When I hit the escape key to close out the open file dialog box, firefox hangs or crashes.

When I open the "open file" dialog box using the ctrl+O and then hit the escape key to exit the box, I get an error message which I'm not able to paste here.
it says something about a runtime problem and if I try the same thing again to reproduce the problem, it will sometimes just hang and windows vista will tell me the program is not responding.
I've checked to see if there are any crash IDs but none were found for this time frame.
I have even disabled all add ons.
I'm currently using vista 64 bit edition and Firefox 6, beta edition.

Hi,
Please also try right-clicking on the link corresponding to the language version and '''Save Target As''' to save the Firefox installer. If the problem persists, posting [http://answers.microsoft.com/ here] would also be helpful.

Simply put, I do not like like the new color coding "dots" and I do not like having to press the Command key before double clicking to open files in a new window. How hard would have been to include the old version of these two features?

Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1. An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6. If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates. If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

Please fix: Common Open File Dialog Box to support Favorites (Follow-up: Better provisioning in the Windows client)

One more thing:
What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.
Please obsolete or (re)develop components in Windows, so those components support any new workflows in Windows!
On example of an application where you cannot use Favorites is Adobe Photoshop. It uses the Common Open File Dialog Box in Windows (which does not support Favorites).
Comparing Finder (MacOS) with Windows Explorer - you "seem" to have the option of using favorites to pin folders.
Well, if your application calls Windows to use the Common Open File Dialog Box - it's actually NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL to navigate to the user concepts (user folders) pinned to favorites.
Again, the favorites namespace is completely unused (not provisioned) out-of-the-box. That's may be ok, however it's not fully implemented across Windows and just another example of stuff accumulating up to being unusable.
What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.

What is the open File Dialog box

I am using a "File Browse..." item. With firefox a user can click on the provided Browse button or the corresponding text area to choose a file. However with IE7 the file dialog box on appears if the user clicks on the browse button.
Can someone tell me what javascript can be used to open a file dialog box? (what is called when the browse button is clicked)
Thanks.

Thanks Carl,
I thought APEX was doing some crazy javascropt stuff because I forgot about a style I had set.
Anyway, I was getting an error if an IE7 user types in a crazy string into the file dialog box and hit submit (since it is not a file). So instead of preventing it I just used a try/catch block in my custom doSubmit. If anyone else runs into this here is a little javascript to help:
(I am used a uploading image, Carl has an example of that somewhere)
<pre>
function doSubmit(r) {
if (ser_changed.length > 0) {
     if (r == "UPLOAD" || r == "SAVE_CHANGES" {
          flowSelectAll();
          $x_Value('pRequest',r)
if (r == "UPLOAD") {
try {                              /// this is where my fix is.
          document.wwv_flow.submit();
catch(err) {
html_HideElement('AjaxLoading');
alert('Invalid file');
} else {
document.wwv_flow.submit();
               }//save changes and stuff as request.
else {
          var ans = confirm("You are about to exit the page without saving your changes!" + '\n' + "Click cancel to return to the page.");
          if (ans) {
          flowSelectAll();
          $x_Value('pRequest',r);
          document.wwv_flow.submit();
          }//when yes!
$x('CANCEL_BUTT').disabled=false;
               }//not save changes and stuff
          }//when there were changes made.
          else {
                         flowSelectAll();
          $x_Value('pRequest',r);
          document.wwv_flow.submit();
          }//where there were not changes made
     }//doSubmit
</pre>
<pre>
function html_Submit_Progress(pThis,topass){
          if(pThis.nodeName=='INPUT'){pThis.value='...Loading...'}
else{pThis.innerHTML='...Loading...'};
          html_ShowElement('AjaxLoading');
window.setTimeout('$x("wait").src = $x("wait").src', 100);
doSubmit(topass);
</pre>

How to displays the standard open file dialog box in Oracle Apps Server

Hi,
I am having a form, where i am opening a file and putting that file content in a text box.
This is my code written in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger:
declare
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
linebuf VARCHAR2(8000);
filename VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
filename:=GET_FILE_NAME('d:\Rajesh\Practice', File_Filter=>'Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|',select_file=>false);
in_file := Text_IO.Fopen(filename, 'r');
LOOP
Text_IO.Get_Line(in_file, linebuf);
:text_item5:=substr(:text_item5||linebuf||chr(10),1,5000);
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data_found THEN
Text_IO.Put_Line('Closing the file...');
Text_IO.Fclose(in_file);
END;
I have posted this in ORacle Apps Server.Where i was not able to get the Open Dialoq Box.It is giving an error as
"FRM-40735:WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-302000.".
I think the GET_FILE_NAME function is not supported in the Apps Server.
Is there any alternative solution for getting the OPEN DIALOG WINDOW in Oracle Apps Server?
Pls let me know.

Are you sure? I think, that File Dialog, called by LabVIEW File Dialog from Advanced File Functions Palette doesn't blocking any cycles in subVI, which running in UI Thread. Look in my old example (that was prepared for other topic, but may be good for this topic too).
2 linus:
I think, you must a little bit reorganize you application for to do this. You must put your File Dialog into separated cycle. This cycle, of course, will be blocked when File Dialog appear on the screen. But other cy
cle, which responsible for visualization will run continuosly at the same time...

Greyed-out Files in the Open File Dialog Box

I recently installed Logic Express 8 and then attempted to open a Garageband project. I used 'File Open' from the menu. When I click on my Garageband folder the dialog box shows all the .band files as greyed-out. This is also happening with older version of Logic Express such as the Tutorial song file.
Anyone with a idea or seen this before?

It seems to be a rather glaring bug in LE8 that will hopefully be fixed in the next update. In the meantime you can open LE8 files by going to File/Open Recent after launching. From there, other files can be opened by clicking on the Media button on the top right and then the Browser tab. Find your file & double click to open it. Also, you can just double-click a file on your desktop to launch Logic.
GarageBand files can be opened by right-clicking and selecting "open with LE8."

Open File dialog box pops up even when file type is supposed to automatically open

Even though I have selected "Do this automatically for files like this" the dialog still pops up when I click on that file type.
Thanks

An automatically download action is tied to a specific MIME type that the server send via the HTTP response headers and not to the file extension.<br />
So it is possible that you have created this action for a different (or generic) file type.

Using the Escape key in simulations and assessments

I have recently recorded a simulation/assessment that needs to use the Escape key to close a pop-up window and returns to the main application window. The recording has not been an issue; however, using Escape with failure messages is proving to be tricky. Here's what I have discovered while resording my sim/assess, along with my questions:
When I press Escape, Captivate captures this keystroke as a shortcut attached to a Click Box. This works on the assessment side, but fails to produce a failure message on the assessment side when the user does not press the Escape key.
I need to produce a failure message when the user does not press Escape.
Can I storethe unicode value of Escape in a TEB variable and then use an if . . . else statement to either advance to the next slide (success action) or produce a caption that mimics a failure caption? If so, how would I write this item?
Could I use a Loss of focus trigger instead?
Does Captivate have a variable that records a unicode value (Something like CPKeyPressedValue"?
Are there any other alternatives?

In the case of buttons and clickbox objects, where clicking is allowed, the failure is normally registered when the user CLICKS OUTSIDE the button or click box. The evaluation of Success/Fail happens on the click.
In the case of a Text Entry Box, the interactivity is all about what the user enters into the text field and whether or not it is correct/incorrect when compared to approved answer text. The main purpose of the TEB object is not centered on the clicking of the button that accompanies the text field. The button just provides a way to trigger the Success/Failure evaluation of the user interaction with the text field.
Since you have deselected Allow Mouse Click for your click box, you've effectively made it mandatory to use keystrokes to trigger the Success/Failure evaluation of the object. So clicking outside the box is no longer going to do anything because Allow Mouse Click is off. You'll get a failure message on this click box now for many (but not all) keystrokes that are not the one assigned.
By the way, using the Escape key as a keystroke if you Preview the project in Captivate just shuts down the preview (as you've probably already found out).

How can I get the escape key to work again?

I've used "esc" to get out of VI's insert mode for 40 years. I am not going to relearn that keystroke as "ctl-esc", period. Even if I were to do that, then I'd be typing ctl-esc on other platforms where it would not work because I have to type "esc" alone. If there is a way to fix in in System Preferences->keyboard, I cannot find it. If there is not, then it is completely 100% brain-dead wrong. I hope that's not the case. So there is definitely a bug:
The key-up event on the escape key does not cause the escape key code to be delivered to the active window when no other key is pressed, or
The UI is sufficiently obtuse that the cause of the suppression cannot readily be found.
I do hope it is merely the latter because I am compelled to use Outlook and Outlook does not work properly under OS/X 10.6. (Our Exchange Server is rigged to only allow Outlook clients to send email outside of the company.)
Thank you.

The answer is: The bug is in the UI. Speech recognition was enabled, by default it uses the bare escape key as a "mic on" indicator, and it does not leave any trace in the keybord configuration. So that is the bug. It needs to leave a trace there, a la: "X Listen-for-voice-command ^" under Mission Control.

Bug: problems with the Escape key

Hi all,
In an attempt to get around real estate problems, I set my Dell 24" monitor in portrait mode. Logic 8 behaves as it should most of the time. However, there appears to be a problem with the Escape key. Most of the time, the Tools menu doesn't appear until you mouse out of the editing areas (eg into the menu area above the piano roll).
Clearly, Logic should just take its resolution and screen dimensions from the OS but there appears to be a problem in extreme portrait mode.
I'll report this but wanted to check that I'm not being an absolute and total plonker first. Anybody confirm this behaviour?
Thanks!
Pete

that sounds like a memory issue. have you tried reorganizing memory?

Open File dialog window when setting the value of a path type input argument in a VI call

Hi,
I am new to TestStand (running 4.0) and I want to create a sequence of VIs to turn on, setup and measure a device. One of my VIs sends a configuration file to my device. An input argument to this VI is the path of the config file. I would like to make it simple to modify this path when setting up the sequence by popping up the File Open dialog window and choose my file. Is this possible? I do not want to manually change the file during execution, just to have multiple calls of one VI, each call opening a different file according to the path given to it during the setup.
So far I have only succeeded in manually entering the absolute path each time I add this step. What makes it even more annoying is the fact that LabVIEW interprets the path with the escape codes, rendering the path unusable. Manually adding a 2nd backslash at each '\' occurence adds another step to the process. I tried both String and Path type of inputs, and the SearchandReplace() or ToUpper() (trying to bypass the escape codes) functions in TestStand don't seem to help m.
Your help is very much appreciated,
Fred

Eudaemonic,
If you want to create a series of easy to configure step types so others can develop sequence files easily, you could use custom step types. When you create a custom step type you implement your own configuration dialog. Since you have control over what controls you expose in your configuration dialog, you can design it so the desired path is selected using a open file dialog. Refer to chapter 13 of the TestStand reference manual for more information about custom step types.
If you do not want to create a custom step type but you still want to give access to your sequence developers to pre-configured steps, you can use templates. A step template is a snapshot of a step that you can reuse later. Let's assume that instead of asking your users to edit the step to enter the desired path, you create several step templates with different pre-configured paths and based on their applications requirements they could use the appropriate template. Refer to the NI TestStand Help for more information about the Templates list on the Insertion Palette.
Hope it helps.
Antonio Lie.

How can I change the default "file type" in the open file dialog when using Firefox on certain web pages?

I work for a bankruptcy attorney. We use the Court's file upload to file our documents. When I am on the Court's site and I have to pick a file to upload, the "open file" dialog box pops up. In Firefox, the default "file type" is always "image" files. I need it to be "all files". How can I change this setting?

Two observations.
First — "Tools-> ...." is specific to Acrobat X and XI. It did not exist prior to Acrobat X.
Second — Acrobat 9 Pro / Standard (nor earlier release) does not support viewing a PDF page containing a scanned image and performing a right-click ... Save Image As.
The context menu provided by Acrobat 9 Pro with a right-click on a scanned image is:
The context menu,from a right-click with the TouchUp Object tool selected, for Acrobat 9 Pro is:

o.k. Duncan, Grant, Frank
Dudes, I ran from pillar to post and convinced the management to use webutil. We are on 9ias release 2, and we have downloaded the 10g version of webutil as per your recommendation.
I'm going to post all my configuration tommorow, for the starters, after completing the configuration
The webuitl is doownload to the C drive in the directory c:\webutil.
1.Orion-web.xml
2.Sun2.env ( our env file) ( we have a custon env file)
Here we added webutil_config variable
We added the recommended entry to the classpath.
3.formsweb.cfg
-Here under sun2 confg, we added the 3 webutil html pages( commented out the same under default config)
-we added the webutilarchive entry
-envfile=sun2.env
Now questions:
1.In the regedit for oracle forms home, we did not find the forms90_path , so I added the c:\webutil\forms path to
the forms90 registry entry.
But I did find forms90_path variable in the sun2.env, there is also a forms90 variable in this env file. Should I
add c:\webutil\forms to both of these variables in sun2.env.
Does this mean trouble ?
2. When I tried to loginto the application after completing the configuration, I ran into the following error
FRM-47023 , unable to find parameter form_sso ( very close to this)
Now what's next?
Thanks

How do I get back to the newest file dialog box style in LabVIEW?

I have LabVIEW 7.1 and LabVIEW 6.0.2 installed on the same machine. When I doubleclick a .vi file it tries to open in LV602. Of course, if it is a LV71 VI I get an error and it doesn't open. Then I run LV71 and load the desired VI--in this case by using the Open arrow to find it in the "recently opened" list. Now, I've made this mistake before, especially when I don't remember whether I used LV602 or LV71 to create the VI, and nothing bad has happened.
But this time something undesirable did happen: all Open File dialog boxes are of the old funky style. How do I get the file dialog boxes back that I've grown used to seeing when I use LV71?
CLUES:
1. I get the old style dialog box even when I try to open a VI--not just when a running VI invokes it.
2. The built version of the VI brings up the correct, new style, file dialog box--unlike the development environment.
I haven't found any settings in the options area that would appear to affect the file dialog box style. Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

versions' DAQ functionality on the development computer, though it is
still painful to be able to have only one version of NIDAQ available on
a given target computer. It's probably a marketting decision
meant to encourage users to stay on the straight-and-narrow upgrade

NI-DAQ has usually been working fine in
several different installed LabVIEW versions on my computer. What is
important is the order of installation. Start first with the lowest
LabVIEW version and install the latest NI-DAQ that supports that
LabVIEW version. Then go to the next LabVIEW version and install again
the latest NI-DAQ version that supported this LabVIEW version and so
on. I'm regularly working with 6.1 up to 7.1 and starting with 8.0
slowly and haven't had real show stoppers yet.
