Safari "Download Linked File As ..." dialog box seems to convert 3 or more consecutive period chars (\056) in the new file name into a Unicode ellipsis char \342\200\246 in the file name.  How prevent this ?

Safari "Download Linked File As ..." dialog box seems to convert 3 or more consecutive period chars (\056) into a Unicode ellipsis char ( \342\200\246 ) in the file name that I type.  How does one prevent this ?

I know nothing about “EndNote”, but allow me to give you some general advice. Your first, commented-out, line (“--section to wait for window to pop up”) indicates that you need to change the basic way you are tackling what you want to do. When writing any script, if you know the name and location of a file or a directory (folder) you should not cause (or allow, or need) your script to open an Open or a Save window -- just use the path that you already know.

  • File Save dialog box not showing correct file name while saving file

    hi
    Currently, after the Submit button is hit, the File Save dialog box is displayed. If the user saves the file and then opens it then the output appears correct however if the user chooses to open the file without saving on the local machine then the correct viewer is not used to display the file. The name of the file is defaulted as qotSCopPrint.jsp and the default file viewer for jsp files is chosen to view the file. The format of the file is obviously not text (it is either pdf or rtf) so the output shows binary characters.

    data : v_repid like sy-repid.
    parameters : p_file like rlgrap-filename.
    initialization.
    v_repid = sy-repid.

  • How to invoke 'File Open' dialog box in Forms (under unix)

    Hi all,
    On the Unix platform (motif), how do I get the File Open Dialog
    Box by using Forms45.
    Thanks and regards,
    Srinivasa.

    going from 6i to 10g is a migration. That's no easy step normally.
    client-server-functionality has gone. web-functionality is new.
    Install the new webutil-toolset from oracle and use the new file-open-dialog from the webutil.pll. That's the way you work in the new 10g-environment.
    Read in the forms-section of the OTN the migration-papers and the webutil-doc's

    And in any case, in any version of Windows that I've looked at, the file copy animation is an AVI, not a GIF.

  • 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 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

  • 'Save Scanned File As' dialog box causing problems

    A lot of our users just upgraded to Adobe Std 8 from Adobe Std 7. With Adobe Std 8, the 'Save Scanned File As' dialog box comes up even before the document gets scanned (this was not the case with Adobe Std 7). How do you get rid of the dialog box? This is causing us a lot of problems because our Adobe is integrated with a document management program called DM5. With Adobe Standard 8 our users cannot save directly to DM5.Because the
    #Save Scanned File As# dialog box comes up first, now they have to tell Adobe to save it first somewhere other than DM, after the document
    gets scanned they save the document again to DM then they go back and delete the document that they saved in the other location. Is there a registry setting or anything that I can set to get rid of the 'Save Scanned File As' box. If you hit CANCEL, the document does not get scanned so users really do not have a choice but to save the document twice. As I said earlier, this was not the case with Adobe Std 7.

    Is there a registry setting or anything that I can set to get rid of the 'Save Scanned File As' box.
    No.

    The compilation within Studio works with a bit smaller (like 35MBytes) project, thus I think the problem is some sort of memory handling.
    The problem comes up while it is trying to compie/load 'external resources': it still works with 512M or even 256M of heap before this operation.
    Some weird thing is that I cannot set Xmx >640M, nor launcher.XXMaxPermSize > 1024M (winXP SP2, 2G RAM). While I'm sure that nothing is hacked around the memory allowance of Windows (i.e. how much memory does it allow for particular executables), I think this operation should be tested to work even on 256M heap...
    On the other hand, the ANT compilation works well.
    Well, almost well.
    I have had some errors in my project, which ALBPM6.0 said to be OK, like defining a String array attribute 'not null' and setting no default value; or defining some object to be abstract and instantiating it.
    However these errors are not always reported, e.g. during catalog compilation: XY must be explicitly instantiated before being used since it does not have a default initialization... thus made it static (however, it has been used as static all the time).
    I had to hack CatalogPublisher a bit so that I can read them on stdout, and correct those syntax errors.
    For this possibility, iterate over the non-empty foCheckerListener.getPresentationErr() in CatalogPublisher after checkXO().

    I am running Firefox RC.

    figured it out:
    - power off mac and turn back on while holding down Command + R (dont do it on an external keyboard just to be safe)
    - choose the re-install Lion option (I'm sure there is another way to re-install Lion, this is just the way I did it, not saying its the best or only method)
    - DO NOT INSTALL MACBOOK (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0 - THIS SCREWS ADOBE UP!
