View files with a default program

how do you make a type of file open with a default program. for example i make a file in photshop save it as a .jpg file. but when i want to show that file to someone it doesnt open in preview (like other files) it opens in photoshop which is freaking annoying.
so how do i do it?
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Select the file, use Get Info (Command-I), choose the application you want to open the file, then click "Change All..."

How do I open a .nrl extension in firefox, currently it returns a string of text instead of opening the file with the default program.

When I click on a .nrl file extension (belongs to Autonomy I-Manage Software) it returns a string of code (what is in the shortcut link) instead of following the link and returning the document. Is there a way to tell Forefox connect to the document that the shortcut is linked to? The .nrl file extension belongs to a piece of software called FileSite (document management system).

'''Adding download actions''' is the relevant section of that article for your situation.
Is the *.nrl file on a website or already saved to your PC?
If it is on a website, the server may not be sending the appropriate Mime-Type telling Firefox how that file is to be handled - ''"Content-Disposition"''.
Can you give us the URL of the webpage where you have this problem? <br />
So we can see first hand what the issue is.

.msg files open in new tab or window, not with the default program

Hello,
I am having an issue with .msg files not opening with the default program, Outlook. They are opening in a new tab and it is just a bunch of gibberish from the email header. Does anyone know how to force IE to open the .msg files in Outlook? They open fine
in Chrome and Firefox.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
First I suggest we take a try in IE with no-addons.
Follow the steps below:
1. Click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Internet Explorer (with no add-ons)
2. Press Shift, then right click Internet Explorer icon on taskbar, select run as administrator;
Please also take a verify that if the outlook is set to the default open program of .msg files:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs, find the .msg file and take a look.
Then we may try to use process monitor to track the root cause of this issue:
The download link here:
Process monitor
And here is
a blog talking about how to use it:

Hope this may help

Photoshop - open with: choose default program

Hello,
How do I choose Photoshop as the Default Program to open .jpgs if the program doesn't appear in the "Choose Program you want to use to open this file:"? the
Also, I've Browsed in order to Choose the Default program but when I go to: Program Files>Adobe>Adobe Photoshop CC 2014>Photoshop.exe and choose this program the Windows Photo Viewer is automatically chosen and Photoshop doesn't EVER appear in my choose of Default programs.
This wasn't an issue with an older version of Photoshop.
Help!
Lonnie

Sounds more like a Windows issue than Photoshop. Can you test the Open with tool with other file types and programs?
I'm also surprised that Photoshop does not appear in the main list, and that you have to hunt for it with Browse. Have you tried navigating to the same .exe file in Explorer and making sure it launches Photoshop.

Enabling the ability to uncheck QT file associations in Default Programs

I have Windows 7 here, and it comes with this nice little utility that lets you set the default programs for various file types (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs\Set Program Associations). When I select Quicktime, there are various boxes that I can check, but there are also various boxes that are pre-checked. I would like to uncheck them, but they are greyed out. How can I uncheck them?
I hope Apple engineers understand the absurdity of having a specific tool for setting file type associations, and them making that tool unable to set file type associations. It sort of defeats the purpose doesn't it?
For the record, I am administrator and UAC is disabled.

File associations are a mess right now. Many programs (Opera included) handle them their own way. There's a project underway to handle associations in a standard way (see MIME actions, shared MIME info, desktop entries, all at freedesktop.org), but not all software uses it; KDE is a notable holdout (3 at least, not sure about 4).
Note that that first spec link, MIME actions, is currently "in the requirements-gathering / early-planning stages." That means there is no spec for that. As I said, a mess.
Most likely, Opera and Thunderbird detected you were running KDE and special-cased their association-finder to ask KDE instead. Now that you aren't, they're falling back to their normal behavior: use the first .desktop file to claim the MIME type. As I recall, both applications offer ways to specify associations in their preferences; you might just want to stick to that for now. Or use a desktop environment.
The kernel-level MIME support is designed to allow execution of strange files using interpreters. For example, you could directly execute Windows applications (as in "./notepad.exe") by setting the kernel to "interpret" application/exe files using wine. No applications use it for opening files.

Open XML file with user default browser and not the default editor.

Hi,
I'm writing a java program that appends numerous XML files together. The result is a NEW well formed XML document. Since i have an XSLT that performs several UI modifications on this xml file, the file extension must remain '.xml'. I need to open this xml file with the users default web browser. The problem is that:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
....opens the xml file with the users default program for opening xml files which in my case is Oxygen. I want to force java to open this xml file with the users default web browser and nothing else.
I guess i need the Windows command to perform the 'open with' feature but i have no idea what that command is or how to find it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Varun Singh

People do not often ask questions (or make challenges or observations) idly for the sake of 'theory'. It is most useful to explain to the best of your ability.
As to
"Since the Desktop class was only released with SE 6 I am forced to find another alternative. "
There is an 'alternative'. You can import it into a 1.5 project. It was available as a free standing API before 1.6 - through JDIC. See [https://jdic.dev.java.net/documentation/Examples.html|https://jdic.dev.java.net/documentation/Examples.html] for more info.

How to open a file with the assosiate program on suse????

i came to know that we can open a file with assosiated program on windows using "cmd /c start filename".
and i want the same functionality on suse linux.
in forums i found that "kfm filename" will do fine on linux.
i tried it on suse but no use at all.
i would appretiate the quick response and i would be very thankful
for the same.
Thanks alot in advance.

take a look at java.awt.Desktop in the JDK SE 6 http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Desktop.html.
See these two methods:
- void edit(File file)
- void open(File file)

Cant open file directly on default program

hi!
I´m trying to open a .RVT file in a program called Revit, wich is the default program for those files, and now its not working, it says the default program is Revit, but when I try to open the file it opens revit, not the file in revit, so I´ve got to go
to open/file...etc... and after a while it gets hard finding every file...
can you tell me what do I do, I´m assuming I will have to go to *reddit* but after that I dont know...
thanks!!!

Hi,
S.Sengupta's suggestion is worth a try. Also you could try to reset the default program for test:

Can't view files with long file names?

Hi, Im using Mac OSX 10.3.9 and I have a problem viewing files on a server that have long file names (i.e over about 20 characters) they do not show up on my mac but when viewed on a PC computer they are all there. Strange thing is though I have another mac on the same network running exactly the same operating system and version and files with long name can be viewed on that system ?? it is some simple preference does anybody know? Any help would be much appreciated. thank you.

Hi, I tried accessing a test file that I have made up with a long name through a browser and through FTP and cannot see it on either one. I can however see it on the other Mac that I have access to that is running the same OS and version etc... and also this file can been viewed on the PC's that are around me....

Signing a jar file with a java program

Hello folks,
It's easy to create a jar file with a java programm, but can I sign it as well with pure java code or do you have to invoke jarsigner?
Regards
Der Hinterwaeldler

Well J2SE 1.x supports ZipOutputStream (jar's are zips with a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file) and www.bouncycastle.org has API's for signing etc.
So in theory you could take a directory or an existing jar and make a jar and sign it.
The only question is the format on how to sign them properly. I wouldn't be suprised if someone already wrote an API for this format. For example BouncyCastle supports S/MIME and PGP, but I don't know what is the format for jars.

Cannot share files with a Foxpro program

I am not able to run a foxpro program using data files copied to the mac. It will only allow one workstation to connect at a reasonable speed. When I try to connect to the data file from a 2nd workstation, it takes 5 minutes for the program to open. I am currently running my program from a data file on a eight year old Linux box using the SMB protocol with up to six workstations connecting very fast. The Linux box has 256mb ram and an AMDxp processor. The Mac server has dual processors and 12gb of ram. Does this make any sense?? I also tried putting the data on a Vista Business VM and I get the same result, poor performance! Looks like I bought a $5K brick. Has anyone run into this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Kenichi,
Sorry for the length of time to report on the status of this problem, but I was away for some time and the rest of my time was spent trying to track down the solution. Neither the router folks or the techs in the various networking forums had an answer. I don't know if I mentioned that an interesting sidelight to this issue was that Microsoft has several diagnostic programs that, when run, showed everything passed with flying colors. However, further investigation through the net and conversations led me to the solution.
Looking in the Windows registry, I found that the IRP Stack size was at zero. The default is 15. Resetting this, in my case, to 30 immediately solved the problem. I have no idea how the default got changed. My guess might be the Windows updates that are done automatically. There were no downloaded applications that would have caused it to reset to zero.
In fact, now the connection is made much faster that previously (when it was working) so I suspect that if not at zero, this value was quite low. I am amazed at how obscure this type of problem can be. Without a more specific error message and all diagnostics showing good results, the only recourse one would have would be to do a complete clean and reinstall, and in Windows, this is not trivial.
Thanks again for your help.

Xsd - java : create enumeration file with non default ordinals

Hi,
i'd like to create an XSD file which will create a java enumeration file.
I successed to create the enums in the java file like this :
RED,
ORANGE,
BLUE
(with default ordinals - 0, 1, 2 ...)
but i want this to look like :
RED (1),
ORANGE (3),
BLUE (10)
thanks in advance,
nati

I'm not sure that you understand my meaning.
I want that my XSD file will create automaticlly an enum file (in Java).
right now, my XSD file looks like that :
<xsd:simpleType name="colors">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:enumeration value="RED"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="ORANGE"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="BLUE"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
and the java file which this XSD creates has the values above with the ordinals : RED - 0, ORANGE - 1, BLUE - 2.
I'm asking if there is any way to control the ordinals of those values in the XSD file (NOT in the Java file) ?
Thank you very much....

Cant open PC Paint files with Appleworks paint program

I have been using the very simple Paint program that comes with windows. I have finally made the move and ditched the PC for something more stable.
When I try to import my .bmp pictures I used to work on into Appleworks it insists on opeing the Drawing program that has no "fill" etc. Even when I open the Paint program and then "force" it to open a .bmp only part of the picture is shown. I thought that a .bmp is pretty basic and common file type.
Does anyone know if Appleworks can handle .bmp files and if not what are other options. I didn't really feel the need to have a $170 paint program for what I am doing.
Hope you can help.
Michael

Dale,
Thanks for your reply.
The problem is that I need to use the "fill" in the paint program.
I have actually just been able to get the file to load into Appleworks paint after reading about using the .pict save. All looked good untill I tried to fill. What happens now is that the fill is very chunky and does not bleed thru at all. This makes it pretty useless at the moment.
Same problem, with a twist now.
Looking forward to any further ideas.
Michael
