[solved] Xdg-open to open everything with file manager

I like to screw around with my system constantly and xdg-utils is an annoying utility to have to constantly fiddle with. I know there is a way to get xdg-open to open everything with the default file manager, but my google fu has failed me. As of right now I use pcmanfm, and I'm fairly certain I'm sticking with it for the long haul.

This helped with a xdg-open anomaly. Before installing perl-file-* packages, pcmanfm used to open everything in firefox (which is set as default browser in xdg-open). Thought could be helpful to anyone having problems with applications using xdg-open.

Problem with File Management in InDesign CS4 on Win 7 64-bit Machine

I have Adobe CS4 and just today have encountered a new problem for which I have no solution. When I open InDesign CS4 and choose the Open File menu, and then attempt to change the way the menu diplays items (e.g., Details rather than Small Icons, ec.), the program crashes and I get the "Adobe InDesign CS4 has stopped working" error message. I first encountered this after attempting to open a folder containing InDesign CS file that I need to open and update. In *that* case, the program crashes as soon as I open that folder (from within InDesign). What I have done so far to solve the problem: I tried using Bridge to browse to the problem folder and open the files from there. Bridge does not crash when I open the folder, and I am able to open any file in the folder *from Bridge* into InDesign CS4. However, when I attempt to, for example, export text from the file, while it does not crash when the window (where I get to specify the name of the exported file and change its location [if I wish]) opens, when I attempt to change how the file menu is displayed (cf. my comment above), the program crashes. *However*, if I simply export the file to any folder other than the one the opening of which crashes the program, too, everything is fine. So the problem seems to afflict the one folder, and any attempt, in any folder, to change how the folder's contents are displayed in what amounts to InDesign's use of the Windows file manager function. Any thoughts would be greatly apprecatd.

Dear Peter,
This is me (PottsJazz) under my (foolishly misplaced) original username (potterjazz) here on Adobe Fora. For various reasons, I decided to do a ground-up reinstallation of Windows 7 64-bit and Adobe CS4 and, initially, the ability to specify the way folders are displayed from within InDesign's own File Manager worked as it should. However, at some point as I went along installing all the software packages I use (Office 2010, Firefox, WordPerfect, some file converters, DVD/CD burning software, iTunes, etc.) the problem reemerged. I think it is probably a glitch with Windows 7 64-bit and one of my programs, but it is definitely not CS4's fault. I just have to create folders, specify folder display styles, etc., from outside CS4 and then maneuver within its programs to the folders and file locations from inside. It's a small price to pay for not spending days reinstalling software and testing testing testing. I'll let you know if I ever get a solution.

(SOLVED) Firefox and Sublime calling Cervisia as file manager

I'm using KDE 4.13
Problem In Firefox :
When a download is completed, it shows up in Downloads window. When I ask "open containing folder", it will display a warning:
http://up.vbiran.ir/uploads/10587140621 … a-warn.png
"This is not a CVS folder.
If you did not intend to use Cervisia, you can switch view modes within Konqueror."
and then open `Cervisia` :
http://up.vbiran.ir/uploads/10584140621 … ivitia.png
Problem in Sublime Text Editor :
When I running Sublime and then `Pereferences > Browse Packages`
(Same as Firefox)
It will display :
"This is not a CVS folder.
If you did not intend to use Cervisia, you can switch view modes within Konqueror."
and then open `Cervisia`.
Any ideas?

replace nautilis with whatever the default file manager is for KDE and you should be ok.
Solved Tnx
I'm using `Dolphin` and tried :

Worked like a charm.

[SOLVED]Iced Tea Fails to Launch Webmin File Manager

Last night I started receiving an exception error when trying to launch Webmin File Manager from my laptop. I googled combinations of Webmin File Manager and Java and found posts dating back to 2009, 2010 stating webmin didn't work well with Iced Tea but did work with Sun's Java. Fortunately the Arch Java wiki indicated jre existed in the AUR. So a simple,
sudo pacman -Rs icedtea-web-java7
followed by,
sudo packer -S jre
and Webmin File Manager is accessible again.
My thanks to AUR maintainer Det.
Edit: After converting to jre I was able to access webmin filemanager but unable to access webmin ssh2. I reverted back to icedtea and went to the security console. i added https://serverip:10000/ to the exceptions and now both ssh2 and filemenager work.

Having problem uploading files with file manager

When i use file manager and try to select a file from desktop then desktop disappears quickly so you can't even select the file you want. I'm using firefox 25 and i thought it was that so i deleted firefox and reinstalled firefaox and get the same problem.
It tried with safari and it works ok. Any ideas on how to fix this? Its really annoying.
Thanks,
Den

Well, since you didn't mention exactly what the problem is, I have to assume you have not set up your website definition properties correctly. There are plenty of good step by step instructions in the help files for setting up your website definition.

What format are the files.

Help with file management

Well I am just starting my first project using FCP and can see that it is going to be a learning curve after coming over from PPro.
One thing that I have been unable to find is just how to keep track of which clips have been used in the timeline, and how many times. In Premiere Pro I had the option to show video and audio usage for each clip in the browser.
Have not found how to do this yet in FCP.
Hope someone can help with this....
Thanks
Kirk

Guess that I just have to get used to how it is done in FCP. I have over 1,500 clips in about 30 folders and it would sure make it easy if I could just glance at a clip in the browser and see if it has been used.
Thanks for the tip on the duplicate frames though. That is going to help to identify duplicate clips once they are placed in the timeline.
Sure seems like a lot of time spent identifying if a clip is already used though. As I look through the clips in the browser I guess there is no way to tell if they have been used other than put them in the timeline or use the search function.
Still learning here.
Thanks
Kirk

[SOLVED] gimp can't open any files - probably an easy fix

I can't open any files such as .png's or .jpg's in gimp. How can I change this. I installed it via pacman. I don't know if this helps, but I'm running kde.

Open fat hdd files in file manager..user mode

Am able to open files from win HDD in root mode..
Cannot open files in ...user mode...
Please advise corrective action!!

I have discovered that I can ....open in file manager...all of my linux hdd partitions of which there are six...in user mode!! However, none of the windows hdd provide any ...open in file manager...response. This indicates something amiss in the windows area. The file manager runs correctly in ..root... but doesn't do so in user mode for opening windows hdd .
The file manager runs in KDE using ..disc free access to all hdd's.
I used the term....users... in fstab to enable all users.
I don't have a clue for fixing this problem!!!!

What's problem with File Panel?

Hi All!
I'm web designer, while developing my site, my work is
breaking a problem with File management of DMX.
First, I develop site in DMX8 (ASP + SQL), then when I open
that site in DMXCS3 - Note: all file still in only one Folder in
HDD on (D\: Drive), (example: photo-editor.asp), this file content
is last time modify. And when I open again this file in DMX8 - the
file content of this file (photo-editor.asp) not same with new
version in DMXCS3. It is old version!.
I don't understand why that. (note: I don't check Enable
cache in Local info in Site Definition). Please help me about this
problem!
Thank for All!

Are both versions (DW8 and DWCS3) using the SAME local site?
Look in your
site definition in both versions of DW, and tell us what the
path is to the
local root folder, please.

Online file storage with access control and file manager integrated to APEX website

I have APEX 4.2 website with few user accounts. I would like to share approximately 100 GB of documents to users. Some documents will be public (in some public folder) and everyone with account in my website will be able to download that public files. And some files/folders will be with restricted access and only user with appropriate credentials will be able to download it.
I would like to find some cheap cloud file storage.
Some storage that offers plugin/component = file manager that will be integrated to my APEX website and authentication will be transparent to my users (authentication with some API or URL). Every user will see only his files. I want some ready to use component and call only minimum API.
I would like to integrate that storage to my website or call some user specific URL and redirect my user to some page with file manager.
All files will be read only for all users.
Thanks for some tips

what will you be using for your file manager? Or do you even know yet?
I do not have tons of experience but if I had to come up with a solution I would build the interface with APEX and use the database to store the files inside so you can control access.
You can create a procedure that takes in parameters like username, session id, encrypted session id from the browser cookie and either return the file or give the user an error message letting them know they arent authorized. You could use plugins to give the users a better file managing experience like the 'multiple file upload' plugin that allows AJAX based multiple file uploading.
Id put this on an amazon EC2 cloud micro instance. It's uber cheap.

Xdg-open is opening files with no extension in wine notepad

xdg-open is opening files with no extension in wine notepad. This is really annoying. How can I change it?

Click on "Browse" button at the "Open With" dialog and navigate to the location, where acrord32.exe is located. Preferebly, it should be this location "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" unless you have installed at some customized location. I'm assuming you have installed Reader 9. Once you add Adobe Reader in the open with list, it would continue to appear next time onwards.

[Solved] Auto-open a file manager after mounting with udev rules

Hellooooo,
I followed the udev Wiki for auto mounting USBs and it now works great.
The only problem is: how can I automatically open a file manager of the mounted directory? I tried putting this at the end of the "ACTION=="add"," section in "/etc/udev/rules.d/11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rules" but for some reason nothing happens:
, RUN+="/usr/bin/dolphin /media/%E{dir_name}"
Even if I just try to open dolphin with the "ACTION=="add"," section nothing happens either way.
So what am I doing wrong?
Last edited by algorythm (2011-05-05 12:35:56)

In that case, the best choice in my opinion is to use Automounting UDisks Wrappers :
devmon is a script developed by IgnorantGuru. He left Arch Linux, but the package in AUR is still there and is the last version. For a future new release, it should be available at his blog site. The script is distro independent.
My udisksvm script, in its default state, doesn't launch a file manager after automounting, but it is not a big thing to let the automounting be done and then manually open a file manager (a new entry in the traydevice right-click menu can also be added for that).
If you can do without automounting, there is also the bashmount script from jnguyen.
All these scripts don't require writing any udev rules, they use udisks instead.
I hope you could find something you like and which will suit your wishes.
