Export presets now direct me to the "Browse For Folder" dialog box

Suddenly Lightroom will not remember the name of the "export to" folder when I use my export presets in certain ways, even though the name of the "export to" folder appears in the "Export" dialog box. The prolem exists in Library and Develop modules. This is what's happening…
IF I CLICK ON "FILE":
1. And choose the "Export" option, LR displays the Export dialog box, from which I can select an user preset and export a JPG file to the proper folder, as intended. (OK)
2. And choose the "Export with Previous" option, LR exports the JPG file immediately to the proper folder. (OK)
3. And I choose the "Export with Preset option, LR displays the menu of Lightroom presets and user presets, but clicking on a user preset displays the "Browse for folder" dialog box from which I must manually browse to the export folder before a file can be exported. (NOT OK)
IF I RIGHT-CLICK ON THE IMAGE:
LR displays a menu containing these options: Export, Export with Previous, the Lightroom presets, and my user presets.
4. If I then choose "Export," LR works properly---same as example 1 above. (OK)
5. If I then choose "Export with Previous," LR exports the JPG file immediately. (OK)
6. If I then choose one of my presets, LR does not work properly: it acts as it does in example 3 above. (NOT OK)
BACKGROUND:
I have been using these presets for almost a year without fail---they're great! Two days ago I moved my Lightroom catalog to a new external drive. I also renamed the "export to" folder (that new name is stored in the "Export" dialog box).
I sure would appreciate hearing from anyone on this because it's driving me crazy. Thanks.

SOLUTION FOUND:
I created yet another folder for storing exported JPGs. Then for each export preset I used the "Browse For Folder" dialog to point that preset to that new folder. All presets now work as before. This fix was tolerable for the seven presets I have, but a large number of presets would have made it a real chore.

How to open a browse a folder dialog box

Hi,
Please tell me,
how to open a 'browse a folder' dialog box in java SE. I dont need showopenDialog or showSaveDialog methods.
User have to be prompted to select a folder(not a file), and clicks on 'OK'. That path have to come in a text field.
In my program user has to give a folder path....

No!
Never use "Magic Numbers" They may change in a future verison and your code will break. Also anyone who reads your code (that includes you, months/years from now) won't know what the code is supposed to do.

Browse For Folder Dialog

I am trying to display a "Browse For Folder" dialog
Note that this is not the JFileChooser with the DIRECTORIES_ONLY flag
It is this one

There have been several posts over the years on these forums asking similar questions without answers.
I can't believe that noone has ever made one since so many people want this functionality.
There doesn't appear to be one in the Swing Package.
Does anyone know of a free jar that contains this?

JDirectoryChooser
And while we are with choosers, we might also want to try the folowing choosers for colors and dates:

What happened to the option for a dialog box upon closing that allowed for modifying the automatic history clearing options, and how do I get it back?

I no longer find this option in the privacy settings under the Tools/Options menu. Is there a setting I can modify in the config file to reactivate this function?

As I remember, that pop-up box disappeared after Firefox 3.5, as well ask the "Ask me before clearing..." option check box. The items are now automatically cleared that you have selected in ''Firefox button > Options > Options (or Tools > Options) > Privacy > [x] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings''

There is an Extension/Add-on that will display that box when closing Firefox:

Browse for Folder takes 3-1/2 minutes!

I am using LR3.3. Everything seems to work well except when I want to export a photo. I choose "Export To ---> Specific Folder" and then it takes a full 3-1/2 minutes (not seconds, but minutes), which is like an eternity, for the "Browse to Folder" dialog box to pop up. This happens every time. I appreciate your help.

UPDATE: I remembered that when I am at home and want to start my computer, I have to disconnect the internet cable or it takes almost 5 minutes to start Windows. The IT guy in my office told me that this is because the computer is trying, many times, to connect to the office server before giving up and finally allowing Windows to start. So in a moment of inspiration, I turned off the wireless on my computer, started Lightroom and attempted to export a photo. This time, the folder box appeared as fast as lightening! This is great, except now I must disconnect from the internet each time. Do you have any ideas?In any case I'm feeling good that we're making progress on this conundrum.

"Browse for Folder" Issue

Has anyone else had the problem where they cannot go to any subfolders in their "Browse for Folder" dialog box?
I have all of my photos organized by year and then by month.
I have made changes to various photos and want to save them. However, when I go to export my changes, I can only export to my "Main" folder. When I click on the plus (+) sign, nothing happens besides the plus (+) sign disappearing. Nothing locks up.
For now, I am saving to my main folder and then manually moving them to the folder I want them in.
Thanks,
-Lou

All I'm trying to do is find a folder to export my modified photo to.
For example, I pull up photo DSN_5678. It was imported from My Pictures\2007\06-June folder. I make my changes to the image and now want to "save" the changes so I can have it available for other users on my network. (NOTE: Ignore the network comment since I use another program to backup my pictures to my network from my local hard drive. I keep all my pictures on my local hard drive and back up to a server for everyone else to see and use.)
When I click on Export, the dialogue box comes up just as it should.
I then click on the "Choose..." button in order to change the directory. When I go to "choose" the folder I want to save/export the image to, it doesn't allow me to select any other folders than the ones listed in the "Browse for Folder" dialogue box (My Computer, My Pictures, Shared Documents and a few others that I do not want my pictures saved to). Everytime I click on the plus (+) sign to expand the tree, nothing happens beside the plus (+) sign disappearing.
Any suggestions?

Browse for folder

Hi all,
I was using "JFileChooser" for selecting a directory by setting it's selection mode to "DIRECTORIES_ONLY".
But, we noticed that the users are getting a little confused with the "JFileChooser" when they have to select a directory. And Windows OS uses something called the "Browse for folder" control which shows all the directories in a Tree structure and the users are less confused by this component.
So, is there any swing component which looks like the "Browse for folder"???
Thank you.

The GET_FILE_NAME built-in allows you to search for a directory as well as a file - check out the on-line help for it.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Site Preferences
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-browsing-search-and-download-history
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
If you have software like Advanced SystemCare (Surfing Protection feature) that might reset some files to older versions to protect these files against changes then check the settings or uninstall this software.

How do i disable the open/save image dialog box in firefox? I want to directly save the image file to the drive.

How do i disable the open/save image dialog box in firefox? I want to directly save the image file to the drive without clicking on save option everytime when saving an image. I'm using firefox ver 35.0.1 for windows 7.

Click on the Firefox menu. Then click "Options". Go to "Applications" tab. Search for jpg and png file type. You will find they have "Always ask" action attribute. Change it to "Save file".
Hope it will work fine for you.

I have a feeling it may have something to do with HotMail.com.

When the same text is view in another browsers it appears correctly as "two/".
I've checked, and the same problem appears in Firefox on another computer.
The two answers received so far have not provided an answer: is this a known bug in Firefox?
Thank you.

You are on a Mac and that is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning kerning] problem. Don't you see the same problem in other applications if you choose the same font, font-weight and font-size.
I only find one other kerning [https://support.mozilla.com/questions/789254 question] here -- it is marked unsolved. I find it strange that Firefox got involved with this at all rather than leaving such things to the operating system and font metrics.
Does the problem go away with "command+0" (zero) which resets [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages zoom level] to normal. If you mess with the font sizes in your preferences because you want larger print that would have the same effect.
Also found this one recently reported for [https://support.mozilla.com/questions/892222 Firefox 7 in ubuntu 11.04] which appears much worse. If it involves Firefox and specific operating systems it becomes a lot harder to diagnose who or what is responsible.

OTN brings up pages quickly, then locks up the browser for 20+ seconds.

I am running IE7 on Windows XP. When I go to OTN the page will display quickly but then locks up the browser for over 20 seconds. During that 20 seconds it is pegging one of my 2 CPUs. I have tried on a Win7 machine running IE8 and it works fine there. I tried a FireFox 2.0.0.4 on a Citrix platform and that worked fine. When I tried IE7 on Citrix that exhibited the same 20 second delay as IE7 on my desktop. So possibly IE7 related.
I've tried emptying all the browser caches, cookies, history etc. That did not help.
I have a SysInternals Process Monitor log file of the problem if you are interested.
I have also opened an SR SR 3-6249649411 related to this problem but they tell me it needs to be handled through this forum.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
It's a little confused about "Ever since then my computer locks up for 10 to 30 seconds, mainly for internet related tasks"?
Did you give us a screenshot? Did you mean it freeze when browsing the Internet Explorer?
If yes, try this:
Windows 8.1, Windows 8 or Windows 7 hangs or freezes("My computer hangs or freezes when browsing in Internet Explorer" section)

Problem with Copy To/Browse for Folder

Don't know when it started doing this, but now when I right-click and select Copy To and select Browse for Folder it only shows me folders that are under my W7 user name.
I need to get to my external drive, but it doesn't display Computer.
Strange and very inconvenient.
Looking for a solution.

Hmm, can't imagine how my workspace would relate to what drives Bridge reads using the Copy To. My drives show up just fine in the folders view. And also in the Export to dialog.
I keep my images on an external drive.
Folders that are not under my user name on C drive, but still on another drive show up in the recent ones in Copy To and access just fine.
So it makes no sense that Copy To>Browse for Folder only displays my drive C Windows user folder on that other drive.

How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???

How do you use the Multiple Item Information dialog box ???
Where are the instructions on how the information in the Multiple Item Information dialog box equates to ...
1. The way iTunes sorts tracks and albums
2. The reason to select a leading check box
3. Why there are Option selections (Yes /No) and leading check boxes.
4. Why some changes remain in the track info, but do not "take effect" in iTunes (Part of a compilation is an example)
Looked in Help, Support, went to the local Genius bar for an hour, even arrainged a call from apple support ...
Thanks

As Christopher says, it's a compilation. Different tracks are by different artists.
Setting the *Album Artist* field to *Various Artists* and setting *Part of a compilation* to Yes should be all that is required. Depending on your *Group compilations when browsing* setting ( I recommend On ) either should suffice but I suggest doing both.
Based on your commentary, I selected all the "O Brother" tracks, and checked the boxes for everything line that was blank in the Info and the Sort panes. Only exceptions were the album name and the disc number 1 of 1 and the artwork. I blanked and checked anything else.
That's not what I meant. When you select multiple tracks, only those values which +are already common+ to all tracks are displayed. Typically these will include Artist, though not with compilation albums, Album Artist, Album, No. of Tracks, Genre plus various sort fields. A blank value may indicate that different tracks have different values or it may be that the value is blank for all tracks. For the drop down values on the Options tab the value shown may not reflect the information in every tag. If values you expect to be common, such as Album Artist or the Album title are not displayed you can simply type these in and click OK. This will often be enough to group the album.
If you place a checkmark against the blank boxes and apply changes then you will clear those fields so you should only do this if that is the effect you want. Putting a checkmark next to an empty (representing different values) *Track No.* box, for example, will just clear the all the track numbers which is very rarely useful.
Adding then removing extra text is for a specific problem where despite all common values being identical across the tracks of the album iTunes seems to "remember" that it should see two albums. A typical example would be when an album originally listed as *Album CD1* & *Album CD2* is given disc numbers X of Y and then has the Album name changed to Album. I've seen iTunes merge all but one track into the new album, but insist on listing one remaining track separately, despite both albums having the same title. In this case I've found overtyping the album title again has no effect whereas changing it to AlbumX and then back to Album does what I was trying to achieve in the first place.
Don't forget that even properly organsied albums may still break up if you don't chose an album-friendly view. Sorting on the track name or track number columns can be useful in some circumstances but in general I revert to Album by Artist when browsing through my library.

How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?

How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?
Here's my favorite scenario:
1. User clicks button
2. Save As dialog displays
3. User chooses location
4. A set of PDF files download to that location OR a single zip file downloads
Background:
I want to ensure the user sees that files are being downloaded. I'm delivering content to users who may not be Web savvy.
Concern:
1. User has no clue how to find downloaded files or that files have even downloaded.
2. I'd like to deliver the set as zip files. Not sure if self-opening zip files still exist.
FYI:
I'm using jQuery UI buttons. Not sure if that factors into response.

Just for clarity, I'm not forcing a download. The user will click a button.
Click a button or click a link, either way you're technically executing a script to force a download.
I'm assuming that's the php file resident on the server.
Yes but that's only part of it. Once the contact form executes, another script is called up which opens the browser's download dialogue.
Is there a php script for simply calling the Open/Save dialog box?
Yes.
<?php
/* This short script forces a file download.
   For simplicity, it's intended to be used for a single file.
   You can use multiple copies of this file (with unique names)
   with different variable values to use it with multiple files.
   Use of this script has a side-effect of hiding the location of the
   file on your server.
// full server path to file to be downloaded (including filename)
$Path2File = "path/to-file-on-server.zip";
// the filename
$theFileName = "name-of-file.zip";
//the work gets done here
header ("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header ("Content-Length: " . filesize($Path2File));
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$theFileName");
readfile($Path2File);
?>
Name this file zip2download.php.
