[PCManFM] No entries for default applications

I must have done something stupid while trying to clean out useless entries from the pcmanfm "Open with" menu—since I did that, the dialog that should be displaying desktop files is empty:
All I did was to delete everything in ~/.local/share/applications and recreate the local mime database (in case that is even necessary, I just recently read up on mime type handling).
I didn't touch a thing in /usr/share/applications, though, and even the desktop files that reside in there aren't displayed in the dialog as you can see. I also tried accessing the same dialog with thunar and that worked fine. I reinstalled pcmanfm, updated mime/desktop databases, installed pcmanfm-git instead of the version of pcmanfm that is in the repos, and reinstalled shared-mime-info, menu-cache, and libfm/libfm-git—all to no avail.
Any pointers?

Two menu entries for every application in Gnome-Shell?!

I have two menu entries for every application, which is kind of annoying, because the menu needs more time to load at startup!

bugs, bugs , bugs!!!!
I got rid of that preoblem by going back to fallback mode, booting one time and then going back
to shell menu! Hope it works for you people as well!!
edit: no seems only to work sometimes, the icons change arbitrarily each time you reboot!

Urgent Entries for application 11 still exist in the extraction queue

Hi All,
In LBWE when i am trying to mainting structure its not allowing to add fields to ExtractStrucutre.
Following is the error iam getting.
Entries for application 11 still exist in the extraction queue ->
I have set the Update to inactive and trying to add fields to Extract strucutre .
Morover,
I have already deleted setuptable entries for this application Component 11 and i checked in rsa3, no records are there.

PCV,
Here are the steps. Make sure you do them when there is no posting going on.
1) Using transaction SA38, execute program RMBWV311. This will send the data from the extraction queue to delta queue for application 11.
2) Run your 2lis_11_***** info packages to bring the delta records into BW. Make sure to run these info packages twice because the delta is cleared on R/3 only if you run them twice. It is designed this way to accomodate the delta repetition functionality.
Just to make sure, verify that you don't see any data in RSA7, LBWQ and if you use RSA3, the system should not extract any data.
You should be able to change the extract structure now.

E-Recruiting Questionnaires integrated in Entry of External Applications

Hi,
is it possible to integrate Questionnaires in the function "Entry of External Applications"? I need the recruiter to be able to complete questionnaires for the candidate within entering external applications.
If I try to integrate Element 0012 "Application Wizard: Questionnaire" using container sequences I get an internal error. Is it necessary to create a custom BSP page for this purpose?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Gabriel

Hello Gabriel,
integrating the questionaire function into the candidate profile maitenance you can enter from the Manual/Minimum data entry for external applications handed in by hardcover or email is not possible. Reason for that is the different object relation of the application wizard and the candidate profile container sequence items which is leading to the error you encountered when you tried to mix the containersequences.
Usually when implementing e-Recruiting and you decide to use the manual data entry function at all you use a different szenario. The system is designed that after entering the data you can switch to the candidate selection and add the application wizard questionare through creating an activity. If the candidate gave you an email address you easily send him the questionaire so he can fill it. If you have no email address you can send a letter with a printout of the questionaire which is entered by a recruiter/datatypist when returned or you just call the candidate an fill in his answers.
Í admit that this is a bit more time consuming than having the recruiter enter the information directly but as I have seen in most cases the recruiter does not get all of the information needed from the cv and stuff the applicant send in.
In an approach to give a full answer to your question I think you should also know that there is another organizational solution to this problem which is mostly on the process design side of the e-Recruiting implementation. Many companies just bypass this MDE questionaire topic by a strict restriction of hardcover applications. Often companies do not accept and enter these applications into the e-Recruiting system at all. They just print a letter from Word saying the applicant he shall use the online way. The Manual Data Entry is only for real Talents/Star-Applicants they need so urgently that they really cannot effort to loose them by forcing them to enter their data online. But if someone is so good, so special noone cares about the questionaire - just invite him to the interview and ask him.
To be honest I recommened this solution as it is the most efficiant way to deal with hardcover applicastions.
Best Rgds.

[SOLVED] pcmanfm lost default applications settings for office docs

I'm not sure if it was the Libreoffice recent update or not, but I no longer have any application settings for office documents (ppt, doc, xls, ods, odp, odt, etc.). When I right click to choose an application, none are listed. I tried the suggestion from the wiki to install gnome-menus but the situation was no better after a logout/login.
Even inputting a custom command like:
/usr/bin/soffice --impress %f
does not work. It seems that the "Open with" dialog is completely function-less.
Any suggestions/experience with this?

I fixed this. I just had to figure out the correct mimetypes and re-add them. I still believe this used to be down automatically, but not a big deal. Part of my problem was trying to use xdg-mime to set defaults for "application/ppt" when it's really "application/powerpoint."
I found this list of mimetypes that was really helpful for setting defaults for .doc, .xls, and .ppt.
There are also listings for the correct mimetypes for .odt, .ods, and .odp. In the end, my ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list looks like this:
[Default Applications]
application/pdf=evince.desktop
txt/application=emacs.desktop
tex/application=emacs.desktop
application/powerpoint=libreoffice-impress.desktop
application/msword=libreoffice-writer.desktop
application/excel=libreoffice-calc.desktop
application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.presentation=libreoffice-impress.desktop
application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet=libreoffice-calc.desktop
application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text=libreoffice-writer.desktop

How can I change the default application for a content type?

Running a version of Linux, the default application for PDF files is "Use Document Viewer (default)", which appears to be /usr/bin/evince. I'd much prefer to use /usr/bin/okular; how can I change the default. This question is NOT about how to change the function that is automatically applied when I access a link, in this case "Preview in Firefox", but rather to the default application that I can select when I download a file being viewed in Firefox's previewer.

This is real progress, a solution to the problem as posted. The command:
xdg-mime default okularApplication_pdf.desktop application/pdf
makes okular the default.
However when I added okular to the choices for applications in:
* Edit>Preferences>Applications>PDF
the popup box that appears when I click Download on the preview page changed. The pulldown menu that appears next to "Open with" used to have 3 entries:
# Document Viewer (default)
# Acroread
# Other
Now it has only 2:
# Okular (Default)
# Other
I'd like it to read
# Okular (Default)
# Acroread
# Other
How can I control the entries in this pulldown list?
Also, how can I make the default choice in the popup box be
* Open With <whatever> , rather than
* Save File ?

Dreamweaver entries for Flash default image

This is a companion question to my earlier one about not
prompting viewers of my home page if they do not have the Flash
player installed.
What can I change in my Dreamweaver entries for a Flash movie
so that, if they dont have the Flash player installed, a default
image will be displayed at the same location? For example, I have a
Flash movie that transitions different text objects on and off the
stage, but, if they dont have Flash installed, I would like to put
an image of one of the blocks of text in the place of the movie.
And, of course, no prompting for plugins to accompany this.
Many thanks for solutions
Peter

In theory just with plain HTML, the 'object' element and its
capability
of nesting content:
<object
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="example.swf"
width="200" height="150">
Alternative no-Flash content
</object>
Some browsers might require an additional 'param' element:
<object ...>
<param name="movie" value="example.swf">
</object>
But that's it. In theory ...
In practice be prepared for some bad surprises, especially in
broken
browsers like IE.

Under Options , Applications There are multiple entries for the same item (Acrobat Document). how can I delete the duplicates?

Under Options, Applications there are multiple entries for the same item. (Adobe Acrobat) . Three show Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3 and the other shows (ask) or (save file) with no ability to select Acrobat Reader . Is there a way to edit this list to remove the duplicates and
the incorrect entry? Adobe installed a very quick update today.

They are all different. Hover your mouse pointer over each of the "Content Type" descriptions and you should see a "tooltip" to see that each has a different description.
You need to update your plugins. It is important to keep them updated due to continuing security fixes and improvements in those plug-ins:
* Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5 (you '''may''' need to update)
* Shockwave Flash 10.1 r53
* Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_20 for Mozilla browsers
#Check your plugin versions: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
#*'''Note: plugin check page does not have information on all plugin versions'''
#'''Update Shockwave for Director'''
#*NOTE: this is not the same as Shockwave Flash; this installs the Shockwave Player.
#*Use Firefox to download and SAVE the installer to your hard drive from the link in the article below (Desktop is a good place so you can find it).
#*When the download is complete, exit Firefox (File > Exit)
#*locate and double-click in the installer you just downloaded, let the install complete.
#*Restart Firefox and check your plugins again.

Set default application for *all* users

Hello people, my 1st post here, so forgive me for possible imprecisions, ambiguity, inappropriateness....
When I search how to set/change the default app for opening some type of file I always find the answer "through the getinfo". But doing that, I only change the default application for the current user.
I want to do that for all users of my mac, without repeating the getinfo process for each of them.
Is there any adminstrative tools for doing that?
Thank you.

You could download and install RCDefaultApp 2.1 for all users: check the Read Me and then test it on something to see if it accomplishes what you want.

By default, the application module Java class will look similar to what you see in

when i try this i didn't find the default generation for main method
have i do something before enable custom java file for Application module
hope to hear from you soon

How to make scim-bridge the default inputmethod for QT application?

I am using gnome with SCIM. I installed scim-bridge for QT application, but xim is the default IM instead of scim-bridge.
I put these into ~/.bashrc or ~/.xprofile or ~/.initrc but it didn't work. xim is still the default IM for QT. You must right click the input area, and choose scim-bridge for input menthod
XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
QT_IM_MODULE="scim-bridge"
or
XMODIFIERS="@im=scim-bridge"
QT_IM_MODULE="scim-bridge"
They both won't work.
The reason why I must use scim-bridge instead of xim mode of SCIM, is because in xim mode the input panel can't follow the cursor.
thx

How do you make console apps the default application for a file type?

I have a console movie player, mplayer, that I like a lot. I've compiled it from source on my intel core2 macbook pro and it works fine. There is no gui, but to play movie files you open up a terminal and type the command mplayer /path/to/file. I would like mplayer to play a movie file automatically when I double click on the file, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I tried setting it in the file info dialogue, but when I go to the path of the binary I want, it is not selected. How can I set a console app as my default application for my file type?

there is a GUI mplayer for OS X. why don't you use it instead of the command line one?
if you insist on using the command line mplayer then the only way to do this is to put a GUI wrapper on it. this can be done with automator or apple script for example. but really, why don't you just use the GUI mplayer?

TextEdit is the default application for my Numbers documents

Although I did not set it to be, TextEdit is the default application for my Numbers documents. It was not always this way, but it is now, and I can't seem to change the default application back to Numbers ('09). For example, when I double-click any .numbers document, I always get the following error message:
The document “xxxxx.numbers” could not be opened. The file isn’t in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format.
See: http://screencast.com/t/P5OSAJAq
Therefore, whenever I want to open a.numbers document, I must drag it to the Numbers application icon or right-click and select “open with” and select Numbers from the list of applications. Although this works fine, it creates a couple of extra steps that I would prefer not to do
My first inclination was to “Get info” and change the “open with” back to Numbers for all .numbers documents.
http://screencast.com/t/TMJwBmTOkHN
http://screencast.com/t/LAnPsbeGdB
However, selecting Numbers as the default application will not persist after clicking “change all.” Rather, it reverts back to TextEdit. Tony, this is the only way I know how to select the default application for a document type.
Is there another location where I can set/reset the default application?
Thanks!

I guess that there is at least one database used by the Operating System which is corrupted.
Run a maintenance application : MAINTENANCE is a free very good one available thru :

and ask it to repair permissions,

Default entry for Folder property - Changed behavior in SP14???

Hello,
Has anyone run into changed behavior for this page property in SP14. It seems to be valid for pages in both folders and worksets.
Ex. We have a workset that sits at 2nd level nav just below a 1st level entry point. So the workset is a 2nd level nav choice. The top page in that workset is the landing page for that nav and previously in SP9 the nav worked fine. We are finding now that in SP14 we have to set the Default Entry for Folder property to "yes" to make the 2nd level nav work. This could be another config issue in our environments but is following SP14 so far. Has anyone else sen this?
Thanks,

Hi Daniel,
NavStructure:
... - Folder A
 - Page A <inv & defPage>
 - Page P1
 - Page P2
If you click on folder A, you get the content of page A which for the end-user is not explicitely visible in navigation. So page A "is" the content of folder A.
This is how web-like nav works, that you can click on a nav entry and that this entry has it's own content and not only the preset content of some sub entry.
Hope it helps to understand what I meant

Mail default applications for opening attachments

I recently had to install Open Office in order to be able to open those kinds of documents produced by my colleagues. The only problem is that it now becomes the default application for opening .doc, .xls and .pps documents. I have changed this using command+i on each type and making sure I selected the "change all" so that each app opens under it's appropriate iWork program, but I still have a problem with Mail.
In Mail, if I get a .doc attachment, clicking on it automatically launches Open Office. Worse, when I right-click and choose "open with", Open Office is listed twice at the top of the list!
I loathe Open Office with a passion, not least because of this situation, but also because it frequently crashes and is still bound to using xterm. Nevertheless, I have to keep it as my colleagues are all on Ubuntu Linux and insist on using it for spreadsheets (to be honest, Open Office is okay on Linux).
If only iWork apps could open OpenOffice documents... ah well.
Any solutions would be most welcome!

Here's how you can set your preference for which application to use on a given file type:
1. select a file of that type
2. press CMD-I to bring up the file information
3. Click on the little triangle to expand the "Open With" section
4. Select the application you want to use for that type of file
5. Click on the "Change All" button
This has worked for me in the case where I have Parallels Desktop installed and it wants to use my Office 2000 installation under Parallels to open MS Word & Excel attachments. I changed these to be opened by NeoOffice, and it works both from the finder and when opening attachments in Mail.
I hope this helps...
