
   The Finder puts all of the new format entries at the beginning of the property list file. If you change a preference that was controlled by an old format entry, the Finder won't edit that entry. What it will do is to create a new entry in the new format closer to the beginning of the file than any of the old-format entries. SInce the new entry comes first, the old one doesn't apply. If you then edit the preference and change it back to what it was before, the Finder will edit the new entry. Consider the following sequence of events and commands:
% cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy.plist
I change all GIF files to be opened by GraphicConverter instead of Preview, which is an old setting in the old format.
% plutil -convert xml1 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
% diff --text ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy.plist
404,409d403
<      <dict>
<         <key>LSHandlerContentType</key>
<         <string>com.compuserve.gif</string>
<         <key>LSHandlerRoleAll</key>
<         <string>com.lemkesoft.graphicconverter</string>
<      </dict>
Then I change all the GIF files to be opened by Preview again.
% plutil -convert xml1 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
% cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy2.plist
% diff --text ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy.plist
404,409d403
<       <dict>
<          <key>LSHandlerContentType</key>
<          <string>com.compuserve.gif</string>
<          <key>LSHandlerRoleAll</key>
<          <string>com.apple.preview</string>
<       </dict>
% diff --text ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices_copy2.plist
408c408
<          <string>com.apple.preview</string>
          <string>com.lemkesoft.graphicconverter</string>
   Note that I had to change the file to text after every change because the Finder converted the file to binary format every time it edited it. I didn't have to logout or reboot; the property list file change less than a second after the preference was set. I'm guessing that because you were just looking at the old-format entry, you missed the real changes to your property list file. Did it change from text to binary format? Try the command line tools that I used above.
   Note that this means that it matters where you put your entries in the property list file if you edit it.

How do i set new tabs to open with default homepage

I want each tab I open to default to Google. I can do this with IE, is it possible with Firefox

You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
You can look at one of these extensions:
* NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221
* New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/777

Open with default options
