Why Browse File Dialog Box Starts Part-Way Down?

Whenever I am presented with a dialog box to browse files, the list of
files always starts up showing the filename about 1/5 the way down
the list, even though I always (at least recently) have had to access
a file at the beginning of the list.  This is a minor annoyance but I was
wondering why.  I'd expect it to default to either the approximate area
of the list where I'd last selected a file, or perhaps come up with the
file at the top of the list selected or at least visible.  Seems strange
to me, and I was wondering if there was a way of changing that.

  • Provide a start path (folder) in a file dialog box

    Is there a way to have a file dialog box start in a specific folder without using the File Dialog express VI? (I also don't want to use a system exec).
    Thanks.
    Richard
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I was refering to functions which support the desired feature. As you already encountered, the Open/Create/Replace File.vi does not support this.
    The Express VI "File Dialog.vi" uses the same file dialog as used in the example "Write to Text File.vi". You can find the VI using the link in the help of Open/Create/Replace File.vi.
    Please note that the context help of this File Dialog states that "LabVIEW no longer supports this function on the block diagram. National Instruments recommends you use the File Dialog Express VI instead."
    I assume that this text is written due to being platform-independent. It still works under Windows, but i can think of future releases of LV not to support this feature anymore (as stated in the help).
    And still, you did not answer why you don't want to use the express vi....

  • Why can't I preview indd files within InDesign's open file dialog box?

    Hello all,
    It is bad enough that Adobe doesn't add a plugin to preview any Adobe source file within Windows Explorer (well, except for PDF but I think Microsoft did that).
    But I find it ridiculous that I cannot preview .indd source files inside InDesign's Open File dialog box. It just states, "No preview available". I am sure this failure is tied into what Windows can preview... still, not a good excuse!
    This is also the same problem in both Illustrator and Photoshop.... neither Adobe program can preview their own file format!
    WHY?  OR How can I correct this?
    [UPDATE: SageThumbs | SourceForge.net seems to partially work on many Photoshop files (works reasonably well as long as I limit the file size to 70mb), it doesn't seem to work on Illustrator files (despite the claim), and it doesn't work on InDesign.]
    Still, the question remains, why isn't Adobe taking responsibility for this? 

    I think you all misunderstood.
    I am referring to opening files *within* the Adobe software. Example: Inside InDesign, I click File > Open... I see a list of my .indd files and to the right is a window with the words, "Select a file to preview."  If I select an .indd file, I think it is reasonable to assume that I will see a preview of the .indd file... but NO, I just see the message, "No preview available."
    In my opinion, this is a failing of Adobe!
    > Use bridge
    Why would I want to open a separate program just to see thumbnails? Sure Bridge has its uses when I want to look at a lot of different images but I am only talking about quickly seeing a thumbnail before I open a single file within either InDesign, Photoshop, or Illustrator.
    Q. If Bridge can render thumbnails, why on Earth would Adobe not place the preview code into the open file dialog of each program?

  • Type Kit- Why does a dialog box appear when opening a file?

    Type Kit- Why does a dialog box appear every time I open a file- asking to substitute fonts that I've had working for years. Also, what is that pink box around the type- they are not missing fonts.

    Which version?- Latest Creative Cloud Type Kit
    Which system?- Mac OS 10.10.1, iMac 7i
    Where does the file come from? File is an Adobe Illustrator CC
    Which fonts?- Any and all fonts that was used in the .ai file which I have been using for years.
    Do you use font management? Which one? Mac Font Book
    Are you really sure that your fonts are properly installed? Yes and verified.    
    Did it ever work? Yes, Ever since I opened Font Kit on Creative Cloud I get a window stating that the fonts in an existing file are missing and do I want to substitute.
    Did you just upgrade?- Apps always upgraded.
    Did you change systems?- Ever since I opened Font Kit on Creative Cloud
    The PINK box around the type, I believe, indicates a missing font- but they are not missing and I'm sure as hell not going to let Type Kit control MY FONTS.  How do I turn it off as the pink box is intruding with the design composition???
    SEE Sumit Singh’s reply- worked for the pink highlight. I have to see about the dialog box thing- I will let you know.

  • 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.

  • File Dialog Box often takes a long time to execute

    Hi all
    The Labview File Dialog Box Express VI sometimes takes 5 to 10 seconds to execute. On other occasions, it executes in a blink of an eye. Why is that so?
    I have tried to use the older Open/Create/Replace File VI as suggested in one of the forum's posts...but it behaves exactly the same way. Another problem is the trimming of the filename, which has also been reported and has NOT YET been solved.
    (By the way...Recently, I updated to LV 2012 SP2 by suggestion of the NI Update Manager, only to find out that I was not entitled to this SP (which apparently only includes bug fixes) and I will have to roll back to LV 2012. Still,  in the evaluation version I can see that the bug is not fixed. Labview must have a lot of serious bugs for NI to ask for a paid bug fix, in which some bugs remain after having been reported a long time ago..well...)
    What worries me now is that intermittent lag in the execution of the File Dialog (such a basic basic function of a program...). Anyone have any idea about this? The support menu said "Ask an engineer"...any of the NI engineers has any suggestion?
    Regards
    Helder

    The file dialog is provided by the OS, so if it is slow it is not LabVIEW's fault.
    What kind of computer do you have? Is this a laptop that spins down the HD to save power? In this case it needs to wait for the HD to spin up. (You can change the windows power profile or you can spend more money and get an SSD).
    Are you very low on memory?
    Does your LabVIEW program waste 100% CPU in parallel doing nothing due to bad coding?
    Are you pointing to a location that has millions of files?
    Are you pointing to a network location?
    helder:---------------------------------------
    I understand that the File Dialog is provided by the OS. But I have other applications on my PC and this doesn't happen - just in Labview. Sorry! And sometimes it
    doesn't happen. Every 10 times I open the File dialog Box, 5 times it takes long and 5 times it is immediate.
    (I am not low on memory, my coding is not bad>-look at the VI I sent, it just contains the fragment which uses the File Dialog Box and it behaves the same way! I am pointing to the same location that the other applications point to, I am not pointing to a network location, the PC is not spinning the disk down, etc etc.)
    But yes, I will try it on another PC
    (There was another post on the forum on this issue, but can't seem to find it now, just find my own post )
    I attach a video demo of what happens.

    What problem is that? Can you elaborate? There is a known bug in the windows dialog box that sometimes the pre-filled file names are shifted and not fully visible. This is a windows bug documented by Microsoft and LabVIEW has no control over it. It is not NIs job to fix OS problems.
    helder:-------------------------------------------
    Of course you can't fix the OS.
    If it is a windows bug, we will have to live with it.
    A previous post on your forum did not provide me with that information (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/File-dialog-trimmi​ng-the-default-name/td-p/2189874). The fact that it is a windows bug was not mentioned there.

    Patches are included, service packs are not included. I think this is well documented. Most users are on SSP, this way you are always entitled to the newest version.
    As with anything else, software has bugs. It is impossible to test a huge, complex system like LabVIEW under all scenarios. The possible number of combinations of hardware and other installed software on any particular computer probably exceeds the number of atoms in the universe. It is actually amazing how few bugs there are and how well it works. What "bug" are you talking about? Bugs are prioritized according to rules. Critical bugs are typically fixed very quickly. A cosmetic issue that only affects you and nobody else will take longer or might not even get fixed. Are you talking about a confirmed bug that could be reproduced by NI? Do you have a CAR#?
    helder:----------------------------------------
    I was referring to the file-name-shifting-cosmetic-bug that the October-2012 post had indicated. But if it is a Windows-bug, NI does not have any responsibility, of
    course.
    Regarding the bugs, of course they are unavoidable.
    helder wrote:

    That sentence makes no sense! Why would the number of serious bugs depend on the cost of upgrading?? You are just rambling here....
    In an ideal world, NI would have an unlimited number of programmers that can work 24/7 to immediately fix any discovered bug. This would only be possible if all users are willing to pay an unlimited amount of money for the software. As I mentioned, bug fixes are free in the form of patches, and they come out regularly. Service packs include new features and are not free.
    helder:---------------------------------------
    "....include new features"..????
    ---->>From http://www.ni.com/labview/release-details/
    "LabVIEW 2012 Service Pack 1 is an exclusive update to LabVIEW 2012 for NI Standard Service Program (SSP) customers. There are no new product features introduced in service pack releases; instead, these releases provide bug fixes and improved stability for LabVIEW 2012. For a list of these bug fixes, click here."
    No new features, just bug fixes!"
    Moreover: If it isn't free, it shouldn' have let me update if I am not a SSP costumer.
    Now I have a 45 days evaluation version. After that, I have to uninstall and reinstall everything.That takes some time and effort.
    If there is a more direct way of rolling back t the previous version, please let me know.
    Thank you

  • File dialog box: how get full path and filename (firefox 3.0 problem)

    Hi,
    I have a smilar problem then discussed in this thread: file dialog box: how get  full path and filename
    Now this solution doesn't seem to work in firefox 3.0,I only get the filename but not the full path.
    I have tried to solve this problem by adding *"netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalFileRead");"* in a javacript function but that doesn't do the trick
    Although when i tested it local it does work.
    Any idees how to solve this?
    Best Regards
    Stijn

    Actually, that is strange and scarry. With 20% of the browser market share they decide to behave like Microsoft did in the past - they want to decide what users need and what they do not need. With 3.0 I have a real problem with some of my applications. They are all tested in IE6, IE7, FF2.0 and they all work the same way (they even work with Opera and Safari). Now, I will for sure not go there and make it work for 3.0, just because 2 out of 200 users use FF3.0. Up to now I have always recomended FF as the best browser. 3.0 causes my opinion to change completely. Competition is always good but it is a question if it is good if we have 20 different browsers out there with equal market shares.

  • 'Open a File' dialog box doesn't show 'Favorites'

    InDesign CS6, Windows 7:
    File/Open gives me this:
    Notice there are no 'Favorites' on the left.  I have to 'browse' for my file each time.  I have a ton of files on the network, and it takes several clicks to get to them.  Annoying when I'm opening several files a day.  The 'Recent Places' isn't too helpful here either.
    Now look at what happens in InDesign CC, Windows 7 with a File/Open:
    Look at all the 'Favorites' and easy browsing on the left side.  Why are the 'Open a File' dialog boxes so different in CS6 and CC?  I want the CS6 'Open' dialog to be just like the CC one.  (I prefer to use CS6, CC is buggy on my system.)

    Not helpful.
    What it is... is cumbersome and un-necessary.  Every other program in Windows  (even Word Pad) opens with the 'standard'  dialog with Favorites on the left.  Why did Adobe program it differently?  There has to be a fix in Preferences or something...

  • File Dialog Box Position

    Hi there,
    I've been unable to find anyone else mention this problem, but then again, I'm not exactly what to search for.
    Since installing Lion, I've had a problem where when I try to open the file dialog box to save or open a file, it's position is always further down.  This is annoying, especially for programs that open files from my Download folder, which is continuinally growing as I add more stuff.  The sort on this is by date, and so usually I want to open the most recently downloaded file, which I have to scroll further and further up each time.
    Is there any way I can get it to jump to the top?
    See the attached image to see what I mean exactly.
    Thanks!

    the length of the session is not the problem. it is set to 50bpm at 29.97 drop frame which gives me 2138 bars at 3 hours 51 minutes record time. I only used 1896 bars at 2.5 hours to record the program and there were only 5 tracks recorded. the problem starts when I try to bounce the session to an interleaved stereo file either online or offline. a dialog window says it will exceed 2gigs and prevents me from performing the bounce. only when I select split stereo instead of interleaved within the bounce window does it let me bounce. I think it is because the 2 resulting mono files(left and right)are each less than 2gigs. Is there a limit to the file size you can create when bouncing?
    a 2gig file sounds small to me when there are video files much larger within video editing software.

  • Open file/browse-file dialog window size too small

    It seems like the size of the "Open file" and "Browse file"-dialog windows have become too small to use efficiently.
    I'm not sure if this is related to the latest updates from testing, but it wasn't like this before. I have to resize the dialog window every time in order to be able to select files and folders.
    The changes are not saved across the same session of a program, but it does result in unpredictable behavior in gedit.
    If I resize the open file dialog, then close the dialog, then open it again, the changes are sometimes preserved, but not always. Sometimes it's small and sometimes it's resized, and there's no way of telling.
    I'm running compiz-fusion and emerald, but the bug is not related to window manager, as it's the same with metacity and openbox. So it's for all GTK programs.
    When I try to run gnome-appearance-properties, I get:
    "Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
    Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager."
    and the problem remains no mather what GTK theme I choose.
    Is gnome-settings-daemon responsible for this kind of behavior?

  • Home view major bug: Home view navigation not available in Common File Dialog Box (i.e. Java, Adobe Photoshop etc)

    Homeview major bug: Homeview navigation not available in Common File Dialog Box (i.e. Java, Adobe Photoshop etc)
    Hi
    All though provisioning somewhat more flexsible and pointing forward ... things are starting to go wrong here ... i.e. pointing to a very potential lack of success introducing users to the new Home namespace/concept ...
    0) Situation if you do not fix 1 + 2:
    You can not release the Homeview feature like this - without fixing 1 + 2.
    If not 1 +2 is fixed you might just as well leave the release of the Homeview feature out of the roadmap for Windows 10. I.e. not ready for use ... or promotion in the UI
    1) How come Homeview has not been included - like other namespaces i.e. Libraries into the Common File Dialog Box?
    How can such a trivial thing to do be missed? I.e. like forgetting to include Homeview into Explorer (would be absurd).
    If not included into the Places Bar of the Common File Dialog Box ... Home View will be unusable - because some very visible applications like Java, Photoshop will not be able to navigate that space easily at all.
    2) Finally, please fix obscure situation in the UI namespace in Explorer
    Please fix obscures like having Home view, Favorites and Libraries (side-by-side complexity and confusion obscuring usability) - all similar concepts but on a different evolutionary step. I.e. have Favorites and Libraries
    hidden - and add i.e. view control like to small buttons whatever to unhide/show the legacy concepts.
    In any case - Home view already seem to migrate/move links from Favorites to the Homeview container.
    Additionally, Home view should migrate links from Libraries to Home view - and provide similar and better functionality.
    Thus going the evolutionary way from Libraries > Favorites > Home - with the later concept of Home providing links to the cloud. Even better, sync relation ships could then later (extended features for Home) be set up among the pins - i.e. concerning
    cloud/network syncing.
    The UI should always reflect the 1 essentional concept - and not under the hood technologies or different evolutionary stages of the same basic/essential concept (technology/implementation free - abstract: "Home with pining of user data space"
    - was previously favorites or libraries (thus obsoleted)). Now the name for that concept is Home. Have it include the technology that replaces Libraries too - i.e. categorization/nesting ... and some whitespace inbetween the nesting (alike some whitespace
    already there inbetween the namespaces in the Explorer UI ... provides easy "modular" reading)

    Hi,
    Please clarify the following:
    * "X: is a network drive, but it's actually a network drive on my machine." - Is "X" a mapped drive to one of your shared folder on network?
    * What is the project directory structure with respect to WEB-INF/web.xml? Are you able to see the three pages (from web & pages folder) in NitroX Editor?
    * Does the modified content appear in "Design view" of index.jsp upon restarting NitroX?
    Ex:
    - modify one of the pages in "web" folder > save the file (alert appears)
    - restart NitroX, does index.jsp display the modified content of included page?
    * If possible please send the test case project which exhibits the behavior to [email protected]
    Thanks,

  • Deleting text in a file dialog box via simulated keyboard strokes

    I am trying to delete text in a file dialog box via simulated keyboard strokes, but the key combination of SHIFT down - HOME - END - SHIFT up does not highlight the text as expected. I attach an example vi that opens its own file open box, enters a text string, which it should subsequently delete. But it is not deleting the text as expected. What do I need to change?

    Test_Delete_Text_in_File_Dialog_Box.vi ‏40 KB

    Pbuerki,
    It looks like you are doing all the keystrokes correctly. My only guess as to why it is not highlighting is that the keybd_event function does not support advanced key code commands. The function is outdated and has been superseded. See the follow MSDN link for more information: MSDN keybd_event.
    There are probably some easier ways to accomplish your overall objective. What are you trying to do? Do you simply want to programmatically open a file?

    Does any body could explain why this problem appear ?
    By switch off on LabView Tool parameter "Use native file dialogs" (picture_2). the problem disapear. Unfortunately this kind of old dialog box is not practical...

  • How to create a custom file dialog box/vi (win)??

    Hello,
    I'd like to create a custom file dialog box to handle the reading of my tdms files. Basicly I want to extend the existing file select dialog box with a graphical preview of the data in the selected file. I know I can create all the logic for file selection by hand and use a list box to display the filelist, but I would rather prefer to somehow use the existing windows controls. So is it possible to get the windows file selector on the front panel of a vi and react to the user selection? If so, is there any example available on how to do this? Any other options? I'm using labview 8.2
    thanks for your input!

    Klaus,
    I wouldn't know that Microsoft provides access to the controls that Explorer and file dialog consist of.
    There might be a different and more powerful solution though. The
    WINDOWS Explorer / file dialog have a plugin API that allows you to
    associate your own application for thumbnail creation with a particular
    file extension. That way, TDMS thumbnails will show in any instance of
    Explorer and
    File Dialog without you having to make your own dialog. Basically, you
    would need to compile the VI that creates the thumbnail into a
    LabVIEW-built DLL and then wrap this DLL with some C++ boilerplate code
    that Microsoft provides. You might want to have a look at the bottom of
    this article to get an idea of how the whole thing works:

    Hope that helps,
