Preview and Texteditor open multiple files

Preview and Texteditor often open multiple files when I only clicked a single file. It seems to open one or more previously opened files at the same time. Is this a bug, or can I disable this behaviour somewhere?

"Restore windows when quitting and reopening apps" worked for me. However, it will not work for any apps currently open when you change the preference. Once you quit ans recopen the app, it should work. At least mine did!

  • Adobe Acrobat pro 9.4.6 crashes when opening multiple files simultaneously.

    We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 which has been updated to version 9.4.6. we had this problem when the 9.4.5 update was applied also. It is now crashing when we try to open multiple files simultaneously.
    Yesterday, I narrowed down the problem to 6 plugins:
    IA32
    ADBC
    eBook
    EScript
    HLS
    PPKLite
    SaveAsRTS
    However, we discovered that that Comments and markup tool bars weren't loading. So I did a repair install on it.
    Now those plugins from yesterday work and Acroform.api is causing it to crash when opening multiple files.
    I did try other suggestion that involved using Icacls/cacls on dll files to no avail.
    It is running on XP SP3 fully updated with plenty of RAM and HDD space.
    Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?

    I am not sure what's causing this problem on your machine because everything's working fine for me.
    What is the version of Acroform.api on your machine now.
    Do a Repair after deleting this file and see if it works.
    Enable Windows MSI logging (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314852) before you do a repair, upload that log to some file sharing server, and paste its link here.

  • Open Multiple files in One go......

    Hi all,
    I need to open multiple file jpg files present at a particular location in one go. I am developing the application in ADF and i used the following code in for loop
    response[i] = (HttpServletResponse) fctx.getExternalContext().getResponse();
    // file should be downloaded without display
    response.setContentType("application/x-download");
    response[i].setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachement; filename=\"document "+listFiles[i].substring(0,(listFiles[i].length()-4))+".bmp\"");
    but it opens only one file(the last one of the for loop). Finally i evn tried Runtime.getruntime again in a for loop, still it didnt work.
    I got an option from somewhere sugggesting to use firebox viewer. I browsed for the software, but found thatfirebox can open multiple url's in one go and did'nt get any relevant help regarding firebox viewer.
    Is Firebox viewer a component of firebox???If so how to use it to open multiple jpg files???
    How to integrate this firebox viewer with ADF???
    Any help???
    Regards,
    Amitt

    No, I have idea about FifreFox Brower, its about FireFox viewer, may be a plug in or component of Browser(Even I am not sure whether there is any component like viewer or not???),
    But the key is that ki i want to open a multiple jpg files in one go. Whether using FireFox Viewer or something else it does'nt matter.
    Any suggestion????

  • Acrobat Standard 9.0 automatically opens multiple files on startup

    This problem was originally posted as "Acrobat Standard 9.1.2 update problem?"
    In Vista Ultimate, I installed the Acrobat Standard 9.1.2 update, and afterward, my terminal began automatically opening multiple PDF files whenever Acrobat was started.  At one point, I let it run for several minutes, and got up to 33 opened files before I forced the program to shut down.
    Although this problem was resolved by a program removal and reinstallation (restore previous version didn't work), it came back again, after I had worked on several PDF files since the reinstall.  Apparently, Acrobat feels compelled to open all of the PDF files I have worked on since the reinstallation, whenever it starts up.  In addition, it opens copies of all of these files when I open a Website PDF file. So I have two copies of the same filename open at the same time (usually impossible in Windows).  Since I removed v9.1.2 and reinstalled v9.0, the problem might not be connected to the 9.1.2 update I installed before it began; however, the 9.1.2 update might have made changes to the registry that the uninstall didn't correct.
    HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED AUTOMATIC MULTIPLE FILE OPENINGS IN ACROBAT STANDARD 9.0 OR 9.1.2, AND IF SO, WHAT DID YOU DO ABOUT IT?  I'm desperate enough to seek technical advice from a random group of strangers.

    I was having this problem on a Vista Ultimate machine after upgrading to Acrobat Pro 9.2, and solved it in the following way.
    1.  Exit Acrobat, open the task manager and be sure the acrobat.exe task is no longer running.
    2.  Open the directory C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0
    3.  Locate the file named Organizer90 and drag it to the desktop
    4.  Open Acrobat from the Start menu
    Problem should be solved!  If not, exit Acrobat and drag the original Organizer90 file back to the original directory (replacing the newly created file).  I have no idea what the Organizer90 file does, so I don't know if you may be losing anything important using this method, but it did work for me in solving the "opening multiple files" problem.

  • Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files

    Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files. I have not seen any solutions in forums that solves this problem. I have just done the most recent update and it still crashes.

    Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 (CS5) is doing the same thing on my Windows XP SP3 with 3.5 GB of ram and 206 GB of my brand new 300 GB hard drive free.
    It starting doing this at the end of last year before my hard drive died.  Then after rebuilding the entire system on this new drive it worked fine, until I downloaded all the updates and now it is broken again.  Anytime I open more than one PDF, Acrobat crashes.  I send the error report every time.

  • Unable to open multiple files of different types simultaneously

    It seems  the MS has made some changes in Win7, and I am no longer able to open multiple files of different types (.doc, .pdf) in Explorer by highlighting the desired files and hitting Enter.  It still works if I select only one file type, but
    the ability to open multiple files of different types has been in place since Win95, and maybe since Win3.11 (my memory is a little foggy that far back).

    Hi,
    Yes, this feature was removed from Windows 7. Now you just can open multiple files which are the same type at once.

  • Opening multiple files in OS X

    Hi there,
    Sorry if this is a noob question but I couldn't find the answer online!
    Do anyone happen to know if there is a keyboard shortcut to open multiple files in Dreamweaver on OS X... I click on each with Command held to select multiple files, and I know you can double click on one to open them all...
    In the Windows version I used to just press Enter to open them and I prefer that, so if there's an OS X equivalent that would be awesome!
    Thanks,
    Neil

    No joy I'm afraid... nothing happens with that either...
    It would be cool to have a keyboard shortcut as I'm so used to renaming a file then hitting enter to open it!
    One of those minor little irritations I guess!
    Thanks

  • Opening multiple files as layers in PS CS4?

    Hi, folks--
    As the subject states, is it possible to open multiple files (specifically, RAW files, but really any format, too) as multiple layers in a single document in PS CS4?  I know Lightroom has a feature like this, but I don't use LR and would love to find a way to do this in PS, alone.
    Thanks!
    -Greg

    You can use File->Scripts->Load Files into Stack for that.

  • Missing photos when opening multiple files into Photoshop from LR3.2

    When I try to open multiple files (8+ maybe) from Lightroom 3.2 to edit in Photoshop CS5, almost always one or two photos does not open. This means I have to manually find out which photos are missing, and then reopen them.
    Can anyone help me with this problem??

    I have opened as many as 50 from external hard drive with LR 3.2 and Windows XP with no problem.
    It takes a long time to bring in this many if they are 100MB tiffs.  I had to go have coffee and come back later.
    Are you sure you waited until it was finished?

  • Indesign CS5 freezes when opening multiple files

    When I try to open multiple files at the same time it will show the files on screen as if they are open but then a popup will come up that says "Open 2 Documents" and it never completely finishes loading and freezes up Indesign. I am unable to cancel the dialog box and have to use ctrl+alt+delete to close the program and then open the files one at a time. When I open the program again it then has the files loaded and ready to go. I am working on Windows 7 Professional and I don't have any Indesign Plugins that I use. Extensis Suitcase font auto-activation is turned off.

    Dear all,
    I think I have the same problem... or not ?!
    => When I try to open multiple files at the same time it opens only the 2 or 3 first ones then it freezes on the Spinning Beach Ball of Death !
    => Then it never completely finishes loading and freezes up Indesign.
    => I am unable to cancel the dialog box and have to use cmd+alt+esc to close the program
    => then, the files open directly on indesign when I open the program again (jus as if the files had been loaded and ready to go)
    I am working on MAC OS X (10.7.3)
    Anybody could help please ?? (sorry for my english... I'm a French native speaker)

  • How can I open multiple files as Photoshop Raw files at the same time for Photoshop CS6 extended on a PC?

    I am trying to open 20-25 files at the same time as Photoshop Raw [*.RAW] files.
    The only way I can open multiple files is if i leave the file type as All Formats. When I change it to  Photoshop Raw [*.RAW], the files a deselected.

    Use bridge. Select all the files then press ctrl-r or cmd-r to load the selected files into camera raw.
    If you try this in Photoshop use File>Open As then for file type choose camera raw. (I have not tested open as for opening multiple files)

  • Help - "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed."

    Hello,
    I searched this site and google for this error terminology and come up dry.  I support a user who has been for years using Acrobat 5 (yes, I know...) to read files in a client DB program, as well as other PDF files on their PC.  In the last week or so, they have started gatting this error "Acrobat is being used by another application and cannot open PDF files until the other application is closed." any time they attempt to open a PDF file attached to an email (via Outlook).
    It is my understanding that they cannot upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat because of limitations of their client software, but had not previously had any issues viewing PDF notes from the DB, and PDF attachments in their email.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, as well as tried using Adobe Reader 7 & 9 in conjunction with Acrobat to try to get around this issue, but have not been successful.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jesse

    I don't have an answer to your technical problem. The product I assume is Acrobat that you are talking about (based on the post title), Adobe is the company name. This is a good place to ask questions on Acrobat if folks can figure out what you are talking about. They will ask for the product version number (like AA9.3.3), operating system, and other applications if appropriate. Also, just what you are doing that generates the message.
    As for Adobe, you are not likely to get an answer from them here in the user forum. You will be lucky if you can get an answer if you can contact them and not be on hold for more than an hour (sorry, this is why a lot of folks end up in the forum).
    So, to help others try to answer your question, what are the products and versions involved? What OS? What are you doing when the message comes up.
