Set preferences to open a jpeg

Hi
My images open to "Preview" by fault. I'd prefer to use an application called "Image Browser" as my default to open jpegs.
How do I change this setting?
Thanks

How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

'''IT'S A EASY AS IT SHOULD BE.'''
This is essentially paulbruster's answer, but I've added the steps some might assume, but which aren't so obvious to those of us who are new at this, like me.
This solution might ''appear'' to be long and complicated, but after you follow the directions once, you'll find it's quick, clean, and simple. Almost like they designed it this way.
# If you haven't already, open a bunch of tabs on a few different subjects.
# Click the List All Tabs button on the right side of the tab strip.
# Select Tab Groups.
# Create a few groups as described [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups#w_how-do-i-create-a-tab-group here] , i.e. just drag them out of the main thumbnail group into the new groups they create.
# Now click on any thumbnail in any new group, but not the original big default group you may have left some tabs in.
#A regular Firefox window will open, but'' only the tabs in that group will be visible.'' You also now have the Tab Groups button in the tab strip.
# Right click on any tab, and there it is: Bookmark All Tabs. Click on it in the list of options. Or you can hit Ctrl+Shift+D instead and go straight to the dialogue box from the tab without any clicks. But don't go looking for this familiar option anywhere else, 'cause it's not there.
# Now pick an existing folder or create a new one just like you would have before and '''shlpam!''' there they are. New folders are supposed to end up in the Unsorted category all the way at the very bottom, but for some reason mine show up at the bottom of my last sorted category.
# DO NOT CLICK THE UPPER-RIGHTMOST X to close this group of tabs. This will close ALL of your tabs in all groups, currently visible or not. At least it asks if you're sure first. Instead, click your new Tab Groups button to return to the Boxes 'O Thumbnails window, and click the X in the group box you just bookmarked.
# Click on another thumbnail to repeat the process with another group, or click on a thumbnail in the big default box to return to the original FF window. You can also click the Tab Groups button at the upper right, or Ctrl+Shift+E, which will also get you ''into'' the Boxes 'O Nails window ''from'' FF.
# So now when you reopen FF after shutdown, simply select your folder from your Bookmarks and Open All in Tabs. '''Just like paulbruster said. '''

Setting preferences when opening pdf files in Safari

Safari opens pdf files using Preview in Safari, which is fine. However, I would like the pdf files to be auto sized to the window, and displayed with continuous mode off. These are my preferences if I use the Preview program. Instead, pdf files are always opened in continuous mode, and not autosized.
I can't seem to find a way to change the default settings for displaying pdf files in Safari. Any help?

I'm tired of having to do this for every pdf file I open in Safari.
I understand. Preview via Safari is new in OS X Tiger. Apple has a history of building improvements/new features with each rendition of OS X.
You may want to express your concerns and needs to Apple via their feedback page before the release of Leopard this coming spring.

Unable to set action of opening image/jpeg in Firefox

I just want to open and view a jpg link in a firefox tab, but it instantly ask me if I want to save it or open it by other application. Fine. I go to Options - Applications to change the action of handling jpg. There are 2 kinds of jpeg, one is "JPEG Image (image/jpeg) and the other "JPEG Image (text/html). I can change the action of "text/html" to use Firefox as the default action, but for "image/jpeg", no matter how many times I tried, it just doesn't allow me to choose Firefox but other actions or applications. Precisely, I can choose Firefox in the "Select Helper Application", but after I clicked "OK", it reverted to the old action. I tried to restart Firefox and tried again, but no good at all. It frustrates me so bad.

Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

Note that the extension will allow to open this image file in a Firefox tab as that is the purpose of this extension.

How do I set my preferences to open most recent catalog?

I'm running LR 4.1 with ACR 7.1 on a Windows 7 64 bit OS.
I set my preferences to open most recent catalog.
I then open another catalog and do some stuff in the catalog but when I start LR next time it keeps going back to a different catalog. How can I change the settings so it either opens the most recent catalog or I get prompted for which catalog I'd like to open (I've tried both settings) and LR still keeps opening the same catalog.

In the same dialog that your screenshot shows select as per this screen shot:
Your setting should open the catalog you most recently worked with. If you work on catalog A, then open catalog B, with your settings Lr will open with catalog B the next time.

How to set preference to "show all" open windows in all open applications (until I quit)

how do I set preferences to "show all" windows in all open applications (until I quit the application) ?

Can you explain more what the problem is and what you want to see.
All windows are shown by default, unless you minimize them, so I'm confused at what you are asking.

I accidentally changed a setting so every time I open a jpeg photo, adobe reader pops up and says it's not compatible. I just want to be able to open a jpeg normally and not have adobe open.

Hi Lhughes0,
Try these steps:
1. Select the .jpeg file
2. Right click on that file and on context menu go to the last option which says "Properties"
3. Now you will see the option where you change the program to use for opening your file
4. Instead of Adobe Reader select Windows Photo there.
5. Apply and say OK to it
Give it a try

How do I set Elements to open jpeg files?

I have been using Photoshop Elements to open, manage and fix my photo files. Since I installed an Adobe Reader update, the photo files and attachments try to open with Adobe Reader X, which only opens pdf files and can't open the jpeg photos. The only way I can open them now is by going to Elements and using the Open command. How can I reset Elements to it automatically opens photo files? I am using Windows XP. Thanks

Ken,
I went through all the avenues I know but couldn't come up with a Default Programs list on the Control Panel. Would it be listed under some other heading?

Open untagged JPEG with external editor, then be attached with sRGB profile

Hi there,
I wonder why I open untagged JPEG with "external editor" (Photoshop CS) , then the JPEG will be attached with sRGB profile. Of course my color setting on photoshop is "Use the embedded profile".
I think sRGB is the default RGB space of colorsync utility , because the profile is also sRGB when you check "Add Colorsync Profile" on iPhoto 6.
Anyway , I want to set up total Adobe RGB workflow , so does anybody know how to change sRGB profile to Adobe RGB profile when opening untagged JPEG directly with external editor?

Thank you for your reply , Lloyd.
I am sorry , but I noticed my misunderstanding message.
As you know , you can change raw and other image files to tiff or psd for external editor. You can select that on the preference. At this situation , if you pass nontagged image file to external editor , then automatically sRGB profile is attached.
I don't think this is related to export preset for JPEG file.

When I try to open a .jpeg in Bridge CC2014, I get the error message cannot find Photoshop CS6.

I have associated my .jpegs with Photoshop CC2014. I had to do this manually. Now, every other program opens them in Photoshop, except Adobe Bridge CC 2014.
If I try to Open a .jpeg (or any other file associated with Photoshop) Photoshop from bridge, it says It cannot find the photoshop cs6.exe file. Of course not! I uninstalled it before I installed CC. Maybe two years ago. And now Bridge CC2014 goes looking for that as the CS6 default Photoshop.exe?

I finally got it to work by going into Bridge->Edit>Preferences>Default settings. After choosing a file that is supposed to open in Photoshop, I chose to change it and browsed to Program Files>Adobe>Adobe Photoshop CC2014 and manually linking each filetype to the photoshop.exe.
I have spent the better part of a week getting Adobe software to work again after the Adobe CC2014 install. I will never trust Adobe CC updates again. They failed to warn me that CC2014 installs as a completely different copy rather than an update of CC. As a result, I ended up uninstalling CC apps after installing 2014. A mess that has cost me more than *30 hours* of chasing around forums, manually re-associating files. Even a registry hack! Found by a user, not by adobe.
Ordinary users shouldn't have to do this sort of thing after a normal install from the Creative Cloud panel. The genius software engineers at Adobe are being totally undercut by the keystone cops in the cc updates and install department.

ITunes tells me "Could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I can locate it and all my other music, but can only open one song at a time. How do I set it to open all my music whenever I want it?

iTunes tells me my song selection: "Could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I can locate it and all my other music, but can only open one song at a time. How do I set it to open all my music whenever I want?

I just spent several hours dealing with this when switching to a new PC. It was extremely frustrating as I knew my files were on my external HD but no matter how many times I copied my old iTunes folder over the files were still missing...because dummy me had forgotten to "unhide folders" on my new PC and my old files were actually stored in a hidden folder created long long ago.
This is how I did it on Windows 7 with iTunes 10
1. Look in iTunes Advanced Preferences to see where iTunes is saving files. (Edit, Preferences, Advanced)
Example: C:/Users/Woildbill/My Music/iTunes/Music
2. Ensure you are able to see hidden files - Control Panel, Folder Option, View, Show Hidden Files
3. Use Your Computer's Search Function to Locate the Missing File (Start, Search, type name of song - I started my search in "My Music" folder but be sure to expand to entire Computer if not found right away)
4. In Search Results, right-click found folder and select properties. This will tell you where the file is actually stored.
5. Use Windows Explorer (right-click start) to navigate to the location of the file. It is likley your other missing files are in the same location.
6. In Windows Explorer, copy the newly located files to the iTumes location from Step 1 and everything should work again.
Hope this helps!

Why You Should Set Photoshop to Open Your JPGs in Adobe Camera RAW | Creative Suite Podcast: Photographers | Adobe TV

In this episode of the Adobe Creative Suite Podcast Terry White shows the advantages of setting Photoshop to open your JPGs in Camera RAW by Default.
http://adobe.ly/S78sgj

Thanks Terry! I’ve been using this for a few years and settled on the somewhat more flexible approach… As you mentioned, Bridge offers an explicit command to open a JPEG or TIFF in Camera Raw, which I do, but then with a press of Shift I can open that JPEG as a smart object and revisit CR controls for further adjustment at any time later in the process.

My issue started as ACR grayed out in Bridge using PS CC. No option in preference to open in Camera Raw.

My issue started as ACR grayed out in Bridge using PS CC. No option in preferences to open in Camera Raw. After browsing this forum I downloaded the most recent ACR and installed. Now Bridge stalls on the "building crieria" screen. There is a message to purge the cache but that screen stalls as well. I have force quite multiple times and re-started. Any suggestions?

As far as i know, photoshop cs2 and adobe bridge 1 (cs2) could not open jpegs or tiffs into camera raw, only camera raw files.
I believe photoshop cs3 was the first version to allow jpegs to be opened in camera raw.
Are you sure you had photoshop cs2 before?
If on the other hand, you can't open camera raw files that you used to be able to open, then you probably just need to update the camera raw plugin to version 3.7

Opening a .jpeg-file in a folder with Applescript

I am trying to change the names of .jpeg files into the names of the corresponding music albums in a folder.
As far as my knowledge of Applescript goes, the following script should do the job, but it does not open the .jpeg file, i.e. document 1
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
activate
          set url_path to cell "bestandspad_cover" of current record
          set album_title to cell "album title" of current record & ".jpeg"
end tell
tell application "System Events"
               try
            open url_path
                              if not (exists url_path) then
                                             display dialog "not found"
                              else
                                             display dialog "path=" & url_path
                 open document 1
--error number -1719 from document 1
                                             set name of document 1 to album_title
                  display dialog & name of document 1
                 close document 1 saving yes
                              end if
               end try
end tell
I work in an FMP environment, but that should not bother you. I am using the Applescript editor to simulate the actual situation.
I tried 'open', 'get' and 'getURL', to no avail; in my experience Applescript sometimes requires illogical, or say imaginative solutions.
Do you see one?

Thanks for thinking with me.
The problem lies not with FMP; hereafter the Applescript in the editor; I left out the displays, but the content is given in the next line.
==========================

--name of file is "325.jpeg" referred to by url_path
--here I get persistent error messages

                              set name to album_title
--set name of document file "325.jpeg" of folder "ALBUM COVERS POP" of folder "POPMUZIEK" of folder "Documents" of folder "apmwulfinghoff" of folder "Users" of startup disk to "First Ladies Of R&B.jpeg"

                    end tell
          end if
--save document file
--close folder saving yes
end tell
================================
The real problem for me is to obtain the name of the document file; I can't figure out why I cannot succeed.

Preview won't open selected jpegs

A colleage on a Mac sends me jpegs, but once in a while I cannot open them in Preview. I get this message:
+Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize.+
The originator, my colleague, attached the jpeg to an email to another colleague, who forwarded it to me. I saved it to disk in a couple of different ways and locations, but was unable to open it with Preview, Photoshop Elements, Adobe Reader, or iPhoto via import.
I emailed the jpeg back to the originator, who opened it in Preview without problem. Any clue as to what is going on here?

You previously mentioned that your colleague could open the jpeg. Does your colleague have the same OS as yourself?
Don't know what OS he's on.
Are you sure the pic you have is .jpeg. It's possible that it is corrupted. Are you having problems opening other .jpeg files?
It says it's a jpeg. He sent it as a jpeg. It has a crazy creation date, though- July 5, 1929.
Try the following: Trash the com.apple.Preview.plist file.
Home/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist
This didn't work.
Try running +repair disk+ from your *software install DVD* and afterwards, run +repair permissions+ *from your HD.*
Will try tomorrow.
Thanks.
