Can I make the finder open my most recently used folder when opening a new window?

Hello Community!
When I open a new finder window I would like it to open the folder I worked in last (i.e. the one I saved sth to or opened sth from). I know I can go over "Go to" but is there a way to adjust the settings so that it opens automatically?
Thanks in advance!

none than I know of.
Of course, you could always make an Apple Script as an app (that you could place next to the finder icon on the dock for ex) that would do it, but that would require programming skills.

Will Not Open To Most Recently Used Folder

I figured out how to save in the same file, but PS still opens some default folder beginning with "THIS PC", instead of the most recently used folder. It should open to the most recently used folder. How do I set that?

Can application know the location of its most recent cached *jnlp* file?

Can an application know if it was launched by clicking on the hyperlink in a web page, or whether it was launched from the shortcut on the desktop?
Alternatively, Can the application know the location of its most recent cached jnlp file on the desktop?
To take a specific example, let's say I have a word processor, My Word that is deployed using Web Start. It can view documents on the web and must also work offline to view local documents.
When a user clicks the hyperlink to the doc, say,
myParty Open the myParty document
then myParty.jnlp launches My Word, opening the myParty.txt file.
Since there is no way to pass arguments dynamically, one must have a jnlp file for each doc.
So myParty.jnlp has the url of the doc hardcoded in it.
<application-desc main-class="MyWord">
<argument>http://www.MySite.com/myParty.doc</argument>
</application-desc>
The problem is that apparently Web Start uses the most recent jnlp each time it is launched.
So that if the file has moved, or if one is offline, then the application hangs because it is trying to open the same document, regardless of whether MyWord was launched by clicking on the hyperlink in a web page - in which case this would be appropriate - or whether it was launched from the shortcut on the desktop - inappropriate here.
As a workaround, I was wondering - where is the jnlp file stored on the local desktop?
If the application could find the most recent jnlp, then it could rewrite it (after it was opened the first time) with an identical jnlp that has no application-desc arguments.
Then when the user runs from the shortcut on the desktop, it will launch without a document to open.
Any help appreciated.
thanks,

1) To make it more complicated, it seems that the browser also does the caching.
2) I could not find the jnlp as a file on the desktop, so I suspect that is stored in some database. Is there any way the application can write to it or any api to simply allow the application to change the arguments?
3) It is not an option to use jnlpservlet as the document can be placed anywhere and not just on a webserver under our control.

Can I set Safari to open a new window when I click on it in the dock?

is there a way to set my safari to open a new window when i click on it in the dock i surf multiple websites at once and i dont like how i have to right clik and scroll up to pick open a new window. can i set it to just open a new window instead of opening the page that already opened

yeah, instead of using multiple windows, you can use multiple tabs inside one window. That way, you can browse multiple websites at once without having to flick back and forth between multiple windows.
To open tabs of the websites you want to browse, just right-hand click on whatever website you want to visit (For example a site from your bookmarks or a site from a Google search result) and select 'open link in tab'.

Finder opens a new window with tabs in the last closed window loaded automatically

As the title says, I've found this happens more than a few times for some change. Maybe every time, I didn't count. Say, I closed a window with 3 tabs opened, then next time when I click finder to open a new window, I will find the 3 tabs loaded in the new window automatically. I am wondering if it is a new feature or bug. If it is not right, would anyone give me some suggestion to correct, if possible? Thanks.

Yup. I think bring convenience or not is supposed to be the fundamental difference bugs and features.
Convenience also comes with users' habit. I am sure I will get used to the new way as time goes by.

How do you make a button open a new window?

How can i make QuickTime movie open a browser window?

like title says, how can i accomplish this when i create/edit the QT movie?
thanks!

You set the "href" link or use the target=your URL in your page code.
Quicktime 7 can also be used to set some movie proprieties to open the file in a new Player window.
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
One of my files that uses the QuickTime Player app.
If you wish to include a "link" inside your file to automatically open a new Web page when a certain frame of your movie is played you need to include a HREFTrack.
This feature is currently "broken" in the Windows version of QT 7.
Older versions still incorporate the href track properly/

Firefox just updated to V21 now I can't right click to "open in new window" only "new tab" or "new PRIVATE window"

Because I'm a bit of a dinosaur I don't use tabs, preferring to use new windows instead. Since the upgrade to V21, when I right click I don't get offered the option to open in a new window, only a new tab or a "private" window. How do I get back to choosing "non-private" windows ?

That is how it works. Current Firefox version make you close and restart Firefox after toggling the History setting that changes Private Browsing mode.
In permanent mode you can only open new PB mode windows.
Future Firefox versions will support Private Browsing per tab, this is already available as an extension.
*Private Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/private-tab/
The Firefox menu button gets purple or you get a purple PB mask on the menu bar or tab bar (Linux) if you are in a PB tab and all Private Browsing mode tabs get a dashed underlining unless you are in permanent PB mode.

Make your links open in new windows

And before I forget... This was another thing I remembered during my internet outage...
If anyone knows where the JavaScript is stored or generated for the pages, technically you could insert a small script in there that would allow you to then specify URLs for your hyperlinks that generate new windows.
This is one way to write the script:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
As long as that script is either in the JavaScript file for your page(s), then you can use the following as a way to specify a URL for a hyperlink that pops-up in its own window:
javascript:open_window('http://www.website.com/');
Hopefully someone else has found where the JS files are generated or stored because if we can alter THAT information, then we have a far greater arena of functionality that we could open.

iWeb generate a JS file for an associated HTML file and put it in the page_files folder (e.g Welcome.html has Welcome.js in Welcome_files folder).
The JS files can be pretty ugly as they are, so editing or adding something else to them is a last resort (as I did in the Photos.js files for slideshow).
The alternative is add another JS file, but that requires editing the HTML file (adding the script tag inside head tag).
In the end we almost have to edit the HTML no matter what.
<!--<br>function open_window(url) ....
BTW, that is pretty much how slideshow pop open a window. But there is no way to insert javascript functions with iWeb's Inspector.

How do i make a button open a new window...

Hi,
I'm making some very basic login software and i want the program to open up a new window when the "Login" button is pressed and then display a message saying whether the login was successful or not.
Any help would be appreciated but i would love some code to help me see how to do it and help me on my way.
Cheers.

what do you exactly need, the "how to create and display a frame"? I bet your program already has a frame, so I suspect you know how to do that. Well, just do it again.
Note: if its just a plain message you wish to display to the user, the easiest way will be by using javax.swing.JOptionPane, look for the showXxxx methods.
If the question was more "how do I know when my button get pressed", take a look at that other question: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=156406

Make iweb hyperlinks open in new window?

i have tried massreplaceit, using rowan cottage's how-to...this didn't work...and i REALLY want my hyperlinks to open in a new window-does any have any suggestions on how they made this work?

I could be mistaken because my HTMl is at the newbie stage but I think the target="_blank" needs to look like the following except that I left off the opening and closing anchor tags that must be included:
a href="http://www.apple.com" target="_blank">apple
apple
It is placed after the website address ...apple.com" target="_blank"... not before.

I hace a comcast e-mail account and when I click a "contact us" link on a web site a pop-up asks me to choose an application but when I choose firefox nothing happens How can I make the links open my Comast e-mail?

"Contact us" links on web sites open a box that says "This link needs to be opened with an application. Send to:" My only e-mail account is through my Comcast.net account but Comcast is not an option. When I choose Firefox, which is an option, a new blank window opens but I have no idea how to generate an outgoing e-mail message. This is very frustrating because I cannot seem to find any help with this issue and i seem to be precluded from e-mailing numerous organizations because of this. I do not want to create a new gmail or other type of e-mail account if I can help it. I already have enough accounts and passwords to try and keep a handle on.

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Changing+the+e-mail+program+used+by+Firefox
Comcast online email is considered '''web mail''' so you need to scroll down that support page to the web mail section.

How can I make the Finder on my MacBook Pro recognize my iPad as a device?

I need to transfer images from my iPad to my MacBook Pro while preserving "file created" date and time information. Trying to do this using iPhoto has not been working for Vertical *****, since the program auto-rotates the images and marks them as created at the time they are imported. I would prefer to copy the images directly from the iPad to the MacBook Pro, but the iPad is not recognized as a device by the laptop's Finder, even though iTunes and iPhoto detect it. Any advice?

This is very frustrating... I did not capitalize the first letter of "vertical" and did not use any inappropriate words. This forum should provide a way to preview and edit posts. I believe I conveyed my question adequately and appreciate any feedback despite any possible distractions...

How can i make the browser open websites quicker

Websites tend to take longer to open up. With IE8, the same site opens up immediately

I'm guessing the type="application/unknown" is interfering. Try type="text/plain".
