It did in Leopard, anyway.
Did they take this feature out in Snow Leopard?

go to system preferences->appearance and check the box to enable this feature.

What happens if I click on recovery 10.9.1

I am having problems with booting my wife's 2010 iMac. It never boots completely. I gets to a point where the screen flashes over and over a message something about opening (or not) windows which were open when I shut down.
When I hold the OPTION key at startup I get the 'option' to start up with my system hard drive or Recovery 10.9.1.
What happens if I click on Recovery 10.9.1?

OK!
Then what happens? I'm primarily concerned with the data that's on the Mac HD. Does it get erased or changed in any way?

How to invoke system editor by double click a file(windows)?

how to invoke system editor by double click a file(windows)?
Just like that, double click a file named a.doc, windows will open it by word.exe.

I try that:
exec("cmd /c start winword \"c:\dir\a b.doc\"");
like this posting(http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=634576 ), and It is ok.
But now I make a file list with different files, .pdf,.xls,.doc and so on, I wanna double click to open one with its default system editor.
if no space:
exec("cmd /c start " + file);
will invoke the default editor to open it. if space, it can't do it.
And now I rename all files, replace space to _.

Opening an ai file by double clicking file icon - Windows XP

When I have an ai file on that is on my desktop and I double click, the window that opens does not fill my screen, when it opens it only takes up 1/2 the screen. Ai use to open up a full screen when doing this, but not anymore. I've attached a screen shop of what I get.
Any help would be great!
TIA
Karleen

Ai use to open up a full screen when doing this...
Unlikely. This has been a known problem with Illustrator Win, and, to my knowledge, it has not been fixed... and here we are at version 14. I've railed about it for years, but now I've given up.

The last of those links contains a workaround I've been using, which entails starting AI via a batch file and changing the .ai file association to that batch procedure.
If you used to get a "full screen," you were just getting a "normal" (not maximized) window that was about the same size as your screen.
As with other discussions on this topic, we'll probably get contributors suggesting you set shortcut properties to start the app maximized, but you and I know that is not what we're talking about.

I want to stylise a finder window on a CD-ROM... that is, when a CD data disc I've created is inserted into the Mac and double-clicked, the finder window has the layout and background I've chosen. Is there any Apple software which will do this?

I've created a CD-ROM which essentially has a website on it.
I've added an autorun for PC users (assuming those guys still exist) which launches "index.html". So no worries there.
For Mac users, as autolaunch isn't an option (correct me if I'm wrong?), I want to control the look and layout of the Finder window which opens when the disc is inserted and the CD icon is double-clicked. What's the best Apple software to use to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Nice to hear your story.

Dragging with 3 fingers is horrid. What happened to double tap & drag?

With the previos OS version I could swipe with 3 fingers to go back and forth on pages and applications and the finder, then if I want to drag something I could just double tap with one finger and drag an item. Easy and simple.
With Mountain Lion, only way to drag with the trackpad is to hold down the physical trackpad button and drag which is kind of a pain to do, especially since my button on my 2010 Mackbook Pro doesn't seem to work as well as it should...or use 3 fingers to drag which doesn't give you as much room to navigate on the trackpad as with one finger. The main problem with doing this is that I can't go back and forth on apps/finder/etc with the 3 finger swipe because if I turn on 3 finger drag it turns that option off. So I'm stuck without going back and forth by swiping in apps which I always used and stuck with a more unfriendly 3 finger drag.
What happened to the double tap and drag? It made things so much easier. Or am I missing an option for that somewhere? Why on earth would apple remove something like that? It's a feature I expect to use both on Mac and Windows.

Thanks so much to jeffyg3, I finally found the answer to this!

Enable dragging ON: choose from menu "without drag lock".

Nothing happens when double-clicking batch file

Hello,
I downloaded the full version of SAP Memory Analyzer for Windows, and extracted the zip file, but when I double click on MemoryAnalyzer.bat nothing happens. I've also tried running it from the command line - I'm not getting any errors, but still nothing happens.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
most likely it is a wrong JDK version. The Memory Analyzer needs at least JDK 1.5 to run (although it can analyze dumps from older VMs).
Open the start script and replace $JDK_HOME$ with the path to your JRE installation.
Or just edit the start command directly:
start "Memory Analyzer" /path/to/jre/bin/javaw -Xms512m [...other options...]
Unfortunately, we have not found a good way to report an error. Inside the script we do start javaw. Errors from the start command are not reported back. Any ideas are welcome.
Kind regards,
- Andreas.

While browsing Firefox, display another htm*file by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer and not getting the erro message "Firefox is already running (etc) "

While browsing the Web with Firefox, I often want to view an htm (or html etc) file that is recorded on my computer, by double-clicking it in my Windows Explorer, hoping it will open automatically a new tab.
When I try this now, I get the error message "Firefox is already running (etc)" .
In my current setup, Firefox is associated with the htm and html file name extensions.
If, instead of double-clicking the filename in the Explorer, I choose the Firefox menu item "Open a file", this works OK.
In old versions of Firefox, double-clicking a filename in the Windows Explorer or File Manager caused Firefox to open a new window every time which was ok.
I have the same problem with Thunderbird, which I have associated with the "eml" file name extension. How can I view a series of recorded ".eml" files with Thunderbird when Thunderbird is already running ? Thank you.

The target field of the desktop shortcut is "D:\C_Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" (no switch)
The system/environment variable MOZ_nO_REMOTE is now 0, changed from 1, but I can see no difference. Maybe I need to restart the system to get a change ?
Thank you.

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).

What happens when I click "Order" - SRM 5.0

I have a scenario where shopping carts were marked complete, but purchase orders were not created. We had some application server problems, and RFC connections were working intermittently for a short while - which caused this problem. The shopping carts create local purchase orders in SRM (not in ECC).
SO, I am trying to determine where this process could have been broken. We have the case where I can click on the trash can to delete a shopping cart that does not have a PO, and I can view the details of the shopping cart and note that there are no follow-on documents. However, when I try to delete this shopping cart, i get a warning message saying that deletion is not possible, because follow-on documents exist.
Is there some user exit, some job that was called and failed, some workflow that is triggered, etc?
I have tried to run every possible job, have reviewed all workflows, and can not find any error. I had all users recreate and reorder their carts, and the problem is solved - BUT I don't know the root cause of this, and do not truly understand what happens between clicking "order" and the workflow in the PO to auto approve (as we are using Procurement cards, and the workflow is being triggered to auto approve). In the case noted above the cart is ordered and approved, but the PO is not created and the PO auto-approval workflow is never started. (I can't retrigger because no GUI-ID is being generated either).
Anyone have any thoughts?!?

Mavericks Finder - how default to "double click opens new window"?

I am old and set in my ways. I like having the Finder open a new window when I double click a folder. Since 1984 I've arranged Finder windows in positions and sizes that suit me and I have never seen any reason to change.
In Mavericks however there does not seem to be a way to default to, "double click opens new Finder window". My choices under Finder preferences are, open in the same window; or open in a tab. I don't care for either.
Does anyone know of a way to restore the traditional Finder behavior in Mavericks? Thanks in advance.

There is a great deal of logic behind this change actually
And youll find me the LAST PERSON to complain about Mavericks really,......
not ONLY is it FREE,.......its made my new Air just blazing fast
My boot time now is 8 SECONDS (my goodness)
Switching APPS is ultra-fast.........even on my Air, Photoshop opens up LIGHTNING FAST,.....just mind numbingly FAST!
Thank You to Apple, MAVERICKS IS AWESOME!!!! I REALLY LOVE IT!!!

How to start a java application by double clicking just like windows gui?

Hi,
I want to open the user-defined file in my java application. The way is like the notepad in windows:1.double click the file name 2.the file is opened in the java application 3.if this file has opened at the same time ,then the last opened will be read-only.
Could you tell me how to carry it out ? Thank you
from Maria

!!! Please give me a help! i am thirsty for itSo, to get this straight, you have a Java application in a jar. For some reason, you do not execute this directly. Are you aware that you can execute a jar directly without the need to write a C++ exe to do it?
Anyway, for some reason, instead you have a C++ application which launches the JVM with your jar main class.
Well, you want to do two things. First of all, on Windows level, you need to associate the file type of your user file with your application. Note that they have to have a specific file extension that you choose. To associate the file type with an executable, you open a windows explorer, go to View, Folder Options, File Types and add an entry for your file type and specify it to open with your application. If you do not know how to do this, google for "windows associate file type with program executable" or something alike.
Now, if you double-click one of your user files, the associated exe will open, and it will receive the file name as a command line argument. In your C++ application, you will need to pass this argument, a file name, to the Java application where you launch it.
