I want to give my app, which currently simply saves out folders, the option of giving these folders file extensions (for saving packages).
At the moment, when I do 'saveDocumentAs:', I get the save sheet with 'Untitled' as the suggested filename, how can I optionaly make it say (for example) 'Untitled.myext'?
Cheers

NSDocument is supposed to require whatever file extension is configured for your document in your Info.plist. Is it possible the "Hide extension" checkbox is checked?
If you want to force the extension to be shown, it's a persisted preference, so you'd have to do it like:
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:NO] forKey:#"NSNavLastUserSetHideExtensionButtonState"];

In SharePoint online when my flow moves the file (PDF, ZIP...) named "U000" in a folder where is a file with the same name it renames the file in "U0001".
How can I customize this to be renamed like "U000-Rev.1" or "U000_copy(1)" instead of "U0001"?
I know this is the default SharePoint behavior and there is no option for renaming format but maybe I can change or add a code in "definition.json" file from exported ZIP flow (or somewhere else).
(I'm not a software developer so any answer/idea is welcomed.)
Thank you!
Add an if statement to check the file name you just uploaded. If it contains (1) at the end of the name then rename the file. This is probably the least convoluted fast approach but it's not 100% robust.
You can add more logic or change the approach to make it fully robust but you can look into that after you've got something working imo, baby steps.
I have created an embedded pdf with the insert> object > create from file> browse > display as icon function in excel.
I would like to then use the embedded pdf as an attachment for my outlook email using vba code. I have tried to use the .Attachment.Add code but it seems to fail to detech an embedded object.
Could anyone advise a correct code? Thanks!
Get the file from the source?
I don't understand why you would need to embed the.PDF object in the workbook, if you're going to be emailing it separately anyhow...
Regardless, you could just grab the actual/original .PDF to attach a copy to the email, directly from the same location from where it was embedded. (If it's not there, what happened to it?)
Another option:
As soon as you right-click the embedded object, Excel 2016 "gets ready" for you to open it by extracting it to your local temp folder. (I'm unsure whether this applies to previous versions.)
Therefore, you could programmatically right-click the embedded icon, and then check the temp folder located at the path that you'll find stored in Environ("temp"). One or more copies of your file will be located there (and it should be the 'newest' PDF).
Yet another option:
Excel's XLSM file is simply a compressed ZIP file, if you change the extension. You could programmatically make a copy of the file, changing it's extension to .ZIP.
Embedded object are stored as .BIN files within the ZIP file in the xl\embeddings\ folder. It would have to be extracted and then renamed back to a PDF. Note that this method is a little flakey and won't work with all PDF's.

I have created a simple Excel file using SpreadSheetGear. If I save it as an xls file
workbook.SaveAs("file.xls", SpreadsheetGear.FileFormat.Excel8);
and attach it to an email, I can open it on my phone (tested both with iPhone and Android).
If I save it as an xlsx file
workbook.SaveAs("file.xlsx", SpreadsheetGear.FileFormat.OpenXMLWorkbook);
and attach it to an email, I CANNOT open it on my phone.
If I open the xlsx file attachment on my computer and save it with no changes and attach it to an email, I now can open it on my phone.
Apparently Excel saves the file differently than SSG. The file size of the xlsx file attachment is 9 KB. When I open it on my computer and save it, the new file size is 24 KB.
Some of my users prefer the xlsx format. Is there anything I can do with to make the SSG generated file attachment open like an Excel generated file attachement?
iOS depends on certain attributes being present in the worksheet data of the Open XML file format to properly parse these files. SpreadsheetGear does not write these attributes out because they are listed as optional in the Open XML file format specification and, also, omitting them reduces file size, as you have noted. Excel, for whatever reason, always writes out these optional attributes and other third-party components often times rely on their presence to function correctly. SpreadsheetGear V5 added a workaround to write out these attributes by enabling a certain "Experimental" option. This option was added because the OLE DB provider also exhibits this errant behavior. You might try something like the following and see if this helps in getting SpreadsheetGear to better work with your viewer:
IWorkbookSet workbookSet = Factory.GetWorkbookSet();
workbookSet.Experimental = "OleDbOpenXmlWorkaround";
IWorkbook workbook = workbookSet.Workbooks.Open(#"C:\temp\BadWorkbook.xlsx");
workbook.SaveAs(#"C:\temp\GoodWorkbook.xlsx", FileFormat.OpenXMLWorkbook);
Please see the SpreadsheetGear.IWorkbookSet.Experimental property for more information on this feature.
From what I can tell, iOS/Andriod/etc often also depend on other certain optional features available in the file formats that SpreadsheetGear either doesn't support or write out by default. For instance, iOS depends on a "data cache" stored within charts to display chart series data points and SpreadsheetGear's support for writing out this data cache is limited. This can result in charts not displaying as expected in iOS, Android, etc.
We have an existing application that allows exporting of an Infragistics data grid to either Excel or PDF format. Currently, when the user clicks on the Export button, it asks them where to save the file and then it exports it and saves it. Then, to launch it, they go to where they saved it and then it launches.
The user wants the application to instead launch the grid into either Adobe Acrobat or Excel and THEN that is where the user can opt to save the file. They don't want it to ask where you wish to save it before it exports, like it currently is doing now.
Is this possible with the Infragistics Document Exporter? I couldn't find any information on this from the Infragistics web site.
I'm thinking, instead of giving it a filename, I could instead use a stream maybe to the console or something like that and let the OS give the user the option to launch it?
Is there an example somewhere of this being done? I see there is an overload in the Export member function that allows you to pass in a stream.
Thanks!.
The Infragistics excel engine and documents engine will need to write to a file to be able to have the file opened in Excel or Adobe Acrobat so you will still need to save a file before they can open it.
For the requirement to open the file, you could use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start method and if there is a program associated with the file type you can pass the file that you just saved.
As there is a dependency on the file system to open the file in Excel or Adobe Acrobat you will not be able to achieve your goal of not requiring the file be saved first. While it may be an option to save the file in a temporary location and then open that file it also has an issue that if the user were to click save in excel it would still save in the temporary location so they would need to know to use Save As to save in a different location.

Question: I am creating a large preference editing tool with pages of dialogs with different settings for the user to customize. Each "page" of settings will be written to its own XML file.
The user will have two options: 1) Save These, where they will be prompted to specify which pages they wish to save, and 2) Save All, which will save each page into their own XML files.
For the Save All function, I'd like it if the user only had to specify a directory into which he/she wishes to save all of the files. I'm fairly certain that I have to use the FolderBrowserDialog class, but I'm not sure how. I imagine it's very similar to an OpenFile dialog or a SaveFile dialog with one of the arguments specifying to save to a directory.
I found the FolderBrowserDialog class on the MSDN, but it wasn't very helpful. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
SOLUTION: I have found a working solution. It is essentially a combination of a few answers above, but for people seeking a similar solution in the future, I referenced THIS page. The author created a wrapper class for the messy code that is needed to create a directory-chooser dialog. Thank you for all the suggestions. You all helped me along in the right direction. Cheers.

Use ::SHBrowseForFolder(). It shows the standard "browse for folder dialog" (at least up to Windows XP; I've no idea if Vista/7 have a new one).
I personally use it wrapped in a class, as seen here.
I think asking the user to save "individual" pages is weird, me think you should save all of them in one file (hey, but that just me).
If you need to save individual page, you will have to prompt the user with a small dialog that lists the pages and let the user select which page; or you can decide to save only the pages that were modified.
To select a folder, the simplest way is to use ShBrowseForFolder (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762115(v=vs.85).aspx)
Max.
Look into the OPENFILENAME structure and the GetSaveFileName function. The latter actually displays the save file dialog.
