Change iDVD default folder?

How can I change the default iDVD project folder to something else than ~/Documents?
I could not find any options that would let be set the default for this.

Chapters are set in iMovie, and the buttons for them created automatically in iDVD.
If you haven't yet had an opportunity to fully familiarise yourself with these applications, perhaps these tutorials may be useful:

How to Change Outlook Default Folder for Insert-Attachment and Save Email/Attachemnt while Outlook is open (VBA)

Hello,
Office 2010 32bit, VBA
Is it possible to programmatically do the above while Outlook is running? If so, I'm hoping to make that change from a Word macro.
I tried tinkering with the reg key and that doesn't work because it appears Outlook only respects it at startup time. Similary changing Word File-options-location of documents is respected only when Outlook starts.
I'm looking to seamlessly keep Outlook's default folder in sync with Word's default folder as the users change working folders in Word, which they do many times per day (and they chose the folder among a couple of thousand possibilities).
I'm hoping there is a difficult-to-find Outlook object I can manipuate to get to the end result. IF there is such an Object I have been unable to find it.
Many thanks!
Julie

Hi Julie,
Based on my research, I think outlook object model doesn’t provide the way to change the default folder for insert attachment and save email/attachment.
The way to change it is that we need to modify the registry setting and the outlook app should be restart.

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.

When I want to save a PDF attachment to an email, it defaults to a temp folder. How do I change the default folder?

When saving a PDF attachment to an email, I want to change the default folder. How do I do that?

Hi brs texas,
Do I understand correctly that you're downloading a PDF that you received in an email? The default save location is a function of the email client, not of Acrobat or the PDF, so steps to change that folder would vary by email client. Please check the documentation for your email.
Best,
Sara

Changing iDVDs default drive

My 104 superdrive went bad and will not burn discs any more, though it will still read discs fine. I now have an external LaCie drive, with works wonderful.
My issue is that I now need to create a OneStep disc, and iDVD wishes to use only the internal (non-working) drive.
Does anyone know how to change the default drive that iDVD uses, so that when I do a OneStep disc, it will allow me to use the external drive?
Thanks.

Hi Michael:
This is one way-
1. Edit your movie in iMovie and put in your iDVD chapter markers.
2. Save the iMovie project and exit.
3. Open iDVD and create a new project. You can now choose where the project will be stored.
4. Go to File => Import=> Video
5. Navigate to your iMovie project folder and select the .mov file that has the same name as your iMovie project.
6. It will ask you whether to import chapter markers, which, if you made any, you do.

When I change the default folder to save downloads in the options menu, it later reverts to the default folder even though I have made not changes in options. Any ideas? thanks!

In the Options menu I changed the default download location (folder) to a folder I have on my desktop and saved the changes. But this option reverts to the default folder when I turn on my computer and open FF the next day.

Thank you for your response.
I do use CCleaner and just ran it. It did not change the download option folder that I had changed from the default so it appears that this is not cause.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again!

Is there any way to change the default folder for new finder windows...

...Or even set a different folder as the "home folder"?
I am recovering from an incredibly messy archive and install which refused to allow me to save my old user accounts, instead moving them all into "Previous Systems". In my haste to get the machine working again I just dragged and dropped my old home folder into the /users/ directory and changed the "short name" of the new account to match it. IT worked, but now I have an incredibly irritating problem. That is now indeed my home folder, as appears in the sidebar of all finder windows, albeit under my new short name instead of my old one. All my documents in iWeb, Garageband, etc are working now and default to the new folder.
However, Finder has not recognized this, and every time I open a new Finder window or anything like that it defaults to the home folder created by the reinstall, which is now locked to this account (so all the folders have a red no entry sign on them). I would very much like to tell Finder to ignore this now defunct folder and default to my actual home folder instead - is there a way to do this without actually moving or changing any folders? Like a preference setting somewhere? I know there's the "Advanced Options" pane in Leopard but I've been completely unable to find anything like it in Tiger

Finder > Preferences > new Finder Window opens

How can we change the default folder location (avoiding problems with Temporary Internet Files)

(Environment in question: Windows 7 secure desktop (running as user not admin), Office 2010)
Hello,
As has been touched on in various forums (such as here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/797451), when one opens a PDF attachment in Outlook, Acrobat and Reader store the file in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder (f/k/a OLK folder in previous versions of Outlook. There are two major problems with this:
First, as Microsoft has documented in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817878, attachments end up here staying here under certain conditions (go checks your now, you'll find some!), which ends up being a file attachment no man's land, and that can present security risks (e.g. if data we thought was deleted still lives in that folder).
Secondly, the first time you open an attachment in Acrobat and do a Save As, Acrobat is defaulting to the Temporary Internet Files location. This folder (as noted in the thread linked above) is ridiculously hard to get to for the average user, so they can end up storing a file and then losing it.
We've found that if we open Acrobat once, do a save as, and change to the users Documents folder, the change sticks. But how can we have Acrobat default to Documents instead of that temporary location?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you check to see if Acrobat sets a registry entry or file preference for the first Save As? That's where I would start looking. Process Monitor is a good tool for this.

In PSE 12, how can I change the default folder for scans?

By default, PSE uses the Windows preferred location for this user. I have a folder that is easier to access, simply D:\Scans, and I have to enter this manually, as well as removing the default to set up a folder with "today's date" every time I do a scan. I would like to modify these default settings. Surely those locations must be held in an installed file somewhere, and so if I can just edit that file I'd be very happy! All help appreciated.

I have no suggestion for registry editing or setting files editing, but depending on which version of Windows you have you don't have to stick with C:\Users. Right-click the relevant folder and change the location in the Location tab.
Cheers,
Neale

Change Tiger default Folder Action to parse all files in folder?

I'd like to be able to use Automator and OSX Tigers Folder Actions to parse all files in a folder to an automator workflow, but it seems the default is that Folder Actions just pass the newest file added to a folder. Is it possible to modify the default applescript that says something like open_added to open_all? Sorry, not an applescripter so don't shout at me. What I'm trying to do is get automator to construct a variable URL from various txt files in a folder. I'm using the txt files as variables as Tigers Automator doesn't seem to be able to use variables or save and combine a result.

That is the way that folder actions work. You can edit the AppleScript wrapper that Automator makes for your folder action, though, since the folder action handler also returns an alias to the attached folder.
If you look in your user's *~/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts* folder, the folder action script for your workflow looks something like this:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
tell application "path:to:your:workflow.app"
open added_items
end tell
end adding folder items to
</pre>
By changing the line open added_items to open {this_folder}, the script will pass the folder instead of the files, so you can then use that in your workflow (e.g. *Get Folder Contents*, etc).

How can I change the default folder to open within an application?

Before 10.10.3 applications would open the previously used folder when I opened a document from within an app such as Word. Now the default open folder is my Documents. The Finder Preferences window doesn't have the option to choose the previously used folder. How can I get back the ability to have the previously used folder be the default?

The app would store that information in your preferences. Do you notice that any other preferences do not stick if you change them?

How do I change the default folder for saving contacts?

I have happily used Outlook for several years for POP accounts. My recent addition of an Exchange account has hijacked several default behaviors that I was used to. For one, contacts are now saved by default in the exchange related contact
folder instead of the folder that is associated with my primary POP account. How do I reconfigure Outlook to saved contacts to my preferred folder, so that I don't have to constantly move the new contacts after they are saved? I do not want this
information on the exchange account. This bad behaviour occurs no matter what email account is read, from which I am saving the contact info.
To reproduce the problem: Open a message in the POP email, right click on the FROM email address, choose Add to Contacts from the menu, find the contact stored in the exchange contact folder instead of the contact folder for the POP account (the folder
that Outlook USED to save to prior to adding the exchange account).
Work around: (annoying the first few times, mentally unhealthy after more than a few) Save the contact, then manually move it to the correct folder.

Hi,
What version of Outlook are you using?
I have test this in Outlook 2010/ Windows 7.
If set POP as default outlook data file(.pst),
Open a message in the POP email, and right click "Add to Contact" in FROM with External email address, it will save to POP contact folder.
If the Email address end with @Exchange.com, it always save to Exchange contact folder, no matter what is default email account, maybe this behavior by default.
Hope this helps.

Can I change the default folder color?

That's my question.

Sure. I use an application called CandyBar. There may be others. You can then change this and many other aspects of the system too.
