Script to open the open dialog window

Hi all!

I am new to scripting and this is probably an easy question, but I'm trying to write a script that opens a dialogue window open. Basically, I need to run the script in an active document, having the script open the open dialog box (to allow the user to select another image) and then complete the script in the newly opened document. Every script that I find is to open a specific file, but I need to be user selected through the dialog box open in Photoshop.

I hope that makes sense! Laughing out loud. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Bradi

Here is an example of the way for the entry of a file. You can find information about the classes/object file and folder in the JavaScript Tools Guide. That PDF can be found in a subfolder where ExtendScript Toolkit is installed.

var myFile is File.openDialog ("selection prompt");.

If (myFile! = null) app.open (myFile);

  • Set the CS6 PS 'Open' dialog window size and location

    I just upgraded to OS X Mavericks for OS X El Capitan.  Until the upgrade, I've always been able to set the size of the 'Open' dialog PS CS6 and location, but it would seem that the option is no longer available.  What I get now is a window rather small (default).  I can resize and locate it, but it will not stick.  Next time I open the dialog box window is again at the default size and location.  I'm sure that there is probably an easy answer to this, but it is that I have not found so far.

    The size and location of the operating system open and save dialogs are controlled by the operating system.

  • What impression Firefox does not open the print dialog window

    When printing to our office, we often print on several printers, not just the default printer. When you print in Firefox, however, printing is automatically sent to the default printer and I do not get a print dialog window. I reset the options Firefox of the printer, change the file prefs.js and started Firefox in safe mode to check if an add-on affect printing - all about nothing done. When I print from Chrome, or (shudder) Internet Explorer, I get a dialog box send me options of the printer. Your help and your responses will be appreciated.

    There is a hidden preference to work around the dialog box, but it is certainly not defined by default. To check that:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste print and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) If you find a preference named print.always_print_silent there is your trouble.

    Next question would be, where it comes from? A few possibilities:

    (A) a user.js file that overrides prefs.js at startup. See: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    (B) a file lock in the program folder. See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences

  • TripAdvisor opens a window, even if the option to open tabs is defined

    I have the option to open links in a new tab rather than a new window. This seems to work perfectly except in a situation. TripAdvisor is often open a new window on 'appropriate other hotels', always hidden behind other windows, the only indication is the icon on the taskbar. This window opens on its own, not directly because of my actions, at least not because I clicked on a link. If I do not spot the taskbar icon and close the main window of Firefox first then the Tripadvisor window becomes the default and load at next startup. Fortunately I find all my other tabs on recently closed windows, but it's a hassle.

    How does Tripadvisor for this, in contradiction with the options, and when everything seems to follow the third party? Is it because it "opens"? It can be stopped?

    By default, Firefox diverts most of the links that open in new windows and the automatic pop-up windows in a new tab. However, if the pop-up specifies size or changes the toolbars are displayed, Firefox is different on the site as well as where it's a dialog box associated with the page, it appears as expected.

    You can force Firefox to treat all the same pop-up windows, they have these feature or not. This requires a visit in the topic: configuration preferences editor. My apologies for what will seem like too much details, but there are 3 related settings if I want a list of the people together.

    In a new tab, type or paste Subject: config and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    In the filter box, type or paste link.o and make a pause so that the list is filtered.

    Double-click to change the values as you wish (in particular the other one):

    (A) browser.link.open_newwindow

    3 = divert new window to a new tab (default) (checked *)

    2 = allow the link to open a new window (uncontrolled *)

    1 = new power window in the same tab

    * First check box in the Options > tabs

    (B) browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction -for links in Firefox tabs

    0 = apply the setting under (A) to all new windows (same script)

    2 = apply the setting under (A) for normal windows, but NOT for windows script with characteristics (default)

    1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows

    (C) browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external -for links in other programs

    -1 = apply the setting under (A) external links (default)

    3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window

    2 = open external links in a new window

    1 = open external links in the last active tab replaces the current page

  • Favorites do not appear in the sidebar save/open dialogs (El Capitan)

    The question

    The problem is that the sidebar first SAVE / OPEN Windows is missing from the list of favorites. Some people also report they are absent in the side bar of the Finder itself, but in my case, it was not the question.

    In some cases reboot temporarily seems to "solve" the problem, only to have it come back a little later.

    Some people have suggested to delete the Finder preferences plist file (~ / Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist). But people say it does not, correct or is it fixed only temporarily. Delete this file also kills all the Favorites from the Finder, which means he must recreate the list.

    I can hardly believe that a serious UI bug has occurred since the 10.11.0, which was released more than a year ago.

    Does anyone have a legitimate solution to this issue?


    In addition to background information

    This question seems to be fairly widely reported. There are many cases reported here on the Apple Forums, although I saw no meaningful discussion on the problem and permanent solutions.

    It is also fairly widely reported on other sites (blogs, etc.). Various solutions are available, but many people say these don't fix, or only very temporarily fix.

    As far as I know, this question was held for people in all versions of El Capitan, of 10.11.0 thanks 10.11.6 (the most common, from this announcement).

    A small sample of the cases reported here on the Apple Forums:

    Links in the finder sidebar missing dialogue

    Missing favorite folders during recording as in all software

    http://Apple.StackExchange.com/questions/208205/file-open-dialog-is-missing-side bar-objects

    This issue is fairly widely reported online. I searched through the Rapporteur of bugs and no results were returned, which seems hard to believe.

    Missing Finder instance handles dialogues open/save favorites.

    Often the sidebar is hidden. It can be restore to see, and then the Favorites are missing. People have reported this problem on line since 10.11.0

    Sometimes in the Finder itself in this case also.

    Steps to reproduce:

    Use registration opening of in any application.

    Sidebar missing all the favourites. Only the items that have been seen are DEVICES.

    Expected results:

    It should be a list of FAVORITES in the sidebar of all Windows Open/Save.

    Actual results:

    Sidebar is missing from the list of FAVORITES.

    Version:

    10.11.6 (the problem is reported to occur in all versions of El Capitan)

  • I can't and never been able to open a file that was previously saved on hard disk by selecting the print option to get in the print dialog box

    I can not and never been able to open a file that was previously saved on hard disk by selecting the print option to get in the print dialog box. Firefox displays gooblygook, even if the name of file is an html element, the Notepad of Windows crashes, MS Excel does not recognize the file type. MS Word also displays goobblys when the file has no file extension.

    If you use the file printing, then you will get a file that is supposed to be sent to a printer, and this file has any sort of code formatting for this printer.

    Open such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use one printer for text to print the file to, then make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

  • "MB Ethernet Slave Demon.vi" connection lost when opening a windows dialog box in my application

    Hello everyone,

    I am currently working on a LabVIEW application that communicates with a PLC using a Modbus Protocol (with an ethernet cable). The PLC is the master and the PC is the slave.

    The code is based on the Modbus of LabVIEW examples: "MB Ethernet example Master.vi, MB Ethernet example Slave.vi and MB Ethernet slave Demon.vi. It is not the first time I use it.

    But I recently discovered a problem. In my application, I have a pop-up with a button that opens a windows dialog box to select a result file.

    When the windows dialog box opens, the "MB Ethernet Slave Demon.vi" crashes (I put a meter inside to see what happened and it stops at the moment opens the dialog box), then when I close the dialog box, the counter continues to count, the connection ID is empty, and the number of the demon slave VI connection resets to 0. When communication is re-established between the PC and PLC (like 10 seconds after the closure of the dialog box), the number of connection go to 1 and table of login ID is no longer empty.

    Otherwise, the communication works very well. But not when the dialog box opens and is a significant problem for me because the user must be able to open results file during production that needs the Modbus communication at work because it's the controller who gives orders the computer to run the production cycle.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    If you think that the problem is inside the library NI Modbus (old), why don't you use the most recent which is available on the network of tools? Link is here: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-30140

    Looking into some of the screws in the library, she uses methods of Server VI as "Run a VI" that will perform the loop of the root, as it crashes while the file dialog is open. I suspect that the new version of the library is not the problem.

  • Open dialog box reorganizes the files that appear in the file text box

    I asked about this problem for a while - it still exists under Windows 7 Microsoft apparent feels that it is the correct behavior. In an application using a dialog open, where multiple files can be selected by clicking on them, while the CTRL key is held down, the resulting list of file names appears in the file text box. However, the first clicked file name remains last in the list while others remain in the proper order. Why is this? (An example of application is Windows Media Player, where you do a right click, then click on file and then open. The open dialog box appears and allows the selection of multiple files). When this "feature" has been more boring, it's when I try to create a CD or DVD and I want to control the order of the files.

    Hello RickL - CaryNC, welcome.

    This feature is by design. Of course, you can select the files in reverse order. I would really recommend providing feedback about this here:
    http://connect.Microsoft.com/

    Other than that, unless you use an alternative shell, the feature is a design problem. Ryan Thieman

  • Click tasks on the Web page of my bar, it opens the top 1/3 of the screen. Windows & Internet Explorer

    I then have to click on optimize for the full screen.  Settings correct?

    The difference between links and Favorites in the taskbar

    'Links' in the toolbar indicate that you clicked on the taskbar then choose toolbars selected tools and links.  The structure of toolbar, that which adds to the task bar is in fact of 'Favorites' - a subfolder of Internet Explorer Favorites.  You may also choose to display the bookmarks at the top of your window bar of: alt, v, toolbars, Favorites bar [and the importance of the bookmarks bar is the ability to display in this way - I do that and have found it very useful because it allows me to make favorite folders subfolders each appear as a small menu in the Favorites bar].  You can see it clearly if you have a nose autour C:\Users\yourusername\Favorites using Windows Explorer.

    When you drag something to the links, then drag it to the part of the favorite folder structure the confirmation dialog, you see so makes sense.

    The main question

    You have open IE, and then that you double-click an internet shortcut & it opens to the size of the window of IE?  Yes, it's what I expected, so I think that I do not understand what you wrote.
