[SOLVED] Dialogue Box in Openbox

Hi all, first post so let me say I'm enjoying my Arch experience thus far and have managed with the wiki until now. My dialogue boxes are huge, I'm on a netbook and whenever I need to open a file or save a file the dialogue boxes open almost off screen.
Is there a setting I have missed somewhere where I can adjust the default size?
appreciate any nudge in the right direction.
Edit: should mention when I use geany text editor and do a "file open", the dialogue box opens to large for the window as well.

[Solved] File "Save As" takes more than 20s before dialogue box opens

Whenever I use File "Save As" in any non-kde application (eg firefox, medit, kino), the dialogue box opens immediately but then takes more than 20 seconds to display the contents of the initial directory, after which I can then save the file. Alternative directories can then be selected instantly without problem. Starting File Save As again, causes the same long delay, so its not a caching issue. This occurs in XFCE4, LXDE & KDE.
KDE apps, however, list the contents virtually immediately, indicating that its not a disk or filing system problem.
The XFCE4 theme (under Appearance > Style) is Foresight, and the icon theme is Nuvola. Changing these does not make any apparent difference.
This is on a SATA drive with 84 GB free running Arch 64.
Can anyone suggest how this can be rectified?
Last edited by Cotton (2010-01-01 19:19:12)

Many thanks for that - problem solved.
The file contained 323 lines pointing to a single directory with multiple subdirectories, none of which was a removable device.
Moving the file to another location, resulted in the File Save As operation functioning properly.
Not sure if I actually use gtk-bookmarks as it hadn't been modified in over 6 months.
Anyway, thanks again - its made a big difference.

Can't bookmark certain web pages. I press Ctrl-D and the "Bookmark this page" dialogue box does not appear.

For example: If I open the home page of The New York Times and press Cntrl-D, the bookmark dialogue box appears but pressing "done" has no effect, the bookmark is not saved. If I go to a page with a particular article, then the bookmark function does not even appear. At first i thought this had something to do with the web site, but that isn't the problem. I just can't bookmark anything. On some pages the dialogue box appears and on others it doesn't, but the result is the same everywhere: zilch.
And here is something really strange: when i press Cntrl-D on the Firefox start page, the bookmark dialogue box appears with "Board of Education" in the page title field. What is ''that'' all about?
I have tried all manner of fixes: deleting "places.sqlite" and "localstore.rdf" files, operating in "safe mode", disabling add-ons, re-installing Firefox, etc. etc.. Nothing seems to work. I am running the latest version of Zone Alarm Security Suite. It has an advanced browser security function that includes virtualization. I tried disabling the browser security option, but this did not solve the problem, although I still suspect that Zone Alarm could be the culprit somehow (it often is). \
Any and all ideas will be welcome as I am fresh out.

The problem with bookmarking (which I thought I had eliminated with a clean reinstall) has returned after a Firefox update.
Checked out /questions/743526.
A scan with Malwarebytes did not detect any malware. Not in normal mode, not in safe mode.
And look at the solutions offered by st4dog and jimcou: they each deleted different registry values to get rid of XULRunner.
My problem remains as it was: I don't want to mess with my registry unless I know ''exactly'' what I am looking for (deleting). At least my PC is running, and scans with Malwarebytes, SpyBot SD, Pest Patrol and Zone Alarm AV reveal no infections. If I screw up the registry I think I'll be in a lot worse shape.
Again, until I have ''specific'' instructions on how to get rid of this thing I guess I'll just have to be content with using IE if I want to do any bookmarking.
Thanks for the reference. I do appreciate all of your - and other user's - help in trying to solve this problem.

How to disable dialogue box asking for exchange user/psswd

Everytime a particular user sends me an email, just by clicking on that email or opening it, I get this annoying pop up dialogue box asking for name and password.
It looks like an exchange server thats connected to the users account and has nothing to do with my email account. I don't use exchange.
I have to hit cancel 3X and then it automatically prompts me every few seconds.

Solved.
It was because the folder was from time machine backup that I just dragged and dropped to desktop.

How do I get to the bottom of a dialogue box that isn't visible? Critical Mail problem!

I tried sending an email to a long list of recipients in a group. For some reason, I got a werid dialogue box about how it my SMTP server didn't recognize some addresses (though they all seem fine). No big deal, normally I would just edit the message and fix/delete the offending email addresses. However, the bottom of the warning dialogue is off screen and I can't scroll down. All I can do is hit "enter" and try to resend. But then I get a repeat.
The message in question is not seen in either my Outgoing, Sent, or Drafts folders. At least not when the dialogue box is open. So I can't just kill the message.
I also can't quit Mail while this message is up. I can go to the Finder and force quit. But then if I restart Mail the dialogue box pops right back up and I'm stuck where I was before.
Basically, I just need to know how to get to the bottom of the warning dialogue box so that I can click on the "edit message" button.
Help?!
Oh, I'm running the most updated version of OS X Lion.

I did that twice. Once, about an hour ago. And nothing changed. I did it again about twenty minutes ago, and still nothing. A few minutes ago I tried yet another force quit. And .... that seemed to do the trick. The offending email message is gone.
So my problem seems to be solved.
But the larger issue remains of a major bug in Mac OS, it seems. If a dialogue box is larger than the screen size, how is someone ever going to be able to deal with closing it or anything else? It would make sense to automatically allow the cursor to scroll down to the very bottom of any dialogue box, regardless of its size. After all, that's how windows work, right?
Crazy!

When quitting safari I used to get a dialogue box with checkboxes, useful if I accidentally pressed command q, but now option seems to have disappeared. Any ideas why or how to retrieve it please?

I used to get a dialogue box when quitting safari, which was useful if accidentally hitting 'command q', but has now disappeared leading to lost work etc.
Any idea why, or how I can get this useful option back please?

Now resolved, after chatting to Apple online support, who said they'd not heard of this happening - solved it quickly enough though.
Anyone interested or suffering similar I was told to remove website data from privacy tab in Safari preferences. And yes, I'd love to know how it worked too.....
Great thanks to Apple.

How to setup a guest network when the dialogue boxes do not show up in AirPort Utility 6.1

How do I setup a guest network when the dialogue boxes do not show up in AirPort Utility 6.1?
I see screenshots where there are boxes to 'enable' guest network but these simply do not apear on the Wireless tab in AirPort Utility

I now have a guest account, thanks to you!
I did the factory reset and was able to set up the guest account.
There were 3 problems, all of which I was able to solve.
The first problem was connect to Ethernet, which I selected by WAN port, as shown in the first screen shot. This page used to read just Ethernet and the Bridge Mode.
The second problem was whether to share a range of addresses or share a public IP address. I selected share a public IP address as shown in the first screen shot. I had tried the range of IP addresses in my earlier attempts, the ones that failed. Hopefully this will have no effect.
I have forgotten what the third problem was - only excuse is a few too many flavored drinks. I didn't have any problems solving it though.
What is really weird is I can log on to Guest and use on my iPad (first generation), my wife's iPod Touch (third generation), and my wife's 2011 MacBook Pro. I can't log onto Guest on my 2008 iMac, even after a restart. I get the image below.
Since I don't lug my iMac around a lot and it is connected by Ethernet, while my little make it right brain says figure this out, I am not going to worry about it.
Thank you again for your time and patience in helping me solve this.

Dynamically populate pdf File name in 'Save As' dialogue box

We have rendered a pdf using adobe webservice.
Once the pdf is generated , and we click on saveAs menu dialogue box opens and default name is populated in fileName field.
Can it be possible to populate that name dynamically ? We tried using response.addheader() but it didnt work.
Note : We are using java to create xml which we are passing to adobe webservice.

Hi Jaynet,
In order to re-produce this, you need to answer "yes" to the rename file prompt and then continue with step 5 (above).
The reason for this is not an exercise in futility - I assure you. At my work and elsewhere, when web developers have created features to permit the end user to save web data in Excel format, often times the Excel files are saved locally in Excel's
html format (but with the .xls
extension).
(I actually prefer the .xls
extension, because it is easier to just double-click the file to open in Excel, rather than to select the open-with and then select Excel. a file with the .html extension will default open in your default browser. Now, I could change my default program
for the .html extension, but that would only solve a part of the problem and would not really address the bigger issue and that being that Microsoft changed a behavior in Excel and may not even be aware that it was a much used feature. )
To continue, when I go to open the resulting Excel file, I am prompted with the message that the file type does not match the extension (which is fine and not bothersome to me). It's at this point when I go to save the file that I get really annoyed.
In previous versions of Excel, the default file name would be pre-filled with the current name of the file and the default file type would state that it is a Web html file. I would just change the file type to Excel Workbook and hit enter to save.
I would be prompted with "Are you sure you want to overwrite your existing file?" message and I would click "yes" and that would be that.
However, in Excel 2010, because the default file name is blank, I then need to re-type the name into the field to save the file.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Dialogue box that won't go away

While using Word, it suddenly shutdown, disappeared fromn the screen and a dialogue box appeared: "The application Word quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Reopen t;o open the application again..." The three buttons are "Close", "Report" and "Reopen".
None of the buttons work. There is no way to move the dialogue box. AND, when I shut down the computer and started up again, the dialogue box appeared again - not functioning.
How can I get this dialogue box off my screen?

Developments since posting question:
- The dialogue box can be moved around the screen by dragging on the upper part. But it will not go into Trash.
- I just found and installed a new MS Office 2004 update for resolving the issue: "Word quits unexpectedly when clicking on print."
- That doesn't solve my problem. Word is now quitting when I click on "Save as", and all new work is lost.
What a bummer! Maybe I have to reinstall Office 2004.

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

Indesign CC crashing / freezing on save new folder name folder dialogue box

Hey guys,
I am having a reacuring bug regarding the new and awesome indesign cc 9.2 64 bit windows pc.
When I am saving or opening in indesign if I use the dialogue box to create a new folder to save the file in it creates it and then when the mouse moves to let you rename it from new folder default it freezes and crashes indesign.
Anyone else have this? Just curious if this is a known bug?
This is on a fresh install (re-install) saving to a second hard drive that is not the OS drive - if that helps. No other programs have had this problem.
Cheeeers,
D

Try installing the 9.2.1 update. Probably won't solve the problem, but shouldn' hurt, either.
I don't think this is a bug, by the way, or other users would be reoprting it, too, so it's likely to be an interaction with something else on your sytem. You might be able to isolate it by running MSconfig to turn off startups and test.

Mail Preferences Dialogue Box

I don't appear to be getting the correct dialogue box when I click on "Mail", "Preferences". A dialogue box that is titled "Accounts" appears. I know looking at a friends Mac, he gets an entirely different box. We both appear to have the same version of mail....
How do I get the correct box?
Thanks

Aren't there some tabs at the top of the preferences window ranging from "Accounts", "RSS", "Junk" to "Signatures" etc.? Just click on one of these buttons to open up the corresponding settings window. (Note: The preferences window always opens up with the tab that was last used.) Did that solve your issue?

Issue with missing links dialogue box

When I open up an InDesign document that I've been working on recently several times a dialogue box has opened up asking to update missing links - all the links to image files are on an external drive connected to my Mac and none of them have been updated or altered in anyway or moved, all the links are correct and in place when the document was saved yesterday evening on my Mac's desktop so has anyone any idea why this message comes up? It doesn't happen every day but has happened quite a number of days, the list of links that need updating varies as well from as low as say 9 up to 248 which is nearly all the images in the document and it's a bit of a pain having to go through the document turning clipping paths off then back on so the images display correctly again!
Whilst other people can and do access the external drive to access the image for their own documents they haven't changed or altered the images so there's no reason for them to show up as missing in InDesign, the external isn't turned off at night or during the day or unmounted at all either. The file was originally a Quark file converted into an InDesign one via Markzware's software, that apart I can't think of any reason why this message appears often? Anyone any ideas about it?
TIA

anyone got any other ideas about why some of the picture links are being listed as modified? It's an exceptionally annoying quirk, for the last 7 days the links on a 40 page catalogue the links were all fine, this morning however on opening the document it listed over 100 of the images as modified when nothing has been done to them.
When I actually update the picture links in the links palette, in the details panel for the picture the modification date does not change after updating the links, it's the date that it was placed that does change - not sure if this will be of any help in trying to solve whatever's causing this issue, as mentioned above it's exceptionally irritating that it happens and is something that's putting other people off using InDesign over Quark as Quark doesn't seem to suffer this problem, and it would be worse if it happened on some of the other catalogues we do as they're 80 - 100 pages in size!

How to continue the running process behind the model dialogue box options ?

In Updation of K7 user press the Cancel Button

I don't know, if you mean you have done your form or you have solved the problem.
It's visible your code is only partly reflecting your screenshot, and that's okay to demonstrate the problem you have given a fine example.
As you marked my suggestion as solution this may not be needed anymore, but here's how I modified your code and used a self made QuestionBox instead of messagebox.
The essential part is defining a callback method and letting the QuestionBox call back there. It's not essential I used RAISEEVENT, but it's fine as it has all the behaviour and parameters needed to call back.

Adobe CS 6 dialogue boxes opening off screen

Hi all. Since upgrading to Yosemite 10.2 all my dialogue boxes in CS6 (InDesign, Photoshop, etc) now open with the top half disappearing off the top of the screen (see image). I'm working on a dual monitor setup, and the problem is with my larger, second monitor. REALLY annoying, as most of the functionality is now lost since I can't drag the box back into view. Is anyone else getting this, and / or got any solutions? Thanks in advance.
