Quick for timestamp when naming a file in save dialog?

I would like to be able to add a timestamp when naming a file in the save dialog. The reason is that it will give me a quick way to name a file when the rest of the file name I have entered might conflict with a file of the same name.
Is there a quick key combo that would does this?
Thanks.
Matt

I found another solution elsewhere.

Keyboard shortcut for the Document Folder in file open/save dialog

Does anyone know if there exists a keyboard shortcut for Document Folder in the File Save/Open Dialog? <command><shift>O works in the Finder. I tried variations of that in the dialog and didn't find any. <command>D takes you to the desktop. I tried other variations surrounding that to get to the Document Folder and didn't find any.
Anyone? Bueller?

There isn't.

How to open File open/save dialog for a file saved in the Appl. Server?

Hi Experts,
My requirement is that, there will be a link in my BSP page "Link to BI Report" and when the user will click this link, the File open/save Dialog box will appear for a BI Report file that will be in a fixed path in the Application Server. I have checked with <a href="/usr/sap/tmp/bi_report.csv"> tag but it is not working. The BI report file will be currently in the CSV format. Any ideas about how to achieve this? Thanks in advance.

File Open/Save dialog

Hi,
One of my pet peeves about Jdeveloper and by extension of SQLDeveloper is that the file open/save dialog does not have quick way to navigate to familiar places on my computer like "My Documents" or "Desktop". For eg., in Word, I can navigate to My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places.
I know Jdeveloper and SQLD are also meant for the Unix Platform, but having shortcuts like My Network Places, Desktop, My Computer etc atleast for the Windows based tools would make it immensly easier to find files.
Something even better would be to allow each person to customize that list of shortcuts he can have in that list.
Thanks
Alex

Yes, this is absolutely necessary for Windows users!
In a non-java Windows application I can usually put a shortcut to my favored directory in the directory an application might default to, then double-click it and the windows environment is smart enough to move to that directory, and I can save my files.
Java is stupid in this regard. It thinks you are trying to save the file to the name of the shortcut. I CANNOT stand an application that isn't smart enough to set preferences to default file locations!
I should also add that I set the USER_DIR to the directory I save all my files in (on my u:drive) and SQL Developer then runs those files without the entire path (I can just put in @a for example) but it is too STUPID to save to this directory!

Is there a way to reduce the size of a final PDF created for print when saving a file?

Is there a way to reduce the size of a final PDF created for print when saving in any software (especially illustrator)? I don't want any quality to decrease at the same time. Thanks!

Personally I would avoid optimizing the PDF's via Adobe Acrobat Pro unless you understand what you are removing from the PDF; having said that, it is the most effective way to reduce the file-size in the right hands.
If I am sending out layouts for commercial print I change my default Print / Export setting from Standard to PDF/A-1b:2005 (CMYK). This will resolve a lot of common print problems for print-ready documents and it should embed your fonts and flatten transparencies etc.
If your document is still too large you run an Audit Space Usage using Adobe Acrobat Pro. In the left pane enable 'Content' and then hit the button in the top left corner of the Content Pane and choose Audit Space Usage.

Acrobat 9 Pro - PDF Optimizer fails when selecting overwrite file during save process

Hello Everyone,
I am wondering if Acrobat 9 Pro has changed in the way it handles PDF Optimizing functioning when trying to overwrite the file you are attempting to optimize. In Acrobat 8 Professional, it overwrites the file just fine when it gets to the save process. It does work when you modify the name during the save process, however, it would be nice to know if this is "the way it works" or the "program has an issue".
Thoughts?
Message received when trying to overwrite the file,
COnversion Warnings> "An error was encountered while saving the document."
Logically, it seems as though the application cannot save over an "opened" file thus dumping that message on me.
Regards. D.

How do I stop Photoshop CS6 from asking to save changes to a file when closing the file, after "savi

I save a lot of files to "save for web". After saving PS asks if I want to save changes to the original file. I never want to save the changes to the original. Since the default is to change the file I am afraid I will accidentally OK the change without wanting to. I would like it to stop asking and just not save it. Is there a way?

Then don't work on the original open the file using Photoshop menu file>open once its in Photoshop as a document dupe the document and close the original document. Photoshop will just close the original and not ask it you want to save the original document for no changes were made to it. You could easily record an action to automate this process. The first step in the action would be an inserted menu item menu File>Open. The second step Duplicate Document, third step select previous document the fourth and final step close. The action would look like this recorded Work in the dupe and save it under the name you want to where you want it saved. The First step is an interactive you will be able to open any file Photoshop has support for that you have access to.

File Open/Save dialog Restrict the user path selection Is there any way?

Hello,
Is there any way by which we can restrict the user from selecting the path from the Folder Browser/ File Open/ File Save dialog boxes?
For example, I have a list of paths & want to allow the users to select from those paths or their sub folders. Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks!

Hello Vinay Pugalia,
>>For example, I have a list of paths & want to allow the users to select from those paths or their sub folders. Is there any way to achieve this?
As far as I know, starting with Windows Vista, the Open and Save As common dialog boxes have been superseded by the
Common Item Dialog:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646960%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
You could have a try to restrict the value of “look in”(shown in the opne dialog) and “Save in”(shpwn in the save dialog). If you want an example about the usage of this API, you could post a code sample request to:

Tolerance for time when using .gpx files to geotag

Okay, so we had our trip all planned and landed on Sunset Beach in Florida for a week of sun and fun. Planning to takes many photos, I bought and installed GeotagPhotos for my iPhone. While I wasn't the best at turning it on when I should have, I did manage to get several tracks. However, when I import those tracks to LR4, select all photos (474 of them) and ask LR4 to 'Select Photos on TrackLog', it selects no photos.
I have manually checked dates/times of photos with dates/times in the tracklog, and they are similar, but maybe not exact (down to the second), so my question is:
Does LR4 use a tolerance on time? If so, what is that tolerance?

Thank you for your response. It prompted me to recall that I had Motion-X for my iPhone. I installed the updated version and tested it. It worked perfectly. Not sure what's going on with GeotagPhotos, but it wasn't accurate at all.
Again, thanks.

File open/save dialog causes SPOD with 10.10.3

Just updated to 10.10.3 from 10.10.2 using the combo updater (after hearing stories of people being hosed by the normal updater and having success once the combo was applied).
Now, however, I find that whenever any application needs to open or save a file, and the directory selected in the dialog has a LOT of files (like 10K files), I get a SPOD (spinning pinwheel of death) for minutes. MINUTES. This never happened on any previous iteration of any MacOS. This is on a MBP late-2013 with 16GB of RAM and a SSD.
Already repaired permissions. Checked the filesystem with Disk Utility. It's OK.
This is really debilitating.
I have a saved process sample output from Safari while it was in SPOD mode with the file dialog open. I can upload this if would be interesting to anyone. NOTE: just attempting to save this sample trace from within Activity Monitor caused that application to SPOD while it was asking me where to save the sample output.

File Open/Save Dialog box

Dear Friends,
I have a unique problem, I developed a form (in Oracle Forms 6.0), utilizing the Forms "GET_FILE_NAME" built-in to activate the FILE Open Dialog box.
It is working fine if I execute the form in WINDOWS-NT environment.
But the same form, when I web deploy it and run it under both NETSCAPE or INTERNET browser
the "GET_FILE_NAME" built-in fails to get activated, i.e no File Open Dialog box appears on the browser.
Any Clues ??
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Mohammed,
the file open dialog you used with winnt is based on the windows api, wich does, of course, not work in a java applet.
If you want to use file access from within webforms, you have to extend the forms applet with your own java classes. To do this, you can use the PJC mechanism forms provides (pjc=pluggable java components). Furthermore, if you want to do things like open files on the client (wich are not allowed for java applets) you have to sign your java classes. These things seem to be very complex (and they are), but I've done this work successfully. If you need more information, look at at technet, there are lots of white papers and examples.

The "Recently Used" entry in the file open/save dialog

The file selection dialog (eg: save/open/etc) on gtk applications has a "Recently Used" option:
Over size imaged reduced to link
This has generally not shown any options for me (for some reason, firefox suddenly showed a single entry this time).
I find no use for it either, so rather than having it list recent entries I'd like this option gone (or at least stop being the default!), and the last-used (or maybe just my home) being shown by default.
Any hints on how to disable this? What about the "Search" option just above it (equally non-working, and equally undesired by myself).
Moderator edit: Converted over sized thumbnail to text. (Hint: Your img embedded in a url was perfect -- except the image should be a thumbnail, not the full sized image. Feel free to edit this post and remove my redaction if you want to use img tags with a small thumbnail)

No, I'm not using gnome. And this was actually the first time I saw this dialog non-empty. However, it's not related to gtk2 or gtk3: I see the same behaviour on gtk3 apps.
I all honesty though, I don't care about recently used being populated because I anticipate having the same results you've just described.

Thanks, I'm aware of this, but this merely covers the firefox download option (firefox seems to actually remember the last used), not all gtk apps in general.

LabVIEW 2012 crashes on different File Open/Save dialogs, if last working directory no longer exists

On several Windows 7, 64 bit machines, if I open LV2012 SP1 f1 64 bits, create a VI and save it on a directory, exit LabVIEW, delete the directory where I saved the VI, restart LabVIEW and do a File/Open, LabView goes puff and disappears.
Sometimes it happens on File/Save As. To fix this I have to double click on an existing VI on Explorer, save it, and then after exiting and restarting LabVIEW I can do File Open again.
I do have Classic Shell installed on all the systems, but even after uninstalling it and rebooting the machine, the behavior is the same.
I tried removing the file from the list of last opened files in LabVIEW.ini but that doesn't do the trick.

Not sure if this is related or something else, however I now have a VI on my desktop that if I double click on it brings up LV 12.0.1f3/64, which opens and shows me the file. If I then do File/Save As/Rename and hit Continue, LV crashes.
Error is: Exception: Access violation (0xC0000005) at EIP=0x000007FEFC2DE3C4. I have an about 200 KB dump file if anyone wants it, as the Send button on my error report is disabled and help just tells me to contact my administrator, which is me (and I configured the VLM to allow users to do that, stop and restarted the VLM but still no go).

Adobe Illustrator cc my open file and save dialog windows appear off screen

How do I fix this?

Figured it out. on a MAC holding down cmd-option-shift + Q did the job after logging back in.

I do not see print dialog when I click File Print and thus cannot select a different printer from previous printing.

When I click File Print, no dialog appears. Instead, printing starts immediately so, I don't get to select a printer. At some point in the distant past (with a previous version of Firefox, maybe), the dialog must have appeared I must have chosen the Office Onenote printer. Now, whenever I print a web page, Firefox always uses that printer.
I can change to another printer by editing the config file but, I have to do that every time I want to change printers. That's a bit cumbersome. Is there any way to force the print dialog to open when I click File Print so that I can chose a printer that way?
I am using Firefox 3.6.3 with Windows XP SP3.
Thanks for you help.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I don't recall exactly.

I was having this issue, first when trying to "Run" and then after saving the exe and trying from the desktop.
To solve it, I simply right-clicked the exe and clicked Run As Administrator. Its installing as I type.
