Do I have to specify scratch disc location each time?

hi all ive just finally found my self in a position to have a dedicated hard drive for cache, scratch disks etc.. WHen I create a new project I go to the scratch discs tab and specify the hard drive as the location for them, however I find myself having to do this every time i create a new project.. can I not set it to default to there, if so could somebody explain how?
many thanks

The answer is "no" and "yes".
If you put your cache where you put your projects then each time you create a project, your cache will follow.  That is probably not a good idea for most people, but it is not bad if you store your projects on a separate drive specifically set up for the purpose of putting projects and cache.
If it is not a good idea for you, then you may find that you want to do what I do. I have a few project templates I use. They are not officially templates, but I think of them that way. They have all of the settings I like to use, they have the right number and the right type of tracks, they store the cache on a specific drive set up for that usage, they have some generic footage with certain effects applied so I can copy those efects when I need them, and they have my logo, and intro music.
When I want to create a new project, I merely copy the directory that the project is in and open the project in the new directory. That probably saves me 10 minutes of gathering resources and another few minutes of set up. Every time.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

  • Have IMAC, Mountain Lion mail. Each time I open mail, the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google" followed by a request for a password of an acct that was previously deleted. How do I get rid of the message? Thanks

    I have an IMAC, Mountain Lion. Each time I open my mail, a message box appears with the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google", followed by Enter the password for the user   *****@gmail.com. The full account that appears is an account that I had previously deleted. I cannot prevent the message box from appearing. What do I have to tweak in order for this annoying box to keep reappearing. I have deleted everything I know of in Google mail and my IMAC mail. Thanks for any feedback

    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Window ▹ Connection Doctor
    Look for the unwanted SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
    If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

  • What can I do to have my AppStore ID Password asked each time I download an app ?

    What can I do to have my AppStore ID Password asked each time I download an app ?

    Apple just recently changed the authentication process to NOT ask for username/password, at least when installing a *free* App or updating one that was free.
    In iOS 6, (at least, I don't remember if it was in iOS 5), you can set the amount of time before a password is again requested:
    Settings>General>Restrictions>Require Password: Immediately. Not having used this, I don't know if it will ask for a password everytime. You might want to give it a shot.

    Record about my phone (bought in Verizon store and connected to Verizon for 4 years) has been corrupted and now I can not make any changes to my data plan. Several sessions with the technical support and management have not resolved this issue. Each time technical people and top managers promised that this issue will be resolve tomorrow and they will cal me. Nothing happend!! I can not even cancel my service not just to upgrade it. Completely locked. 
    Any advice?
    Thanks.
    Alex.

    Cannot figure out what your talking about since it makes no sense.
    If you are the account owner you can go to the My Verizon web portal http://www.verizonwireless.com
    You must log in with your cell number and your my Verizon portal password. Not the account pin.
    Once there you can change your plan and services. However repeated incorrect login attempts will lock you out of the site. It a fraud prevention measure.
    1-800-922-0204 call support with your cell number and or account number and account pin and they can assist you.
    If you don't have the information then there is nothing they can do.
    If you can verify who you are they may be able to reset your account access. But only if you are the account owner.
    Good Luck

  • Installation/scratch disc location query

    back since PS7, i've followed a bit of advice i found on a site in that PS was installed on a separate partition to the opsys, and the scratch discs were elsewhere too.
    I'm putting in a new 120gig SSD and a 500gig normal drive tomorrow, obviously Win7 (64bit) will be on the SSD, is it worth partitioning that up and putting PS CS5 separate or does it not matter nowadays?
    cheers

    There's no good reason to partition your SSD; it likely wouldn't help or hurt performance either way, but your free space will be divided up, and 120 GB is none too much to start with.
    You definitely DO want the Photoshop scratch drive to be physically different than the drive on which your opsys swap file is resident, though.
    Assuming your SSD will be C: and your 500 GB drive will be D:...
    Some of Adobe's software ALWAYS installs on drive C:, but I've heard that if you work at it you can get Photoshop installed on D: (I don't remember the specifics of the installer, though).  It might be helpful to install Photoshop on the separate hard drive, simply because Windows may ultimately want to grow and grow until that 120 GB is mostly used up.  A Photoshop CS5 installation chews up 1 GB or more of disk space.

  • Firefox 3.6.8 on Windows XP crashes each time after it is opened. It remains open for about 1 minute and closes regardless of the page it is on. Windows Expl is having the same problem. I have a submitted a crash report each time w/same email.

    I have sent a crash report each time with my hotmail address. That should include the specifics you are looking for. I am sending this email from personal laptop so I do not have those specifics at this time.
    Using ccleaner and Macafee I have run scans and can detect no virus or malware.

  • Opening Numbers and getting the same page size and location each time

    Can someone help me with something which is pretty basic, please?
    When I open a Numbers spreadsheet which I use frequently, each time it opens as a tiny box and always has to be resized and repositioned onscreen before I can start work.
    I figure there must be something I can do to have it open in the same screen position and the same size each time, but what?

    Hi Norman,
    Your tags show OS X Mavericks 10.9. The latest version of Mavericks is 10.9.2
    Are using Numbers 3.0 ? The lates version of Numbers is 3.1 and it does save the zoom.
    Maybe this will help, but it does not work in Numbers 3.0
    Numbers > Preferences > General > Default Zoom > 100% (or whatever % you want).
    And Save your document before closing to retain the zoom and position.
    The Numbers *window* size can not (yet) be saved, but the zoom and the position within a sheet can be saved in Numbers 3.1
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Why do I have to use a new disk each time I update my Back Up

    Hey gang,
    Is there a way to add to the same RW DVD disk when backing up my itunes? I don't even come close to filling the disk with a full back up let alone having to use a new disk each time. What a waste of good space!!! What gives?
    Bolderwise

    Have you considered using either a jump drive or a portable hard-drive to back up your iTunes files?
    In the beginning, I was using a 8GB jump drive to back up my iTunes music folder. I ran out of space on that, so I purchased a 250GB portable hard drive and have been backing up my iTunes music folder on that. Very easy.....you just put the USB port of the hard-drive into your computer...COPY your iTunes music folder from the computer and PASTE it to the portable hard-drive.
