Files are saving to desktop instead of into the original folder

Is there a simple fix? Some files, such as Quark files are saving to the desktop, rather than to the folder in which the original file resides. I've checked everywhere for the selection "save to same location as original file.," or some such thing. Help!

No, I'm not seeing m3u as a file extension in about:plugins. I have another computer running an older version of Firefox, 3.6.20, and it calls totem okay. it doesn't have m3u in about:plugins either

  • Archive files are in XML format and not in the original format

    Hi all,
    I am using a receiver file adapter with archiving option. When I look at the archive files they are in the XML converted format and not in the original flat file format received. We would like to store these files for audit purpose and it doesnt make sense to store XML files. We are in SP04. Does a note need to be applied or any other extra configurations need to be done which I might have missed? Please advise.
    -Teresa

    Hi,
    >>>Wow, the note says its fixed in SP10
    but only the split is fixed not the XML messages in the archive I think (from the note)
    >>>Is there any alternative quick fix and I hate manual work
    create 2 new folders - connect one of them with the file adapter and the second one remains for archives
    in you normal destination folder for your files add a simple program that will check if there are any files and copy them to those two folders - this could be the fastes but obviously not the best solution I guess

  • Excel files are saved as HTML files

    Hi All,
    I am saving the output files into a shared location in excel or csv format. However when i ask the users/business to have a look into it then they say that the files are opening as html web page and not able to load properly.
    I checked it myself and found it true, all the xls and csv files are saved with .xls and .csv format only but when i try to open it and do as 'save as' then it by default tries to save it as a webpage. Is there any way i can correct this so the file is actually saved as xls only.
    Please suggest
    Thanks
    Ronny

    Hi Gareth,
    I am using BI Publiser to ftp my report to the shared location. This is what it involves
    [1] build the report in BIP
    [2] while scheduling the report in BIP use sftp option to save the output file to the shared location
    this is simple process to export the files to the desired location. Now while doing that ...i choose the output format ( template format) as excel and give the extension of the file as .xls.
    The files does get saved as xls file but then when i try to save that agian to another location by opening it than it, by default , tries to save it as web page ....similarly when i ask business to have a look at the output files and when they open it than it opens as a web page .....wheareas it should be an excel file ..
    Please revert if you require more elaborate explanation
    Thanks

  • Library Bookmarks Import and Backup Backup defaults to saving on desktop instead of folder previously used -- How do I fix this

    When I backup my bookmarks to a JSON file, I always do so to the same folder on my PC but the Save dialog defaults to saving on the desktop instead of to the folder previously used. This is profoundly unintelligent behaviour & extremely irritating, as it means I have to navigate through the folder tree every time I want to make a backup.
    There seems to be no option to specify a backup location, either in the Options dialog or in about:config.
    How can I tell Firefox either to remember the folder previously used or to default to a specified folder, rather than to the desktop?

    I don't think that there is a way to remember the last used location for creating a backup in the Bookmarks Manager (Library)
    Note that Firefox creates an automatic JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder in the Firefox profile folder every day when you start Firefox.

  • Since upgrading to Lion, i am unable to take screen shots.  i get the message that i don't have permission to save files to the place where SSs are saved.  how can i regain the ability to save screen shots?  thanks

    since upgrading to Lion, i am unable to take screen shots.  i get the message that i don't have permission to save files to the place where SSs are saved.  how can i regain the ability to save screen shots?  thanks

    First of all, are you using the OS native screen capture?
    If not, make sure the application you're using has been update for Lion.  I was using Snapz Pro for years, but I need to update it for use with Lion. Meanwhile Grab and the keyboard shortcuts are working on my Lion load.
    If you are using the native capture mode unsuccessfully, I would run the Disk Utility and repair permissions on the drive. For some reason, even in past OS Versions, routine maintenance of permissions makes life a lot easier.

  • Cannot re-save a file into the same folder

    Hi.
    I have a odd issue where users are unable to resave their documents into the folder that they have opened them from.  The folders in question are their home folders to which each user has full permission to access. You cannot save over the original
    file or even to the same folder and changing the filename makes no difference at all.  You can however save to a different folder within the users home folder.  I get an event 300 error/event when trying to save but no other errors other than a confirmation
    box saying the file hasn't saved.
    Has anyone else seen this before/
    Thanks
    Tom

    It seems like a permission issue, can you save new files to the location anyway?
    You can try clean boot to determine whether other programs are conflicting:

  • My deleted files do not go into the Trash Folder

    Deleted emails do not go into the Trash Folder even though my configurations are correct and I have selected Trash Folder for my deleted files. Is something wrong with TB? This just started happening recently.
    Also the auto-fill is not working correctly. When I start to type an email addr in Compose, non-related email addrs appear. I know that TB uses the 'within' range as opposed to 'starts with' but that still does not explain my problem. If I enter 'h' into the To: field, email addresses that do not contain the letter h anywhere (first name, last name, email addr, etc.) appear.
    Please help.

  • Since updating ITunes sofwr some time ago, Used to be able to go to ,"File", "Get Info" and dragdrop my picture into the artwork box,click OK.No longer!Won't save/displayWHY?

    Since updating my Itunes software some time ago, I've not been able to add my own artwork,ie album covers, to my own personal albums.Used to be able to go to "File," "Get Info" and drag/drop my photo into the artwork box, hit save/OK and Voila! No longer and it's Really frustrating. It will let me drag it there but it
    won't save it or display it. (Why they go and break somethin' that was working fine?....just an aside) What must one do now to display their own artwork for albums that are non purchasable online?

    Thanks again. Though I'm not really tech savy, I don't believe this issue has to do with Tags.
    it has everyrhing to do with tags.
    The artwork is stoed in the Artwork tag field.
    Since WAV files do not have tags, there is no where to store the tags.
    If you use iTunes to get artwork for WAV files, it puts themn into the AlbumArt folder adn links it to the correct files via the iTunes library.itl file.
    All other formats (MP3, AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless) have na artwork tag to store the artwork in the media file itself.
    in the past, to add my own personal artwork,
    Not to WAV files. You must have imported them as a different format.

    I had the same problem after I gave my old iPad to my parents and tried to install Netflix. This is what you have to do:  Open iTunes on your computer, the one you sync your iPad to. Then go to iTunes Store and search for and download Netflix app. After you download it, if your iPad is set to download new purchases it may start downloading on your iPad. If so, tap and hold to delete the app (because it is trying to install the new version on the iPad) Next step, go to the App Store on your iPad and find Netflix and it should say install since you already purchased it on the computer. Tap to install, and it will say the version is not compatible, tap to download a previous version. Click that and it will install the older version!    One more thing, if and when you sync to your computer again it will say something like " Unable to install Netflix on your iPad" Just click the box to never remind you again, because it's trying to sync the newer Netflix app to your iPad, but it doesn't work so it displays the message. The old app will remain on the ipad. Hope this helps, good luck

  • Where are these unix executable files coming from and how do I recover the original text file?

    where are these unix executable files coming from and how do I recover the original text file?

    When you upgraded to Lion did you have AppleWorks installed on your mac?
    Most of the AW documents can be opened by Pages 09 or Numbers 09 with most of the orginal format in tact. (I do not know if previouse verision will work) just open the AW file with both and see which one works best.
    Text Edit will also open most of the AW files as well but will require a lot of work to restore them to their orginal format.
    If you have AW Database documents then they are not supported. 
    These document show up as "exec icons", Kind: Unix Executagle File.
    They also will show up as .cwk file if they are small files. I have a couple that were under 1mb that are shown as " Kind: AppleWorks Document" but will not open.
    The only option to open AW database is to have AW installed on a mac with a pre-Lion OS to recover the file.
