Defaults file - Change en_GB to en_US

I recently installed CS5 Design Premium on my computer. I also purchased InDesign Classroom in a Book to guide me through learning the software.
Before starting to use the lessons the book advises that I make a backup copy of the InDesign Defaults file and gives the directions on how to locate this file. I followed the directions, but when I got to the file, the name didn't match exactly. It was supposed to be en_US. However, on my computer I have en_GB. Did I install this software in too much haste and select English-Great Britain instead of English-US, or is the problem bigger than this? What must I do to correct this?

Yes. This is the first problem I have encountered (apart from not knowing what I'm doing), and I wouldn't have noticed it except for the need to copy this file so I can avoid messing it up as I use the learning guide, Classroom in a Book. I opened InDesign again to look for an example of the word "colors" and found it spelled "colours" as in the Brittish version.

Changing the default file manager in XFCE

How would I go about using Nautilus as the default file manager in XFCE instead of Thunar? I know it can be started up with 'nautilus --no-desktop', but how do I make this the default when opening folders from the desktop, menus, etc..?
The main reason I want to do this is because Thunar doesn't seem to remember a folders last setting. For example, there are folders which I would like to permanently view as a list, sorted by date; but there are plenty of other folders where this is not suitable. Nautilus remembers settings for each folder, Thunar doesn't, and it gets annoying changing the view mode each time. Also network browsing is easier in Nautilus, and I also like the way it tells you how fast file transfers are going.
Thanks very much,

Well, it might be considered a dirty hack but it has worked for me in gnome before so it should also work in xfce. Just edit the thunar.desktop file in /usr/share/applications and replace the Exec=thunar to Exec=nautilus --no-desktop and save the file. Then any time thunar is launched, nautilus will be launched instead.
Otherwise, you can edit the menu with the menu editor and change the File manager command and do the same in the panel icon properties. Both methods will work.

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"

How can I change the default "file type" in the open file dialog when using Firefox on certain web pages?

I work for a bankruptcy attorney. We use the Court's file upload to file our documents. When I am on the Court's site and I have to pick a file to upload, the "open file" dialog box pops up. In Firefox, the default "file type" is always "image" files. I need it to be "all files". How can I change this setting?

Two observations.
First — "Tools-> ...." is specific to Acrobat X and XI. It did not exist prior to Acrobat X.
Second — Acrobat 9 Pro / Standard (nor earlier release) does not support viewing a PDF page containing a scanned image and performing a right-click ... Save Image As.
The context menu provided by Acrobat 9 Pro with a right-click on a scanned image is:
The context menu,from a right-click with the TouchUp Object tool selected, for Acrobat 9 Pro is:
So, to paraphrase what Paul Harvey used to say ... What's the rest of the story?
Be well...

Is there a way to change the export default file name

I have a request to change the default file name when doing a pdf export of a report. By deault, when pushing the export to pdf button, the name is NONAME.pdf. They want the default name to be the channel name is displayed on the report.
Is there an easy way to do this, or will I have to load all new code into the export button?

What you'll probably want to do is create a script that uses the Call Report.Sheets.ExportToPDF function and programatically specify the name. From here, you could set it as one of the function buttons or even include it on the toolbar if you'd like.

Change the default file (template file in RTF) for a seeded R12 AP report

I have a requirement to change the layout of the a seeded AP report "Selected Payment Schedules report". I logged in as XML Publisher responsibility, queried the seeded template APINVSEL and tried to update "Default file" field to use my own RTF file instead of the seeded APINVSEL.rtf. The field is not changeable. I tried 1) putting end date to the template, 2) disabled the concurrent program or changed the program output format to text instead of XML. I still cannot update the default RTF file after doing any of the above.
Please help. Thanks!
Mike

Garech,
I have the same issue. I copy the data definition with updated rtf. When the user select a template in Payment Manager and submit payment process request, the report is one of the four concurrent programs run automatically. User told me there is no option for her to select the xml template. Any suggestions? Thanks.

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

Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?

Want to change the 'default' extension for PL/SQL source to '*.prc'
When navigating 'File' / 'Save As', and selecting the 'File Type' list box,
The default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File is '*.pls'.
Can I change the default 'File Type' for PL/SQL Source File to '*.prc' ?
I have followed , 'Tools', 'Preferences' , 'File Types' and added '.prc' as 'Sql Script' file type, because (PL/SQL Source) is not present in the list.

You can certainly overwrite the 'Save As' extension as you are saving the file. I have added an ER for more control over this functionality.

Change default file manager in linux

After upgrading to Firefox 10.0 for Linux "Open containing folder" in downloads opens in nautilus and not my default file manager.
I'm not finding how to change this behavior.

File associations are a mess right now. Many programs (Opera included) handle them their own way. There's a project underway to handle associations in a standard way (see MIME actions, shared MIME info, desktop entries, all at freedesktop.org), but not all software uses it; KDE is a notable holdout (3 at least, not sure about 4).
Note that that first spec link, MIME actions, is currently "in the requirements-gathering / early-planning stages." That means there is no spec for that. As I said, a mess.
Most likely, Opera and Thunderbird detected you were running KDE and special-cased their association-finder to ask KDE instead. Now that you aren't, they're falling back to their normal behavior: use the first .desktop file to claim the MIME type. As I recall, both applications offer ways to specify associations in their preferences; you might just want to stick to that for now. Or use a desktop environment.
The kernel-level MIME support is designed to allow execution of strange files using interpreters. For example, you could directly execute Windows applications (as in "./notepad.exe") by setting the kernel to "interpret" application/exe files using wine. No applications use it for opening files.

How can I change the default file format in PSE 10?

I just upgraded from PSE 6 to PSE 10. In the former, the default file format when saving an edited image in the editor was psd. In 10, it is jpg. I prefer to save in psd, which means I have to select psd from the format drop-down menu for each save. I've looked for a way to change the default but can't find one. Is there a way?

Ah, I see that you're right -- editing that doesn't require adding a layer defaults to saving as the original image's file type. Adding a layer causes the default "Save As" file type to switch to PSD.
I don't know of any way to change that.

Screen shots - how do I change the default file type

Screen shots using command, shift, 4: I used to get pdf files from the screen shot command, now I get PNG files. How do I change the default file type from PNG to PDF? PNGs are a pain.

Also, there are utilities like OnyX that will change the screenshot settings.
But this AppleScript is my favorite.

Using lens correction in CS5 changes default file settings

When I use lens correction in CS5, it switches the default file format from jpg to pdf.
Now, that is simple enough to change back for a file or two, but it really messes up any worf flow. Batch processing using an action cannot include a simple "save" because due to the change in format it goes to "save as" and then every file would get named as the first one. If I just choose save and close in the batch options, the dialog to change file types opens after every file and it becomes a hassle. Is there a way to deal with this in a better way? Or is this just a matter of the trial version of CS5?

Hi Joel,
Are you talking about the lens correction batch script as invoked from the File>Automate>Lens Correction...? Can you describe your steps to reproduce the bug?
Thanks,

I want to change the default file type in the Open File dialog - e.g. from Word to All Files

I want to change the default file type in the Open File dialog - most recently specifically in Adobe Acrobat, from Adobe Files to All Files, so I don't have to do it again and again manually. Is this possible? Is it an OS setting or an app-specific setting?

The Apps set the default to the file type it can open, sort of. However, there normally isn't a type specified. All document types that the app can handle will be offered.
Adobe, and Microsoft, tend to roll their own dialogs, so they may not be standard. I don't have Acrobat, so I can't verify that. If Adobe is puting a file type selector in their open file dialogs, it would be up to them to store the preferences.
EDIT: I checked Reader, and i see what you mean. Not terribly useful.

Photoshop Elements 10 - changing default file time
