Change working directory for music files

My C drive is full and I need to move my iTune music files to another drive. How do I redirect iTunes to a new location ?
Thanks

Thanks. I followed your instructions and now all new imported songs are going into the new drive. Can I move my original songs to the new drive ? or the application will try to look for them in the original drive and "fail" ? regards. BR

Change default directory for Creative files (such as Media Databa

I'm using a Zen xtra with WinXP Pro on my company laptop. The Creative software puts a lot of files (7 MB!) in my user profile under Document and Settings. Unfortunately, this is making my profile larger than my company allows, since they back up the profile over the network.
How can I change the default directory for these file? I can't find any .ini files that might declare the path, and I can't find anything in the Windows Registry that points to my profile.
Help please?
Thanks,
Luke

Thanks for the suggestion of deleting the JetFileBackup folder, Micromouse. I'll try it.
Any other files look deletable? Without any way to move them, I may have to try deleting some and see what happens.
I'm not even sure which Creative programs can be uninstalled (other than Nomad Explorer) and still be able to use MediaSource to play songs from my Zen Xtra (through a USB connection). Windows Add/Remove Programs says that I've used all of these programs today:
Creative Jukebox Driver
Creative MediaSource
Creative MediaSource AudioSync Plugin
Creative MediaSource NOMAD Jukebox 2/3/Zen Plugin
Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra
But all I've done is open MediaSource and start a playlist from my Zen Xtra. Anybody know which of those can be uninstalled without affecting my use? (Maybe this deserves a separate topic.)
Thanks,
Luke

Illustrator needs a Relative mode switch or ability to set a Working directory for each AI file!

Hi guys,
I thought I would post in here because I find I'm wanting this feature more and more over the past year.
This can apply to most of Adobes application but it would be great to see some file management functionality built into the applications themselves. This could then be further expanded in Bridge/Cue to incorporate more applications into the working project but at the very least the application itself the ability to control its own root existence.
On so many occasions I require Illustrators file linking feature to be relative and NOT absolute which it currently is. The only relative capability it has is if ALL the linked assets are in the same local directory as the AI file itself and this as everyone knows breaks the first rule of proper file management.
Many of the projects I work on uses many AI files with sometimes over 50 linked in assets in a variety of different formats from a variety of different clients (locations). I cannot easily move this project folder around without the painful task of linking all the data again and this creates a massive issue.
Ideally an approach similar to Autodesks Maya and Max where you can set project directories. This means all the Save As and other operations will default to that working directory for that file. All linked data will then use the projects working directory as its root and allow the project to move from location to location and not be affected.
This would Im sure benefit many other designers who work on projects with large amounts of data that may not live always in the same spot. For us we work with so many different people during a production that mobility is a must and at the moment we are finding it very difficult.
As always, thanks for reading.
Cheers
Nick.

Hello,
First command
So what does the wiki meen by: "DEVPATH sets the physical device. You can determine this by executing the command
readlink -f /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon-device/device | sed -e 's/^\/sys\///'"
Physical device of what, and what output am I suppose to get: Nothing, a list with output on where the symlinks lead, something else... In my case I got no output, if that is right, I do not know - since I do not understand what the command do.
Seccond comand
DEVNAME: Sets the name of the device. Try:
sed -e 's/[[:space:]=]/_/g' /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon-device/device/name
Does it meen like this - If I during my pwmconfig used hwmon1 wich was coretemp, and hwmon2 wich was nct6775, I should do:
sed -e 's/[[:space:]=]/_/g' /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1-device/device/name coretemp
sed -e 's/[[:space:]=]/_/g' /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2-device/device/name nct6775
And that will direct every occurrence of hwmon1 and hwmon2 to the correct sensor chip?
Regards
Martin

Changing default directory for iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.

I need to change the default directory for the files iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml permanently.
It must be relocated from the My Documents directory due to VPN reasons.
Has anybody an idea if this is possible? I could not find a corresponding registry entry.
Notebook Windows XP Pro

Using TweakUI to Move or Create Your Library/My Music Location
Use TweakUI (See: ’Disk is locked’ or ‘iTunes folder cannot be found’ when installing or opening iTunes ) to create a 'My Music' folder in a spot where you desire. iTunes should then find this location and deposit its Library files there, and the 'iTunes' folder and sub-folders as well (if you direct it to).
First, see this Article for some background information: What are the iTunes Library files?
If you cannot see the ‘My Music’ folder within the TweakUI drop-down selection, proceed on to the following:
1 On the start menu go to ‘Run’
2 Type in RegEdit
3 Navigate in RegEdit to HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
4 Delete any entry for ‘My Music’
5 Navigate up the tree to HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
6 Make sure there is an entry for ‘My Music’ and is pointing to C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\My Music (you can edit the value by double clicking it)
7 Close RegEdit
8 Reboot
iTunes &/or TweakUI should now be able to find the folder.

How to set the working directory for reports in linux

Hi All,
Can you anyone help me to set the working directory for oracle application server 10g reports? I am using RHEL4 and AS10g. Actually i want to run my reports from my define
working directory. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance
Arif

Hi,
your rep_srv.conf should look like something like
+<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'ISO-8859-1'?>+
+<!DOCTYPE server PUBLIC "-//Oracle Corp.//DTD Reports Server Configuration //EN" "file:D:\oracle\FRHome_1/reports/dtd/rwserverconf.dtd">+
+<server version="10.1.2.0.2">+
++
++
+<cache class="oracle.reports.cache.RWCache">+
+<property name="cacheSize" value="50"/>+
++
++
++
+</cache>+
+<engine id="rwEng" class="oracle.reports.engine.EngineImpl" initEngine="1" maxEngine="3" minEngine="0" engLife="50" maxIdle="30" callbackTimeOut="90000" jvmOptions="-Xmx512M -Xss512K">+
++
++
++
+</engine>+
+...+
some more definitions
+..+
++
+<pluginParam name="xmlpds" type="file">xmlpds.conf</pluginParam>+
+<pluginParam name="jdbcpds" type="file">jdbcpds.conf</pluginParam>+
+<pluginParam name="textpds" type="file">textpds.conf</pluginParam>+
*<environment id="APP1">*

*+</environment>+*
*+<environment id="APP2">+*
*+<envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH" value="/application2/reports"/>+*
+</environment>+
+</server>+
The environment ids you can choose yourself and you have to put them in there yourself too (here I put two environments for two different applications "1" and "2").
If you call a report from Forms, then you have to code something like
ADD_PARAMETER(p_list,'ENVID',TEXT_PARAMETER,'APP1');
Details depend on how you call your reports, my example is for using a parameter list and calling a report out of application1
Hope that helps.

My apps don't work after synching music files from my PC

My apps don't work after synching music files from my PC through Itunes....though all the apps are shown in the Apps window in Itunes (The Apps match the iTunes account on the iPhone).....
Disconnecting after the sync and After downloading any app from Appstore through Wi-Fi all my apps start working.....
Please Help.....

What happend is your phone forgot it was authorized to work with items associated with your apple id. If it happens again, download any free app to prompt the sign in, once you install the free app the others should work.

Directory for archiving files with errors

HI ,
My Scenario is file to RFC Asynch.
when ever the PI picks file from the source directory that file need to delete from the path and need to be archived to some other patch.
And if the file has wrong data it need to archive to error archive folder.
For this I used Archive processing in filesender adapter and I also used directory for archiving files with errors(for wrong data files).
Now the files are arching successfully in the given archive folder for successful messages. But the error files (wrong data which are throwing mapping error in MONI) are also archiving in the same archive folder.
But these error files need to archive in error archive folder.
How can I achieve this?
Thanks in Adv..
Vankadoath.

you can use raja's logic ..........in addition in second receiver do a simple mapping UDF to delete the file from the SUCCESS folder. otherwise your file will be archived in both the folder success and errror
see this code.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) para.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
               DynamicConfigurationKey keyFileName1 = DynamicConfigurationKey
               .create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
                     inputFileName = conf.get(keyFileName1);
*File f1 = new File("/usr/sap/XX/"+keyFileName1);*
*boolean success = f1.delete();*
*if (!success){*
*System.out.println("Deletion failed.");*
*System.exit(0);*
*}else{*
*System.out.println("File deleted.");*

Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

Home sharing is working fine for musics and videos but not for apps. What is wrong?

i had the same issue as everyone here after upgrading to itunes 10.x. vista could see xp home share. ipod touch could see xp home share.
neither could see vista home share.
after several hours of authorizing de-authorizing, rebooting router etc, i knew it had to be a firewall thingy with vista as xp was working fine
i went to this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2553 and followed the instructions. itunes was already in my vista exception list. on a hunch i deleted the itunes exception and followed the steps to add it again and boom it worked!! i could now see my vista machine from my ipod touch immediately.
something must have screwed up the firewall exception on the upgrade to itunes 10.x
it worked for me, i hope this helps others

Oracle 10g Express Edition - change default working directory for save ?

Greetings all,
I'm completely new to Oracle but I am quite sure that on Oracle 9i, when using the <save xyz.sql> statement, a file was saved somewhere on the hard drive.
I accidentaly managed to convince XE to save .sql files on C:\ but I would like to change that ...
Google refused to offer me a solution so I'm asking you guys for advice.
And no, <save desired_path\filename.sql> is not an option :P, I would like to make the change permanent.
Thank you in advance,

Hi,
If you are using Windows, you can edit your "SQLPlus 80" shortcut.
Changing the "start in" path to, e.g. "c:\sql" will do the trick. SQL+ commands such as "save" and "get" will now use "c:\sql" as default working directory.

Executing batch file as administrator changes working directory

hey guys,
I already posted this question on the msdn-forums and they sent me here. I hope, you can help me.
My situation: I have a java program which I compile with exe4j. exe4j adds some nice features so I can install the program as a service with the command "myexe.exe /install"
I put that command in a batch file (more user friendly).
The problem: Only administrators can install services (in Win 7). But if I run the batch-file as administrator, the working directory changes to the system32-directory and I get an "command not found"-error.
The question: How can I solve this? The only solution I know at the moment is setting a environment variable at installation time that points to the install-location. Is there another way?
Thx for your help in advance

With runas you in fact logon to another seesion. So cmd is started with his own starting directory (being where it is located, system32).
I would recommend never to rely on the working dir for a batch file or script, but to always include the full path to the needed command/executables. If needed you can use environment variables to get the pathes of user-customised folders (for example the %usersprofile% variable).
Using .lnk files (normal shortcuts) you can specify the working dir to start in if you would really need that functionality.

Set working directory for a single thread

Hi there,
Well, there are already some threads about the "working directory" subject.
Here's a new variant: I need to have different working directorys for each thread.
I am currently enhancing an application to do some similar jobs multithreaded (but each one in a different working dir).
So far, I started n instances of the same application in n virtual machines in n shells with each one having a different working dir.
I think compared to the old way, doing it with multithreading is a good resource saving optimization...
Reading through the 'working directory' threads , I everywhere found the recommendation to do without the internal 'cd' and use absolute paths instead.
The problem is:
Some of the lower level classes create directories and files in their constructors to make sure they exist when performing later actions.
If there is really no way other than using absolute paths, I would need to change many constructor's and method's signatures (from the creation of a Runnable Object all the way down to the creation of the mentioned classes).
So please, don't recommend me to use absolute paths if there's a trick to do a 'cd'.
Of course, if there is really no way to do a 'cd' for a thread, this would be bad luck...
Hoping for help
Markus

Hi,
Reading those threads, I was not sure if the conclusion is "I can not" or "I should not" (maybe because its very difficult or it may have side effects or whatever).
The scenario I described is true, but it was also meant to prevent people from saying "you should not" too easily.
But if the conclusion is "I can not", it seems I will have to do numerous changes. Bad luck for me.
Anyway, Thanx.

PSE 7: "Base directory" for locating files?

I'm trying to salvage a Photoshop Elements 7 catalog that won't cleanly regenerate thumbtails on the old machine (so it hangs). I tried deleting the cache, but the system crashes the first couple of times regenerating the thumbnails, and eventually seems to "hang" at 50% CPU (sits for hours, seeming doing nothing). The log file is no help.
On my new machine, there is no hang, but PSE 7 it is VERY slow to re-locate files, since everything is now at a different location.
Question: Is there a way to set the "base directory" for where Elements starts its search for files, when the location referenced in the catalog has changed? Is there another way to update the catalog, when the physical location of files has changed?
I wanted to backup from the old machine and restore to the new via an external USB disk, but because the old machine "hangs" on the thumbnails, I can't. At this point, I'm thinking of re-cataloging my thousands of photos...

That's not how PSE works.
PSE knows about photos only if you Import the photos into PSE. Then, PSE knows what folder the photo files are in, and they must remain in that directory, unless you use PSE to move them.
So, if the photos are in different directories on the new computer, you must reconnect the photos to the PSE Organizer. Here are the details on how to do this: http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Quickly_reconnecting_la rge

Is it possible to change drive letters for library files

Without having to delete and re-add everything? It would be very nice for all my playlists and my iPod and playcounts and whatnot if this were possible.
If not, what is the easiest way to getting all your music with a new drive letter and managing to keep all playlists and whatnot.
I ask because I'd like to be able to access my music on multiple computers but the drive letter D:\ associated with the library is taken on most systems I go on (and on many cannot be changed for various reasons)

To be portable the iTunes library and it's assoicated files should be kept together in one folder, with all the media being in held a designated subfolder. iTunes for Windows normally creates the main iTunes folder at <profile>\<documents>\<music>\iTunes. Inside iTunes should be the sub-folders *Album Artwork*, *iTunes Music* and typically *iPod Games*. From iTunes 8.0 the iTunes folder will usually contain the following library files:
*iTunes Library.itl*
*iTunes Library.xml*
*iTunes Library Extras.itl*
*iTunes Library Genius.itl*
sentinel
If you rename or move the main iTunes folder as a whole, then hold SHIFT while opening iTunes (which gives an option to create a new library or open an existing one), then browse to the new location of the *iTunes Library.itl* file, iTunes will open the library, work out the new locations of any files stored in or below *iTunes\iTunes Music* and place new rips or downloads in the correct relative location. If such a library is put on a portable drive, the drive can be connected to multiple computers, each running the same version of iTunes, and the library can be accessed with iTunes irrespective of which drive letter is assigned by each machine.
As far as I can tell you were taking an existing library, changing the location for files to a new target, consolidating to that new location and then moving the itl files. While this would appear to be the advice given I'm not sure it is as simple or effective as just moving the whole folder.

How can i create work directory for Tomcat4 which is installed on Mandrake

Hello Everybody,

I installed the tomcat4 from jpackage.
Thanks in advance, Naveen Kumar Madugula

4) Advanced Configuration - Multiple Tomcat 4 Instances
In many circumstances, it is desirable to have a single copy of a Tomcat 4
binary distribution shared among multiple users on the same server. To make
this possible, you must configure a CATALINA_BASE environment variable (in
addition to CATALINA_HOME as described above) that points to a directory
that is unique to your instance.
When you do this, Tomcat 4 will calculate all relative references for files in
the following directories based on the value for CATALINA_BASE instead of
CATALINA_HOME:
* conf - Server configuration files (including server.xml)
* logs - Log and output files
* shared - For classes and resources that must be shared across all web
applications
* webapps - Automatically loaded web applications
* work - Temporary working directories for web applications
* temp - Directory used by the JVM for temporary files (java.io.tmpdir)
If you do not set CATALINA_BASE to an explicit value, it will be initialized
to the same value as is set for CATALINA_HOME (which means that the same
directory is used for all relative path resolutions).

How to configure for music file loading

I don't know if you can help with this one.
If so, great. If not, I'm not insulted.
I have a pair of Oakley Thumps, which are sunglasses with a built in MP3 player.
I used to have little if any problem loading music on to them from my old windows based Dell computer, by way of the Media Player.
We just got our mac last Sunday (G5 - Tiger version of OS-X), and today was the first day that I hooked up my Thumps. The mac recognized them as Thump 128 (for the memory size) and there is an icon on my desktop. However, the files that were stored were changed to a document file, and now won't play. I tried loading iTunes songs, but they won't play, since they are MP4 (Thumps only play/recognize MP3, WMA and WAV files).
Do you have any tips for how I can go about configuring iTunes, or any other program on my wonderful new mac, to allow me to load songs onto my Thumps?

You will not be able to put (or play)purchased music files onto the device but you should be able to "drag" any .mp3 file onto it.
If you mount the device and double click to open it there may be a folder structure that needs to be followed.
The current files may be in Media Player format (.wma) and can be opened with the WMP for Mac.
