Why does finder open multiple windows in preview if I ask for several photos to view?

When I ask finder to open a list of photos in Preview it will open some of them in one window and some of them in another window. How do I fix this? It should open them all in one window.

I was trying to open the photos in Preview from Finder. I just tried it directly from Preview. It works correctly that way.

  • Why does firefox opens new window/tab when i click on a link

    if I click any link in Firefox it will open another blank window in addition to the link clicked, blank window opens on top. how do I stop this

    If a website codes its links to open in a new window, you can divert that to a new tab.
    The basic setting for this is here:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
    The first checkbox: "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
    In some cases, a website uses a script to launch a new window with special features, such as a set height/width, or with one or more toolbars removed. To avoid breaking sites that create dialog boxes this way, Firefox does not normally divert this kind of window to a new tab. However, if you wanted to send these to a tab as well, there is a hidden setting you can change. (See: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1035103#answer-662627])
    If Firefox is sending ALL links to new windows or new tabs, you might have an extension like Tab Mix Plus or Tab Utilities which changes the built-in tab handling features. You would need to explore their settings to get it just the way you want it.

  • Finder opened multiple windows and now will not respond.

    I was importing music from back up disks onto my new iMac and when I clicked into a folder in my iTunes Music folder finder opened all the band's (maybe 30 total) folders and now Finder is not responding at all. I have tried a relaunch, I have tried force quit, I have even hard restarted using the power on/off button as choosing power down from the apple menu is not working. I can not access the library folder to make any changes to files located within it. I'm unsure of where else to go from here. It's been almost 5 years since I've owned a computer at all and I've never encountered this issue.

    Hi Colin,  I was hopeful this might work, but no joy at all.  Tried it several times, including after a restart.  Still the same problem.  I get window with 2 options, Restore windows/Do not restore windows.  Irrespective of which one I choose, mail tries to open properly and then crashes.  I see my mail window, with all my folders, it attempts to restore the mobileme folder, then crashes.  Thanks for the suggestion anyway.  I have moved across to Postbox until a fix is found.

  • Why does FF open two windows when I open it? Why can't I close the second window without closing FF altogether?

    After FF automatically updated it started opening two windows whenever I start FF. One window has the open tabs from my previous session and the other window has only the FF home page open in one tab, nothing else. I can't close either window without shutting FF down altogether. I have limited RAM (3GB), running Mac Lion, which eats up a lot of resources and now FF eats up the rest. It's a real pain in the ass.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Opening Multiple Windows in Preview

    Does anyone know how I can open a bunch of photos in different individual windows without opening each picture individually?
    When you double click a bunch of highlighted photos all at one time you end up with one picture in one preview window and all the other photos in the drawer off of that one preview window, making it impossible to view two photos side by side at the same time.
    Thanks in advance for any and all help.

    In the Preview preferences, select the option under the Images tab that opens image files the way you like.

  • Why is Finder opening new windows every time I drag a photo onto the desktop?

    I've been having a couple of issues with my desktop (I am running 10.7.5):
    1. When I save a photo by dragging it onto my desktop, it opens a new Finder window. It's only started doing this today, and I haven't changed any of my Preferences. How can I turn this function off?
    2. I used to be able to drag a photo from my web browser to my desktop to save it. When it saved, it would stay where it was dragged. However, about a month ago, the files began snapping into rows rather than where I dragged them as well as piling up in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. How can I fix this so that they stay whereever I drag them when saving?
    Thanks!

  • Why when I try to open a PDF file in Firefox 6 or earlier versions, why does it open multiple tabs, endlessly opening empty tabs in the browser?

    Rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions
    You get tabs opening endlessly if you select the Firefox program to handle a file when you get an "Open with" dialog.
    You should never select Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get the open with download dialog.

  • Why does Firefox open multiple instances of .mht files?

    Running laptop with WIN 7, I have changed the default program associated with file type for .mht files from Windows IE to Firefox.
    Now, when I attempt to open a .mht file on my hard disc, Firefox then proceeds to open seemingly countless instances of the file. I stop Firefox after about 10-15 instances before I use up all my (4Gb) memory.

    I think Firefox requires an add-on to open MHT files intelligently.
    Two pop up in a search on the Add-ons site:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/tag/MHT
    Maybe that will help? Or if you have one of them, maybe try the other?

  • Why does Firefox open new windows unnecessarily, sometimes opening them on top of existing windows? Is this a setting problem?

    When I try to open a new tab in the existing window, Firefox either opens a new window or overwrites the content in a different, existing window...

    This may be related to session restore.

  • Why does FEBE backup popup window pop up every time I open the Firefox browser, even after I just backed up FEBE????

    Since I installed 7.0.1, it has been nothing but trouble. It locks up frequently. Menu and add-on toolbar does not always load. FEBE does not recognize any previous backup, and wants to backup every time Firefox is opened, every time, even if I open multiple windows. The only way I could stop the FEBE popup was to schedule it to backup on browser shutdown or start up. Any scheduled option, including NO SCHEDULED BACKUP makes no difference. As soon as I open the browser the FEBE backup popup, pops up. I want a previous version back.

    You can delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.
    You may also need to "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

  • Is there a way to open multiple windows in firefox 5.0? I can't do it from windows quicklaunch and the right click"open in new window" does nothing.

    Yeah, not much more to say. Since I upgraded to firefox 5.0, I can no longer open multiple windows. Multiple tabs work, but I don't like tabs. Please help.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Want to open multiple windows not tabs; won't let me.

    I have Windows XP. Since I upgraded to 7.0.1 (and today 8.0) I have not been able to open multiple windows of Firefox. I have not ticked OPEN TABS INSTEAD OF WINDOWS, but Firefox either opens nothing at all, when I try to start a 2nd window of it, or it opens a tab. Please fix this.

    Does it still happen ifyou start Firefox in Save mode?
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    If it does work properly in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
