What makes a file open automatically after download? I'm trying to stop it. I don't know whether Firefox or Sumatra controls this.

When I downloaded a .pdf file, it opens automatically after download. I want to put it back to where I have to click on it in the download window in order to open it.
This happens with every .pdf file I download.
I am using Sumatra 1.5.1 to view pdf files.

Change the '''Action''' for that file type.

How to make WMV files open in in Windows Media Player not Flip4Mac/QT

I just installed Safari 4. With Safari 3 when I clicked on a WMV file on a web site it would automatically open in Windows Media Player. I liked this arrangement just fine. When I installed Safari 4, instead of this happening WMV files started to download instead. I installed Flip4Mac and now they play in QuickTime but I don't like the controls... i.e. I cannot adjust the volume except from the keyboard.
Is there any way to make WMV files open in Windows Media Player the way they used to in Safari 3 instead of either downloading or opening in QuickTime with Flip4Mac?

Not very easy but it could be done.
If the file opens in QuickTime (via Flip4Mac) you can use the Movie Inspector window to "find" the URL. Then open that URL directly in WMP.
You could also dig through the page source code or use the Safari Activity window to find the URL.

What makes a jpeg open in ACR?

Working at a print lab we receive files from all kinds of sources. Some of the jpegs that we get seem to automatically open in ACR, some go straight into Ps when double clicked (PC). Does anybody know what makes an image open ACR? Even if I have the "prefer ACR" turned off in Ps, the file continues to open in ACR. The reason this is a problem is because the setting that the customer is making in ACR is not being saved/applied to the jpeg file. Customer submitted file, prints were too dark, customer increased brightness +20 in ACR and resubmitted the jpegs. But when we print they look just like the first batch. When I double click the file, it opens in ACR and I can see the +20 brightness but when printed its not there! Does anybody have any idea what could be happening? Is it the manner that the customer is saving the files out of ACR? Could it just be a bad action? Thanks for any feedback!

If a customer modifies a jpeg file within ACR and then clicks on either Done or Open, the changes are recorded as tags in the exif data of the jpeg file; no modifications are made to the jpeg image data. If you want to honor the customer's ACR edits you will have to open the jpeg file in ACR and Photoshop and either print from within Photoshop or save the file out of Photoshop. Photoshop is the only app that will honor the exif tag modifications.
Added by edit - The reason I reiterated the info is I predict this will happen more and more often as customers with a jpeg workflow "discover" how easy it is to change white balance, brightness, contrast, crop, etc. within ACR and never have to muck around in Photoshop. It's very easy just to click on "Done" when they're through editing, rather than go to the pain of saving it out as a new file. And Adobe hasn't done a wonderful job of explaining all the consequences, IMO.

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera'

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?

DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now?

Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts.

Did you go to your Applications/Utilities folder and actually double click on the updater to run it?

How do you make the dashboard open automatically at login?

Ok, you know in your dock you can right click on any application icon and it will come up with some options, one of them being "Open at Login." Well, I want to automatically open the dashboard at login, but when I right click on the dashboard icon it does not give that option. How do I make the dashboard open automatically when I log in?

There is a freeware app called "Dashboard Starter" that will start the DB up when you log-in, or anytime you force quit the Dock.app.
Search www.macupdate.com for it.

What makes a file unreadable or readable when trying to move it into the library

What makes a file unreadable or readable when trying to move it into the library

Any more info? It could be many things including what you are doing - you do not "move" anything to the iPhoto library - you use iPhoto (or image capture) to "import" into iPhoto
We know nothing except what you tell us so full information and correct terminology is critical to getting valid answers - the more that is left to one guessing and assuming the better the chance of a bad answer

How do i make the database open automatically at startup in solaris?

need to write a shell script that is invoked from /etc/init.d/ and soft link the following:
ln -s /etc/init.d/MYoracle /etc/rc3.d/S99oracle
        ln -s /etc/init.d/MYoracle /etc/rc2.d/K99oracle
        ln -s /etc/init.d/MYoracle /etc/rc1.d/K99oracle

        ln -s /etc/init.d/MYoracle /etc/rcS.d/K99oracleThe shell script should be pretty straight forward.
