Set dialog box to open directories in "Details" view by default

Hi,
Is there a (natvie LabVIEW) way to set dialog boxes (file select, file save etc.) to open the folders in "Details" view by default, or is it necessary to make calls to the win API?
Thanks,
Chris

smercurio_fc ,

When I try to add an RSS or Atom feed, I get a dialog box with Open or Save instead of adding the feed to NewsFox like it used to do.

With Firefox 4.x, when I added a feed, it would open NewsFox in a new tab, and bring up a dialog box with info about that feed. I would click on "test this feed" and it would put all available items into NewsFox. Now, I get this dialog box with Open or Save. If I click on Open (declaring Firefox as the preferred app), then it opens the feed itself, it doesn't add it to NewsFox. I've tried going into Options and about:config but don't see anything to change that would fix this problem. I tried Search in Firefox Help but no relevant threads came up.

Thanks Cor-El. I already have it set to "Use NewsFox." I'm stumped.

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size? I would like them to open at the size they were previously resized like they used to in previous operating systems. They currently open at a very small size and the first colum is only a few letters wide necessitating a resize practically every time one wants to use it. Any help would be appreciated.

Camera Raw Dialog box not opening automatically

When I try to open a raw image in photoshop CS3 for some reason the camera raw plugin dialog box is not automatically opening and I get a message that says "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file" I know I am missing something simple but how do i get the dialog box to open?

You need to make sure that the specific camera model is supported by the version of the ACR plug-in you have installed on your machine.
The current version of ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) is ACR 4.5 and there is also ACR 4.6beta.
What version are you running and what camera generated your raw files?

How to know a dialog box is opened?

Hi friends
I am developing a VI which automatically opens a URL. As soon as URL opens, it displays a dialog box for entering password. But we don't know when this dialog box opens. How to detect that the dialog box is opened so that I can paste the password?

How is this URL opened? Does a browser open up, or do you have a browser embedded on your VI's front panel via ActiveX (assuming you're on Windows)? If you're not on Windows, which OS are you running? If you are running on Windows then you can use the Windows API to check if a window exists. You can get them in several locations on the NI site. Here's one place.

Why does it take so long for the Open, Save, or Save As Dialog Boxes to Open?

I'm having a problem throught CS6 with the Open, Save, or Save As dialog boxes not opening for a period of time after clicking on the desired functions. It can take over a minute just to get the Open dialog box up to browse for a file. Eventually, the dialog boxes open, but during the time that it's trying to open, the program is unresponsive. It is happening with all of my CS6 programs. I have unistalled and reinstalled with no fix. The programs are updated. Anyone else having this trouble? Any solutions?

Thanks for your response. The system is a Windows 7 64-bit system with 4GB RAM installed. I am not trying to save anywhere in particular. By default, it would open to the user's documents, and does eventually, but it currently just sits for about a full minute before doing anything. This machine was saving properly when CS6 was first installed about 5 months ago.
I've checked for unconnected network drives. I've also renamed the Illustrator preferences file based on a reccomendation that I found elsewhere. However, neither of these helped.
I can provide screenshots or anything else that's needed.

Dialog box to Select Directories...

Hi,
I need to develop a Java tool where you have an option for the customer to select a directory in which a group of files wiil be saved. To implement this, when I invoked the JFileChooser.SAVE_DIALOG and set the filter to display only directories, it opens the same Dialog to save FILES ??? (JDK Version : 1.4 OS:MS-Windows 2000). In the Dialog box. there is a Label which says "File Name: "
This is misleading and confusing to the customer, who maybe a novice when it comes to computers. Hence this issue has come up and I need to fix this. I came up with alternate solutions like popping a confirmation box etc.. but the customer doesnt want to see the default dialog box as it is very confusing.
I wish I could show you the snapshot which highlights this problem, to make the problem clear, but that is not possible.
I browsed the net with little help. Please tell me what is the best way to go about this as I have no clue of where to go from here?

I'm not going to write code for you? Is this for your
job? Do you want to get paid for something I do?
Why don't you write the code? When you find a problem
or a bug you can't resolve, then ask a question
here.
Please Sir,
None of the questions that I have raised here were EVER directed to you or anyone in particular. This is an open forum and if you are not willing to share your hardwork, its fine...
.....and by the way, it never should be the question of your code and my code. Its not that I cant write code for it...its just that I dont believe in re-inventing the wheel.
I know that this is a known limitation in Java and someone must have spent a lot of time and energy on this dialog...no use if everyone broke thier heads on the same problem...
...and that is the very idea behind creating such public forums....so that people communicate and share instead of re-inventing the wheel.

On a MBP with Mavericks how do I get the Save As dialog box to open at the same size and place at which it was last closed and used to happen before Mavericks?

Before I upgraded my MBP to Mavericks, the Save As dialog box would reopen at the same size and position as it was when last closed. Now with Mavericks it always opens in the same position at a very small size. Is there a way to make it reopen at the last place and size at which it was closed?

I have resolved the issues presented without having to find and uninstall the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 in order to get "Adobe Flash Player 10" playback of .swf files on my computer. When I begin this task, I expected to download an "Adobe Flash Player 10" as a player program download instead of the Internet Explorer and Firefox plugin that it appears to be.
This is what I did and what I believe I have:
1. I setup Internet Explorer 6 as my default browser and then used the following site to download Adobe Flash Player 10
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
2. As I had done before (and also suggested in another thread here), I went to Tools/Manage Add Ons and found Shockwave Flash Object, highlighted it, and clicked on Update Active X. Next, what I did not do before, I restarted the computer immediately after that.
3. Next, I set Mozilla Firefox as my default browser and then used the above site to download Adobe Flash Player 10 again.
4. With Firefox, the critical step included Firefox Tools/Options/Content with File Types (Configure how Firefox handles certain types of files) and the Manage Tab there. SWF Shockware Flash Object/Change Action/and dotting "use this plugin" - Shockwave Flash, followed by a computer restart got the job done.
Now, if I want playback of a .swf file, I can
a. Open With Internet Explorer (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
b. Open With Mozilla Firefox (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
c. Open With Macromedia Flash Player 8.0
I am satisfied with those results for my use. Any additional comments on the player vs plugin aspect of the matter would be interesting and helpful.

How to avoid the dialog box "SAVE, Open, Cancel" When we take a pdf print.

I have an item entry form. User select different items and then submit the order by pressing submit button.
I want that when the user click the submit button he is directet to the print preview page. I have done that and it is running fine but the issue is when user click on the submit button the dialog box appear showing file name and an option to save or open the file. I want to avoid that dialog box and I want that the file is opened directly.
In shot I want that the user goes directly to the open file option instead of giving him the options.
Thx,

Hello Syed,
I thought this is a browser behavior. In Firefox it asks the first time what I want to do.
If I select open and select the checkbox to do that always like that, it's opening directly.
I searched a bit in javascript, use an iframe or specify different targets, the behavior is the same, unless I check the checkbox I get the dialog box. Maybe there's a workaround, but I didn't find that yet.
Regards,
Dimitri

I can't open an .ai file in Illustrator without a dialog box appearing "Open PDF." I have no idea what I can't open it as an Illustrator file (and not a PDF)

Once I open a page as a PDF, all my layer info is lost. I've tried opening it on two machines and the dialog box continues to appear. Again, it's not a PDF extension.
Thanks for the help!

Since you're sure you saved it back to CS5, the issue might have been caused by saving directly to the server. Illustrator does not particularly like that.
90% of corrupt files are caused by saving directly to the server.
You might try and first copy the file to your harddisk and then open it from there. Opening files directly from the server is an issue as well.

Save Dialog Box not Opening

I have SQL 2012 running on a Windows server 2012. I just loaded the Visual Studio Business Intelligence Studo 2012 that I downloaded from Microsoft. My problem is that when I click "Save Copy of package.dtsx
As..." , instead of getting the "Save Copy of Package dialog box" , I get the regular generic windows Save Copy of box for saving to a directory file.
Is there some sort of configuration I need to do to have Save Copy of Package dialog box popup?

Hi jd51057,
When we click “Save Copy of <package file> As” on the File menu in Project Deployment Model, we can only save the package on the disk.
Please note that the procedures in the
article is about Package Deployment Model. So if we want to open the Save Copy of Package dialog box, we should change the Model first, then refer the steps in the article.
To convert the Model from Project Deployment Model to Package Deployment Model, please right-click the project to select “Convert to Package Deployment Model” option in the Solution Explorer. If a package uses features unique to the project deployment model,
such as parameters, then the package cannot be converted. So please avoid use features unique to the project deployment model.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

I uninstalled FF4 because it's buggy. Some kind of dumb dialog box keeps opening, and there's much that isn't compatable with new version.

I want to go back to firefox 3,6. I uninstalled FF 4 because it's buggy. I don't like it. There's a dialog box that keeps opening. That never happened before. It's damned annoying and not necessary.
There are a number of items that no longer are compatible that once were.

How do I stop the "drag firefox into the applications folder" dialog box from opening every time I open Firefox on my iMac?

When I installed Firefox on my iMac, a dialog box appeared telling me to drag the Firefox logo into the Applications folder, which I did. Firefox works fine, but every time I open it this dialog box opens before Firefox does, and I have to close it out. This is irritating. How can I stop it from opening again?

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
