  • Can't open nautilus from applications menu

    I find that I can't open nautilus from applications menu any more.
    In the terminal, it won't open nautilus when running 'nautilus' without specifying a location or --new-window option.
    I've checked and tried to modify /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop and /usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop, but it didn't work.
    The values of Exec option in the two files are as follows:
    /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop: Exec=nautilus --new-window %U
    /usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop:  Exec=nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop
    Also, I have tried to reinstall nautilus. I didn't work, either.
    Any one can help?

    Are you using gnome classic session? Or have you enabled desktop icons?
    Sounds like the nautilus-classic.desktop could be getting launched  during gnome-session startup, which should happen in both of the cases above.
    According to my testing, starting nautilus with 'nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop' causes the exact behavior you're describing.
    I'm using standard gnome without desktop icons, and I don't have any issues with nautilus, so disabling them would probably help, although that could be a drag if you really want desktop icons.
    I still don't understand why the org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop wouldn't work though, since it has the --new-window flag. Apparently you can't even launch a new window via the right click menu item.
    This could happen if gnome-shell recognizes the nautilus-classic.desktop as nautilus, and starts using it's .desktop file instead when you try to launch a new window.
    If so you could probably fix this from the .desktop file somehow. I might be able to look into it later..
    I'm also using standard gnome, and I have enabled desktop icons.
    Disabling desktop icons makes it work.
    Thanks!
    I once tried to modify nautilus-classic.desktop to Exec=natilus --new-window, but it didn't help.

  • Invoking Discoverer Report from Zoom Menu Option

    HI there
    I've seen this on client site but never done it myself. Does anyone have any documentation or guidance on how to set up a form personalization so that the zoom menu option on a form links to a discoverer report, potentially passing parameter values to limit the data? Can forget the parameter side if it's complicated for now as we don't have any full requirements.
    Many thanks for any help
    Cheers, Kate

    Hi
    Zoom functionality is very simple just follow the bellow steps
    • Enter the Form Personalization form. (M) Help > Diagnostics > Custom Code > Personalize.

  • Opening Videos from Left Menu Requires Right Click

    I have multiple Windows 7 computers with iTunes installed. I have noticed that whan trying to open videos from the left menu, the only way to get it working is to wight click on the mouse, left clicking does not work. Does anyone know anything about this and how to resolve it?

    I encountered the same problem. A quicker workaround then restarting firefox is to just minimize and maximize. Don't know why but that works.

  • I can't open bookmarks from the menu in new tab on firefox 6.0 using the mouse middle button or right click. Is this normal?

    I can't open my bookmarks from the menu in a new tab.
    I'm wondering if this is simply not a feature and requires an add-on. I'd rather not need to use an add-on.
    can anybody help?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Tabs and window restore only restored one of many open windows from last session. I hate this!!

    Tab and window restoration has FAILED after version 13.01 installation! Out of 7 windows open with multiple tabs, only ONE BROWSER WINDOW OPENED with NO reference to what happened to the normal session that had been in the previous version of FF. I've read about this and I DON'T LIKE IT. It is reverse engineering. WHY would you scrap someone's research for the sake of making your browser open more quickly? DAMMIT MAN I don't have time to study a browser. I may not endure this version! I don't see a way out of this ff trap, other than go to previous version which is always a bitch. Dammit!

    You need to use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar to close Firefox with all open windows at once. Otherwise only the last closed window will be restored. If this did happen then check History > Recently Closed Windows to see if any are listed (default is 3).

  • Command Tab not pulling up open windows from Dock

    Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, though I have looked:
    Using Command-Tab to invoke Application Switch is very helpful. However I have an issue with iCal and with AddressBook sometimes. If they have an open window, minimised to the dock, it does not jump up on switching. Other apps do; just switching with command-tab to that app pulls up the most recent window. With iCal/AddressBook, it switches to the app; but the window remains in the dock and needs a click before it jumps up. Which kind of negates the app-switch in the first place, if you need to follow through with a mouse-click as well.
    A similar question was asked here:

    Thanks for your help.

    Alastair,
    I believe that behavior can be attributed to any application with one minimized window. I get around that limitation by using the Hide feature. For example, just use the Address Book>Hide Address Book (⌘+H) command instead of Minimize (⌘+M). Using Apple + Tab will then open the Address Book application window as you would expect.
    You can use the Keyboard to access a minimized window, but it is not convenient. (Control + F3) will give you access to the Dock. Then use the arrow keys to navigate to the Dock icon of your choice and hit enter. That action will open the application or window of your choice. Esc will cancel the keyboard action.

  • Sudden Quit after trying to open Advanced from Print Menu

    in iPhoto '05 I began experiencing quits only afert opening the print dialog and then clicking on Advanced. The usual box pops up to notify Apple.
    I went ahead an repaired permissions and then installed iPhoto '06. Same result. I can do books, etc. just fine. But hitting that Advanced button causes a sudden quit.
    Any ideas, all? I've seen some comments, but no one really seems to have a handle on this that I can see.

    Are you using OS X Mavericks? If so, you need to get your finder windows and the PSE Open window out of cover flow view. Switch to List or icon view instead.

  • "open recent" from file menu not operating with snow leopard?

    is anyone else having trouble with this?
    did i accidentally disable this option? if so, how do i enable it?
    thanks

    I can understand why they have done this, although agree it is not a good idea.
    Apple has made accessing the applications harder than need be, by nesting them inside the iWork folder. Without the manuals.
    The User Guide says nothing about the need to leave the iWork components in the iWork '09 folder.
    Is it difficult to understand that we don't buy three separate applications but one package?
    The soluce of three apps in one package may have several reasons:
    (1) developping Keynote then Pages then Numbers was more efficient in terms of cost than developping them as a single app.
    (2) keeping them as separated items gives the ability to load an item smaller than a treeinone app so it requires less time and use less memory.
    (3)…
    If users are too numerous to break the 'rule', I'm afraid that Apple decide to pack the three apps in a single item so the problem would be definitely solved.
    If someone want to have direct access to iWork components from the Applications menu, the correct soluce is to create aliases of thes apps and store these aliases in the Applications folder. Neat, simple and free of the described oddities.
    as in the +Open With+ in File information,
    The operating system apply a default setting for the "Open with" feature.
    There is a problem for those which want an other setting.
    But, as every user has its own needs, there will always be necessary to make individual choices.
    Which app must open a .doc file ?
    For me it's a moveit_to_thetrash tool
    for some users, it's Word
    for some, it's openOffice
    for some, it's neoOffice
    for some, it's Bean
    for some, it's Pages
    for some, it's TextEdit
    and I know users having all of them installed.
    Automatic link between a kind of doc and an app is an inaccessible dream.
    The user action is required.
    and the +Keyboard Shortcuts+ preferences.
    The decision to apply this or that shortcut to a menu item is part of the design task. I think that it's the designer which must define them, not the user. You don't change the commands of your motorcar, I don't understand why you would change those of an application.
    If you don't like the application GUI, use an other app.

  • "Continue where I left off" or "Open pages from last time" option not working in any browser after updating to 10.9.2

    Configured all browsers to start from previous session everytime. But whenver I open any browser it opens with the Homepage. Please let me know how to fix this issue.

    That shouldnt be the solution I guess. I have to do that every time I open any browser. Also I usually have minimum 10 tabs open in all browsers so I don't think thats a feasible option of reopening it. I use safari, chrome and mozilla and none of them restores the last session on startup.

  • When I view application windows, but then cancel from this view I am moved to another open window from the application on a different desktop space. How can I prevent this from happening?

    Hi Everyone!
    I'm new to Mac, and I'm a bit unsure of how to handle a problem I'm having with application windows.
    Here's the scenario:
    On one space I have a bunch of PDF's open in Preview next to the document I am working on. On another space, I might have an unrelated PDF open and an image, also open in Preview. Now, say I use the Application Windows button to view all my open PDF's on the first space, but then discover I haven't got the PDF open, so I need to open in in finder. The moment I quit out of the Application Windows view I am transported to another desktop containing an open Preview window! This happens with other applications too, like if I trigger application windows on pages instead of preview and need to cancel, I get transported off to some other open pages document.
    This is insanely infuriating, how can I stop it!
    Thanks for your time.

  • Re-open windows from last session in Apps like Pages, Preview and more

    Just migrate to Yosemite and I'm a bit concern that my main apps like Pages, Preview, Texedit that used to open all the windows documents from the last session, now they are not.
    Do Apple got rid of this function in Yosemite or is there a way to abilitate it again? Just like you can still do it in Safari?

    Open System Preferences then select General.

  • 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.
    Darrell

    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.
