Change default choose file folder

When I need to select a file or files from my computer, is there any way to modify the default select from location? Example, Uploading a picture on Facebook.

I think it's using the latest folder you did download to. At least it did when I tested on both FB and G+.
You can change that folder by downloading something.

Change default pdf file name

Hi,all
How can I change a default pdf file name from unknown.pdf to something else?
Regards,
Michael
Edited by: Michael Beilin on Feb 6, 2008 9:47 AM

HI Michael,
Yes you can do that,
Just do something like
     IWDAttributeInfo attInfo = wdContext.currentContextElement().node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("PdfSource");
     ISimpleTypeModifiable type = attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
     IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) type;
     binaryType.setFileName("TravelRequest.pdf"); // Set file name
     binaryType.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF); // set the mime type
for example in the doInit() before providing the file for download

To change default backup file permission for dsconf

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible and ADVISABLE to change the default backup file permission for dsconf util. We're having two OS users, once which runs the script, and other which runs the dsconf. We're not allowed to schedule crontab from the second user profile. Hence, the user which runs the script will not be able to purge the old backup files as part of the backup process.

Any thoughts if anyone has come across such issue.
Thanks, JPrince

So if I understand correctly, there is one user which creates the backups, and can run cron scripts. A second user runs some script on the backup, but doesn't have permissions to remove the backup once the script finishes.
Changing the permissions on the file itself is not enough, you have to have write permission on the directory which contains it as well. This doesn't sound (to me) like something you really want to do.
What I would suggest thinking about is having directory or file somewhere that both users can read/write.
When the script finishes processing, write the name of the backup into that file (or create an empty file in the directory with the same name as the backup).
Run a cron script from the first user (the one that creates the backups) which checks for names of processed files. If it finds any, it removes those backups, and the names from the file/directory.

Is there a way to change a single file/folder's icon size?

Is there a way to change a single file or folders icon size independant of the rest? So say, you want the HD's on the desktop to be larger than the other files icon sizes?
I know about view options but thats not quite what I'm looking for.
Is there a way to do this through terminal, or an aftermarket program?

Given up on the option

Mistakenly changed default of library folder via finder...

Couldn't think of better name for topic....
While looking for where .icc files are kept on my new macbook pro late 2013 which I love but must learn (searched and found supposed path for HP while I have a Canon) used Finder and from "home" folder used "change view" to show hidden library folder after all done i instead of clicking close button to close the window I mistakenly hit "use as default" on bottom of that window which allows you to make changes to folder view.
Is it system wide what I changed (the view of that folder)? Or since I was on "Home" folder in Finder would it only effect "Home" folder?
Know Windows 7 inside and out but learning on Macbook/Maverick 10.9.1 has been slow at best (as 6 days a week I am on BootCamp side using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit for use of software that hasn't updated yet for latest maverick.... yes I am looking at you General Motors) I searched and couldn't find a way to undo my actions. I prefer the Library folder hidden. As I can easily unhide it when needed. Once I learn the Mac folder heirchy I can set it up as I do Windows.
As a side note only found generic icc files for printer.
Normally with the drivers on Canon Pixma 7220 wireless the driver installation gives you ability to choose Canon papers which I use exclusively.
I may have to install a piece of Canon toy software I don't need in hopes on the mac installation it will be like windows in its installation of the paper profiles. My searches from both the community and google gave me dead ends. I need the profiles otherwise the prints won't match. I don't use photoshop/lightroom I am a Nikon user who loves Capture NX2 and ViewNX2 combination to work my .nef files. But even with jpegs the standard airprint dialogue boxes/windows doesn't give me choices of paper just ink levels, etc.. Nor does iPhoto which was first place i looked for that.
Thank you for any and all help in advance.

Changing default open file location

Hi all,
In Outlook 2010, is there anyway to change the default folder that is opened by explorer when you want to open any pst files?
I have tried the registry changes listed in other forums but this only changes the default save location. I have managed to change the default open location for Word, Excel etc but not Outlook.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
Do you mean you want to change the default location when you click File > Open > Open Outlook Data File?
We can achieve this goal by modifying the registry, I managed to do this in my environment. Please follow the steps below:
Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. For added protection,
back up the registry before you modify it.
Locate the registry path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook
Add the ForcePSTPath registry value:
Value name: ForcePSTPath
Value type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
Value: path to your storage folder
Restart your Outlook to check the result.

Change default save file type to gif

I've seen people submit some solutions but it requires changing codes of the files.... is there a simpler way to do it? I don't understand why it's saving as a jpg file... the older versions used gif as the default for save as web...

That is odd. What version of Ps are you using? Both CS6 and CC 2014 hold the last used format (GIF) for me.. First, try holding Alt (Win) or Opt (Mac) with Save For Web open - the "cancel" will become a "reset" button. Now try again. Also, when you press Alt/Opt you should see the "done" will become a "remember."

Version Cue CS3 Change Default Local File Location

Hi All
I've done a bit of searching around and can't find an answer to this.
We have a bit of a Hybrid network which involves roaming profiles / TS profiles and all manner of stuff I have not yet found. The upshot of this is that profile size affects all manner of things.
Vesion Cue CS3 places local files into your user folders (and thereore your profile) by default.
Is there a way to change the default location of these files? I dont need them on a network share, the local disc is fine but just not in 'my documents'.
I am aware I can do it on a project by project basis, but as I deal in hundreds of projects this is impractical. That is to say I need to have the local files end up in the right place when I first sync.
Thanks Very Much for your help
Colin

I'm sorry Curt,
I don't understand your point.
CS3 does, in fact have Version Cue, and does put files in certain places. So I don't follow what you are getting at.

Change default upload file destination?

When I upload photo files from a camera card, LR automatically comes up with a default file location under "My Pictures" (Windows XP). I file all my photos on an E: drive and it takes a bunch of mouse clicks to get there. Is there any way to change the LR default destination drive?

This may be OS related. On my Mac OS X 10.4.9, the "sticky" setting is saved between sessions. I just looked.
Now, I wasn't importing from a card. Just deleting and re-importing from a hard drive. But my experience as near as I can recall is that the changed setting for destination is "remembered" from one import to another.

How to change location of files (folder structure to storing in iPhoto lib)

I need help.
I thought I was smart, but as is always the case, I find out that I am not
I did not trust iPhoto at first. So I retained my images in my 8 years of folder structure (by year and then subfolders of months).
My lib is getting large, 7000 plus images, and when importing images (I do not have the setting for imported images to be stored to iPhoto Lib) and wanting to delete some, I find it more work than is necessary.
Bottom line: Can someone tell me if there is a way to change the setting (of course there is) but also to reimport, or move, my images that are already in iPhoto (but are really just previews referencing to my folder structure) so that they will reside in the iPhoto Lib?
When I import it finds duplicates...if I say do not import then it does not go any further...but if I say "yes, import duplicates" then it brings them in as duplicates...which means I have two copies, but only one retains all of the keywords etc.
Another bottom line: I want to retain my keywords in my current library, but move all images into the iPhoto lib instead of my folder structure. I can do this from this date forward, but I want to get the entire lib to be this way.
Help?

Change default save files directory

I'm trying to switch where files are saved on my computer but Firefox just ignores the new directory and keeps saving in the same place instead of what's set in options/downloads/savefilesto. How can I make it so that my downloads go in a specific folder?

ccau, You wrote, <br> ''I set the download location to e.g. 'e:\temp\' (or anywhere else with at least one non-root path component), the location is honored. If I use e.g. 'd:\', 'e:\' etc, it is ignored.''
Mozilla developers are working on the bug introduced in Firefox 27 that prevents selecting a "root" directory as the download folder (you can vote for the bug to keep track of the progress)
*[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=958899 Bug 958899] - Under Windows, cannot use a root directory as the destination for downloading

Outlook 2011 - I can change default folder?

How i can change default open folder in Outlook 2011 (update 14.1.3)?
And how i can change default incoming mail folder (POP account)?

Here is what worked for me.
changing the default application server.
1) Verify that JSC2 is creating a WAR file in the project's dist directory.
2) Download the Sun Java System Application Server 8.1
3) Install the application server on another computer. E.g. 192.168.1.110
I changed the default port from 8080 to 80 because I wanted to port forward.
Don't know if this is required.
4) Start the server! Browse to 192.168.1.110:80 and verify the server started.
5) Run the admin console (192.168.1.110:4848) and manually deploy the WAR file
If you can't do this, it wont go.
Your browser might appear to get stuck. Wait for it to finish! Check your logs for errors.
If you get stuck, doublecheck that the server directory isn't write-protected.
Test with a browser 192.168.1.110:80/ProjectName
6) Tell JSC2 about the new server
Servers Tab -> Remote Servers -> rightclick -> Add Remote Server...
Select the right kind of server (Sun Java System Application Server 8.1)
Admin Host: 192.168.1.110
Admin Port: 4848
Username: admin or whatever
Password: shhhhh!
7) Configure JSC2 to deploy the project to a different server during testing.
Projects Tab -> Right-click the project -> Properties -> Run -> select the new server.
8) Click the little green triangle and it should deploy and start a browser to test.
Trouble-shooting:
- Problems will occur if you attempt to do things to fast. Don't cancel out of operations.
- Don't modify any of you build.xml files
- Don't compress the war file
- Restart everything if you hit a problem
- Don't ask me, I don't know anything about it. I just fiddled with it till it worked.
- Turn off Netlimiter! (or any other bandwidth manager)
- Turn off Antivirus monitoring software (stuff runs faster - security rish though)

You are attempting to download the picture to your computer not uploading photo to the website if I am understanding you correctly.
To change the download direction, you must do so through your browser's Preferences. If you are using Safari, hopefully, someone who uses Safari will help you and/or post over in their forums. I do not use Safari.

Changing mouse click default to "open" (file/folder)

My logitech mouse button1 defaults to "search" instead of "open' when I left click. i don't want to have to rt click first, then select "open". I want mouse default to be "open". any suggestions?

Hi,
I have just had the same problem, but fixed it!
All I did was go to any folder, Tools, Folder Options, File Types and find "File Folder" in the list
Then go to Advanced and select New
Add one for Action - Open and add an application of Explorer.exe
This sorted it!
Hope this helps you
