Star Writer - File - Save As - save as type. No menu of file types
Problem
When trying to save a file as specific type, I am NOT presented with a menu of file types.
Background
Version 9.1.10 (build 9399), running on Windows XP.
I have tried with New file, Opened .odt file, Opened .doc file - all same.
This is the first time I've tried to use this feature since installing Star Office.
Request
Recommended configuration settings or fix please?

Version 9.1.10 (build 9399), running on Windows XP.Current version of S9O is 9.1.1 (build 9420). 9.2 should be out late December early January.
When trying to save a file as specific type, I am NOT presented with a menu of file types.Your build and number information suggest that your installation may be corrupt.
In Options under StarOffice > General, there is an Open/Save dialogs option "Use StarOffice dialogs". Change it and see what happens.

Nowhere to type file name in save as dialog, is this normal . . .
Hello;
here's the problem;
I'm having some problems with my main worksation and I'm going to probably rebuild it from scratch
(HDD problem & an AVG Baked registry & network stack)
so I've started by installing AA 2.0 (Full) onto one of my backup systems
& will follow with AA3.0 (Upgrade) if I can verify that the system can do the job for me
here's the problem;
I installed AA2.0 which is needed to get AA3.0(upgrade) to install
but I haven't activated or registered yet because I don't want to waste any activations
if I can't use the system
is it normal for the save as dialog to not have a place to type a file name when AA isn't activated?
System:
HP/Compaq DC7600
P4HT enabled 3.2GHz
2GB DDR2 533MHz RAM
Lots of HDD Space on 5 HDDs

why is my insertion point moved all over the page while I type this in firefox?thanks for the reply:
don't know if this some sort of a display redraw issue:
but if I just hit enter I get the file saved as untitled.wav (which is floating in the middle of the screen not in the correct location)
and the file ends up in "My Music Folder" (which I never use, but can't change folders either)
-good grief I hate M$ for their My . . . crap folders
the system is using similar Intel-GMA integrated graphics as my main workstation
the only difference is processors and the chipset is one generation back
my main workstation has 965ry and the backup has 945g -

How do I write a javascript code to open InDesign File, import Doc, save and export to pdf?
Hi hasvi,
Need Template(.indt), textframes etc for the following script:

app.open(myFile)
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myDocName = myDoc.name;

Need help adding a default file name in a file chooser of save dialog type
I need to create a file chooser with save dialog type, how can I add a highlighted default file name into the File Name textfield? As in Microsoft Word, when you want to save a document, a default file name Doc1.doc will appear in the File name text field of the file chooser even when you change to other directories.
For JRE 1.4.0 you can use this fix:
public class FileChooserFix implements PropertyChangeListener {
private String fileName;
* @see PropertyChangeListener
public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent ev) {
JFileChooser chooser = (JFileChooser)ev.getSource();
if (JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY == chooser.getFileSelectionMode()) {
if (JFileChooser.SELECTED_FILE_CHANGED_PROPERTY.equals(ev.getPropertyName())) {
File selectedFile = (File)ev.getNewValue();
if (selectedFile != null) {
// remember fileName of selected file
fileName = selectedFile.getName();
if (fileName != null &&
JFileChooser.DIRECTORY_CHANGED_PROPERTY.equals(ev.getPropertyName())) {
// reset selected file
File directory = (File)ev.getNewValue();
chooser.setSelectedFile(new File(directory, fileName));
* Convenience method to create a fixed file chooser.
* @return fixed file chooser
public static JFileChooser create() {
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
chooser.addPropertyChangeListener(new FileChooserFix());
return chooser; -
PS CS4, refuses to save one file type .psd to another file type .jpg. How to resolve? Desperate!
I open a .psd file, make changes to eliminate layers and reduce the file size to then save as a smaller .jpg file. However, when the drop down window pops up to select what file extension I would choose, it immediately flashes closed with out time to make a selection .jpg or otherwise. No matter how many times I try to "beat" the window and make a selection, it's faster than me and it closes. It refuses to allow me to change the file type extension. This problem seems to have developed after downloading recent updates to the program. It's preventing me from doing my work. I need help fast. Can anyone help? I've already tried deleting the program from my system and reloading it, but the problem didn't go away.
Other minor glitch happened at the same time. Any file or group of files opened now fill the screen and are anchored together. I have to go to the menu every time and select 'Float all Windows', and if any other file is opened during the same work session, all previous files will become full screen images again and anchor themselves together again, so need to go to the menu and select 'Float all Windows' AGAIN. It's a real pain. I've tried looking in the preferences and didn't find a solution to the problem. Anyone have any suggestions? This problem is minor thought, compared to the first one listed which has crippled me moving forward in my work.
Thanks to anyone who can help....Hi Noel,
Thanks for trying to assist me. Below is the system info you requested, but to my knowledge, I haven't consciously loaded anything other than a few fonts beyond the original program and any subsequent updates from Adobe. I did forget to list earlier that I'm working on WIN 7 OS. I hope this helps...

Can Save and Save As dialog boxes be modified to show fewer file type options in CS3?
I'm looking to simplify the choices for the Save and Save As commands to the just the formats that I use on a regular basis to make some repetitive file processing tasks go faster. Is this possible?
Thanks for your help.
mScripting can save to Folders relative to the File’s location or to absolute Folder-paths, so that may be beneficial in Your case.
Scripting can also amend the name a File is saved as, one could even number copies progressively.
It’s naturally easiest (to create, at least) to make one Script per file-format/target-location/name-change, because otherwise creating a dialog is necessary.
The thing I have to admit here, though, is that it would probably take a little time to grasp the matter (JavaScript specifically) – so if You should be under time-pressure already it may not be very useful in the short run. -
Adobe Reader could not open 'aw14lookbook.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

Excel 2010 missing default suggested file name in Save As dialog box
I’m using Excel 2010 running on Windows 7 (32 bit). When I open a certain file which produces the following message: "A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates", and then go to “Save As” (or “Save”) the
file, the default suggested file name is missing (blank). This didn't occur in previous versions of Excel.
In previous versions, Excel would automatically populate the original file name in to the File Name field.
I have searched all over the net, looking for a way to change Excel so that it will once again populate the file name in this situation.
To reproduce:
Create a new blank workbook
save as type “Web Page”, (i.e. File name: “Blank Example.html”)
Close workbook
In windows, rename file from .html to .xls (i.e. rename “Blank Example.html” to “Blank Example.xls”)
In Excel open renamed file (i.e. “Blank Example.xls”) and click “Yes” when prompted with the “A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates” message.
Do a “Save As” and you will notice that the File Name is blank. In previous versions, this field would contain the current workbook file name
(i.e. “Blank Example.xls”)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.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.

Finder changes the file name in Save/Save As dialogue box
Whenever I save or save as a file, the dialogue box opens, but when I make the file list active when using a mouse, the file name I click to changes the file name I am saving. I simply want to activate the file list window so I can find the right folder. For example if I am looking for a folder called "Receipts" I want to be able to click on the file list window to activate it and then type the first 2 letters of the folder-- "re" and then save the file in that folder. The finder keeps changing the name of the current file whenever I click on one of the "greyed-out" file names? This doesn't make sense unless of course I want to replace that file.
Is there a shortcut that makes the file list window in the dialogue box active while in the SAVE/SAVE AS dialogue box??Yes, this example of horrible UI design has been a problem since "Panther". It illustrates what happens when you try to copy UI behaviour from another OS, do it poorly, and end up with a mess. In 10.3 and 10.4, the combination of the renaming behaviour with the default "replace" selection in the resulting save can result in data loss.
Compared to the old Mac OS where a tab would flip the focus between the text field for the file name and the file browser, the current behaviour either doesn't allow enough keyboard access to controls, or with "full access" enabled, too many to cycle through easily. The inability to switch focus to the file browser using the mouse (depending on the view) is a horrible productivity loss. Having to recheck the filename before saving is a horrible productivity loss. Since there is no "undo" for the renaming in most files, having to retype the name is again, a horrible productivity loss.
If they had done it right (a simple change, like requiring a modifier to rename), users would probably welcome the "rename" feature as a useful addition. Instead, it has the feel of something a junior Windows-trained programmer slipped in past their supervisor.
In short, I am not aware of any workaround or hack to avoid this "renaming" behaviour. I doubt it will do any good since people have been doing so since "Panther", but you could try submitting feedback:

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.

File Format Plugin - "Save As" vs "Save"....
I have a format plugin that I would like to have triggered with File->SAVE.
With only one layer in the document, Ctrl-S (Save) *does* call my plugin. So far so good.
BUT if the document has more than one layer, then Ctrl-S pops up a dialog, with .PSD as the default file type. i.e., "Save" behaves like "Save As". Thats not what I want.
Lets say that my own file format plugin can handle multiple layers.
Any ideas on how I can get "Save" to save, without popping up a dialog each time? I looked through the documentation, for a way to specify my custom file format as a multi-layer file format. No luck. Any clues are appreciated.
Thanks.Might You have set »Append File Extension« to »Never« in Preferences - File Handling by any Chance?

when selecting a link to a pdf file , I'm only given the choice to save it ..not view it ? How do I change that ..?
That depends on how the server sends the file.
If this is a MIME (content) type that is supported by other software then you can open the file automatically.
If the file is send with a generic content type like application/octet-stream or as Content-Disposition:attachment then you can only save the file.

Updated to Oct 2014 version of photoshop CC. since that time cannot save ANY work. I can work on files but when I hit 'save as" every time it says "photoshop has quit working and needs to close." Need solution now.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Save and load public/private RSA key on file
hi
i'm triyng to save and load an RSA key to a file
i generate the keys:
KeyPairGenerator generator=null;
KeyPair coppia=null;
PrivateKey c_privata=null;
PublicKey c_pubblica=null;
generator=KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA");
//imposto la dimensione
generator.initialize(1024);
//genero le 2 chiavi
coppia=generator.genKeyPair();
//imposto la privata
c_privata=coppia.getPrivate();
//imposo la pubblica
c_pubblica=coppia.getPublic();
//i save the key
FileOutputStream file = new FileOutputStream("key");
file.write(c_pubblica.getEncoded());
file.close();and then i use another program that imports the key:
Key chiave=null;
FileInputStream file=new FileInputStream("key");
byte[]byte_chiave=new byte[162];
X509EncodedKeySpec chiave_spec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(byte_chiave);
KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
chiave = keyFactory.generatePublic(chiave_spec);but when i try to reload he key i get:
java.security.InvalidKeyException: IOException : DER input, Integer tag error
where am i wrong?
thankssorry...
this is the correct code:
Key chiave=null;
FileInputStream file=new FileInputStream(path);
byte[]byte_chiave=new byte[file.available()];
System.out.println("leggo: "+file.read(byte_chiave));
X509EncodedKeySpec chiave_spec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(byte_chiave);
KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");

Adding suffix to jpg file name? Save for web?
Hi,
I'm very new to Applescript but, with the help of a few others (thanks H), I've managed to successfully write a script to produce various versions of a selected set of photos. However what I would also like to be able to do is to add a suffix of the letter "w" to all the photos which end up in my Webpics folder and the letter "t" to those which end up in the Webthumbs folder. i.e. abc.jpb becomes abcw.jpg and then abcwt.jpg.
I'm sure this isn't hard but I've had a good look through various forums and tried loads of different things and still seem to be failing. If anyone can help I'd be hugely grateful. My script is below.
Also, does anyone know if it is possible incorporate a script for Photoshop / ImageReady which does the "save for web" thing? i.e. so that the photos in the webpics/webthumbs folders have been saved for web. At the moment I use an ImageReady droplet which does the job but I'd love to be able to script it in.
Many thanks, Eddy

Mac OS X (10.4.4)Ok, here is your script, not tested, but seems like it should work. The idea of shortening this script is that instead of duplicating files (simpler but longer, and you may face a timeout if there are a lot of files), you can pass the original file along to your script, that'll resize it and save the new version in folder 1, then resize it again and save the newer version in folder 2.
Make a copy of the original files before you start testing
Rookie Developer Hint : Slip in a display dialog followed by a return when testing to check the intermediate output.
Return stops your script where you slip it.
