Standard-Plugin for file-type

Hello,
how can I define, that txt-files are opend with an certain pluginI I have several plugins for txt-files, but there's one I use mostly and so I want to define this plugin to be used when I drop files via drag&drop in the dataportal.
thanks
Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,
If you're dragging and dropping from a yellow Search Area folder, then you can configure the order that DataPlugins are tried for a TXT file. Choose the NAVIGATOR menu "Settings >> My DataFinder >> Configure..." to pop up the "Configure My DataFinder" dialog. Then choose the 3rd "File Extensions" tab and click on the *.txt file extension in the top left part of that dialog. Finally move the available DataPlugin names up and down with the blue up and down arrow icons in the top right of the dialog. The DataPlugin name at the top of the list will be tried first.
If instead you're dragging and dropping from a gray non-Search Area folder, then your options are limited. You can definitely right-click on the file and choose the context menu "Open with..." and then select the desired DataPlugin to use in the import, but this DataPlugin selection will not "stick", it will just be used to import the data file you right-clicked on. You might try unregistering all the TXT DataPlugins, then re-registering the one you want to be the default DataPlugin first and re-registering the other DataPlugins afterwards. I think the first DataPlugin that was registered is the default DataPlugin for that file extension.
Ask if you have further questions,

Changing The Preview Image for File Types

Is there any way for me to change the image that shows up as the preview for file types? For example, I use OpenOffice and all my .doc files show up as blank pages of paper, which I don't like. I've tried to change this to no avail, from using the "Get Info" window to within the program itself. Any help?

If you have an image that you want to use, do a Get Info on it, select the image at the top of the box and then copy from the Edit menu. Then on your OpenOffice document do a Get Info and paste the image into the little image icon at the top of the Get Info box.

Plugin for WMF type files

Hello:
Does anyone know if there are plugins for the vector type WMF files that can make it possible to load these in PE4? Other raster graphics applications are able to load wmf files. Why not PE4?

Googling, I found this...

Download and extract the file (double click on it): WMFFORMA.8bi
Then, copy the file there :

Using X11 application as default for file type?

Hello,
I wanted to know if it's possible to set an X11 application as default application to open a certain file type.
I tried the "open with" option on a file type, but the X11 application I wanted to associate to was unavailable (impossible to select) in the file explorer window.
Thanks.

Unix executables are not usually "visible." "Standard" OS X applications use the ".app" extension, but Unix executables do not. I suspect that's why you are having the problem. Making the association through OS X may not be possible.

Changing default open with for file type for all users

hello
can I change the default app to open a specific file type for all users and not juist for my user?
i am admin for my mac mini.
tnx
gil

What applications are offered for open with depends on the application itself informing the system it can open certain files, plus your own custom selections for opening files. Evidently the alternate app you want to use does not claim to be able to open the files you are assigning it. If you have a plist editor and know how to use it you could edit the info.plist file inside the application itself to add the file type you want to the application's declaration of file types it will open. Then restart so the system will read that declaration. I think it would be far easier to simply launch the application and then drop a file you want it to open onto its icon in the Dock.

Need information for file type conversion from Oracle

Hi,
I need a scenario where there is third party tool which supports file types (.lnb (Link Notebook Chart),.anb(Analyst Notebook Analytical Chart),.anx(Analyst Notebook Exchange Chart),.tcv(Text Chart Visualisation))
I am having a Oracle database where I want to create a file from a Table so that the third party tool could understand
the file supported types.
Any help will be benefitial for me
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
If I use as:
DECLARE
fileHandler UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
BEGIN
fileHandler := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('test_dir', 'test_file.tcv', 'W');
UTL_FILE.PUTF(fileHandler, 'Writing TO a file\n');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(fileHandler);
EXCEPTION
WHEN utl_file.invalid_path THEN
raise_application_error(-20000, 'ERROR: Invalid PATH FOR file.');
END;
If I use the file naming convention i.e extension type as .tcv will it support ?
Thanks and Regards

How to rename "Kind" for file types

In finder, "Kind" describes file type. With my defaults
.doc kind is "Microsoft Word 97 - 2004 document"
.xls kind is "Microsoft Excel 97-2004 workbook"
.ppt kind is "Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2004 presentation"
.pdf kind is "Portable Document Format (PDF)"
and so forth.
I wish to edit the string describing the file type.
Where is this string stored? How can I edit it?
I am not trying to change the associated application, just the description under "Kind" in Finder for that application, or for the file type if that's how it's stored.
It was easy in Windows XP, surely there is a way in OS-X.
Thank you.

Good answer, Barney, it worked. Thank you.
For anyone trying to do this, here's more exactly what I did to change the "Kind" description for ".doc" files:
In Finder, Applications folder, Microsoft Office 2008 folder, control-click Microsoft Word.app, select "Show Package Contents". In Contents folder, select info.plist.
Open info.plist using Property List Editor.app, available on the OS-X distribution disks in the developer section.
Next to "Root", option-click the disclosure triangle to see all values.
Scan the values, edit the values by clicking on them.
Warning: follow these instructions at your own risk.

Setting software preference for file types

Hi all
Can someone please tell me how you set a preference for different file types? For example, I want all .avi files to play using VLC player and not Quicktime. However, my computer automatically wants to use Quicktime. How do I change this? I have looked in Preferences and couldn't see an option.
Thanks
Steven

Select an .avi file via the Finder and use Get Info for the file.
At Open With, select the VCL player and below "use this application to open all documents like this", select Change All.

[CS3 INX] Values for file type in LnkI attribute?

I've poked around in the C++ headers and all the relevant documentation I can find but can't find any definition of the possible values for the "file type" field in the Link Info array in CS3 INX files.
Anyone know here I can find the list of possible values?
I'm generating INX files with links and need to be able to generate the appropriate values based on the link targets.
Thanks,
Eliot

Hi
Pls tell me how did you resolve this issue. I am also facing the same problem.

PSE 6 with Raw 4.4.1 plugin, unrecognized file type

Mac OS X 10.5.2, Photoshop Elements 6. Downloaded / ran Camera_Raw_4_4_1.dmg and put Camera Raw.Plugin in root\lib\Application Support\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats\. When I try and open a *.CR2 image, I get "... does not recognize this file type", but when I select <Photoshop Elements, About plug-in, Camera Raw...> it recognizes version 4.4.1. Same result using Bridge. Within PSE, If I select <File, Open> with All Documents Enabled / Photoshop Raw Format, *.CR2 opens as a dot pattern. Camera Raw Format I get "... file-format module cannot parse the file". I'm lost. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks,

Good call, the file was toast. I'd used Image Capture (resident with OS) rather then the EOS Utility to download images. Using software that came with the camera everything works fine. Really appreciate your help.

Standard report for Activity types in REM scenario.

Hi PP Gurus,
Is there any standard report like MCRP, MCP6, MF12 in REM scenario to capture time booked for Activity types? Please revert.
Thanks & Regards,
Abu Arbab

Hi R. Brahmankar,
Thanks for your prompt reply. We need to track Activity types booked in terms of quantity. We checked all the transaction code that you suggested.
The track of Activity type is also possible in standard SAP system provided we do Separated Backflush only.
T-code- MF12:
Field Name- Production Activities:*
Production activity posting in worklist
If you select this indicator, the system only displays the document logs for which production activities still have to be posted.
The selected documents provide you with a worklist which you process using the separate backflush transaction.
Thanks & Regards,
Abu Arbab

Why won't Windows 7 permit my CC programs to be the default programs for file types?

I just uninstalled all of my CS6programs to free up disk space. But now....Windows 7 will not associate JPG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, INDD, etc. (the typical file types) with my CC programs, -- all of the file types which had previously been associated with my CS6 programs!! Don't misunderstand: I can open the actual file(s) just fine from within the programs themselves, but if I am browsing through my folders, and select a file and try to open from Windows Explorer, it has now been associated with Windows Photo Viewer. And when I try to manually associate the file types with my CC programs, not only are the programs not amongst the choices, Photoshop and InDesign won't remain as my chosen program when I browse through to fine the EXE file!! This is NOT good. This is going to seriously eat into the efficiency of my work flow.

Windows only stores a file type connection for one application. It sounds like your installation of the CC apps didn't update the file type to themselves so when you uninstalled your CS6 apps, Windows just disconnected the association of the file types completely.
What you'll need to do is either reinstall the CC apps to make the connection again or you can manually reassign the file types to the associated program. Watching the video here, http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/change-which-programs-windows-uses-by-default, will show you how to change the file associations.
