Script to open the Open Dialog Window

Hello everyone!
I'm new to scripting and this is probably an easy question but I'm trying to write a script that opens the Open Dialog Window. Basically I need to start the script in one active document, have the script open the Open Dialog (to let the user select another image) and then finish the script in the newly opened document. Every script I find is to open a specific file, but I need it to be User Selected through the Open Dialog of Photoshop.
I hope that makes sense! LOL. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Bradi

Is this also possible to simply open the "Find and Replace" dialog in Illustrator & then close it?
No need to do anything with "Find and Replace" just want to open it then have it close to avoid an Illustrator bug.

  • When printing Firefox does not open the Print Dialog window

    When printing at our office we often need to print to multiple printers and not just the default printer. When printing in Firefox, however, the print automatically gets sent to the default printer and I do not get a print dialog window. I have reset Firefox's printer options, changed the prefs.js file, and launched Firefox from safe mode to check if an add-on is affecting printing - all to no avail. When I print from Chrome, or (shudder) Internet Explorer I get a dialog box giving me printer options. Your help and responses will be appreciated.

    There is a hidden preference to bypass the dialog, but it definitely is not set by default. To check for that:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''print.''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) If you discover a preference named '''print.always_print_silent''' there's your trouble.
    Next question would be, where did it come from?! Some possibilities:
    (A) A user.js file that overrides prefs.js at startup. See: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    (B) A lock file in the program folder. See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences

  • Some qt only programs are crashing opening the "Open File" dialog

    Hello Archers,
    I'm having some trouble to find out what's crausing the crashes, so i can properly fill a bug report upstream.
    Here is the issue:
    * After an upgrade from glibc 2.13-5 to glibc 2.14-4, some qt-only apps are crashing when i open the "Open File" dialog. This only happens when using specific KDE 4.6.4 or KDE 4.6.5 styles, like Oxygen and QtCurve.
    * Before i upgrade KDE from 4.6.4 to 4.6.5, i downgraded glibc and its dependencies to glibc 2.13-5 and the bug was gone. After upgrading KDE to 4.6.5, i didn't try the downgrade again because KDE 4.6.5 requires glibc 2.14 and the process of downgrading become unsustainable.
    * I tried removing the crashing apps data from my home directory and the crash still exists. I also tried to create a new user and start the apps from that new environment and the apps crashes, so the bug is not user-specific.
    * I tried replacing the binary nvidia driver with xf86-video-nouveau but the issue persists.
    * The apps crashing (and not applying the kde theme) are the following:
    => opera 11.50
    When opening the "Open File" dialog, it crashes with the following message:
    ------------- begin ---------------------------------
    $ opera --sync
    (operapluginwrapper:2349): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x7400034 unexpectedly destroyed
    (operapluginwrapper:2349): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x7400033 unexpectedly destroyed
    (operapluginwrapper:2349): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x7400032 unexpectedly destroyed
    (operapluginwrapper:2349): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x740001c unexpectedly destroyed
    The program 'operapluginwrapper' received an X Window System error.
    This probably reflects a bug in the program.
    The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
      (Details: serial 547 error_code 3 request_code 18 minor_code 0)
      (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
       that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
       To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
       option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
       backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
    ------------- end ---------------------------------
    => vlc 1.1.10
    When opening the "Open Directory" dialog, it crashes with the following message:
    ------------- begin ---------------------------------
    $ vlc
    VLC media player 1.1.10 The Luggage (revision exported)
    Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_ADDRESS")

    Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")
    Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")
    Segmentation fault
    ------------- end ---------------------------------
    * Using other qt-only apps, like qmmp or UMPlayer the bug doesn't occur.
    So, what do you thing of this? Am i the only one with this issue? I already reported the bug report on https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24991 and https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/, but since i latter found out that this is not opera specific, i don't know where to fill the report. 
    Thanks in advance.

    i had to install vlc and opera to test - but i'm afraid i don't get the errors you are seeing.
    so far, qt designer is the only application i've found that crashes when opening file dialogs.
    Ok, thanks for helping.

  • How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

    How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
    I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
    pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
    It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the
    "Combine Supported Files in Acrobat" window would open in the
    foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
    I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
    If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
    I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
    be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.
    Michael Jones

    Something that works  (provides Acrobat the application precedence in the OS that is requisite for this) --
    Minimize the 10 or so application windows before engaging use of Acrobat's "combine".
    That'll let the Acrobat dialog windows display front and center.
    Be well...

  • How do I fix that at startup, restart Mavericks 10.9.2 always opens the system preference window?

    How do I fix that at startup, restart Mavericks 10.9.2 always opens the system preference window?
    It is not listed in Login items. I tried all the usual fixes plus Diskwarrior rebuild.
                                                                                                                                    W.W.

    I suggest deleting the Canon Network Scanner from Login Items to determine if that is the cause. Not knowing exactly what it does, I suspect it is intended to monitor the printer's supply levels all the time. It's not necessary to do that. You can always determine the printer's ink supply level every time you print something, when its Print dialog appears. You can also check its supply levels by opening System Preferences on your own, and selecting Printers & Scanners.
    Bear in mind Login Items is simply a convenience that loads the programs you specify every time you log in. That feature is less important as it had been in the past since Mavericks will re-open everything that was open when you last logged out, if you select this checkbox:
    If you want to add the Adobe programs to Login Items again, search for them using Spotlight. The Adobe programs themselves should not be causing this behavior.

  • I can not open the breakpoint dialog in upper right next to plus sign.

    EDIT: After more digging into the issue, I found out that the trick is to click AND HOLD on the upside triangle to access the breakpoint dialog box. See link --> Adobe Edge Reflow Team Blog | Q & A From “Talk To The Team”
    I can not open the breakpoint dialog in upper right next to plus sign. I click on the downward triangle with no success. Is there a trick to getting this to open? Or better yet, is there a hotkey?
    Thank you for your help-

    Within Photoshop go to the "About Plug-in…" menu item just below "About Photoshop" to find the Camera Raw version number.  On which menu that is depends on your platform, Macintosh or Windows, which you neglected to mention.
    Raw files from your camera have been supported since version 2.0 of Camera Raw for years and years, so it's not a question of your version of ACR.  Any version of ACR that runs in CS5 should open those files.
    I suspect your raw files are damaged (corrupted).

  • How to force the Netscape Browser to open the "Open or Save" dialog box?

    Hi, I tried to force the browser to open the "Open or Save" dailog box for downloading a file.
    response.setContentType(context.getMimeType(file.getName()));
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + file.getName() + "\"");
    This works fine with IE for all file types( Even though he prompts twice to Open the file directly). but Netscape opens the file directly in the browser with showing any dialog box for text and html files. Anyone knows how to force the netscape in this case or for any file type? Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    any one has the solution for this issue ? I tried the search and I didnt find any answer.
    when your trying to open a pdf file as attachment is seperate window, it works well in IE but in netscape it opens up in the same browser, it doesnt open a seperate window
    res.setContentType( "application/pdf" );
    res.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\"" + cofcFileName+"\"");

  • "An error occurred while opening the file dialog. Please save your presentation, exit, and restart PowerPoint."

    In PowerPoint 2013 on Windows 7 - 64 bit, when
    File / Save as is selected, an error message comes up stating, "An error occurred while opening the file dialog. Please save your presentation, exit, and restart PowerPoint." This is an intermittent issue and also
    affects Excel 2013. I have tried repairing it, done windows update and also uninstalled and reinstalled but no luck. I have researched this issue but it relates to Office 2007 and 2010 and the resolution does not support 2013.
    Has anyone come across this issue? If so how did you resolve it?
    Many thanks….

    Hi,
    You mentioned you tried some steps but I'm not sure what they are, you may try my suggestion to resolve this issue, follow these steps:
    Click Start, right-click Computer, click
    Properties, and then click Advanced system settings.
    On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
    Locate and select the __COMPAT_LAYER variable, and then click Edit.
    Set the value of the __COMPAT_LAYER variable to EnableThemes. Or, delete the __COMPAT_LAYER variable.
    If the issue persists, we can troubleshoot this problem in Clean Boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with PowerPoint:

  • How can I get CTRL-F to open the find dialog?

    I am using Firefox V36.0.4 and when I am on the catalog site of mydoitbest.com and I press the CTRL+F to open the find dialog and it doesn't work. I contacted the authors of the site and they said:
    "This is a quirk in Firefox actually, not our site. You need to either click at the top of the browser (in some blank area, like below the address bar) before pressing Ctrl+F or press Ctrl+F twice for the search bar to come up in the lower left corner. We updated our Firefox to your recent version and had the same result. If you click the top of the browser first or press Ctrl+F twice that will bring the search bar up."
    I'm not sure I believe them... This is the only site that has the problem. I have tried Firefox in Safe Mode, it still doesn't work. I believe they are doing something to capture the <CTRL> key because when I press CTRL+Left Mouse Click on a link it should open a the link on a new <TAB>, but instead just opens the link in the same <TAB>.
    Has anybody else reported a problem with Firefox? Any other ideas or any way for me to check the source for the page to see if they are doing something wrong?
    Thanks, Keith

    Hi, thanks for the reply.
    No, that doesn't fix the problem.
    I've done some programming and have been checking out their site. They are trapping the keys so the first time I press <CTRL-F> it puts a lower case "f" in their search box. If I press <CTRL-F> again the search dialog box does open. If I click on their search box first with the mouse, then press <CTRL-F> it works as it should.
    I guess I'll have to live with it, because they don't seem interested in correcting their problem.
    Thanks, Keith

    Hi ,
    I guess that was a bug in that version .
    It does not happen in Acrobat XI and Acrobat DC .The window comes right in front of everything else .
    I wonder that was a bug and that was fixed the other versions.
    You could upgrade to the latest Acrobat version ,i.e Acrobat DC and you would not experience this anymore .

    This may be because the file does not exist , is not an MMC console , or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file.

    Hi,
         I also have Reader 10.1.2 installed on my machine and I also cannot open a link in the PDF, that will eventually call an exe file. I don't think that there would be different behaviour on your machine. So, I think, now this is the expected behaviour Reader 10.1.2 onwards.

    Hi,
    Looks like your mmc dll is corrupted, with your install and uninstall of software.
    Two Options:
    1. Upgrade the Kernel with latest Patch level, which comes with new SAPMMC.dll file
    OR
    2. Just download the SAPMMC*.sar file from service market place and extract in exe directory, since it is windows re-booting the server doesn't hurt.
    Hope this helps. points are welcome.
