Changing the default location of MPN Navigator EX saved files

Friends
I am writing this on behalf of my brother who owns a Canoscan 9000 f and struggles with the following issue.
When he scans and saves his scanned image the Navigator EX does always want to save in the default location which is something like C: Users/admin/pictures/Navigator EX/
But he does not use that location, but would like for it to remember the last location he used. Or at least use one that is closer to the ones he usually uses. He says that having to manually choose the correct path every time is both time consuming and irritating.
Any way to change that behavior?
I think he is running Win 7 64 bit.
Thanks

I run a Mac lab at a high school. I, too, would like to be able to change iMovie's default save location from a user's Movies folder in their network Home folder to a folder on a workstation's local drive.
The only answer I've found is to train users to change the save location of their new project BEFORE beginning work on it. This necessitates clicking on the black triangle beside the Save As file window so that other save locations besides the network Movies folder (such as the local drive) appear. This is by no means an intuitive operation for most users. iMovie was clearly designed without a networked lab in mind.
I also train teachers using the Mac lab to inspect their students' network Movies folders, which should be EMPTY at all times--otherwise the lab grinds to a halt.

  • Changing the Default Location for Backups

    I've just downloaded PC Suite 6.81.13.0. How do I change the default location where backups are stored on my laptop? The default location stores the data in an location that is not compatible with my company network profile. I want to store the data in a different location, but I can't see any option to allow me specificy the location.

    You have to re-index your Library by dragging/dropping the main Library folder into the Loop browser.

  • TS1314 How do you change the default location address (in My Pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

    How do you change the default location address (in my pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

    You do no specifically. It sounds like you are syncing a folder to the iPod. In that case:
    From a Folder on Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
    The iPod Photo Cache will be located in the folder you selected to sync with. 
    Thus, you have to change the location of the folder you sync with.

  • How do I change the default location for iPhoto media?

    On my MacBook Pro, I have a 250 GB solid state drive. More than 140 GB of that space is taken up by images and video in my iPhoto folder. I want to purchase an external hard drive to store my iPhoto media so I can free up space on my Mac's hard drive. I can drag and copy the images/video to the new external hard drive, but in the future how can I change the default location to the new external device? I looked at iPhoto preferences, but see no setting that would re-direct media from my camera. Please help.

    Copy the library to the external hard drive.  Then launch iPhoto with the option key held down and choose the library on the external hard drive.
    Run the external library to make sure it has all of your photos and works as expected.  It will not be your default library. 
    Once you're sure the external library is good you can delete the library on the SSD.

  • How can I change the default location of files?

    I have just changed the location of "My documents" in Windows to point to a separate drive (in fact "e:\mydocs"). Now Flex Builder 3 can't see my projects. If I import them it wants to copy them back to "c:\documents and settings\administrator\Flex Builder 3". So I have 2 questions - firstly is it possible to alter something so that it sees my projects in the right place automatically. Secondly how can I change the default location?

  • Changing the default location PowerPoint uses for templates

    I do not want to use the default location MS Office initially configures for templates that is buried in some obscure folder on a local machine in that only Office know about.  Instead want to keep my templates in the same location on a company server
    with the rest of my materials so I can access it from my company laptop or from the Virtual machines I am forced to use in other company locations. This way I will have my templates everywhere I work.  When I make changes they are available to me everywhere
    I work and are not buried in a folder on a laptop or a virtual machine in a conference room half a world away. 
    MS Word allows users to configure this default location for templates but no where in PowerPoint can I find any way to configure this location. Previously on my laptop I have been able to configure the default PowerPoint template location, I believe, by
    setting the location in MS Word; however, this is not happening for me now on the virtual machines I am using when away.  I have scoured the Options settings and if it is there it is well hidden.
    To make matters worse I am trying to use what PPT is providing to me while I sort this out and when you try to open "My Templates": there is a message that says:
    "To add a template to My templates, click the File tab, click Save As, click Trusted Templates, and then save the file as a template."
    Of course when I follow these instructions there is no folder named Trusted Templates on the left side of the dialog box.  I am not sure why it is so difficult to allow us to configure this ourselves for each program but apparently it is.

    Hi,
    Please refer to this kb below:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924460/en-us
    As mentioned, if you use Word 2007 or Word 2010 to change the location in which your new templates are saved, you also change the location in which all 2007 Office program templates or all 2010 Office program templates are saved.
    Office programs use one registry key to record the user templates file location, you can browse to the following path to check if it's recorded:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\General
    The user templates location is stored in the
    UserTemplates
    string value.
    If it doesn't exist, try to manually add it, check if this helps. Detailed information can also be found in the kb introduced above.
    Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps
    carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/en-us

  • How can I change the default location ipad/iphone pictures are stored in on my desktop?

    So here's my dilemma.  I have lightroom mobile on my ipad and iphone.  Seamlessly, lightroom mobile pushes these images to my desktop and saves them in a folder in windows.  I use an SSD and would prefer not doing read/writes to it that are unnecessary.  What makes the default location problematic is that I can't seem to change it.  Further, when I sync my ipad/iphone to my windows desktop using a cable, I will now have duplicates of images that were synced via lightroom mobile.  So, it would be infinitely simpler, I think, if lightroom mobile would sync ipad/iphone images to a directory I specify, on a supplemental hard drive for instance, and using dates for folder names rather than some default directory on my main drive where they are just dumped.

    Currently, Lightroom saves the images in a directory structure under a folder named "Mobile Downloads.lrdata", which is created in the same folder as the catalog file.
    For example, an image will be saved as:
    Windows = C:\Users\<username>\Pictures\Lightroom\Mobile Downloads.lrdata\<random hexadecimal name>\picture1.jpg
    Mac = Users/<username>/Pictures/Lightroom/Mobile Downloads.lrdata/<random hexadecimal name>/picture1.jpg
    you want to change the location of this "Mobile Downloads.lrdata" to another path.
    You should file an Idea, AKA Feature Request, to the Feedback site:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
    If there is enough people voting for it, the Product Managers will evaluate it and eventually apply it to a future version.
    It's your interest to advertise the Idea in order to increase the number of votes (I would vote for it).
    There is another similar discussion in the forum (How do i change the location of 'Mobile Downloads.lrdata' ?), I am posting the same answer there.

  • How do I change the default locations for the iTunes music and iPhone back-up folders?

    My computer's hard drive is partitioned, with one partition having all of the Windows system files, and the other having all of my documents, music, videos, etc.  When I installed iTunes, it automatically created its music and iPhone folders on the Windows partition.  I've been able to change the default save folders for other programs to the second partition, but I'm having troubles finding this option in iTunes (I even went back and re-installed it to see if I could find it that way, but no dice).  Is there a way to change the default folders for the iTunes library and iPhone files?  It takes up A LOT of space on my Windows partition, so it would be very great to get that moved over.
    Thanks!

    You can't selectively move individual folders withing the iTunes  folder, but you can move the entire folder to, say, an external dive. To delink the iTunes application to the new library location:
    Open iTunes while holding down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows).
    In the resulting dialog, click the Choose Library button.
    Select the iTunes folder you moved to the external hard drive.
    Click Choose (Mac OS X) or Open (Windows) and then choose the iTunes Library file inside .

  • How do I change the default location for mail files?

    I want to move my mail folders from /Library/Mail and /Library/Mail Downloads folders to a different drive. How can I do this? I know how to move them - I want to know how I make mail aware of where I have put them). I have an encrypted SSD I want to use.
    I know I can encrypt the main drive but I don't want to do this.

    Changing the default downloads folder is helpful. Solves part of the problem. I have PGP installed and it decrypts the emails as they come in and place them in my inbox as unencrypted so the emails themselves need to remain encrypted on the disk. I tried using alias's but couldn't get it to work.
    I would just encrypt the whole disk but I am worried that I get other problems. I have had 8 Macbook Pro laptops in about 6 years and in that time only one has lasted 12 months plus without a replacement or repair. I don't think much of apples reliability or support for that matter, so rely heavily on disk clones to make sure I can keep working. The hardware is so rubbish I now keep a spare macbook for when my main one needs repaired. In fact I am running off my cloned disk just now because my brand new MBP 17" is in for repair for the 3rd time in 5 months. If the software wasn't so good I would swap back to that other operating system.

  • I would like to change the default location  TextEdit file opens at.

    I would like a TextEdit file to open on the right hand side of my desktop while keeping my dock on the left side. It always opens next to the dock.
    Is there a terminal command or any other way to change the default spot TextEdit opens?
    Thanks,

    Thomas,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I had read somewhere that TextEdit opened next to the dock, but I just tried moving the dock and TextEdit still opened on the left.
    If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate hearing them. I have to move this file every time I open it.

  • How to change the default location of 'Music', 'Pictures' in my home folder

    IMAGINE I have 2 hard disk partitions on the SAME hard disk,
    one is called 'Macintosh HD' and the other is called 'My Data'.
    The Plan:
    In the 'Macintosh HD', there are (1) system files & (2) users' settings.
    In the 'My Data', there are all the music, pictures, etc.
    For example, the 'Macintosh HD' has 40GB and the 'My Data' has 120GB.
    All I want to do is to *separate the SYSTEM and my DATA* _without migrating my home folder_ inside 'Macintosh HD' which contains folders called 'Music', 'Pictures'... to the partition 'My Data'.
    _+*I want to separate the system files and my data incase I need to reinstall the Mac OS X while leaving all my data untouched.*+_
    So the way I should do (I guess) is to leave my home folder inside 'Macintosh HD' empty,
    and create files called, for example, 'My Music', 'My Pictures', etc. in the 'My Data' partition.
    Then _redirect the files 'Music', 'Pictures', etc. in my home folder inside 'Macintosh HD'_ to _'My Music', 'My Pictures', etc. in the 'My Data' partition_.
    In Windows XP or Windows 7, you can redirect those as using the methods below:
    (1) http://i41.tinypic.com/2rorkhx.jpg
    (2) http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/18629-user-folders-change-default-location. html
    But I just don't know how to do that in Mac OS X, it seems that Mac OS X doesn't even provide a way for users to do so:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=336192
    I saw a reply in macrumors forum and tried to move the 'Music', 'Pictures', etc. folders,
    but it turned out that those files were being copied, not moved.
    So I can't move the 'Music', 'Pictures', etc. to the partition 'My Data' and make aliases of them which can be put in my home folder inside 'Macintosh HD'.
    So, are there only 3 options for me too choose?
    (1) stop trying to fight Apple and Mac OS X on where it puts things, just put all the things in my home folder inside 'Macintosh HD', using only 1 partition
    (2) move my home folder to the other disk partition, in this case, the partition 'My Data'
    (3) can't redirect the location of Music', 'Pictures', etc. folders in my home folder in the 'Macintosh HD', but just simply put things in the 'My Data'.
    Thanks in advance!

    Here's the easy solution:
    1. Copy the folders you want on the My Data partition.
    2. Verify all files copied OK, then delete the same folders on Macintosh HD.
    3. Make an alias for each of the folders you have moved.
    4. Copy the aliases to your Macintosh HD/Users/Home folder.
    5. Delete the space and "alias" from each of the aliases so the have the exact same names as the originals.
    DO NOT do this with the /Home/Library/ folder as the above will not work with that folder.
    When you attempt to delete the folders you have moved the OS will complain that it cannot delete them because they are needed by OS X. This is normal. In order to delete the original folders and rename the aliases you will need to boot the computer from another drive or from the OS X installer disc. But for the latter you will need to run the Terminal (from the installer's Utilities menu) and use Unix commands to delete the folders and rename the aliases. If you know how to use the Terminal then the entire operation can be done from the command line. See the following:
    1. Boot the computer into single-user mode.
    2. At the prompt enter:
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    cd /Users/yourusername
    mv /Documents "/Volumes/My Data/rest of path/Documents"
    Repeat the above line replacing "Documents" with the names of the other folders you are moving. The "mv" command actually moves the folders rather than copying them.
    ln -s "/Volumes/My Data/rest of path/Documents" /Users/Documents
    Repeat this line for the other folders replacing "Documents" with the names of the other folders.
    You may find printing out the command line routine using a large mono-spaced font useful in assuring you spot the spaces in each command line. Note that the quotes used in the command lines above are required.
    Enter "reboot" without quotes to restart the computer.

  • How do I change the default program setting when I download a file.  Numbers keeps opening the file intended for Quicken.

    For example; Numbers keeps opening downloaded files intended for Quicken.  I can change the program to open the download, but I can't find a way to make the change be the default.

    In Finder locate a file you're having trouble with, highlight the file and type Command I (I as in Ivan). In the box called Open With choose the app you want to use to open the file with. Right below that  you will see Use this apps to open all documents like this one then click the button right below that calledChange All.
