Slow file browser

The dreamweaver file browser is so slow and laggy at the moment.
Everything else on the computer is smooth and responsive, and it's very frustrating that the most important program on the computer is also the slowest.
I've read several other posts covering the same issue, so I'd like to know is it going to be resolved soon, or should I start looking for an alternative editor?
Thanks
Using: iMac, Mavericks, 4GB Ram

Problem was mapped networked drives that are no longer accessible.
This looks like a bug in sql*dev. Why would it care if I'm scrolling through directories on C: yet the Z: network mapping is not working?

Slow file browsing in MED-V / XP Mode with NAT and DFS

Note, for the purposes of this question, this issue is with the Windows Virtual PC / XP Mode integration portion of MED-V so is not MED-V specific.
We are in the process of deploying hundreds of MED-V instances to Windows 7 PCs to support legacy applications until they are replaced with versions that are compatible with Windows 7. Due to security concerns and our network infrastructure configuration,
we are required to use "Shared Networking (NAT)" mode for the Windows XP virtual machines. Our network drives are mapped to DFS shares. Depending on the site and drive mappings of a user, when opening or saving a file in an application,
it can take several minutes to browse to the target directory, even if it's not on a DFS share. Occasionally, it takes so long that the RemoteApp window hangs and disappears, even though the application is still running in the Windows XP VM.
Running network traces in the VM, I can see that Windows XP tries to "ping" all of the DFS targets whenever the network drives are enumerated, such as when clicking on My Computer. It waits for responses, then eventually times out.
From what I understand, this is the way that Windows XP determines which DFS target link is the fastest. Unfortunately, since vpc.exe does not run with admin rights in Windows 7, ICMP (ping sends ICMP ECHO REQUESTS) is blocked by the NAT
between the VM and the Windows 7 host. (This is why you cannot ping other PCs on the network from within the Windows XP VM when using NAT.) Therefore, the long wait times happen while XP waits for the replies that never come.
To verify that this is indeed the problem, I started vpc.exe with admin rights, then started the MED-V Workspace. I could ping other computers now from within XP and browsing took seconds instead of minutes. However, our users will not have admin
rights in Windows 7 so this is not an option for them. I also tested in bridged mode instead of Shared Networking mode with the same positive results. However, this is also not an option in our environment.
Any solutions or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,

CS4 apps are VERY slow to open Windows file browser with File Open or File Save As commands

We are running CS4 on Windows 7 with all available updates installed. Photoshop and the other CS4 applications are VERY slow to open a Windows file browsing window to select files when File Open or File Save As menu options are run -- it can take as long as a minute or two for the window to open. Once the window opens and a file is selected, then opening or saving the file is very quick. The location of the default directory, whether it is on a local drive or a network drive, makes no difference. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

The link that I posted earlier is off. Read this one
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2501584. I discovered in my network that the MS Office File Validation Patch made excel crawl when opening over the network though nothing else changed. At the time I was opening Excel on Office 2003.
You can manually turn this off by editing the registry and tunring it off. Going forward I skipped the patch to keep my sanity. Not sure if this is the same as your issue, but the support article will go into detail how to either have Fix it
clear the issue or change the proper registry keys.
Hope this helps

File Browse moving files

So, my DBA has issues with me storing PDFs in the database as a BLOB. Instead, they want to move the file to a shared drive location and store the link to the file. They think that the 300 or so PDFs loaded per year will make the database get really slow and hard to partition.
Is this possible in APEX? Does anyone have any examples?
For example:
User creates PDF on a local drive (C:/temp/somefile.pdf).
I use the file browse for them to go find it. When the form is submitted, the system needs to pick up the file and copy it to //someserver/someshare/.../somefile.pdf and store the link as the new file name to the file.
Oh, and I still need to be able to display the PDF from within the application.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Hi,
I know this does not answer your question, but look at this Ask Tom post:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:1011065100346196442
Here we have thousands of files uploaded to the database by Apex apps and it does not make the DB slow (well in fact it is quite slow but for other reasons...)

Sloooow file browsing....

Hi all
Just got a new Mac Pro (YAY!)....
One thing kind of bugging me is how slow it is when displaying the contents of folders.
I keep my windows in columns view. When I click on a folder, there is a lag of 2 or 3 full seconds before the contents of the folder displays in the next column. This happens for every level of the folder contents and so file browsing is very slow and tedious.
It was not like this on my old Macbook under Tiger, and I am wondering if other people have this experience or if it is unique to my system.
Possible culprit.... I have my files on a 1TB drive, which I did not partition because I have been led to believe it is not necessary with new drive technology.
Running 10.5.2, 10GB ram, system and apps are running on a 320GB internal, files are on a 1TB internal, and 1TB internal for Time Machine.
Anyone have any thoughts that might be helpful?
Thanks!!!!

I use File Manager, and although it does not supot FTP its a pretty good manager. With several cloud options.

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
After moving all the files, restart the computer and empty the Trash.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This unwanted program is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Slow file transfer - ethernet + firewire issue?

Here's the setup -
Win98PC > ethernet (direct cable connection) > iMac G5 > Lacie d2 FW drive
Connection (100BaseT) works, logins work fine, browsing folders & files is fine. But when I transfer files from the WinPC to the Lacie drive through the iMac G5 it is unbelievably slow. Same thing if I use one of my other Macs in place of the WinPC, so it looks like a network or iMacG5 issue, not a WinPC issue.
On the other hand, if I use Airport to connect a WinPC, eMac or MacBook to the iMacG5, the file transfers are blindingly fast.
Is this perhaps because the FW & ethernet controllers in the iMac G5 are the same PHY chip? Is this some kind of contention for bandwidth through the PHY chip? (The Airport card in the iMacG5 is on a separate bus, not connected to the Ethernet/FW PHY chip, which makes me suspect something is up with the ethernet/FW controller.)
Anyone else encounter a problem like this with slow file transfer through your iMacG5 to an external FW drive?

Martin, that's really interesting. I've noticed slow network transfers in the past but always racked it up to overhead and parity errors inherent in the OS's. Never thought it might be the PHY chip, though it certainly could be. Apple has a broadband tuner which might help you by increasing packet size (but you probably knew that as a Level3). My stopgap is to do the file transfers with firewire, but your laptop may not have that option.
You could maybe copy to the mac over the network, then copy a second time to the LaCie. Not elegant or clean, but will save you time. Kinda like taking the backroads to avoid rush hour traffic - it's farther to go but you get there faster.
I'll look into the controller question. Let us know how you're doing,
Ed

Looking for file browser for WordPerfect Graphic files

I'm not sure which forum to post this to, but here is my question. I have many CD's of WordPerfect Clipart in WPG format from my old WordPerfect days in Windows (sigh, I miss it on my Mac). I am trying to find a file browser or viewer that will display the thumbnails for viewing. Many apps and the finder do this for standard graphic file formats but I can't find one for wpg graphics.
I can convert one at a time with MacLink Plus but it is so slow and you really don't know what the file is until coverted.
If you know of any app that will diaplay a series of thumbnails or a light table view of the files I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

You could download the free last version of WP for the Mac, open them in that and save each as PICT. A third-party utility, "MetaMacro", would do that on all files in a folder in one step. Links to the download, the necessary OS 8/9/Classic updater (also helpful on OS 7), and MetaMacro are at:

Disable autoplay in file browser

I there a way to turn this off.
I have about 55 clips that all need the same thing done to them. I'm dragging clips from the file browser to the appropriate spots on the layer tab, but everytime I go to grab a clip, the **** thumbnail at the top of the file browser starts playing the clip and giving my system a hiccup. Very annoying and it's really slowing down my work flow.
I'm having to drop each clip onto 3 different layers, which takes system resources and I don't have the best GPU on this particular machine. Turning this off means one less drag and click I have to perform to pause the thumbnail and less load time into the layer tab.
Any suggestions?

Heya,
Open the preferences (Cmd+,) look in the General tab for the 'File Browser & Library' section, and uncheck the 'Play items automatically on a single click' checkbox.

Error: Unable to locate an image file browser...

I get the error below when I insert an image element and try to associate a picture to it by either double clicking it or using the browse button in the Draw palette.
I have looked in my install directory and the "FileSystemBrowser.dll" file is present as well as the "ImageFileBrowserIDL.dll" file, so what gives?

Is there a way to see a file browser on iCloud? It says my account is filled up to 5G already and I can't imagine what it moved over to there that was that big.

Is there a way to see a file browser on iCloud? It says my account is filled up to 5G already and I can't imagine what it moved over to there that was that big.
I'm wondering if it moved my rhapsody music to the cloud (which is pointless) so I shut off 'document' sharing in case that's the problem, but it's still saying I'm at 5G right now.
When I go to icloud.com all I see is the dumb app icons, with no clue as to what's taking up that disk space.
btw, I did not sync photos from the get-go.
A file browser? please? I need to see my cloud.
sigh

Have you enabled Automatic Downloads on all of your devices? This would download all of the books to all of your devices when you download on any device - as long as you are using the same Apple ID and iTunes account on all of your devices.
Go to Settings>Store>Automatic Downloads>Books>On. When you download a book on one iDevice, it will download to all of your iDevices. This will only work for downloads moving forward from the moment that you turn the setting on. You will have to download the previously purchased books to all of your other devices.
With iCloud, you can start reading the book on one device and then pickup where you left off on another device.

Why can't I see the list view in the file browser

In the file browser for FCP X, I can see the files in the thumbnail view but when I choose "list view", I see nothing.

Check three things: the filter popup in the upper left, the search box in the upper right, make sure there's nothing in it, and the action popup (the gear in the lower left) make sure there is no weird setting that's removing everything.
You can also trash your preferences to reset them.

Iphone file browser stopped working after upgraded to IOS 5

Hi,
I have an iphone 3gs which I have recently upgraded to IOS 5. But to my horror after I have done that I can no longer browser my iphone's internal storage. Iphone connected to PC via USB, the file explorer no longer available. It can still sync with itune fine but there is noway I can access the storage locater in the phone via file explorer like I used to. Mind you I still have 3GB of space there.
Is that a bug? Or I stuffed up the upgrade some where?
Anyone else had this experience?
Alex

I know whats wrong now...
My phone had been emptied after I last restored it, after I took a picture and insert the phone back to the PC. The file browser shows up again...
That means if there is nothing in the phone, the file browser wouldn't be too bother to even show up. Weird one...

Possible to set the Created_by column value for File Browse?

I'm using database account authentication and then a user gets to upload a file. Then my stored procedure reads the file. I was investigating a problem, happened to search the apex_workspace_files view and noticed the created_by column is always set to APEX_PUBLIC_USER for the files my users upload. Is there some way I can set that value when they log in, so I can track who actually did the upload?
Thanks,
Stew

Dimitri,
I was just using the standard File Browse item, so getting the blob from the workspace view. Though I've seen notes here about loading to your own table, what I had seemed to work (and was done) fairly well. There were just these little features I wanted to use...
Thanks for the suggestion.
Dave, I'm not sure which stored procedure you're suggesting I add the apex_custom_auth.get_username value to? I hoped that the internal File Browse routine would pick up the get_username value automatically instead of the application definition Public User value.
Thanks,
Stew

How to add a new right-click menu entry in Nautilus file browser?

I want to add a couple of new context menu entries to Nautilus File Browser.
So when I e.g. right-click in View Pane on a file "foobar.conf" an menu entry "edit with gedit" should appear (among the other default entries).
When clicked the file "foobar.conf" should be passed to gedit (and gedit editor opened).
How can I achieve this?
Under Ubuntu there are nautilus-actions but when I try to install them in Solaris with
pkg install nautilus-actions
then this package is not found.
How else can I create my own context menues?
I would appreciate to have one script with all my context menus, which when run add them all in one step.

To manage selected files or directories, you can use specific Nautilus variables like NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS.
For more details and which variables exist, please read the content of the following URL :
