Server to client redirection for certain file type (2012)

Hi,
I am trying out Windows server 2012.
I am testing RemoteApp through Remote Desktop Services.
The app I'm using for my my tests is Dynamics GP10's client.
So far, it is working like a charm.
We have a plugin installed to easily generate lists (SmartList)
It enables users to export lists to excel. (It creates an excel file and tries to open it)
Question:
I would like to transfer generated excel files back to the remote connected client so it can be opened by it's local installation of excel.
Typically, doing something similar to redirecting print job back to the client's own printer.
Is there a way to do that?
I searched and found interesting information but still no easy way to do it.
I find lots of article about Citrix and XenApp that maybe able to do that.
Of course, I could install MS Office on the server but all my clients already have OEM versions of Office installed so we don't want to spend more money for additional Office licenses.
I did something similar long ago with a virtual Windows XP installation using vmware on a Mac OSXcomputer.
And with vmware, in that particular situation, it was very easily done.
Question:
It may be possible to do that with a script using commands ASSOC and/or FTYPE.
I read the help page explaining ASSOC and FTYPE syntax. But I'm not capable to figure out what to write to accomplish my goal.
So, if it can be done this way, is there anyone who could help me with how to build such a scrip?
Thank you

Hi,
There is no built-in feature to automatically have a file opened on the client PC. You could train the users to save the file on their local computer's drive using the drive redirection feature, and then manually open it on their local machine.
There is a free third-party tool that may meet your needs. Please take a look:
Remote Executer for Terminal Server
http://www.mqtechnologies.com/en/TSRemoteExec.aspx
Also, if possible I would recommend you use Server 2012 R2 to take advantage of the RemoteApp improvements, shadowing, protocol enhancements, etc.
Thanks.

Dreamweaver CS6 displaying the wrong icon for certain file types

I recently upgraded to the Maverick and I noticed that my Dreamweaver changed some of my files' icon to Acrobat Reader symbol. This does not represent the actual file type. My most important files, such as mp3 and m4v, are not displaying correctly. My concern is that it is affecting my website. How do I change the icons back to the original file type icons? Much needed help! Thanks!

What do local file associations have to do with your website? You have a severely wrong understanding of this stuff. Anyway, file associations on Mac can be changed using a right-click and Get Info and then choosing a new default program for the file type.

Can't set plugins (like Quicktime, to be run in FF) for certain file types

When I go to the application tab in options, I don't have the option to select a plugin for certain files - I'm trying to get Quicktime to open mp3s in Firefox, I know it can, it use to do that on my old computer, but Firefox doesn't give me the option - I see it listed for other files, but it doesn't appear for this one.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Still more data. iTunes on the Vista machine will still not allow me to change the location of the iTunes Folder with the Browse button. It acts like the network doesn't exist.
But, surprisingly, if I go to File-Add File to Library, the network appears! Even stranger, File-Add Folder to Library, the network does NOT appear.
Again, the network is clearly operationaly, and iTunes can even see the network in the Add File menu, but refuses to see it in the Advanced menu or Add Folder.
It's not that Apple doesn't want me to be able to do this, because all of my XP machines running 7.6 do this flawlessly. There is clearly some bug between 7.6 and Vista.
Rummaging around the forums convinces me that this is a pretty common problem, but I haven't found an answer yet.
Thanks for any help,

Windows Media Player has somehow made itself the dealt video player for certain file types?

Title should say default
I have Windows 7 installed in a virtual machine but I didn't think Windows Media Player would barge it's way onto my Mac and start making itself the default player for files here too -.- I even right clicked on the file, click open with.. chose vlc and checked the change all box. This worked and now when I double click the file it will open with vlc, but when I right click it, it still says that Windows Media Player is still the default player for this file type.

Don't know much about WMPlayer, but if FCE has multiple audio tracks a "MIX Down Audio" should be done just prior to the export.

HT2531 Spotlight won't open finder for certain file types

I had Evernote installed a year or so back and used it for a short while. Then I started using springpad and deleted Evernote from my Mac.
Ever since, old notes have shown in spotlight, but CMD+Click wouldn't reveal them in finder. I've re-installed Evernote to try and help the situtaion, but alas, the old notes are still indexed (not merged from wherever they're hiding as I'd hoped).
I've re-indexed the Mac, (exclude HDD from spotlight under system preferences and then re-indexed) but they've re-indexed again. So they must be actual files somewhere.
Example, I have an old note called 'expenses address'.
Finder won't find 'expenses address' but Spotlight does. CMD+ click opens evernote... but not the note.
The quickpreview from spotlight shows exenses address as p36.ennote (in the quick preview), but again, finder won't find that either (p36.ennote). I've used terminal to show all file types, but still no joy with either search.
I've dug around in the User>LIbrary>Application support, found the evernote folder, but it's not in there either.
I've also had a poke around HDD>Library>Application support, but evernote doesn't seem to save data there either.
I share my iTunes folder with another user on my Mac and my Apps are backed up from my Iphone and iPad, but the evernote app isn't one of them.
I'm at a loss with regards to where these msytery files could be.
Any advice?

Not sure if this helps, but this is how a 're-indexed' file shows up in Spotlight, but finder won't locate it and CMD+click won't either.

Spotlight does not find files with "_" (underscores), but only for certain file types

Hey Folks,
this is strange, maybe someone has an idea.
I already searched the internet for a while, nothing found so far.
I have a file "calc_mean.m" on my desktop.
When I type "calc" in spotlight, it shows the file.
But when I type "calc_" it suddenly does not show the file anymore. Nor does find the file, when I enter "calc_mean.m" in spotlight.
When I enter "calc mean.m" in spotlight, it finds it (using space instead of the underscore).
Now comes the real surprise:
When I rename the file to "calc_mean.txt", spotlight suddenly DOES find the file when entering "calc_mean.txt".
I recreated this "feature" with other files, copying and renaming ".txt" files to ".m" files, and if there's a underscore in the file, spotlight wont find it.
Playing around a bit more, it seems spotlight does find files with underscore when they are documents, at least it works for the following extensions:
.pdf
.doc
.txt
.xls
But these extensions for example do not work:
.mp3
.m
.k
.a
.ka
(and other random endings I tried).
I am pretty confused. Sure it's no big deal learning to search for files that include underscores in their name using space instead. But I'm still quite puzzled. Any idea?

All of those have meaning in various database search syntax (not sure if it matters).
_ usually means any character.
% usually means any run of characters.
- is often used to negate what comes next, i.e. "don't include results that have the following text."
I don't see any problem on my Mac, though.
I also don't have any problem finding file names with those accented characters using Spotlight. I would suggest reindexing Spotlight, but if cmd-f finds them, I'm not sure that would help.

Error opening files on a server "Application is missing" for every file type

Hello,
I have got quite a strange problem with Maverick and a server (Isilon NAS).
When we connect to this server, with SMB or CIFS, it's impossible to open a file because "The application is missing". They are .PDF or .XLSX files mainly, so nothing exotic.
If we copy those files locally we are able to open them. The problem is only happening on two new MacBook Pro, we have roughly 40 other various Macs without this bug.
It's possible to "fix" the problem temporary by connecting to the same server, but on another share : smb://my_server/one_share -> "The application is missing", smb://my_server/another_share -> Working as expected. But next time "another_share" won't work, but "one_share" will...
We tried to troubleshoot the problem but it looks like a really rare bug, we are going to install the Combo Updates to see if it helps.
Any suggestion or idea is welcomed.
Have a nice day

Hi
Did you try some steps given in the following article
"Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect" Warning Message
See if that helps. Do let me know if you have any question.

Return The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden error for some file types

hi

it is returning "The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden error for some file types" Error.how can i get rid of this.please help me
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
It seems there is something wrong with your code, from your code the account and key are the same, because their appsetting name are the same.
string account = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StorageAccountName"];
//string account = CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("StorageAccountName");
//string key = CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("StorageAccountAccessKey");
string key = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StorageAccountName"];
string connectionString = String.Format("DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName={0};AccountKey={1}", account, key);
return CloudStorageAccount.Parse(connectionString);
If you use CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting, please consider set azure project as the startup project, if not, this value will be null, this resulted in solution being started as a web project that didn't run inside the Azure emulator. Since CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting
tries to get setting by contacting Azure (or Azure emulator in this case), and it is not running, it returns null.

Can I exclude certain file types in the Photo Downloader?

Hi there!
I am very new here, so please do correct me on etiquette and if I'm doing something wrong. I've been searching the web for quite a while now but couldn't find an answer or even questions concerning this problem...
I like using Bridge's Photo Downloader, for the nice renaming and other options it gives me. Usually I want to download all images from a card and then delete them on the card. The problem I am having is that Photo Downloader will not only see images (like .JPG, .CR2 or .ARW) but camera database files and settings (.INT, .BDM, .BIN, ...). This is annoying, since I neither want them stored on my hard drive nor deleted on my card. I also would like to import movies in a different way. The way I can work around this now is that I manually deselect all non-images in the Advanced Dialog and then only download these. But I was hoping that there is a more elegant and automatic way to just exclude certain file types from automatic selection. Or even just a way to mark or unmark the images by file type. This should be very easy to implement and I am really curious if I am missing something obvious here or if this is just not possible yet.
Has anyone else thought this before? Or are you all using different methods to import images from your card reader?
Any help or comment is appreciated.

Sorry, download history is either on or off. There is no preference setting to exclude specific file types.

WRT610N certain file types have wrong time stamp

Hi, I have searched this forum for a similar problem with no luck - so here goes...
I have a WRT610N router using the latest firmware 1.00.03 B15. After upgrading the firmware I reset router for 30 sec., and then powerdown for 30 sec. as I have read on this forum, and yes the USB drive was disconnected before hand, but I still have this problem when creating/saving certain file types on the USB drive attached to the router.
I have discovered that MS Word and PowerPoint files (.doc & .ppt) are saved with the correct date and time, but MS Excel, Notepad, and HTML files (.xls, .txt, and .mht) are saved with a time stamp that is one hour later!!! There may be other file types that are affected by this as well.
Example: I create/save a Word file and also an Excel file at 1:00 PM, When I use Windows Explorer to view the details of the files on the USB drive, the Word file has a timestamp of 1:00 PM, but the Excel file has a timestamp of 2:00 PM (in the future). All other functions on the router seem to be OK.
If I create these five file types on the C: drive they all have the same timestamps, I also have a Netgear SC101 NAS which shows the correct timestamps. I only have this problem when using the USB drive connected to the WRT610N. I tried this on 3 different computers - all have the same issue.
This may seem like a minor issue, but Im using SmartSync Pro to back up all the drives on the LAN and it uses the file's timestamp to determine if it should be backedup or not. So Im concerned that backups may not be done properly, or God knows what it will do with files from the future!
Im using WinXP SP3, the USB drive is a WD2500BEVS - 250GB with 4 partitions (largest is 120GB) all formatted as NTFS.
I would appreciate it if others would try this and post their results here so I would know whether to bug Linksys for a fix, or if I have problems elsewhere in my configuration. Thank you.

Well, 15 days, 40 views, 0 replies.
Could one kind sole, just one, please; startup Notepad, save an empty .txt file to the USB drive on the router, and then let me know if the file had the correct time stamp?
Preferably someone with a ver 1 router, firmware 1.00.03 B15, and running WinXP SP3.
Thanks in advance.

Premiere Pro CS5 crashing when exporting (only certain file types)

Hi
I have found that when I try and export media in Premiere Pro CS5, it often crashes during the export. It says
It's only certain file types. For instance, Vimeo HD seems okay but Vimeo SD always crashes mid-export. MPEG is okay too, but MPEG2-DVD always crashes.
Sometimes it says this: "Error Compiling Movie - Unknown Error" but doesn't throw me out of Premiere altogether.
Other times it crashes altogether and Windows gives me this error message: "Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 258.96 stopped responding and has successfully recovered". Premiere Pro then stops responding so I have to re-open it and start exporting again.
I have checked there are no gaps in my timeline and I have rendered the whole work area. Besides, I doubt it's anything that I'm doing wrong with the project itself because it's exporting fine in some formats.
I am also experiencing random crashes when editing too. Not that often, but occasionally it throws me out - and twice it has made the whole screen go crazy, with weird dotting across the screen (it's scary, it looks like the monitor itself has broken!).
Any help would be appreciated!
Nick
PS I have a pretty decent new PC - Dell Studio XPS, 8GB, 2x1TB drives, etc. Premiere itself is working great, except for these crashes.

Some drivers do not work well in some systems... so go to nVidia and try a different (usually newer) driver for your card
These notes are for Encore, but they MAY also work in Premiere

Unable to stop Quicktime from playing certain file types

Recently, Quicktime has begun to insist on playing certain file types accessed via Web Browser. I work at a radio station and we have to be able to import certain audio from the web into our own player/editing software.
I have it set in the preferences that Quicktime not play any audio files.
We have had to restrict the installation of Quicktime on our systems.
Anyone know when Quicktime will allow us to really set preferences again?

Each user account can set their own preferences for QuickTime browser playback.
QuickTime Control Panel/Advanced/MIME Settings allow you to change those that will open via the QT browser plug-in.
If your page code is "sloppy" and you directly link to the audio files then you may get a wide vary of responses from the viewing browser. Some users will download the file while others may get a QuickTime playback in a "new" window.
Post a link to your page and we can view the page source code and help you with a solution.

Cannot Share Certain File Types...

I recently uploaded a MP4 file that I wanted to share with a friend. The video is mine from my camera with basic editing in Premier. I uploaded this and then I see “You cannot share this file type.”
After a looking through the other forums I came across this thread that says we cannot share video, music, and fonts. Hmmm....
There is this sentence on the Creative Cloud Website:
“When you're connected, you can do even more with Creative Cloud, thanks to online services for file sharing, collaborating, and publishing websites and documents.”
Let us imagine:
I am a Video Professional who uses Premier to edit videos and the above blurb excites me. I sign up and make3 the most awesome video of my career. ( dream frequently) I do a bit of editing, viola! A finished project Time to share with my friend so they can confirm I'm a genius, okay? Since I have a website with Business Catalyst using the Creative Cloud I will put it there. Oh wait, BC cannot handle a file over 100mb and my Video is a few hundred megabytes. Well, I have Creative Cloud Storage online and it allows for sharing, wonderful! I upload the video, no issue, then go to share the video. WAIT! What is this? I cannot share a file that I CREATED? Why Not?
I can understand not wanting to get in trouble due to copyright law but you are a company that produces a program specifically for video editing (let us not forget Audition for Music/Audio editing.) I believed the pitch about Creative Cloud for professionals so they can create files and collaborate with anyone from anywhere. Yet there is that footnote: you cannot share video, music, or fonts. ?!?!?!? This is very limiting. If there are legal reasons why you cannot share the file types then say so. With MP4 there is a patent on the codec, and so we cannot share these files(?) but we can create them using Adobe Programs.
No worries I'll just zip my files to have my genius confirmed or denied.
Adobe, I would like to understand the reason for the block on allowing certain file types to be shared. With the disallowing of certain file types you severally limit the value of the Cloud. Also where is the list of blocked file types? Why did I have to find out the hard way that I cannot share videos? I cannot find a list or even a statement that those files are not allowed to be shared (other than a forum thread which is not the typical place those shopping for the service offered, would look).
Thank You, I think I need a chocolate bar now.

Agreed Lynda.
There seems to be certain promises, which may give false impressions, in Adobe's marketing copy for the Cloud. Limitations of the Cloud are barely, if at all, mentioned,
I hope it's made a little more accurate one day.

It should be possible to set default behavior for all file types

It should be possible to set a default action for all file types. I'm so tired of having to manually sit and say "save this file" because Firefail always defaults to "open with" and has disabled the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on."
And spare me the zealotry religious excuses for why its the fault of websites and not Firefail
''edited to remove swearing''

I do want users to have full control to be able to set any folder view they want by using Apply to Folders; I just want to set the initial/default view to Detail because that matches what the majority of my users want.
That is, what registry setting changes when I go to a picture folder, change the view to Detail, and click Apply to Folders? Having done that, I still retain the ability to change it to some other view and apply that to folders. But what registry setting
represents the change I just made when applying Detail view to all Picture folders.?
This settings is simple via GUI, but it is related a lot of registry keys, I made a test in my machine, capture the "Apply to Folders" process using Regshot tool (this is a small tool which can compare the regsitry changes after you change some
settings), and this is the result:
this is part of the registry changes, a plenty of registry keys and values need to be changed. hard to list them here. if you have interests, I recommend the tool Regshot, it can help you capture the regsitry changes.
