Showing extensions of files...?

When I view the files in a folder, I would like to see the extension of file (for example, .pdf) presented explicitly as part of the file name. How can I do this?

Hello Robert Tapper,.

1. open Control Panel.

2. click on folder options.

3. in the folder options window, click the view tab.

4. in the view tab scroll down to hide the extensions of the file types that you want to know.

5. click on the box next to this option to remove the check mark (tick).

6. press OK.

7. close the folder options.

8. your files should now appear as well as the relevant extensions.

  • Live photo showing 2 different files in photos app on mac!

    Hello

    I recently imported photos from my iphone to my Mac using photos for OSX app. But after graduating successfully imported it shows me two different elements i.e. photo itself & a short video. So for my 300 live photos it's show me 300 photos and 300 videos.

    So why it shows two different files, I suppose, that it should show only direct photo because it shows on my iPhone.

    I also tried to repair the library command to open the photos app, but it did not work. Help, please!

    Thank you

    Live webcam picture is two files, a picture and a video - what it is

    where are you seeing the two files?

    If you really have OS X 10.10.1 and Photos 1.0 as you say then that's the problem - you are updated to eleven or twelve behind and these updates included support Live Photo - you must upgrade to El Captain OS X 10.11.6 and Photos 1.5

  • From Firefox 8, I can't see the extensions.rdf file. Is that what it was replaced/renamed/obsolete?

    After Firefox 8, I can't see the file extensios.rdf as before. Basically, I used to get the key firefox for example {ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}, then get the FF version via em: minVersion / em: maxVersion.

    Extensions.SQLite has replaced the extensions.rdf file in Firefox 4.0 and later versions. It is not a simple ' text' file as was the RDF file format.

    Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by «get the key to firefox»

    If you are looking to change the extension maxVersion property, don't change in the file install.rdf for each particular extension.

  • Hello. I have a site that display many audio outputs using the < audio > HTML5 tag. Firefox is the only browser that fails to show all audio files on the Web page.

    It shows only the first audio file. All other browsers show all audio files...?

    The file is played for me, so it is possible that you need to re-code the ogg files to make them compatible with Firefox.

    I can play with MPlayer and VLC on Linux, but not with the audio player in Firefox.

  • How do I trouble or repair cmd.exe on Win XP? For some strange reason the extension bat files does not work

    Hi all

    I have four PC all currently running Win XP Professional Service pack 3. Unfortunately only two of them will run the extension bat files when I double-click the file or run the file at the cmd prompt. The other two for some strange reason will not. When I double-click on them the cmd window opens quickly and then stops as quickly. There, someone knows what's the problem?

    I tried to do my research and on another forum, someone suggested to reinstall or repair the cmd. Is this possible? If so, how? What is the right course of action at all?

    Please if someone could help me to solve this crisis, I would be extremely grateful. Without these bat running files, I can't render my farm runs correctly. Thank you.

    Too bad. Figured it out. Thanks anyway.

    It is possible that the file has been moved. It is possible, if the folder is on an external hard drive, the drive letter has changed. Without more details, it is difficult to diagnose. One thing you can try is to right click on the folder in the library module, choose the option to update the location of the folder. Then use the dialog box that appears at the point Lightroom folder.

  • creating 14 elements shows no mpeg file after upgrade from 13

    After the upgrade from Premiere Elements from 13 to 14 files mpeg do not open in the project window.  I tested the files in other applications and that they play.  I downloaded Dvix and it shows the MPEG files and MPEG codec is installed.  These files have played in the first 13 items.  I also converted the MPEG in AVI files and avi version plays in other applications, but not in first 14 elements.  No idea why?

    Ann Bens, thanks for the reply.  I renamed the folder that you have proposed.  The mpeg file were not protesting, but I saw an option when I right click the file name to replace.  I replaced it with himself, and he appears.  To be clear, I also uninstalled first items 14 and reinstalled. I don't know if the relocation or change of name of the folder or both has solved the problem, but the software works as advertised.

  • change the extension of file on several files at once

    Hello world! So, I'm redesigning a website and got almost completely done just by using a model. But then, I decided to incorporate some server-side includes. This is my first time with includes, but I seem to be doing it correctly! Except that I did not know files using understands it must be shtml instead of html. And all my html files. Is it possible to update all extensions of file at a time, instead of each file individually? Fortunately, it's not that huge a site and I have not hundreds of records up to date. But it would be easier if I didn't have to make them one at a time!

    Any help?

    Thank you!

    Courtney

    No, there isn't a way to do it as a batch operation. Make sure you do your changes in each file in the files Panel. Who will ensure that all the internal links are updated to reflect the new file name.

  • files without extensions - executable file unix

    We have difficulties to view some files on our server with a Macbook Pro, we just bought El Capitan running. Files with missing extensions show as the Unix executables and slashes in the name show as if they have been renamed. This only happens on this particular laptop. We have other MacBook Pro and iMac running El Capitan and previous OS which do not have this problem. Anyone have any idea why this would be be happing in just this one computer and is there a solution?

    Not sure if it helps, I have a folder on the server that contained files without extensions with another computer and copied to the Macbook Pro, which is to have these zipped questions and files display properly.

    This protocol you are using to connect to the file share on the server?

    What did you expect to happen when you work with these files?

    What really happened when you work with these files?
