When right clicking an image in Bridge, the "open with" option doesn't display Fireworks

This is not the case with all the files, but some. For example, there was a .jpg file that I couldn't open in Fireworks when right clicking and choosing "open with", although Illustrator and Photoshop were both listed. Note: I have Cs5 Extended. Thank you in advance.

The "open with" menu is set in the OS, not Bridge, so open Windows Explorer and work on it from there to add what you want.

When right clicking to send a link , the` send link` option does not appear as n option on the menu list.

the ``send link`` option just disappeared..It happened immediately after an automatic update to firefox when my computer has to be restarted about a month ago.
sometimes a ``copy link location`` will be on the list...and that will allow me to send on a link..but normally now it rarely appears and send link has disappeared entirely from the right clicked menu box.

hello bblauman, mozilla does clean up the interface of the browser from time to time - a user study has shown that this context menu entry is only used by a small fraction of the users. however, in case you miss this functionality you could use an addon to recover it: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/send-link-in-context-menu/

Why is the "open with" option always grayed out when I click on a file link?

For example, when accessing an email account with firefox and I click on an .mp3 attachment the "open with" choice is always grayed out. This issue is not exclusive to email attachments rather all file links that I click on any site give me the same result. I am using MAC OS X Mavericks.
How can I restore the "open with" selection?
Thanks for your time,

You can try rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

How do i get the "open with" option back for pdfs after accidentally hitting the save option which now automatically saves any pdf?

Normally when I click on a pdf I would get an option to "Open With" or Save. I usually just opened pdfs first. I accidentally clicked on the Save option in this dialog box and now when I click on any pdf it automatically asks me where I want to save it. I want to get the "open With" option back, because I don't necessarily want to save a copy of every pdf.

Mountain Lion was released in 2012, so I suppose there might be advice in old threads or on the Apple forums if you don't get a response here right away.

The "always open with-" option doesn't work!

Is there a way to get the "Always open with" option when doing a (control) (option) click on a file to actually ALWAYS open with the application I choose? Could this feature be broken or perhaps mislabeled?
Here's what happens; I'll set a file to "always open with" one application. I work on that file and save it. The next time I try to open that file it opens with the snow leopard default application instead of using the application I directed it to "Always open with".
I don't want to open every file type with this application so I'm not setting "apply to all" in the info window/ inspector, I simply want this one file to always open with the application I've selected.
I'm hoping some of you super mac users will know a trick to make this work.

I want to open a few select files with a non-default application (now that the creation code is not used.)...If I work on the file and make/save any changes, it reverts to the default app.
Aha! Okay, I don't think any of us were getting that in the initial posts. You are correct. Snow Leopard no longer uses Type and Creator codes by default, but they are still there. Various things are keeping you from doing what you want.
1) Newer programs that do not use Type and Creator codes at all still need a way to tell the OS what files belong to them. Since at least back as far as Leopard (likely earlier), the system now uses Uniform Type Identifiers. As far as keeping track of what files belong to what applications, they serve the same purpose as Type and Creator codes. So when you save changes, it will indeed revert back to the default app since the file once again gets saved with that program's UTI data.
2) Some programs use both UTI and Type and Creator codes. Usually older apps that have come from PPC code. I would guess that would be either because the developer doesn't want to waste time removing the code that adds the Type and Creator codes to the files, or more likely, to make sure files passed to other users still on older Macs that don't use UTI won't have trouble opening them.
3) I use some much older apps which have still not been rewritten at all for Intel Macs and are still all PPC code. They still write Type and Creator codes.

When installing adobe to iPod, Where is the 'Open With' in safari?

Couldn't find Open With, help.

I guess you think of the Acrobat Reader.app for pdf files ( hint : Adobe has also lots of other apps for iOS )
Safari has built in pdf support, so it wont open it in apps that basically do the same.

Can I control the "open with" options in apps on the ipad?

I have a school loop app that allows access to files stored in a remote folder, similar to dropbox. I can see the files and when I select one I have an option to choose which app to used to open a document (it might be a word doc, a pdf, a ppt, etc.). The app options that show as available are not the apps that will open documents, however, I do have apps on my ipad that will open they - but they do not show up, ie: PDF Expert, Quick Office, Pages, etc. Can I control what apps appear in "open with" dialogue boxes?
Thanks for any help.

Simple answer: no.

The "open with" dialog doesn't drop down associated applications

Although I have correctly associated applications to handle specific file types in FF4.0 I am always asked to choose an application in the open/save dialog. Is there any way I can set some sort of drop-down list showing the associated applications for me to choose one? Thanks!

I have found further issues with the open directory dialog in FM 9 and FM 10, so I thought I would share them in case any developers run into them.
If the F_ApiChooseFile directory argument is specified as a non-empty string and that path is not valid (i.e. the string cannot be evaluated to an existing directory) the open directory dialog will not be displayed and the function will return immediately without reporting an error in FA_errno. I think most developers who have tried to use the dialog have discovered this behaviour. If you are going to supply the directory argument you should check the path exists before calling F_ApiChooseFile.
Also, if the F_ApiChooseFile directory argument is specified as an empty string, the function gets the FP_OpenDir property to use for the directory. If FP_OpenDir is not an existing directory (for example, the directory existed in the previous FrameMaker session and at the end of that session the value was saved in the maker.ini, but since then the user has deleted the directory) the open directory dialog will not be displayed and the function will return immediately without reporting an error in FA_errno.
This problem occurs with API clients built with FDK 9 and FDK10 in FM 9 and FM 10.
The workaround to this issue is to get FP_OpenDir and check it is a valid path. If it is not valid set it to a valid directory (such as the user's home directory, the FrameMaker current directory or the root of the drive) before calling F_ApiChooseFile.
It is a pity that the FP_UserHomeDir property of the FO_Session object is not valid in Windows. It would be ideal if this property returned the user's My Documents directory in Windows.

When I click on FILE/EXIT on any open browser, Firefox doesn't just close that window, but all open windows as well.

Al open Firefox windows, that is.
OS is Windows XP Home Edition SP3

This is actually really poor usability. No other software does this. eg- if I have 3 instances of Word open, clicking File/Exit in one of them doesn't affect the other two.
ie- the issue is that Firefox is going against the general Windows convention adopted by pretty much all other software packages.
ie- Really Irritating!

Lost start menu icons and not listed in right click open with option +more.

Weird. I need help. Quicktime 7.3.0.70 only--Start menu lost it's icons in the quicktime folder. When right clicking video files, the "open with" option no longer displays quicktime as a program. And lastly, open an avi file or even mpg and the program stops responding without even getting to play the file. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times but can't seem to fix these issues. Can anyone help? Thanks. This just seemed to happen out of the blue.

I also have lost the icons for Quicktime in my start menu under Windows XP. The icons actually work when you do click them but the icons are not loaded. Everything functions fine and it's the newest version of Quicktime installed. I also have the newest version of iTunes installed. I ended up manually adding my own icons on the start menu as I've uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime several times to no avail and even attempted to flush the windows icon cache. No go. This just started happening recently.
It's not happening on my WinXP Pro laptop however, although I've yet to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes+Quicktime.
*Right-Click Open With Menu still functions properly and the icon image is appearing correctly in that menu.

What's the earliest version of iTunes to include the playnext and add to play next feature when right clicking a song?

What's the earliest version of iTunes to include the play next and add to play next feature when right clicking a song?

I started out with version 11 and loved it right up to the latest update.
I'm beyond my partying days so DJ has nothing for me but I realy loved the drop down with "what's next", the "play next" and the "add to play next" feature and best of all "SHOW DUPLICATES".
I have an eclectic taste in music and a very extensive music collection to go with it. The "show duplicates" feature allowed me to shrink my library by well ove 1,000 songs and eliminated hearing the same song several times when playing randomly. ie, I have the complete Rolling Stones collection and was able to get rid of no fewer than 7 coppies of "Satisfaction".
With all the duplicates lined up you can sample each one and avoid deleting different versions also.
I'm eagerly waitng for the next update to see if my problems with 11 will be fixed. The current update drops out sections of songs (Whipping Post by the Alman Bros. was over in 3 minutes) and I tried repairing and a complete uninstall, reinstall to no avail.

CS3 Extended - Can't get images from Bridge to open in Photoshop

I am wondering if I have this CS3 installed incorrectly. I had CS2 before and after my hard drive failed I ordered CS3. Before the new CS3 arrived I downloaded Picasa from Google and that was my image viewer in the interim. I also installed a trial CS2 on my computer from finding it on the internet. When I downloaded CS3, my RAW images were opening up in Picasa which I didn't like. So, I went to Picasa's software and clicked no to opening RAW images in it. That fixed that problem and I also uninstalled the CS2 trial. But now my CS3 Adobe Bridge doesn't recognize that there is CS3 Adobe Photoshop when I want to open TIFF or JPEG images. It opens them in Windows viewer. Even when I right click on an image in Bridge to Open with, it only offers me two browsers, Firefox and IE. Where do I go to reset the Bridge images to open in Photoshop? Right now I have to switch back to Photoshop from Bridge and go to File-Open.

In Bridge, go to Edit->Preferences->File Type Associations

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.

No options but PS CC in Bridge's open with dropdown list

Just downloaded Photoshop CC with Photoshop CS6 still installed on my computer. Why working in Bridge I noticed that when right clicking on an image and then the "Open With" link, the only thing showing up is Photoshop CC. It would be nice if CS6 was an option as well. Is there any way to set it so that both are available?
Also, how do I install my Neat Image plug-in in Photoshop CC?
Thanks
Linda

I just closed out CC and opened CS6 and CC is still showing in the open with drop down. I also closed/re-opened Bridge and this did not help.
I also want to mention that I did not download Bridge CC, so I am still using Bridge CS6.
