Program not showing in open with context for HTML files

I have a windows 8.1 64 Pro PC with a program called 1stPage.exe installed.
When I right click a .txt file I get 'Edit with 1st Page' in the context menu and it also shows in the open
with menu.
However HTML files do not show these options. I have checked the registry and it would appear that the program
is set up on the open with menu exactly the same for both file types.
So it would appear that something is blocking 1stPage from showing against HTML files but I can't figure out
what I need to change.
Cheers
Baz

OK we have further developments
I tried installing this program on a Windows 7 32bit machine and I get exactly the same issue.
I tried it with both IE and chrome as default browsers and I tried changing default html editor.
I therefore suspect this when this program installs it is not setting all the registry entries windows 7/8
require.
I know it's an old program but I have been using it for years and see no reason to change.
So I need help in understanding what I need to do to get windows 7/8 to display the context menu entry correctly

Photshop CS6 not showing as `open-with` for desktop/external hard.drive images

Hi, I have CS6 and am using Photoshop, but when I try to open any image on my desktop the `open with` option dosent include Photoshop CS6, only other Adobe applications; even when I browse I can only find the Adobe systems file, with the .exe doc; I have a lot of images to edit, preferably without having to open Photoshop and individually open them from their folders; any advice on how to make Photshop CS6 `open-with`-able for any desktop/external hard drive images?

Thanks for raising this issue. I found the answer at: http://www.flickr.com/groups/photoshopsupport/discuss/72157630067784368/. Hope it works. I have done it but I believe I must now reboot before trying it.

Mac - navigateToURL opens default application for .html files instead of browser

On Mac I have Adobe AIR version <string>3.1.0.4880</string> and I have selected TextMate for .html file as default application. With this configuration when I call navigateToURL in my app to open browser, it opens TextMate instead of default browser.
Following is the simple code to open URL:
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(urlRequest, "_blank");
Is this known issue? Any workaround for this?
Thanks,

Since you've remapped what your default response to .html files are, you can't use navigateToURL() or openWithDefaultApplication().
So it looks like you'll need to use the NativeProcess class:

How do I change the default "open with" application for certain files?? I've tried EVERYTHING!!

Hi guys!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone help me!!! I have been trying for ages to change this!! It is SO frustrating!! I recently bought a new MacBook Pro 13" after my old one (2009) got stolen. Went from Snow Leopard to 10.8.2, restored all my apps and files etc (thanks goodness I backed up).
NOW I have a problem! All my .xls and .doc files open up with Pages and Numbers, and not OpenOffice. NO MATTER WHAT I DO!!!
The basic "change open with" "always use this application" story doesn't work. It always reverts back to Pages or Numbers. I also tried a Terminal Command I found on this forum from way back in 2010. But that doesn't work either. I also tried a .pst deletion but I don't have a .com.apple.launches.pst file!
PLEASE GUYS. PLEASE! SOMEONE HELP ME HERE!!!!!!!!!! It's driving me nuts!!!!! LIKE NUTS!!!!!!!

Here is what I would do:
Update OpenOffice to the latest Mac OS X version for improved compatibiity with Mountain Lion.
Boot into Safe Mode to clear caches, verify/repair permissions, and rebuild font database, etc.
Reboot, holding down the shift key until you see a progress bar on the grey boot screen.
At the login prompt, and before you click the right arrow button to login, press and hold shift again.
Reboot normally.
Now follow sig's advice, and specify OpenOffice as the can opener for Word and Excel files.
If OpenOffice installs into a /Applications folder as individual writer, and sheet applications, then use these names respectively for Word and Excel files.
LibreOffice (what I use) only offers the LibreOffice application choice.

Video and/or sound will not show in Adobe Photoshop 12 for m2ts files.

I have just added Adobe Photoshop 12. The m2ts videos will either: 1) not show with a black screen and have video; or 2) will show but have video for only 30 seconds. HELP! I've read the forums, and I've tried everything I could find as suggested. Nothing fixes BOTH issues. I'm ready to return product and go back to 8.0.

Sometimes it pays to munch the video file through the Adobe Media Encoder app, even if it's going to come out in the same format as before. This app is free and gets installed along with Captivate but you can also download it from the Adobe website. It seems to make videos compatible with Captivate.

Can you set a second "Open with:" application for a file?

Hi all,
I was wondering if something like this exists for OS X Lion or greater: you can set a default application to open a type of file, say Safari for all .html files, but can you set a second default application for a file?
I usually open files using command + o or command + down arrow from the Finder and I've often thought how good it would be to hit an alternate keyboard shortcut to open the selected file in a secondary default application.
For example, if I'm making a web page and have the .html selected in the finder I can hit command + o (or command + down arrow) to open it in Safari and if the file isn't open in my editor and is selected in the Finder I can hit, say command + option + o (or command + option + down arrow) to open the .html file in my editor.
Does anyone know if this can be achieved in OS X Lion or greater?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi all,
If anyone's interested in a partial solution, I've rigged up the following.
I ended up using an Automator action coupled with Spark to capture a keyboard key combination. Spark: http://www.shadowlab.org/Software/spark
I've used Spark before with good results, and although it's from 2008 it still works on Lion.
I created an Automator action that does two things:
gets the selected Finder items
opens finder items in the text editor I'm using.
I then saved the workflow as an application so that Spark could run it.
I've set up a keyboard shortcut that Spark picks up and calls my Automator workflow. It all seems to work nicely.
So, I've created a specific "open selected file with <text editor>" keyboard shortcut that should do for the time being.

The "Open With" menu for PDF files has 19 apps listed to choose from.

How do I modify the drop down menu for "Open With" to eliminate about 15 apps suggested for PDF files?

I want to permanently shorten the list down to only a few apps to select from.

How to add pdf.js option to 'Open With' dialog for PDF files?

I've set the action for opening PDF files to 'Always Ask'. Then I can save the file or open it with any other pdf viewer. But the 'open with' option in that dialog box lists only the external pdf viewers. An option in that dialog box to view the file within firefox using pdf.js would be helpful.

Thanks but I'm aware of that. What I need is to keep the option as 'Always Ask' without changing it to 'Preview in Firefox'. And then when I click on a pdf link, it would open up the dialog box asking what to do. It has several options such as 'Open With' and 'Save File'. What I want is to have 'Preview in Firefox' as an option in that dialog box. So then I can choose some files to open in Firefox, some to download and some to open in external readers. I would choose the action for each file. Is that possible?

Safari did not offer an open in option for PDF file

I went to Safari and went to a web based PDF file and selected the icon that brought up the list of options that did not include open in. Do I need to do something to get Safari to include that in the list?
Thank you.

Compressor is not a finder "open with" recommended application for qt's

On my macbookpro If I select a quicktime file in the finder and go to the file:open with:recommended applications, compressor is not a choice. I can easily choose it as a nonrecommended application, but it's a bit of a pain. The same is true for a quicktime export from fcp (the first quicktime export option, not quicktime conversion) which has a fcp icon not a qt icon. On my G5 tower, qt files do have compressor as an option for open with, but fcp exports, do not.
Obviously I could change the "open with" option in the file info for either an individual file or all files of this type, but I just want compressor available in the "open with" list for either file type.
This ain't a deal breaker, just a minor annoyance.

What version of FCS/FCP, Michael?
If you're using FCP 5.x, the issue with QuickTime Movie exports from FCP is because those movies do not have an .mov extension. You can't drag them to the Compressor icon on the dock and force Compressor to open, for instance, like you can for anything else that actually has a .mov extension.
As far as opening QT movies with Compressor, mind explaining why you're doing this? That is, you're opening them in Compressor for previewing purposes, correct?

I have no "open with" option for downloads

I click on a file within a website to open it, but the pop up box does not have the "open with.." option, only the save option. The file type is a text document with the extension ".prg" which is associated in my Windows Folder Options to open with Wordpad. Within Firefox Tools/Options/Applications, this file type does not show up, so I cannot change it. I read elsewhere where this is blamed on MIME type in the HTML header, but Microsoft Internet Explorer gets it right every time, only Firefox does not recognize the file type.
As an aside, the same site has files with the extension".chg" that I open with Notepad. Firefox gives the "open with" option for these files, with Notepad as the defauld, but the "Always open with" is greyed out. Not that I care, as the default is what I want, but....

Firefox goes by the mimetype and not the file type as IE does.

Temporarily changing the "open with" app for a batch of files

I've written a number of scripts which have been saved as application bundles. One of the resource folders (named "Image Files") contains all the image files used in the script -- but the image files may have a variety of default applications for opening.
I'm working on a separate script to facilitate editing the application bundles if and as necessary, and editing the image files is part of that. I need the option of opening the image files with an application other than the file's default application -- for example, I might want to open the image files with Photoshop.
In my editing script I can easily enough get a list of the image files. But to open them with, say, Photoshop, I find that I have to use a Photoshop tell block and the full path to each file as it is called (otherwise it opens with its default application). If there are hundreds of image files, that's a lot of work!
I'm seeking a "global" command that will tell all files in folder "Image Files" to open with app "Photoshop" (just in this script, as I don't want to change the defaults).
Possible?

I probably didn't explain my requirements thoroughly
Your suggestion:
"You mean like:
tell application "Finder"
open every file of folder "Macintosh HD:path:to:Image Files" using "Macintosh HD:Applications:PhotoShop.app"
end tell"
isn't quite it.
(For one thing, that has the somewhat alarming result of opening all the image files in the folder simultaneously, and there may be hundreds.)
In plain English, what I had in mind was more like:
"Set the 'open with' application of every file in folder 'Macintosh HD:path:to:Image Files' to Adobe Photoshop.app"
such that, if I were to have those files in a list, and were to open them one at a time, they'd open with Photoshop without further instruction -- this without affecting the default applications (or 'open with' applications) of the files from which those files were duplicated (assuming that there are such 'original' files).
Since this still may be unclear, here's another explanation:
• Say I have ten .jpg files on the desktop, all set to 'open with' Preview.
• I duplicate those ten files to the Image Files folder of the application bundle.
• If I open any one of those files at the desktop, I want it to open in Preview.
• But if I open any one of those files in the Image Files folder, I want it to open in Photoshop. (The
files in the Image Files folder could each have its 'open with' application reset manually, but
with hundreds of files I'd much prefer AS to do that. As far as I can tell, doing that -- manually
or with AS -- would result in different 'open with' settings for a file on the desktop and the
corresponding file in the Image Files folder, which is basically what I'm after.
Can I get AS to do this?

I have just downloaded a free app and there is no icon and it will not open from the list even tho it appears to have downloaded and the "open" button is available. Does not show up when I search for it. Plenty of memory . . .

I Have an iPad mini running iOS 7.1.2, I downloaded a new app and it's icon does not appear anywhere ( have ~ 180 apps so not at limit) and it won't open from the purchased apps list. It does not show up when I search for it so can't open t that way either. It doesn't require iOS 8. Can't delete and reinstall, cause not icon. This is not a normal "app won't open" question. it doesn't start the. Stop it just doesn't seem to exist. Any help is appreciated

Command, Tab option not showing all open applications

Hi,
Just upgraded to Mountain Lion and now when using the combination of Command+TAB not all open applications are displayed.
This seems like a bug or am I missing something

I want to add to list as having same issue... Even core Apple programs not showing up (Safari, iPhoto) in Command Tab. But Mail, iCal do show up in Command + Tab. Also noticed that only some applications "minimize window into the application icon", while others get minimized to bottom right of Dock. Additionally no "Show indicator lights for open application" appears for those missing programs. I attempted to select-unselect both of those in the Preferences -> Dock options and restart a few times, with no success.
The same programs missing from Command + Tab are also missing a graphic icon in Dashboard view (only Application Name appears).
Issue is new to OS X Mountion Lion, I did not have that problem before.

Transaction posted to subledger account does not show as open

Hi Experts,
After configuring the basic settings, I posted an expense based vendor invoice using T.Code FB60. When I checked this entry in Vendor line item(FBL1N), it does not show as open, but cleared. At line item level clearing details show as follows "Clearing 10/09/2011 / ALE-extern". Is it a technical problem or a fuctional?

Hi,
Please check this note which may help you:
Note 712678 - ALE FIDCMT Correction Report: Reset Clearing 'External ALE'

I dont know which has been indicated in note but still it is something regarding external system for which your document gets cleared automatically in external system.
You can also check with your ABAP or BASIS person.
