Can't save files to Last Folder Used

I'm scanning items with a Kodak iQsmart3, running under Kodak's oXYgen 2.6.1 scan application. Late last week, the application suddenly stopped saving files to the last folder used. Now I have to re-select the destination folder for each scan.
I have rebooted the computer several times, and have also re-installed the scan application, but nothing helps the problem. It seems now that the problem may be with OS 10.4.11. I've searched and searched for a solution within the OS, but can't find anything that helps.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to proceed? Is there a place where you can check to see if the saving options can be changed?

Thanks for your suggestion. However, I did as you advised and still cannot save files to the last folder used, as I used to be able to do.
This is the first time in the 2 1/2 years I've been using this system that I've had any trouble with it. When I opened Disk Utility, it showed me the size and type of three different drives, all identical in manufacture. The first holds the Operating system, and the other two are set up in a Raid Striped set. I selected Macintosh HD under the name of the first drive, since that's the name of the disk on my desktop, and ran the Repair Permissions function, moving the recentitems.plist file to the desktop and rebooting, as per your instructions. Was that the proper area to use or should I have selected the disk description above that?
(Below is the disk information from the Disk Utility application)
Disk Description : Hitachi HDS725050KLA360 Media Total Capacity : 465.8 GB (500,107,862,016 Bytes)

  • Downloading images used to go automatically to the last folder used to save images, even when reopening Firefox. In just the past few days, possibly coinciding wih the most recent updates, the folder defaults to the 'Downloads' folder. This is most annoyi

    Downloading images used to go automatically to the last folder used to save images, even when reopening Firefox. In just the past few days, possibly coinciding wih the most recent updates, the folder defaults to the 'Downloads' folder. This is most annoying. What happened? Internet Explorer 8.0 did the same thing. This was one of the reasons why I started using Firefox to download all images. I went into Tools>Options and it only lets me set another folder. I dont want to set a specific folder I want it to always go to the last folder used. So what gives?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == possibly when the most recent updates were installed, a few days ago

    Thanks jscher 2000. I guess I didn't make it clear. "It restarts with all the addons activated, and resumes with the tabs that were open before closing it." IE, it's running fine now with all the extensions activated. Everything is OK now.
    So something in the Firefox code was causing the bad behavior. It's not essential that I find out what the problem was - I'm just curious. And if anybody else has this same problem, it might be nice to have it corrected at the source.

  • Can't save attachments to selected folder

    I've just started using BT Yahoo email, as my LiveMail is kaput, and I find I can't download an attachment to a selected folder. When I click on the file, I'm given merely the generic option to 'Save to computer'. (See screen shot.) This just sends the file to my Download folder where it gets lost among 1001 other files. What am I doing wrong?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Check your browser settings - e.g. Firefox defaults to 'Save files to Downloads' folder without prompting, but can be changed to 'Always ask me where to save files'. What browser are you using?

  • Illustrator cc 2014 can't save files

    Hi!
    I Have a lot of problems with the Illustrator CC 2014. And it freaks me out. I have no idea how to reach Adobe. I've tried another Adobe forum but haven't heard anything.. I would appreciate some sort of help. Or if someone knows where to post the question?
    1) First of all can't save files… I wish this could be the number one feature in a design app but apparently not..
    I got   "unknown error " and all work spent is gone forever. This happens a lot.
    2) also lagging problems. when moving graphics and zooming in illustrator. it is SO stressful.
    I have Two computers, with the same problems.

    Nils Petter,
    If no brighter suggestion comes up, you may try the list, see below.
    Did you install fully on both computers (after upgrading the OS if relevant)?
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • How can I sort files in a folder by name?

    How can I sort files in a folder by name? iFS first sort files that starts with upper-case letter and then files with lower-case letter.
    Like:
    A_file
    B_file
    a_file
    b_file
    I want:
    A-file
    a_file
    B_file
    b_file
    This doesn't help:
    String[] sort_attributes = {"NAME"};
    boolean [] sort_orders = {true};
    SortSpecification sort = new SortSpecification(sort_attributes, sort_orders);
    currentFolder.setSortSpecification(sort);
    Do I have to get all items in a folder and then sort them?
    /Elin

    I do not think there is a way to do that without add-ons
    There are a couple of workarounds I am aware of
    * Add the bookmarks manually in the bookmarks library and choose the position. That is using Show all bookmarks -> open required folder -> select a position and right click -> add new bookmark <br />Rather a slow and clumsy process
    * Sort a folder and copy it. If you sort the folder contents then copy and paste them they remain in that order when pasted.
    There are add-ons but I have not tried them. For example
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/simplesort-bookmarks/
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/auto-sort-bookmarks/
    There will be others available and take note of the advice to backup bookmarks manaully.

  • Save file in multiple directories using receiver file adapter?

    Hi,
    Is it posible to save file in multiple directories using receiver file adapter?
    Regards,
    Ashish

    Well, there is a round about way to do that -
    The idea is to use multi mapping. 1:n mapping
    1) Map ur message to 2 different record set nodes. Since you want to use the same file both the mapping will look exactly the same. make sure that the filepath and filename are a part of the output payload message
    2) In the file adapter config. make sure the the file name and file path are from these payload fields. You can use a context object to refer these fields. Voila...the files are created in the 2 direcoties you mentioned.
    of course the simplest way is to route the same message to 2 business systems/services and write them out using 2 ccs.,

  • Can't save file with futura font?

    Hi
    I'm having a problem saving a file that contains the futura font. This is a font my company had to buy. I never had a problem with CS1 or CS2 using this font.
    Once I place the font in the document it will let me save it once. After making changes and trying to save again I get a window that simply says "can't save file". I've tried unchecking the pdf compatible option and the compression option with no change.
    I found one thread on this site about clearing out the font cache (by deleting the file C:\windows\system32\FNTCACHE.dat) and that didn't make a difference.
    When I'm done with the document I'll be converting the text to outlines but I need a fix will I'm working on the doc.
    Thoughts?

    Mike,
    Glad you got it sorted out. After I sent you back the regenerated fonts, I discovered something which I'm posting here for everyone's benefit.
    Myle nailed it when he suggested an "an issue with font embedding." The fonts you sent me were all embedding-restricted. It's possible you could have saved your documents had you turned off the PDF compatibility option, but it's moot now.
    It's doubtful the fonts I regenerated for you will solve the problem because putting them through my font editor did not remove the embedding restriction. I would bet dollars to doughnuts that your replacement fonts do not have embedding restriction.
    To check for the embedding restriction, you don't need a fancy program. Just download this Windows extension from Microsoft and install it. Then, right-click | Properties on any font file will give you a lot more information about that font, including licensing/embedding restrictions.

  • IWork: Bought as an app but never got serial number so I can't save files??

    iWork: Bought as an app but never got serial number so I can't save files??

    This means that at some time you had the iWork ’09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • Updated photoshop cc and I can't save files now

    Updated photoshop cc and I can't save files now

    No, but before anyone can help you, you'll need to tell us what version of Photoshop you are using, and what your new update status is. Plus we need to know what your operating system is.
    [edit]
    Whoops.  Just noticed that you mention CC, so I guess you are talking about 14.1.  So what is your OS?

  • Ready-only issue. Can't save files or highlight with Reader 11.7.1 & Kitkat 4.4.2 Samsung Tab 3

    Hello,
    I got several updates last weekend. Since then I can't save my pdf files properly. Before everything was fine.
    When I want to open a pdf now -  a prompt pops-up, saying this:
    Read-only document
    To modify this document save a copy on your device. The document will be available to other applications on this device.
    I found another thread which describes the same error - but I already have 11.7.1 with 4.4.2 and it does not work.
    Can't save files or highlight them on Reader 11.7.0 in Kitkat 4.4.2 Acer A1 Tablet

    Are these files stored on your external SD card or your internal storage? Android KitKat has added restrictions for third party apps from modifying content on the external SD Card. You can find some more information here: KitKat and SD cards — what's fixed, what's broken and what's misunderstood | Android Central
    Could you please confirm if the issue exists for files on the SD card only?
    Thanks,

  • I can't save files to my desktop, but I can save anywhere else. How do I fix this?

    I can't save files to my desktop.  I have no problem saving the same file anywhere else.  WHen I try through excel, for example, it tells me the file is read only. When I try to save it as a different file name, a pop up tells me I do not have permission to save to the desktop.  The same issue occurs when I attempt to take a screen shot (default save to desktop)

    Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, give yourself Read & Write access under Sharing and Permissions or Ownership and Permissions, and ensure it's not locked.

  • Can't save pictures on original folder position after edit...since I'm upgraded to IOS7 on IPad2.

    can't save pictures on original folder position after edit, get save popup to save at different position, also still on toubles to get them back to original folder positon since I'm upgraded to IOS7 on IPad2.

    I say the problem is probably noted, and probably will be resolved. Not that i can speak for Apple.  I find the "problems" of wallpaper to be pretty minor compared to the advantages of iOS 7.  The fun of wallpaper has always been pretty insignificant here.

  • Can we save file developed in captivate 4 to captivate version 3

    Can we save file developed in captivate 4 to captivate version 3? If yes are there any issues?

    Sorry, there is no backwards compatibility, you cannot save in format CP3 from CP4. Perhaps it is possible, if you have both CP3 and CP4 installed to copy slides from the CP4 to an blank CP3-file. As long as no new features of CP4 are present this could work.
