• How to use the view 'cover flow' in an open file dialog box?

  I often post pictures, such as screenshots, Web - like the one I included here!

  I always use "cover flow" as an aid to make sure that I'm the one that I want to load the download.

  In El Capitan, I see "cover flow" in the Finder, but not in a file open dialog box. How do I access view 'cover flow' in the open file dialog boxes? I have to use a preference somewhere to add it to the toolbar, or what?

  

  In the Finder, go to view, and then customize the toolbar and made drag the point of view of the toolbar window you Finder.

  

• File dialog box cut the default name

  Hi all

  I recently migrated from LV2011 to LV2012 and I have a problem with the dialog file Express vi. It seems, that in LV2012 the Windows dialog box that appears after invoking the file dialog box, adjust the default name to 14 characters (or rather the chain moves to the left so the first x characters are hidden). Please see screenshot attached screen and VI. It's OK in LV2011 (have tested the same code yesterday on another PC with LV2011). Is there a solution or the solution? This is a minor bug, but given that my application is distributed to a customer who pays it mind rather

  Thank you for your reply, Andrew!

  Your VI not exactly help me with my code, but it helped me to find the path . Unfortunately, when I used your VI, the behavior was exactly the same as with the file dialog box. But I noticed that it works only when I select 'create' to the function input terminal (with "create or replace" or something else I've known the cutting chain).

  Then I tried to override the setting of file express VI dialog box of 'New or existing' on 'New' with this setting, the file dialog box works very well (and there seems to be no difference between 'New or existing' and 'New').

  

  This problem is solved, thank you once more!

• dialog box "Choose the program you want to open this file" is displayed when I start (after shutdown or restart) with my windows username listed in the file to open

  As I mentioned, the dialog box appears after every restart.  It occurs after I entered my credentials to logon and proceeded to windows.  It seems to be pretty late in the boot process that things like the chat programs and widgets are fully charged at the time wherever the dialog box is displayed.

  The dialog box appears to be the 'Open with' dialog box in Windows 7 standard.

  Specifically the dialogue reads as follows:

  Choose the program you want to open this file:
   
  File: Mathew [it's my user id and he showed not extension)

  If I open the file into something like Notepad, then the information below is presented (the # s are real numbers, but these looked like mac addresses, so I left)

  Samhrutha,

  I solved the problem.

  I found that when creating a new user, no longer had the open with dialog box.

  I started the process of resolution of a corrupted user profile (which seems little more than creating a new and copy and paste a few old values), when I decided to try one last thing.

  I logged on my account corrupted again and when the 'Open with' dialog that I open the file with Notepad.  I tried to "save under" to locate the file and found that it was located in C:\Users.  Something in recent weeks seems to have put a file without an extension, called "Mathew" (my log in name) in this folder, and it began when I started windows.

  I have since deleted the file and am no longer get the "Open with" dialog

  Thanks for your support!

• Missing icons on the open file dialogue box

  I am running Windows 7 Professional (64 bit).  All updates applied.

  Problem: When you use the dialog box open file - some file/folder icons are missing.  Not that big of a deal, but introduce that dialog open file in an application they may crash.  I think this may be the cause.

  Details: When I use Windows Explorer, everything seems as it should be in the Navigation pane.  For example, I see Favorites and Desktop under Favorites.  The desktop icon is correct.  Everything is as it should be.  If I open Wordpad, and then select file open, the dialog box is, once again, as it should.  All the icons displayed.  However, if I open Word 2007 and select the open file, there is a strange icon for the office and most of the other items under Favorites, some of my libraries display one appropriate icon, others do not.  In the right pane (where the files are listed), there are no icons for files at all, they are simply empty.  I can select the files, then open them, everything works, just no icons.  It is not only the Microsoft Office applications that illustrate this.  If I open the VLC media player, select media, open a file.  I have the same thing (missing icons).

  I could live with that, but it seems to cause some applications (applications specifically Flash) to hang when I try to open the files.  For example, if I try to upload a photo to Snapfish.com using the Flash application, it crashes every time than IE when the open file dialog box opens.  Exactly the same happens using the Chrome browser.  Everything works fine as long as I do not open the open file dialog box.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Hello Jonathan Moeller.

  There are a few additional troubleshooting steps that we could proceed to isolate or fix this problem.  Just to inform you beforehand, if in fact it is malicious viral content on your system or base operating system files are potentially corrupt. I might suggest a repair installation.  This would be the last option or suggestion.

  -Open the prompt (run as administrator) and type SFC/scannow

  -Create an another user account (Admin) and check if in fact you are still having this problem

  -Turn your computer into a cleanboot scenerio to isolate if a 3rd party service is potentially the first cause of this issue.  Here are the steps...

  Step 1: Open the System Configuration utility

  ClickStart

  type msconfig in theSearch box and press ENTER.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.

  Step 2: Configure selective startup options

  1. in theSystem Configuration utility dialog box, click Selective startup on thegeneral tab.

  2 clear theLoad Startup items check box.

  Note The check boxuse the Boot file is not available.

  3. click on theServices tab.

  4. Click to select thehide all Microsoft Services check box.

  5. click ondisable alland then click OK.

  6. When you are prompted, clickrestart.

  -In addition, please try to rebuild the indexing function.  Here are the steps...

  1. go into the Control Panel.

  2 display All the items from Control Panel by changing the parameter display by in the upper right corner of thelarge icons or small iconscategory.

  3. Select Indexing Options.

  4. click on the Advanced button.

  5. when the UAC prompt appears, click continue.

  6. in the Troubleshooting section, click on the button to rebuild

  -In addition, each local user account have their Iconcache.db file or database is located at c:\users\Username\appdata\local\iconcache.db.  Please remove this file.  However, it is preferable that you simply follow the steps below.  Everything must be simple to follow.

  Re-create the file icon-Cache by deleting

  1. Each user has its own file named Iconcache.db: USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Iconcache.db
  2. Close all the explorer.exe process using the Task Manager (or else it will create a bad file during the closing session/restart)... Go to the processes tab and locate explorer.exe and right-click on it and select end process tree tree/end of tasks
  3. Use the Task Manager (CTRL + SHIFT + ESC) to launch the explorer.exe again... Once you open the Task Manager, click file, new task.  type 'explorer.exe '... All of your icons should reappear with the taskbar.  You may need to shut down or restart your computer.  Please check if you are able to see your icons with success.

  If you please follow on this thread at the earliest, I would be very happy.  I look forward to hear from you.  Have a great day.

  Thank you

• Dialog box of the file in the application that is running in window 7 shows all of the UNC path

  HELP PLZ!

  We use the file dialog box to open the folder of the disk file network hard. Window XP showed the path UNC path, but when we run our application (developed in vba) on window 7, full unc path has been established instead of only last name of the folder.
  example of... UNC path \\abcd\abb\abfolder in window XP file dialog shows "abfolder" and then if we see in looking in then hierarchical set of path can be seen
  but the file in window 7 dialog box shows all the way "\\abcd\abb\abfolde" as it is...
  Please suggest if some way where we can display in the file dialog box in the window 7 same folder in UNC path that showed before in XP.
