Stop the default-open-file-to-fullscreen madness!

arggggg!
i can't seem to figure out how to turn this off in every cs app i've worked in!
first, it was opening files to tabs, which i figure out how to turn off. thank god!
then, everytime i open a file, it opens to fullscreen -- what is that all about? how is that useful, esp. set as default? plz help me disable it!
also, why does the file window of dreamweaver disappear everytime i click out of it into another app? i *want* to see the files, just like i could in cs3 and earlier versions! i don't want this menu to keep flick back on and off either whenever i move off dreamweaver, which is annoying!
one other minor thing i noticed in dreamweaver: i used to choose the text and click on the color palette in the properties panel. i can't simply set color text anymore --- i have to make a style for it? is that right? if that is true, then i'm p*ssed: i don't want you to tell me how to write my code and set color to my text!
i have to say i am more irked than pleased with cs4 so far. help me change my attitude towards it. adobe? anybody?
adobe, if you're gonna add new functions and features to upgrades, i suggest you make them as new preference items. if i'm gonna dish out lots clams to use your software, plz at least let me have the pleasure of choosing to enable/disable them at my discretion. thank you.
(yes, i'm a little angry. you can say i'm having a hard time adjusting to the cs4 changes and it's affecting my workflow --- it's the little things that matter! :-p )

(bump)
it's been a year (almost to the day) since i posted originally.
anyone else experiencing this annoyance? it's not just fireworks that's doing this. all cs4 apps i work in do this!

Adjust default 'open file' window

Hi, I am a MAC fanatic.... I work all day on my MAC 27" and am constantly opening files....
But how do I customise the 'open file' window. Every time I open a file I have to increase the size of the window, change the view and then look for my files.... is there a way to set the default view to what I would wish it to be?
I have enclosed a screen shot of the default open file window.... I would like a bigger window...... and be able to see 'list view' as opposed to icons each time.
All suggestions would be useful....
Thank you....

I don't know how to have the Open window resized by default. However, for the list view just click on the List button in the Open window toolbar:
Once you select the List view in the Open window it should be the default from then on.

Using parallels how do you stop the default from opening in excel mac

I am using parralells with my mac book pro, attempting to open a file in windows excel but the file keeps opeing in excel for mac,
I had this working before but cannot seem to make this work now argg
any help is welcome

That is a simple WIndows setting you need to adjust. Your Parallels seems to have changed the default "open with" program in your windows installation. The way to fix it depends upon your version of Windows, but you can probably get there my holding down teh shift key and clicking the right mouse button on the file you are trying to open. Doing that should add a new line to the right-click menu "Open with..." select that and in the pop-up select your windows app you want to use, and check the checkbox to make it the default app for that file extension.

I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Help please

I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible. To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an applicaiton.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate

How to change the default "Safe" files in Safari?

I would really appreciate if anybody could teach me how to change the default "Safe" files using AppleScripts, Folder Actions or .plist files. I really would like to have some files to open automatically after download, specially .pps files, and safari doesn't recognize such files as "safe". I tried to find out reading the help files but got lost.
I posted a reply in an old topic for somebody who seemed to know, but it was not related to that topic, so I decided to open a new one.
I'll be gratefull for any help. Thanks.

Changing default open file location

Hi all,
In Outlook 2010, is there anyway to change the default folder that is opened by explorer when you want to open any pst files?
I have tried the registry changes listed in other forums but this only changes the default save location. I have managed to change the default open location for Word, Excel etc but not Outlook.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
Do you mean you want to change the default location when you click File > Open > Open Outlook Data File?
We can achieve this goal by modifying the registry, I managed to do this in my environment. Please follow the steps below:
Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. For added protection,
back up the registry before you modify it.
Locate the registry path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook
Add the ForcePSTPath registry value:
Value name: ForcePSTPath
Value type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
Value: path to your storage folder
Restart your Outlook to check the result.
For more information, please refer:

Changing the default opener in Bridge

My Bridge has decided to change the default opener from Photoshop CS4 to either Quicktime , Paint or Dreamweaver.
So now I cannot preview a picture in Bridge and then open it in Photoshop
Can anyone tell me how to change the default back to Photoshop.

I feel like we are not having the same discussion as I am repeating myself. Either I am misinterpreting your problem, or you are misinterpreting the suggestions.
Have you opened Windows Explorer and click one Tools? Should be a tab that says File Type. Look what the default "opens with" setting is for jpeg files. You want it to be CS4. Bridge is not a separate program, but subprogram of photoshop.
Also, did you go to Bridge and click on edit/preferences/file type associations? Is CS4 shown there a program for jpeg?

Changing the default open folder

Does anyone know how I can change the default open folder in Illustrator? It keeps going to the Documents folder when I try to open a file and I'd like to change it to another folder.

Illy defaults to / recognises the *last* opened folder unless that's been shifted or some kind of housekeeping (such as clear all history) has been undertaken. In which case, and on first opening, it will open the default folder which will be 'My Documents' .

[SOLVED] Problems changing the max open files attribute (ulimit)

P.S. I also tried adding 'ulimit -n 4096' to ~/.bashrc
but then I get:
bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
so should I add it to the global profile file
(etc/profile right?) or to /root/.bashrc or what?

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1. An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6. If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates. If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

Edit the Default CSS file

I want to know if there is a way to edit the default CSS file for Webi. The reason I am asking is because of the way in which hyperlinks are formatted. When I go into the document properties and change the formatting (color only), it does not update on my actual report. Also, I want to be able to remove the underlines from all hyperlinks without having to go in and do it manually using inline CSS.
Is there a default CSS file out there that can be edited? Where is it located and how to I ensure it's used in all my reports? Thanks.

Hi Keith,
Following is the location of the CSS file in 4.0
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\images\WebIDefaultStyleSheet.css and
Note that for the BI 4.0, you would not be able to update the default style after the document creation. If you want to modify default style, you must :
1. update the .css file stored in the images folder of your server installation or rich client and
2. then create a new webi document to see your style modification.
Hope it helps.
