Default directory when burning

When we use iDvd to burn a disk, the program creates some scratch information that it puts in the user's Documents folder. However, at the University we have the Documents folder mapped to a server, and burning a DVD often causes the student to go over quota.
I have been unable to find a way to change which folder this temporary information is put in to. Does anybody have a way to work around this problem?

I'm not aware of any setting in Acrobat preferences which will do what you want. You could submit a feature request.
In the meantimes, I recommend looking for a third-party Windows application which might let you set this. I'm a Mac user who uses Default Folder to do this for my applications. I'm sure there must be a similar application for Windows.

  • Setting Default Directory When Scanning

    I have Acrobat 8 Professional. Most of what I do is scanning
    documents and I would like the documents to go into one particular
    directory or a parent directory and then allow me to choose a child
    directory.
    I have not been able to find a place to set a default
    directory.

  • How do I change the "Default Directory" associated with my subscription?

    I was recently added as an administrator for a client's Azure subscription.  This has caused his account AD to be the default directory I see when I log in.  So every time I log in I have to open the Subscriptions menu and change the FILTER BY
    DIRECTORY option.  How can I make my own directory the default directory when I log in?
    Note: there was an almost identical question back in Dec 2013 and the solution was to have the other user remove you as an administrator.  The marked answer suggested the questioner read some arcane description of Azure subscriptions and Active Directory.
      I need to remain an admin for the other account and the referenced document had nothing useful to say about my problem.
    Anyway, thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi,
     Thank you for posting.

  • Re: Default Directory

    Can anyone tell me if it's possible in Acrobat Reader 7 to change the default directory when attemping to open a new file?  If it is how is it done?
    Thanks
    Bob

    No. In the My Documents folder, simply put a short-cut to your desired directory and it is then only 1 click away.

  • How do I change the "Default Directory" or default subscription when I log into the portal?

    When I login to the Windows Azure portal it redirects me to a URL like:
    https://manage.windowsazure.com/@{SomeOneElsesAccount}hotmail.onmicrosoft.com?whr=live.com#Workspaces/All/dashboard
    If I look at the URL I can see the email of a friend's account not mine.
    If I click on the Subscription drop down his account is listed as the "Default Directory" even though I no longer have access.
    How do I remove his account/subscription/directory from my account?
    How do I change my subscription as the default, so that when I login the URL is more like: https://manage.windowsazure.com/@{my email}.onmicrosoft.com#Workspaces/All/dashboard
    I have also
    asked this here...
    See the image below.  The one listed as "default directory" I no longer have access to.

    Hi Gary,
    Did you use the organizational accounts ? I guess your login account was added by "SomeOneElsesAccount" . When we used azure AD account to logging into portal, the url show the "SomeOneElsesAccount" message on the portal. If you didn't
    show other user message, I suggest you could use Microsoft account to login. Also, I suggest you read this document (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh531793.aspx )
    firstly.
    Any question, please let me know.
    Thanks

  • Theme customized but defaults to original when burned

    I made a slideshow in iphoto and saved as disc image, used disc utility to burn the dvd.
    i changed the theme on the intro page-music, photo, background, etc.
    when burning to disc image, i see my customized version. when i play back the newly created dvd, it has the original theme! argh.
    I'm new to this, so maybe it's a simple thing. (I did "save as" with this idvd file prior to burning.) thanks,
    Kim

    Hello, Kim
    Welcome to the discussions.
    To add to Bengt's great advice, I would also delete iDVD's preference file.
    YourUserName_.Library->Preferences->com.apple.idvdplist.
    Do this with iDVD closed. Trash the plist file. When you reopen iDVD, a new file will be created.
    Also, since you did a 'save as' with this file, you could delete the other one if you no longer need it.

  • How to change the default JRE when there are several version of JRE in Sys

    How to change the default JRE when there are several version of JRE in System?
    i have installed j2sdk1.5.0 then installed j2ee1.4,then installed Weblogic6.1 which use jdk1.3
    Now the JRE is jdk1.3\bin
    When run class that was compiled with jdk1.5,throw:
    java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError
    How can i change the jre to 1.5?

    There is a workaround to move from 1.5 version to the older 1.4 version. But this could be specific to the browser setting the JRE version.
    Excerpts from sun docs:
    However, a user can still run older versions. To do so, launch the Java Plug-in Control Panel for the older version, then (re)select the browser in the Browser tab.
    Example:
    Assume you are running on Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Internet Explorer, have first installed version 1.4.2, then version 5.0, and you want to run 1.4.2.
    Go to the j2re1.4.2\bin directory where JRE 1.4.2 was installed. On a Windows default installation, this would be here: C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin
    Double-click the jpicpl32.exe file located there. It will launch the control panel for 1.4.2.
    Select the Browser tab. Microsoft Internet Explorer might still appear to be set (checked). However, when 5.0 was installed, the registration of the 1.4.2 JRE with Internet Explorer was overwritten by the 5.0 JRE.
    If Microsoft Internet Explorer is shown as checked, uncheck it and click Apply. You will see a confirmation dialog stating that browser settings have changed.
    Check Microsoft Internet Explorer and click Apply. You should see a confirmation dialog.
    Restart the browser. It should now use the 1.4.2 JRE for conventional APPLET tags.
    Details are here
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/jcp.html
    My system (Windows XP) has the version 1.5_09 set as the default. However i just installed JRE 1.5_06 and would like to revert back to _06 as the default JRE..
    Will update if i find more information

  • How to change the default directory from within SQL*Plus ?

    Hello,
    I want to change the default directory directly from within SQL*Plus to be able to launch my command files with simple instructions like :
    @my_command.sql
    If I haven't launched SQL*Plus from the directory containing the file my_command.sql, how do I change the default directory to the directory of my command files ?
    I've searched through the Oracle documentation, there's no SET DEFAULTDIR or something like that. When I do a SHOW ALL, there's no variable containing the default directory.
    If you have an idea...

    Hi Jérôme (J鲴me ?),

  • 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...

  • How can I specify a default directory on my external drive, for iPhone photos to be imported to on Macbook Air?

    I use both a PC as well as my Macbook Air and when I sync my iPhone with my PC (I connect the phone to PC) my phone (or is it my computer)? knows to import my photos and videos to a specific directory/folder on my external hard drive (I am able to tell my PC which folder to import my photos and videos to). For example, it imports all photos and videos to the external drive and organises the photos and videos by date (it creates a separate folder for each date the photos/videos were taken; I had to tell my PC to import to the default directory (external drive) when I did this for the first time, and it now creates a new folder for each date which is useful for keeping photos organised, etc. 
    I'd like to be able to do the same thing, using my Macbook Air, i.e., when I connect my iPhone to the Macbook air, I want my Macbook Air to know to import my photos to my external hard drive; is this possible? I am not familiar with the photo programmes on the Macbook air, but to be honest, I don't want to use them for this; I just want my photos and videos on my iPhone to import to the same folder when I use my Macbook air to sync, as when I use my PC to sync  (I use my PC at work and have my Macbook at home). I'd like to be able to sync my phone when at home and not have to wait till I get to work, etc.
    Many thanks for any help you can provide...

    Yes there are many, but the question is why won't the new folder create on the drive?
    What format is it?

  • Unable to obtain full screen when burning DVD

    I have a trial version of Adobe Premiere Elements
    8. When burning dvd and then playing on my tv through dvd player I am not getting a full screen. The wide screen video covers about 3/4 of the screen instead of the entire screen. The settings I am using are NTSC widescreen dolbyDVD, and Quality is checked with no changes in quality. The preview screen is set  on a magnificatgion fit. The Video is centered on the preview screen. I have spent hours trying to resolve this problem? I have a trial version and not sure if want to purchase with this problem.
    I tried to upload the 8.01 up grade and my computer just blinks on and off; will not load?

    I have been having the same problems.  See my discussion threads on aspect ratios in the past few days.
    Let me share my thoughts on this.  Apparently Elements 8 is optimized to work on 4:3 CRT TV's; HD flat screen TV's must not have made much penetration in India yet.  So when you set the output for NTSC widescreen, what Elements does is compress the widescreen data into a 4:3 frame, squeezing the image horizontally.  Counterintuitively, what you have to do is select NTSC normal.  Then Elements does not further squeeze the widescreen data.  What it then does is fit it into a 16:9 letterbox, still containing the left and right bars, within the 4:3 frame.  Set the DVD to playback in widescreen mode, which expands the letterbox image to full width of the TV, though retaining the left and right bars, then zoom the TV image to full the screen, to eliminate all the bars top, bottom and sides.  Worked for me, but I used a SD camcorder set to record in widescreen.
    A better option might be to change the default pixel aspect ratio, which I am yet unable to effectuate.

  • Co-Administrator added to the default directory cannot log in, Error message: No Subscriptions

    So I had set up Azure Subscription earlier this week and activated a Standard website plan. I added co-admins to the default directory but when they try to log in through manage.windowsazure.com they get an error that there are no subsciprtions associated
    with their account. Why is this happening? Why can't they log in even though I have added them into the default directory of which I'm a Global Administrator?

    Hi,
    Based on your description, you want to add co-administrator? Am I right? If that, please have a look at below article and follow its steps.

  • Wrong classes output directory when use of dependant projects

    Hi,
    JDev 10.1.2.1 but also in previous versions.
    Windows XP Prof, AMD Athlon, 1 Go Mem
    I have following setup:
    Projects:
    DTO (data transfer objects and utility classes used in other projects)
    -> dependies: none
    Directory tree:
    MyWorkspace\DTO\classes
    MyWorkspace\DTO\src
    Model (model classes)
    -> dependies: DTO
    Directory tree:
    MyWorkspace\Model\classes
    MyWorkspace\Model\src
    View (JClient app)
    -> dependies: DTO, Model
    Directory tree:
    MyWorkspace\View\classes
    MyWorkspace\View\src
    WebView (Struts app)
    -> dependies: DTO, Model
    Directory tree:
    MyWorkspace\WebView\deploy
    MyWorkspace\WebView\model
    MyWorkspace\WebView\public_html
    For some unexplained reasons sometimes (difficult to reproduce)
    JDev get confused and DTO classes, sometimes Model classes are copied to the View project classes directory.
    Example utility class of the DTO project:
    source:
    MyWorkspace\DTO\src\com\photoswing\dto\util\TextUtils.java
    instead of being generated in:
    MyWorkspace\DTO\classes\com\photoswing\dto\util\TextUtils.class
    is found in the View claases output directory (directory tree created by JDev):
    MyWorkspace\View\classes\com\photoswing\dto\util\TextUtils.class
    I noticed that regularly the JDev navigator has synchronization problems and can't find the class when activating the right-click Select in Navigator action in an open source file.
    This generally happens when switching from source files of different projects.
    Now if you compile a source file and the navigator has a synchronization problem following warning is displayed:
    Warning: The file is not part of the active project DTO.jpr, compiled class will be written to DTO.jpr output directory
    When only one file gets compiled this can be repaired easely by deleting the class written in the wrong directory.
    But when several files are changed and are compiled the warning is only displayed for the current source file and all classes output trees must be scanned manually.
    When testing the app if I'm not wrong JDev reads from the classes directories and doesn't produce a jar file, so deleting manually the wrong classes is a valid workaround.
    But what if the app gets deployed and jars are generated?
    I can't imagine myself changing manually the produced jars by removing the wrong classes and what about the manifest?
    Your help is requested.
    Regards
    Fred
    PS Can't provide a TestCase => happens in complex environment only.

    Glad to know I'm not the only one having that serious problem.
    JDev by default create at least 2 different projects (model and view) so it seems to be a standard.
    Working simultaneously on source files of different projects seems to the cause the trouble.
    Is there somekind of patch available?
    Could somebody of Oracle answer the question of the first message of this thread?
    Thanks
    Fred
