Search in Open dialog don't work. CS6

Hi!
I've just noted that the search-function in the Open dialog does not work proberly. You can't search for filenames.
The problem is only in InDesign CS6.
Any have a solution for that?
Thank you.

What's your OS?
The search function in a dialog would be an OS operation, not controlled by ID, I think.

ICloud and Open Dialog boxes not working

I originally posted a question at Open Dialog boxes have disappeared without results. I have some more information now.
The problem: Open Dialog boxes do not work - they don't show up at all - for apps supported by iCloud. Apps that don't use iCloud work fine.
I've now figured out that the Open Dialog boxes will reappear if I uncheck Documents and Data in the iCloud preferences pane. If I recheck it, then the Open Dialogs for all synced apps stop working. I am unable to correlate when this behavior started to any particular event on my Mac (that is not to say there is not a correlation - I simply can't find one). I have done file permission repairs, deleted com plists and even reinstalled Mountain Lion 10.8.2, all with no change in the behavior. The results of checking/unchecking the Documents and Data box are instant. I can have an app like Preview open or closed, or restart the computer. It does not matter. Checked = no Open Dialog; Unchecked = get Open Dialog (without iCloud option of course).

I appreciate all responses particularly from an "Official Adobe" human being!
Unfortunately, a significant amount of effort has been expended with no joy here.
I have done the following;
(1) examined every plug-in folder for duplicates - None found
(2) deleted the symlinks (aliases) Topaz created referencing their plug-ins in /Library/Application Support
(3) reinstalled the Topaz bundle - no change
(4) Spoke at length with Topaz support and have been assured that all of their plug-ins are CS6 compatible.
(5) Have had the same conversation with Nik regarding their 2 plug-ins - assured that they are compatible.
Frankly I'm stumped here. I've combed my system in everyway I can without any change in PS behavior - on Open it defaults to blank and "Save as" selects the wrong format.
Question for the experts. Would deleting PS completely and then reinstalling make a difference or am I now in uncharted territory and on my own?
Thanks for all assistance,
Robert
Still need to save as TIFF but can't seem to get there.

Search and index functions don't work with merged projects

Until this morning, the search and index functions in my RoboHelp project worked okay; I have one Main project into which I have merged more than three dozen sub-projects. About an hour ago, I created a new sub-project and merged it into the Main project; now, it's as if the topics in my merged projects don't exist.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
Lon

So when you open the merge you see all the content, it is just the search and index not working. This must be merged CHMs as you are talking about a Favourites tab so maybe your other comment is relevant. My understanding of merged CHMs is that you do not want spaces in file names, that could be the problem.

Search in start menu don't work, Windows 7, sp1.

Hi guys!
I have this really annoying problem with my newly install Win7 pro, sp1.
The Start Menu Search doesn't work. All I get are 3 files that look like categories (Programs, Control Panel and Files).
The normal search , in file explorer, works though.
What I've tried so far:
I have enabled search in the Start Menu Settings. In Customize Start Menu I have enabled "Search with public folders" and "Search programs and Control Panel".
I have reset my search indexing several times. I have tried different registry tweaks suggested in forums like these like these:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/cc594db0-dbe8-4255-a259-5c1914318c3d/search-in-start-menu-stopped-working

Non of these suggestions worked for me. I tried importing the registry keys below as suggested by some posts above:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\{ef87b4cb-f2ce-4785-8658-4ca6c63e38c6}]

"PrimaryProperty"="System.StartMenu.Group"
"SortByList"="prop:-System.Search.Rank;-System.DateModified;System.ItemNameDisplay"
"LogicalViewMode"=dword:00000001
This also didn't do anything.
I can't find anything else online that addresses this problem. Now I'm getting a little desperate. I'm no novice when it comes to Windows. I have spoken to seasoned Windows tech support people (not from MS). None of them nor I have ever seen this problem
before. There is very not much help online. Can anybody please help pointing me in the right direction.
Cheers

Hi,
Anything recorded in the event log? You can check the event viewer.
Regarding to the index option you mentioned, verify that the Start Menu is in the list of indexing option, then check the selected location under indexed location of start menu
If possible, I suggest you create a new user account, then copy the old files to the new user profile, please refer to this link

Restore library - I've searched forum, the fixes don't work

My iTunes folder is backed up to Mozy (i.e., in the cloud). After a virus, I reformatted the hard drive, and successfully downloaded all of my files and directory structure. The files are there, but iTunes won't read them.
I read in my forum search that I should hold Shift while starting iTunes, and that gave me a choice of "Choose Library" or "Create Library". I did Choose, navigated to /iTunes and selected the only .ITL file there - iTunes Library.ITL. But iTunes still doesn't read my library. (The .ITL file is suspiciously small -- less than 4 KILObytes. Surely a righteous db file for 2000 tunes would be bigger?)
I went back and selected "Create Library," which just created a new folder with a few files (including a .ITL file less than 4KB, I guess that answers my question).
I've seen suggestions on the forum to go to File > Library > Restore, but there is no such menu item on my iTunes 10. There's a Library submenu for "Back Up to Disk," but not for Restore.
Someone suggested looking for a previous iTunes Library.ITL in the Recycle Bin or in a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries", or something like that. But I can't find any such folder, and there's nothing useful in the Recycle Bin.
Surely there's SOME way to get iTunes to play the files that are already on my computer?

+I found another such file on a different backup drive, it was all of 12KB, I moved it into my current iTunes folder, but the library is still empty.+
Did you move it while itunes was closed? Then do a shift-start of itunes to make sure that's the one being used? iTunes always opens the last ITL file it used, unless you do a shift start or it cannot find the last one used.
You can always re-add all your content and get itunes to play it that way. The ratings and play counts will get reset with this method.
Also, you might want to set Mozy to not interfere with that ITL file. There have been some posts from Carbonite users that Carbonite locks their ITL file and corrupts it or prevents itunes from saving/updating it correctly. If you see various .TMP files in your itunes folder this is probably the case.

When opening my home page or safari icons, they open but they are shaded and don't work, it's like they are frozen. I can tap on google and the keyboard come up but it won't search. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hello,
I am a new Ipad2 user and have a problem that I'm not sure what to do. When I try to open my homepage I created or the Safari icon, it opens fine, but they don't work. The page is shaded, does not scroll and is locked up. I can tap google and a keyboard come up and I can search but the results are shaded and are frozen(does not scroll). Does anybody know whats going on? I appreciate your help.
Thanks

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Image preview in Open dialog window (Photoshop CS6)

Hi
We had a possibility to see images preview in Open File dialog window of Photoshop CS5 but in new CS6 version there is not such possibility. Should I forget about that nice option and use Mini Bridge?

I'm not so sure it was on purpose or not Noel. Especially since it's still there in Illustrator and Indesign. If it weren't for it being in those, I might think it was intentional. Then again, it could very well be Adobe trying really hard to push MiniBridge, which is almost utterly useless. I think they actually made the minibridge WORSE as well. The sizing issues of the thumbnails on that are a pain and minibridge is just plain cumbersome to run. Anyways, besides my many qualms with minibridge itself, and back on the open dialog box thing...I actually watched a youtube video pointing out the same codecs you're talking about and without the PSD functionality, it's pretty useless. I'm a graphic designer, so I don't really use PS for camera image editing and don't mess with those files that the codec helps with. Even if it did, that still isn't very helpful to me. Because at that point, you're pretty much just doing what Bridge/MIniBridge does. However, consider how I, and many other designers in the print field work: At any given point we might have something like 3 different versions of a file; a PSD (with layers to edit), a JPEG (to send to the customer for proofing), and a PDF (for printing). Now, within that customer folder I might have 50+ files of different jobs. Imagine trying to sift through all those thumbnails, scrolling across window upon window, and when you get to the file you're finally looking for, you click it open to just to see that you opened the jpeg instead of the PSD. Now, in LIST view, I can see many more files on one screen and each file type is represented by an icon. So I know the blue icons are Photoshop icons and it's very easy to skim through there and know exactly which file type I'm looking for without peering at extensions. Get what I'm saying? Not that I don't appreciate you trying to help. Just saying, unless any codec can bring back the preview screen....than I don't see a workaround until Adobe flat out FIXES IT. I'm one of those guys that loves to get the newest thing and give it time to work, but if they don't fix it, I might have to call up Adobe and demand a downgrade on my Photoshop to 5.5, cause it really slows my workflow when I have hundreds of files to keep up with, and any new feature in PS CS6 that might have sped up my work is offset by not being able to do such a remedial task as preview my files before opening them.

Searches don't work as PUBLIC user (i.e. not logged on)

Hello world,
We're using Portal 3.0.9.8.1 with Patch 1949492 installed. This is on 8.1.7.2.4 SE Database.
When performing searches as the PUBLIC user (i.e. not logged on) we only get limited returns (often zero) where there should be 100s. Documents that we know exist and that PUBLIC can see, navigate to and open do not appear in the search results.
Logged on this works fine. All documents are Made Public and we have various different categories that they're assigned to. For one Content Area, it never retrieves anything in searches as PUBLIC, despite the fact that it contains a great many PUBLIC items.
Has anybody experienced anything similar? This has never worked on any version of Portal we've had and Oracle Support seem at a loss.
Please help!

Ross,
Hmm.. I suppose you're going to tell me that the quickest way to create a new TAR is on-line at 'metalink.oracle.com'??
This problem is already with support (TAR 2520870.1 - logged 22-Feb-2002), but thus far I've had no results.
I thought perhaps others may have experienced the same problem.
Cheers
Dave Dave
Please persevere with the TAR that you've already raised. I've taken a look at it and there seem to be a couple of issues that you've seen, which could be confusing the issue in the TAR.
The core issue is the one that you've raised in this forum question is why you don't see public results you expect when searching as the public user. This should work exactly as you expect it to.
Support now have one of your content areas so they should be able to determine if there are some specific circumstances which are causing the public items not to be returned.

Make Search bar in "Save/Open" dialog box search in filename only

By default it searches inside files, is there a way to restrict it to filenames?

Not to start it going, no. But you can change it to name only. Type something, anything, in the Search box. When the search gets started you'll notice you have a new line under the toolbar that has
Computer Home "SomeFolder" Save +
With "SomeFolder" probably being either the last folder used in the application, or else the one you have navigated to. Then there is the Save button (although I can't imagine what it would actually be useful for) and the "plus" inside a little circle. Click the + and another line appears, with "Kind: Any"--change to Name in the drop down menu and select which of the usual options you want (Contains, Begins with, etc). BTW, I was just fooling around with it, and discovered that while the Name option works perfectly well, the options for Date Created and Date Modified don't work at all, although Last Opened seems to be OK. Ah well.

Photoshop CS6 File Open Dialog missing Preview ?

Why did Adobe remove the file preview area from the File > Open dialog box? I like having all my file requestors showing Details mode so I need the Preview window when I am navigating, browsing and opening files.
Illustrator CS6 still has a Preview window, granted it only works on AI files, it should be able to preview PDFs and EPS files correctly, let alone all raster formats.

See this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1026436
You're not likely going to get it back, but there are codecs you can add that will ease the pain, and potentially even make other parts of your system work better than they do now for your needs.

Since installing the latest FF version 14.0.1 the search boxes on the home page don't work with google

The normal google page works fine, but the search boxes on the home page (below firefox logo and the one top RH corner) just go nowhere unless you change the search provider using the dropdown, to yahoo or bing etc, in whcih case it searches fine - just won't work with google, which I prefer to use. I have an older version 3.6.13 on another desktop and that still works fine.
Any ideas team?

golden-grace, to answer some of your questions:
* Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported and will no longer be updated for security vulnerabilities or any other updates.
*On resetting '''browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone''': It's normal for the "welcome to Firefox" tab to open and for that preference to revert back to user-set and show Firefox 14.0.1 afterwards.
*On deleting the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and then resetting that preference again: You can open the Profile folder from the Firefox Help -> Troubleshooting Information page. See the [[Profiles]] article for more information.
* On installing new search engines from http://mycroft.mozdev.org that simply adds new search providers to the [[Search Bar|Search Bar]]. It does not install a new search bar. You will still have a single Search Bar and the "normal" Google will still be listed.
Getting back to Google not working from the about:home homepage or from the upper right corner search box, you said,
''the page tab changes to "connecting" and the little circle starts revolving, just as though it is looking for the page as normal and at the bottom of the home page the message appears "waiting for www.google.com"''. You also said in your original post that, ''The normal google page works fine.'' Which normal google page is that?
If you can go to www.google.com directly, and it works fine:
I would try removing Google from the list of search providers and then use the "Restore Defaults" button in the Search Bar "Manage Search Engine List" dialog to add it back to the list, then select it again as your default. The [[Search Bar|Search Bar]] article explains in detail how to do that. (Alternately, try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset] add-on. This should also add back Google and set it as the default.)
If you try going to www.google.com but it never connects, that's a whole other issue. Putting that aside for now, if you would rather use google.co.uk from the Search Bar, you can install it <u>as an additional choice from the Search Bar drop-down menu</u>, by going here:
* http://mycroft.mozdev.org/google-search-plugins.html ... where it's listed as '''''Google UK - the Web (google.co.uk) by Mycroft Project'''''. (You will still have a single Search Bar and the "normal" Google will still be listed.)
If you try going to www.google.com but it never connects, you could troubleshoot that by following the [[Basic Troubleshooting]] article (I would start with clearing cookies and cache) but all of these steps may be frustrating for you. Another option is to simply reset Firefox (which saves your bookmarks, passwords, and some other essential data) to see if that resolves the problem. You can do that from the Firefox Help -> [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/provide-detailed-information-for-firfox-issues#w_accessing-the-troubleshooting-information-page Troubleshooting Information page]. For details, read the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article. You can then go to http://mycroft.mozdev.org/google-search-plugins.html and select your preferred Google search engine to use from the Search Bar.

Search field in Open dialog will not find pages documents but will find identical Microsoft word documents

This is a new one. Problem seen on iMac and Mac Pro.
1) Create a new Pages document (newest version).
2) Save to the Desktop
3) Export as MS Word document with the same identical name
4) Close the Pages documents
5) Quit Pages
6) Open Pages
7) Choose File : Open
8) In the search field in the upper right corner of Open dialog. Enter the name of the document just saved.
9) Only the MS Word document is listed. the Pages document is not shown, even when Filename contains is selected
If anyone knows how to fix this problem. please comment on this request.
thanks

thanks for testing. I do realize that the two test files will show up in the Open dialog as it opens to the Desktop folder. But what happens if it opens up in another folder and you need to locate a Pages file where you don't know the location, you remember the name. You would go to the search field in the upper right corner of the Open dialog and enter the name. In the Open dialog, the name would be listed and you can choose the one to open. In my tests, the search field would only show the MS Word document, not the Pages i.e. only one would be listed not two. Also, Filenames is an option that does appear in the search field in the Pages Open dialog.
The examples files I created are called "This is a test". The content of the file is "This is a test" (without the quotes in both). the search field in the Open dialog is suppose to locate the text in the documents if enclosed in quotes which it does for the Word document but still will not find the pages document. You can click Filenames while entering in the search field and the same occurs, only locates the Word doc, not the Pages doc.
thanks again

Bookmarks don't work if your bookmark is in a folder, it just doesn't open the folder which has the bookmarks in, though the bookmarks can be accessed through the bookmark manager. Sup?

Bookmark folders don't work, and I can't click the give feedback button, fresh install of FF.

I do and I can't add folders or bookmarks.. And it's pretty hard to set a default theme when I have nothing in addons, extensions, appearance, plugins.
The problem seems to appear(bookmark problem) when I click a folder for the first time, it works perfectly but then when I move my cursor to other folder or just open a new one, it bugs.
Ok, even though you said don't select anything else right now, I selected the disable all addons and now it works perfectly, so when the Firefox 4 Beta 7 was installed it enabled all addons even the ones that aren't compatible with it and that is why I got the problem, maybe change that feature off in the .exe package?
