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.

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??????
Thanks.

I ran into the same problem and was wondering if you got an aswer the question you posted in BEA's news group: "How to change default compile directory tmp_ejb?

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.

Changing default archive directory

Hi
I want to change the default archive directory.(which is log_archive_dest ).
Which one should I use?
ALTER SYSTEM SET log_archive_dest_1='location=/u01/oradata/MYSID/archive/'
or
ALTER SYSTEM SET log_archive_dest='location=/u01/oradata/MYSID/archive/'
SQL> show parameter log_archive_dest ;
log_archive_dest /ora_archive/
log_archive_dest1
log_archive_dest2
*.*

log_archive_dest_<n> and log_archive_dest can not BOTH be set.
log_archive_dest doesn't support the LOCATION= syntax.

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").

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

Hello,

I would like to change the default installation directory during silent installation.
Could you please help ?
Thank you in advance.

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.

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!

Package group - change default/saved choice

Hello,
While setting up a new system I installed chromium. As a dependency I had to make a choice from a package group called 'ttf-font'. I didn't think much and chose the first in the list (default 1) which was 'ttf-dejavu'.
I removed chromium with its dependencies, including 'ttf-dejavu'. I explicitly installed 'ttf-bitstream-vera', then chromium again without being prompt for 'ttf-font' dependency, all fine. But then I installed mplayer and pacman pulled 'ttf-dejavu' again, no prompt, I don't understand why.
Since I made that choice it has been somehow stored as my default ttf-font with pacman. Whenever I install another package which depends on a member of 'ttf-font', pacman automatically pulls 'ttf-dejavu' again, even if I am using another font package already.
How can I change my default choice for 'ttf font'? Where does pacman store the choice I made earlier? If I re-install the package the prompt for 'ttf-font' just wont show up again.
Can someone explain to me what is happening here?

mplayer depends on ttf-dejavu directly, while chromium depends on the ttf-font group. The old way was to simply depend on ttf-dejavu as it satisfied the need for a font in X. But after a while it was realized that the number of choices to satisfy that font dependency had grown, and there were quite a few. As such, the ttf-font group was created instead, and all the ttf fonts are put into that group.
I would imagine that the mplayer package either hasn't been updated since then, or the maintainer simply forgot to change that dep. This is probably something you might want to install a bug report for.
I don't think that people really need a whole hell of a lot of fonts, but do you really want to have just a single ttf font package on your system? I mean, do you really have issues with having more than one font package, or is this simply a curiousity?

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.

In mail, my mail is saved as an outlook file by default. I want to change default to mail?

In mail, my mail is saved as an outlook file, i want it saved as a mail file? Change default, how?

Thanks, but this is what's happening:
In Mail, Contacts, Calendarts>Add Account
Add a MobileMe or Other?
If I choose MobileMe, it asks for my MobileMe account. If I enter that info, it tells me I already have that account set up, which I do.
So I clicked the Create Free Apple ID button on the same screen, below.
This goes to a New Apple ID page
I enter location and DOB
This goes to a New Apple ID page
I enter all of the information as required, then click Done
I get an error:
Cannot Create Apple ID
If you have an @me.com email address, sign in using your MobileMe password
This takes me back to where I started without a solution.

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.

How can you change default persmissions saving files

Mac OS 10.5.8, intel based Mac Pro
When I save a file it has the permissions RW RW R. There is another 10.5.8 non-intel Mac Pro then when they save a file to the destop, it is RW R R. How do you change the default saving permissions? I want it always to be RW RW W.

I found it!
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2202
you need to create /etc/launchd-user.conf at noted in the URl above with umask 022 in it.
BDAqua - Thanks for the reply. After I created the file and logged out/ back in, I had to change the permissions on the folder also.
