Change default file- open

How do you change the initial path that file->open looks in? I cannot seem to change this to a folder that is predefined to hold *.sql files.
Sql Developer 2.1 I am using.

Can't be done, but sqldev should remember previously used paths and make easily accessible buttons for them in the left margin. Setting Preferences - Database - Worksheet - Select default path to look for scripts can also help.
Regards,
K.

How to change default to open attachments

How do I change the default that opens attachments? For me it's Textedit which is fine but for my wife who has her own profile on same computer it's AbiWord for some reason, and it's terrifically slow. I have looked in Help, Missing Manual, etc but no luck, I'm sure I did know the answer at one stage.
Thanks,
Michael

Select one of the affected files then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select the desired application from the drop down menu, then click on the Change All button. This will cause all similar files to be opened by the selected application.
An alternative or rather an extension to the above is to download the freeware RCDefaultApp preference pane and install it. It will let you set defaults for just about everything. A very handy bit of software.

Change default file manager in linux

After upgrading to Firefox 10.0 for Linux "Open containing folder" in downloads opens in nautilus and not my default file manager.
I'm not finding how to change this behavior.

File associations are a mess right now. Many programs (Opera included) handle them their own way. There's a project underway to handle associations in a standard way (see MIME actions, shared MIME info, desktop entries, all at freedesktop.org), but not all software uses it; KDE is a notable holdout (3 at least, not sure about 4).
Note that that first spec link, MIME actions, is currently "in the requirements-gathering / early-planning stages." That means there is no spec for that. As I said, a mess.
Most likely, Opera and Thunderbird detected you were running KDE and special-cased their association-finder to ask KDE instead. Now that you aren't, they're falling back to their normal behavior: use the first .desktop file to claim the MIME type. As I recall, both applications offer ways to specify associations in their preferences; you might just want to stick to that for now. Or use a desktop environment.
The kernel-level MIME support is designed to allow execution of strange files using interpreters. For example, you could directly execute Windows applications (as in "./notepad.exe") by setting the kernel to "interpret" application/exe files using wine. No applications use it for opening files.

How do I change default to open images?

When I try to open psd files from bridge I have photoshop cs5 as a default. cs5 has been uninstalled. I have photoshop cc2014, but cannot open psd files from bridge into cc. My raw files open fine.

Hi Larry,
Please open Bridge. If you are using Windows Click on Edit>Preferences and navigate to file type Associations.
For Mac: Click on Bridge>preferences
Look for Photoshop Documents(.psd) and change it to Photoshop CC and then try.
Thanks

Using lens correction in CS5 changes default file settings

When I use lens correction in CS5, it switches the default file format from jpg to pdf.
Now, that is simple enough to change back for a file or two, but it really messes up any worf flow. Batch processing using an action cannot include a simple "save" because due to the change in format it goes to "save as" and then every file would get named as the first one. If I just choose save and close in the batch options, the dialog to change file types opens after every file and it becomes a hassle. Is there a way to deal with this in a better way? Or is this just a matter of the trial version of CS5?

Hi Joel,
Are you talking about the lens correction batch script as invoked from the File>Automate>Lens Correction...? Can you describe your steps to reproduce the bug?
Thanks,
-Simon

Making InDesign CS5.5 default file opener?

Hi there,
I have InDesign CS5.5 installed on my PC (Windows 7). Yesterday I installed Adobe Creative Suite 3 to add Photoshop CS3 as Photoshop Elements 9 doesn't do CMYK. Now all my InDesign documents are attempting to open automatically in InDesign CS3 (which is part of the old Suite bundle).
How do I change settings (I tried associating file type with program, no joy) so that InDesign files open in CS5.5 by default?
Thanks
Jamie

Try reassociating the INDD files with CS5.5 by right clicking an INDD file and choosing open with. Browse to the EXE for InDesign CS5.5. This may or may not work.
Installing out of order is not a very good idea. You may well be better off uninstalling everything and reinstalling in order.

Photoshop Elements 10 - changing default file time

When I scan a file in Photoshop Elements 10 the default file type is always BMP. Is there anyway to make it default to JPEG? I work with a lot of files and having to change each one is an extra step I would like to get rid of. Thanks

use a different browser.

How can I change the File-- Open menu item?

In Bridge CS4, I want an option to open a selected JPEG photo in Photoshop CS4, which I believe would be the File-->Open command. However, in that menu item I only have the option of selecting ACDSee Pro to open a file with.
Is there a way to change this menu item so that I can select Photoshop CS4 to open a JPEG with?
Thanks,
John

Thanks John. Go into the Windows Folder options and associating CS4 with JPEG fixed the problem. In fact, when I do File-->Open now in Bridge CS4, all of my photo editors appear on the list.

Changing Default file manager Nautilus to Thunar

How change the File Open With list of apps?

In Bridge CS3, how does one edit the list of applications in the File > Open With menu (also available from the contextual menu for any image).
The list contains a number of applications that I would never use to open an image, and I would like to add to it, a new image editor (pixelmator) that does not appear in it. I have looked in the Bridge Help and the Preferences dialog and don't see any option to do this.

OK, I have now learned that Mac OS keeps the list of which apps to open what, in the "launch services database."
This database can be cleaned up and reset which somewhat simplifies the list that is displayed by the Finder OR by Bridge CS3.
Here is an article on how to reset the launchdb:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486
Be sure to read all the way to the end as there are updated instructions down among the comments.
Here is a thread in the Apple Support forums discussing the same issue, and it includes links to some 3rd-party programs that can reset launch services without use of a lengthy Terminal command:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1289317
Even after rebuilding the launchdb, I find that a large number of apps are "registered" to open JPG files, including Camino, Opera, TextWrangler and others with only a tenuous connection to JPG. I don't understand why this is, and I would still like to find a way to limit the JPG Open-With list to a few graphics programs. But cleaning up the launchdb as described in the linked pages, did get rid of some programs and added some missing ones.
Hope this actually constructive info is useful to others.

Change Default for Open New Template File In Adobe Illustrator

How can I change the default folder when trying to "Open From Template".
When I use the open from template it defaults to the template folder in the program folders.
I want to change the default folder to a different location.
Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.2

Here's how to have your templates available in the "File New From Template" in Adobe Illustrator for Windows.
What you need to have
Administrator access to your machine.
What you need to know
The default directory for Adobe Illustrator templates is here (for CS5.1)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5.1\Cool Extras\en_US\Templates
The default Windows security doesn't allow shortcuts to be created directly under that directory.
You can, however, create the shortcut indirectly!
What you need to do
In Summary
Create one (or multiple) folder shortcut(s) in the default Illustrator template directory.
In Detail
Open Illustrator
Select File -> New From Template
Drop down the "Look in" drop-down, note the directory:C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5.1\Cool Extras\en_US\Templates
Open a Windows Explorer, and navigate to that directory
Open another Windows Explorer, and navigate to the directory where you keep your templates.
Right-click-drag your folder from the second Explorer (your directory) to the first Explorer (default templates) and drop.
Select "Create shortcut" from the right-click popup menu that appears when you "drop" (release the mouse button).
Windows will display a message "Shortcut cannot be created here, do you want to create it on the desktop".
Select Yes.
Move the directory shortcut to the Illustrator to the first Explorer (default templates directory)
Windows will ask for Administrator permissions.
Select Yes.
You can right-click on the template shortcut and rename it without the " - Shortcut" suffix; you'll have to grant Administrator permissions for that as well.
After completing these steps, your template shortcut will appear properly and you can select it. Happy designing!

How to change default file permissions so others can write to file

We have 15 people sharing files on a network. If we open a file on the network, work on it, and save it, it is readable and writeable for everybody. But if we drag the file off the network, work on it on our own hard drive, and save it, and THEN drag it back to the network, it is read-only for everybody. Documents made on our own hard drives are, by default, read-only for others.
This is a real time waster for us!
This means that every time we make a document on our own hard drives, we have to remember to go to the extra trouble to change it's permissions before we put it on our network. Please, is there some way to change the default settings, so that if I, say, save a Word doc on my hard drive and then move it to the network, it is readable and writeable by everybody without me having to change it's permissions?

Sounds like you are not using ACLs. When you double click your share point in Server.app, how many entries do you have in the Permissions window? If you have only 3 then you are not using ACLs which explains why your permissions are not inheriting. POSIX permissions, the base three of owner, group, and everyone, do not inherit. You need to add at least one more permission entry to the table. This is called an ACE (access control entry). Together, you are building an ACL (access control list). Try not to use users. Always add groups if possible as it is easier to manage and never requires propagation of the permissions.

Change default file types

I have been using Adobe Acrobat to view PDF's and it stoped working correctly. I have decided to use Preview because I don't tend to use Adobe's advanced features. But, I can't seem to get Finder to stop associating the PDF file type with Adobe Acrobat. I tried deleting Adobe Acrobat but Finder simply will not open PDF files. I tried the open with....and checking always use this as a default application, but it doesn't work. Is there some file or app that can edit file types and default applications?
Thanks,
Lee

Your personal preferences for applications/files associations are stored here:
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist"
If that file has become corrupt then it wouldn't reflect the change you wish to make. Try moving it to the Desktop, log out and back in and try again.
Additionally, these cache files are generated by system, specifying general application/file associations, and can also become corrupt:
"/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-014501.csstore"
"/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore"
If you have additional users there will be additional csstore files, one for each user. They can also be moved to the Desktop. A restart will cause the system to create new ones.

Script to override Group policy (Disable Addins and change default file type)

Hi there,
I am developing a solution for our customer that requires Office 2010 64-bit, which I have.
However my company's group policy, (I believe), keeps adding in a template manager for corporate documents, this template is 32-bit and is incompatible with my version of office. This means that everytime I open or close excel I get a warning of incompatibility.
This is irritating, as is the fact that the default new file type keeps switching back of xls, which causes me problems since my macro's need to create xlsx files, for the customer.
Now I believe that both of these are set by the group policy and while they a fine for most people, due to my unusual roll, it causes me irritations I would would rather avoid.
Since I know it will not be possible to change the group policy for the handful of people who are effected like this, I am looking for some help to, e.g. automatically run a script to adjust these settings on my local machine to make my life easier.
Thanks for your help,
Vincent.

Try using
Process Monitor for looking the key.
For example, you may set the required value through the group policy and see what windows registry keys are changed.
