[SOLED] Firefox input type = file selects the wrong file

When I have use a webpage in firefox that has an upload feature, Firefox often selects the wrong file. I can reproduce this problem by simply creating a form with an input tag like this:
<input type="file" />
When I enter the file selection screen and open fileA the input box contains fileA, fileB or fileC. It seems kind of random to me. I use KDE 4.5 btw, if that matters.

It seems to be some kind of kde problem. When I delete ~/.kde4/share/config/* it works fine. I tried deleting the all files in share/config starting with a-m and it still didn't work. Then I deleted every file from n-z and it didn't work so it's probably a combination of files that give these problems. I don't feel like setting up KDE all over again so damn, it's back to Icewm, again...

  • Launching Microsoft Access from Internet Explorer to view a downloaded MDB file opens the wrong file (not a problem if I use Firefox)

    When clicking on a link (in Internet Explorer 9) to download an Access MDB file and then choosing to open the file directly in Microsoft Access (2007) instead of saving it, the file is copied to Temporary Internet Files but Microsoft Access tries to open
    a different file and displays an (Unrecognized database format) error.
    When I click on the option to open the file, the MDB file is copied to Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 but instead of that file, Access tries to open a different (incorrect) file located in Temporary Internet Files\Content.MSO (e.g. in the above error
    message, NativeView.do is an XML file containing an error message).
    I don't see this problem with Word, Excel or PowerPoint files. When opening a Word file (without saving) the Word file is copied to Content.IE5 but an identical .tmp file is created in Content.MSO which when opened in Microsoft Word displayed the required file
    correctly. The same happens for Excel files. PowerPoint appears to be handled a little differently (no .tmp file created in Content.MSO but the required file is still copied to Content.IE5) but the PPT file is still opened correctly in Microsoft PowerPoint.
    I think the Content-Type "application/msaccess" is fine because Internet Explorer does launch Microsoft Access. It just tries to open the wrong file (or so I think). However, it looks like the file type is not being determined. Here is what I noticed
    when trying to open different Microsoft Office files using Internet Explorer:
    The last one is the MDB file. As you can see, only for this type of file, the "Type" (Microsoft Office Access 2007?) is not displayed in this Open/Save dialog box.
    On Firefox, I don't see this problem. When I tried clicking on the link to the MDB file in Firefox, Microsoft Access was launched and the file was opened correctly. Is there something I can do so the MDB file is opened properly using IE? I can add/change headers
    in the HTTP response that writes this file to the output stream (on disk) if that helps.
    Thanks for your time!

    Sounds like a problem symptom to be discussed in either an IE forum or an Access forum, not here.  How did you come to post here?  ForumsRedesign.  That might be an on-topic issue for this forum.  <eg>
    Can you find your way to either of those other forums easily from here?  Another on-topic question for here I think.   ; )

  • Firefox downloads a file with the wrong file extension. How can I fix this?

    The title says it all. When I download files, it comes out with the wrong extension, not sure what extension it comes out as.
    It actually just comes out as "file."
    How can I fix this? Is there something in about:config I can tweak to eliminate this error?

    Hi dartz!
    This type of problems are not related with the browser you are using, in this case, Firefox. This issues are the consequence of the way that the website "packed" the file.
    What you should do is download the file, locate the file, give right click on the file and select "Rename". Now, don't change the name!!! Just add "." and then the extension that you wanted. Example, you download the file "norwegianwood", after renaming it, it should read "norwegianwood.srt".
    Hope this works for you, take care!

  • How to Dynamically Select the Data File for a Report at Print Time

    How do you configure a Crystal report to ask for the file to be reported on as the report is being printed, and allow the user to browse to the file?
    The environment is Crystal Reports XI, SP3, with ODBC connection to Sage Timberline Office data version 9.7.  The client names their Payroll unposted time file each pay period, and also needs to report on their posted data file, depending on the time period for the report.  The client will need to select both the date range and the file name.
    I have created a SQL statement in Add Command in Database Expert, which prompts for a file name, but it does not let you browse to select a file on the computer.
    Therefore, in the prompts when they print the report, the parameter offers the user a default file name similar to the name they currently use, so they only have to change the payroll period end date in the supplied file name to run the report successfully.
    The client is concerned that sometimes a user will name their data file differently, and not know how to input the file name into the Crystal report prompt at print time.
    My research on dynamic prompts showed you can link to fields inside the data record, but I did not see a way to dynamically link to select the actual files used in the report.
    Another question is that the naming convention used by the SQL query is different than the basic Windows file name, but I think I can handle that issue.
    The actual file name is typically similar to:
    04-10-11 BP NEW.PRT
    However, in the SQL query, the record ID looks like:
    PRT_00-00-00 BP NEW__TIME
    The SQL Statement using a parameter is:
    SELECT
    "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Employee",
    "EMPLOYEE1"."Employee_Name",
    "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Date",
    "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Units",
    "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Job",
    "JOB1"."BP_Emps_Used"
    FROM
    "PRT_CURRENT__TIME" AS "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"
    INNER JOIN "JCM_MASTER__JOB" AS "JOB1"
    ON "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Job"="JOB1"."Job"
    INNER JOIN "PRM_MASTER__EMPLOYEE" AS "EMPLOYEE1"
    ON "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Employee"="EMPLOYEE1"."Employee"
    WHERE "JOB1"."BP_Emps_Used" = 1
    AND
    ("PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Date" BETWEEN
    {?As of Date} - 41 AND {?As of Date})
    UNION ALL
    ( SELECT
    "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Employee",
    "EMPLOYEE2"."Employee_Name",
    "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Date",
    "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Units",
    "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Job",
    "JOB2"."BP_Emps_Used"
    FROM
    "{?NEWPRT}" AS "PRT_NEW__TIME"
    INNER JOIN "JCM_MASTER__JOB" AS "JOB2"
    ON "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Job"="JOB2"."Job"
    INNER JOIN "PRM_MASTER__EMPLOYEE" AS "EMPLOYEE2"
    ON "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Employee"="EMPLOYEE2"."Employee"
    WHERE "JOB2"."BP_Emps_Used" = 1

    Hello,
    Sorry you'll have to contact Sage on how to do this. We can help you once you get connected but we can't help you get around their connection methods.
    There is no Preview Set Database Connection method you can use in CR Designer. The Designer assumes you select it first or use the Set Location option before previewing or refreshing the data.
    If you are doing this in the Sage program itself we can't help you, you'll have to contact Sage for assistance.
    Sage is an OEM Partner they are responsible for supporting their product and CR. If they have issues help you then they will contact us directly for assistance.
    Thank you

  • Adding the wrong file into your project.  How do i recover

    Did you ever work on a project and for some reason store audio files in the wrong location or move so your project does not play back correctly.
    I just did that.
    Basically I found the right files and where there located but one of the files I found and added back, seems to be the wrong file. The problem is now that I told logic were to locate the file it saves it automatically. How do I click on a different audio file from another location, and put it in place (same location) of where the change need to be made.
    Hope i didn't confuse anyone.

    You are using 'Save As Project' aren't you? If not, you should, and set the copy options to taste, but certainly your unique files for that project. Also check out the manual about 'Consolidate' Projects.
    Having done that, if you have a region in your arrangement with the wrong audio file, then delete it, and pencil tool-shift-click where you want it to be. A file dialog will open from which you can pick the correct file. It will load where you clicked.
    Be careful when you clean up projects, or select-delete unused from the audio window, in case you delete a file used in another song. Always better to have too many copies than not enough…

  • In iTunes 10, I could type "Sinatra" in the search file, and would get a list of all tracks with "Sinatra" in any field.   In iTunes 11 I get these clever little windows, with nice arrows, but no lists to view.   What am I missing?

    Thanks for chipping in.   I discovered something after trying what you suggested.   I have quite a few collections of hits by year from Time Life and Billboard.  I've eliminated duplicate tracks that appear in both collections (or other CDs for that matter), but cross-reference the CD where I deleted the track and placed in in the comments section of the CD track I retained.   If I "search" by song name, only the remaining track appears.   But if I want to hear for example Classic Rock 1964, only those tracks remaining would be there when I pull up that CD.   So, I type "Classic Rock 1964,"  in the search field.  First the boxes on the right of the screen open up showing album icons.  Showing four tracks by album with a button to view 10 more, then four songs with an option to vies 18 more.   I finally noticed that at the top of the boxes is a blue band that reads, :Show Classic Rock 1964 in Music.  When I double click on this blue band, all 24 tracks from the original CD appear in the song list format even though I had deleted two of them because they appeard in a Beach Boys CD.   On those tracks, I had referenced Classic Rock 1964 in the comments field.    So, bottom line, Search will also look in the comments field if you click "filter by all" in the magnifying glass to the left of the search field.   And you can move all tracks that if finds into a song list by double clicking on the blue band.

  • Selecting the first file from a group of opened files in Photoshop

    Hi, I've been digitizing microfiche with 200 or so pages photographed onto one image file, laid out in a grid pattern. I've been using actions in Photoshop to cut out one page, create a new file in Photoshop from that page, then return to the first, master file and do it again with the next page in the series. So when it is complete I have each individual page as an individual image file which I then save with a batch process. I've been doing this for a while and have managed to make it work but I always run into the problem, when creating this action again, of getting Photoshop to select that first master file each time instead of selecting just the previous file. I know I can get it to select the previous file, or the previous file -1, -2, -3, etc. I've somehow been able to get this to work in the past by creating an action that selects a large enough group back, like previous file -19 or something, and through some bug or sheer luck it has worked and will always select that first file. But it doesn't always work and it always takes some frustration to luck into it when it does. Now I can't seem to get it to work at all. Is there a straightforward way I can simply tell it to select the first file everytime? If not, does anyone know how or why the method I used previously sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, and how I can make it work again? I'm using PS CS5 in Windows 7. Thanks!

    Just put this code on a file and put that 'namedfile.jsx' inside the scripts folder on photoshop.
    Open or re-open photoshop to load the script and create an action linked to a shortcut selected by you and save this script going to File>Scripts>namedfile.jsx
    It is just to press the shortcut key and the active image go back to the image opened before.
    When it is the first one it runs the script the same but it remains there.
    Here is the script:
    // Go back to the previous opened image
    #target photoshop
    // Go back to the previous opened image (not the previous viewed) . If it is the first, it remain there.
    if(documents.length>0) {
        var thisIndexImage = getActiveDocumentIndex();
        var theDocs = app.documents;
        if ( thisIndexImage != 0 ) {
            var flatAnterior = theDocs[thisIndexImage - 1];
            } else {
            var flatAnterior = theDocs[0];
        app.activeDocument = flatAnterior;
    } else {
        alert ("You must have opened images to run this script.")
    // Get the active document number - the number of opening order
    function getActiveDocumentIndex(){
         var ref = new ActionReference();
         ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
         return desc = executeActionGet(ref).getInteger(stringIDToTypeID('itemIndex'))-1;
    If you want to go directly to the first of all the images (in opening order) it is simpler:
    Just create this script:
    var first = app.documents[0];
    app.activeDocument = flatAnterior;

    How do i show the filename.type instead of the entire file path?
    I want it to show "ProgramSetup.exe" instead of "C:/Program Files/Oracle/JavaFX/ProgramSetup.exe"
    I have created a JavaFX program with the help of my manager

    if i remove the last line, it will display but with the full path....
    i search through google and the guide on many forums aren't clear to me.....some said there are 2 ways but i tried and it is not working, atleast for me...maybe i left out something or what....can anyone help me on this?

    You don’t need the absolutePath:

  • Lion Mail selects the wrong entry after delete?

    Does anyone else thing Mail selects the wrong entry after delete? Say your scanning through your mail from latest to oldest, something most people seem to do. You click on an entry, read the mail and then press delete to move it to trash. Mail picks the next newest entry instead of the one right after the one you deleted. But you've probably already looked at that one and want to look at the next older item. So I have to select, delete, click the down arrow, delete, etc. in order to quickly go through mail, deleting the ones I don't need, and leaving others I want to go back too.
    Seems like there should be an option to set what the next entry is after delete.
