OpenOffice w/ KDE file picker dialogs

I have OpenOffice 2.3 installed with KDE, and "export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde" (in /etc/profile), but I am still getting the yucky openoffice default dialogs for file save/open.
The KDE file picker rocks - since you can access any konqueror bookmark, including sftp://, etc.
Do I have to rebuild OO to get this? If so, what build flag drives this?
Thanks,
BJ.

Thanks for the clarification! Many on IRC are thinking its all about the OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP option.. so I'm not crazy..
But thats too bad that its broken - I had this under gentoo w/OO 2.0, along with nice option to "Use openoffice dialogs" for those who wanted it.

Libreoffice in KDE does not use KDE file dialogs

Hello,
I have libreoffice-4.2.4-1 from [extra] installed, together with libreoffice-kde4 4.2.4-1. But it still shows the GTK file open/save dialog instead of the KDE one.
I tried starting libreoffice with the following command that I got from the wiki:
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kde4 lowriter
But that does not change anything. I guess, the autodetection of libreoffice works well, and it is already using the QT style even without the SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN variable set. It is just not using the right file dialogs. There is a setting libreoffice options (Tools--> Options --> General --> Use Libreoffice dialogs), but it is unchecked.
I checked the forums about this, but the only thing I could find were some threads about a bug with Libreoffice crashing on start. I experienced that bug too, and it seems to be gone now. Unfortunately, I find the missing KDE file dialogs even more annoying.

For me OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde4 does not solve the problem either.
About arojas' link: Do I understand this correctly, that they disabled the KDE file dialog because it is possible that the application crashes in certain conditions due to some QT component? And they hardcoded that, so you cannot reactivate it using some option?

Default settings for File Chooser dialog

I reach the file chooser dialog by selecting File-Open File.
Under the toolbar-options menu in the Open File Dialog, I can select to have a bookmark icon appear on the toolbar.
How do I set a default to have the Bookmark icon always appear?
Firefox 11 on openSuSE 12.1

I don't think so, if I hide the Menu bar I don't see a Bookmarks Menu.
In this picture http://dl.dropbox.com/u/50261731/Open_File%20Menu%20.png an arrow points to an Options menu button. Select that Button and a list of options opens, one of which is "Show Bookmarks". I would like the Show Bookmarks option to be "ON" by default.
Be aware that I am running SuSE 12.1 and I believe this Menu is provided by KDE integration "kmozillahelper", so my menu may be different from the default Firefox menu.

Single click in file open dialogs in KDE4.1

Hi,
In my KDE 4.1, there's something that doesn't seem right:
If in system settings, mouse&keyboard, I set the option "Double-click to open files and folders", then it doesn't actually listen to that setting.
In a file open dialog, it opens a file already with a single click. This makes it very hard to select multiple files in the dialog (e.g. when opening files with kate), because if you press CTRL and click on the file, instead of just making a selection of it, it opens that 1 file and closes the file open dialog.
Is this really the intention? How can I select multiple files that are not all below each other?
Is it the intention that it doesn't listen to the double click setting? And is it the intention that the behaviour is inconsistent with any other desktop environment? I mean, they didn't just change something universally accepted, right?

I mean if I just use the below script, it works.
getURL("javascript:loadintoIframe('myframe',
'v_vista_b5.html')");
but if I want to control 2 iframes in one clicking, it
doesn't work(it basically load only the second statment, and skips
the first). I'd like to know is it possible to combine below 2
javascript into one?
getURL("javascript:loadintoIframe('myframe',
'v_vista_b5.html')");
getURL("javascript:loadintoIframe('topframe',
'top_v_vista_b5.html')");
thanks again.

File Download Dialog shown unexpectedly on submit (ADF)

We are getting an issue using ADF v10.1.3.0.4 where the File Download Dialog is being shown by the browser when a user clicks a navigation button or the date picker button. It doesn't happen consistently but often enough to be a issue for us. The download dialog asks the user to download the *.faces page rather than just displaying it! If they click cancel and then click the button again then the page is usually displayed correctly. We are running over SSL and using IE6 SP2. Has anyone seen this before and if so what is the solution to fixing it?
Thanks, JM

Hi,
actually I did run my test app via SSl as wellbut this effect didn't show. You could try and upgrade to a recent version of JDeveloper to see if it reproduces there. Or customer support at metalink.oracle.com is an option to solve the issue.

Creating a picker dialog..

Hello everyone, i was wondering or it is possible to create a picker dialog without using coding or using the external data option because there are some restrictions so my options are limited.
I want to use this because it will help your users find information much quicker and easier.
I was thinking about something like this or what looks like it..

Hi,
Yes, you can do that using _layouts/picker.aspx , this is the file internally used for people picker.
you can combine that with JQuery to get the values back to the caller. or see this blog -http://saikiran78.wordpress.com/2011/12/06/people-picker-dialogue-window-using-javascript/
if not then you have to create custom code to get the output you want.
Hope this helps!

To display non US-ASCII filename in file download dialog - Help Needed

Hi,
Our application supports to upload a file with name in chinese/japanese language. When user tries to download filedownload dialog box is appearing with the filename as junk characters.
How to solve this issue to display the filename as uploaded.
Thanks in advance
~kans

bsampieri, issue is in display of the file name in
file download dialog.
~kansI understood that, but my thought was that the HTTP headers content type containing a charset of UTF-8 might help. I don't know for sure, but otherwise, I don't know how to get the browser to otherwise not assume ASCII.

File Open Dialog Box

Under my install of Vista Enterprise on an AD network, I'm am not getting the "computer" option to access local and network drives when I select "File/Open". All I get is the redirected "home" directory for that user. True for all Adobe applications (have the latest Creative Suite 4). Other Windows apps using Windows file/open dialog box can get to the network. Tech support said I should have an option to select the OS dialog box, but I do not see that on my install.

In Edit > Preferences > File Handling, uncheck "Enable Version Cue". This is where you will find it in CS4; earlier versions may have slight variations. In some versions, you may also get a checkbox in the file open dialog (down at the lower left, as I recall) that lets you select OS dialog or Adobe dialog. Also, in Bridge (again CS4), go to Edit > Preferences > Startup Scripts, and uncheck Adobe Version Cue CS4. (I have this unchecked, and even with Enable Version Cue checked in PS I don't get the Adobe dialog or the option to set it, so the setting in bridge seems to be the master.)

File Open Dialog Box Hiding Behind - Urgent

Hi All
We have write code for Opening File in File Open Dialog Box. But its stays in inactive mode behind SBO. Once we press ALT +TAB only then we can see it. How to Activate it or make it visible automatically in SAP Business One.
The Code for Opening File we have written is in C#
<b>OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "
objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (.xls)|.xls";
if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()!= DialogResult.Cancel)
string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
}</b>
Thanks in Advance
Asutosh

Common problem... Do the following instead.
System.Windows.Forms.Form form = new System.Windows.Forms.Form();
form.TopMost = true;
OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "\";
objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (*.xls)|*.xls";
if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog(form)!= DialogResult.Cancel)
string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
That should do it

File Open Dialog Box on Button Click

Hi
I am devloping some webpages using JSF and RichFaces..
I would like to appear File open Dialog box to choose single file and multiple files and another Folder chooser dialog box to choose the folder content..
Both the operation should be performed while choosing the Button Choose File and Choose Folder...
I have already tried Input type = file and aphace tomohawk..
But i all the components are coming with text box and browse button..
I dont need that. I need to open the dialog box once i clilck my choose file r folder button and it should work browser indepent.....

HTML doesn't provide you the possibility to select multiple files or select folders at a single browse. Thus JSF can't do any much for you. Best what you can do is to write a signed applet or web start application which does the task. The Mojarra Scales component library has a ready-to-use component which embeds an applet which does that task. Check [https://scales.dev.java.net/multiFileUpload.html].

File open dialog box broken in all apps! ( 10.5.6/7

Hi, I've got a very odd problem that Apple phone support seem to be unable to solve.
Basically, every file open dialog box system wide is broken, from file->open in textedit to the browse button on websites for uploading files.
When trying to display this finder panel, it beachballs for ten seconds then gives me a grey area where the usual finder browser usually resides and the open / cancel buttons at the bottom of the panel.
I've repaired permissions which had no effect.
The finder works perfectly other than it's little file open dialog which other applications use...
Updating to 10.5.7 did nothing to fix the issue.
Does anybody have any idea how to resolve this?
Thanks!
chris.

V.K. had you create another user to eliminate the possibility that it is a preference file causing the problem. It was reported the problem remained with another user, so the problem is system wide, not with a single user's preferences.
The Archive & Install is relatively painless. It only replaces the system and leaves everything else untouched. What is replaced is saved in a new folder it creates named Previous System, in case there is something there you might want to bring back (most often 3rd party files, but I have never needed anything from the Previous System folder).
The only hassle with the A & I is resetting preferences. If you check the option during the A & I to retain user settings, there is usually not very much that needs resetting.

File Info Dialog problem

Hi,
Not sure if this is a bug or if I'm just missing a setting someplace.
Problem: I write a lengthy caption in the "Description" window of the File Info dialog. Later on I want to use that same caption on a different image.
Using CS3 on Windows I can click on the flyout arrow next to the "Description" window and input the entire caption.
Using CS3 on Mac, the flyout will only input sections of the caption. It seems like the Mac version breaks the caption apart based on any punctuation that is in the caption.
Ex. If my caption is "01 July 2008, Los Angeles, California, USA - Paul has issues with Photoshop, causing a problem when captioning files."
Windows puts the entire caption in the field. Mac breaks it down like this:
01 July 2008
Los Angeles
California
USA
Paul has issues with Photoshop
causing a problem when captioning files
I don't recall this being an issue with PS7 or CS1. Am I missing something or is this just the way CS3 works?
Thanks in advance for any help!
-Paul

I narrowed down the issue even more. Non-English languages have their strings, tags, and texts stored in a file named strings.txt in a language-specific subdirectory in the Resources directory in the Adobe Bridge CS6 program folder. The strings.txt file includes, among many other things, a language-specific decimal separator character—which in English is a dot but in many non-English languages is a comma.
When I replace the comma as the decimal separator in the German-language strings.txt file by a dot then all of sudden the f-stops are displayed correctly in the thumbnail pane ... well, except that e. g. "f/2,8" now gets displayed as "f/2.8" which in German is wrong but acceptable—and definitely much better than "f/2,0" which is unacceptably wrong when the actual value is 2.8.
The idea to try this dawned on me when I noticed that in some places in the metadata pane, decimal numbers are displayed with a comma (respecting the decimal separator character given in strings.txt); in other places, they're displayed with a decimal point (ignoring strings.txt). Those using a dot are correct; those using a comma are wrong. So there's two bugs in Bridge rather than just one. First bug: In some places, the language-specific decimal separator character is ignored. Second bug: When it is not ignored then the number displayed will be wrong.
So my workaround now is to use a dot as the decimal separator character rather than a comma.

Pasting from a web page into a File-Save dialog no longer works; causes a freeze-up

When I place an order on Amazon, I copy the order number, then print the invoice to .pdf. When the file save dialog comes up, I paste in the order number as part of the file name. I used to, that is. At some point the pasting part no longer worked: nothing (visible anyway) is pasted, but something is happening, as the file save process hangs, and I have to use task manager to kill it. Then, the print process is trashed - if you try to print again, you get an error - and I have to restart Firefox to clear that.
This copy/paste procedure works fine in IE & Chrome.

The only way I was able to reproduce what you described is to run the script after copying a picture.
Here is a refined version.
It make two attempts to grab text items from the clipboard.
If both failed, it send an error message.
--[SCRIPT table2text]
Enregistrer le script en tant qu'Application ou Progiciel : table2text.app
déplacer l'application créée dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Applications.
Copiez vos données dans le Presse-papiers.
menu Scripts > table2text
Le presse-papiers sera alimenté par le composant Text ou utf8 du contenu initial.
+++++++
Save the script as an Application or an Application Bundle: table2text.app
Move the newly created application into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Applications by yourself.
Copy your block of datas to the Clipboard.
menu Scripts > table2text
The Clipboard will be filled with the text or the utf8 component of its original contents.

Problem With File Download Dialog Box

Hi all,
I have jsp page that allows a user to export oracle data to excel.
I have these code in my page:
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
response.setContentType ("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader ("Content Disposition",
"filename=\"historicalrate.xls\"");
I run the page and it popups a file download dialog box with Open and Save buttons.
When I click the Save button a Save As window opens with a hr.xsl file name and Microsoft Excel Workbook(*.xls) as save type. It is what I want.
The problem I have is when I click the Open button on the file download dialog box it displays data in excel format on a browser well. Then I click File > save as on browser's tool bar the Save As window pop up with no file name and a default Text(tab delimited)(*.txt).
I need the file name and Microsoft Excel Workbook(*.xls) as default save type.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please help
Thanks
