Windows % QT 7.7.6: How to associate file types

How do I make certain file types always open with Quicktime?
I tried to do it through windows, but I cannot find the Quicktime executable because the QT shortcuts don't list the filepath.
I tried to do it through Quicktime control panel and/or preferences, but I am missing a "File Types" tab seen on online tutorials.
I tried to search for it in Quicktime help, but QT doesn't have help search.

Where is "save as" or how to change file type in Preview in Lion?

Where is "save as" or how to change file type in Preview in Lion? I used to use Preview to change quickly change a lot of PNGs to either JPEGs or PDFs but with the introduction of versions auto save etc there no "save as" in the File menu. Any suggestions how to get this functionality back or how to get around it within OS X (no Photoshop etc)?

Just wasted 15 minutes looking for that. What's wrong with Save As?

After installing Acrobat/Reader on Windows 7 or Vista, icons of all applications/file-types change t

After installing Acrobat/Reader on Windows 7 or Vista, icons of all applications/file-types change to Acrobat/Reader icon and double clicking on any icon/file launches Acrobat/Reader (instead of the native application associated to the file type). Is there an easy fix for this problem?

I'm sorry, but I wasn't aware of a native PDF viewer for Windows.
Nonetheless, if you want to change your default PDF application in Windows, you need to right click on any .PDF file, select "Properties",
then "Change",
then select the program you want to open a PDF with.

Associate file type with application BUG.

Associate file type with other application causes FileVault to prompt that said app 'can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developper'
This happens when I try to associate TIFF's with Adobe Photoshop, or PDF's with Acrobat Pro.
It does this through "get info > open with:" and when you let the app itself change the association (IE Acrobat Pro prompted me if i always want to open pdf's with it, after that, when i double click the file fileVault gives me the same message.
It's just plain annoying to have do drag each file onto the right icon in the dock.

It looks like both approaches are similar and will both work.
Persistent Handlers are probably overkill. They will do what you need and more, but are a more complicated. I would recommend sticking with the two approaches discussed if you simply want to run your application with a default program.
Although some CVI users may have done this in the past, you may have more luck posting on the MSDN forums or a 3rd party programming forum.

How can I associate file types with Dreamweaver so they open automatically?

I've just installed Dreamweaver CS4 under Windows XP
Professional but I've an issue with which files types are
associated with Dreamweaver.
When I first ran DW CS4 the application invited me to select
which type of files to associate with Dreamweaver: .css, .js,
.xslt, php, etc. I deselected a few as I was using another editor
for those at the time. However, I would now like to associate PHP
files with Dreamweaver CS4, so that when I double-click a PHP file
in Windows Explorer it opens in Dreamweaver CS4.
How can I do this?
Is there a way to run the initial dialog box again that
invited me to select which files to associate with Dreamweaver?
Thanks in advance
Gareth

However, I would

Browse to any PHP file with Windows Explorer, right click
then select Open
With..., Choose Program and select DW CS4 (and tick the
"Always..." box to
make this the default file association)

Just installed CS6 but can't associate file type JPG with Photoshop.

I've just now installed Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4. File types PSD and TIFF work fine, but I'm completely unable to associate JPG, JPEG or any other variant with the Photoshop program such that I can double-click on the photo file and open Photoshop and the photo. I can associate JPG with either Bridge or Lightroom, or several other programs, but when I browse to Photoshop and select Photoshop.exe nothing happens, not even an error message. Does anyone have a clue what's going on here?
Operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate Edition, 32-bit. There is 4GB of memory in the machine, which is a Dell Vostro 1720 laptop.
Thanks,
Bill Sexauer

I know there is a problem with the file associations and that I need to fix them. What I don't know is how to do it. I successfully fixed the associations for file types PSD and TIFF, but I'm completely unable to do the same for type JPG. I did use Open With and that's where it just refused to allow me to change to Photoshop. It would allow me to change from the default Windows Photo Viewer to Bridge or to Lightroom, but not to Photoshop.
The problem was probably caused by my having installed CS6 prior to uninstalling CS4. Should I just reinstall CS6 right over the top of the existing CS6?

How to change file type associations in SAP ERP 6.0?

Hello,
I'd like to figure out how to change the application associated with a given file type in SAP. I want to open a .DOC file, but I am using OpenOffice instead of MS Word. I have .DOC file type already associated with OpenOffice in Windows XP, but SAP doesn't seem to recognize that association. I am using SAP ERP 6.0. Any ideas?
Mike

Hi,
MS Word is mandatory. You will not be able to work using Open Office in SAP.

How to repair File Type Associations

Hi, I have a problem with being unable to mount *.bin files by double clicking them.
They seem to be associated with VLC at the moment, and I would like to know how to return it so that these *.bin files are automatically mounted/opened when downloaded.
Which application should I choose to associate *.bin files with so I can do this?
Is there a different way of taking care of this problem?
Additionally, I have removed VLC from my computer for this reason, and is there any other thing I should have done besides deleting the VLC folder I had made to contain that application? (e.g. an uninstall)
I'm a new Mac user so I need a little help

Hi, lunarist.
I tested your link using two browsers: OmniWeb and Safari.
1. With OmniWeb, it downloaded the .bin, invoked my copy of StuffIt Deluxe, scanned it with Norton AntiVirus, decompressed the .bin and mounted the disk image included therein. My StuffIt preferences are set to scan files with NAV before decompressing them. OmniWeb "knows" to use StuffIt Deluxe to expand the .bin because of the file's MIME type and, as a result of having StuffIt Deluxe installed on my Mac, Launch Services has associated StuffIt Deluxe with files of this type.
Launch Services is the underlying mechanism in Mac OS X that associates documents with applications and vice-versa.
2. With Safari, the bin was downloaded and decompressed. I was warned the disk image contained a program, and when I accepted that it should be mounted, it was.
What you're seeing here is that Safari contains the code necessary to decompress the .bin and will do so if "Open Safe Files" is specified in Safari > Preferences > General. That Safari can perform this is common with many Mac-based Internet applications, e.g. browsers, FTP clients, even some mail clients. See section [2.4] of the comp.sys.mac.com FAQ where it states:"almost all modern Macintosh telecommunications and Internet programs have the capability of converting and unconverting MacBinary files for you."However, as previously noted in other posts, you don't have an application installed that will permit you to decompress these files by simply double-clicking them. For that, you need something like StuffIt Expander, a free version of which can be found here. Tiger, unlike prior versions of Mac OS X, does not include Stuffit Expander: see "Mac OS X 10.4: Where is StuffIt Expander?"
So, as others have advised, install the free version of StuffIt Expander in order to decompress .bin files by double-clicking them.
They're presently associated with VLC as VLC must claim .bin as a file extension or the MIME type "application/x-macbinary" as one it can open, hence Launch Services has decided that, based on the apps you have installed, that VLC is the only app that claims this file type.
Good luck!

How to display file type - suffix

I am trying out the trial version of aperture. Immediately found one problem and can't find a solution easily.
When images are imported Aperture shows the file name only and not the suffix - i.e. DSC0001 and not DSC0001.NEF or IMG001.CR2.
How do I change this so that I can see what type of file I am dealing with?
Thanks

View > Metadata Display > Customize, then Aperture > File Name
This will allow you to see the name of the Master that is being managed or referenced. Remember, what you see is called a "Version" because it's just a representation of the output after adjustments are applied to the Master. That's why you only see a Version name, which may or may not be the same as the Master.
Also, if you have the Metadata view open in the Inspector (Library/Metadata/Adjustments), you'll see the file type in the camera window along with all the shooting settings. That might be easier than dealing with metadata fields.
hope this helps.

How to change file type from .zip to .dock

I would like to know how to change the saved file type (.zip) to other file types such as (.txt), (.doc), (.dock) or (.pdf).

It's more complicated than just changing the name of the file to have a different extension. What you have to do is to convert a file from one format to another. To do that you have to use an application that knows how to open the original type and how to write the format of the new type. The application to use for a given combination depends on the combination. For example, the Preview applications knows how to read a JPG file and write the contents to a PDF file.
A ".zip" file is a somewhat different case. A ".zip" file is an "archive" that (generally) contains other files compressed within it. If you double-click on a ZIP file, it should expand into the enclosed files.
If you give specific examples of what you want to convert, people should be able to explain what to do.
By the way, I'm not familiar with a file of type ".dock". What is that?

Png type not recognized in widget - how to edit file type?

Dear all,
I almost got crazy these last hours as a nice widget I am working on suddenly refused to work.
I now understand the source of the problem: the file type of the PNG background image is not "Portable Network Graphics Image" but "Adobe Photoshop PNG".
This causes the widget to refuse to load, apparently.
I can not find a way to edit this (even FileInfo does not propose PNG?)... or to make photoshop produce a generic PNG.
Has anybody encountered this problem and/or has an idea on how to solve it?
I can not imagine that there is no way in mac os x to edit the inner properties of the file..
THANKS for any hint,
Olivier.

Hi
I think there's a similar issue in Fireworks, where the native file format appears to be an extended form of PNG. In Fireworks, there's a file export command, which enables you to create a separate copy of the file in PNG (or any other) format whilst retaining the extended PNG for the master version of the file. I'm not a Photoshop user but I would look to see if there's an "export" command, and I would use it to create a separate PNG version of the file, in the hope that this does not have any of the extensions.

How to get file type within SPFile

Hi,
I have a document library and I would like to get the type of document so it can be displayed for the user
Currently I have this code
foreach (SPListItemVersion version in item.Versions)
if (version.Level == SPFileLevel.Published)
string fileicon = version.ListItem.File.IconUrl;
string filetype = version.ListItem.File.Item.ContentType.Name;
string filesize = (version.ListItem.File.Length / 1024).ToString();
string filetitle = version.ListItem.File.Item.Title;
string filepath = version.ListItem.File.ServerRelativeUrl;
Within the code I get the "ListItem.File.Item.ContentType.Name" and this always returns "Document" even if its a Word Document, Spreadsheet, jpg or PDF.
I really want to display, Document, spreadsheet, pdf, etc etc
How do I get this property??
Thanks
Marc

You can use the ListItem.File.Name property to get the full file name including the extension, you could then parse this to get just the extension and determine the file type based on that.
Note that when parsing the file name, if you try to do it by splitting the filename using the period symbol "." as the seperator you will need to allow for file names which contain multiple period symbols. You may be able to use the System.IO.FileInfo class to help, it has an instance property 'Extension' which should take care of that for you, though getting an SPFile into a FileInfo object may be more hassle than just writing your own quick parser, I haven't tried it.
