Choosing the location to save files

Can somebody PLEASE tell me a way to get around apples friggin strangle hold over where i can save files in most programs (safari, office { i know i know, infecting my computer with the microsoft virus is stupid but i need it for UNI} and lots of other programs). I click File, Save As, and all i get is a small list of generic places to save stuff... Its Bull! Even windows 3.1 had the ability to save where ever you liked. Come to think of it, even DOS had the ability to. Hopefully someone can tell me how to get around this (if you can) or someone at apple gets embarrassed enough by this STUPID hassle and fixes it.
Thanks in advance.

Navigating Apple's file system is a piece of cake; always has been. However, if you have suggestions about how it should be done and wish to embarrass the software engineers try here:

Not a problem when using iPhoto on a Mac, which the transfer of photos is primarily based on - not manually managing photo storage as seems to be common with Windoze.
The same should be available with a supported photo management app on a PC.

Output error:the name of the package "greet" does not reflect the location of this file...

output error: The name of package 'greet' does not reflect the location of this file. Please change the package definition's name inside this file, or move the file. C:\Documents and Settings\Igal\My Documents\meiran\greet\Greeter.as
I keep on recieving this output error although my source path is set to C:\Documents and Settings\Igal\My Documents\meiran\greet.
any suggestions why this happens?

The classpaths you define in your Flash software tell the compiler where to look when it needs to find a class. According to your as file, the very top line indicates the Greeter.as file should be at a location specified by the path...
one-of-your-classpaths\com\example\quickstart\
So if one of your classpaths is: C:\Documents and Settings\Igal\My Documents\meiran\greet\
and you placed the file in the greet folder, then in your AS document you should not have the "com\example\quickstart" and your import statement in the fla should not be using that (should just be... import Greeter;)

Running the program which saves file in sap directory in background

Hi guys,
how to Run the program which saves file in sap directory in background? Thanks!

Hi Mark,
AL11 is a transaction that shows your application server something like an windows browser.
If you want to store file in your application server then you can write a code which uploads the data in to a file on application server.And you can run your code in background also.
Use function module :SAP_DATA_CONVERT_WRITE_FILE to write file on the application server.
If you want to upload file manually then use TCODE :CG3Z.
Hope this will you out.

I deleted my download folder and now I can't download anything. I can't select the folder to "save file to" and when I select "ask me where to save files" I still can't download. it says your file will start downloading, but then it doesn't. Help!!

I deleted the folder that saves everything that is downloaded from Firefox. After that I can't download anymore. I've tried clearing my download history, reset the download folder, reset the download action by renaming the mimetype.rdfs file and it's still not working. I've tried to choose a different download folder but it doesn't let me select any folder at all. If I select "ask me where to save files" and then try and download something, the download doesn't start after I select save to. The only time it does actually download is when I select "open with...windows mediaplayer" when downloading then the download will start. Please help. Thank you.

You broke your phone by getting it wet. Nothing more to say. Bring it in to Apple for an out of warranty exchange or buy a new phone. There's really nothing else we users here can help you with.

How to identify the location of .dbc file in Oracle Apps ?

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for some system property to identify the exact .dbc file's location using my java program so that I can fetch the jdbc url to make a jdbc connection.
I know we can get it from $FND_SECURE but there may be a possibility of two or multiple files in the location some times.
My problem is I need to get the APPS_JDBC_URL from the dbc file to establish the connection to my db.
Help appreciated.
Thanks,
Raghu.

Hi,
If want the file directory name to be captured in the BPEL process then add <element name="directory" type="string"/> in the inbound or outbound adapter header wsdl file. Then declare a variable of the header message type and in the 'adapter' tab of the receive or invoke activity select that variable which you previously created.
Hope this helps.

I can't download firefox 4. I only get the option of "save file" or "cancel". When saving file nothing happens. Still doesn't download.

I click on 'download', then the box appears asking whether I want to save file or cancel. Usually, when downloading, the option of "run file" is given, but not in this case.

Click on Save File. Then click on the Tools menu at the top of the page and click on Downloads. When the file finishes downloading, double click it to being the installation.

Not given the option to save files hosted on Sharepoint 2010 site.

We have a problem with opening forms on our intranet site.
We have hosted some forms which staff will search for in order to fill them in, only the experience is being jilted somewhat by what seems to be a simple issue. When opening a document for reference, you are given the option to Save the file. On a document
which is actually a form, we aren't presented with the opportunity to initially save it. Instead, the banner only asks if you want to Open the download, which then opens in the Word 2010 Web App. The problem is, this initially is not an editable file, which
causes confusion for the end users.
I wanted to share a screenshot of the banner bar but have not yet had this account verified, I will see to that now.
Can anyone advise how this can be altered on the back end so we have the "Save" function offered up as well?
Kind regards,
Craig M.

Hi Craig, your post is a little confusing. Could you provide a step by step of opening the document/form? Let us know what happens exactly at each stage. Without that information, my best guess is you need to go into the library settings and make sure
it's set to open documents in client application.

Is there a way to disable the option to save files in the cloud for a companies user base in the new subscription model??

Our corporation is mandated by privacy laws within provincial legislation that prevents us from using cloud based storage outside of our province for the storage of data. We are unable to continue using Adobe products based on the new subscription based model due to the inclusion of cloud based storage. We need to have a way to disable the ability/option for our large corporate user base to store data files in the cloud. Merely having the "option" to store files in a location of one's choice is not sufficient based on the policies we are legally forced to adhere to. Without the option of disabling the cloud storage for our user base we will be forced to look at other vendors products to fill the needs we have that are currently filled by the Adobe line of products. We would prefer to stay with Adobe products...so if someone knows how to disable this option (via registry edits, etc.), please advise.

hi Nikolay,
there is no clean solution for your problem. Browsers cache files by url, you can avoid caching appending in query string unique value per deployment. For example
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<current date> - will be refreshed from cache when day changes
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<GUID> - if guid is generated on every request, this file should never cache
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<product version> - more preferable solution, browser will update cache on every new version that was deployed
Actually, ScriptLink should take care about this, internally it has a method that appends unique id into query string based on js file content, if content changed, hash is also changed and new unique id is generated.

Changing the location of movie files to an external hard drive

how do I move specific movie files in iTunes to an external hard drive? I would like to free up space on my computer. Also, I do not want to move my music files or any other files - just a few movie files.

Assuming you know the location where its saved on your PC, you can just move it to the external hard drive. However, if you do that iTunes will show an exclamation mark beside it and mention that it cannot locate the file any longer.
Not sure if this will help, but I had a similar question (with regards to iTunes been unable to locate) and I got my question answered. Here's the link to my question/post.

HOW CAN WE CHANGE THE LOCATION OF TEMPORARY FILES DURING BROWSING?

IN ORDER TO WATCH VIDEOS A LARGE AMOUNT OF MEMORY IS REQUIRED. BUT THE DRIVE IN WHICH FIREFOX IS INSTALLED HAS MORE NUMBER OF PROGRAM FILES. IS THERE ANY WAY TO CHANGE THE LOCATION OF THE TEMPORARY FILES THAT GET ACCUMULATED DURING BROWSING?

You probably need to change the value of the %temp% and %tmp% environment variables in:
Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables
You can set the location of the Firefox cache by setting a pref to that location. 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.cache.disk.parent_directory
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Is it possible to choose the program that opens files I've downloaded?

I just got a mac and therefore started using safari so I'm definitely not accustomed to it yet...when I download word documents from my profs at school, and I click on them after they've downloaded to open them, it opens with TextEdit. I don't like TextEdit and want to know if I can change that so when I click to open them, they open with Pages. TextEdit doesn't always show the exact same content as Pages, as I just found out today when I printed out some homework but was missing half a page since TextEdit didn't show it. Thanks!

Greetings,
Yes, you can specify the program used to open files you download, as long as it's capable of doing it. In the case of using Pages for Word documents, Pages has to convert the document first, and that won't always give you all the formatting that was in the original Word file. All you have to do is select the file, press Command-I to Get Info, then click on the disclosure triangle next to the "Open with:" section and choose the program you want to use to open it. You also have the option to make that change apply to all such documents, including those on your Mac already.
Then close the Get Info panel and you're done.
