Changing Default Project Directory

Does anyone know how to change the default project directory?
I can move events; that's no problem.
But I can't seem to move the default project directory off my main MacBook Pro drive.
Thanks.

I ran into this issue and found a work-around for it.
The problem is that OS X Finder Aliases work a little differently than UNIX links. A UNIX link will do what we need it to do because it is lower-level in the operating system (not a Finder trick), but if you cross physical disk boundaries you then need to then use a "symbolic link."
If you know how to make a sym-link, then you should be good to go -- if not, there are directions below.
To do this [you should have some UNIX command-line familiarity]:
In the Finder, copy your Projects or Movies folder to the drive/destination where you want it.
When the copy is complete, rename the original folder (I copied my whole Movies folder and renamed the old one "Movies2").
Open Terminal (~Applications/Utilities/Terminal) -- it should put you in your home directory.
You will now want to figure out what the UNIX path to your new projects or movies folder is. Get Info in the finder on your new folder, and note the "Where:" field -- as you will need to type this by hand.
You create a UNIX symbolic link by typing the link command, followed by the symbolic-link flag (-s) then the source directory (your new folder) and the target for the link (where you want it to point FROM), from your home folder.
I moved my Movies folder to a disk that I called "500GB" so I wanted the Movies folder to point TO the Movies folder on the disk called "500GB".
To create the symbolic link, with the Terminal program, and my current directory as my home folder, I typed:
ln -s /Volumes/500GB/Movies ./
And that created a "Movies" symbolic link in my home folder that points to "/Volumes/500GB/Movies"
iMovie'08 now works with the relocated projects, etc.
Once you are done with this, launch iMovie and make sure that it is doing what you need it to do. If it is not, you still have the original Movies or Projects directory that you started with. If it is working, then you can backup and/or discard the safety backup you made when you renamed the original folder (i.e. "Movies2").

  • How to change default compile directory tmp_ejb?

    Dear all,
    Someone knows how to change the default directory "tmp_ejb...." in WebLogic Server
    7.0?
    This is the default directory where WebLogic Server 7.0 generates and compiles
    the EJB's declared in config.xml.
    I try to specify the attribute TmpPath="ANOTHER_TMP_LOCATION_DIRECTORY_FOR_EJB"
    in the EJBContainer node but still doesn't work.
    The same thing happens when I test this attribute on EJBComponent declaration.
    Someone knows if there is an enviroment variable that specify this tmp_ejb location
    path?
    It's false that the tmp_ejb is located where the config.xml file is placed.
    I have 3 weblogic servers and they haven't the same behaviour.
    Someone can help me??????

  • 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.

  • Can't change default installation directory for silent installation of Flash Builder 4.5

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create a custom installation script for Flash Builder 4.5 in silent mode.
    I have created a flash builder msi installer using "Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition".
    I would like to change the default installation directory during silent installation.
    Could you please help ?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards,

    The install.xml in the "Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 Installer/deploy" folder will have the INSTALLDIR property. You can change this property to your custom location.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <Deployment>

        <!--Note that the INSTALLDIR value is machine specific.  The value below is a suggested default value but may need to be overriden.-->

  • Is there a way to set maximum cache size or to change default cache directory to sd card on Android?

    I'm low on space in my Android Phone and Firefox Cache is huge by my phone standards. I have to clear data after each time I use firefox. Firefox is great but I'm using it less and less, day by day. I browsed Internet for tips, but while I was able to set a cache directory on sd card using "about:config", it still writes on phones internal too. It seems it duplicated cache.
    Setting a different max size using "about:config" only works temporarily, because it seems Firefox returns to default after a while.
    Thank you.

    Hello.
    To help automatically clear up some cache from Firefox, click on each of the images from left to right. Now at least you won't have to constantly do it yourself.
    Also, to help you with your space issues, download Clean Master from the Google Play app Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard this app will clean up hidden cache and useless files on your phone, helping free up space.
    And as for why Firefox keeps reverting to the default cache in "about:config", I do not know. We are sorry for any inconveniences that this has caused you. But please try doing what was mentioned above to help with your issue.
    Hope this helps!

  • Changing default saving directory

    Using AA pro 7, win XP home and Mozilla firefox browser. Is there a way of changing the directory for saving PDF files?
    Right now it is c:\windows\Temp. And it always comes back to this directory. If I use MS IE browser then the directory that comes up is the last one I used.
    Is there a fix for this? Thanks, joeZy

    I added a shortcut in the "Save As" box - the one that lists Desktop, My Documents, etc down the side. That way, it's one simple click right in the "Save As" dialog box.
    This works for Firefox as well as the main program (Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 9) in my case), in Windows XP (my operating system) and reportedly in Vista as well.
    Here's the link, which you may need to copy and paste:
    http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/28/how-to-set-custom-shortcuts-in-the-windows-xp-save-as -dialog-box/
    You may need to get a system administrator to do this if you don't have sufficient access rights. You should also note that this will also likely affect other programs as well (which I haven't yet confirmed), which may be either good or bad depending on where you tend to store things.

  • Changing default project save type CS5.5 to CS5

    Hi all
    would anyone be able to help explain whether it is possible to change the default save as to a CS5, rather than going to file-save as.
    thanks for any help!

    The default is the latest version and you cannot change that, so to save to the earlier you need to use save as.

  • Change project directory for Workshop?

    The default project directory for workshop is

    Dave,
    You can change the server with which Workshop communicates by modifyingthe
    Config directory entry available under the Tools->Preferences->Pathsoption
    on the IDE.
    In your case the config directory should be c:\
    and the domain should be foo.
    also make sure you change the port number entry to the one the server infoo
    is listening on.
    Hope this helps.

    OK. I added a new domain (e.g., foo) and pointed the directory to one
    of
    my
    choosing (c:\foo). Weblogic then created a c:\foo\applications
    directory.
    Ok, how do I get workshop to use that directory for my development
    project(s)? When I start if from my start menu it uses the cgserver
    instance and when I create a project it creates it in the samples
    application directory.
    "Raj Alagumalai" <[email protected]> wrote in message
    news:[email protected]...
    Dave,
    When you create a project in Workshop, the project will be created
    under
    the
    applications folder of the server with which Workshop is
    communicating.
    For
    every project that you create via Workshop there is a corresponding
    fully
    exploded web application that is created on the WebLogic Server. This
    restricts the ability to have the project reside in a different
    location
    other than the applications folder.
    If you do not want the project to be created in the samples directoryyou
    can configure a new domain via the domain configuration wizard. But
    the
    project would still be under the applications folder of the newdomain.

    Hope this answers your question.

  • VS 2013 - SQL Server Projects - Can I Change defaults for SQL Servers to use and the paths to DB-files?

    Hi all,
    when a create a SQL Server Project using "File > New ...", I find the following settings defaulted:
    SQL Server is (local)\Version12.0 and
    DefaultDataPath, DefaultFileprefix and the DefaultFilename(s) for MDFs and LDFs point to the Project directory.
    Initial settings of file size and increments are also not settable but defaulted.
    Because my projects have to verify performance by testing with large volume of data, we have to use a different SQL Server with files stored on that Server. The Project settings have a button to changes DB properties, but these are not part of that
    dialog.
    So I spent some fruitless hours in vain to find a way to change the project's connection to my development SQL Servers.
    How to cope with that?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards Uwe

    Hi Caillen,
    thanks for Your response. I have to apologize for being a little late with my answer. I'll try to clarify my case more precisely:
    This is surely a topic related to VS2013 handling new "SQL Server Database Projects". When one clicks "OK" the following steps are executed by VS2013 (surely controlled by standard templates or the like):
    VS2013 creates the new project in a selectable directory and uses the projectname as a subdirectory whre the directory elements (*.sqlproj, bin\, obj\) where  later all the *.sql are placed, too. This is normal and expected.
    VS2013 creates a new database with its DB-files
    and attaches it to "(localdb)\ProjectsV12". The name of the database is the name of the project. The path to the DB-files (*.mdf and ldf) and their sizes are also defaulted to small values. The DB-server and the
    path to the DB-files is taken from the registry (!) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\SSDT\LocalDbDatabaseFilePaths. I don't know when and by what tools these values are set.
    The path to DB-Files is typically also the path to the projects. The (local)-server places all system database files in the User\<user-ID>\Appdata\.. tree. Which is OK for small databases. The templates extracts some data from the DB-file path and
    places it in the deployment SQLs to populate the SQLCMD variables DefaultDataPath, DefaultFileprefix and the DefaultFilename(s) which are generated when pressing "Executed" or "Debug" the project.
    My problem is that we have to test database performance with larger volumes of data (e.g. two million rows and more). These cannot be stored in the User-path but must be handled by some kind of professional DB-Manager on various storage devices. When everything
    is tested, the publishing function of VS2013 will extract the structure and you are done incl. all the performance taming things.
    The dialog from the project properties can change to a different Server, but that server does not know your project database. The server and the DB-Files should be specified by the developer before VS2013 creates the database.
    So  the right forum would be a forum, where people developing SQL Server solutions with VS2013 are reading the questions.
    Thanks again for your patience.
    Regards Uwe

  • Changing the Default Save Directory in Acrobat

    I am currently working with multiple systems, some using Acrobat 7.0 and some using 6.0.
    Basically, I am wondering if in either of these versions of Acrobat it is possible to change the default save directory to something other than 'My Documents.' Acrobat will remember the last directory I saved to if I have already saved to that location once in a given session, but if I exit the program and then enter it again, it defaults back to 'My Documents' instead of the last place I saved.
    Is there a way to set the default directory in 6.0 and/or 7.0?

    No. Put a short cut to where you want to go in the My Documents folder and you are only 1 step away.

  • How can I change the default EXPORT directory for latest iPhoto?

    Perhaps I am missing something, but I have as yet to find a way to set my default EXPORT directory. Since installing Lion and the iPhoto update, whenever I want to export it wants to put the image in 'Pictures', but I want 'Desktop' generally or somewhere else.
    I am all set with library and import location. In fact, Import is smart enough to remember where I import my stuff FROM - namely, the desktop.
    But once I have edited files and want to export them, the default jumps back to Pictures.
    Again, this is NEW and CHANGED behavior with the latest release to coincide with iOS 5 ...
    I just want it to remember my default from export to export ... heck, it even changes within the same session!

    I can certainly confirm the behaviour and have no solution to it.
    That said, in the export dialogue typing command-d will point the export to the desktop.
