Size of 'open/save' window-box

For some reason the size of my 'open/save' window boxes have become full-screen in size. How can I change it back to small window-boxes, please? Thanks!

That silly business where windows "snap" to the bounds of the display can be disabled, by the way.
Excerpted from my book Configure The Windows 7 "To Work" Options. I've emphasiszed the setting you may want to change in color here:
Configure the New Aero Accessibility Enhancements
Windows 7 introduced some new features to help you arrange your windows on screen. Some people like being able to maximize a window by dragging it to the top edge of the screen, or maybe tile windows side by side by dragging them to the right and left edges.
You can also enable Sticky Keys by holding down the Num Lock key. Trouble is, it's possible you might do that accidentally - this can be confusing if you don't expect it.
Microsoft considers these Accessibility Enhancements, and they're on by default.
If you're like us, these things just seem distracting.
The good news is that you can turn these things off:
Click Start, type ease in the search box, and open the Ease of Access Center.
Click Make it Easier to Focus on Tasks (you may have to make the window larger and/or scroll down).
Uncheck [ ] Turn on Toggle Keys by holding down the NUM LOCK key for 5 seconds.
Check [ ] Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge.
Review the other settings while you're here.

Open/save dialog boxes stuck at (too small) default size

I've been having a relatively small issue with Mountain Lion that has become a big hassle. In past versions of OS X, whenever I'd resize an open/save dialog box in an application, it would be that size the next time I went to open/save. In Mountain Lion, however, those dialog boxes always default to the smallest possible size (which is too small to read a filename longer than a few characters). so I have to resize the dialog box — every time! I open and save a lot of files, so this gets pretty tedious. This doesn't seem to happen in apple programs, but it definitely does in the Office Suite and the Adobe Creative Suite, especially in CS4 Photoshop and Illustrator. Might be I can fix it by myself but I can't imagine where I may dig it.

Open/Save Dialoge Box covers the whole screen - CS3/Vista

Hi,
I´m using Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista and I have the following problem:
I can´t reduce the open/save dialoge box in Photoshop CS3 as I could in earlier versions, which I find very inconvenient.
It stretches over the whole screen and there seems to be no way of reducing it. There are handles at the corners but they don´t work.
Is this normal in CS3 or could it be just a wrong setting in Windows?
I hope somebody can help me on this, thank you so much!
Best regards,
Mike

Is this normal in CS3 or could it be just a wrong setting in Windows?
No, it's not normal. There are two things I can think of:
- the dialog repositioning feature of your graphics card is not working properly (NVidia Desktop etc.)
- you resized the dialog in another program and now the huge size has become the system default
In both cases the solution should be pretty obvious - either adjust the settings/ turn off the graphics card's special features or resize the dialog back in the program it was turned huge in the fi8rst place. For the latter, also checking your more general folder view options as well as manually deleting desktop.ini files may offer a way out.

Open/save dialog boxes disappear after leopard upgrade

hi, since upgrading to leopard, i cant open or save in logic. I can open existing documents from finder and they load ok, and i can create a new document but if i open or save from the file menu, no open/save window appears. The options in the logic drop down menus are grayed out (including quit) as though the dialog box is open somewhere but not visible. if i drag the main window to one side nothing is there and i cant quit unless I force quit the app. i've moved to different spaces but the dialog box isnt anywhere to be seen. Anyone got any ideas? thanks, dren.

This has been sooooooo annoying!! I decided to revert to tiger as I would much prefer to have logic working than the extra features in leopard

How to get Open/Save Dialogue box

Hi,
I need to get open/save dialogue box while downloading a file (from JSP).
One way which I am currently using is on click of the button pass control to servlet and in servlet using the following code:
/**.....Some Code */
response.setContentType("application/csv");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
/**.....Some Code */But I am wondering is there any way I can do the same without passing the control to Servlet? On clicking the button in JSP, is there is any possibilty to get the Open/Save dialogue box directly.
Thanks
Arun

without passing the control to Servlet?Why?
In HTTP you can send the response only once.The application where i have this requirement is an old one. In the application, I have there are some screens, whose control never goes to Servlet.
TO be more precise, 2 pages one HTML and another JSP. And the file to be downloaded is created when JSP is called from HTML page. And there is no interaction with Servlet. The JSP inturn calls a method in Java file (which is not a Servlet) and gets all the details including the file to be downloaded.
I have used window.open() to download the file(in JSP) in order to have Open/Save dialogue box.
But the approach is working fine in Windows XP systems but not in Windows2000. In Win00 machines it is directly opening the file in popup without giving the user any option for Open/Save.
Please let me know your suggestion on this.
Thanks

Can't tab into file list when using column view in the open/save dialogue boxes

Hi,
When in Open/Save Dialog Boxes I can't use tab to select the file/folder list in Column View. Tab will only cycle through Save As, Tags, Search, and the Sidebar. In all the other views (Icon, List, Cover) I can tab into the file list. Is this a bug?
I know that enabling Full Keyboard Access will make this work, but I'd rather not do that since it increases the number of buttons you must tab through to get to the file list.
I'm using the latest version of Yosemite on a 2014 Macbook Air. Thanks.

Hi,
Did you found the solution to this? I'm also trying to do something like you , but I got stuck up in a very primitive stage than you. I'm not getting how I can make that File Download window to appear. Can you help me please.
Thanks.

Why can't I sort in Open/Save dialog boxes?

Ever since I upgraded to ML, I found that I am unable to sort the listing in open/save dialog boxes. Currently the folder contents (List view) are all sorted by reverse Name. There are times I rather sort by Modification Date or Creation Date.
The regular finder windows work as expected (click to sort, two clicks to reverse sort), but it seems this functionality have been removed from the Open/Save dialog boxes. I've searched for any tips/hints, but have been unable to find anything. Help.

v3ktor.com wrote:
Could not find the sorting function in the open dialogs before coming here. Really bad interaction design from Apple. It took me ages to figure it out. And if you sort it on "name" how do you switch A-Z or Z-A?
You are not sorting, you are Arranging (ie grouping). In the Open file dialogs, you don't have an option to Sort.
If you want to sort the items, set Arrangement to None and use the List View. Click the headers to sort. If you want to add more headers, right-click on the headers to select them.
In the regular Finder Windows, the options when you click on that button without any modifiers is the Arrangement options. Arrangement groups items by those criteria. By Name is like Sort, but without an option to switch direction.
If you press that button (or use the menu command in Finder) while holding down the Option (alt) key, you will get the sort options. If you have an arrangement set, then the Sort option will sort within the groups. Some Arrangements have no sort option (like by Name) because it doesn't make any sense. If you just want to Sort, then set Arrangement to None and use the Sort option to sort.

Help with the open/save message box

Hi everyone, I have a link to a PDF on my website and I need it to open in browser. Right now it always comes up with the open/save message box.
This is no good because I need to embed a direct page link (ie #page=9), and the open/save message box removes the page variable and opens to page one.
It's strange because I have two PDF links on this particular page and while one works fine (and opens in browser) the other constantly prompts with open/ save.
Suggestions? I've already gone into the PDF preferences and set it to "Open PDF in Browser"... this does not help.
Thanks,
Nathan

Well - Yes --- and No. When I try to re-save a document or use the new Save As... implementation I am generally offered my Mac. But - If I create a New document and then use Cmd-S I am taken back to the iCloud Save window with the disclosure triangle closed. I am seeing this in TextEdit and Preview, but I have not checked all my document creator applications to see if the protocol is across the board.)
(Note - the "On My Mac" button is only available in the OPEN Dialog - not the SAVE Dialogs.)

Mac Open / save dialog boxes in AI CC 2014

Any help with this would be appreciated!
After updating to os x 10.10.3, only the 'name' appears on the open/save dialog box in AI CC 2014. Other CC apps are not affected. Toggling the view button DOES NOT fix the problem. Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks

OS X Yosemite is doing this and it's also throwing the preview off the screen:
The mode in the photo of the earlier post, if you keep dragging the window over eventually you will get to the other options, but the File Open preview pane has become useless

Open/Save Dialog Box SLOW

My Mac has slowed down to an absolute crawl. I have reinstalled the OS, run Disk Warrior, Disk Utility, removed my preferences folder to see if something in there was actin' up, I've repaired the permissions, etc... Yet in any application (whether it's Photoshop CS 2, Safari, TextEdit, doesn't matter), if I hit "open" from within that application... no exaggeration... it can take anywhere between 45 seconds to a little over a minute for the dialog box to finally appear!
The last thing I want to do is nuke my machine. I am so tired of that being the solution whenever something can't be fixed.
Has anyone run into this? Does anyone have any ideas what to do to fix this problem without nuking the machine?
(this hasn't been a problem at all until, maybe 3 months ago or so... and I've been running Tiger since it was released)

Holy cow. I am in complete shock.
...got up this morning, saw the suggestion 'bout the iDisk, figured I'd give it a try...
That was it!!! I've had a .mac account for years, have had my iDisk on my desktop for as long as I can remember. I wonder if something from software update somehow made my machine and the iDisk go "screwy" 'cause it started getting excruciatingly bad just a few months ago.
Thank you, thank you!! My machine has received a gigantic speed boost across the board, and the open/save dialog boxes now appear instantly when I call upon them, all my apps quit instantly now too. This is amazing! [breathes huge sigh of relief]

Open/Save Dialog Box Freeze

Hello,
Since updating to 10.4.7, the open/save dialog box freezes (beachball) after selecting a folder. Can anyone please point me in the right direction in solving my issue.
I used the ComboPPC updater and then ran Cocktail to repair permissions, cron scripts, clear caches etc.
I recently posted about the Finder freezing instead I should have mentioned that it was the Open/Save dialog box.
Regards,
David

Sort-by-type for column view in open/save dialog boxes?

Hello all,
I've done a fairly good search both on Google and in these forums and can't seem to find this question addressed. When I go to open or save something (in Preview, for example) I prefer to use Column View in the dialog box, since it is easy to see and navigate the folder structure. However, Column View always shows up sorted by name, even if I specified in Finder that the folder be sorted by type. Because of this, I have to scroll down and hunt for subfolders rather than having them conveniently listed at the top.
My question is this: is there a way to get Column View to sort by type in the open/save dialog boxes? (The Command+J that works in regular Finder does nothing in these dialog boxes.)
Thanks!

No. Column view will only sort by name. If you wanted to put a space before each folder name, then they will sort to the top. Sorting by Kind will put folders above files, but it will also put anything else except files at the top. If there are only folders, however, that would put them first in the sort list.

Can't drag sidebar items in "open/save" dialog boxes - Mountain Lion

(First time poster) Using Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and InDesign CS6. Having errors. First was that smart folders made the Open/ Save dialog boxes crash when referenced in the "Favorites" section of sidebar. Next, and more serious, error, is that I cannot drag/ rearrange my sidebar items in this view. AKA I cannot take "Favorites" on the sidebar and drag that section below "Devices" or "Shared" or "Media" like I normally can in Finder or any other app for that matter. Recently installed SIMBL and "Colorful Sidebar" app but uninstalled and removed bundle file from SIMBL plugins folder in order to try and resolve this. Hard to say if this problem started before or after the third-party plugin was installed, but regardless, it's gone now, and still having problems. Help please! Thanks,

None of these are InDesign questions.
I'd suggest asking this is the Apple forums:

Snow Leopard sidebar width in open/save dialog boxes

I think I found the answer to the infuriating non adjustable sidebar width in the open/save dialog box.
It requires finding the plist of every program you want to change (I know... annoying)
Close the application if open. Open the plist in Property List Editor (which is the default anyway so just double click) and delete any line which begins NSNavPanelExpanded...
Reopen the application and the sidebar now mirrors the settings in Finder (where the sidebar stays adjusted if you alt+click drag it).
I haven't restarted yet so don't know if it will stick but I don't see why it shouldn't, and I don't know if it will reflect further finder changes to the sidebar width.

In the case of Photoshop it looks like NSNavBrowserPreferedColumnContentWidth also needs to be deleted, or a new value entered.
So it might be different for different programs
