An option in Preferences to set launch view

Bridge currently reopens on launch to the last view opened prior to Quitting application (even if the last window view was closed prior to quitting). I wish there was an option that would either allow selecting a "persistent" folder to open on launch and/or a "blank" view (similar to what most browsers and asset managers have).

If you create your own shortcut for Bridge, you can specify the start folder. In windows the command would be:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge\Bridge.exe D:\images

    I have CC and while attempting Light Effects, the Light Effects Layer will appear in the layers panel, but the option bar will not appear and neither will the Properties panel. All my preferences are set correct, and my computer has a compatible video card and RAM. Please help!
    I tried to delete the layer attempt again. I am in a Photoshop class, but the work is all online, so all my teacher is going to do is send me to this site. I am trying to edit a photo for this class, and without this working, i go to filter>render>light effects. the bar and panel will pop up for about 2 seconds, then disappear. How do i get the options bar and properties panel to display?

    I was about to suggest resetting LE from the Workspace drop-down top right corner, but if you can't see the Options Bar, I guess that is not going to happen.  The normal Tool reset is grey out for LE, so it might be a case of resetting Preferences.

  • Setting intial view

    Is it possible to script or command the parameters of the view/display settings in the user's reader?
    Specifically, I want set:
    the view resolution in Page Display options;
    the background colour in Full Screen Appearance options;
    the "Fill" Screen option in Full Screen Setup options i.e. I don't want the document to fill the screen in Full Screen mode.
    I don't see this control as being a security issue, but then I've been surprised before. Is there a method for this?
    Thanks in advance.
    SB

    Steve,
    In short, no.
    In Preferences / Full Screen / Full Screen Setup there is the option to select 'Fill screen one page at a time' . If you uncheck this option then the document appears at the size you dictate rather than filling up the screen. The advantage (from a design point of view) is clear. However, one is then left with the issue of controlling the background colour of the user's reader, and the issue of resolution (i.e. system or custom setting) as set in Preferences / Page Display / Resolution.
    All these preferences are set by the reader, not the author i.e. I can't control the readers preferences so I can't present the deisgn as intended. Given the average user's undertsanding of Acrobat preferences (nearly no knowledge at all) I can't rely on the users willingness or ability to set the preferences as required.
    I may be barking up the wrong tree here but I need some guidance on how to acheive this.
    Many thanks

  • Tabbing within my project jumps to browser fields even though preferences are set properly. Any ideas why?

    I am developing material in Captivate 8.  The option under Preferences to "restrict keyboard tabbing to slide items only" is definitely checked, but tabbing still leaves the project screen and moves into browser fields in both preview and published views.  Any ideas why this is happening?

  • Printer properties continue to show HP photo paper, despite Preferences being set for Automatic.

    Yesterday, while attempting to print a Word Perfect 5 document (my word processing app), the printer( HP Office Jet 6500 E709) operated, passed the paper through and made the printing sounds, but no ink was applied to the paper.  I thought perhaps the cartridge had run dry, although I usually get a warning and then can visually see from the finished print job when the ink cartridge is empty.  My PC is running Win XP Professional, and the printer has never been a problem.  I installed a new Black cartridge and successfully printed off a test page.  Still could not print the WP document, or any other document from "my documents" file.  Tried the "copy" function and the printer worked fine.  Still no document printing.  Printed a Yahoo e-mail using the "print" option at the top of the message, and the printer worked fine.  When printing from that icon, I got a pop-up display with a menu option labeled "preferences."  This is the standard routine when printing an e-mail. I clicked on preferences saw that they were set at automatic, portrait, and color.  I changed color to Gray Scale, black ink only, and the page printed properly.  This has always been the routine, whether printing an e-mail of printing a document.  Then I went to my WP document and hit the printer icon on my task bar and got a different pop- up display.  In this display there was no "preferences" option, only a "properties" option.  When I pressed that button I saw a setting that said HP Photo paper, portrait, grayscale high quality.  I changed the paper type[ to "automatic" but cold not change the color option to black ink only.  I closed the menu and attempted to print.  No ink.  I repeated the steps and discovered that the properties had reverted back to HP Photo Paper.  I attempted to print from the File menu and by using Cntrl P.  Neither option worked and the "Pproperties" continued to show HP photo paper, even though I changed it after each failed attempt and the hopper was full of white ink jet paper.  I deinstalled the HP printer and reinstalled it using the original discs.  Since the reinstall, the preferences are set as desired, and remain that way every time I chack them.  I can print a test page, copy and print email.  However, when printing from the print option in File, the task bar printer icon or Cntrl P, the pages continue to be processed but no ink is applied.  The pop-up menu that appears when using any of these commands always contains the term "properties" and those properties always show HP photo paper as the stock being used.  Regaerdless of how many times I correct the paper type, the entry reverts to HP photo paper after each attempt at printing. 

    I have the B8550 too, and I just assumed that since it's a fairly high-end printer, it would support the highest-end HP photo paper (i.e., Premium Plus).  However, the manual states:
    HP Premium and HP Premium Plus photo papers are not supported with this product.
    Now, I don't know if that means you shouldn't use it, or that the advanced features won't work, or ??? Or if you should use it, what settings to use (since that type of paper is not listed in the options on the drop-down menu.)  I have used the Premium Plus Soft Gloss without any problems.  But HP seems to think that the highest quality paper you can use with this printer is "Advanced," which is their third-grade paper.  Not exactly what I'd expect from this type of printer. 

  • Open PDF in same browser when the preference is set to open in new window.

    The corporate policy for all applications is to open the PDF document in new browser/reader but our application needs the reader to open in the same browser even the preference "Display PDF in Browser" is unchecked.... The setPreference from javascript (html) doesn't seemed to work... How do i make this work?
    Also, I need the links the browser to open in new browser once the PDF is loaded... do I need to reset the preference once it is loaded for the links to open in new browser?
    thanks,
    - Ray

    There is no way to override that from your application.   And if the Links in the PDF have an explicit "open in new window" setting, that is respected over the preference.

  • How to set the view privilege of a portlet?

    Dear all,
    I would like to ask how to set the view privilege of a portlet (which is located on the Intranet homepage) to only a group of users?
    As far as I know, I can create a tab with view privilege to address the about scenario. But is it possible to directly set the view privilege to the portlet ?
    thanks

    OK, you got me there George. I don't know where you can set view rights to an out of box portlet. So how about a different approach?
    1) Create a blank page with no nav bar or anything else
    2) Assign the group you want to see the notifications portlet view rights on the page
    3) Make sure the show as portlet check box is checked on the Optional tab in the page properties
    4) Add the notifications portlet to the page
    5) Ensure the portlet settings are how you desire in terms of what notifications to show and the region settings are how they should be in terms of border, headers, etc
    6) Edit the page where you want the notifications portlet to be shown and add the page portlet you just created instead of the notification portlet
    This should achieve what you seek without having to dig into out-of-box portlets.

  • My UI preferences are set to identical settings in Illustrator and InDesign, why don't they look the same?

    My UI preferences are set to identical settings in Illustrator and InDesign ("scale to lower supported scale factor") and AI looks perfect, ID is too big. Why don't they look the same if the settings are the same? Driving me CRAZY. I have my windows scaling factor at 124% and it needs to stay enlarged, otherwise nothing else on my system will be readable. The inconsistency of the workspaces is so annoying.

    Hello billwoodard11,
    Thanks for the question. If your computer is not compatible with HD 1080p content, you should receive a prompt stating so - but should still be able to download the content for use on other devices. For more information, check out this resource:
    Purchasing and viewing HD videos in iTunes - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201850
    How to purchase, download, or view HD 1080p content
    iTunes 10.6 by default is set to purchase, download, and playback HD content in 720p. You must change your local preference setting if you prefer to download, purchase, and playback HD content in 1080p. Depending on your computer's hardware configurations, you may be unable to purchase, rent, or playback content in 1080p. iTunes may display the following dialog:
    On Mac or PC
    Download the latest version of iTunes. You can download iTunes for free.
    From the iTunes menu, choose iTunes > Preferences > Store (for PC, choose Edit > Preferences > Store).
    Next to "When downloading High Definition videos, prefer:" set your preference to 1080p1.
    Click OK. Now, when you purchase or download HD content, your computer will always download in 1080p, when available.
    Depending on your computer's hardware limitations, you may be unable to purchase, rent, or view HD content from the iTunes Store. If you are trying to view HD video on an external display, the display must have a digital connection (DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI) and support HDCP.

  • Java apps won't run, Java preferences won't launch

    Since the flurry of 2012 updates, Java is completely broken on my Mac Pro.  Java dependent apps don't start and Apple Support says to enable the apps in Java Preferences.
    Nice idea, but Java Preferences WILL NOT LAUNCH either.
    There were plenty of tools to address flashback and they DID NOT break normal day to day operations. 
    I downloaded the package from support to try a reinstallation, but it says "A newer version of Java is already installed" and offers me the option to Close.  No reinstall, nothing.
    Apple support is at it's usual level of service on this issue, completely INVISIBLE.
    What has happened to the Apple I used to know?  If any of the smart folks on this forum have a working solution, please share.  Deleting preferences doesn't do squat btw.
    Thank you.

    *Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
    *Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar

  • Macbook turns off even when energy saver preferences are set to stay on

    Hi all,
    I would consider myself fairly experienced with OS X now but this has really got me. I am trying to leave my Mac on during the night, so I made sure that the energy saver preferences are set so that:
    Computer sleep: Never
    Display Sleep: Never
    Put the hard disks to sleep when possible: Not ticked
    Wake for network access: Not ticked
    Automatically reduce....: Not ticked
    Start up automatically: Not ticked
    So as you can see it should have no reason not to stay on over night. Also I am using the power adapter.
    Please if anyone could help it would be really appreciated. Thanks

    So, what if anything is set under the "schedule" option in energy saver (which is the only energy saver option normally likely to actually shut it down, rather than send it to sleep, but not mentioned in your post)?
    Does the shut down occur at a set time or erratically? (Check your logs to find out, if you haven't been awake when the shutdown occurs). You should also be able to tell from the logs whether it is a controlled shut down or a "crash"
    Cheers

  • How to set the view, which has to be shown at runtime?

    Hi,
    in my application i have more than one view, but at runtime only one of these views has to be shown. I want to decide this via a parameter that I get from the url.
    How can i set the right view to be showing at runtime?
    I tried it with a StartView which fires the right Outbound Plug in his wdDoInit-Method. This is working fine, but the problem is, that the method OnPlugDefault() of ComponentInterfaceViewController isn't called already at this time. So in the Init-Method of the StartView I don't have the given URL Parameter, so I can't decide which Plug I want to fire. The method OnPlugDefault() is called only after the init-method of the StartView.
    Is there any other possibilty to set the view, which has to be shown, at runtime?
    Thanks and Best Regards
    Katharina

    Hi,
    One way is you can pass the parameter in the URL , read the parameter and then fire the outbound plug depending upon that.
    You can read the parameters as follows
    HttpServletRequest request =Task.getCurrentTask()
         .getWebContextAdapter()
         .getHttpServletRequest();
    String[] param1 = request.getParameterValues("<<PARAMETRNAME");
    if(param1.equals("VALUE"))
      fire outbound plug1;
