The program selected for NZB files doesn't show in the open with/download dialog box even though it is the default in Options window - Applications panel

Grabbit is listed as the default program for opening NZB files in the Applications panel. When I try to open an NZB file it is not automatically selected, nor is it on the list of optional programs. Consequently, I have to click through the list of installed programs in Windows and point Firefox to grabbit.exe.
Although the file is listed as Grabbit NZB in the Applications panel rather than just "NZB", I didn't have a bit of a problem when I had XP installed.

1) Well, I can set IE as the default program for html/htm files, as well as any other browsers/text editors. There is no issue in setting the default program for html/htm files. This issue is- htm/html files can't be opened when I click on 'open' option
(like temporary internet files get opened) just to view the files  in IE when I set IE as default program for htm/html files. Please note that this issue is only when I click 'open' just to view the file. If I download and save the file, the file opens
in IE perfectly when IE is set as default program. 
2) Regarding clicking 'open' button:- I want that if default program for opening htm/html files is set as IE, when I click the open button, the file should get opened in IE (as temporary internet files open). This is not happening when I set IE as default
program for htm/html files. 
3) Files do get opened when I click 'open' button in IE, but ONLY WHEN default program is some other browser/text editor. And yes they get opened in the browser/text editor which is THEN set as default program.
4)Yes, I've tried turning protected mode off, lower the security level, set custom level to medium/medium-low but no benefit as such.
5) If I download/save the file, and then open the file, with default program set as IE, the files get opened successfully. I think the issue is that IE is not opening htm/html files as temporary internet files  (when user just tries to view/open the
attachment rather than download/save it) when default program is set as IE itself. Is this expected behavior?

  • When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background. i am on a Windows 7

    When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background.
    i am on a Windows 7 professional PC, 64-bit.

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • Artists showing up as Various artists when I sync music with my iPhone 4S, even though in iTunes the song tags have been changed

    My artists are showing up as Various artists when I sync music with my iPhone 4S, even though in iTunes the song tags have been changed.
    Am I missing something?
    For example, I have 3 songs that are part of a compilation CD. I've change them to no longer being part of a compilation, and changes all of the tags of Arist and Album artist to the artists name, however they still show up as 'Various Artists' on my iPhone.
    Any ideas?

    You may find you need to remove the songs and then add them back again.

  • Firefox preview for pdf files doesn't show certain Cyrillic scripts.

    Since pdf preview support was added in Firefox I can't find a solution for the missing Cyrillic letters in the preview of the pdfs which the software in my company generates.
    Other pdf software/browsers with preview don't have issues with the Cyrillic script regardless of localization and OS as the fonts are embedded in the pdf.
    Can you please help with finding some documentation to use as a reference point for finding the solution for this issue?

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Thunderbird automatically upgraded to version 24.6.0. Now, when you start it, the program freezes for about 15 seconds before showing mails, etc.

    Annoying that the default option is to automatically upgrade, and this automatic upgrade then makes the program 10x worse.

    Thanks for everyone's help, btw. Hopefully this will help others who encounter a similar problem.

  • Options window - Applications panel File Config

    Hi there,
    I would like to know how to modify the application panel via config file like preferences in Prefs.js in order to deploy firefox with default profile configuration.
    Are those settings visible in sqlite files located on the profile?
    Thank you

    Sorry, I seemed to have overlooked that in the second link.
    If there are any extensions (I don't see any in the System Details you copied over - if that is the case then please skip down to the next section), you can try [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] to see if that fixes it. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes). If the dialog appears fine in Safe Mode, please follow the article [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] - if you have a lot of extensions it might be better to disable half of the extensions to see if that fixes the problem (if it does, the problematic extension is in the half you disabled, otherwise it is in the half that is still enabled).
    Since Firefox works fine in a new profile, an alternative could be to transfer all of the important data (bookmarks, passwords, etc.) to the new profile. Please see [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]], or [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] for more information on what to transfer. Be sure not to copy over the ''mimeTypes.rdf'' file in case that file corrupts the new profile.
    You can set that new profile to always run by checking "Use the selected profile without asking at startup" in the profile manager. Please see [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]] if you are not sure how to access this feature.

  • Only a few songs show up in a playlist on my iPhone, even though all of the songs in the playlist are on my phone. How do I fix this?

    I uploaded a playlist onto my iPhone.  After going into Music, and into the specific playlist, only one song showed up in the playlist.  After that, I decided to search my phone to see if any of the other songs had made it on there.  All of the songs that were supposed to be on my playlist made it onto my phone.  Why are they not showing up in my playlist if they are on the phone? Please help me!

  • When I click on the Menu or Choose the Drop down for CC, it doesn't show the options

    I've been having this issue for a while now since the last update. When I click on the top nav options or try to select "CC" or "BCC" when creating an email. The outline of the dropdown box shows, however the listed options don't show or it takes a minute for them to show. I have attached a screenshot of what I'm seeing. I typed out a sentence and right clicked, but the options don't appear, only the outline of a box.

    ''Zenos [[#answer-677769|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    Is there any sign of a highlight moving up and down the menu? Could the text be there but with white letters on a white background?
    </blockquote>
    I don't see any "highlight" moving up and down. Sometimes I have to guesstimate where the "paste without formatting" is, so I know the text is there and clickable. Sometimes the text does show, but it takes a WHILE.

  • Since upgrading to version 32, firefox always opens old tabs when starting, even though i do not have this option set. Version 33.0.3 does the same.

    When I updated Firefox to version 32, it started to always show my tabs from the last session when it is started. I tried changing the option "when Firefox starts" to all three of the available choices. None of these changed the behavior. It still opens the tabs that were last opened. I waited for the next release (33.0.3) but the behavior is still the same. I would like Firefox to open to my selected home page.
    I'm running Windows 7 Pro.

    One possibility is that Firefox keeps crashing during shutdown, and so Firefox is recovering from a crash every time. But if you can see that it is shutting down normally in your testing, that probably isn't it.
    Sometimes external software will create or update an optional settings file named user.js. For some reason, one of the things that often shows up in there is a preference to restore your previous session just once. However, because Firefox uses user.js to override your normal settings every time it starts, that then turns into a permanent change. To check for this and remove any user.js file you find, try this support article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    Any luck?

  • Advanced Selection for Source File + SourceFileSize = invalid file size?

    Hi !
    I have a File Adapter using FTP protocol. I've turn on all Adapter-Specific Message Attributes, including SourceFileSize. I've activated the Advanced Selection for Source File, and entered several patterns.
    When I see my payload via the monitor, I get a "-" in the SourceFileSize value.
    <sap:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" name="SourceFileSize">-</sap:Record>
    If I disable the "Advanced Selection for Source File", the file size is ok.
    Is it just me?

  • File Adapter: Advanced selection for source file

    Hi Experts,
    I am doing file(Idoc format) to IDoc scenario. In my scenario I am getting files in three different formats (ex: abc.dat, xyz.dat, 123.edi). My communication channel (sender file adapter) should poll for every 30 mins, picks up the files and map them to Idoc without any mapping.
    Need following clarifications:
         1. Should I create 3 communication channels to pick up 3 different type files? Or should I use the Advanced selection for source file to pick up them with only one CC?
         2. If there is no mapping how should I proceed in this case?
    Regards,
    Rams

    >>1. Should I create 3 communication channels to pick up 3 different type files? Or should I use the Advanced selection for source file to pick up them with only one CC?
    Not required.. if all the files are from the same directory then u can specify .  in the file name parameter.. but make sure that only these 3 file types are places in the directory... if this is not the case you can use Advannced Selection... check my Wiki [Single Sender File CC For Multiple Directories|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/SingleSenderFileCCForMultipleDirectories]
    >>2. If there is no mapping how should I proceed in this case?
    Mappiing is required only if the source and the target structure are different.. if u send the file with the IDocc XML format mapping is not required...

  • How to get file download dialog box in IE 6.0 for .CSV files?

    In our Java application, when we download .csv file (by clicking a tool bar button or menu item) in IE 5.5, it brings up the download dialog box and when we click the open button it opens the file in a seperate browser window but after migrating to IE 6.0 it doesn't bring the download dialog box and we are not able to open the excle sheet in a new browser window.
    We tried downloading .csv file in IE 6.0 by changing its extension(such as .cs1 and .xls) even then it did not work.We also tried associating CSV type of extension with "Microsoft Excel Comma Separated Values File" in the Windows folder options (Windows Explorer->tools->folder options->file types(tab)), which did not work.
    Please respond if you have come across this kind of issue and solution for the same.
    Thanks in Advance

    This has nothing to do with Java. It's Microsoft
    setting for known file type. IE is responding to the
    setting which will automatically download known file
    type (MIME type).
    To show the "Save As" file dialog, you have to do the
    following (for each file type)
    1. open Window Explorer
    2. click on Tool-->"Folder Option"
    3. click on the "File Type" tab
    4. select the extension and then click on the
    "Advance" button
    5. Check the "Confirm open after download" checkbox
    6. Click OK
    IE should now display the "Save As" file dialog for
    that extension. Remeber, you have to to this for all
    extension you want to see a "file dialog" pop up.Unfortunately this is not the only cause. Even with this box checked, downloading java source files from the pages of The Java Tutorial causes them to open in the most recent IE - I (and others also) don't get the save/open dialog box. Java source files downloaded from (some) other websites result in the save/open dialog box. I believe that one of the security changes that MS made in IE's handling of files is the cause. The setting of content-disposition by the server appears to be the key, according to MSDN information.

  • I purchased the design suite for PC but would like to install my second licensed download on a mac.  Can I do this?

    I purchased the design suite for PC but would like to install my second licensed download on a mac.  Can I do this?

    Your Windows license might only be installed on a Mac if you install Windows emulation software.
    While it might be possible to swap to the Mac platform, which depends on which version is involved, that means giving up the Windows license.
