Default setting for deleting files, default setting for deleting files

How can I change default value for deleting files from 'Keep file' to 'In waste basket' (sorry this is a translation from the German 'In den Papierkorb') meaning delete file from harddisk definitely.

Thank you for your quick answer. Yes that's the place I am doing the job. And yes I do get a choice to choose between 'Delete from hard disk' or 'Delete from iTunes only'.
But the 'Delete from iTunes only' is the default setting. I would like to change the default setting to 'Delete permanently (from hard disk too)'. This would enable me to work much quicker by using keys only (Del + Enter) without touching the mouse to change from 'Delete from iTunes only' to 'Delete permanently'.

Set default app for generic files

I don't know when this started happening, but some OSX update broke my opening generic files. Now when I doubleclick the generic file icon it opens in Microsoft Word, which is unacceptable. So I deleted Word and now the files open in a genealogy application, which has to throw a number of error dialogs before it can be closed.
How do generic files know to open in the genealogy app? Is this something in Launch Services I can change to set them to open in a decent UNIX editor? This bugs me, because it all worked well until a few months ago.
If I say:
defaults read com.apple.LaunchServices 'LSHandlers'
the resulting text contains:
LSHandlerContentTag = ged;
LSHandlerContentTagClass = "public.filename-extension";
LSHandlerIgnoreCreator = 1;
LSHandlerRoleAll = "uk.ac.qmw.dcs.seegedcomx";
seegedcomx is the app that now opens all generic files. Is there a way to set this to a proper application?

More than likely it's a LaunchServices problem and you should reset its database. See http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/resetlaunchservices.html for details.

After install, Firefox sets itself as default to open all kinds of files. How do I prevent this. I don't want it as default for anything except browser.

For example, after install of most recent version 32.0.1 Firefox logo was attached to all my pdf files. I only want to firefox as a browser, not to open videos, pics or pdf's. I went to default program option in start menu but there are so many file types I don't know what should be opening. I simply deleted firefox and everything went back to normal.

Note that this would possibly only happen when Firefox is set as the default browser and only should happen if there isn't another application set to handle these file type.
Firefox inspects some registry keys to check that and if a program is registered via other registry keys then Firefox may think that there isn't a program to handle these content types.
You can use the registry editor to check some keys.
*Registry Editor:<br>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.pdf\<br>HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf
Remove the FirefoxHTML value of the Default key and leave an empty value of that key.
That should allow you to set another application as the default to handle PDF files via the open with dialog.

System keeps re-setting the default app to Preview for iWork files.

Hello.
I've scoured the internet for a solution to this problem, but can't find one. The problem applies to Numbers, Pages and Keynote, and I am putting this post in the forum for each. I shall explain it using a Numbers file as an example.
For three or four years, I've had a file that was created in Numbers to be opened in Numbers; it's a spreadsheet that I update with every transaction of my bank account.
Until about a week ago, the file would always open in Numbers, its default application, and then the file kept opening in Preview instead of in Numbers. I checked the 'Get Info' panel and found that its default application was Preview. This was strange, so I changed it to Numbers. When I opened the file the next day, it again opened in Preview, and I found again that Preview was set as its default app. This time, I set Numbers as the default app by right-clicking on the file, selecting 'Open With', and Numbers wasn't on the list, so I went to 'Other...', and in the 'Choose Application' window, navigated to the Numbers app, selected it and activated the 'Always Open With' option.
As you would expect, the file then opens in Numbers. However, whenever the computer has been off and I have logged in again, the default app for the file has reverted to Preview.
The only thing I can think of that might have a bearing on this problem is a recent App Store purchase. I bought Numbers on an iWork '09 disk back in 2008/9, but about a week ago decided to uninstall the iWork apps with AppZapper and buy them from the App Store (I just like to have the App Store as the source of my apps, and I had some money to spare). I can’t see why this would cause the problem, but the installation of these apps and the start of the problem seem to co-incide.
I wondered if the problem could be solved by re-creating my spreadsheet in a new Numbers file, so I opened Numbers, selected a blank worksheet and pasted the spreadsheet from the original file into this new one, but it made no difference: the next time I logged into my system, Preview was the default app for the new file as well. The problem persists even with new files created in Numbers, Pages or Keynote that are unconnected with older files and after the App Store purchases.
I would be grateful for any advice the community can offer.
Thank you.

Hello again.
I followed your advice and created another user account, and in that one, Numbers, not Preview, was the default app for my Numbers file. Logging back into my original account, I deleted the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file, and for good measure, the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist.lockfile as well, and reset Numbers as the default app for my Numbers file.
I restarted the system, but found that Preview was now the default app for the file. Perhaps the .plist file needed a second restarting of the system, so I set the default app for the file to Numbers again. I also put Pages, Numbers and Keynote into a new folder called iWork '09, as they used to be before I replaced my shop-bought iWork disk installations with the same apps bought form the App Store. I don't know if this made a difference. I restarted the system and, this time, the default app was Numbers.
Pages and Keynote are also now the default apps for files created by them.
You have been very helpful and I appreciate it. Thank you.

Setting default version for iWork files

I installed the trial version of iWork '09 and decided not to purchase it. I deleted these applications, but when I reset the default version of Numbers to Numbers '08 (v.1.0.3) rather than Numbers '09 (v.2.0) using the "Open with:" then "Change all..." feature in Get Info, it opens correctly only once, and I have to reset it every time. I have the same problem with Pages and Keynote. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Thanks for the response, but this has nothing to do with how files were saved. It has to do with setting the default application used to open any word processing or spreadsheet or presentation file.
In the meantime, I've solved my own problem. I discovered a little application called AppDelete, and after I used this application to delete all of the iWork '09 applications, the defaults were re-set to iWork '08 applications.

Set default filename for file save dialog on Save button click

Hi,
I am using AxAcroPDF (version 9.0) control to view pdf files in windows forms (C#). The pdf loads into the viewer in the form. Now, when I click on the Save button in the viewer, a Save dialog pops up with a default filename having complete path info.
If I have loaded the pdf file into AxAcroPDF viewer with filename:
"C:\Documents and Settings\KB_Kravi\My Documents\CustomerList.pdf"
then in the save dialog, the default filename will be:
"C_Documents_and_Settings_KB_Kravi_My Documents_CustomerList.pdf"
Is there any option to set the default filename in the save dialog to some short name, instead of this lengthy name?
Thanks,
Ravi.

Hi,

How can I set a default save file for scans using the Solution Center?

Using Windows 7 - 64 bit. HP Photosmart Premuim C-309a All-In-One Printer.
Because of a Windows crash, I had to install a new drive and reload Windows. I also reloaded other software like the HP Solution Center & Drivers. My problem is that I can't find how to set a default folder for my scans. This is NOT mentioned in the user manual but it was originally accomplished by HP Tech Support when the printer was new. Can anyone relate how to set default folders for my scans?
Thanks.
Tango
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Here is a document on how to scan through Windows 7.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03476857
Click either solution center or the icon of the printer on your desktop. Here select "Scanner Actions" (or the analogous selection). When the window pops up from the HP software it should provide you with options for file type (.tiff, .pdf, .jpg) as well as resolution and media size. Here on this page there is also an option for you to go to the advanced options. Using this you can alter the default safe folder.
Let me know if that helps you out!

How to set default file path for save

Hello all,
I'm currently blocked on the below issue and is hoping to gain your help and insights.
We have recently upgraded to InDesign CS6. Now when an INDD file created in an older version of INDD is opened in CS6, all the save dialogs would not default to the location of the original INDD file. Though if the same file is opened in the version of InDesign that created it, the save dialog goes to the proper location by default.
Debugged using our custom plugin as a gate way, and found out that after InDesign CS6 performed the document upgrade/convert, the database for the converted document loses file information. i.e. IDataBase::GetSysFile() returns nil. I think we can figure out some way to get the original file path. For example, we can intercept "kAfterOpenDocSignalResponderService", and get the original file path of the opened file from IDocumentSignalData. Though I haven't yet able to figure out a safe way to set this file path to the document, so that the save dialogs would by default point at this path.
Utils<Facade::IWorkgroupFacade>()->InitDocumentAssetManagement(docRef, filePath) seems to do the right thing, but it seems to be quite intruding, and I'm afraid that it is overkilling and will cause bad side effect for the use case I'm looking for.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions to achieve this without implementing/overriding the file save dialog.
Thanks.
-Jeff

You should be able to avoid writing your own open-doc trap by using kDocBoss's IOpenedFileInfo to obtain the original file's path. It seems fairly reliable; the only time I've seen it come up empty is for an opened QuarkXPress document.
I'm afraid I don't know of a sanctioned way to change IDataBase::GetSysFile() without going through the database's SaveAs machinery. Overriding this behavior might only be possible by replacing the regular Save dialog with your own.
But if InitDocumentAssetManagement() is helping, maybe the workgroup/asset management approach is worth pursuing. Have you tried spying on that call in the debug app? You might be able to isolate and use one of the commands that it's invoking (IAMSPManager::BindAsset() / kSetAssetAttributesCmdBoss?) without all of the side-effects of the higher-level call.

How do I set the default file path for the Place command?

I keep my graphics files for each document in a particular folder. Every time I open an existing InDesign document and place a new image I have to browse back to that location - even though all of the previous images in that document came from the same folder. InDesign does not remember the file path that was used previously in the document. This is very annoying.
IS THERE A WAY TO SET THE DEFAULT FILE PATH, OR LOCATION, FOR IMAGE FILES?
I have looked through the preferences, searched the forums and internet, but I have not found any reference to setting default paths. Is there a setting like the one in MS Word called "File Locations" on the Options toolbox?
Thank you.

Since you're working in ID on Windows, you can take advantage of a neat trick in Windows. Copy the file path out of the File Explorer address bar and paste it directly into the Place filename field. That will jump you directly to the desired volume. For example, let's say I want to place a graphic located at X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working Source Files\Links. I copy that entire path from the File Explorer address bar, go to InDesign, select File|Place, and press Control + V to paste that path into the filename field. I press the Open button and Shazam! I'm there instantly, without a bunch of navigation.
You can do the same thing in the File|Save As and File|Export fields. Let's say you want export a PDF file from InDesign to the volume X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working PDF Files. First copy the desired file path from the File Explorer window. In InDesign, select File|Export, click anywhere in the filename field, and press the Home key to move the insertion point to the front of the filename. Press Control + V to paste that path in front of the filename, then add the backslash character (\). The filename will now look like this: X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working PDF Files\Filename.pdf. Press the Save button to bring up the Export Adobe PDF window. Select your desired PDF preset, press the Export button, and the PDF file will magically appear in the desired volume.
This sounds really complicated, but it's not. In practice, it only takes a few seconds. I probably save an hour's worth of needless navigation every day with this technique.

How to set default .PDF file extension for Form Downloads

I am trying to find a way of setting the PDF file extension when I download forms.
I author the forms under a Plus subscription and am then downloading the forms under a basic subscription Collaborator account (diffrent person)
If I don't include .pdf as the file type when downloading a form with a unique name as the Collaborator, it downloads without a file extension.
Remembering to continually add the pdf file extension is a pain so I'm hoping there is away of setting this as a defaulet for my 'collaborator' account ?

Firstly, apologies for multiple posts, I received messages saying my comment hadn't posted and also checked my history before re-submitting.
Okay, the process is
1. Log in as the Author account and I can rename the file without having to set the extension
2. Log in as the Collaboartor account - same PC, browser etc and it doesn't save with a default file extension; HOWEVER, I have done this whilst also being logged in on a diffrent browser as the Author
3 I have just tried logging out as Author and only being in as the collaborator and the form downloaded with a default PDF.
4. I had someone else log in as the collaborator from thei PC and browser whilst I was still signed inunder my author account and again they were unable to save as PDF by default
This has me wondering if there is anything at play when you've got multiple Users?

You could download and install RCDefaultApp 2.1 for all users: check the Read Me and then test it on something to see if it accomplishes what you want.

How to set default path for file open in SQL Developer

Hi,
I am new to Oracle SQL Developer. Everytime when I open a file, it will default to the install directory. It is hurtingmy hand because I have to click back to the folder where I put my sql statements.
Is there any way to set the Home or Work button to point to the location I like? or add anther button to point to my folder? I just don't want to click 5 to 10 times to open a file.

There are a few things. One is that you can set a working directory for any files you run in the SQL Worksheet i.e. @myfile.sql will pick up this directory.
You can also set a preference for exporting files.
Also if you use File -> Open, it should remember where you were the last time, so you hunt the first time, then it remembers for the next time. There is a bug for ctrl-O that always goes back to the original directory, but that has been fixed for the next patch release, so ctrl -O will also remember where you were last.
The differences here are because we are dependent on the IDE from JDeveloper, and so we don't have full control over the Save and Open dialogs. We are aware of this frustration and are planning to change this for a future release.
Regards
Sue
