Wrong extension save

I think I already asked this but I got no feedback so I will do it again:
When I save a file, no matter the format, photoshop (cs5 extended) attaches the wrong extension to the filename and if close the tab with the image, it doesn't seem to remember I saved it alredy so it's asking me again if I want to save it before closing. For example, if I choose to save a image as JPG, I type a name and choose the extension accordingly, click save and choose quality level. In explorer the image is seen as an PSD file and if I open it with IrfanView it recognises that the extension is wrong and asks me if I want to correct it. How can this be solved?

It would have been good to be able to see your image as well, since you are apparently saving an image that must be saved "as a copy" (note the grayed out and checked [ ] As a Copy indication).  This can be because your file has layers, for example.  Since Photoshop wants you to preserve your work in a file format that has all the capabilities to save all the complexities of your file, saving as a copy doesn't satisfy it and it wants you to save your work in a .psd file on exit.  Hence the "file has changed" on exit.
The very first thing you need to do is (assuming you're using XP) go to Windows Explorer, Tools - Folder Options, View tab, and uncheck the [ ] Hide extensions for known file types box.  Then there will be no ambiguity about what file extension is being saved.
Then, when you are saving a JPEG, make sure it has the .jpg extension.

  • Burned CD's won't play - wrong extension

    I've burned three CD's. None will play. At first I realized I was burning data instead of music. When I drag music to my burner, it says it's the wrong extensions. Still no music to play... What am I doing wrong? I've paid for music I can't listen to except on the computer.

  • Contact in CUPC shows wrong extension

    We have CUPS integrated with Active Directory and I have the correct extension on the user in Active Directory and the correct fields mapped (other users are correct), but when I hover over a contact in CUPC or double click the contact and dial them it has the wrong extension. I've looked everywhere I know to look, but something is not getting updated.
    If it makes any difference the users I'm experiencing the problem with have been moved to a different extension or had the wrong extension initially.
    Any ideas?

    So what you are saying is, you use an LDAP profile in CUPC and you have changed the phone details in AD for a particular user. but then when you search for that user in CUPC, it finds that user, but does not reflect the change you have just made?
    what attribute are you changing in AD, and what attribute is used in CUPS to display the phone number?

  • Firefox downloads PDF with wrong extension instead of opening a websites' PDF viewer

    I have a problem with websites that want to provide their own PDF viewer. Instead of launching their viewer, Firefox wants to download the PDF. I'd be perfectly fine with that ***if it downloaded with the correct .pdf extension so that Preview would actually open the PDF***. But that's not what happens; I end up with something like "RetrieveDocument.aspx" or "Retrieve.srv".
    I've tried resetting my download options (http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions). Didn't help.
    I saw some stuff about other plugins I can install. Here's the thing: *this stuff works fine in Chrome and Safari*. Maybe websites aren't tagging their content correctly or something, but this stuff works fine in two other browsers.

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Streaming MP4 files with the wrong extension

    Hi
    I am trying to develop an iphone app that plays videos from a remote embeded server.
    I am new to IOS development and am using Flash Builder to create a mobile flex project. Am getting on quite well with flash builder / flex seems pretty powerfull, however I am stuck on something that i cant seem to get round:
    The files i am trying to stream are MP4 files but not named mp4 instead they have names like
    http://192.168.0.219/WEB/home/XYZ0001.TJC
    I cant change the filenames as they are being generated automatically and cant change the mime mappings of the server. If i copy the files and rename them as XYZ0001.MP4 Then the files load fine (so i know they are valid etc) , with the correct file extension i can use any of a numebr of tactics to play them (such as StageWebView).
    I think i need the native video player to think its being passed a file of XYZ0001.MP4 which is really XYZ0001.TJC Anybody have any ideas of how i can get round this , these are my ideas but as new to flex am struggling to get any of them to work
    ideas are:
    Create a file object and somehow pass this to stagewebview
    create a server side proxy and somehow use this to alter the filename
    Alter the header of the file to change the mimetype
    any other ideas also gratefull recieved.
    I am new to this and its driving me round the bend , is what i am trying to do possible, can anybody point me in the right direction ?
    Many Thanks

  • I renamed my rss feed with the wrong extension!

    I renamed my podcast -
    <itunes:new-feed-url>http://www.f2fmi.org/thelifecrew/rlrpodcast.rss</itunes:new-feed-url>
    I meant to type .xml but for some reason I didn't. Now the change has been made and I have locked myself out of making it right. Is there any hope for this one?

    the extension doesn't really matter. your feed can end with .rss as long as your RSS file ends with that, too. That's how mine is.
    Just change your filename to match your new-feed description. So, instead of trying to "fix" the inadvertantly submitted filename that ends in .rss, go onto the server where your XML file is, and change it's extension to what your submitted.
    Hope this helps.

  • URL opening in wrong extension

    Hi,
    I am using C_DESK_DOC_GET_URL to get the URL for an attached document in DMS.However though the attachment is docx the link provided opens the document in doc. The transaction CV02n opens the attachment in office 2007.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Papiya
    As of now only three characters can be maintained in file suffix. I think *.docx format might be missing in the workstation application.
    That might be the problem i your case.

  • IPhone photo/video library glitch - wrong file extensions, name shift, lost files etc [LONG story - sorry]

    I have a 5s running 7.0.4. and my computer is running Windows 8.1.
    We had a baby and my phone filled up fast with pictures and videos, so I decided to offload them onto my PC. I connected my phone to the usb port, and directly copied from the DCIM folder to my hard drive.
    Something happened during the first attempt, and the process was interrupted. So I went into each of the sub folders, and selected all files, and started the copy process again. I told the computer to skip any existing files.
    So all the file counts matched in each folder, and I figured it was safe to start deleting from my iPhone.
    On my hard drive, I separated all the MOV files into my Videos folder. But in Windows Explorer, the thumbnail view showed several MOV files with no thumbnail - just the generic icon.
    As I sorted my photos into various folders, I also noticed a lot of generic icons instead of thumbnails for the JPGs. I started to feel concerned that my files had become corrupt during the transfer. But then I noticed a PNG file that was a few hundred megabytes. This was odd, so I added the MOV extension to it. Sure enough, it was a video with the wrong extension.
    I renamed every PNG and JPG file that had no thumbnail to add the MOV extension. Every one was a video with the wrong file extension.
    Then I went to the video folder, and all the MOV files that had the generic icon were actually JPG files.
    Well I was just happy to see that the files were not corrupt.
    One more time before I deleted things from my iPhone, I did a spot check to see that the largest videos were on my hard drive. I found a few videos that were not copied over, despite the file counts having been accurate. So I copied the videos again, and compared file sizes and date/times when there was an overwrite prompt. Most were matches, but several were the same file name with different sizes and dates.
    I didn't know what was going on, but I just wanted to get the files on my computer. So I renamed my local copy where there was a name collision, and copied the videos. I deleted the videos from my phone as I went along.
    I felt pretty confident that I had all the files copied now, so I began mass deleting my photos.
    I went to the Photos app on the phone, and watched the thousands of pictures disappear, and the glorious free space grow on my phone.
    But wait... there was still 1 video in the Photos app. I thought I had gotten all the MOV files off the phone...
    I have a photo info app installed, so I was able to see the file name of the video. I searched for that file name in the DCIM subfolders, but the folder that had that series of files (the IMG_3000-3999 files) listed the files with that particular video skipped. It was clearly still on my phone, because I could play it.
    Then I noticed it was a 45 minute long video of my baby. About 5 GB. So I figured it must be due to the file size that it wasn't visible from explorer. (Can't explain why that would be, but M$ keeps changing crap too. I never freaking know what to expect from them either.)
    After having deleted all the jpg, png and mov files from the DCIM folder, there were still about 26 files in my camera roll on the iPhone. And I could still view the video.
    I decided I wasn't concerned about the photos, I just wanted to figure out how to get the video onto my computer.
    So I selected all the photos in the photo app (skipping the 1 remaining video) and tapped the trash can.
    Poof! One item remained, and it was one of the garbage photos. My video is GONE! ^#@*&#($^@Q&%( And no, I didn't fat-finger it. I was very careful to select the correct thumbnails.
    Looking back, I know that I should have just started the entire file copy process from scratch when funny stuff started happening like mismatched file names. But I am a sleep-deprived new mom and just wasn't thinking clearly. It would be nice if I could have used my file/directory compare program to check the iPhone against my laptop, but it is not compatible with devices, only removable drives.
    And no, I don't use iTunes. I stopped using iTunes years ago when it would randomly decide to delete contacts from my phone just because they didn't exist on my computer or some sh-- like that. I have always just manually synced all my stuff and have never had an issue like this. To say I am sad to lose that video is an understatement.
    I googled "iPhone undelete" and "iPhone data recovery" and downloaded a trial for one of the likely candidates. It turned up a bunch of garbage, but not my video.
    Anyways... I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this type of scenario? Has anybody identified what could cause this to happen? I would like to avoid this in the future. (I will avoid this type of loss, because I know now what I could have done differently to be more careful. But it would be nice if I didn't have to get all neurotic about checking 60GB of photos/videos side by side each time I copy them to my computer...)
    I have seen other threads on the forum here regarding corrupted libraries and such, but I am not sure this is the same thing.
    One suspicion I have is that it might have to do with the iPhoto app being installed on the phone. I can't articulate why I think that is worth considering. But when I looked at my Video folder, I ended up with many duplicate videos, and all the duplicated videos' file names were 2 numbers apart. As if all the file names got shifted at some point. Very strange.
    Thanks for listening to my rant. If anybody has an idea, I am interested. If anybody else has lost precious memories due to this, we should talk. If it is a widespread problem, maybe we can all get together and pound down Apple's door?
    As an aside: Why am I unable to select Apple Support Community to post this question to?

    In my case number of weird things happen whenever I try to copy pictures/videos from my iPhone from direct USB...
    1. JPG files are wrongly named as MOV and vice versa.
    2. I copy only folders but in addition files with no extension are copied in the main folder, very strange.
    3. Whenever I open one of the folders, strange icons like this () start appearing which cannot be copied even.
    Unfortunately I used to delete a lot of files with wrong extensions in the past because I never new they could be fixed.
    Apple should answer this!
    Note: I am using Windows 8.1 and use a direct USB cable without iTunes to copy the media files directly from My Computer.

  • Extension Manager, wrong Language?

    Hello,
    I bought the english version of Dreamweaver CS4 yesterday in the german Adobe Shop.
    After Installation =
    DW is english
    Bridge is english
    Device central is english
    Extend Script toolkit is german
    Extension Manager is german
    Then I tried to install the AIR extension: Adobe_Air_CS4.mxp
    I downloaded it from the US Site, so it should be the english version.
    When I try to install the extension I get he message:
    "path: ...\locale\en_US\ApplicationUpdaterDialogs.prop is used by Dreamweaver. Pls close DW and try again"
    but that doesn't help.
    I checked the mentioned path and found the file is not present.
    But the file is in the path: \de\  for the german version.
    Could it be the wrong Extension Manager?
    I tried to install the english version, but that is not possible.
    How do I install the AIR Extension?

    Hi,
    If I start the Extension Manager direktly from DW it shows up in english.
    But I still get this warning (see jpg)

  • Firefox downloads a file with the wrong file extension. How can I fix this?

    The title says it all. When I download files, it comes out with the wrong extension, not sure what extension it comes out as.
    It actually just comes out as "file."
    How can I fix this? Is there something in about:config I can tweak to eliminate this error?

    Hi dartz!
    This type of problems are not related with the browser you are using, in this case, Firefox. This issues are the consequence of the way that the website "packed" the file.
    What you should do is download the file, locate the file, give right click on the file and select "Rename". Now, don't change the name!!! Just add "." and then the extension that you wanted. Example, you download the file "norwegianwood", after renaming it, it should read "norwegianwood.srt".
    Hope this works for you, take care!

    Very well. Try this with your Mac:
    Open "new.psd" in Preview
    File > Save
    new.psd becomes new.png  If the extension was correct, Preview would not have changed it.
    it now opens in Photoshop  You can download it here.  ("Save image As...)
    Simply put, you had the wrong extension.

  • FAQ: Creating PDF Files from FrameMaker v.6 & earlier Documents -- Why you should not use "save as PDF"! -- Windows & MacOS Only!

    An issue that has come up over and over again on several FrameMaker and Acrobat/PDF email lists as well on the corresponding Adobe User-to-User forums is that of creation of PDF files. FrameMaker 5.5.6 and 6 have what looks like a convenient feature that is supposed to allow you to create PDF files via simply saving the document as a PDF file. I have gone on record as advising end-users not to use this approach for reliable creation of PDF files from FrameMaker documents under Windows and MacOS with FrameMaker 6 and earlier. Why do I most vociferously offer this advice and why doesn't the problem get fixed? And how SHOULD you create PDF files from FrameMaker?
    GOOD NEWS
    I will start with the good news. The "next major version" of FrameMaker will indeed have "save as PDF" re-implemented in a manner that it will be as reliable as printing to the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows or the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer under MacOS. I am personally working with the FrameMaker development organization to make sure this really happens and is fully and properly tested and debugged! Furthermore, this next major revision of FrameMaker, unlike FrameMaker 6, will come with a Distiller installer that will properly install the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows and the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer on the Macintosh (of course assuring that the latest PostScript driver is also automatically and correctly installed).
    DON'T USE "SAVE AS PDF"
    But what's wrong with "save as PDF" as currently implemented?
    The following are some of the SYMPTOMS reported over the last few years by FrameMaker users that were traced back to use of "save as PDF" under FrameMaker:
    (1) No PDF file is produced at all, possibly with a log file showing not-readily apparent PostScript errors during distillation.
    (2) The PDF file "loses" color in images. All or some images (raster, bitmap images, NOT vector artwork) appear in the PDF file in grayscale.
    (3) The resultant PDF file is on the wrong paper size, i.e., the document's logical page size does not match the output page size as seen in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
    (4) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file is blotchy looking or overly bold.
    (5) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file cannot be searched or indexed.
    (6) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file appears in Courier or in some other substitution font.
    (7) Interword or intercharacter spacing is a bit irregular in the resultant PDF file.
    (8) Content is missing in the margin areas of the page, i.e. you cannot do full-page bleeds.
    (9) Some or all page content is missing (other than margin areas).
    (10) Relatively inefficient PDF is generated.
    If this list by itself isn't enough for you, please note that some of these symptoms are very subtle and may escape attention when the PDF is first viewed or printed. Oftimes, it is when one attempts to manipulate the PDF file in Acrobat or repurpose its content or even view or print on a system other than the one on which the PDF file was created, that some of these symptoms make themselves obnoxiously visible (or invisible in some cases I won't make any bad jokes here about graphic examples!).
    It is important to understand that FrameMaker does NOT have its own native ability to create PDF. Any and all PDF created from FrameMaker documents is actually done by creating PostScript via the PostScript driver and having the Acrobat Distiller create PDF from that PostScript. The only exception to this is creation of PDF via the Acrobat PDFWriter driver, which is likewise not recommended (see below).
    In order for "save as PDF" to work correctly, FrameMaker must do the equivalent of calling Printer Setup and selecting the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows or the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer under MacOS followed by setting the driver's options correctly for paper size, page range, etc., followed by sending the proper commands to the driver to create PostScript.
    Contrary to popular belief, PostScript as generated by the Windows and MacOS PostScript drivers is VERY device-dependent. The information in the PPD file associated with a printer driver instance provides critical parameters for generation of PostScript including:
    Whether the printer supports color (Acrobat Distiller does)
    What PostScript language level is supported (Acrobat Distiller 4.x and Acrobat Distiller 5.x are both PostScript language level 3)
    Whether native TrueType support is available (Acrobat supports native TrueType as Type 42 fonts)
    Available binary communications (Acrobat Distiller supports pure binary and ASCII, but NOT TCP, TBCP, or PJL)
    Resident fonts (Acrobat Distiller doesn't really have resident fonts)
    Available paper sizes and custom paper size availability (Acrobat Distiller supports a wide range of predefined sizes and continually variable "custom" sizes up to 200" by 200")
    Margins / printable areas (for PDF and the Acrobat Distiller, there are no margins in which imaging is not permitted)
    Device resolution (Acrobat Distiller can be set to any value from 72 to 4000 dpi; as a convenience, the Acrobat Distiller PPD provides a series of values for use by the driver. Since there is no inherent "resolution" of a PDF file, this parameter is used only for purposes of allowing PostScript programs that query for such a value to be satisfied and for the driver to be able to communicate this value to the operating system and/or application as required.)
    Paper handling (totally irrelevant to Acrobat Distiller if input or output tray selection via "setpagedevice" is found in the PostScript stream, it is ignored by Acrobat Distiller)
    Thus, if the wrong printer driver instance is selected (i.e., it isn't associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD file) or that driver instance is improperly configured, improper PostScript will result and one or more of the symptoms described above can occur. As currently implemented, FrameMaker depending upon version will not necessarily choose the correct printer driver instance and/or correctly parameterize the print job via driver setup options. In fact, FrameMaker 5,5,6 might even try to generate PDF via calling a PCL driver, FAX driver, or even a non-PostScript inkjet printer!
    DON'T USE PDFWRITER
    The Acrobat PDFWriter is a relic of older versions of Acrobat. In fact, it is no longer installed by default in the "easy install" or the "typical install" of Acrobat 5. It hasn't really be updated since Acrobat 3 and only supports PDF 1.2. It is a GDI (Windows) / QuickDraw (MacOS) driver that directly generates PDF without any intermediary PostScript. Since it is not a PostScript printer driver, applications cannot pass through EPS graphics and/or PDFMark information (used for a wide variety of purposes by FrameMaker). For EPS graphics, most applications will send the low resolution TIFF (or PICT) EPS header in lieu of the PostScript text, if they send anything at all, to the driver. Forget about links, structure, or any other PDF "goodies." Expect that PDFWriter will fully "bite the dust" in the next major version of Acrobat.
    SO HOW DO I GENERATE PDF FILES FROM FRAMEMAKER 6 & EARLIER?
    The ONLY method that is really reliable for producing PDF files with FrameMaker 6 and earlier requires the generation of PostScript via a properly set printer driver instance associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD and distillation of the resultant PostScript by Acrobat Distiller.
    Case 1: FrameMaker and the Full Acrobat 4.05 or Acrobat 5.0x Products
    PDF file from a "chapter" -- print directly to the Acrobat Distiller printer instance (Windows) or the Create Adobe PDF desktop printer (MacOS) already installed by Acrobat. If you check the "Acrobat data" option, then make sure to UNcheck the "print to file" option that gets set at the same time. As a result, the driver will automatically send the generated PostScript to the Distiller for you and delete the intermediate PostScript when done.
    PDF file from a "book" -- print directly to the Acrobat Distiller printer instance with the "print to file" option checked (Windows) or the Virtual Printer desktop printer (MacOS) associated with the Distiller PPD (see details below under Case 2/MacOS). You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
    In both the above sub-cases, the default driver options generally will be OK, but check on paper size and communication protocol (Use pure binary, not ASCII, for optimal performance AND no CTRL-D characters under Windows. Make sure to set Level 3 only and Binary under MacOS. Font inclusion "All" for Acrobat 4.05 and "None" for Acrobat 5 under MacOS.). With Acrobat 4.05, make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. With Acrobat 5, you can set this on a job-by-job basis via the driver printer setup interface (or print dialog on MacOS).
    Case 2: FrameMaker 6 and the Bundled Acrobat 4.05 Distiller
    Windows -- Create a new printer driver instance using the latest version of the Adobe Universal PostScript Driver Installer, downloadable from Adobe's web site AND the Acrobat Distiller PPD file (located in the XTRAS subdirectory of the Distiller directory). This driver instance should be set to print to the local port named "FILE:". Name this driver instance as "Acrobat Distiller". The default driver options generally will be OK, but check on paper size and communication protocol (use pure binary, not ASCII, for optimal performance AND no CTRL-D characters). Make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. Print directly to this Acrobat Distiller printer instance. Make sure that the "print to file" option is checked. You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
    MacOS -- Install the latest version of AdobePS 8.7.x, downloadable from Adobe's web site. In FrameMaker, go to Page Setup and select the "Virtual Printer" and go to the "Virtual Printer" window pane. Select the Acrobat Distiller PPD file (located in the XTRAS subfolder of the Distiller folder). Print directly to the "Virtual Printer" (Make sure to set Level 3 only, Binary, and font inclusion "All".). Make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
    Case 3: Acrobat 3
    Acrobat 3 is not officially supported for the latest OS versions and I personally would no longer recommend its use for generation of PDF files given that Acrobat 5.0.5 is the current version of Acrobat.

    You're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

  • Why does FF4 start to download an image once more which is already on screen when trying to save this image?

    I look at a picture from a photo-site - size 11 MB. I decide to save this picture > right click > save image as.. The download window opens and FF downloads the picture once more which is already somewhere in FF's cache or memory.. I can see that data comes from the internet and not from a local place on my computer and the process can be rather slow, when the remote server is slow.. I find this as a waste of bandwidth.. Is it possible to avoid this behaviour?

    You can look at this extension:

  • Acrobat Reader Versions and saveAs, exportXFAdata Problems

    We use generate Forms with Reader Extension Save enabled.
    The forms are then opened within Acrobat Reader. In the onClose Event a Script called "saveXMLData" is called. This script is install in the javascript folder of the reader installation.
    The script :
    var saveXMLData = app.trustedFunction(function(doc)
         app.beginPriv();
         doc.saveAs({cPath:"/c/windows/temp/savedForm.pdf",
              bCopy: true,
              bPromptToOverwrite: false });
         doc.exportXFAData({
              cPath:"/c/windows/temp/savedForm.xml",
              bXDP:false
         app.endPriv();
         return;
    Using Acrobat Reader 7, eveything worked fine.
    Using Acrobat Reader 9 "saveAs" crashes the Application after the document is saved and the filled in Data is not saved.
    Without the saveAs function, at least the export File is generate but the data that where filled in are missing.
    Using Acrobat Reader X "saveAs" crashes the Application as well. Leavin out the saveAs function, the export File is generated as expected. Thus the filled in data values are saved.
    Using Acrobat X Pro everything works as with Acrobat Reader 7.
    Our Problem is that the customer uses Acrobat Reader 9. Are there expected incompatibilities with the different versions. Does anybody know any workarounds, settings?
    By the way disabling extended security does not help.
    Thanks

    It cannot be a problem of the installation, because at least Windows 7
    was a fresh install with nothing but Reader additionally installed.
    By the way, what do you mean by "risky", I followed straight the
    documentation from Adobe, where one is allowed to place function calls
    requiring a privileged context.
    Have you any better idea where to place the call to save? It must be
    called automatically, when the User closes the window, no additional
    interaction is possible.
    One other thing is the call to exportXFAData, have you any idea why
    there is a difference in behavior between reader version 7 / 10 and 9?
    I wrote that in version 9 the user entered data is missing.

    No, it doesn't work.
    Sorry, I don't have any ideas except for trying to repair the installation
    of Reader.
    However, placing code in the WillClose event is considered risky and should
    be avoided if there are alternatives available.
