Default file saving location

I am in a school. We are using Win 7 and Flash 5.1. When I open a new flash project, I get asked for the folder name, but am only allowed to put this in the default location. I need to place it on a student drive. Other drives do not show. Is there a fix for this pelase?
Thanks

When you plug in your USB drive does Windows pop up a dialog asking you if you want to view the files on the USB drive?
The problem is with Flash 5.1, it's probably not updated to use Windows 7 save dialogs. The old save dialog has a drop-down approach. Look at the top of the save dialog for that drop-down which should contain a list of drives connected to the computer. One of them should be your USB drive. Do not try to save to C:\, that is the Win7 drive. You may have a D:\ for your DVD/CD drive. Look for something like F:\ or G:\ and look at the name of the device. Hopefully it says something like:
E:\ (ST11292-USB)
You'll know that's probably the USB drive. Select that and view the files and folders it shows. Check to see if that is your USB drive and save in there where the teacher tells you.

How do I change the default file saving type

I have seen this question all over the web, but none of the answers I have found apply to my version of Photoshop (CS5).
I want to change the default file type when I save files. I don't want PSD or PDF, I want PNG.
I want to hit CTRL + SHIFT + S like normal, but I don't want to select PNG from the drop-down menu when I go to name my items.
I don't want to create an action for each file I work with - I want this to be a default setting change across all of photoshop on every file.
Any help? Adobe has been of zero assistance.

I have already tried the "Actions" method - which is glitchy in and of itself!
What I am doing is very simple - I am making photo slide shows. I create a new file that is 1920 x 1280 (the size of my display) and then I open 100+ images. I copy and paste each image into the 1920x1280 file so that all images display the same on my screen when I run the slides. I re-size and adjust the position of each image so it appears how I want.
So I copy and paste my first image into the 1920x1280 canvas and then hit F2 (the button I applied the save as PNG action to). It saves the file. Then I copy and paste another image into the file and hit F2. Rather than creating a new file (or even a copy) Photoshop writes over the last file I made. YAY! More wasted time!
It blows my mind that a function as simple as "Change default file type" is missing from such an expensive, accredited program. How can their software engineers overlook something that hundreds of other people (like me) have posted a need for online? Something so simple? Andy why is it my job now to learn how to do scripting for Photoshop to add in a feature that should be standard? Is that why I pay $50 a month for this software or why I bought CS5 outright for more than $1000?
So that's what I am trying to do - make a slide show where each image is exactly the same size. It seems the only option Adobe gives me is "WASTE MORE OF YOUR TIME"

File saving locations

A very frustrating feature of 10.8.2 is that there does not seem to be anyway to navigate to a folder that you haven't used in the last 4 or is in the left hand column of folders.
I have to save a file to the desktop or somewhere, then open finder and move it. That means if I want to open it with the "recent" file menu it is no longer in it's place.
What is the way around this apparent oversite?

The Finder and individual application save/save as windows offer four different filesystem views. Since you refer to the “left hand column of folders,” I believe you are using the columnar view. I use the left-most icon view as it remains a long-standing functionality habit.
Saving a file to the Desktop, and then moving it elsewhere, is not taking advantage of the application save/save as dialogs that allow you to navigate the filesystem and deposit the file at its exact intended location. If you use this principle, then the recent file menu will remain accurate.
I do not create labyrinthine folder hierarchies that make file placement difficult. That means that my Documents folder, by example, usually does not exceed two sub-folders deep. If you try to turn your filesystem into some nested sub-folder outline from hades, it will become unmanageable, and hinder your filesystem performance.
I suggest that the next time you happen to be at a book store with a Mac section, browse through some of the Mountain Lion books on using the Finder. Take your MacBook Pro with you, open the book, and practice. You will become more efficient without spending $50 for a book.

Default File Storage Location

Where does Garageband store the audio data by default?

Okay.
So if I'm trying to email another friend (with Garageband) a song created in GarageBand called "Song 1," I just attach the file called "Song 1" to the email and they should be able to open it in their copy of GarageBand?

IWeb File Saving Location?

I want to backup my iWeb files as I do most of my data. Trouble is I cant find where Apple stores my site files, it just magically happens. Anyone figure this out yet? Also, could these file(s) be stored on .mac itself allowing editing from multiple computers?

there is no
purpose of maintaining a copy (which grows very
quickly) in his or her hard disk, not to mention the
question of backing up correctly the data.
Can't understand why one should not be able to decide
"where" to save his/her work. The alternative to save
one's work to iDisk when he/she is finished seems to
me the best solution.
The Domain file contains all the data about your site. It is not really usable except by the iWeb program. Without it, you cannot edit and republish. If you lose it, you need to recreate your site from scratch. That is just the way the program works. You should use the feedback channel to tell Apple if you would prefer a different arrangement.
To avoid possible problems, one should always keep a recent backup copy of Domain somewhere, on your hard drive, iDisk, CD, flash drive or whatever.
Personally I don't think it would make sense to require iWeb to fetch Domain from an iDisk every time it opens, if that is what you are suggesting, since this would make it impossible to work on sites when not connected to broadband network.

Setting project default file locations and a few random interface questions

I apologize for the randomness of this post, but it seemed better than spamming a bunch of different posts in a short period of time. I've been using Premiere Elements 9 for about 6 months now and there are a few little things that I'd like to tweak.
I'd like to change the default file save location for a project. I've got different projects in different folders and it seems like I should be able to set a default save location for each project. All I've ever been able to find in the help is how to set the scratch folder, which is different.
I'd like to change the default encoding preset for a project. For example, I have a custom preset for mp4 under the mobile phone category. It would be nice to have that be the default whenever I pick the mobile phone category.
With birthdays and concerts and plays and all that stuff I have about 50 videos and a couple hundred large photos already. Every time Premiere loads, it takes a few extra seconds to load up all of the thumbnails. I hide all the videos and pictures on the Organize tab and save the project, but it never sticks. Is this just impossible?
Finally, every so often, the end-of-clip marker acts funny. I don't know what the proper name for it is, but it is the thing under the mouse cursor in the picture below. It used to automatically move on the time line as I added or deleted clips. Somehow I clicked a button and it no longer does that. After a week or so of not working, it goes back to automatically adjusting as I add and delete clips from the timeline and then it will break again. Ideas?
Also in the timeline, I now have this huge gap of nothingness on top of video 1, see picture. My ocd says that Video1 and Audio 1 should be at the very top and the gap should be on the bottom. Ideas?
Thanks,
Bob

I kind of wish you'd have spread these questions out over a couple of posts so that we could answer each thoroughly. If I answer all of them in depth in a single post, this answer would be the size of one of my books! (which, by the way, contain many of the answers to these questions.)
1. The default save location for your videos should be the last place you've saved your video to. So that should happen automatically. Although in my books I recommend that, whenever you start a new project, you create a new folder for it. This is good housekeeping and a good way to keep your tmp and render files in the same place on your drive, which has a number of advantages.
2. You can't create a custom project preset. The only presets available are the ones Adobe provides. And, although they are pretty extensive, some non-traditional formats (like video from some mobile phones) are not well supported. You may be able to get it to work -- but it's usually a hybrid solution and, personally, if you plan to use your phone's video as your main video source, I'd recommend you look at another video editing program. Premiere Elements doesn't do the hybrid stuff well. It's ideally suited for video from traditional camcorders.
3. The thumbnails you see when the program loads are not in your current project. At least not until you import them into your Project panel. That Media panel is merely a preview to what's in your Organizer catalog. As I explain in my book, it's usually best to ignore this panel until you really learn your way around the basics of this program. It's very confusing. Fortunately, it adds very little load time to the program itself -- regardless of how much time it seems to add.
4. The thing in the illustration is the Work Area Bar. It's used to isolate a segment of your timeline for rendering, etc. Usually, it will shrink and grow as you add and remove video from your timeline. Unfortunately, there's a bug in version 9 and, if you manually change it once during a project, you'll have to manually change it for the rest of the time you work on the project. But, if you drag each end of the Work Area Bar to cover your entire timeline of videos, your project shouldn't misbehave.
5. The "gap of nothingness" on your timeline is just room for you to add more audio and video tracks if you'd like to. It's a good thing to have! BTW, as I'm sure you know (and my books, once again, explain) you can toggle the tracks on your timeline so that they display as either compressed (as in your illustration) or wide open, which allows you to see your clips and control audio and video levels. Once again, this is a very good thing!
Happy moviemaking.

How to save the current Indesign defaults file?

Hi, I've tried following the Indesign Classroom in a book but I find it left a lot to be desired for anyone new to this e.g ME!!!!. So can someone please tell me how I can save the current InDesign defaults file on a windows and if you can please do so like you would, for lack of a better word or term, an idiot because I'm fitting that description pretty well right now. Any help will be greatly appreciated and you will forever in my mind be a god, thank you =DDDDD.

Hi, im not too sure (I thought it was a stock standard thing, sorry) so I'll fust give you the instructions my book has.
To save the curren InDesign Defaults file, Follow these steps:
1, Quit Adobe InDesigns CS5.
2, Locate The Indesigns Defaults file.
. In Windows, the InDesign Defaults file is located in the Documents and Settings/Users/Username/Library/ Application Data/ Adobe/ InDesign/ Version 7.0/en_US folder.
3, Drag the Indesign Defaults file to another folder on you hard drive.
When you launch Adobe Indesign CS5 after moving the InDesigns Defaults file to another folder, a new InDesign Defaults file is automatically created and all prefrences and defaults are reset to their original factory setting.
Okay that's all of it and as far I can get is to the app data, for some reason my notebook doesnt have it and I've been trying to find other ways of getting to it but im having no luck. I would really like to avoid the Ctrl+ Alt+Shift thing because I'll apparently lose any saved settings that I might want to keep.
Hopefully that all makes sense, thank you for responding and your time =3.

Files saving

Hi, is there a way to deactivate the automatic file saving location to either documents, downloads or attachments? I want all my files to saved on the desktop, all the time?
thank you!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Each web browser has its own preference page as to where to save documents. Please be more specific as to which browser you are having trouble with?
Attachments also are controled on e-mail programs preferences as well. So please be more specific as to which e-mail program you are using.
As a workaround, you can make it easier to navigate downloads, attachments and documents by opening a File menu -> Save As in most programs, or clicking the Save As button next to the attachment in many programs. Put your favorite folder in the Finder menu's left sidebar, and it will also appear in the Save As dialog. Once clicked you will instantly be able to save files there.

How to set default file location in Illustrator?

I'm using Creative Suite CS5 in Windows Pro 64, and would like to set a default location for files in Illustrator and Photoshop when I execute the File > Open or File > Save commands.
Yes, the program defaults to the location of the last file opened, but sometimes that file is gone, or I'm creating a new one from scratch, and the program looks for files in a distant place in my file structure.
** Is it possible to set a default file location for opening and saving in Illustrator CS5 (and in Photoshop CS5)?
Thanks.

Not that I know of. It simply reverts to the global "My Documents"/ "Documents" folder as provided by your operating system. these can of course be changed using variables and editing the Windows Registry/ Group Policies, but that affects all programs...

Default Saving Location Adobe Reader Version 11.0.1

Default Saving Location Adobe Reader 11.0.1 -
Since upgrading to Reader XI the default saving location no longer works. So esssentially in previous versions The file path would default to the last place you saved a document, so when saving multiple documents in the one file path it wasn't time consuming.
Since upgrading it does not do this anymore and you have to select the file saving path each time you open a new PDF, which adds to the time to save multiple documents, so currently I guess it just opens a temporary folder each time you select Save As.
Can you please advise the setting that needs to be altered to fix this.
Thanks

Thank you. We have tried that but it has not made any difference. Adobe still requires a new file name to save the file.

Changing the default file name while saving the PDF interactive form

Hi All,
I am generating an Interactive PDF form using webdynpro, but when I try to save the PDF to my local machine the default file name comes as "<b>unknown.pdf</b>" so I have to manually go and enter the name before saving it.
Is there any way to change this default name so that I don't have to manually edit the file name each time when I want to save the generated PDF interactive form?
Please reply soon.
Thanks in advance!

I am running into the same issue. Setting the desname parameter (e.g. desname=temp.pdf) doesn't have any effect. Has anyone found a solution to this?
Thanks,
Brian

What is the default file format for saving in MS Office 2013? Is it still the transitional OOXML or the ISO/IEC 29500 strict format?

As I have read, MS Office 2013 is able to read and write the ISO/IEC 29500 strict (standardized Office Open XML) file format. MS Office 2010 was only able to read the strict format and MS Office 2007 could neither read nor write the strict format. The
.docx, .xlsx and .pptx saved by Office 2007 and 2010 were only complying to the OOXML transitional, as far as I understood.
My main question is what the default file format for saving in MS Office 2013 actually is? Is it still the transitional OOXML or the ISO/IEC 29500 strict format?
In case, MS Office still saves in the transitional standard by default, is it possible to set the strict standard in the settings? Is this recommended (I assume that OOXML strict is the future) to do this?
Thanks.

Yes, the Transitional is still the default file format for saving in Office 2013, and we can modify this setting in Word Options, Save:
As Alex Brown covers in his
blog post, "Transitional is intended to preserve the fidelity of existing binary documents being migrated to ISO/IEC 29500, and includes many legacy features for compatibility with existing documents. Strict is a subset of Transitional that does not
include legacy features – this makes it theoretically easier for a new implementer to support (since it has a smaller technical footprint, so to speak), but also makes it less able to preserve the fidelity of existing documents."

Export/Unload Default File Location

Version 1.5.5 used the last location as the default for exporting a result set. Version 2.1.1.64 always uses Documents and Settings\etc. as the default. The documentation says this can be changed in user preferences, but either the documentation is wrong or there is some kind of nomenclature I don't understand in the preferences section.
So: is it still possible change the default location for exports, or (should I finally reorganize my hard drive to reflect Windows defaults.)
Documentation:
File: If the output is to a file, click Browse to select the directory or folder and to specify the file name and extension. The file path is then placed in the File box. (The default file path for export operations is specified in the SQL Developer user preferences for Database.) Standard file extensions include .sql for Insert format, .xls for Microsoft Excel format, .xml for XML format, .ctl for SQL LOADER format, and .csv for CSV format.
If there's already an answer, I apologize. I tried searching 3-5 times but came up with copious entries with the word "export" in them no matter what other words I included in the search string.

In 2.x, that was Preferences - Database - Select default path to store export in.
Have fun,
K.

N70 Music Files - Default File Location

When I transfer music to my N70 using PC Suite, the default file location is \Sounds\Digital. Should I just change the default to \Music, or is there some reason why this location is the default?

No AFAIK it does not matter where you put it, Music manager scans for your tracks and plays them.
If you would like to keep it tidy and have your music in one place I can not see any harm it pointing it at another folder.
