Urgent: File Folio Preview opens an empty "Folio Preview" panel (ID CS 5.5)

Hi!
I just updated The Folio Builder panel, and the command File > Folio Preview does not send the document to the Content Viewer as usual, but opens a new panel called Folio Preview ..., which remains empty.
I can preview documents as usual using the Preview button at the bottom of the Overlay Creator panel, but not using the menu command. There is a check mark next to the Folio Preview command on the File menu when the panel remains open. (Doing some searches on this forum, there seemed to be a similar problem last October, but I would have thought it should be solved by now.)
I'm experiencing this problem on both my PC running Windows 7 and my MacBook Pro running Mac OS. (Both laptops are running the Norwegian version of the repective OS.)
I can work around the problem using the Overlay Creator panel, but if anybody has an explanation and/or solution I would be very grateful. I'm starting a two day course teaching DPS tomorrow, so this is rather urgent.
Best regards,
Tom
PS. I'll try to upload a screen shot shortly to clarify the situation.

Here's a screen shot (Windows, the Mac version looks and acts identical):
And here's the version I'm using. Just installed FolioPanel-CS55-12.2.2.1
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Tom

Bridge open up in a preview mode not photoshop as it should

when i double click a photo it goes to a preview does not open in photoshop

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 and of Bridge, machine specs, 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, etc., someone may be able to help you.

Thanks!
Let me make a few educated guesses:
1.— You're on a Mac.
2.— Your image files are being opened in Apple's Preview.app
If I guessed correctly, all you need to do now is go to the Finder, do a Get Info on one of your files (Command 1), change the Open With application to Photoshop, then click on the Change all button. You'll need to do this for each file type (PSD, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, etc.

Indesign CC, DPS and "empty folio" message

I get an empty folio error message from folio builder using ID 9.2 v 26. I'm opening it from an
active Indesign folio. So after reading some forum questions, I'm thinking my problem might be
in one or none of these issues:
"Updating" folio so it reads in the folio builder--how to? I'm opening from saved document of course.
In folio producer when i'm signed on, i get the same message. Though I'm not using a connected Ipad, that
should still work on the desktop, right?
Otherwise can someone tell me what I'm doing fundamentally wrong?
Many thanks.

Thanks for following this with me...
In folio builder i have the name of the folio selected, say, "country cat family 1.indd."
There are other folios, but this is the one selected, darkened. So i assume i've selected the entire folio?
This is a folio in which there are three separate "images" (links) that i've built into the folio. I see these images/links in the active indesign work space where i place them.
I'm using the term "spread" because i think that corresponds to the separate "images/links" through which i scroll. This is the term i see in the progress bar when uploading to folio producer.
The issue above occurs when I hit desktop preview in folio builder.

Why is it that when I try to open a project, it says "the project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type"?

It could be opened last night but today it just kept showing "the project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type". I really need to access my video.
Some help out there, please?

Preview on iPad through Folio Overlays window of smooth scrolling article.

Preview on iPad through Folio Overlays window of smooth scrolling article (ex. 1024 x 2000 px) is not working anymore. Article is scaled and turned in vertical orientation. No problem with Folio Builder.

Thanks for reporting this, I'll pass it on to our test team for investigation and they'll log a bug against a future release if we can reproduce it.

Why doesn't "Preview" open my .PDF files on my computer?

Hello Guys,
My "Preview" program stopped opening .PDF files about a week ago. The program shows up in the dock, but it doesn't display the PDF. It displays JPEG's no problem, but for some reason it' doesnt open PDF fils.It is driving me crazy. I have googled and googled, but no luck in fixing my problem.
I have even set the PDF files to "always open with preview"
Any help would be greatly appreciatd
Thanks in advance
-Miguel

I suspect your problem has to do with the file on the drive that stores the preferences to open what up with what program.
I don't know exactly what that preference file is, but I know of a way to check for corruption of the preference files and once you know which one is corrupted, then we can delete it and it will rebuild.
So do the #12 and #13 OnyX routines here, that will also clear your caches and speed up your machine a little as well.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Once #13 is competed then see this Ut here.

When opening a PDF file quicktime opens it instead of preview, how do I get preview back

Quick Time now opens my PDF files instead of Preview How can I get Preview to open them up?

Do a Get Info on one of the PDF files - select the file (click it once), then press Command-I (Get Info in the File menu).
In the Get Info window, about half-way down is an item "Open with:" - set the pulldown menu in that section to "Preview".
If you want to make that change to all PDFs, then click the "Change All..." button.

Preview on device from folio overlays panel is fuzzy

I'm new to DPS so I'm sure there's a setting somewhere that I haven't checked, but why is the text fuzzy on my iPad when I preview my article? I have a retina iPad, my document is 1024x768, and I'm using the "Preview on XYZ iPad" function at the bottom of the Folio Overlay panel. What am I doing wrong? It looks fine if I preview the folio in the Folio Builder panel--what's the difference?

When you click Preview at the bottom of the Overlays panel, you preview the layout, not the article or the folio. When you preview the layout, you get PNG or JPG image format, not PDF. For the best preview experience, use the Folio Builder panel to preview either the article or folio. That way, you use the image format of the articles. If your article uses PDF image format, it likely won't be fuzzy. And if you see something fuzzy when previewing, let us know, and we'll help you figure it out.

Print Preview Opens "Save File" Dialog

A week or so ago (possibly related to my install of Snow Leopard, not quite sure), when I hit Preview in a Print dialog, I'm taken to a "Save" dialog before Preview opens with the file for preview. Before it would save it to a temp location somewhere and just open it for me.
Feels like the temp location it was writing to before is no longer available, but I'm not really sure where that is to check.
Any suggestions?
Cheers.
Adam

CMD+P on Safari or TextEdit brings up a print dialog box, clicking on PDF button (there's no preview button), reveals the drop down menu, wherein the first option is Open PDF in Preview. This might be a change from Leopard, but I'm not on it at the moment, so can't check. There is a Preview button if you're using MS Word '04 ('08 probably works the same) and it pops up in Preview.

Preview opening all files in folder

When browsing to open a file in Preview through File>Open File... dialogs, Preview is opening all of the files within a folder (rather than opening the folder's directory) after a double-click on the folder.
Am I missing something?

Double-click on folders in open dialogue does not open the entire folder contents in most applications! (I just tested a couple standard programs to confirm: Safari, TextEdit.) It is an annoying and unnecessary attribute which seems only applicable in Preview.
The feature of Preview where double-clicking a folder in the open dialogue causes Preview to open the entire folder contents is the bane of my existence as a Mac OS user. (And I do use other operating system, my Mac triple boots.) This behavior is not only inconsistent (and generally confirms that Mac OS X is perpetually confused about what type of mouse actions cause what actions in different areas), but a horrible catastrophe when, at least once a day, I inadvertently double-click a folder (in this manner) containing many files Preview associates with itself, where the only easy solution is to Force Quit. Don't believe me? When Preview starts trying to open 200 post-script files, which it must first convert to pdf, and the Cancel button does not respond, what should you do? Even if you wait for it to open all the files, in the case where conversion to pdf is involved, each window I close asks me if I wish to save!
All the complaints aside, is there a way I can disable this gregariously foolish and mis-sighted feature? If there is not a way to disable this feature at present, I'll just hope that a developer is reading this, since this is my only recourse in closed-source software, except to find new software.
And while I'm at it, may I request that Preview have the added feature to directly view post-scripts?

Preview opens files under the browser

(This question was asked in the Printing and Faxing forum first because it dealt with Preview. Someone thought it would be more appropriate here.)
Hi,
When I download a file that Preview opens, Preview will open it and then my browser (Camino) will then appear on top of the opened file (and Preview will be the last app I have to tab to to get to it, even though it is the MOST RECENT app used...). How can I get whatever app opened my downloaded file to stay on top? I think Real files work ok. I am not sure if many other types of files do though.
I don't see a preference in Preview, Camino, OSX or Safari that would control that. I do a pref in Safari that says "Open safe files after downloading" and pdfs are considered safe but that doesn't quite fit the bill here.
Thanks for any help.
I have also asked this in a Camino forum but have gotten nowhere with it.
Cheers,
John L

I looked at this thread I'd started awhile back and followed Dr Smoke's advice about resetting the Launch Services Database. (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=480940&tstart=0)
I was then left with some icons that say they are for Safari but are either Camino docs or Preview docs. (Dr Smoke's advice fixed that last time (but left unsticky prefs for opening apps.))
I finally remembered that I had to go into Safari and tell it that my default browser was Camino (1.5) and after doing that, ALL of my icons are correct. The docs Camino owned have the correct Camino icon AND the Preview stuff has the Preview icon. (What is the connection to Preview, I wonder...)
pdfs continue to open under Camino though. I should say, they actually open for a fraction of a second on top of Camino but quickly go underneath it. Always have.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I can live with this but think it shouldn't happen.
Cheers,
John

I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?

I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?

I think you solved my problem! Upon following your advice, I first got a message that I had not allowed a connection to the Tax dept computers, which would prevent the file I need to fill out from being e-filed. I proceeded to then open the file at the top of which was a security banner at which I chose the site as safe. I then filled in the first line of the form which autofilled other lines telling me I was connected with the tax site. In a few days when I have the data I need, I will actually attempt to file the return. If there is a problem, I will send another message. Thanks so much for your assistance!

Please Help!
