Default Directory for iMovie08

My students save their work on a 4 TB NAS; at least they did until iMovie 08. Is there any way to change the default directory for iMovie08 projects and save them on our classroom server?

I have a somewhat similar question -- it seems there should be a simple way to move the "movies" folder wherever you want, but I'm afraid to even try lest I mess everything up. I bought a 250 gig external hard drive, and I want to store all my movies on that automatically, so that I can work on them both on the new laptop and on the about-to-be-ordered iMacs.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!!

How to set default directory for SQL LOADER

hi all,
i wanted to know how can we setup a default directory for SQL LOADER if at all we can. i connot place my control and data files in local system and use them at command prompt. rather i wanted to know if we can set default directory that the loader can use. this requirement is basically to enable all the clients to upload the data placed on the server and use the loader utility.
thanks in advance,
Basavraj

Ella,
You don't say which version of SQL Developer you are using via Citrix, but just setting the SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR hasn't worked for a long time (see Re: SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR does not function anymore). Also, since version 1.5, the default for the user directory (now set via ide.user.dir as shown below) is under the user profile area (relative to %APPDATA%), which you should be able to write to, even on Citrix.
Assuming that neither of those help, you will need to get whoever installed SQL Developer on the Citrix C: drive to modify the sqldeveloper.conf to have a line like, where the path exists for everyone who will be using the shared SQL Developer (assumes everyone has a H: drive):
AddVMOption -Dide.user.dir=H:\sqldeveloperAn alternative (depending on how you start SQL Developer via Citrix), is to create your own shortcut to start SQL Developer with something like:
sqldeveloper -J-Dide.user.dir="%SQLDEVELOPER_USER_DIR%"theFurryOne

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

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.

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.

What is the default directory for the PHP uploads, i.e. upload_tmp_dir = ?

I would like to know the default directory that is referenced in the php.ini file under the category of "upload_tmp_dir =" for the OS X server 10.5.8.

This is the best info that I have found:
http://bugs.php.net/52460
Still, just wondering what the default for 10.5.8 is supposed to be before I go and change the php.ini entries.

Cannot change the default directory for the web services

When I change the default directory the drive letter always changes back to the drive letter the project was loaded from.
Software version Labview 2009.

Did you change the default page within your code? Everytime you start the vi, it will revert to that page.
When you change the default directory (if it is a control on the Front Panel), did you right click the control and select save as default?
Otherwise, each time you re-open the VI, it will revert to the actual default value, which was the previous directory.

Default directory for file-upload in web.xml

Hi,
Does any one know how to specify a relative path for the temporary directory in the web.xml file.
In the web.xml file under the jato_MultipartFormFilter filter I tried to change the name of the directory so that it reflects a relative path but it did not work. The deployment process gives the following exception:
Failure creating test file in directory "tmpDir"; disabling temp file for uploads
java.io.IOException: No such file or directory
at java.io.UnixFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method)
When I tried to keep the default setting, i.e. keeping the tag empty. The server gives a permission denied since I am not accessing as the root user as shown next:
Root cause:
java.io.IOException: Permission denied
at java.io.UnixFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method)
at java.io.File.checkAndCreate(File.java:1314)
at java.io.File.createTempFile(File.java:1402)
The only thing I can do is specifying an absulte path from the root directoy '/' in my machine, not the root directory of the application.
<init-param>
<param-name>tempFileDirectory</param-name>
<param-value>/home/Basil/myTemp</param-value>
</init-param>
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Regards,
Basil mahdi

Todd and I discussed this last night. We did not seem to have included support for automatic detection of a relative path entry. We have issued an RFE for this. There is little that we can do if the file location cannot be opened due to permission problem. If the java.io.File temp file feature does not work for your web application then I suspect this is an issue in the application server; perhaps a misconfiguration or security policy issue. If you would like to indicate a path relative to context root then we have a workaround for you. Please use the call <ServletContext>.getRealPath("/"); and then append you relative path. This is essentially what we will end up doing when we implement the RFE. regards -matt-

Default Directory for JSP

Using Eclipse with Tomcat 6.0 Server, I have the following directory structure:
/Project
/WebContent
webpage.jsp
/PicsI am trying to access files within the Pics directory through the JSP. I figure this should be possible by getting the JSP document's directory and calling the Pics directory from that. However, I can't seem to figure out how to do this. I have tried
new File(".").getCanonicalPath();but that returns a path to my user directory within the operating system. I feel like this should be really easy, and I feel pretty dumb being unable to figure it out (nor able to find this on Google/SDN), so if somebody could just put me out of my misery with a line or two of code (or even just the call I need to make) I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

ServletContext#getRealPath() returns the absolute path for the given relative web path.
String absolutePathOfWebRoot = getServletContextSomehow().getRealPath("/");
String absolutePathOfPicsDirectory = getServletContextSomehow().getRealPath("/Pics");

Default directory for SQLplus GET or START command

I have 10g Express Edition running fine on my Windows machine.
Previously I wrote a lot of SQL and PL/SQL code for a UNIX environment. I want to run that same code from the command line (SQLplus). The trouble is my installation doesn't seem to want to allow me to change directories on my C:\ drive and I don't want to dump all my code into the C:\SQL directory.
How can I run SQL programs that are in a different directory? Should be simple I hope...
I have tried "HOST cd" but that doesn't seem to help.
Thanks!

Change destination directory for screenshots?

I often use Cmd-Shift-3 and Cmd-Shift-4 to capture screenshots to my desktop.
To keep things a little tidier, how can I specify some other default directory for these images, e.g. a "ScreenShots" folder within the Desktop?
Thanks.

Well, it depends on what you want to do. There are a number of different hidden preferences that can be accessed through the "defaults" command - but knowing they're there is a trick. Google does wonders for finding hidden preferences, where they exist.
Showing/hiding files is done with the "chflags" command.... "chflags hidden /path/to/file" to hide an item and change it to "nohidden" to show it.
Here are a couple sites that will give you more information:
