Unable to open ASL or ATN files by double click, windows error!

I installed CS4 extended (I previously had PS7) and everything worked fine.  I could double click to open styles and actions, the file types were set to open with photoshop.  Today I deleted my PS7 program and tried to click on one of my styles in the styles folder in CS4 and I got a Windows Error stating that Windows doesn't recognize the file type.  I tried to manually select for it to open with photoshop but can't get it to select it as a program,  If I'm in CS4 and go to Load styles it will pull it up like normal but I can't double click to open it anymore.  Can anyone tell me what I need to change to get this feature back?  It's annoying also because when you see a style or action in it's folder it no longer had the PS icon, it has the IE icon.  Thanks so much!

Hi Hunt!  Well this is what's odd, I can load them perfectly through the Actions palette.  I used to be able to double click the icon of the action that I wanted to use and it would load it for me.  I am a digital scrapbook designer and use actions and styles a lot so I normally have the folder open and can click on the one I want faster then to load it through the palettes.    About the PS icon when I browse for the program I want to open the files, I can see the PS icon but when I click on it to select the program for some reason it selects Internet Exloror instead.  I don't know why it won't select the PS file?  Thanks so much!

  • Open a camera raw file by double clicking it in Windows Explorer

    I am running Lightroom 1.3.1 on a personal computer running Windows XP. Is it possible to double click open a camera's raw file (in my case it is a Canon camera CR2 file) that I can see within an open folder in Windows Explorer, and have the Lightroom application start up to display the image?
    I tried to "associate a file type to a program application" by right clicking the raw file, choosing Open With, Choose Program, I could not find Lightroom under the default list Other Programs so I browsed to the LR application that was found in the Programs folder to select it, and then I chose "always use this selected program to open this kind of file".
    Now when I open a folder in Windows Explorer using the icon types display, I see an icon with an "A" for Adobe showing up for all of the raw files in that folder, so it appears to be associating the file correctly to the LR application. However when I double click on a raw file to open it there is an error message that comes back stating the program is "not a valid Win32 application". Subsequently the file does not open up to view the image.

    The simple answer is No. So remove your association of images from the "open with" Lightroom. It does not work that way and never will.
    As you may know, Lightroom is a program that allows you to manage your images and a key part of its operation is a database file; So when you start Lightroom, you cannot even get it to open an image file directly from disc; in other words it does not allow you to "browse" for images and display them. (use some other program to do that, e.g. FastStone image viewer. I think it will display Canon CR2 files, it does work for Nikon's nef files.)
    The key to understanding Lightroom, is that you create a catalog file ( the database) and then import pictures into that database. Then, within Lightroom, you can browse through your pictures in the Library module; (and of course you can do a lot more than that in the Develop module etc).

  • Can't open InDesign and PPT files by double-clicking on them IN A FOLDER

    PPT is MS Office 2004, all other MS programs ok. InDesign is CS4. Files are not corrupt, because they open on two more computers. The computer is brand new. I first installed Office, then CS4. The applications open, but the files don't open when I double-click on them IN A FOLDER. If I go to Open and select the file in the folder, then it opens. If I double-click on it IN A FOLDER, it doesn't open. I tried to do the Info panel thing, where you pick the program for the file, and that didn't work. Also, if I drag the file to the desktop, and double-click on it, it will open. A kind volunteer support person said there was an article about this in MACWorld in Dec. 2009, but I tried the suggestions and it still doesn't work. Basically, I need to use InDesign everyday for world, so this is a major problem.

    I have a client with a similar issue regarding InDesign CS4. When double-clicking InDesign files on the server, the InDesign application will launch but the document will not open. Opening the document using the Open command in the File menu in InDesign works fine. This issue does not occur in any other CS4 application. To further complicate the matter, another user at the same location running the same version of the Mac OS (10.6.2) and CS4 does not have this issue. I have tried a fresh install of Mac OS X 10.6.2 and CS4 but the issue persists. I have tried creating a new user account and using the authentication credentials of the user that doesn't have this issue to connect to the server on the problem computer but still the issue persists. Prior to doing the fresh install, I swapped the hard drives between the two computers, but the problem stayed with the hard drive, not the computer, which is what prompted me to perform the fresh install.
    Have you come across any new information?

  • Adobe X: Can't open multiple files by double-clicking

    I have Adobe Reader version 10.1.0.534 running on Windows XP SP3. Once I have a .pdf file open, I cannot open additional .pdf files by double-clicking on their icon from within a folder or on my Desktop. I can only open them by going through the File>Open dialog in Reader or by dragging the icon onto the open Reader window. I can open the first .pdf file by double-clicking, just not any after that. This behavior is new in Adobe X.
    Does anyone else see this?
    Is this by design? If so, why? It seems to be an unneccessary annoyance and a deprecation.
    Thanks

    Hi Valerie,
    What happens if you try to open the same files after launching Acrobat, by choosing File > Open?
    Has anything changed since on your system since you were able to open Acrobat/PDF files by double-clicking?
    For starters, please try repairing the Acrobat installation by choosing Help > Repair Acrobat Installation.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Excel 365 still won't open files by double clicking!

    I know this issue has been posted before but, unlike many, I've started with a clean slate - a brand new machine running Windows 7 Professional SP1. The only Office product I've installed is 365. Like most others, I can open Word and PowerPoint files by
    double clicking but Excel refuses point blank to play ball. I get the "Problem sending data to the program" error.
    I've tried the multitude of "fixes" spread around the forum and the net - to the extent that I can't remember which I've already done when I come across them - and nothing changes.
    Surely (?) someone at Microsoft must have picked up that there is a real problem here, affecting a multitude of users. So why isn't there a unified fix available? Let me put that another way, does anyone know of a unified fix that's available all in one
    place?

    Hi,
    I have definitely heard your frustration, we can try these methods to check if it works.
    Is that error message “There was a problem sending the command to the program”? If so, we can
    turn off the “Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)” setting. Run “Fix it for Windows 7”.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/211494/en-au
    On the other hand, maybe this problem is not in Excel, it is in Windows.  We need to associate the file type with
    corresponding program:
    Right-click the Office       file that you want to open.
    Select Open with,       then click Choose default program.
    Select the appropriate       program to associate with the file, click to select the
    Always use the       selected program to open this kind of file check box, and then click
    OK.
    Next, if the issue still exists, we can choose Run and enter Excel.exe /regserver .This will cause Excel to start up, re-register all of its registry keys, then quit. Now, try opening your Excel files.
    Feel free to post back.

    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
    I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

  • Unable to open USB port device file: Permission denied

    I have an up-to-date system (full "pacman -Syu" yesterday), I am in a "lp" group and the printer (Canon Pixma MP270) started to give "Unable to open USB port device file: Permission denied" error, although in the past it worked and still works in Windows. Doesn't anybody have a similar problem?

    Thanks for reply.
    CUPS worked, I could use CUPS-PDF and localhost:631 was accessible and working.

  • Unable to open a specific xlsx file

    Hello,
    I am unable to open a specific xlsx file on my iPhone 5 which has iOS 7.0.4 in quick look.
    I able to open other .xlsx and this specific file can be opened as a .xls
    Unfortunately, I am unable to post this file due to security issues.
    Would anyone know if there is a reason why I cannot open this as a .xlsx?

    So there are two .xlsm files that I am using.
    Both of which have the same code.
    It is just the name of the reports which are different.
    The macro code is used to email this report to the user which is on an active worksheet.
    Once this has been emailed, we are able to open the report generated by one .xlsm code that spits it out as .xlsx but not the other on the iPhone.
    I am able to save the other report as a .xls and send it across and I can preview it in Quick Look.
    Unfortunately, the users do not possess the Numbers app.

    Hi @all,
    i've read all the dócumentations i've found in the net but unfortunatly the Indexing of my filestored documents fails every time...
    So what i've done is the following:
    --Step 1 Create User
    --The following SQL command creates a user called MYUSER with a password of myuser_password:
    drop user textuser;
    CREATE USER TEXTUSER IDENTIFIED BY TEXTUSER;

    So what can i do?????
    I use Oracle 10.2.0 on Suse Linux 9.2
    I'm very happy about Ideas and helpfull advices.
    Thanks a lot regards Julius

    Hallo Barbara,
    thanks a lot for your help!!!
    I've noticed that it is necessary to create the user textuser as ctxsys. So i've done like you recommended but unfortunately the result is the same.....
    I added an utl_file Path to my SPFILE. (utl_file_dir= /home/oracle/mydocs) as you can see below. (is it necessary to something else to the spfile which i haven't noticed at all???
    After that i tried to set up all by using sqlplus for having the possibility to show the results.
    Below you can see the statements, the connect-Changes (ctxsys/textuser)
    and the echo .
    Do you or somebody else have an idea what i can do additionally to get this working???
    Thanks a lot and regards Julius
