Default file location for project files

When I create a new project how do I specify an alternate destination for the files rather than my home folder

  • Using OneDrive as default save location for project

    I installed VS on 2 different computers and want to develop from both of them at times. Either my desktop of laptop. Therefore I want to store the project files on the Onedrive folders that are mapped on my local machine.
    I have changed the default save location for Projects and also the other Registry Settings in HKCU... to onedrive/projects folder. But once I create the project from on PC and try to open it from another I am getting the following error.
    the file xxxx.csproj : error : The project file could not be loaded. The filed cannot be accessed by the system.

    Hello waddat,
    I haven't test this issue about onedrive mapped folder. But may I ask this question: Does the location exist in your PC or is it just a mapped virtual drive?
    In my point of view, when you tried to open a project from your folder, it is possible that the file is being used by onedrive synchronous process. Or Visual Studio cannot find the specific file because the file has not been uploaded/downloaded to the path
    you want to search?
    I don't recommend you set the default location to OneDrive folder, it is not reliable for you to do this because the synchronous process of OneDrive is not certain by us.
    If you want to store your projects online, the recommend way is to use Visual Studio Online
    http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/what-is-visual-studio-online-vs.aspx
    If you want to store projects using OneDrive, please try create your projects on local drive and upload your file to OneDrive and then download it from some other sides to us. I think this is the best practise for you.

  • SBS 2011 GPO for changing the default save location for Word/Excel 2013 not working

    So this is a strange one. I've got an SBS 2011 server that's the only domain controller in the org. I've created a GPO to change the default save location for Excel 2013 and Word 2013 using the Office 2013 ADMX files which were installed to the PolicyDefinitions
    folder.
    The GPO (U-Office2013 Default Save Location) only contains:
    1. User Configuration - Microsoft Excel 2013/Excel Options/Save - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
    2. User Configuration - Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Advanced/File Locations - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
    The GPO is linked at the OU that contains my users for my SBS organization.
    When I do a gpupdate /force on a windows 7 system with office2013 installed, and then run a gpresult/rsop, the policy appears to be applied successfully as it lists my GPO under the Applied GPOs list on the workstation:
    Applied GPOs
    Default Domain Policy dyndns.local AD (24), Sysvol (24)
    U-Office2013 Default Save Location domain.local/SBSusers AD (6), Sysvol (6)
    In the gpresult report, the applied settings appear under:
    Administrative Templates
    Extra Registry Settings
    software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\excel\options\defaultpath Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
    software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\doc-path Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
    BUT, when I go to the workstation, and check office->options-Save-default file path, the path has not been changed to what the GPO is pushing.
    The strange thing is that in my test environment running 2008R2 server and Win7 with Office 2013 and identical settings the default save location is applied and works as expected.
    Any ideas?
    I've already tried re-installing the ADMX templates and re-created the GPO's several times.
    I should also note that other GPO's on the SBS2011 server such as the folder redirection GPO work as expected on the same windows 7 system. It just appears to be an issue with the default save location in office2013 and other Office 2013 related GPOs which
    utilize the recently added ADMX template that don't seem to be working for me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Justin,
    Thanks for your reply. I have tried several different user accounts (all have local admin privileges to the workstation) with the same issue. The default save path does not get applied from the GPO to any of the users i've tried. Here's the steps I took
    per your suggestion:
    1. log on as a user who has never logged onto the workstation before.
    2. run gpupdate /force (entered y for yes when prompted to log off).
    3. Log back in as the user and open Office and check the default save path. It has not been changed to match the GPO setting.
    4. Check rsop to see if the policy was applied. Rsop states the gpo was applied successfully.
    I have attached the gpsvc.log file from a the session described above. The GPO Guid in question is: {DC3C93EC-7C28-48E9-BA38-FCA1E275A207}. Its common name is: U-Word 2013 Default Save Location. It's only setting is:
    Policies\Administrative Templates\Policy definitions(admx files retrieved from central store\Microsoft Word 2013\Word Options\Advanced\File Locations\Default File Location = Enabled\Documents = F:\

  • Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SF card as the default install location for software applications?

    Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SD card / external drive as the default install location for software applications? Primarily interested in apps installed from the windows store. This should be available in the settings
    charm within the windows store. This must have been overlooked in the development of windows 8.1 or is a bug.

    The registry method does not work with 8.1.  I found this out the hard way.  Doing it on 8.1 will leave you reinstalling the OS if you didn't do a SRP beforehand.

  • Best location for Project.fcp

    Just getting started and testing. I am using a FW external drive for my media (the Scratch drive assigned via System Prefs). All is going well (so far).
    Is there a best location for the Project.fcp file? I think that I read that it best reside on my startup drive.
    But, I also read (I think) that the media files and project files should be kept in the same folder (I don't understand why). I would suspect that the Project.fcp file can be anywhere, just like any other document file. Correct?
    Thanks,
    Sonny

    I asked the same question over three years ago!
    Here was Tom's reply to me that has an added bit of info that might be useful:-
    "+Putting the project file on the system drive is generally considered good practice. I'm not sure how much actual performance improvement you'll see, but the media might be less likely to have dropped frames. It also means, if your autosave vault is on the media drive, that you have project file backups on a second hardware device in case one fails."+

  • Default output location for Adobe PDF 9.0 printer

    Hi there,
    Is there a way on Mac OS 10.6.4 with the Adobe PDF 9.0 virtual printer that I can set a default output location?
    For example I want to use the print via AppleScript command, and all printed documents would be output to a folder on the desktop (or another location of my choosing)
    I know CUPS-PDF does this, but the file size is huge in comparison to what Adobe PDF 9.0 does.
    I've looked through the PPD but can't find anything. This can be done in windows by changing a registry key, but I can't find anything for the Mac OS
    Thanks in advance and feel free to ask questions if I haven't been clear enough

    If Cups PDF does indeed still work on X.6 the reason for the large size it that they use acrobat version 3 format.
    each new version of Acrobat has improved file sizes and compression.
    I would simply use cupspdf and open the items in question in Acrobat 9 version and use PDF Optimizer to save in Acrobat 9 format.

  • Resetting default name/location for published SWFs - how?

    I have several FLA files that have had the default name and location for the published SWF changed from the default (which normally saves the published SWF with the same file name as the originating FLA and in the same location). I want to use these FLA files as the basis for new animations but every time I create a new version, I have to remember to go to File -> Publish Settings... and manually change the file name to the new version.
    Is there any way to reset the default save settings (without changing the rest of the publish settings)?
    I'm currently using Flash CS5.5.

    This has always been on my wishlist but Flash will only reliably save, as you said, to a relative local location. If you specify a fill location (C:\this\that\there.swf), and then open a new SWF and publish it, you will find exactly what you did, that it doesn't publish where you told it.
    The only way I got around this was sticking very closely to relative paths. Flash doesn't have a problem if you publish to a location like: ./../bin/my.swf
    If you point it directly to a fill path without using a relative path, you'll need to hit browse and repoint the publish to that location every time you open the file. Annoying, I know, and I hope it gets fixed real soon.

  • Default Subinventory/Locator for item during Shipping Transaction-Any API

  • Specify a custom save location for Project & Event files

    Does anyone know how to change the location in which iMovie saves its project and event files?
    By default they're saved in ~/Movies but I'd like to be able to "create a project" and choose where I want to save my iMovie Events and iMovie Projects. Any help or suggestions would be extremely helpful.
    Morgan

    Morgan,
    Events and Projects are saved by default in either the iMovie Events folder or the iMoive Project folder inside each users Movie folder.
    When you start a new Project, you'll be presented with a dialogue box where you can choose a Project folder an a diiferent drive, but the Project file will still be created in a iMovie Project folder on that drive.
    Likewise with Events.  You can pick and choose what drive you want them stored on, but they are still going to be in a iMovie Event folder on that drive.
    iMovie uses this organiztion in much the same way that iPhoto uses your iPhoto Library.
    You can read more about the Project and Event Libraries here:

  • How do I change the default save location for new files in Pages back from iCloud to my Documents folder?

    I just upgraded OSX to Mountain Lion and Pages to 4.2, and because OSX is syncing with my iCloud account, when I go to save a new file in Pages it defaults to try to save to my iCloud account rather than giving me the folder structure on my hard-drive that I prefer. It requires two extra steps to save to the proper place in my Documents folder on my hard drive.
    Is there a way to reset the default so that when I go to save a new file, the folder structure opens to the last saved folder (like it does in other non-iCloud applications) rather than defaulting to my iCloud, and to do it without just removing documents from my iCloud account entirely?
    I checked the Preferences for both Pages and iCloud and found nothing about this.

    What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
    Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
    iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
    If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

  • How do I set a default directory location for opening projects?

    Hi there.
    Using Windows 7. 
    What I mean is when I click on Open Project I want it to always go to the same location, namely C:\Users\Julian\Desktop\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\6.0\Projects
    Each time I try to open a Project it seems to always go to some other random directory in My Docs.
    I've looked for this in Preferences but cannot locate it.
    Any ideas?

    I just tested the Open Project function, and it appears to default to the location of the last project you had opened.
    That said, I don't recommend saving project, or anything associated with your project, on the C: drive.
    Adobe recommends a dedicated drive for video editing, and I've always saved my projects and all associated media on that separate drive. Not a big fan of the "My Documents" folders. Sure you can access them from the desktop, to a degree, but when in the Windows Explorer, stuff is buried too many folder down for my tastes. Makes it difficult to locate files later on.
    I have a drive V: for video and will create a New Folder there when starting a new project. The Project gets saved there, as well as an video, audio, graphics, etc., and I do create sub-folders to organize those assets as inside the main folder.
    Thanks

  • Changing the default data location for iCal calendars

    Is there any way to tell iCal to pull its calendar data from a different location other than ~/library/calendars ? I realize that this would probably require some app hacking, but if anyone knows how it would allow me to create an incredibly easy and efficient sync solution that I'd be happy to share. This also goes for apps like Address Book, Mail, etc. All I need to do is tell iCal to look for its "Calendars" folder in, for example, ~/Desktop/Calendars

    OK. Move ~/Library/Calendars to your new Drop Box. This will ('cos it is a separate volume) leave a copy in ~/Library, so delete the Calendars folder there.
    In terminal you will need a command something like
    ln -s /Volumes/Drop\ Box/Calendars/ Library/Calendars
    A couple of notes:
    the first argument after the -s is the "source" - the folder that is being linked to; the next is the linking file or directory
    terminal provides some auto-completion, so type as far as the -s /Vo then press tab and it will fill in as far as the next /, then type Dr and tab again and it should complete the first arg (make sure there is a trailing /) then type the space and Li and tab and then you will have to type in Calendars yourself 'cos terminal can't guess what you want
    the last Calendars don't get a trailing /
    If it has worked and you use Finder to look at ~/Library/Calendars you should see (apparently) the normal set of calendar files in it. Make sure your Drop Box is read and write accessible by both users.

  • Set Default Save Location for All Programs

    What I need is a program that will set the default save folder (in all programs) to the same folder the current file came from.
    If I do a "Save As" I want the folder in the Save dialog box to always be the folder the file is in.
    This was brain-dead easy in OS 9 (General Control Panel, Save Location, Folder That is Set by the Application).
    I cannot find a help file, a preference pane, an add-on program, anything to allow this.
    If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it.

  • How do I change the default save location for Preview under Lion?

    I have to modify about 200 PDFs.
    When I make a duplicate of a PDF in Preview it always suggests saving it on the desktop. Instead I would like it to ask me if I want to save it either where the original file is, or where I saved something last.
    Note that Default Folder X doesn't yet work with Preview. And even then it wouldn't solve my problem.

It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.
