Adding a timestamp to a save file location

Hi,
How can I add a timestamp to a save file location in testStand?
My Teststand Sequence calls a VI to grab an image, I tell the VI where to save the image and also name it, I now wish to add a time stamp
to the image, so when I record multiple images the previous one is not overwritten.
Any ideas.
Thanks

Adding Photos to Mac Screen saver files

Hi,
I'd like to add some additional photos to the "Cosmos" screen saver file that came with my MacBook Pro but I can't find this file through Finder in order to add my photos.
Has anyone any idea if it's possible, and if so, how ?
Thanks.

Used to work, as in the past I added a batch of my own stuff to the Cosmos saver. As I recall I also edited some file that was there to list my additions (that might have been in Panther), Didn't see such a file in the Leopard Cosmos saver, so what I did was just rename my own astro photos to the same thing that was already there, then dragged my files into the Resources folder replacing what was there with mine. I just added some more, bringing my total up to "Cosmos18" and it still works fine. You'll probably want to repair permissions from Disk Utility afterwards.

Default save file location ignored for Outlook attachments

Whenever I open an office attachment in Outlook, then edit and try to save, it always goes to "Libraries/Documents". I then have to do numerous clicks to get to my default location for every file.
Is there somewhere to set the default for this. The "default file location" in Excel or Word are ignored.
Thanks, Joe

Try this:
Open the Registry Editor (regedit) and browse to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options
Create a new String value called "DefaultPath" in the right pane, modify the entry to the locate as you want.

Word 2011 save file location

how can i save a word document to a folder on a different computer on my network ?

How do I convert a file located in my e-mail from PDF to Word. I can't seem to save it in my word files.

How do I convert a file located in my e-mail (that is secured) from PDF to Word. I can't seem to save the PDF file anywhere.

Hi williamf,
For starters, please try triple-clicking in the Word document where you want to edit the text (sometimes, that's what it takes to select text in Word). If that doesn't work, I'd be interested in hearing more about the PDF file that you converted and the method that you used to convert it. For example, how was the PDF created (and by what app)? Did you convert via Adobe Reader (what version) or via the ExportPDF website?
If you can tell us more about the file, we should be able to get to the bottom of things.
Best,
Sara

How do I change the pre-filled file location when I choose Save As?

16 September 2013
Using Windows 7 Home Edition and Firefox 24.0
I always want Firefox to offer a location when I download stuff. At the moment it fills the Save As file location with a location I never use and it is the same one every time, and I don't know how to stop this from happening. How can I teach Firefox to fill the Save As location with another file location, for example Desktop?
NB This is absolutely not about setting the default under
Tools/Options/General/Downloads/Save Files To...
although everyone automatically assumes it is.
Background: After using Firefox for a few months on my Windows 7 machine, I then imported old Firefox settings from a VISTA machine.

You may want to reset the prefs file, it should show the last place you saved a page from.

How do you choose a file location when "save as"

When I want to save an attachment from an e-mail I want to "save as and choose the location Within My documents. Having only a choice to put it into documents is not specific enough.
Anyone have any ideas.
(Missing windows already so help for new mac user appreciated)

* Firefox/Tools > Options > General : Downloads : "Save Files to"
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

Printing - Adding the File Location as a Document Footnote

Re: Acrobat 7.0 Standard
Have about 1000 PDF files --- each with a filename that's a specific number, from 1 through 1000 (the number --- aka, the filename --- is the section the document represents... there's 1000 sections in the project)
Simply put, the main directory of files looks like:
c:/Articles/1.pdf
c:/Articles/2.pdf
c:/Articles/3.pdf
...through c:/Articles/1000.pdf
===
Am looking to process the above PDF files using Acrobat --- to print the file's location on my hard-drive as a footnote to the document.
In other words, looking to take the PDF documents that are in "c:/Articles" ...and then, to process them all by adding the file location as a footnote -- and producing footnoted versions at "c:/Articles/Processed"
Thanks a lot.

Do you want the footer to change as you move the files to different directories? If so you can add some JavaScript to each file to the "Will Print" action to add a water mark from text to the bottom of each page with the files location, path or URL. But this solution will only work in Acrobat Standard or better. If you had the Professional version, one could use the "Batch Processing" feature to add the code to each file.
You could also use JavaScript to add a custom menu bar or tool bar item to add the water mark or inset the code on a file by file basis.

How to incorporate File name and timestamp automatically into select and save file dialog box?

Hello,
i am trying to incorporate the file name which is inputed by the user along with the timestamp into the selected and save file dialog box. Can you help?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can pass a default file name to the 'File Dialog' Express VI.
Use the 'selected path' output to open the file.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.

Formscentral save as pdf file location

Not finding the PDF file location in Formscentral when "save as pdf form" is clicked.

How can I get smaller PDF's without having to shell out for Adobe Acrobat Pro?
This may not help or may degrade any images in your document, but try this: Open the PDF file in the Preview application. Invoke File -> Save As, then set "Quartz Filter" to "Reduce File Size", give the file a different name, and save the file.

Quick for timestamp when naming a file in save dialog?

I would like to be able to add a timestamp when naming a file in the save dialog. The reason is that it will give me a quick way to name a file when the rest of the file name I have entered might conflict with a file of the same name.
Is there a quick key combo that would does this?
Thanks.

I found another solution elsewhere.

HT2470 allow user full rights ie save files in any location, change file attributes etc - how, where?

how and where do I give my user full rights ie to save files in any location, change file attributed(from read only ) etc

The simplest way is with the chmod Terminal command.
Warning: unless you know exactly what you are doing, you are almost certain to break something with indiscriminate use of this command. Make sure at least your data files are backed up (& ideally in offline storage) before you experiment with this command, & note that you can mess things up enough that you will have to reinstall the OS to recover.

Can no longer print anything from a website when using FireFox. Have updated FF but no other programs added or changed. Get a message "save file as *.xps"

When I try to print, I get a message to save file as *.xps file, but Mozilla stops responding when I try that. Can still print from other browsers.

Hello there,
My name is Luke and i would be happy to assist you with this issue. The reason you are getting this is because your computer's default printer is set to Microsoft XPS Document Writer. If you go to your computer's printer settings and set your favourite printer as the default one this problem will be fixed. If there are any more questions please feel free to reply to me.
Thank you!

Choosing the location to save files

Can somebody PLEASE tell me a way to get around apples friggin strangle hold over where i can save files in most programs (safari, office { i know i know, infecting my computer with the microsoft virus is stupid but i need it for UNI} and lots of other programs). I click File, Save As, and all i get is a small list of generic places to save stuff... Its Bull! Even windows 3.1 had the ability to save where ever you liked. Come to think of it, even DOS had the ability to. Hopefully someone can tell me how to get around this (if you can) or someone at apple gets embarrassed enough by this STUPID hassle and fixes it.
Thanks in advance.
Leigh

Navigating Apple's file system is a piece of cake; always has been. However, if you have suggestions about how it should be done and wish to embarrass the software engineers try here:
