Open with Default Photoshop

I have few photoshop installed with my Mac Pro :
1. Drive 1 basically a clone copy of my Drive 4
2. Drive 4 10.8
But every time I open a raw file NEF from Bridge, the photo shows up in Camera Raw, after the editing I try to open with Photoshop, it always open the one in Drive 1.
I would like to make the CS6 in drive 4 one as my default Photoshop to be opened
How to do it ?

Sounds more like a Windows issue than Photoshop. Can you test the Open with tool with other file types and programs?
I'm also surprised that Photoshop does not appear in the main list, and that you have to hunt for it with Browse. Have you tried navigating to the same .exe file in Explorer and making sure it launches Photoshop.

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.

Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4. When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4. When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

Clarification: this is a user forum; you are not addressing Adobe here.
The answer to your question as phrased is: never.
CS5 is history and it is not longer supported. There will not be any updates or bug fixes for CS5.
You need to convert the raw NEF files from your D810 to raw DNGs using the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 RC (beta), the first version ever to support that camera..

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,

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?

Open with = no photoshop

windows xp when i right click on some images in bridge cs3 + go to open with my choices are ill. cs3 or microsoft picture manager or paint ? how do i get photoshop cs3 there + make it default.

When you get the dialog hit Browse and browse to Photoshop.exe and choose it. Make sure the "Always Use..." box is checked. That ought to do it.

Simple Question-How to change open with default

This should be a simple thing to do but the system preferences don't allow me to change it. I want to open jpegs with Preview and Photoshop is the default.
Besides,the system preferences is pretty lame to me. Very basic stuff. Can anyone help me with this?
Can I be notified by email? [email protected] Thanks!
Mike

Click once on a jpeg. Do a Get-Info, (command-I). In the drop down window Open with: select Preview. then select Change all.

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

ViewKind Parameter Ignored in ProjectItem.Open if ProjectItem is Set to Open With Default External Editor

Hi all,
In my VS2010 extension, I have just encountered a situation which I can find no workaround for. As always, I went to Carlos Quintero's MZ-Tools first to see if I could find an answer. In this excellent article of his (http://www.mztools.com/articles/2007/mz2007027.aspx),
he discusses how to get "the ProjectItem in the desired view using ProjectItem.Open(viewKind), which returns an EnvDTE.Window object."
This is the behavior I have experienced until I noticed that if a user selects "Open With..." and sets a default external program to open a given item with, I can no longer programmatically open the item in the text editor (this is required
functionality for my extension, since I am not setting the Window to visible, anyway). The screenshot below illustrates my point, even though I am working with my own custom extensions.
In this case, calling ProjectItem.Open with every available ViewKind value will cause Program.cs to open in Notepad rather than the text editor. The Window returned from the Open call is always null in this case.
Is there any way I can force an item to open in the text editor, regardless what its default program/viewer is? Thanks for your help,
-Mike

I don't think that is a bug but a limitation of the automation model.
As workaround, you can use the following method:
IVsUIShellOpenDocument.OpenSpecificEditor
If you want something somewhat more palatable you can use the following method:
VsShellUtilities.OpenDocumentWithSpecificEditor
Editor guids are stored in the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0_Config\Editors, but since you are only interested in the text editor guid, you are lucky because there is already a constant defined Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSConstants.GUID_TextEditorFactory.
There is also a constant defined for the logical view: Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSConstants.LOGVIEWID.TextView_guid.
So, even if text files are set to open with Notepad, this code should open them in the text editor:
         string fullPath;
         Guid editorGuid;
         Guid logicalViewGuid;
         IVsWindowFrame windowFrame;
         fullPath = projectItem.get_FileNames(0);
         editorGuid = Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSConstants.GUID_TextEditorFactory;
         logicalViewGuid = Microsoft.VisualStudio.VSConstants.LOGVIEWID.TextView_guid;
         windowFrame = Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.VsShellUtilities.OpenDocumentWithSpecificEditor(this, fullPath, editorGuid, logicalViewGuid);
         if (windowFrame != null)
            windowFrame.Show();

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.

Audio file "open with" default setting

Hi,
Each time i export a file from Logic, i see the Logic logo, and it says "open with" Logic if i make get info.
I'd like to export audio files that would open with QuickTime as the default application.
Where is that preference located ?
thanks

You do exactly that in the "I"nfo menue - open any exported file - apple+hit "I" - select "open with quicktime" and in the field below select "change all" (translated from my german menue - then all files will open in quick time as default.

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.

Is this what you're looking for?

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.

Open with Editor "Photoshop" question

Hi, when I open my pictures using Photoshop as en external editor the open as 16 Bits channel, how can I tell Aperture to send my pictures to Photoshop using 8 bits channel mode instead of 16?
thanks

First and foremost, when outputting a file for a client, you do not want to "Open With External Editor". This is just for making changes to an image with Photoshop. You want to Export a version, and there is where you can choose 8 or 16 bit for TIFs. When exporting you also have the option of creating JPGs.
Even if you want to edit a photo using Photoshop, you need to do a FILE>SAVE when done making changes. THEN, you would EXPORT that file from within Aperture as TIF or JPG.

Who do "open with" defaults change after rebooting??

All,
I tried to launch this question in different words before but somehow never got a reply.
I know in "get info" you can supposedly change the default with "open with ---> change all".
Supposedly.............it works, until you reboot.
I want NOT to use preview to look at pictures because I do not like the fact that you can`t work with the arrow "next / last" or with the keyboard arrows.
Now people already explained to me how to select all pics in preview etc, but that´s too complicated for just looking at a few picture quickly. Also it´s not my question.............
My question is: how do I change my default picture viewer for good??
I tried it the windows way............right click on a picture, open with and tick the box "always open with" at the bottom but that don´t work either, I´m afraid.
I spent 2 hours trying............I even deleted Preview from "programs" but this defaults to a picture adjustment program..........still not what I want.
I like Xee, went into preferences of "Xee", ticked the files that it has to open, it works fine............until I reboot. Am I the only one in the world that struglles with this??
Please Apple-gurus...........help me!!
Surely Leopard hasn´t got this error?? Why bother with an "open always" button if it gets reset as soon as I happen to switch off my Macbook Pro??????
Does Snow Leopard change this perhaps??
Cheers,
Not a Clue.

Well, not exactly. You said you tried using Open With, but that could have been from the contextual menu as opposed to using Get Info. I interpreted the former from your post.
If they are not permanently changed it could be for a variety of reasons. One is the filetypes/extensions are not similar. For example changing the default for a .doc file is not the same as changing the default for a .docx file. Also changing the default for a document without an extension isn't likely to work. To work properly the document file must have the normal extensions assigned by the default application that opens that file.
Another possibility is a problem with the LaunchServices database. You can try resetting it as follows:
Rebuild LaunchServices Database
For Tiger users
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste in the following command in its entirety:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServic es.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Press RETURN.
For Leopard users
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste in the following command in its entirety:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Press RETURN.
And, if you haven't done so already I would suggest the precautionary:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
