SMIL files download automatically???

Hi all,
Was not quite sure where to post this,
well, I was looking for some .SMIL tutorials and followed the links on apple's quicktime sites.
One of the links is http://www.multimedia4everyone.com/ which you can find in the SMIL resources box on the quicktime SMIL page. when i went to this page using safari and clicked on the fisrt link in the SMIL files - the 'Intro to SMIL version 1.0, RealNetworks G2, 80KB SMIL 1.0 with RealText.'a download started and placed the .smil file onto my desktop.
I checked quicktime prefs and found that it was not set to handle .smil, I enabled it and retried and it opened it with quicktime but the file does not work properly. And still it downloaded and placed the file on my desktop.
I tried with firefox, the same thing except it asked wether I wanted to play with QT, save to disk etc. I chose play with QT - and still the file got dumped on my desktop.
Why does OS X download this file when I haven't told it to?? I checked on windows machines and it plays in real player without downloading.
I may be paranoid, but this seems a little 'abnormal' behaviour for OS X, and I've been very paranoid since the emergence of Oompa Loompa.

The .smil (smile) extension (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) comes in flavors (version 1 and 2). QuickTime only works with version 1.
http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/ for more info.
Since QT plug-in only supports version 1 and most new content is developed for version 2 I think (IMHO) you shouldn't use the QT plug-in for .smil content.
I think the last time I saw a .qhtm file was about 1997. I believe it is created for PC's before the plug-in or ActiveX architecture was developed.
A simple Mac "trick" to open a file with a different app is to Control-click for a pop up menu. Choose the Open With... menu and pick from the list.
This lets you try the QT Player on the .smil file. If it fails to open or gives error messages a double click will open it with the default app. I use Real Player as the default (only because it seems to work).

  • Make shared Onedrive file download automatically (not Office Online)

    How can I make a shared document in OneDrive automatically download to a user not logged in Office 365?
    I want MS Office 2013 file tos download and not show up in Office online.  Is that possible. It happens for MS Office 2003 and pdf files; when "View only" sharing but not with MS Office docx or xlsx files.

    Hi,
    Now I understand your concern.
    I opened your link and the document was opened on Word Online, and I don't know how to download the document directly when opening the link. Since we mainly discuss Office Client questions in this current forum, I thought it was an OneDrive for Business
    client issue. Now I know this issue is about how you want the share link to work from OneDrive for Business in Office 365, to get the more appropriate support, I suggest you post the question in Office 365 Community Forum:

  • How do I prevent a PDF file from automatically downloading to my computer.

    I've tried everything I know to Prevent a PDF file from automatically downloading to my computer. I would like the "Choice" of Read only or Download. HELP!!!

    Google Chrome and I do, indeed, ;have the Adobe Reader/PDF installed. It continues to open to downloads and refuses to give me the option to select whether to download or read only.

  • JSF error message: Automatic prompting for file download

    This is a weird problem. I have a JSF application wherin I popup a new window on a submit button.
    The window opens a test.jsf page that redirects the output to a servlet1.
    Servlet then based on some parameters does a sendRedirectI() to different servlets out of context.
    Now the issue is that when the output is redirected to out of context servlet, that returns a file download.
    If in IE browser, if one does not do a setting of "Automatic prompting for file download", this window that I had opened on submit buttton vanishes in a jiffy. If the IE setting is done, it shows the file download correctly.
    I would want to show the user some kind of message by which he/she understands that this IE setting has to be done.
    I have tried several ways:
    1. Javascript: window.onbeforeunload on the test.jsf so that when the window unloads i can show some message. But since test.jsf forwards to servlet1, the html page generated does not show my script.
    2. I also tried checking if some windows registry can help me understand the setting.
    3. I tried writing in response object the javascript and then redirecting it to servlet out of context. But I guess sendRedirect() does a new request, so this did not help.
    Can anyone help? I am not sure if I am able to explain my problem correctly.

    Here is the result.I used your code and it worked fine with IE setting Enabled. But when I tried to access the download servlet after opening a new window, it doesnt download the file.

  • Prevent .pdf files from automatically downloading in e-mail

    How do you prevent .pdf files from automatically downloading in an e-mail message with an Exchange account?

    Yes, that's a plausible explanation.
    Never having locked a Numbers document, I don't have first hand experience.
    I put my sensitive documents in an encoded disk image file. Less bother. But then, I'm not e-mailing sensitive documents or otherwise exposing them.

  • Installed Adobe Reader, now .pdf files do not download automatically

    Hello,
    Unfortunately, I recently had to download Acrobat Reader to complete a .pdf form with fancy menu fields. Now, whenever I click on an internet link to a .pdf file, Safari tries to open the document in a browser window, and seems to hang on a white screen. Sometimes I get a prompt asking me to locate Acrobat Reader. What a vile program... infecting other applications like that.
    Previously, .pdf files would automatically download to my desktop when I clicked on a link to one. How do I restore this functionality? I would like all .pdf files to download automatically when clicked rather than being displayed in a browser window. Thanks very much.

  • Prevent automatic file download

    I want to stop the following file from automatically downloading each time I restart Firefox: "Above & Beyond - Live at Electric Daisy Carnival (Los Angeles) 2010.06.26 AKULENOK - 666.mp3"
    When I move the file to the trash, and try to empty the trash the Mac Finder won't allow to empty; it says "File In Use."
    If I quit Firefox, I can empty the Trash; but then when I restart Firefox, the file is immediately and automatically downloaded again.
    Thanks for your help!

    Once an item enters your download queue, you can't delete it.  You can let the download complete and then delete the unwanted item. Or, contact the iTunes Store Support Team to have them remove the item from your download queue. Contact the here:  https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action

  • TAx Reporter Temse Files Download Automation

    Hi,
    I have a reuiqrement to download the Temse files generated in Tax Reporter. I have completed the code and it works fine if we run the program in foreground. But when I run the same program in background some Temse files downloaded have junk characters. If I download the same Temse file in foreground it works fine.
    There seems to be some issue with the FM when I run my progam in background.

  • How to recover a file downloaded but not saved in firefox.(when downloading gave the open option instead of save)

    Version: Firefox4Beta

    Problem:
    I was downloading a large RAR file from the internet.
    While downloading the file i didn't selected the save option instead i gave open with(winrar) option. I have some other rar files to combine with this file. So after the completion of this partial downloaded rar file is not saved in my system.How can i recover it.
    Thanks n regards,

    hi,
    Thanks for ur reply.
    But i already searched the windows and looked for that file.. But its not anywhere to be found. See first while downloading i gave the open option instead of save. So after the completion of the download the file opened automatically in winRAR. I tried to extract that file then it gave me some error. After that i closed the winrar and searched for that file in windows with search option but its not seen anywhere.
    Thanks n regards,

  • How to get file download dialog box in IE 6.0 for .CSV files?

    In our Java application, when we download .csv file (by clicking a tool bar button or menu item) in IE 5.5, it brings up the download dialog box and when we click the open button it opens the file in a seperate browser window but after migrating to IE 6.0 it doesn't bring the download dialog box and we are not able to open the excle sheet in a new browser window.
    We tried downloading .csv file in IE 6.0 by changing its extension(such as .cs1 and .xls) even then it did not work.We also tried associating CSV type of extension with "Microsoft Excel Comma Separated Values File" in the Windows folder options (Windows Explorer->tools->folder options->file types(tab)), which did not work.
    Please respond if you have come across this kind of issue and solution for the same.
    Thanks in Advance

    This has nothing to do with Java. It's Microsoft
    setting for known file type. IE is responding to the
    setting which will automatically download known file
    type (MIME type).
    To show the "Save As" file dialog, you have to do the
    following (for each file type)
    1. open Window Explorer
    2. click on Tool-->"Folder Option"
    3. click on the "File Type" tab
    4. select the extension and then click on the
    "Advance" button
    5. Check the "Confirm open after download" checkbox
    6. Click OK
    IE should now display the "Save As" file dialog for
    that extension. Remeber, you have to to this for all
    extension you want to see a "file dialog" pop up.Unfortunately this is not the only cause. Even with this box checked, downloading java source files from the pages of The Java Tutorial causes them to open in the most recent IE - I (and others also) don't get the save/open dialog box. Java source files downloaded from (some) other websites result in the save/open dialog box. I believe that one of the security changes that MS made in IE's handling of files is the cause. The setting of content-disposition by the server appears to be the key, according to MSDN information.

  • Java WebDynpro's and IE security settings for file download

    We have a EP 7.0 SP13 environment on which we have deployed a number of own developed java webdynpro's. In some of these webdynpro's we provide the file download functionality. The portal and webdynpro's are used by both internal personnel and external customers.
    On the other hand the default Internet security settings for Internet Explorer, disable "Automatic prompting for file downloads".
    When a user, with these default security settings active, tries to use our webdynpro's file download functionality, the screen seems to refreshes but no file download starts. When (s)he retries, the session runs for some minutes and gives following error message:
    "com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.session.LockException: Thread SAPEngine_Application_Thread[impl:3]_20 failed to acquire exclusive lock on client session ClientSession".
    This behavior is explained in SAPNote 1234847. Webdynpro provides a single-thread module, meaning a user session is blocked for the during of the request. And because the previous file download isn't yet completed the new try can't start.
    Issue now, although the users IE settings allow file downloads and don't block pop up's, he can't download the file and even isn't made aware of the cause of the failure.
    How can we avoid this issue, without having to communicate the
    application requires specific browser settings?
