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!

  • Indd CS4 save/export Dialog Boxes are so small :(

    I have a 24" iMac and now have installed Indesign CS4. The save/place/export dialog boxes are so small. I have dragged them larger and that is great.
    But it does not stay that way across the program or even the same document...
    I don't know if I did something different on CS3 but once I set it, it seemed to always remember the setting even on new documents.

    I can't help but I can confirm I'm getting the same problems in the CS4 apps, not just InDesign (with Leopard 10.5.5). I hope a fix for this comes out eventually. As Mike says, it happens with Save, Save As, Print To Postscript etc so I encounter it at least a hundred times a day. Very frustrating.

  • 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.

  • Save / Export Dialog Window Size

    In InDesign CS4, Mac Leopard, when I go to save or export my dialog window comes up about as small as it can. I'm using column view. In CS3 I would resize to my liking and every time I would save or export from whatever file it would be sized the same as I left it. Now it always comes up tiny making me resize every time. This happened as soon as we switched to CS4. Seems to only be in InDesign, not PSD or AI.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

  • 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)

        err = sActionManager->AINewActionParamValue(&vpb);

        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

  • Export: In the Save as dialog, the file name is always shown as Crystalviewer instead of the report nameu00A0

    Post Author: sijdk
    CA Forum: Exporting
    hi,
    we are using crystal report server XI. in this i am not able  to export a report with particular report name. see the following steps.
    Generate a report. Click the Export icon.Select the format in which the report has to be stored and click Ok button
    Expected Behavior:The Save As form with the report name as file name should be displayed
    Actual BehaviorFile download window is displayed showing the name of report as crystalviewer.rpt and when Save button is clicked, the Save AS dialog with the filename as Crystalviewer is displayed.The user has to specify a meaningful report name

    Post Author: foghat
    CA Forum: Exporting
    This sounds about right, I can't recall if I've never seen Crystal default to the .rpt name when exporting a report.  In developer XI, reports saved on the enterprise server have some crazy long non-nonsensical unique identifier on export.  If the report is saved locally, it just gives untitled.xxx on export. That said, I find the users usually end up renaming the report file name anyways, so not a big issue.

  • CS3  Design Premium Save As/Export Dialog Boxes Hidden

    I posted this originally on the InDesign forum
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b652e3
    - since then, the problem seems to have expanded to the rest of the programs in the CS3 (or it was already existent and I didn't bother testing against it).
    Original Post
    'i"Every time I try to save, export, save as, or (recently) even open a new document now, the dialog box opens with the various options for a split second and then disappears. I think it disappears behind InDesign, but cannot be sure as InDesign will not minimize, even when I Force Minimize everything (Windows-H).
    'iSearched the forums high and low, and tried all of the suggested solutions. I'm on a single-monitor setup. I have reset preferences, deleted/drug out the Documents and Settings InDesign 5.0 Preferences Folder, re started etc. At my whit's end and don't really know what else to do. Are there any other fixes?"
    I know for a fact that Photoshop at least was working fine yesterday (created, saved and saved as multiple layered tiffs). I cannot remember if Version Cue updated just before I left or if I could properly create, save, and save-as then too and it was only after turning it off and returning this morning that it stopped working. Either way, any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Zach

    Okay, awesome! I did that and now the Open dialog box is showing - none of the others are though - does this mean that I'll need to go to each of my dialog boxes missing (save, save as) etc., resize in pshop to use correctly in InDesign? What do I do for the dialog boxes that are in InDesign and aren't showing, but are not in Photoshop (ala "Open New Library" or "Open New Book?")
    Thanks a lot for your help.

  • Excel Save As dialog not appearing for one user

    Hi,
    My company uses a payroll application called Cintra.
    It's possible to run a report in this application and
    export it to Excel.
    When one of the users exports a report and clicks File > Save As > Browse nothing happens. All other users get the Save as dialog.
    Is there any setting that may be preventing this? She does not appear to have this trouble when saving any other
    Excel
    files.
    We all use Excel 2013 on Windows 7 in Citrix.

  • "Save as" dialog -- filename input

    Hello,
    each time if I save an edge animate using the "save as" dialog , the save as dialog opens and I click on another file in order to reuse the file name. The file name is prompted in the save as dialog.
    Now, I like to modify the file name: I click into the file name and enter the first character. Instead of not changing the position, the program is selecting the complete file name and deletes the file name if you continue writing. This is in my opinion an error. The save as dialogs in Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver (I have not tested other Adobe applications) have the same issue.
    Does anyone has a solution for this? I don't have this issue in MS Office or Visual Studio. Seems to be a problem in Adobe applications only.I have updated to the latest available AI, DW, PS and Animate versions (CC 2014.1 and so on).
    Yours
    Stephan

    Hello,
    it is windows standard feature inside a save as dialog box if the box is opened and if you click on an existing file name, the cursor should be places at the end of the filename which is completeley selected.
    Then, you have the option to jump at the end of the input field and the filename will be automatically unselected. This is different inside Adobe file save as dialoges and does not correspond to Windows standard behaviour.
    I would change it in order to be compliant to the expected standard feature.

    I've suddenly started getting this issue today on SSMS 2008 with Win 7.  I can do Save but as soon as I try Save As the whole thing just locks up.  I get a flashing Save icon in the bottom right corner but no Save dialog and all I can do at

    Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?

  • How to avoid the "Save As" dialog when using "Close Button"

    Hello All,
    I am facing a problem while closing a pdf file.
    I am using the following code to Open a pdf file.
    CAcroApp objAcroApp = new AcroAppClass();
    CAcroAVDoc objAVDoc = new AcroAVDoc();
    objAVDoc.Open(C:\\new.pdf,Sample);
    objAcroApp.Show();
    After opening the document I am **** some changes (adding markup) in the file.
    Then I am closing the file using the Close Button and in YES for the save confirmation dialog.
    Here is the problem.
    After giving YES, I am getting a Save As dialog with "Sample.pdf" in the FileName box.
    I am getting this only in Acrobat 9.0.
    When I tried the same in Acrobat 8.0 I didnt get Save As dialog. It saved with out "Save As" dialog in "C:\\new.pdf".
    I need to give the same behavior in both Acrobat 9.0 and 8.0.
    Please help me out to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Mohd Mustafa SK

    In what you have posted, there is no reason it shouldn't work the same way in Acrobat 9. I would recommend that you submit your complete application to developer support.

  • Always prompted with Save As Dialog when viewing dashboard

      We are having problem viewing dashboard which contains Xcelsius document. In our development server we were able to view all dashboards with embedded Xcelsius document but when we move it to our production server it shows different output. Everytime we try to view the dashboard it keeps on prompting a "Save As Dialog" instead of showing the Xcelcius file. I really have no idea on what to do next, please help.

  • Print to PDF is very slow showing "save as" dialog when printing from Outlook 2013

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem with one of my users.  The problem is intermittent.  At first when I was looking at the issue, here is what I saw:
    In Outlook 2013, I opened an e-mail.  I then selected Print, selected the Adobe PDF printer, and hit the print button.  There was over a 1 minute delay before the "save as" dialog appeared to ask me where to save the document and what to name it.  I did this for several different e-mails with and without attachments and the problem was consistent.  I saved the e-mail to a local e-mail file and the problem was the same.  This process was over 30 or 40 minutes.  I was pulled away for another issue and now the "save as" dialog pops up within seconds.  The user is complaining that this happens regularly.  I tried a repair, cleared temp files, and was going to try printing from other apps, but then it started temporarily behaving itself, so I can't tell you if the same delay existed in other apps.  I didn't see anything obvious in the event viewer logs.
    Has anyone else seen this?  Anyone have an idea on how to troubleshoot this?
    Thanks,
    Jeffery Smith

    Thank for your help Bill, but changing settings in the distiller did not seem to work. As my application prints directly to the default application without using anything specific to Acrobat, I was hoping there was a simple way forward. A colleague suggested copying registry entries from the account I logged on as to the S-1-5-18 entry, then rebooting. This had no effect as the prompt still comes up.
    Aandi, I don't have the Acrobat SDK or any experience of it.
    Also I'm not sure where any code/script would sit since the application is stable and so I would rather not change it.
    If it amounts to a few lines of javascript sitting outside the application then that would be of interest.

  • Nowhere to type file name in save as dialog, is this normal . . .

    Hello;
    here's the problem;
    I'm having some problems with my main worksation and I'm going to probably rebuild it from scratch
    (HDD problem & an AVG Baked registry & network stack)
    so I've started by installing AA 2.0 (Full) onto one of  my backup systems
    & will follow with AA3.0 (Upgrade) if I can verify that the system can do the job for me
    here's the problem;
    I installed AA2.0 which is needed to get AA3.0(upgrade) to install
    but I haven't activated or registered yet because I don't want to waste any activations
    if I can't use the system
    is it normal for the save as dialog to not have a place to type a file name when AA isn't activated?
    System:
    HP/Compaq DC7600
    P4HT enabled 3.2GHz
    2GB DDR2 533MHz RAM
    Lots of HDD Space on 5 HDDs
    sidebar:
    why is my insertion point moved all over the page while I type this in firefox?

    thanks for the reply:
    don't know if this some sort of a display redraw issue:
    but if I just hit enter I get the file saved as untitled.wav (which is floating in the middle of the screen not in the correct location)
    and the file ends up in "My Music Folder" (which I never use, but can't change folders either)
    -good grief I hate M$ for their My . . . crap folders
    the system is using similar Intel-GMA integrated graphics as my main workstation
    the only difference is processors and the chipset is one generation back
    my main workstation has 965ry and the backup has 945g

  • Solution for Slow Open and Save As Dialogs under 10.4.4

    I don't know how many others out there may be experiencing this, but...
    I noticed that -- after updating to 10.4.4 -- I started getting really long delays when accessing Open and Save As file dialogs -- I mean, sometimes it would take 5 to 15 seconds for the dialog to appear!
    I did a lot of troubleshooting, and finally hit upon the solution a couple of nights ago:
    It's the Desktop iDisk!
    Going into the .Mac Preference Pane and turning off "iDisk Syncing" has totally eliminated the slowdown.
    I think it has something to do with DiskMirrorAgent, since that has frozen on me a couple of times and prevented logoff until I force-quit it.
    'Hope this helps.

    Hi Matt,
    One can always manually mount the iDisk when needed, and it still syncs, albeit in real time, and kind of herky-jerky.
    As for the slowdown when multiple items are mounted, I believe I'm describing a different issue, related to DiskMirrorAgent. If and when you get this slowdown (with desktop iDisk syncing enabled), check Activity Monitor, and you'll see DiskMirrrorAgent sucking up most of the CPU time for the time it takes before the dialog appears. My record time was about 25 seconds.
    As for slow Open and Save As dialogs when multiple items are mounted: I customarily have several external FireWire drives mounted, and often a couple of CDs and/or DVDs (I produce a radio program, and have several optical drives), and I have had no Open or Save As dialog slowdowns since at least 10.3.x, maybe earlier.
    Even when the dialog opens to a directory on a CD that has spun down, the opening time on an Open or Save As dialog is nearly instantaneous for me, suggesting that Mac OS X 10.4.x is doing a good job of caching the data.
    But I hear you about the "old days," when it used to take forever to get a dialog to appear, just because a CD was mounted! Maddening!
