How does one run Google Keep or other websites like an app or kiosk on a Windows PC.
Since I figured this out and nobody seems to of had a response, I made my own question and answered it. Credit to OurCodeWorld for helping figure out some of the fine tuning. He had a --chrome-frame flag, but I believe that is depreciated, so I am looking into it. But it seems to work fine without it
TLDR: Create a shortcut to chrome and add --app= this to the end of it. like this --app=https://keep.google.com/u/0/.
Now if you want it to have a specific size window? Well, you will have to add --window-size=WIDTH,LENGTH. But... Chrome saves the size of the last window closed, which If you use Chrome as a browser, this will change frequently. To solve this, we create a separate user-data directory --user-data-dir="C:\ExampleDir". This folder is around 50mb of who knows what...
So the whole thing put together, like this.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --user-data-dir="%localappdata%\GoogleKeep\User Data" --window-size=950,1000 --app=https://keep.google.com/u/0/
All of the sudden the method by apps open the "select a file" dialog stopped working. For instance if I go to https://uploadfiles.io/, clicking on it does nothing, but the drag and drop works.
This is happening for apps as well, for example I just needed to resync my Google Drive and change the folder location, clicking in "browse" to select a folder does nothing. However, going to Notepad and file > open file works.
I've been searching for a while for the method, .dll, or something that is responsible for this without success. Anyone with a similar issue or more knowledge than what I have can point me in the right direction?
I'm not a naive English speaker so I am not sure if I'm not finding anything because I am not using the right names to search for it.
Windows 10 64b INSIDER PREVIEW FAST RING
I have exactly the same issue. It started somewhere between Friday and today. (Computer was shutdown for two weeks until friday night and before shutting down the problem did not exist.) I suspect some update. In addition to the mentioned issue I have trouble downloading files through Chrome. Edge and IE are downloading fine. Firefox will be installed to test this. It is consistent which apps are (not) allowed to spawn new windows. Apps in 'Program Files' seem OK while those in 'Program Files(x86)' differ. Of those in the (x86) folder OpenOffice is allowed to open a browse window, Adobe Reader is not. KeePass is allowed to open files, EventGhost is not. (changing install folder does not make a difference).
Since it is not clear how long this issue has been around I am hesitant to do a system restore. Also I believe that is a bandaid, not a solution. I am on the Fast Ring of updates.
I have an Windows box, which originally had Windows 7 installed and was later on upgraded to Windows 10.
On Windows 10 I added a 3TB hard disk for backups. I set up the new hard disc as backup target and started the first backup. This now is some days ago, but whenever I check the status I get following message: File History is saving copies of your files for the first time.
On the backup disc nothing happens. There is created a folder M:\FileHistory\username\boxname\Data, but there are no files in it.
There is just a link (for whatever reason not a button) below, to stop the backup. When I restart it, I get the same message but nothing happens.
Anybody any idea, what could be the reason or what to do?
Thanks in advance...
Finally found the solution. Keep in mind, I use a german version of windows. Hence, the menu point names may not be accurately translated.
In the control center > system and security > file history > extended settings
There is a link to the event viewer related to backup events.
It had some messages telling it could not save a file in a given folder. Deleting the folder, and also the BACKUP-DRIVE:\FileHistory folder on the backup drive solved the issues.
I have just destroyed an entire style.css file on a server. I was really tired and managed to delete the entire thing.. Now i need to recover this somehow. I have already pressed ctrl + f5 to view the changes but ofcourse i broke the entire thing.
I am using mozilla firefox and have tried using about:cache in the browser window but it only displayed the empty version of style.css.
Do you guys think i could locate the mozilla firefox cache folder and try recovering the entire folder searching for the file. But i have heard that firefox is using a security feature that doesn't name the files in original file names and extensions?
Id be grateful for any help!! Thanks
I was able to scavange the file using this software http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mozilla_cache_viewer.html on another company pc that still had it in the cache.
But lesson of the story is have backup and do use git!! Will save you a lot of hassle.
I use xcode 3.2.4 on snow leopard. Today when I tried to save a file on my project I get an error message saying: The document "nameOfFile.m" could not be saved. I tried reinstalling xcode but no luck. The file can be edited with other editors and I see the same behavior on all my projects as well as newly created projects. Any ideas?
Simply by rebooting the computer the issue was fixed.
We were having this problem in a lab environment where user files are mounted via NFS.
The client machines are running OS X 10.6.7 and the file server is running Debian Linux.
After much grief and reading /var/log/syslog on the client machine I discovered it was a subtle file locking / race condition issue with the file system. Evidently, when editing files in a "bundle" (e.g. as in an Xcode project), the OS is using some form of "safe writes" which involves writing transient data atomically to ~/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/ (which of course is on the NFS mounted system) -- there is a race here that requires proper file locking. We hope we have fixed the problem by changing the nfs_mount options
as described in Mounting NFS volumes in OS X
Not sure why but the temp files ended in a odd state. In "/private/var/folders" I simply removed all the folders and it cleared up the problem
cd /private/var/folders
sudo rm -fR *
Note: never do a "sudo rm" unless you really know what you are doing. It can cause irrecoverable damage
I restarted XCode (by a force-quit, not just closing it) and that fixed it for me.
Make sure you have you mouse focused on the code area and not the file in the file list.
Cleaning the project (Product > Clean), then force quitting Xcode (Command + Option + Escape, select Xcode, click Force Quit) solved the issue for me. I'm not sure if the clean was necessary, but that was what I did. Upon re-opening the project, I let Xcode index the project before doing anything, then did a Build, and all is well.
Force quiting Xcode for me worked. I would recommend the same.
Hey........... even i faced the same problem..... But got the answer......
steps:
reveal in folder the project.
select the file that is locked
select 'GEt Info'
deselect ie uncheck the label 'LOCKED' in the Info.
I just ran into the same problem, then I noticed I ran out of disk space. You can disable the warning that pops up when you run low on disk space (perhaps not a wise thing to do). I did that a few days ago and was puzzled for a moment when this message appeared. They could've just said "Disk full" or something instead of "cannot save". Anyway if anyone ever runs into this just free up some disk space.
You might be able to save in an external editor because its not also building your app which might use up the little remaining space. It might also be why it worked after rebooting (if OS X cleaned up some cached stuff on reboot) so it seems plausible.
Either that or your HDD might have just crashed.
tic....tic....tic.....
In my Case, the File which was saying document could not be saved was basically Shortcut/Allies of the file present at another place.
I don't know why it was not able to save if it was opened by shortcut/allies in xcode but by overwriting(Copy and Paste) the orignal files to that shortcut my problem was solved.

1.Right click on that file
2.Go to Show in Finder .
3.Click on get info .
4.Goto Sharing & Permission
Everyone,username,Fetching & selection ----You can choose appropriate read write option.
I have face this issue many times. I followed below steps to fixed this.
1. Select file->Show in Finder
2. Copy those file and past different destination.
3. Remove those file from xCode (to selecting show in finder)
4. Then again add those files from other destination to actual location
5. Clean code and run the code.
Another possible reason is that the file you are trying to modify is an alias (i.e. a soft link).
You will have to modify the source file directly in this case.
Thanks #Wayne Cochran,
When I use Xcode to save it, I rebooted the machine several times, and all failed.
So I changed to Visual Studio Code to edit and save. Then it's OK.
Just change the file editor
This can happen when you are working with a network hard drive (or are on a cloud) and not connected to the network (connection lost)
