Default directory to save files in

I want to save my photos from camera/memory stick to a different directory than the program directory

Look at Edit/Preferences/Camera or Card Reader - your wish will be granted.

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

How to change default directory of exe file

I have created a VI that reads a template and writes on the template and saves it to a new file. When i created to an exe file, I would like for this exe to be able to be used on any computer. As such, the directory where i will open my template will change on different computers. Hence I am having this problem of how to change my VI such that it will choose this template in a new computer and set it as its default directory.
I understand that in my own computer, I can simple "set current values as default" so that my VI will always open this file from a particular path. But what i need help with is when i put it on another computer where the particular path would definitely be different. I tried using the config file.vi but I could not understand how it is used.
Please assist me in this. Thanks

Hi Aaron,
Micorsoft suggest to use folders like UserAppData to store files for your own programs.
Put your template in there and use GetSystemDir function to get the UserAppData path...
Or you put the template in the program folder or one of it's subfolder (not recommended by MS) and use a relative path to load it...

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.

Terminal Command, how to set defaults write, make application(s) use directory path where file last saved?

Does anyone know whether there's a terminal command to make all applications remember/use the last directory/path where I last saved a file?
For example, let's say there are (10) ten PDF's on a website, and I want to use Preview.app to open and save each file to the same directory.
Problem is, after each time I save a file, Preview.app doesn't automatically remember/use the last directory where I saved my file(s).
Forcing me to navigate back to the same directory after each time I save a file; super-annoying.
But, for some reason, when saving images from the web, Firefox remembers the last directory where I saved the file (jpeg).
So I'm hoping there's some way, possibly a terminal command to set/force all applications (including Preview.app) to remember/use the directory/path where file(s) were last-saved.
Anyone?

I downloaded a 1.2GB file in Aptosid linux with Firefox and cannot locate the 'Download' directory where the file went by default - please show location, ta

Where is the default ' Downloads ' location?
I have downloaded a 1.2GB file and it shows in the Downloads window, but I am unable to locate it in the filesystem.
I forgot to make a Downloads directory in my home directory first, and have since made one.
Thanks

If you can find the downloads window (Keyboard shortcut Ctlr+Shift+Y in Linux) right clicking on the file entry should give an option to open the folder it is in.
If the option is greyed out it was probably only put in a temporary location and may have been deleted. You could try searching by name and date & size.

Note you could have looked at the prefs to try to figure out the location that would have been used, but not once you have reset it.
Does your distro not provide the newest releases of Firefox, you appear to be on Iceweasel 9, the standard Release of Firefox is now fx14.

How to save file in users temp directory in java

How to save file in users temp directory as "<Drive Name>:\Documents and Settings\<User Name\Local Settings\Temp".

Shouldn't the System property "user.home" reference to that directory on windows? So if you call System.getProperty("user.home");, I think it should return that path at least up to <User Name>. I never really tried it on Windows though.

How do I get a "Details" display--as the default--when downloading a file, in the "Enter name of file to save to..." dialog box?

When I receive an attachment to an email, and I click it and select "Download", I get the "Enter name of file to save to..." dialog box (because I already set the option to "Always ask me where to save files." But the file display always defaults to a "List". At least recently. I don't recall it always doing that. In any case, I want it to default to a "Details" display, in ascending order, as I can then find things sooo much faster that way. (I often use the "Date Modified" tab to bring to the top the most recent version of a file.) I know that I can go to the "View Menu" icon and select "Details", but each time I go into a sub folder while in this dialog box, I have to do that all over again and it wastes a lot of time and attention.
I did some internet searches but didn't find a way to fix this.

Thanks for reaching out, glennr.
The dialog box you are describing is controlled by Windows, not Firefox, so unfortunately Firefox cannot change what you see by default.
I think your best bet would be to ask on the [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp?auth=1 Windows support site].

Change default format in "save as" file format window

I month ago I asked the following question...
"How do I change the file format order that is listed in the "save as" file format window? Instead of having "Photoshop" listed as the default file, I'd like to have JPEG at the top, then TIFF, PSD, etc. I have to constantly scroll down the list to find JPEG."
Recently while selecting JPEG in the "save as" format window, I accidently selected "Large Document Format" while holding down either "control", "option", "apple key", or "shift", or a combination of keys. Now the default format in the format window is "Large Document Format" (ext.PSB). I've changed the default from "Photoshop" which is still listed at the top, to "Large Document Format". I'd like to change the default to "JPEG" but I cannot replicate the correct key(s) to change the default format in the window.

Hello TomGroup...
I did not receive a satisfactory answer to the question. Yes, you can go
into the Scripts but that is for experts and it is too much work.

Subject: Change default format in "save as" file

Any updates on this issue?
I have a similar situation in that no matter what I'm working on, when I
click "Save As' then the default format option is always .tiff If I save
as jpg and then go onto my next file, the default is still tiff again when I
try to save No matter what I try, tiff is also my default selection. It's
just one of those things that takes a mere 5 seconds to click the dropdown
and select .jpg, but 5 seconds times a couple hundred files per day...it
adds up.

Acrobat Pro "save as" function in the file menu does not show the current directory of the file

I have installed CC but Acrobat Pro gives me headaches.
The "save as" function in the file menu does not show the current directory of the file but something I have worked on in the past.
It forces me to navigates through my hard disk for this very straightforward thing in normal conditions. I precise: Acrobat is the only software reacting like that.
I use Windows7 professional 64bits.

I use what seems to be the latest version available on the Cloud:
To illustrate my point, I open a directory with explorer and double-click on the only PDF in there:
So here it is, open:
When I do a "Save as", it takes me to a totally different place on the disk!
Very annoying...
Thanks for your time!

ASO - .dat file in default directory

Hi,
Our .dat file in the 'default' directory on our server is 209,715,200 The sys admin says we need to move it as it's too big for that directory. They do this on the BSO cubes and identify a path where the 'Storage' resides. However she doesn't see this option for ASO. Is this not possible in ASO and the .dat file must remain where it's at? Or is there an alternative method to store the .dat file somewhere else?

You mean managing the tablespaces ? - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/eas_help/tablespc.html

How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

Hi Ed
Thank you for contacting me, however I already know how to save text to
audio files via timeline using the Export feature.
So my question was not entirely clear and I apologize for that. To explain
further, whenever I save a text to audio file, captivate takes me to a
default save as folder where I then have browse back to my production
folder where I am keeping all my Txt to Aud files. This is very tedious
process when you have alot of files to save. So my question was is there a
way to configure captivate so I can make my production folder the default
file for whenever I save a Txt to Audio file through Export feature that
the system automatically takes me to that production folder, and I am
spared the long tedious process of saving the file manually to the
prodcution folder I want.
I have copy the pathway to the production folder in the URL filed in the
Save As dialoge box and that workaround as cut the work down but I still
have to paste that URL field to point the file to the right folder. So it
would be nice if I could do everything automatically. Microsoft makes this
capability in their MS Office applications, so I was thinking Adobe might
do the same thing. Your help with this would be appreicated,
Thanks

Set default directory/path for SaveAs Dialog using WPG_DOCLOAD

Hi, im trying to set the default directory/path for the SaveAs Dialog called by wpg_docload.download_file.
I'm not able to find where I can specify the default path.
Is it something like "htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; path=:PX_OUTPUT_DIR" ?
Thx for your help !
Here's a part of my code
owa_util.mime_header( NVL(mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
htp.p('Content-length: ' || length);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||substr(fileName,INSTR(fileName,'/')+1)|| '"');
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file( lobLoc );
/*********************/

I don't believe you're allowed to set the directory path in the Content-Disposition (or any other) header. More accurately, you can set path in the filename, but browsers don't pay any attention to that, they only look at only the terminal filename.
<p>According to RFC 2183, browsers are supposed to ignore any path information sent with the filename. Even though it's dated 1997, I believe this RFC is still in effect.
<p>This was done as a security precaution against malicious web apps that might try to download into a system directory or other dangerous place. Also, browsers (usually) allow users to specify their own default download directories. Further, even if you could specify the path, you'd have to do it for any and all filesystems (Linux, Mac HFS, Mac OSX, Windows, etc etc).
