Opening files automaticaly at launch

Hey
I've recently upgraded from Indesign CS6 to CC, and there is one option I can't seem to find in the new version...
On CS6, when I would launch the application, Indesign would automaticaly re-open the files that were open when I had quit Indesign.
I can't find this option in the CC version...
It was very useful, does anyone have a solution?
Thankyou
Take care!

Hi Steve
As a matter of fact, yes my computer is running on Mac OS X, however it is not a recent version, 10.8.5 to be exact.
And unfortunately for me, the "Close Windows When Quitting an Application" option was already unchecked.
Although this was a good idea I had not thought of, I'm afraid doesn't solve my problem Not yet at least...
Any other ideas?

Using DW CC, refusing to open files "unable to launch"

hi folks
i am trying out the trial of DW CC on my laptop and have a strange error -
when i open an ASP file - it launches DW and displays the file.
BUT when i try open another ASP file - from the 'file' panel inside DW, i get this error:
i used to have a trial version of CS5.5 on this laptop, which has been disabled for a long time due to it having expired. i uninstalled it before setting up the CC trial.
by the way - when i drag the file into DW from the file explorer - it opens perfectly. but again- from within DW - i get the above error.
any ideas?
thanks!

Looks like you may need to switch the file associations. Check to make sure it looks right in...
Edit > Preferences > File Types/Editors
Also make sure the file type is associated with the right version of DW in your OS.
From your desktop, right click one of the files and choose Open With > Choose Default Program and make sure your current version of DW is selected.

I tried to desinstall, re-download and tried launch 2/3 times but each time i have the same thing.
If anyone have an idea please help !
Btw, i'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.8
Sincerely,

Please fix: Common Open File Dialog Box to support Favorites (Follow-up: Better provisioning in the Windows client)

One more thing:
What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.
Please obsolete or (re)develop components in Windows, so those components support any new workflows in Windows!
On example of an application where you cannot use Favorites is Adobe Photoshop. It uses the Common Open File Dialog Box in Windows (which does not support Favorites).
Comparing Finder (MacOS) with Windows Explorer - you "seem" to have the option of using favorites to pin folders.
Well, if your application calls Windows to use the Common Open File Dialog Box - it's actually NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL to navigate to the user concepts (user folders) pinned to favorites.
Again, the favorites namespace is completely unused (not provisioned) out-of-the-box. That's may be ok, however it's not fully implemented across Windows and just another example of stuff accumulating up to being unusable.
What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.

Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites"

I was working on iWeb today, doing the usual adding pictures, and gave a few pages some color, and a few pictures here and there.
I restart my computer, because as usual, I almost have no memory left. When the computer is running again, I opened iWeb, and I get this odd message:
Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites"
Why is this here? I didn't do anything weird to trigger such message. The site was working perfectly fine! I tried taking the domain file to the desktop, then opening it once iWeb launches from there, and same message appears. I put it back to its place, and tried putting the iWeb plist on the desktop, and same deal!
Everything is back in its place, I haven't changed or triggered anything to deserve this. I ran Onyx, full optimization update. I restarted computer, and conducted a full disk permission repairs. Only 1 error found out of another app.
My computer is healthy, my programs are running fine. What is going on? Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi
Whaow 3.1GB. I'm sure iWeb has problems with that. I have the same problem with my iWeb. I have about 100 BLOG pages with a lot of pictures. Although iWeb scales the pictures when publishing (good!) it does not scale them when they are stored in the domains file/dir (bad!) So if you have an 8MP camera, this adds up after a while.
You can open the comains file and try to figure out what causes the trouble. (Right click/CTRL click, open content) sort on size to see if you have some extremely large stuff in there (Movies???) Take them out and try to make them smaller.
Good luck!!

Disable "Open File Security Warning"

Hi whenever I try to open a file from the local hardrive I get the "Open File Security Warning" asking me whether I want to open the file or not. This is getting rather annoying. I searched online but everything I found seems to be dealing with network shares and I am not using that. Just a file on the local hard drive in the computer I am using to the right of me. I remember in my last install I turned it off somehow, but for the life of me I can't figure out how I did it. Anybody have any ideas? Or is this here to stay?

Windows 7 - Launching unsafe files is in this path;
IE -> Internet Options -> Security tab -> Custome Level -> Scroll down in Settings -> Look for radio button "Launching applications and unsafe files (not secure)".
Don't know if it solves the problem or not but option is there.
Great, on Windows 8 x64 this is an option I can find and set.
It will generate a nasty warning in the system tray. And does not solve the problem:
I have downloaded a warez archive and extracted it. The resulting .exe file is a wrapped program which will extract everything to my choosings. I've used it before.
When I try to run the program, all I get is:
Windows Security
These files can't be opened
Your internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened.

I do not use IE, I use chrome. What is this strange behaviour?? :(

Is there a way to save a specific set of open files?

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to save a specific set of open files in Flash so that when you close the app and then reopen it, you would either see the files that were open when you closed Flash or at least have the option to select it and it woud then open those files in the order that you left them.
Is that an option by any chance?
With all my class files open at one time, I hate having to reload them into the order that makes sense to me every time I launch Flash.
I was looking into the Projects panel which seems like it's in the direction of what I would like but I can't seem to find anwhere that saves open files.
Thanks in advance for any insight into this!
Cole

I don't believe this is possible with Flash - I've used Flash for a long time, and certain learn new things all the time! But Flash only has a "memory" of recently open files, and doesn't automatically open them for you.
But, for class files, you're in luck. There's a 3rd party AS editor, FlashDevelop, that does EXACTLY that. When you launch it, it auto opens the multiple AS files you ahd open from the previous day/session. FlashDevelop is a wonderful tool to use for editing your AS (and is quicker than Flash, and does custom class introspection, where it auto-completes your own class properties & methods, as well as many other developer-friendly features).

Here is a screen grab of what Flash Develop lloks liek for me when I open it (showing multiple class files opened yesterday, without me having to open them today)

IPod Updater error - "there may be open files on the iPod"

I'm trying to help my nephew fix his scroll-wheel 10 gb iPod before he embarks on a long flight to India. When he plugged his iPod into his new iBook, iTunes launched, but wouldn't let him copy any purchased music to his iPod. It told him that he needed to upgrade his software. I've seen from the posts here that this is not uncommon.
We went ahead and tried, but the only option was "restore", "updated" had been grayed out. Since he had already copied all of his music off of his iPod onto his new iBook with Senuti, we opted to restore. This failed and we now get a message from the updater saying that "an error occured. There may be open files on the iPod".
If I disconnect the iPod from the computer, the screen displays a folder with an exclamation point and then alternates with an Apple logo. It looks like it's in a loop trying to start up, but then goes to the folder again, then goes blank for a second and displays the Apple logo, etc.
If I plug in via USB, for a brief second I get the "do not disconnect message", but then it goes right to "OK to disconnect". After I disconnect, the "OK to disconnect" does not go away, I have to reset in order to get back to the alternating folder with exclamation and Apple logo.
If I plug in via firewire, the iPod does mount in Finder and iTunes recognizes. It give me the message stating that version 2.3 is available and do I want to update. If I choose "cancel", the iPod docks in iTunes and I can manually add songs to the iPod (but not purchased music). But when I undock, it goes back to the alternating folder and logo.
If I say I do want to update, the updater launches 11-17-05, but gives me the "there may be open files" error message.
Anyone had this problem and/or know how to fix it? Another factor to throw into the mix: I'm pretty sure my nephew was using this machine with a PC and everything we've tried together has been on the Mac. I've tried docking using Virtual PC, but it doesn't recognize the iPod at all, using firewire or USB.
Does anyone know if I SHOULD be able to update or restore this iPod using a Mac?
Also, I've tried this on both my nephew's iBook and my Powerbook. Both are running 10.4.3 with iTunes 6.0.1.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am having precisely the same issue.
I am running Adobe Acrobat XI Standard on Windows 8 Professional. All updates have been applied to both.
(I have 4 other computers with identical configurations where this problem does not occur.)
In the problem machine (and a 2nd computer with the same issue) I can easily open the file using a UNC path, e.g. \\server\h\filename.pdf in Adobe Acrobat.
Using the drive mapping, net use h: \\server\h, I cannot access the file H:\filename.pdf.
I can't open H: from within Adobe Acrobat either, not just the PDF.
I can open any other file on that drive with any other program.
I can open \\server\h\filename.pdf and the H: drive from Foxit Reader installed on the same computer.
The specific problem is that Adobe Acrobat XI can't open or see a mapped drive by drive letter.
Any ideas?

Windows 8 and ArchLinux dual-boot - Failed to open file: arch\boot\...

Hey!
I have a problem where I don't know how to configure the EFISTUB to boot ArchLinux along Windows 8. I have read the instructions on the wiki and tried for two days and the only thing I've come up with is copying some files into the /boot/efi/EFI/arch/ folder, and adding the entry into the UEFI boot menu. I can select it when Restarting Windows8 through the shift-restart thing and stuff but when it attempts to boot it says:
Failed to open file: arch\boot\archiso.img
I don't know how to set this up and fix it. I am so confused with everything right now due to the instructions on the wiki basically being "You can either do it this way, that way or any other way." but does not specifically expain how each works (at least so that I understand it fully) and what has to be done to complete these steps. Like, I need a complete tutorial from Start to Finish, to do this because I'm too nervous messing up my partitions. I have understood some parts thought and what I want is to be able to boot it from the EFISTUB instead of chain-booting like I usually do. I just don't know how to connect the entry in the list to the proper files to boot the system.
What I have done:
Installed the base system.
Istalled grub in the base system but has not used grub to install on the /boot yet because I don't know if it is to be used if I'm supposed to use the EFISTUB (I was thinking efibootmgr would be enough)
Tried to use efibootmgr to make the entry, but the entry does not work. (If this is how I should do it, can you explain which partition to target and what the different values would mean when answering?)
I don't know which one is right, or if both shall be done (I guess Grub is used if I want to chain-load. I guess I can do it if it's the only way)
Anyway, I hope you guys can answer me so I can fix this. Thanks

What you're trying to do now is:
EFI->kernel (EFI stub)
This is appealingly direct, but it's tricky to get working. What the wiki now recommends is:
EFI->gummiboot->kernel (EFI stub)
...or...
EFI->GRUB->kernel
These approaches are less direct, but they're easier to configure. The trouble is that both the EFI's built-in boot manager and the EFI stub loader are tricky to configure. For a newbie to get them both configured correctly on a first attempt at installing Arch is very difficult. Getting the EFI to launch gummiboot or GRUB is easier because these programs don't require the complex parameters that the EFI stub loader requires. Those parameters can instead be specified in the gummiboot or GRUB configuration file, which is easier to manage for quite a few reasons.
If you want to pursue using the EFI stub loader directly, you certainly can. I've learned from experience, though, that it's not worth my time to try to help with users who want to do this. Using an intermediary program is easier to get working. IMHO, the direct approach has no real benefits except that it gives you bragging rights that you've done it. Your system won't boot any faster or more reliably in the more direct approach. (Well, technically it will be faster, by only by a matter of milliseconds, assuming you use a 0 timeout value in gummiboot.) In fact, it will be less reliable, because gummiboot, GRUB, and rEFInd all offer ways to adjust boot options on a boot-by-boot basis, which is very helpful when fixing problems. You can't do this with the direct approach.

Upgrade Plug-ins error (Cannot Open File)

I was working on a document in CS3 as a final thesis for my masters work. I was using a Blurb template in order to export the file for printing. In between working on the file, one afternoon I could no longer open the file and was met with the follwing error:
Cannot Open File
IMAGE.RPLN
IMAGE FILTERS.RPLN
HYPERLINKS.RPLN
"Cannot open "Masters_book dec.indd".
Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest
versions, or upgrade to the latest version of
Adobe InDesign."
I hadn't changed any other files on my computer or ran any updates. I was simply met with the error when I tried launching the application. After trying to run necessary updates I was still met with the same error message. I downloaded the trial version of CS5 on another machine and tried to open it and was once again met with the above error message. I have a back up of the file that I can use but it still represents a lot of lost work if I have to resort to an old file.

I probably shouldn't dwell, on this, but I can get really worked up over it.
I come from the Cosmos and I can assure you we have sent no "Rays" to your puny Earth Planet today!(*)
Since this concerns a CS3 file and I haven't seen posts of others having the same issue, either with CS3 or with any other version, I have to take it as a One-Time Fluke.
I'm pretty firmly convinced this never happens. There are real problems and even if we only see them once, they are happening hundreds and thousands of times and going unreported and undetected, but they are no less real. In fact, because of the reporting bias towards repeatable problems, they are probably causing added frustration and confusion without being detected or fixed properly. So, IMNSHO, we owe a larger duty to pay attention to so-called "unreproducible" bugs.
(You can imagine how well these conversations with Adobe Support go...)
Of course, in this case, it's probably really hard to find the problem. And since it's effectively an end-of-life'd product that is 3 versions behind the released product and at least 4 versions behind the development product, well, it's hard to lose too much sleep over it.
(*) Yes, I know, this incident would not have been "today." Consider it time dilation.

CS5 InDesign cannot open files in the InDesign CS5 document format

I'll be working in InDesign CS5 with no problems then at some point I'll double click on an InDesign file and a window comes up and says - InDesign cannot open files in the InDesign CS5 document format. Sometimes when this happens I have to completely reboot my whole system before I can get InDesign to function correctly. Is this a flaw with CS5? Did not happen with previous versions. It doesn't always happen but I can't figure out what causes it. Would appreciate anyones help. I'm getting to really HATE InDesign!!

I have not uninstalled and reinstalled, but I did just switch over to another workstation using Time Machine. The previous system was Leopard. This one is running Snow Leopard.
I'm not sure how to parse this. When you say "switch over to another workstaiton using Time Machine" do you mean, "started using another machine that happens to be using Time Machine for backups and is also running 10.6 instead of 10.5"?
Or do you mean, "Used the Time Machine program to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6?" If you mean the second one, well, I can't say I am surprised that things are messed up. And that would make your problem rather different than the other posters, which is good reason for you to have started your own thread (and thus your own solution)....
I'm a little bit leary of getting in and changing things in Terminal, without understanding what I am changing. Plus this is a workstation at work, so if I screw something up, that is not a good things, and I don't have time to spend a day fixing things back up again, with the way our workload is.
Well, you can find a lot of marginal documentation about lsregister and Launch Services, but I wonder whether your understood the ramifications of messing with Time Machine (or maybe I have misinterpretted you!). I'd be surprised if you found another way to fix this, other than uninstall/reinstall.
Good luck.
