Save As dialog issues: won't choose file format

The file formats seem to be all jumbled in the Save As dialog box. If I choose TIFF, I get EPS files. If I choose JPEG, I get .CFM files, etc.

You're on MacOS, and you either copied plugins from a previous version of Photoshop, or set the additional plugins preference to point to a previous version of Photoshop.
Go remove the plugins you copied, or turn off that preference.
You should not try to use all the plugins from a previous version of Photoshop.
Now, the bug comes about because the menu in the save dialog doesn't like to show duplicate items (which would happen because you have duplicate plugins), and we're working on that problem.
But you need to go fix the duplicate plugins first.

How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?

How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?
Here's my favorite scenario:
1. User clicks button
2. Save As dialog displays
3. User chooses location
4. A set of PDF files download to that location OR a single zip file downloads
Background:
I want to ensure the user sees that files are being downloaded. I'm delivering content to users who may not be Web savvy.
Concern:
1. User has no clue how to find downloaded files or that files have even downloaded.
2. I'd like to deliver the set as zip files. Not sure if self-opening zip files still exist.
FYI:
I'm using jQuery UI buttons. Not sure if that factors into response.

Just for clarity, I'm not forcing a download. The user will click a button.
Click a button or click a link, either way you're technically executing a script to force a download.
I'm assuming that's the php file resident on the server.
Yes but that's only part of it. Once the contact form executes, another script is called up which opens the browser's download dialogue.
Is there a php script for simply calling the Open/Save dialog box?
Yes.
<?php
/* This short script forces a file download.
   For simplicity, it's intended to be used for a single file.
   You can use multiple copies of this file (with unique names)
   with different variable values to use it with multiple files.
   Use of this script has a side-effect of hiding the location of the
   file on your server.
// full server path to file to be downloaded (including filename)
$Path2File = "path/to-file-on-server.zip";
// the filename
$theFileName = "name-of-file.zip";
//the work gets done here

header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header ("Content-Length: " . filesize($Path2File));

readfile($Path2File);
?>
Name this file zip2download.php.

SaveAs Options dialog issues

Hi all,
I am working with Illustrator 5.1 on MacOS 10.6.8.
I need to do a SaveAs for the current document with the first dialog (File Selector) hidden and the second dialog (Options) filled in with predefined values and displayed to the user.
With "sActionManager->PlayActionEvent(kAISaveDocumentAsAction, ...)" and the good combination of parameters, I am able to hide the first dialog and show the second but it seems that Illustrator ignores the option parameters.
I need this for 2 file formats : EPS and PDF.
With EPS, I am unable to set the version or any other parameters.
Bizarrely, with withUI=true and the kAISaveDocumentAsGetParamsKey line commented, I got a different behavior: dialog 1 is shown and parameters are changed on dialog 2 except the version.
With PDF, I am unable to set the preset value.
I have tried with a name or an index but the menu always selects "Illustrator Default".
Any hints?
T.I.A. for your help.
Georges
Here is my code for EPS:
AIErr SaveEPSTest(bool withUI, bool getParams, int version)
    AIErr err = kNoErr;
    AIActionParamValueRef vpb = NULL;
    err = sActionManager->AINewActionParamValue(&vpb);
    if (!err)
        err = sActionManager->AIActionSetString(vpb, kAISaveDocumentAsNameKey, sSaveFilePath_EPS);
    if (!err)
        err = sActionManager->AIActionSetString(vpb, kAISaveDocumentAsFormatKey, kAIEPSFileFormat);
    if (!err)
        err = sActionManager->AIActionSetBoolean(vpb, kAISaveDocumentAsGetParamsKey, getParams);
    if (!err)
        err = sActionManager->AIActionSetInteger(vpb, kAIEPSVersionKey, version);                        // 3..15
    if (!err)
        err = sActionManager->AIActionSetBoolean(vpb, kAIEPSIncludeCJKFontsKey, false);
    // ..... other parameters
    if (!err)
        err = sActionManager->PlayActionEvent(kAISaveDocumentAsAction, withUI ? kDialogOn : kDialogOff, vpb);
    if (vpb)
        sActionManager->AIDeleteActionParamValue(vpb);
    return err;
Here is my code for PDF:
AIErr SavePDFTest(bool withUI, bool getParams)
    AIErr err = kNoErr;
    AIActionParamValueRef vpb = NULL;
    err = sActionManager->AINewActionParamValue(&vpb);
    if (!err)
        err = sActionManager->AIActionSetString(vpb, kAISaveDocumentAsNameKey, sSaveFilePath_PDF);
    if (!err)
        err = sActionManager->AIActionSetString(vpb, kAISaveDocumentAsFormatKey, kAIPDFFileFormat);
        err = sActionManager->AIActionSetBoolean(vpb, kAISaveDocumentAsGetParamsKey, getParams);
//    if (!err)
//        err = sActionManager->AIActionSetInteger(vpb, kAIPDFOptionSetKey, 6);                            // kAIPDFOptionSetCustom
    if (!err)
        err = sActionManager->AIActionSetString(vpb, kAIPDFOptionSetNameKey, "GL");
    if (!err)
        err = sActionManager->PlayActionEvent(kAISaveDocumentAsAction, withUI ? kDialogOn : kDialogOff, vpb);
    if (vpb)
        sActionManager->AIDeleteActionParamValue(vpb);

I would like to know how i can save an byte array to a mat file format (matlab file format '*.mat') within to use the matlab API

So, I search the binary matlab file format('*.mat').

Title:
Moving Data Between MATLAB® and LabVIEW
Problem:
How can I share data between LabVIEW and the MATLAB environment?
Solution:
MATLAB users can move data between the
MATLAB environment and LabVIEW, you have several options. Prior to
LabVIEW 5.1, the only way to transfer data between these two
environments was to use the Save and Load functions. Those are discussed herein.
Beginning
in LabVIEW 8.0, MathScipt was introduced. MathScript is an integrated
part of LabVIEW that you can use to combine intuitive graphical
dataflow programming with math-oriented textual programming. See the
attached links below for more information on MathScript.
Beginning
in LabVIEW 5.1, the MATLAB script node was introduced into the LabVIEW
programming environment. The MATLAB script node makes ActiveX calls to
the MATLAB software from within LabVIEW. This requires that both MATLAB
be installed on the same machine and that a valid license is obtained.
More information on the MATLAB script node can be found in the attached
KB's.
For all versions of LabVIEW, this data transfer can be
performed by saving the data in a file using the MATLAB software and
reading it directly from LabVIEW, or vice versa. In the MATLAB
environment, the command "save" allows you to save the data in
binary format (*.mat) or ASCII format. You also have an option of
saving it in ASCII format using a tab delimiter between data points and
the command "load" allows you to read in the data.
ASCII Format
Complete the following steps to import or export data between LabVIEW and the MATLAB environment using an ASCII file format.
From the MATLAB environment to LabVIEW
To save a vector or a matrix X in tab-delimited ASCII format, enter the following in the command window or m-script file in the MATLAB environment:
>>SAVE filename X -ascii -double -tabs
This creates a file named filename containing data X in tab-delimited ASCII format.
Import the file into LabVIEW using the Read From Spreadsheet File VI located on the Functions»File I/O palette.
From LabVIEW to the MATLAB environment
To export a matrix X from LabVIEW to the MATLAB environment, first save the data in ASCII format in LabVIEW using the Write To Spreadsheet File VI on the Functions » File I/O palette.
Enter the following in the command window of the MATLAB environment, or in the m-script file:
>> LOAD filename
This reads the data into the MATLAB environment.
Binary Format
Complete the following steps to import or export data between LabVIEW and the MATLAB environment.
From the MATLAB environment to LabVIEW
As mentioned above, LabVIEW does not save multiple variables to one
data with extra manipulation, and will not be discussed here.
Therefore, the only way of sending the data from the MATLAB environment
to LabVIEW without tampering with the MAT binary file structure is
using the ASCII format. Also, please bear in mind that you need to have
one file for one variable.
From LabVIEW to the MATLAB environment
Because
the MATLAB software saves data in its own binary format, the "MAT"
file, binary LabVIEW data must be converted to this format prior to
transferring the data. The attached examples can be used to save
LabVIEW data in the MATLAB software format. The convenience of the .MAT
file format is that more than one variable can be saved in the same
file. The example shows saving seven variables to .MAT format; the
example can be modified for any number of variables.
Once this data is saved from LabVIEW, it can be read into the MATLAB environment, using the following command:
>>LOAD filename
The Who
command can then be used to display all the seven variable names, and
you can display the content of them by entering the variable names at
the command prompt as usual.

File upload - issue with European .csv file format

All,
when uploading the .csv file for "Due List for Planned Receipts" in the File Transfer Upload center I receive an error. It appears that it is due to the european .csv file format that is delimited by semicolon rather than comma. The only way I could solve this issue is to change Regional and Language options to English. However, I don't think this is a great solution as I can't ask all our suppliers to change their settings. Has anyone come across this issue and another way of solving it?
Thank you!
Have a good day,
Johanna

Igor thank you for your suggestion.
I found this SAP note:
+If you download a file, and the formatting of the CSV file is faulty, it is possible that your column separator does not match the standard settings of the SAP system. In the standard SAP system, the separator is ,.
To ensure that the formatting is correct, set your global default for column separation in your system, so that it matches that of the SAP system you are using.+
To do that Microsoft suggests to change the "List separator" in the Regional and Language Options Customize view. Though like you suggest that does not seem to do the trick. Am I missing something?
However, if I change the whole setting from say German to English (UK) the .csv files are comma delimited and can be easily uploaded. Was hoping there would be another way of solving this without need for custom development.

Save/Export dialog issue

(I've already reported this to Apple directly via Customer Support.)
In the past, when this box popped up, we could simple click on any of the pre-existing file names, thus renaming the "Untitled" file, whose name was then easy to append as needed. In Mavericks, the file names don't highlight when clicked, and don't rename the file. To me, this represents a big loss in functionality, which slows down my workflow. (since a whole new file name has to be typed in)

Here's a screen shot of what I am talking about. I'm sure my description is confusing.
Basically it always comes up this size and I have to enlarge by draging or maximizing.
I would prefer to resize once, say open up to 3 columns, and have it come up like that all the time.
Thanks!

Will Word 2016 have the option to save documents as the Word 97-2003 file format like Word 2013 does?

This is talking about if Word 2016 will have the option to save documents as the Word 97-2003 format like Word 2013 does or not.

Hi Carolyn,
It sounds as though the filename extension association has become confused on your system. It's odd that it happened after conversion, but it should be easy to fix nonetheless.
Here are some instructions for changing file associations on both Mac OS and Windows:
Change File Associations in Mac OS X - OS X Daily
Change which programs Windows uses by default ... (Windows 7)
Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help (Windows Vista)
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

How to Choose File format of Exported Clip

I needed a clip from my movie for use in Live Type so I created Sub Clip from a longer duration clip and then exported it as QT movie. Or I thought I was doing that but the only choice of format I was given was .dv. How do you choose .mov or other format from the Export to QT menu choice?

Hi(Bonjour)
Set in and out points in timeline (after your subclip was placed in it).
Choose export to quicktime with conversion. Select mov, and under video, select animation codec.

Won't recognize file format

When I click on an excel or word document it can't find the application but if I open up an excel or word program first it will open the document in the correct program. How do I correct this "link"?

Hi Terry!
Do your Office documents have the appropriate file extensions appended to their filenames (.doc, .xls, etc.)? This is imperative for Windows and growing more and more necessary for Mac files.

Acrobat 8 Save-As Dialog

OK, this is really trivial, but to me very annoying. When I save a file from Adobe Acrobat (Pro 8), I almost always go to type a path, e.g.:
c:\books\newbook.pdf
and Acrobat tells me:
"The characters cannot be used in a file name: \/:.." etc
I have to pick up the mouse and navigate to the directory where I want to save the file. I understand what the error message is saying, but why can't I just type a path? I can do that when I OPEN a file, but not when I SAVE one. Surely that's not right?
The help text says:
"Save a copy of a PDF
Choose File > Save As (or Save A Copy, if Save As is not shown).
In the Save As dialog box, enter the filename and *location*, and click Save."
but I am not permitted to enter a "location" (path).
Or is this configurable somewhere?
Thanks

I'll have to check. Think my work desktop is at AA8.2.4. Maybe that will do it. I just noticed that they have redone the Adobe web site again and a lot of the "dropdown" menus are not dropping down. You have to go through multiple pages now to get the the updates or do a search on the updates! Leave it to web designers to make things difficult.

Creating a Save As dialog box with Applescript for Excel 2008

This is going to be part of a larger script. I'm trying to figure out how to make the default save location to where the file opened from and the default file name to the current filename in the dialog box.
Here is what I go so far...
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
tell active workbook
set myFile to choose file name with prompt "Save file as:"
end tell
end tell
I'm very new with working with Applescript, so at this point I have been piecing together code snippets.
Any help would be great and thank you

The choose file name command supports a default location parameter that tells it where to open the dialog:
set myFile to choose file name with prompt "Save file as:" default location (alias "Macintosh HD:Users:username:foldername:")
So you need to look at the Excel dictionary to determine the path to the current file and insert it into the script. Every version of Excel has slightly different dictionaries so the version you're running is critical to getting the right syntax.

Prompting a "Save As" dialog for an accepted mime type

Hi ,
I am using the following code to prompt a "Save As" dialog bod for an xls file:
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=test.xls");
This does work, it prompts the save as dialog box with the name "test.xls" if i click on save. However if i click on open, it displays an error saying the file could not be found.
Any idea how to specify a custom file name for an accepted mime type?
Thanks in advance

Ok let me try & be more clear.
I have a JSP page. In this page there is an "Create Excel" link. When this link is clicked, the JSP dynamically creates the data. Then the following code:
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=test.xls");
This causes the file save dialog box to be created. This dialog box has "open" & "save" options.
When the save option is clicked, the user is prompted to save a file named test.xls. However if the user clicks on the "Open" dialog box, then the file is not opened,i get an error message saying the file does not exist.
If i dont specify the
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=test.xls");
Then the file save dialog box displays a default filename which is the same as name of my servlet. This works for both Open as well as save options.
I hope i have not confused you further..:)
Please help!
