Search using file name extensions

• Some Excel files download but do not show associated with Excel or seem to have no file name extension.

  Some Excel files download but do not show associated with Excel or seem to have no file name extension. If I download these files using Internet Explorer, they open properly. I can add xls or xlsx file and it will open properly with Excel. If I select the file open the 'Open with' dialog box and I If select Excel, the file does not open at all... nothing happens and Excel does not open. The excel in the picture as an attachment file are those where I added the excel file name extension.

  Unfortunately, the way that Firefox gives the name of file is more literal and less improvisational than Internet Explorer, you may need to add this extension .xls or .xlsx yourself from time to time.

  If you want to do it in the shortest time, you can change the immediate download to ask you where to save the file, which also foresees the possibility to change the file name. If you want to try it, the setting is described here: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

• In any case to stop WMP using identification tags and simply use file names?

  I do not use DVD or CD more - for the most part, torn from my PC and streaming via WMP on my PS3/TV

  Only problem I have, is that I used the folder & file naming to organize all my media
  in fact I only use the view file on WMP
  but uses WMP ID tags where date and/or filename if not - that seems messy
  In any case to stop WMP using identification tags and simply use file names?
  Or at least WMP can be used to remove unwanted tags - mainly video?
  I tried to remove them one at a time that "seems" to work until I have re-catalog and tags miraculously reappear?

  Tri-pour those who have the same problem - I used Windows to remove the ID tags

  Open the window containing the media files > search * to reveal all the files (save you open folders one at a time)
  Folder view > Details
  Right-click on the column details bar / > more >
  
  Add the 'title' column (this will display the titles (tags) > OK)
  Sort by title window will consolidate all the videos that have set the title/tags
  Select all video files with titles
  Right click > properties > Details >
  
  Choose "Remove properties and personal information" > OK
  
  Choose "remove after this file properties.
  Check "Title" (multiple values) - careful not to tick/delete other important tags
  Ok
  Take a few minutes depending on the number of files
  Sorted
  WMP shows now all my media by filename

• Cannot unselect the file name extensions and hidden items

  Nice day

  I use Windows 8 Pro. I noticed that all my files file name extensions
  are visible, so I went in to my folder and under show/hide display board, I saw that "File name Extensions" are checked
  and "Hidden Items" unchecked.
  I then tried to uncheck "File name Extensions", but nothing happens. The checkbox just reappears and I can't delete
  the name of the file extensions, so to speak. Also I cannot view my hidden object because when I check this box it displays a check mark
  for a split second and then it is still a time unchecked.
  I also went in Folder Options in Control Panel, click on "View files, folders and drives" and I checked
  him "Hide extensions of known file types" applied, but nothing happens. When I reopen it the Folder Options both of them
  Yet once are unchecked.
  If anyone can help me in this matter, it will be appreciated gratefully.

• Unmasking the exported files file name extension

  Hello

  When you export a Pages (PDF, DOCX...) file (.pdf, .docx...) file name extension is hidden automatically, even if it appears in the file save dialog box. As it is for most of the files that will be sent to the employees on a PC, see the file extension name is very important.

  Is it possible to force Pages to let these visible extensions?

  Thank you!

  Paolo

  It belongs to your PC users own parameters so they have file extensions or not.

  On a Mac, just select the file and Get Info (command I) then check the box show the file extension .

  There is also a checkbox in the Save dialog to show or hide the extension.

• How to change a Movie Maker file name extension

  I am trying to load a video You Tube and Facebook of Movie Maker on Vista, yet both programs say that they do not support the MSWMM file name extension. How can I change the extension wmv or something supported by these programs without destroying the file?
  I already changed the position of file name by renaming the file, but it destroyed and I was not even able to see.

  Hi Linsala,

  Try highlighting your video on the collection list and then clicking Save film on top of the toolbar. Go through the steps and it should save it as a wmv.

  If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. We can't wait to hear back from you with your results. Brian

• Cannot install - the downloaded file name extension is .7z and I am not able to open it

  Hi all

  Hope someone can help. I just downloaded my Creative Suite, but can't install the program that my computer does not recognize the file name extension ending with.7z of a 7Z file.

  DesignStandard_CS6_LS16.7z

  What's next?

  Mata

  You can download the files from the link Atul mentions above.

  Under Windows, there is a .exe file and usually a .7z file.

  Download the two files in the same folder and run the Exe file to start the installation

  If you have additional questions, please see the instructions to extract the files and install your product.

• search for file names with tilde character

  trying to locate all the file name containing the tilde (~) character. It is obviously special for the search as a search looking for files with this character corresponds to each file. I can't find the mechanism to quote the tilde so that Windows will search for files containing the tildes in name literally.

  You expect to be easy to find the answer, but then I found others asking the question. I can't find the answer.

  See the following article on research in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/75447-search-options.html.  I ' ts faily basic and probably does not cover what you need to know to make the research you are tyring to do.

  Here is an article on research options in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/75451-advanced-search.html.

  Here is an article on the use of advanced query options to improve searches in Vista (I think yuu might find your answer in this one): http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/158288-advanced-searches.html.

  I hope this helps.  If not go back and I'll try to find more resources or attempting to do myself to see if I can understand how do.  It seems that Mr. Wizard answered the question before I coulld end my post. The anwer to the 'why' is probably contained in the above items.

• How do you search a file name with parenthesis in there?

  Received a ton of files with duplicates, I need to delete.

  All the duplicate files end with '(1)' in the file name, for example: FilenameTest (1) .pdf

  I would like to find all files with '(1)' in the name of the file and then delete them, but spotlight search no parenthesis. This seems to be a documented problem (bug?). Is there a syntax or other workaround to force the spotlight to return a search with the bracket?

  Thanks in advance.

  The Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open the Script Editor and run the following exactly as shown:

  Tell application "Finder".

  Remove (each point of (choose folder) whose name contains '(1)')

• How does NOT save a file name extension?

  Hey everybody!

  I have a script for Photoshop > > extension a bit > > I click on a button and the script save the .jpg file into a png (with extra stuff "of course") file in the same folder.

  Works like a charm...

  But when it comes to the original file name: exemple.jpg

  I get this png file name: example.jpg.png

  I save the file name and path with this code:

  filePath = app.activeDocument.path + '/' + app.activeDocument.name; + '.png';
  

  The goal is to get rid of the section '.jpg' the new file name.

  I tried to save file name in a variable and then reduce the number of characters or even save it without the extension, but no luck.

  any ideas? !

  Thank you!

  var name = app.activeDocument.name;
  If (Name.indexOf(".")! = - 1) Name = Name.substr (0, Name.lastIndexOf("."));
  filePath = app.activeDocument.path + "/" + Name + ".png";
