Why is open file window so slow?
Since about two months ago, when I open a file from a program and the open file window popups up, it takes a while to finally list the contents of a folder. I get the spinny icon in the bottom part of the window.
I though file indexing was automatic on Macs. Spotlight doesn't have this problem. Any ideas why this happens only with the file open window? It occurs for any program.
I did a reboot and tried the open window again. I still get the spinny icon for a while. If I try to open in the same app, it will list files immediately. I tried a couple of more apps and they all showed files immediately.
This may start after the machine has been running for a while. I'm not sure. However, it use to never occur regardless.
From the information below, before the reboot Page-outs was red and had 1.58GB.

I'm trying to export a raw image from lightroom 5.6 to Photoshop cc 2014 2.1. I right click to export menu in lightroom as I've always done to export to Photoshop. Photoshop opens, but it can't open file, window opens to find a file to open. I'd like this to export my lightroom images to edit in photoshop as it has always been able to do for me. What fix do you recommend?
Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

Icon size ('open file' window)
As a newcomer to ML, I have found that the icon size in 'open file' windows is far to small to identify jpg image files
I have increased the icon size that appears in finder windows when set to 'icon view', but this makes no differenceI have found a workaround answer to this in the 'preview' function activated by the space bar, but when using the File>open panel to select files for upload to a website, it only works on 1 file at a time
So I would still be grateful to anyone who knows how to increase the icon size -
Adjust default 'open file' window
Hi, I am a MAC fanatic.... I work all day on my MAC 27" and am constantly opening files....
But how do I customise the 'open file' window. Every time I open a file I have to increase the size of the window, change the view and then look for my files.... is there a way to set the default view to what I would wish it to be?
I have enclosed a screen shot of the default open file window.... I would like a bigger window...... and be able to see 'list view' as opposed to icons each time.
All suggestions would be useful....
Thank you....I don't know how to have the Open window resized by default. However, for the list view just click on the List button in the Open window toolbar:
Once you select the List view in the Open window it should be the default from then on. -

How to set "Date Modified" as default tab in Open File window
Photoshop CS5.1
When I click on Open File, the window that comes up has several default columns (FileName, Date, Size, etc).
I can right-click on the tab bar and add "Date Modified" to the tabs, but I would like to have "Date Modified" be a default column whenever I open the file selector (and no matter which folder I open up).
I cannot find a way to do this. I want to know the last date I modified a file, not when it was created.
Is there a way to universally set this column as a default?Date modified always shows for me in Details view.
I believe what columns are showing has to do with what columns you've set in Windows Explorer...
Here's an excerpt paraphrased from my Configure the Windows 7 "To Work" Options book that may cover what you need:
Open Windows Explorer...
Navigate to a folder of the type you want to see (e.g., one containing your Photoshop images) and set Details view.
Make the window look the way you'd like future Explorer windows to look. Reorganize Details view columns, e.g., to Name, Size, Type, Date Created, Date Modified, Attributes, etc. and size them so they fit.
Choose Tools - Folder options, then click the View tab.
Click [ Apply to Folders ] to apply the above settings to all folders.
[ OK ] to exit.
Hope this helps.
If the Date modified still doesn't stick for you, there are some other things I've done (and documented) to tweak the configuration of my systems that may help make my seeing the columns being set as shown in the attached image when I choose File - Open in Photoshop.

CS6 DW hanging when opening files - Windows 8.1 running MS Defender
When opening files in CS6 DW it sometimes hangs for up to 4 minutes before opening the files.
Also, CS6 DW and Fireworks crash frequently on my PC.
I'm running Windows 8.1, MS Defender and my PC is a Pentium i7 with 8GB of RAM
Any ideas what I can do to stop these things happening? It's really starting to impact on the productivity of my day.You seem to be implying that when you switch off MS Defender, it works?
If not, we'll need a little more info.
Does the hang happen with all files in all sites, or just certain files?
If it happens with just certain files, could you please share the code to one of those files? A link to an online page would be best, but pasting the code into the forum can also help, just don't use email to send the code to the forum, that won't work.
Have you tried any of the standard troubleshooting steps as of yet (Deleting Program Cache, Restoring Preferences, Cleaner Tool Reinstall)? -
Well almost -
Since the latest update the "Open" commnad from within Acrobat X Pro displays a blank window with only four tag lines, i.e. "File name" "Files of type" "Open" and "Cancel"
The rest of thw window is blank and when clicking on the "File name" displays only the last ten or twenty opened files in a narrow column which does not allow identifying the actual files by only displaying the first fourteen characters which denotes the drive and part of a folder.
Having run "Repair..." under "Help" did not solve the problem.
This issue did not occur prior to the last update.
Anyone here expereicned something similar?
Cheers,
MichaelDave
Just uninstalled Acrobat X Pro, using window's "Uninstall" program and now can't re-install it...
To re-install it CS5.5 Master Collection Installer was used.
In the latter's window selected "Install Options", then "Acrobat X Pro", after a few seconds the "Installation Status" window declares "Exit Code: 7" and under "Summary" the following is dendoted - "1 fatal error, 3 errors, 13 warnings".
Also, the computer was restared after Acrobate X Pro was uninstalled.
FYI Acrobat X Pro has only loaded on this computer !
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Michael

My photos are not showing up in the 'Open File' window
When I try to access my Aperture library through the 'Photo' button on the left hand column of the open file dialogue box, I see an option for aperture but it brings up an incomplete version of my library. There do not seem to be any other versions (or older versions) of my Aperture library floating around on my computer. Is this a refresh problem? Is there a way to force a refresh? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joel RichardsBob,
I have had may similar problems lately, as I experiment with putting photos on my iPad and iPhone. (iTunes uses previews from Aperture, and the media browser (File -> Open) uses previews too.)
It seems that something went haywire with Aperture's preview generation in the last year. All I can suggest (from my personal experience) is to select all the photos you want, delete the previews, close Aperture, restart Aperture, regenerate the previews, close Aperture, restart Aperture and then do a couple different random things while waiting to figure out what happened.
I don't mean to sound unhelpful, but that actually is the set of steps I follow when trying to figure out what's wrong with my preview sharing.

this happens from time to time and I think in the past I have done a restart to make it stop. it's possible it only happens while using Adobe InDesign CS3 but I have not watched diligently enough to say for sure. the hard disk repeatedly, every 30 seconds or so, spins up and the entire screen reflows, finishing on the finder with open windows all opening in order. everything moves. then I need to go back to InDesign only to have it happen again. I don't necessarilly touch any keys or the mouse. as I type here it has stopped so maybe it really is an InDesign issue. does anybody know what's going on?
BDAqua and old comm guy,
thanks so much for the good advice. I used both of these and now the problem has stopped. first I checked the finder crash logs and yes, my finder had been crashing repeatedly.
next I removed the preferences files from the library, rebooted from the CD and ran disk utility to repair preferences. since then my computer has been stable.
there were some preferences that didn't get repaired when I ran disk utility. I am copying them here to refer to later if I need to. I don't understand what these mean to me:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpLoad" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/Resources /DiskManagementTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.

Why can't I see my Dropbox files in the Open file window on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014?
When I try to open a file from Dropbox; it does not show up in the selection list.
I have to down load the file to my tablet first. Then I can see it to open. (Pain in the butt).
Is there a way to open dropbox files directly?
Any help is greatly appreciated.This would probably be something they'd have to incorporate, however unlikely due to Creative Cloud being a somewhat-direct competitor in terms of images.

Can't open files Windows machine from on OS X 6.8
I mapped a Windows 7 volume to my Mac. I can see the files and folders. However, when I try to open any file, like a plain text file, Mac reports that the file cannot be opened. I use the same workgroup, username, and password on both machines. I'm an Admin on the Windows box and have full control of the files. Thanks for some help!

Attach/open file window too big for screen
Just recently I've found that when I go to attach a file in email for example, or open something in the finder the window that comes up from which I can choose my file is too big for the screen. So the bottom corner, which has the "attach" or "Cancel" buttons, is obscured. It's very frustrating... I can hit enter to attach a file but can't cancel it if I change my mind. Hope that makes sense... I've moved the dock out of the way but that doesn't help at all, and I can't use the green button to resize or anything.
Hope someone can help... I've also restarted the computer but the problem is still there. I'm using a macbook pro, and I have upgraded to the latest OSX software.
thanksHi!
I'd click the title bar of the application, then click on the + to fit on screen.
