Enhancement: remember the last "Save As" directory

It's extremely annoying and time wasting to have to keep re-selecting the directory I want rather than the default directory chosen by SQL Developer when doing a "Save As" in the SQL Script editor, as well as e.g. the Code page when looking at the SQL for an object such as a package body. This could be fixed simply by remembering the last directory selected.

A few of the most recent locations are saved as shortcuts on the left-hand side of the the save dialogue box.

Firefox doesn't remember the last used download directory that I saved to when it restarts!

Even when I have firefox set to ask me where to save files, it's default location is still the folder selected under "download options", instead of the last location I saved to.
I suspect that this has something to do with the "download.lastdir" option in "about:config", which disappears everytime it's restarted and only appears when I have saved a file before checking on it.
Firefox used to remember the last location in which a file was saved. This was simpler and more convenient.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed version 3.6.6

Deleting "browser.download.lastDir" makes firefox unusable.
It's very annoying. I'm sick of the update to 3.6. It's getting worse with each minor update.
Hour after hour researching about this odd behavior sucks!

How do I get Muse to remember the last directory when accessing files?

When I use Muse, I can't get it to remember the last directory or folder I used to access site assets. Every time I go back to access another image or document, explorer has me navigate from the "My Documents" folder to my project folder instead of remembering the last folder I accessed for that Site Project (like most software does).
How do I set Muse to remember my project's folder within a session instead of having me navigate through the My Documents folder back to the project folder every time I want to access a new asset.
Thanks.

How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?

This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
My issue: I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in. I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory. Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.

There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.

FileDialog() +how to remember the last location in Windows NTand Win98?

Hi, folks:
I used FileDialog() to open file, I need to remember the last location which is opened in the last time loaded. In windows 2000 and XP, it works fine. However, in Windows 98 and NT, it never remeber the last location, instead always return back to "Desktop".
Have you anyone faced the same problem and solved already?
Thanks.
Paul

Well, the easiest way I know of to save a location is to make a small configuration file, like the windows ini's and save the position in it. I've not worked much with the FileDialog(), but this sounds like it may be a way around your headache.

What steps do I need to take for the iPod mini to remember the last song?

What steps to I have to take for my iPod mini to remember the last song that I played from an album when I turn it on again, after I have turned it off.
Whenever I turn my iPod mini off, it seems to go back to the main menue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on how long you are leaving it turned off. If it's more than enough time for the iPod to go into deep sleep, then when next you turn it on, it restarts with the Apple logo and returns to the main menu.
If it's only for a few hours that you leave it turned off, then the iPod should resume from the point at which you left it.
I don't know for sure whether the "remember playback position" in iTunes works after the iPod has been in deep sleep.

Preview doesn't remember the last page opened

I have noticed that Preview doesn't remember the last page of the PDF documents after 30 mins of usage (or opening up several PDF files). Is there any way to make Preview always remember the last page of files irrespective of time the file was last used and number of PDF files opened? I think in SL-ML era this was probably the case but since Mavericks it seems to have changed.

How can i let firefox not to remember the last page that i've closed?

At the beginning, Firefox asked me wither to remember the last page that i've closed or not. i accidently chose yes, but i dont know how to change it back.

The [[passwords]] article shows how to delete individual usernames/passwords.

Can't remember the last time I shut down properly!

Well, my story may be similar to others around here so I will make it quick. I got my MBP 17" 2.33 Core 2 Duo last December, and all was running smooth as it should. During this time I had also bought myself a Netgear 802.11n router and some 11n PCI cards for some PC's in the house. So when the update became available for the macbook pro to enable 11n wireless networking, I jumped on it. Probably a little too soon I'm guessing as a result of the problems I have had since.
I have been keeping everthing up to date, such as the airport 2007-002 update, 10.4.9 update etc etc. But I honestly cannot remember the last time I have shut this thing down because the system will lock up at random intervals, when doing different tasks, and I am forced to hold the power button until it turns off. I can't imagine doing this over and over is doing the macbook any good, so if anyone has a solution to this drama and how I would go about doing it that would be awesome. Thanks

Been waiting all evening for this, haha, but yes it crashed again. I had connected to my PC drive for the sake of stress-testing, streamed some video etc from it but it seemed to do fine. And I just left that open for the rest of the night. That connection eventually dropped but I am pretty certain that was due to the the computer going to sleep.
About half an hour later it crashed, MSN locked up/signed out and i got the beachball when moving the cursor over the top right bluetooth/network/vol/batt buttons. Below is a section of the log from when i started monitoring it (i didn't include all the start up jargon) up until it crashed. Hope this can help you help me, thanks.

Fireworks won't remember the open/save as window size?

Hi,
Fireworks won't remember the open/save as window size. It always displays the same small window size. Deleting the preferences hasn't helped?
Thanks.

Thanks for the response.
Yes good point. It's Fireworks CS6 v 12.0.0.274 on Mac OSX v10.9.5.
I didn't have this issue with CS5.5 on 10.9.5, only started with CS6.
Anyway, you're probably right re living with it.
Maybe someone has experienced the same issue and found the reason.
Thanks again.

How can I remember the last place I browsed? When I return to the main page it would be great if a marking of some kind would show the last place I browsed.

When I return to the main browsing page after checking a site it would be great if the last place I checked would highlight on the main browsing page or have an indicator of some sort to let me know.
When returning to the Browsing page it is difficult to remember which link I clicked on and have to guess or start over again so can someone let me know how to do this if it can be done?
Can't remember but I think that you can do this with Internet Explorer.
Thank you.

I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do but firefox calls favorites bookmarks, and has a variety of methods of making, sorting and displaying these, it also stores your 'history' and lets you see that or use it in the location bar search.
Have a look at some of the following
* [[Bookmarks]] <-- coloured text is a clickable link --
* [[Location bar autocomplete]]
*[[Browsing basics#w_retracing-your-steps]] <-- this is a long article it will scroll up and down once opened

Using cookies to remember the last 2 links visited

Hey everyone,
I am trying to use learn JSP and cookie. I am making a webpage, and it is suppose to remembers the last 2 links selected from the website.
Basically, there are a few radio buttons. The user is to pick one, press submit. I am trying to write a cookie to "remember" that action so that the next time that user comes, there should be a link that says these are the last 2 pages visited.
Having not much JSP experience, I would like some assistance in building this kind of a website. It is very simple (Just a table with 2 columns - left for menu, right for navigation).
I was wondering if someone could help me with this.
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone please give me some code samples how can i do that.And what prevents you from searching the web ?

Placing an image, remembering the last image import position

Sometimes i can have a folder with 200 images in it, i have to place these images into my picture boxes within my indesign doc one by one.
Each time i go to place the next image, the pop "place" window defaults to the top of the list. ;(
So what im asking, is there a script out there or a fuction which will allow the pop up "place" window to remeber the last image i imported or placed??
This will save me having to scroll down to find my last image placed each time. this will save me loads of time on massive cataloge jobs i work on - it's really tetitious finding the last position every time.
Just something ive been wondering for a while now.
Any help would be great
Ricky

Why not select all the images you need at one time? ID allows you to select multiple images, then drop them from the loaded cursor one by one. If the next one in the cursor prview is not the one you want, press an an arrow key to cycle through. Press esc to remove an image from the cursor.

SmartView 11.1.2 not remembering the last selected Planning page member

Am I missing something here?
In Planning web forms, if I have a dimension called "Cost Center" in the Page section of the POV of Form A, and I select Cost Center 12345, and then navigate from form A to form B, and form B has Cost Center in the Page section of the POV, Cost Center 12345 is still selected.
This is standard Planning behavior and is selected in the Preference "Remember selected page members".
However, when I do this in SmartView, all of my POV selections are reset to the last level zero member, every time, for every dimension. I am using IDescendants(dimname) to populate my Page selectors, and then using security to limit the members.
I am logged in as the application owner.
The version of Smartview is 11.1.2.0.0.1 (Build 003).
The connection to Planning is shared.
I have tried this on ad-hoc and "normal" forms; the behavior is the same.
Someone please tell me I'm overlooking some incredibly obvious setting. If you come to KScope, I will gladly buy you the beverage of your choice.
Regards,
Cameron Lackpour

Hi Cameron,
I can confirm seeing this as well. It reminds me of the (IMHO) quirky behavior of the Copy POV functionality. It seems like a functionality disconnect somehow.
This sounds like a a good subject to discuss at the Kscope Symposium! :)

For the third time now i save a project and i close the program then i cant find the last save am tired of this **** do something c'mon

am working on a very important project for about a week now then i did some updates on it that took me almost an hour and a half after i save i don't find the file then gladly i found the last auto save that didnt include the last work i did but this is not the first time and its sooooo annoying please if you may., do something
premierprocs6

If you just hit Save its saves in the project file you are working on.
I would not rely on auto save.
Best is to also do a Save a Copy to another drive after each edit session.
And please write the punctuation. Very difficult for a non-English person to read.
