Weird character appear on open with menu

and once I click it this window appear
my question is what it is and where it came from and how can I get rid of it...
thanks in advance

thanks for a quick reply
yeah probably it's a droplet as you said and might get created while I ran something on Bridge the other day. And it took too long so I force quit it so may be that's why it become some encrypted text.
But do you know how can I get rid of it?

TS1702 App not appearing in open with menu

Has anyone found apps not appearing in the open in menu

Does the app support the type of file that you are trying to 'open in', and how many apps do you currently have in that file type's list ? There is a limit of, I think, 10 apps in the list

Esaheiskanen, looking at the screenshot, I understand that it was removed properly.
You can simply go to >>>> Go> Utilites> Adobe Installer's and remove the CS6 App installed, Make sure you put a check on "Remove Prefrences" too.
Alternatively, you run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, to remove the CS6 Version.

I can't select Photoshop CC 2014 when using the "Open with" menu in Windows 7

I have recently installed CC 2014, and uninstalled my CC version. When I go to a jpeg, or any image file in windows explorer, I right-click and "open with" and it isn't listed on my program list to open the file with. I click on "browse programs", find the exe file in adobe-photoshop cc2014 folder and click OK, and it just goes back to the open with menu with no option for photoshop.
Any ideas on how I can get it on that list, so I can open these files from the file location, instead of opening up photoshop and then searching for the file location within photoshop?
Also, I don't have any problems opening up the pictures from within photoshop, just within windows explorer.

I'm having a similar problem, but only with jpg's. I have PS CS6, CC, and CC 2014. Other image file formats function normally with regard to the "open with" list. PS CC 2014 appears on the list. But with jpg's only PS CC appears on the "open with" list and 2014 can't be added by the browsing for it.
The curious thing is that if I have any of the three versions of Photoshop open, click on Photoshop CC in the "open with" list, the image opens in whatever version is already open on my computer. This is true of all image formats. No matter which version I pick from the "open with" list it opens in the currently running program. I use only the latest version so keeping it open all the time is an easy work around. I won't uninstall any of the earlier versions lest more file association quirks result. it would be nice to have this matter fixed.

Make x64 default with "open with" menu

Ive seen several threads to make x32 the default but not to many to make x64 the defualt. It appears that once the install is made I cannot only uninstall the 32 bit photoshop, only both at the same time. I have recently moved from cs4 to cs5. Everything was working perfectly until I decided that I had fully made the transition and uninstalled CS4. Now Im having trouble getting images to open with photoshop in x64 mode. .PSDs will open with the defualt x64 but I use a different viewer for .jepgs. I typicaly open these file types with the right click "open with" command. Unfortunately this command always opens the file in 32 bit mode. I have even tried to use "open with - choose default program" and navigate to the Photoshop X64 folder and select the 64 bit executable from there, but it still opens with 32 bit photoshop. All I want if to be able to use the "Open With" menu to open .jpegs in 64 bit mode. Any advice? Thanks.

Solved it using this guide only pointing to the x64 bit instead.

Solved it!
In my desperation I just began searching the registry for "Photoshop.exe" - There it had the path for the "Photoshop" that you see when you try to change an association (picking the 32bit version using "open with" doesn't matter because it recognizes it as Photoshop and defaults back to whatever the program is in this registry key).
This should make Photoshop 32 bit open every time you open a Photoshop-associated file.
Here is what I did, for anyone coming from Google:
Start > Run > regedit
Browse to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\edit\command
Changed the value to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe" "%1"
(old one was the 64 bit path and executable)
Did the same with HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command

GDM no more "open with" menu after last Gnome upgrade (3.16.0)

Hi,
Using nautilus, I used to have an "open with" menu showing a list of alternative applications to open a file, such as in this picture:
https://ubuntugenius.files.wordpress.co … .png?w=500
This was quite handy as I could use different applications to open the same type of file without changing the default association each time I use an alternative application.
Since I have updated my system, Gnome has been upgraded and now there is only an "open with another application" entry in the "right click menu", which, if I use it, change the default application for the type of the selected file.
The list of alternative applications is still the same as before, but the behaviour is now different, since these application do not appear directly in the menu any more, and since selecting any of them will change the default file-application association. For me, this is a bit annoying since I wants to use two different applications to open the same type of file.
I could not find anything on the internet related to this vanishing of the "open with" menu.
I am curious to know if anybody has the same problem as me. I wonder if it is a feature or if there is a problem somewhere?

That behavior of nautilus seems to be a new "feature". I really have no idea why they change such things.
At least, there's allready a bugreport for this:

Why are there duplicate results in the Open With menu?

I own an iMac with the latest version of OSX (I forget what it is). As you can see in this image, I am going to open an image using the Open With menu, and there are a lot of repeats. In addition to the repeats, some apps show up that no longer exist and some apps don't show up that still do exist. For example, I no longer have RockMelt on my operating system. I also don't have the version of Pixelmator listed: I trashed that version and installed a different version, but when I click on Pixelmator in the menu, it reverts to Preview because that version of Pixelmator no longer exists. This is a minor issue but it is really bothering me because whenever I want to open Pixelmator, I have to go through the whole process of clicking Other and browsing my applications folders to get to it. Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated and I would reward you with imaginary cookies (Yum!).
Seriously though, I need help.

Boot in safe mode. This will cause certain caches maintained by the system to be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to boot than normal.
When the login screen appears, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.

"Open with" menu cluttered

Hello,
When I choose to open a jpeg using the "open with" menu I have to wait while a large number of programs like "constrain to 64 pixels.exe" load. Is there any way to choose which programs appear in this menu?
Thanks,

HI Fausty,
While selecting a jpg image, press the "ctrl" key. A pop up menu will open. Where it says: Open With, there should be a list of apps that can read jpg, just click one.
Also, the "constrain to 64 pixels.exe" ...
EXE is the common filename extension for denoting an executable file (a program) in the OpenVMS, DOS, Microsoft Windows, and OS/2 operating systems. "Executable" and ".exe" are used as adjectives proceeding "file" or "program", rather than alone as nouns.[1] You might want to trash that file.

Is there a way to get Adobe Camera Raw to appear in "Open With" drop down?

HI,
I was wondering if there might be a way to get a direct link to Adobe Camera Raw to appear in "Open With" drop down menu along with the other choices?

I would think you'd just need to select the Adobe Application you're using... whichever that one is, then the APP would know what to do with RAW.
What are they set for now?

Finder Open With Menu

I'm trying to clean up a Parallels installation, I got tired of it locking up my system when shutting down the VM, any way it added a host of Windows Applications to the Open With Menu in Finder.
I've tried following a few older suggestions such as deleteing the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist from ~/LIbrary/Preferences folder, however this trick doesn't appear to have any affect on finder 10.5
So Im at a loss on how to clean this up...
Any help is greatly appreciated...
Thank yoiu

rebuild your launch services database.
run the following terminal command
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

Paralles and the "open with" menu

Can anyone advise me on how to remove PC applications installed in Parallel
appearing in the "open with" menu within osx.
With most files there is no problem, but using open with in Mail gives a list of
apps and no idea which ones are OSX apps or PC apps.
Thanks in advance

I was under the impression that one reason to use Parallels rather than bootcamp was precisely for that reason, that one can run apps in both systems at the same time.
If a file can be opened with either XP or Leopard apps, then it seems to me both should show up in the "open with" list since they are both available.
With Parallels, XP is just one more app running in Leopard, AFAIK.
If you can exclude Parallels from SpotLight search and then rebuild the data base it might work.

Help. Need to remove one of the listed QuickTimes from the "open with" menu

When I bring up the 'Open with' menu on an audio file I have QuickTime Player (7.3.1) and just below that I have QuickTime Player (7.2.1). I would like to remove the 7.2.1 listing from this menu. There is on one version on my computer (7.3.1). The last update must have placed the newer listing in this menu and left the older listing. Is there a way to remove the older listing from the open with menu?

Did you ever do an archival and install of your OS? If so, you have what is called previous system fold on your main hard drive. This is where you can find the player to the version. If not I guess what happen to you is strange...mmm... And I guess it could happen.

Can you add Programs to Open With Menu

Is there a way to add programs to the Open With Menu. For example, when you right click on a file you can choose to open it with the default application by selecting Open, or choose other programs to open it with by selecting Open With. Only a few of the programs that can open the files are listed. Is there a way to add programs that I use to list in that list. Right now, everytime I want to open something in a program that is not listed I have to go to Other... and find it in the Application folder. Which is not too convenient. Many programs that I use to open files are not listed for many types of file types, I open them frequently using the Open... window, and I was hoping that Mac would learn to add them, but it did not.
For example, I have VMWare with Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2010 in it, my default application for WORD documents is Word for Mac 2011, but occasionally I need to open it in Word 2010 in Windows (Certain features that are missing in Mac Word), and I have to browse to fin the Word 2010 Application from the Application Folder. Another example is a program (from the App Store) called ResizeIt (which resizes photos), I have to browse for it everytime even though it is an application just for images.
So, is there a way to edit the Open With Menu for specific file types to include these programs that I use, or do I have to keep browsing to the Application folder and finding it there?
Thank you in advance!!
David

Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. Paste the following command line in its entirety immediately after the command line prompt, then press return:

When the prompt returns quit Terminal.

I'm not sure this addresses your exact situation or not, but the following link:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486#comments
suggests a method for removing items from the "open with" menu that shouldn't be there.
I have NOT tried the above, so use the usual cautions (backup beforehand, etc.).
Good luck,
