Opening a custom file "Open With..."

Hi, I have created a program which uses file types, and have my own file type. I know how to make the application open when you double click those items, or if I use "Open With...", but the program does not open the contents of the file. How
can I make it open the file, for example if you were to open a Word Document, it would open in MS Word and it would actually load the text in the file. Thanks.

Hi,
Sorry for misunderstanding you.
If you want to know how you can make your program to open the custom file content when you open the program, it is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses the usage issue of Visual Studio IDE such as
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
I suggest consulting on some development forums for better response.

  • [5D Mark III] Why begins my custom file name with an underscore

    Hi everybody,
    I am confused. I have set up a custom file name (Menu Screen: "Set Up 1" -> "User Setting 2") with 3 individual letters and the used image size. I set it up as "RAW" so the output should be like "RAWL0001.cr2" but the filenames are always using underscores instead of the first custom letter:  "_AWL0001.cr2".
    I have also tried the "User Setting 1" which has 4 individual letters and no indication for the image size within the file name.
    Same here.
    What baffles me most, is that the manual states that it is not allowed to use an underscore on the first position.
    Anybody an idea?
    Regards,
    Oliver

  • How to add custom file icons on SharePoint 2010 document library?

    Hi there,
    In a document library SharePoint shows the PDF and Word etc icons all fine - however we have a custom file format with a custom icon. Is this possible to add this custom icon for our custom extension? How?
    Thank you so much.

    Hi,
    You could accomplish your requirement by using jQuery with these steps, and this code is using jQuery to modify it on the current page, if you would like to make it work on all library, you need to choose the former method or add this JQuery script on all
    library pages manually:
    Upload a custom icon to file “14\ Template\Images” or your SharePoint document library.
    Add this code below in the document library that you want to extend your custom icon, you could add code by following these: Click edit page in the document library -> add a web part -> choose Content Editor -> click edit source in the Ribbon ->
    add the source below -> click OK.
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
    var fileObject = $("[title$='docx']");
    for(var i=0; i < fileObject.length; i++){
    //fileObject[i].outerHTML="<img width=\"16\" height=\"16\" title=\"test.docx\" alt=\"test.docx\" src=\"/_layouts/15/images/custom.png\" border=\"0\">"; // upload your custom icon to file ” 14\ Template\Images”, replace your src URL
    fileObject[i].outerHTML="<img width=\"16\" height=\"16\" title=\"test.docx\" alt=\"test.docx\" src=\"/sites/sharepoint2013/Shared%20Documents/custom.png\" border=\"0\">"; // upload your custom icon to SharePoint document library, replace your src URL

  • Changing default open with for file type for all users

    hello
    can I change the default app to open a specific file type for all users and not juist for my user?
    i am admin for my mac mini.
    tnx
    gil

    What applications are offered for open with depends on the application itself informing the system it can open certain files, plus your own custom selections for opening files. Evidently the alternate app you want to use does not claim to be able to open the files you are assigning it. If you have a plist editor and know how to use it you could edit the info.plist file inside the application itself to add the file type you want to the application's declaration of file types it will open. Then restart so the system will read that declaration. I think it would be far easier to simply launch the application and then drop a file you want it to open onto its icon in the Dock.

  • Unable to open files associated with Adobe Reader - program goes into a loop

    i am unable to open any file associated with adobe reader or adobe pro.  when i double-click the file, adobe reader opens up but it goes into a loop. 
    adobe reader opens, then a progress window opens, as if the file will open but adobe closes and opens again and the same cycle repeats itself until i manually close the program.
    any advice?
    update:
    i can open regular .PDF files when i double-click the icon and i can also open .PDF files when i open adobe reader first and then choose open file.  it's just the .FDF files that are the problem (so far).
    the file in question happens to be an .FDF extension, which is an internet generated form. i attached a screen shot of the screen that pops up, goes away, and pops up again that creates the loop.
    the white out section is the server name where the file was saved to.  but i also get the same symptoms when i am in internet explorer, hit the generate form button.

    hey ankit,
    sorry i didn't see a notification that you replied to this discussion.
    "1. Generate a new PDF and a FDF file. Try opening the same and see if it behaves the same way."
    yes, it does behave the same way, it's just a continuous loop until i have to kill the process.
    "2. Check if you have access to the PDF that is being used by the particular FDF."
    by this do you mean the correct permissions?  if that is what you mean, then yes, the permissions are set correctly.
    "3. If possible, please send me the FDF and the associated PDF that is behaving in this way on your system."
    i really wish i could but the information in the form is sensitive and cannot be sent. 
    as an update though, i reimaged the customer's workstation, installed Adobe Reader 10.1.1 and it worked perfectly (finally).  HOWEVER, after about two weeks the same symptoms returned! 

  • CS5.5 files: can 5.5 files be opened with 5?

    In the middle of a project with a collaborator. If I upgrade to 5.5, will the user of 5 be able to open files also?
    Thanks

    Yes.
    The code is plain text HTML so not proprietary or custom file formats.
    If you upgrade to 5.5, you can keep 5 on your computer and still use that whenever you wish (close 5.5 first).

  • Open with command - EPS file confusion.

    I recieved a folder of Illustrator vector eps files that seemed to want to open in Photoshop by default. I changed all in Finder to 'open with' Illustrator CS.
    Now my Photoshop files try to open in Illustrator too. So I change all to open in Photoshop and am back to square one with vectors opening there by default too.
    Is there a way to set Illustrator EPS to open in Illustrator and Photoshop EPS to open in Photoshop? I know I can just drag them onto the relevant icon but if I double click a Photoshop EPS I have to force out of Illustrator to stop it opening.
    Who's bright idea it was to give two distinctly different file formats the same extension anyway?

    I think the underlying cause of the problem is the change Apple has made in how Launch Services is identifying these files in Tiger.
    An Illustrator EPS file has a creator code of 'ART5', a file type of 'EPSF', and a filename extension of ".eps". A Photoshop EPS file has a creator code of '8BIM', a file type of 'EPSF' (same as an Illy EPS), and a filename extension of ".eps" (again, same as an Illy EPS).
    Prior to OS X 10.4, Launch Services would consider an Illustrator EPS file to be different from a Photoshop EPS file because of the different creator codes on the file. (While we know that they are "different" based on the type of data they contain (i.e. vector vs. raster), Launch Services doesn't really know anything about the content of the files; it only looks at the file properties to make its decisions). Since they were different, you could choose to have one open in Illustrator and the other open in Photoshop. So, just by default, Photoshop EPS files would open in Photoshop and Illustrator EPS files would open in Illustrator.
    In OS X 10.4, Apple changed some things around. Prior to 10.4, a combination of a file's creator code, file type, and filename extension were mapped to a particular application that would open it. In 10.4, the file's creator code, file type, and filename extension aren't mapped directly to an application, but to an intermediary called a "Uniform Type Identifier" (UTI). It's the UTI then that is mapped to an application that will open it. The UTI for an EPS file is the string "com.adobe.encapsulated- postscript". Launch Services doesn't really distinguish between an Illustrator "com.adobe.encapsulated-postscript" file or a Photoshop "com.adobe.encapsulated-postscript" file. So, what happens is that both an Illustrator EPS file (creator code 'ART5', file type 'EPSF', filename extension ".eps") and a Photoshop EPS file (creator code '8BIM', file type 'EPSF', filename extension ".eps") are mapped to the same UTI type, "com.adobe.encapsulated- postscript", which itself can be globally mapped to only one application. In other words, globally either Illustrator or Photoshop, but not both.
    While not ideal, files do support a per-file preference setting. So if you have a global setting to open eps files in Illustrator then by default double-clicking on will, well, open them in Illustrator. If you have a Photoshop EPS file and would like to open it in Photoshop, you could use the Get Info window to choose Photoshop instead -- just don't click the Change All button. That file, from then on, should always open in Photoshop when you double click on it. (That "user override" preference is saved in the resource fork of the file so it should stay with it).
    The switch to UTIs has helped simplify things quite a bit, such as this example with the different types of PDF files. Prior to OS X 10.4, you'd have to repeat the custom "Open With" preference for each type of PDF, which was confusing for most users.
    Technically, both Illustrator EPS files and Photoshop EPS files contain the same type of information: Encapsulated PostScript; the fact that Adobe provides two applications, one to edit image-based EPS files, and a second to edit vector-based EPS files is somewhat beside the point. While you could send feedback to Apple about this, I think it's probably up to Adobe to figure something out. They could quite easily define Illustrator EPS and Photoshop EPS files as subclasses of "com.adobe.encapsulated-postscript". For example, vector-based Illustrator EPS files might be "com.adobe.encapsulated-postscript.vector" that conform to "com.adobe.encapsulated-postscript", while raster-based Photoshop EPS files might be "com.adobe.encapsulated-postscript.raster" that conform to "com.adobe.encapsulated-postscript". Since there'd be two distinct types, they could each be mapped to their own application.
    Hope this helps....

  • Removing obsolete file type associations from "Open With" menu

    Ever since I removed VMWare Fusion 3.x from my system, I've been unable to remove the Bootcamp file type associations that it created. For example, if I right-click on a PDF and choose Open With, this is a partial list of what I see:
    Adobe Acrobat Pro (default)
    Adobe Distiller (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
    Adobe Fireworks CS4
    Adobe Fireworks CS4 (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
    Adobe Illustrator CS4
    Adobe Illustrator (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
    Adobe Photoshop CS4
    Adobe Photoshop CS4 (Mac) - Boot Camp partition (VMWare Fusion 3.0.0)
    ...and on and on and on. 17 additional entries for Fusion for PDS's alone. This junk is driving me crazy.
    I've tried rebuilding the Launch Services database with MacPilot and Onyx (the recommended fix that I've found on the web), but the entries still are there even after restarting Finder and rebooting my iMac. I'm at a loss to figure out how to get rid of these.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    They are stored in the LaunchServices database. You can give this a try, but no guarantees. If you no longer use VM Fusion then I suggest following the information below on uninstalling software.
    Rebuild LaunchServices Database
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste in the following command in its entirety:
    find /System/Library/Frameworks -type f -name "lsregister" -exec {} -kill -seed -r \;
    Press RETURN.
    Wait for the Terminal prompt to return after which you can quit the Terminal.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • In finder, or say anything else such as downloaded files, I have to push open with in order to open the file. If I simply double-click on a document from finder, it does not open.

    Hey guys. I have this problem where when I try to open say a document from finder, I have to push "open with."
    Simply double-clicking does not work. I would greatly appreciate it if anybody could help.
    Another unrelated problem is that when I push to open itunes, it says that it is on a locked disk.
    Thanks

    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.

  • Customer line items with balance carry forward no opening balance

    Hello FI Experts,
    We have ticket where the user is using a Z* Report for Customer line items with balance carry forward. In 31.01.2007 user has posted some legacy data, latter he was executing this Z* report then user can see the values posted on the same day (31.01.2007) as line items. But he was executing the report on 01.02.2007 then he was not able to see the line item as well as the values posted on 31.01.2007 as opening balance as on 01.02.2007. But if we run the report as on 01.01.2008 then we are able to see the values which are carry forwarded as opening balances. Did anyone have worked on this type of scenario?
    Requirement Here Is:  The values that have been posted on 31.03.2007 which are still open line items should get displayed as opening balance as on 01.02.2007.
    Thanks for helping on this issue.

    Hi,
      Any report will get data from Tables. Please check whether the table you have used to develop this report has opening balance.
    Balance will be carry forwarded only when you run the balance carry forward program. Check whether this was run for the date you have specified. This can be done in the year end.
    If you are checking in the middle of the year, then the balance will not be carry forwarded.
    Regards,
    B. Radhika.

  • "Open with" Photoshop doesn't open the graphics file

    I use an old version of Photoshop (6.0) - but it does all I need, which is the reason I haven't upgraded. Sometimes over the past few years, when I've installed the programme afresh (on a new PC, or after a reinstallation of XP for instance) I get the following annoyance and I wonder if anyone has any ideas how to solve it.
    When I right-click on a jpg, bmp (etc. etc.) file and choose 'Open with  ...  Adobe Photoshop' from the context menu, this action opens up the PS programme, but the actual graphics file I have clicked on does not open with it. I have to browse for it from Photoshop once it has opened, which is annoying of course if the file is buried deep in a sub-sub-subfolder somewhere and/or I have many files to work with.
    At first I tried uninstalling and reinstalling PS, but that doesn't fix the problem. Anyone know what I can do?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    In the top dialog you can click on Change to set the default program to open the file type.
    You can add other actions, like Print and Preview, by clicking on the Advanced button (see the lower dialog) and using New... .
    You may need to click on Restore if you don't see an Advanced button.
    I use PS to open and the Viewer to preview.
