'Open with' issues

I'm having an issue with the Open with function. I used to be able to double click on an Adobe Illustrator EPS and the file would open in Illustrator and when double clicking an Adobe Photoshop file, it would open in Photoshop. Something has changed and now these files are not recognized as unique to separate applications, all EPS files open in Illustrator because the Open with all is set to Illustrator.
Is there a way to set things back to the way they were when it seemed Finder based its decision on how to open on the icon?
thanks.

Exactly what I was going to suggest, BUT . . . it failed for me. Every time I went to change the app this way it always reverted. But I think it's not the OS, but Adobe CS and later. I have Photoshop (reg) and CS, and the moment I started using CS it high jacked all my files. Right after the first startup of CS all the regular Adobe file icons changed to the CS ones and I could no longer reselect the regular app in the file info window and get it to apply to all. And it wouldn't always stick for the single file either. I stuffed PSCS and all was well again. Unstuffed it and everything went CS.
But another problem is that PS is dog slow in 10.4.5.

Bridge "open with" issue Mac OS

Hi & Thanks,
I am using CS6 on a Mac and when I choose to open a file with the "open with" command from the edit menu or right clicking the file I get mutliple options of numorus editors. Photoshop, Nik apps, Color sync utility, Preview. They will all open but some open with older versions.
Bottom line is I need to pair down Bridge's offered choices to just one of every application. Yes only one version of every app is installed.

Hi Curt,
I appreciate your reply. I resolved the issue I was incurring. I kept a clone of my hardrive mounted on the desktop at all times. The primary OS that Bridge was operating under would access this clone for choices too. Weird yes, so once I ejected the disk the issue went away.
Thanks, Sid

Irritating "Open with" issue in the context menu

Hi all,
When I click on a file and then choose "Open with" in the context menu, I get multiple instances of the same program instead of just one instance. For example, if I click on a document, the context menu may have 4 instances of Preview and 3 instances of Safari, etc. Is there anyway to eliminate the multiple instances?
Thanks

This usually results from corruption in the LaunchServices cache. Numerous fixes have been posted and it appears that they do work, for the most part. Search the forum here and you should find a few topics.
I've read of a few problems encountered after deleting the cache files. Use your own discretion.
It basically involves deleting the two LaunchServices files followed by a restart... Go to Library>Caches
It might also be necessary to delete a preference file as well...
Home>Library>Preferences>com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
Some third party utilities offer this service as well...Tiger Cache Cleaner, Onyx, etc.

Will EC support setting default file type and Open With from file menu?

The default file types I can live without, but at least allow for Open With on right click from Windows Explorer.
I currently have EC set in the Open With programs list, but EC does not comply for any files I opt to open it with (.css, .php, .html etc).
EC open but not the file I choose.
Also, even though the above use case is not ideal when if I do attempt an Open With when EC is already open, a new application session starts instead of attempting to open in the currently active app frame. It would be ideal to allow for single app frame, multiple files when Open With is employed.

Hey Darrell,
Thanks for the feedback. How Edge Code treats files is definitely something we know isn't ideal and it's something we're looking at fixing soon. There's currently a story on the Brackets backlog that adresses the Open With issue - https://trello.com/c/GhF1Bgf9
And it based on howit ranks in that priority it looks like we could potentially take that into Edge Code over the next couple of months.
This is definitely a feature that we think is important before we consider ourselves 1.0 so it's high priority.

I am having an issue with my adobe acrobat 9 pro. Every time I try to open a pdf from someone it opens it up with my free adobe reader rather than the Acrobat 9 pro so then I don't have all of the functions of 9 pro. How do I get it to open with 9 pro instead of the free reader?

It may depend on the plugin that is loaded into your browser. However, right click on a PDF and select the Open With option and go to the default button to select Acrobat as the default. That might do it.

PDF file from Outlook folder created with Standard X not opened with Reader XI _ Flash issue ?

Dear Community,
I tried to fix this issue but i have to admit i'm stuck right now :
Computer on windows 7 SP1 with Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Standard X installed.
On Outlook 2010, I convert a folder to a PDF file so i can navigate offline and share the mails with colleagues.
At the end of the conversion, Adobe Standard X opens and all the tree architecture of the PDf is available, browse in all files, open attached documents...
But as soon as, on my computer or on other computer only with Reader XI, the PDF file (whatever it's size and number of mails inside) is to be opened with Reader, there's a message saying that flash player compatible with Adobe Reader and Acrobat as to be installed.
There's no precision regarding the flash version to use, and clicking on the link to open web browser, no page is opened (no internet issue).
After 1 minute, Reader finnally opens but only displaying the first file of the PDF (in my case the first mail of the outlook folder).
i have the latest flash player version installed
Can anybody tell me if this problem is known ? or if someone knows how to fix it so the pdf file can be fully used in Reader ??
Many thanks for your help.
Regards
AppleAddict

Hi Kiro ,
Did you try opening that file in any other browser ?If not ,please try doing that once and see if that works for you.
Try Repairing Acrobat once and see if that helps.

Issue with "Open with Explorer" feature

Hello
Since the middle of last week, our users are experiencing some strange issues with the feature "Open with Explorer".
This feature is normally working perfectly, but from time to time, the users are receiving the error message when clicking on the button: "We´re having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and
try again.".
In all those computers, the SharePoint site is already in Trusted Sites list or in Local Intranet list. Moreover, just closing Internet Explorer and reopening it fix the issue.
Do you know what could be the reason of such a strange behavior?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Yann

Make sure you are not running into the following scenario.
SPS13
"Open with Explorer" random error "We're having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and try again"
I quote directly from the above blog post but make sure you read the entire blog post.
The cause and the resolution methods are the following:
Cause: There is a missing Root site collection...
Resolution:
Check and ensure, that the “Managed Paths”
are not changed
in the web Application’s page, there is a (root) explicit for
this web application and there is a working Root site collection.

Issue with 'open with' bridge cc

hey all,
i've searched and all the discussions that 'start' with a similar question, get diverted, or people who are 'trying' to help don't really read the question, so here i hope to make is clear so the correct answer will be provided.
specs - windows 8, adobe cc suite (all updated), mainly use pshop, ai, acrobat, lightroom, dw.
BUT i have pshop and ai cs6 STILL installed, because a couple filters / plugins (nik) didn't work on CC when it was initially released. so now nik (google) is all happy with CC so i uninstalled pshop / ai cs6. but now in bridgeCC when i right click on an icon / file i'm given only one 'open with' option. so if it's a pdf that i want to open with pshop or illustrator, it shows the default 'adobe acrobat' to open with, which is correct, but i used to get the option of acrobat / pshopCC / illustratorCC but now only acrobat.
i KNOW i can go to bridgeCC preferences and change the default to something other than acrobat but then it won't give me acrobat anymore. i want the old options of having a CHOICE as the pdf may be best edited in illustrator or pshop.
even when going to bridge FILE>OPEN WITH it only gives one option.
thinking it may have been that i uninstalled pshop / ai cs6, i then uninstalled bridgeCC and redownloaded but it still gave me only one option on 'open with'
this was caused by UNINSTALLING pshop cs6 and ai cs6. i know this as fact because i did a system restore and the options came back. but since i'm not using pshop / ai cs6 anymore, i would like to uninstall them to as i'm not using them.
i've seen other people with this issue but the answer is never clear or gets sidetracked to a regedit issue, which i don't believe is true as when i right click on a file in windows explorer i can do PROPERTIES and change the associate file with but to be clear in BRIDGE CC i want MULTIPLE OPTIONS of programs / apps to open a file with.
hope this makes sense and thanks in advance.

You can add anything you want via scripting, here is an example of setting up Photoshop CS5, Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 to OpenWith.
Save the script as PLAIN text and save it with a .jsx extension. In Bridge goto Preferences - Startup Scripts and click the "Reveal My Startup Scripts"
this will open the folder where the script should be saved.
#target bridge
//Examples of Open With
//Photoshop CS5
var photoshopCS5 = new MenuElement("command", "Send to Photoshop CS5", "at the end of submenu/OpenWith");
photoshopCS5.onSelect = function (){
var photoshopCS5Path = "C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\\Photoshop.exe";
var sels = app.document.selections;
try{
    for(var a in sels){sels[a].openWith(photoshopCS5Path); };
    }catch(e){alert(e)}
//Photoshop CS6
var photoshopCS6 = new MenuElement("command", "Send to Photoshop CS6", "at the end of submenu/OpenWith");
photoshopCS6.onSelect = function (){
var photoshopCS6Path = "C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\\Photoshop.exe";
var sels = app.document.selections;
try{
    for(var a in sels){sels[a].openWith(photoshopCS6Path); };
    }catch(e){alert(e)}
//Illustrator CS6
var illustratorCS6 = new MenuElement("command", "Send to Illustrator CS6", "at the end of submenu/OpenWith");
illustratorCS6.onSelect = function (){
var illustratorCS6Path = "C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64 Bit)\\Support Files\\Contents\\Windows\\Illustrator.exe";
var sels = app.document.selections;
try{
    for(var a in sels){sels[a].openWith(illustratorCS6Path); };
    }catch(e){alert(e)}
Good luck.

Event handler - open with explorer issue

hi all,
I have developed an event handler (itemadded syncronuos) for a library. i need to populate title field
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
base.ItemAdded(properties);
properties.ListItem["Title"] = "some value"
properties.ListItem.SystemUpdate();
I have deployed the same feature to 2 environments -> Dev Env, Test Env.
when I copy and paste a pdf file with "Open with explorer" in Dev Env it works fine.
when I do the same in Test Env i can't copy the file and i get this error:
Error 0x80070057: the parameter is incorrect.
I see this in my Event Viewer
The description for Event ID 14901 from source WebClient cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
Could you help me?
Thanks.

On your local machine you are as you on the server, are you try it on the test server or browsing the test environment from local machine and doing the copy from local machine. also i hope your event handler is not firing on all the list, just make
sure. You can try this in a different library..create a fresh library and see what happen without event handler.

Issues with GPO for Open With/Folder Type

Hello,
We have a mixed environment of x86 and x64 Windows 7 systems. We are using Windows Server R2 Group Policy. We want to associate certain type of file to open with Excel. In user configurations\Preferences\Folder Options, I added two entries to associate
the file type to open with Excel. One entry for x86 with correct path to Excel.exe and the other the same way for x64 systems. What I have found though is that 2nd entry is the only one that applies to ALL systems. This changes the Registry key HKEY\Classes\Root\Applications\Excel.exe.
Therefore, the 32 bit systems receive that GPO with the wrong path to open these files with Excel so it doesnt work.
1. How can I avoid this so that all systems open the file type with Excel, regardless if they are x86 or x64?
2. Why does it allow you to enter muliple lines in the Folder Options, but only apply one of them to everyone?
Thanks

> 1. How can I avoid this so that all systems open the file type with

Click "common", item level targeting. Target for Environment variable
"PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE", value "AMD64" or "X86".
> 2. Why does it allow you to enter muliple lines in the Folder Options,
> but only apply one of them to everyone?
Both apply to everyone, but the second overwrites the first if you do
not use item level targeting.

Photoshop-When opening image without tab view, image opens with only a portion in view

I having an issue with CC.
When electing in the preferences to not open image in Tabs. The images open with only about 25% of the image area showing. Forcing me to (command) 0 for full to screen preview or (command) +/- to see the image.
I am not talking about seeing the image at 100% resolution just the entire image within the floating window without having to command before view.
Sidenote: Adobe Customer Service is all based in India. I spent 4 hours on the phone only to hear that this is that way photoshop works.
There would be no logical explanation for this. Since the first version of Photoshop this has not been the case.
I think this should be called view porn with wife in the room mode. Other than that I see no point.
Can anyone help?

MS Excel document as attachment to a PDF document does not open with a hot spot/link in the PDF

Hi, I have attached an excel file to a pdf document. I need to open this document in a new window by clicking an icon/hotspot in the pdf document to which it it attached.
I am using the Link Tool to create a hot spot around the icon in the pdf. In the next window I am using the Go to Page view option, opening the attachment to its first page and clicking the "set link" button.
For some reason, clicking the hotspot does not open the excel document as it does another pdf document.
Need help resolving this issue with attached documents.

Select a particular download file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section choose the desired default application from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button.
For .dmg files use DiskImageMounter (System/Library/CoreServices/ folder.)
For .zip files use Archiver - same folder as above - or download TheArchiver - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

Not able to copying files/folders from one Document Library to another Document Library using Open with Browser functionality

Hi All,
We have SharePoint Production server 2013 where users are complaining that they are not able to copy or move files from one document library to another document library using “Open with Explorer” functionality.
We tried to activate publishing features on production server but it did not work. We users reported following errors:
Copying files from one document library to another document library:
Tried to map the document libraries and still not get the error to copy files:
In our UAT environment we are able to copy and move folders from using “Open with Explorer” though.
We have tried to simulate in the UAT environment but could not reproduce the production environment.
Any pointers about this issue would be highly appertained.
Thanks in advance

Hi John and all,
One the newly created web applications that we created few days back and navigated to document library, clicked on “Open with Explorer”, we get this error.
We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this website to your trusted and try again.
We added to the trusted site in Internet Explorer for this web application, cleared the cache and open the site with same document library but still get the same above error.
However, another existing web application (In same the Farm) that we are troubleshooting at the moment, we are able click on “Open with Explorer”, login in credentials opens and we entered the details we are able to open the document
library and tried to follow these steps:
From Windows Explorer (using with Open with Explorer), tried to copy or move a files to
source document library.
From Windows Explorer moved this file to another destination document library and we got this error.
What we have to achieve is users should be able to copy files and folders using
Open with Explorer functionality. We don’t know why Open with Explorer
functionality not work working for our environment.
Are we doing something wrong?
We have referred to following websites.
we hope concepts of copying / Moving files are similar as SharePoint 2010. Our production environment is SharePoint 2013.
