• Failed to open the file in the ERP application published on a user's system.

  Hi all

  I published an ERP application with vWorkspace .we 8.0 are able to successfully connect to ERP via the web url but the problem is that once we export any file in EXCEL (Option of ERP) then it does not open using the end-user Office great program.

  Can anyone suggest on the same.

  Thank you

  The really easy way is when you export the Excel document, export it to a fileshare that is accessible from the local computer.

  You can then simply open this file from file sharing and associations of local file will open it in the local excel for you.

  When I click on a file .nrl extension (belongs to the autonomy I - manage your software) it returns a string of code (which is in the shortened link) instead of following the link and the return document.

• Change your default application to open files HTML on Mac (was: transfer)

  Hi all

  I have a question about the transfer. I recently moved from a Windows to an iMac. I was able to transfer all my files on successfully but I'm not able to import my site in Adobe muse on my iMac. All applications run very well, but when I go to open the files they are default Dreamweaver and when I try to open them with muse they are greyed out. I'm fairly new but basically, I want to use the muse for the site that I have already created. Thanks to you all

  Esmeralda

  You cannot open HTML with Muse, on a PC or a Mac files.

  You definitely need the .muse file.

• How to set the PS CC as default application for RAW Mac files.

  What is happening on my Nikon and my Fuji SLR. All of a sudden it will not open in Photoshop CC. It is opening in Photoshop Elements, which is also in my Mac. I want to change it back so that when I click on a RAW file, it opens automatically in PS CC instead of elements. I can click on OPEN WITH and click on CC PS to open it, but I don't want to have to do this extra step.

  Hi JoeRouton,

  Please visit the following link to set the default application like Photoshop for RAW files.

• programmatically launch a file with the default windows application

  I thought it would be a trivial task, but I can't seem to be able to find something about it.  I would like to be able to open any file in the native application - as if the user has double-clicked on it.  Any suggestions?

  Joined a VI I use that does what you want.  If the given path is a folder, then it opens a file Explorer window in this folder.  If the path is a file, then it opens the file, as if the user double clicked on it.  She uses the mentioned command-line function previously.

• Open the files on Mac (Fusion 5)?

  I use parallel Desktop for 2 years, but decided to try VMWare Fusion after running into a few problems of stability with the Mountain Lion. So far, he has been pretty good, but I wonder if the merger does not have some features of Parallels.

  On Parallels, I could open a Word document or an Excel worksheet with Office on my VM or in Office 2011 on my Mac in 'right click' and selecting 'Open with' a program for Mac that is on the list. 5 merger there similar functionality? I still have the Mac programs see the upward in the context menu, but if I select the option nothing happens. I selected the checkbox "Open your Windows and web links using Mac applications files" tab by default Applications.

  Take a look at: Sharing Applications between your Mac and your virtual Windows Machines

  Note: even if the link above is the topic in the VMware Fusion 5.0 Documentation Center Online however it is also available from the application VMware Fusion itself via the Help menu!

• Open the file using InvokeQuery

  I have successfully implemented action on the PART, using the following code:

  InvokeActionItem* shareItem(InvokeActionItem::create(
      InvokeQuery::create()
          .parent(page)
          .invokeActionId("bb.action.SHARE")
          .mimeType(mimeType)
          .uri(fileURI)));
  page->addAction(shareItem, ActionBarPlacement::OnBar);
  

  It works beautifully. For each file my application download and store in the file system, a menu of ACTION item appears, that I can use for example to send the file to someone else.

  Now, I tried to implement the same for action OPEN to open a file in a different application. This does not at all. Here is my code:

  InvokeActionItem* openInItem(InvokeActionItem::create(
      InvokeQuery::create()
      .parent(page)
      .invokeActionId("bb.action.OPEN")
          .mimeType(mimeType)
          .uri(fileURI)));
  page->addAction(openInItem, ActionBarPlacement::OnBar);
  

  But I only get this in the log:

  Warning: 15:09:54.649 InvocationWrapper::onQueryFinished: no matching result from Menu Service for query
     mimeType="application/pdf"
     uri=QUrl("file:///accounts/ ... /myFile.PDF")
     data= ""
     metadata= QMap()
     perimeter= 0
     action= "bb.action.OPEN"
     target= ""
     invokerIncluded= false
  

  I also tried to use the 'data' instead of 'uri' and passing in a QByteArray that contains the bytes of the file. This does not work either.

  Curiously, if I leave aside the 'data' and 'uri', it works. A menu open item is displayed, which lists the applications that can open the specified MIME type. But of course this menu opens only the apps, it does not pass the uri of a file or data file.

  Is this a limitation of devices Dev Alpha? Or y at - it another way to open files that are stored locally in other applications?

  They are in the data area. But it wasn't the problem. I now have the confirmation that everything works as expected on a real device of the Z10. So the problem seems to be a limitation of the Alpha Dev OS.

• From today, Firefox will not open the files Adobe Acrobat to Adobe Reader, despite my player put as a default value in the Applications tab.

  Until today, I had no trouble opening the files Adobe Acrobat with Adobe Reader 9.5. (I need to use an older version of Adobe Reader, because I use a program called Macro Express, which does not recognize later versions.) As of this morning, when I click on a file Acrobat, I wonder what program I want to open it with. Even when I click on 'do this automatically... ". ', it is not doing. He asks me every time. I went to tools, Applications and changed all the questions to open with Adobe Reader related 9.5 pdf. This also does not work.

  access firefox options > applications and set the default action for the portable document (pdf) format.
