Can I change the default location for File, Open?

When I click on File, Open in CS2 (it came with the computer) Pictures is always the Library that opens. Can this be changed? I have created a Library called Photography. That is where I download and store my photographs and where I work on them.

As an alternative to futzing with Photoshop's File - Open dialog, you could try to change your workflow a bit and browse to your photo folders with Bridge or Explorer, then dragging photos to a Photoshop shortcut (icon on desktop).  You can, of course, set up Windows Explorer shortcuts to open to anywhere you want.
Going one further, I suggest against using the Windows "Libraries" feature entirely - it's just an abstraction, and it's always been a bit buggy.  Just create folders on your hard drive to work from instead.  Everything works better done that way.

  • How can I change the default location of files?

    I have just changed the location of "My documents" in Windows to point to a separate drive (in fact "e:\mydocs"). Now Flex Builder 3 can't see my projects. If I import them it wants to copy them back to "c:\documents and settings\administrator\Flex Builder 3". So I have 2 questions - firstly is it possible to alter something so that it sees my projects in the right place automatically. Secondly how can I change the default location?
    Thanks

    sorry folks, just found the answer - File-Switch Workspace

  • I would like to change the default location  TextEdit file opens at.

    I would like a TextEdit file to open on the right hand side of my desktop while keeping my dock on the left side. It always opens next to the dock.
    Is there a terminal command or any other way to change the default spot TextEdit opens?
    Thanks,
    David

    Thomas,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I had read somewhere that TextEdit opened next to the dock, but I just tried moving the dock and TextEdit still opened on the left.
    If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate hearing them. I have to move this file every time I open it.
    Thanks,

  • How do I change the default location for iPhoto media?

    On my MacBook Pro, I have a 250 GB solid state drive. More than 140 GB of that space is taken up by images and video in my iPhoto folder. I want to purchase an external hard drive to store my iPhoto media so I can free up space on my Mac's hard drive. I can drag and copy the images/video to the new external hard drive, but in the future how can I change the default location to the new external device? I looked at iPhoto preferences, but see no setting that would re-direct media from my camera. Please help.

    Copy the library to the external hard drive.  Then launch iPhoto with the option key held down and choose the library on the external hard drive.
    Run the external library to make sure it has all of your photos and works as expected.  It will not be your default library. 
    Once you're sure the external library is good you can delete the library on the SSD.

  • How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from email?

    How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from emails I receive?  It shows the default as Photoshop Elements 4.0 and is not supported by this system.  That was my last computer!!
    Thanks,
    Sheila

    That has nothing to do with styles nor Pages, it is a System/Printer Driver setting.
    You can experiment to see if the Printer Settings stick with your document, but in the past this has not worked.

  • How do I set the default folder for file - open file... ?

    When I save a file, photo, etc., the default folder for OPENING a file becomes the last folder I SAVED to - even after closing and reopening Firefox. Is there a way to maintain the same default folder for opening files?
    Thanks.

  • How do I change the default locations for the iTunes music and iPhone back-up folders?

    My computer's hard drive is partitioned, with one partition having all of the Windows system files, and the other having all of my documents, music, videos, etc.  When I installed iTunes, it automatically created its music and iPhone folders on the Windows partition.  I've been able to change the default save folders for other programs to the second partition, but I'm having troubles finding this option in iTunes (I even went back and re-installed it to see if I could find it that way, but no dice).  Is there a way to change the default folders for the iTunes library and iPhone files?  It takes up A LOT of space on my Windows partition, so it would be very great to get that moved over.
    Thanks!

    You can't selectively move individual folders withing the iTunes  folder, but you can move the entire folder to, say, an external dive. To delink the iTunes application to the new library location:
    Open iTunes while holding down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows).
    In the resulting dialog, click the Choose Library button.
    Select the iTunes folder you moved to the external hard drive.
    Click Choose (Mac OS X) or Open (Windows) and then choose the iTunes Library file inside .

  • How can I change the default page for a book?

    I have a book that contains six pages. One of the pages contains the login portlet while the others contain account specific information that a user can only see if they are logged in. Currently, I have the default page set to the login page.
    I am attempting to write a backing file for the book that will esentially change the default page for the book to be one of the other pages if the user is already logged in. In effect showing a logged in user their account summary page instead of the login portlet.
    I can't seem to find a way to change what page the user is shown with the book and page context classes. I can hide the login page, but this leaves the user looking at a blank page. Unfortunately I can't use entitlements, otherwise this would be easy.
    Does anyone know how to "forward" to another page from a backing file?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Got it!
    In your backing file you'll need the following in your handlePostbackData method:
    BookBackingContext bookCtx = BookBackingContext.getBookBackingContext(arg0);
    bookCtx.setupPageChangeEvent("PageLabel");

  • How can I change the default application for a content type?

    Running a version of Linux, the default application for PDF files is "Use Document Viewer (default)", which appears to be /usr/bin/evince. I'd much prefer to use /usr/bin/okular; how can I change the default. This question is NOT about how to change the function that is automatically applied when I access a link, in this case "Preview in Firefox", but rather to the default application that I can select when I download a file being viewed in Firefox's previewer.

    This is real progress, a solution to the problem as posted. The command:
    xdg-mime default okularApplication_pdf.desktop application/pdf
    makes okular the default.
    However when I added okular to the choices for applications in:
    * Edit>Preferences>Applications>PDF
    the popup box that appears when I click Download on the preview page changed. The pulldown menu that appears next to "Open with" used to have 3 entries:
    # Document Viewer (default)
    # Acroread
    # Other
    Now it has only 2:
    # Okular (Default)
    # Other
    I'd like it to read
    # Okular (Default)
    # Acroread
    # Other
    How can I control the entries in this pulldown list?
    Also, how can I make the default choice in the popup box be
    * Open With <whatever> , rather than
    * Save File ?

  • Can I change the default settings for InfoView?

    Hi,
    I have a Crystal Reports Server 2008 running. The users access their reports via the InfoView web application.
    In this application each user can configure some settings, like whether to use the Acrobat Reader or an ActiveX control for printing. Due to the fact that most users are not experts, is it possible to change the default values for all users by administration?
    Regards
    Joern

    2. Extract the files and rename logon.jsp to setpref.jsp
    3. Copy the downloaded jsp files to your root Infoview webapp folder (where the wars deployed to). We use the default - Tomcat. The Infoview webapp is deployed to C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewApp\ If this is you, copy to here.
    4. From your browser launch http://crystalreportshost:8080/InfoViewApp/setpref.jsp (your infoview link) and follow the instructions!

  • Changing the Default Location for Backups

    I've just downloaded PC Suite 6.81.13.0. How do I change the default location where backups are stored on my laptop? The default location stores the data in an location that is not compatible with my company network profile. I want to store the data in a different location, but I can't see any option to allow me specificy the location.

    You have to re-index your Library by dragging/dropping the main Library folder into the Loop browser.

  • How do I change the default location for mail files?

    I want to move my mail folders from /Library/Mail and /Library/Mail Downloads folders to a different drive. How can I do this? I know how to move them - I want to know how I make mail aware of where I have put them). I have an encrypted SSD I want to use.
    I know I can encrypt the main drive but I don't want to do this.

    Changing the default downloads folder is helpful. Solves part of the problem. I have PGP installed and it decrypts the emails as they come in and place them in my inbox as unencrypted so the emails themselves need to remain encrypted on the disk. I tried using alias's but couldn't get it to work.
    I would just encrypt the whole disk but I am worried that I get other problems. I have had 8 Macbook Pro laptops in about 6 years and in that time only one has lasted 12 months plus without a replacement or repair. I don't think much of apples reliability or support for that matter, so rely heavily on disk clones to make sure I can keep working. The hardware is so rubbish I now keep a spare macbook for when my main one needs repaired. In fact I am running off my cloned disk just now because my brand new MBP 17" is in for repair for the 3rd time in 5 months. If the software wasn't so good I would swap back to that other operating system.

  • How can I change the default "Print to File" location from the Mozilla Firefox directory?

    I have looked all over the Internet to find the solution to change the default of the location Firefox create the files created from the Print to File option. I have modified all of the instances of "print_to_filename" as one forum suggested. But, that was unsuccessful.

    Autre façon : Ouvre un nouveau document. Il va être en A4. Dans le menu Fichier--->Format d'impression. Une fenêtre apparaît. Dans la ligne... Taille du papier, tu choisis... Lettre US; tu fais OK. Ensuite tu sauves ce document comme modèle. Menu Fichier----> Enregistrer comme modèle et tu lui donnes le nom, par exemple... USLettre.
    Ensuite, va dans le menu Pages, va dans préférences et dans la fenêtre qui s'ouvre - Préférences générales - tu choisis : Utiliser le modèle... et tu cliques sur Choisir... à droite un peu en bas de Utiliser le.... et là, dans la fenêtre qui va apparaître, tu trouves le modèle que tu viens de faire...USLettre.
    Voilà. Chaque fois que tu vas ouvrir Pages, ce sera USLettre qui sera là par défaut.
    J'espère que ça va te satisfaire.
    Évidemment l'idéal serait de pouvoir changer la template Vierge par une template Vierge US... mais j'ai pas encore réussi.

  • How can I change the default location ipad/iphone pictures are stored in on my desktop?

    So here's my dilemma.  I have lightroom mobile on my ipad and iphone.  Seamlessly, lightroom mobile pushes these images to my desktop and saves them in a folder in windows.  I use an SSD and would prefer not doing read/writes to it that are unnecessary.  What makes the default location problematic is that I can't seem to change it.  Further, when I sync my ipad/iphone to my windows desktop using a cable, I will now have duplicates of images that were synced via lightroom mobile.  So, it would be infinitely simpler, I think, if lightroom mobile would sync ipad/iphone images to a directory I specify, on a supplemental hard drive for instance, and using dates for folder names rather than some default directory on my main drive where they are just dumped.

    Currently, Lightroom saves the images in a directory structure under a folder named "Mobile Downloads.lrdata", which is created in the same folder as the catalog file.
    For example, an image will be saved as:
    Windows = C:\Users\<username>\Pictures\Lightroom\Mobile Downloads.lrdata\<random hexadecimal name>\picture1.jpg
    Mac = Users/<username>/Pictures/Lightroom/Mobile Downloads.lrdata/<random hexadecimal name>/picture1.jpg
    you want to change the location of this "Mobile Downloads.lrdata" to another path.
    You should file an Idea, AKA Feature Request, to the Feedback site:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
    If there is enough people voting for it, the Product Managers will evaluate it and eventually apply it to a future version.
    It's your interest to advertise the Idea in order to increase the number of votes (I would vote for it).
    There is another similar discussion in the forum (How do i change the location of 'Mobile Downloads.lrdata' ?), I am posting the same answer there.
