But I don't know how to achiewe the following funcionality:
When I click the button in form the file is downloadad automaticly from DB to client and default application (Win Word for .DOC, AcrobatReader for .DBF...) is opened with opened file inside.
Where can I find some useful example ?
Thank and regards

Hi,
after downloaded the file to the client, you can use the client_host command to start the application and open the file.

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.

Open file with default application

Hello, I need open a file from AIR develop with a windows
default application, i cant do. Thank

That is a request that has had some heated discussions in the

know there is no supported way to do it.

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...

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.

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."

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'

Changing file extension default application

Hello, I periodically change my .avi and .mpg movies default "open with" application to VLC, but although the association change in first place, in a few days the default application mysteriously turn back to QuickTime.
Is this a bug or an Apple QuickTime appropriative policy? Anyway, is there any way to change to VLC permanently?
Thanks in advance
iBook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Open one of your .avi or .mpg file's "Get Info" window. Pick a new "Open With" application and click the "Change All" button. Confirm your changes.
From this point on (until you change it again) any time you double-click to open any of these files your chosen app will be used to play the file.
You can temporarily override these settings by Control-clicking on a icon and choosing a different app from the pull down menu.

File Associations & Default Application

Hi All,
First time post so please be gentle.
I have a file (extension qif) which at the moment opens with a windows program via Codeweavers Crossover. I now need to change this to open with a little Applescript application I have written myself. So off I toddle to Get Info, Open With, other, select my QIF2OFX application, click change all...and the application flips back to the previous setting. Now I have tried this on my MacBookPro which doesn't even have Codeweavers or the windows app installed (and so no default program) and it still won't allow me to change the default program for all files. I can change it for the instance of that individual file (for as long as it exists) but as for all files, no joy.
Any ideas anybody?
Best regards,
Chris

Opening files with selected applications.

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.

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
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486
Restart, select a More document, and see if that fixes things.

Opening files from java application by other programs

Hi! Could you tell me how to solve such task. After saving of file on local drive by applet i need to show a link "View file" that will open file by assotiated programs (.doc - MSWord, .pdf - Acrobat Reader etc. applet will work on Linux platform too). Thanks!

Just provide a link to the file and leave it up to the OS to determine which program to use to open it.

Google Chrome doesn't open files with any applications

Hey all,
After downloading stuff, it is desirable to open the files downloaded; however this is made difficult on my Arch system because Chrome doesn't know what to open the files with, nor does it ask.
I'm using SLiM, xmonad, and have a rather minimalistic set up.
Secondary to this, Chrome cannot determine by itself whether it is the default browser application.
I don't know where I could provide this information to Chrome, Can anybody help?
Thanks

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?

This is not easy but you can find info there :
