Save file dialog box can't name.
Hello!
I've updated 5 macs in my household to Mac OS Sierra. Mac Mini, two retina Macbook and iMac 5K. None of them are able to pick up existing file name when you try to save a file. I used to be able to click on a file on my disk and it entered the name of the file in the Save dialog box, but the entry in the right field remains empty and I have to write the name of the file manually. Really frustrating when just in collaboration with revisions and you want to change the last number in the file name.
Anyone else experienced this and maybe have a fix?
Thanks in advance.
Tom
Your message has caused me to try this using two different applications (Apple Pages) and overview of the MacOS. In both cases, when I open an existing file, his name came up in the center of the window. Also, when I did a "Save" or "Save...". "this file name was introduced as the default name. in other words, a backup would just replace the existing file.
The behavior you describe is clearly based on what application you are using. You did not specify which application could be.

When I get an attachment to an email (using Zimbra Imail, Firefox, Windows XP Pro) and I click on it and select 'Download', I get the dialog box "enter the name of the file to save on...» "(because I already have the option"always ask me where to save files. "But the view of default file always in a 'list '. At least recently. I don't remember it always does this. In any case, I want the value default to a 'Détails' view, in ascending order, I can find then things so much faster that way. (I often use the 'Update' tab to bring up, the latest version of a file.) I know that I can go to the Menu 'view' icon and select 'Détails', but whenever I go in a sub-folder in this dialog box, I have to do this all over again and it wastes a lot of time and attention.
I did some research on the internet but have not found a way to solve this problem.
Try this:
a. open my documents, press the alt key.
b. click on Tools. Click on folder options.
c. click on the view tab and select Reset and check records.

How can I call Save as dialog box before you download pdf files?
How can I call Save as dialog box before you download pdf files?
Here's my favorite scenario:
1. the user clicks on the button
2 Save as dialog box displays
3. the user chooses the place
4. a set of PDF files download here OR download a single zip file
Background:
I want to ensure that the user sees that the files are downloaded. I'm content to users who are not Web warned.
Concern:
1. the user has no idea how to find the downloaded files or files have even downloaded.
2. I would like to deliver all in the form of zip files. Not sure if the automatic opening of zip files still exist.
FOR INFO:
I use jQuery UI buttons. Not sure if that factors in the response.
Just for clarity, I'm not forcing a download. The user will click on a button.
Click on a button or click on a link, either way you are technically running a script to force a download.
I guess that's the PHP on the server.
Yes but it is only a part of it. Once the form runs, another script is called that opens the browser download dialog.
Y at - it a php script to call the open/save dialog box?
Yes.
Name this file zip2download.php.
Add a link to your HTML page:
zip2download.php">Download the Zip

Showing the full path of the file in the Save as dialog box
I'm a relatively new for MAC OS and I took the habit of intelligent services on Microsoft file manipulation, in particular to the Save as dialog box. Who has a little smart "arrows" and "buttons" allowing you to ask around the system of files easily, but I faced something else in the MAC operating system.
Finally, I was able to pass on the path of file bar in the Finder (basically, that nice, small bar with the name of folders/sub-sub-sub-folders you can switch to and it shows "where you are both in the file system"), but I don't miss the Save as dialog box. I tried to find it in the settings to turn it on, scoured the internet, talked with experts at Apple, also called the central phone number, but I couldn't learn all solutions to get the bar path of file under tension to the Save as dialog box.
And believe me, it's very annoying, when you create a file structure when you register under ' week/Tuesday/XY client Documents/work/approvals/journal/2016/August/2nd /' a file and for the recording of the version changed the same file under the same path, but not to not only return to the file a subfolder creation there AB of the customer, I have to click again through the whole lot.
The arrows 'story' don't help because when I click on the it puts me directly to record under the folder where I have the last recorded the previous file, or help click on the drop-down above, where records are listed because I could never find the subfolder where I want to go back to there.
Are there solutions to get the path of file under tension to the Save dialog box under?
Or is there a plan to get it in the new version of the operating system?
It is the same on the open file dialog box...
..., and I don't want to keep a Finder opens just to copy..., on the way to the record, which was the same effort and has been even more professional!
I would like to just turn this simple file path bar,..., even that which is available in the Finder!
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks for sharing your thoughts in advance, Ian

1 NO.

How to get the name of the file in the file dialog box
Hi all
I use the file dialog box to open a file and read the contents of it. However, I want to show the name of the opened file and do not know how to do it.
Someone has an idea to display the name of the opened file?
Thank you.
Hi powerplay.
the file dialog box has an output "selected path. You can use the path of the strip function to get only the file name.

I can't find 'save to desktop' in the Save as dialog box to an Excel on Win7
In fact I do not see how to save any kind of file on my desktop with Win 7 and MS Office 2007 Pro.

There is that no more save it as only includes orders for the economy in several formats, but the dialog box that opens shows not the desktop as the destination to save in. The only affected destinations are; models, Favorites, libraies, residential, computer group, WIN7C and network. I explored all the and can not find any "desktop."
Desktop is not listed under Favorites on the left side of the Save as
dialog box? Simply click on it.But note that I strongly recommend against save data files in the
desktop computer. My recommendation is that you put nothing else that shortcuts on
the desktop computer. There are two things wrong to put the real files it:1. one day probably will remove you a real file, thinking that you were
just remove a shortcut.2. you you cluttering up the desktop with too many files, making it difficult
to find what you are looking for.You have to put your files Excel (and other real data files) in the
Documents folder. If you have some of these files you want
access often, put shortcuts to these files on the desktop.Ken Blake (MS-MVP)

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!

How can I configure the location for file dialog boxes?
See the topic. File open, Save Fale and friends display the file dialog box.
On the side of Lleft are in some places and I want to configure them. How is that possible?
Thanks a lot for listening!

There is no mechanism for this today. What you see here are common OS directories like 'Home' or 'Documents' and then recently traversed directories.

Why overview begins with a file dialog box when it opens now?
The last preview version now wants allows you to select a file when it is opened. I use the preview to create quick screenshots to the Clipboard and this behavior is a concern. It forces me to close this dialog box so that I can select new to show my screenshot. Is there a way to disable this option, if it goes back to the old way simply open the program without the Select file dialog box? plist change or something?

It is seems more confused. You can take a screenshot of the dialog box that opens.
Preview allows you to create a screen capture? How about pass order 4 and save to the desktop.

express file dialog box modifies my vi-directory
I have a project and all need to vi and Subvi file in the D:\work\LV14\test folder.
The LoadData.vi uses fileDialogExpress to read data from D:\Data\2015\fileNNN.
After runnig the vi in development mode, I want to open another vi and therfore use file - open...
and the LabView Dialogbox shows D:\Data\2015 instead of D:\work\LV14.
The same thing happens when I run wit 'New Vi' and 'save '.
It is a task click back to D:\work\LV14\...
Hopefully, someone can help me
best regards, Erwin
It is a feature of the operating system (it remembers the last place you were when it finally emerged) - If you use the VI of file dialog, you can specify the 'path of departure', so it always opens the dialog box in the path that you specify. I think you can do the same for controls of path of file on the pattern-block as well.

Hi guys.
I developed a VI that connects to the database reads the names of tables, columns of the selected table, etc. It works well as I want to.
However, I have problem with identifying the UDL file with function of dialog 'file' use in a structure of the event that is triggered when the button 'Open' value is changed. It also works well, when I choose the UDL file, but the problem is when I cancel it and I get the error 43.
I tried to deal with this problem with a "error handler" function to clear the error 43 but the next errors that are associated with the database conncetion appeared. The reason is, when file dialog is cancelled, an empty path passes by reference of connection and I can't start the while loop where are the key codes. I also used a box Structure connected to "Cancelled" with 'DB connection tool' in case of real and connection the reference connection for the while loop, but I get the same result.
I want to apply for work as: start to push the button "Open" and select the file UDL, the loop run to establish the connections database, if not with the cancellation of the file dialog box, the application waits by pushing the button open and select the UDL file again.
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
Hi lman,.
start to push the button "Open" and select the file UDL, the loop run to establish the connections database, if not with the cancellation of the file dialog box, the application waits by pushing the button open and select the UDL file again.
Some pseudocode, easy to implement:
WHILE onevent(OPEN button) FileDialog IF file selected THEN open database do calculations ELSE do nothing ENDIF WEND
What is your problem with the help of loops and structures of the case?

Save as dialog box slow to create, rename folders
When you create a folder in any window save as with any program the interface stalls for about a minute. In fact, even right click in ANY other window that Windows Explorer itself causes the program to stall. So, whenever I want to create a folder when you save a file, or rename a file or folder, I must first of all open the Explorer and then back to the desired program and browse to the new location.
She did not used to be the case. I turned Windows Search because I thought that indexing could be the cause of the problem but nothing helped.
What could be the problem and how can it be solved?
Think about the answer given does not address the issue, I've seen this phenomenon and seen it discussed in several forums.
A good suggestion is the "stall" is probably caused by what you're asking to do... i. e the list of folders in which you can save the machine, and usually causes the access time of network volumes or drives slow to take more time for a list of cached directories. In addition, a mapped drive that is not available will cause a very long time and is the cause of this behavior. If the delay you see is probably caused by the application that attempts to find for caching records available.
Click Start--> computer and remove the network grows with a red 'X' or go to tools (press the alt key if you do not see the menu) and select network drives disconnect and then select them (those with the 'X' in red) and disconnnect the one at a time
If you can not remove the network here try drive then via the command prompt start-> type CMD in the search field and hit back or in the line to run in XP etc...
NET use h:/d
where, instead of "h", you specify the drive that needs to be deleted. Then restart.
A more radical approach would be to leave a cmd prompt
NET use / persistent: no
but I think this removes all of the shares of persistent network at the next reboot.
I'm still looking, but it may be a way to change the registry so that it does not cache directories of network share, or you can alterantively does not map directories. In both cases, try this and I think you should see an improvement in the Save in dialog box.
Either way, if you get an error that it cannot remove the share you specify you must always restart, it should have restarted. If not, well you have a new problem in google, bing, altavista, etc using the search engine of your choice.
Good luck and stakeholders MS, please make greater efforts to meet your users... you really think that msconfig is where you want to send your users first?

Hmm... What's not here? When the file in the dialog selected with double-click, and then disappeared with the mouse down, so dialogue, your dialogue control receives the mouse upward:
Double click: mouse-> mouse-> mouse downwards upwards downwards (here missing dialogue)-> the mouse upwards (you got it). Nothing wrong. Can be inconvenient in some cases.
