File Save Location Enhancement

I've been looking through forum posts and feature requests relating to file save behaviour and default file locations and reached the conclusion that either they weren't specific enough or were part of some larger scheme I didn't agree with. So I've posted a new feature request which would provide my preferred behaviour and, from what I understand of other posts and requests, is flexible enough to be configured to meet those of others.

By default they go to your "Downloads/ My Downloads" system folder. Anything beyond that we cannot know if you changed soemthing...

Print Adobe PDF: Choose file save location

Currently, when I select Print, then select Printer: Adobe PDF 9.0, and press Print, the PDF file is saved to my Desktop. Where is the preference setting to save the PDF file somewhere of my choosing?

Thanks Lady Designer, your method works. However, it's too many steps for what I'll need to do. I have approximately 200 e-mail messages to print to file. It'd be much faster to select a message, Command+P, Enter, and continue with the next message. Your method requires the additional steps of clicking on the PDF button and selecting Save As PDF.
You're probably thinking, "Why doesn't he just select all the messages and print once?" I tried that.
When I choose to the PDF button and Save As PDF, no matter how many multiple messages I choose, only one of the messages turns into a PDF file. The other messages, despite being (apparently) processed, do not become PDF files. In fact, they become nothing; I know what happens to them.
When I choose to print using Adobe PDF 9.0 as my printer, I'm not given the opportunity to select a destination for multiple files; they automatically print to the Desktop. All the messages, however, do become PDF files.
Unless there's a way to select a file destination to which the Adobe PDF 9.0 printer can default, my choices are to either print-to-file each message one at a time; or print all the messages at once with the one method that works, but that will flood my Desktop with a couple hundred file icons. Although the mess lasts as long as it would take to gather the files into a new folder, I prefer to save myself the trouble.

Temp file save location

1st Why is Itunes creating so many temp files?
2nd Can I change where Itunes saves these file? They are saving on "my music" folder which is part of our server, wasting valuable space. If I have to have these files I would like to save them to my C: drive where my music is actually stored.

The right side column "More like this" leads to some discussions with temp-file problems. For instance here an useful answer: https://discussions.apple.com/message/12995935#12995935 and here https://discussions.apple.com/message/6162742#6162742
It seems iTunes has problems to write to the correct file (.itl) and creates temp-files. The fix would be to "unblock"/enable the writing process again, so you don't get any temp-files and don't need to store them someplace else.

Export file save location

Hi Guys,
I want to know where exactly the export file gets saved.
I have created a sample application on my personal system. It is ASO cube , i exported the application but i am not able to locate the file on the system. I would also like to know if the file saved will in which format.
I am just learning the Essbase , so any help would be great.
regards
Ram

Hi Ram,
1- Enter the name of the export file. By default, the export file is given a .txt file extension. If you want to append a different extension to the file, enclose it in single quotation marks. Do not enclose the file name in double quotation marks.
2- By default, Export file is stored in the application directory (ARBORPATH\app). If you want to store the export file in a different location, specify the full path for the location.
3- To export data in parallel, specify a comma-separated list of export files. The number of threads used depends on the number of file names you specify.
Hope it answers you.
Atul K,

Has Adobe Reader XI solved the File Save As Location issue

Hi, As has been mentioned on a few threads, Adobe Reader X did not remember the last File Save Location. And this causes a bit of angst amongst my users. Can anyone tell me if this has been fixed in XI. I don't have permision to downlaod and install to try it at work.

"Save as" doesn't have a default location. The base protocol for "Save as" enables a "browse" window by default in most ANY application.
"Save" will save the file in its original location, but there is no preference for "Saving as".

Save Location - Premiere Crashes

Hi all,
Having a few issues getting started with PE 10. I am trying to get PE 10 installed and working in our classrooms. I get to the part where you want to create a new project and select the save location. As soon as a user clicks on the 'Browse' button, we get an error and the application closes down.

Our home directories (My Documents) are network mapped drives.
I have tried the usual uninstall/reboot/install methods, each with the same problem.
Is there a config file/registry entry where I could set a default file save location?
Does anyone have any idea why it might be doing this? Even better, someone with a fix would be great!
Many thanks,
Chris.

Has it to do with networked mapped drives?
Not in my case. But,
Time consuming googling and much trial and error and irritations offered a working solution in this case.I suppose this is included the price and goes with the delivery.
It was on some thread on PRE version 8 or something, where on the same problem someone suggested to create a new account and start PRE.
Remarkably, among dozens of other well-meant, but not working solutions, this one worked:
- Create a new account - any name (for safety's sake with administrative rights)
- Logg off and log on with the new account
- Start up PRE
- Choose New Project
This time default location was not grayed out: it showed: C:\Users\newaccountname\AppData\roaming....
Moreover: clicking the browse button to save the project on a different directory or partition did not result in te 'serious error' message, as did before.
So I saved the project in a new created directory on a different partition and changed the drive-preferences also to this directory. (hoping the problem was solved when I log in with my original account).
So:
- create an new directory for the PRE project somewhere else (not in 'users')
- browse to save the new project in this directory
- change the preferences (edit>prefereneces>media+workdisk) so that all the locations refer to the directory of the newly created project (later to be changed if necessary)
- close PRE
But the next step to log off, log in on my first original account and start up PRE again resulted in the same error as before.
However, the saved project of my newly created account was still there in the directory I saved it in (extension: .prel).
So I tried to open PRE by clicking on this file with the extension .prel. PRE opened with no problem.
So:
- log off and log in with the original account
- search for the new project file (extension .prel) and open PRE by clicking on the new project file.
Then I saved the project again in the same directory, started up PRE and choosed New Project. This time the default location was not grayed out;
it showed the directory from where I started up PRE with the file .prel. The browse button (to safe to a different location) worked.
Then I erased the newly created account completely, logged off and in and started PRE from startmenu>programs. No problems.
Finally:
- save the the project again and close PRE
- erase the newly created account(with account managament + manually delete directory \users\newaccountname
- log off and log in on the original account
- open PRE from startmenu>programs
It is hardly to imagine, since this problem exists since PRE8 or earlier, this amateuristic way of installing PRE is part of the deal. Nor any solution has been suggested by Adobe since then, nor apparently taken into account in their new versions/updates.
Disappointing.

Pre-configure save location for converting files to PDF from shell context menu

Hi all,
I like Acrobat's integration into the Windows Explorer through the shell context menu command "Convert to PDF", which allows me to drag select a number of files (word documents et cetera) to batch convert them into PDF. It beats doing batch processing fr the Acrobat interface.
However, it asks me for the save location of each file individually. I would like to have them saved in the same directory as the original file, as the default option so I won't have to attend to the conversion. I can't find such an option in Acrobat's preferences menu though
Any gurus or users here know of a way around that?
Regards,
Jay

Does your user have custom add-ons besides the Acrobat PDFMaker add-on? If so, try disabling the other add-ons as a test to see if you get the same results.
Does your user have a custom template? Try moving it out and using the standard MS Word template as test?
Did your user have a previous installation of Adobe Acrobat?? If so, check the Add-ons to see if an older version is still registered with MS Word.

Save as/Save does not point to file open location for the file

Hi,
Working with large number of files it's imperative that I can rely on the software's ability to know where open files are located on disk, so that when needed I can save all open files to their original locations. Unfortunately CS6 wil save all open files to the location of the last saved file!
Even after a power out, or CS6 crash, all the recovered files will point to the directory last document was saved to!!
This means that if I have 10 open files from 10 different folders, they will all be saved to one folder, in which maximum one of the 10 files have been opened from and I will not know where they are if I follow their original file location (e.g from Lightroom import from camera).
This generates a very time consuming manual workaround, in which I must file-by-file open the correct folder in Save as dialogue.
Using "Save As to Original Foder" has no meaning selected or de-selected.
I don't know of any other software that suppresses original file location in save/save as...
How do I disable this unproductive and illogical malfunction?
Morten

Okay, doing what you outlined, I'm getting the same result. It's acting like the file you open is a new file that hasn't been saved, and that always defaults to the last saved location. I'm not saying it should be like this, but I think it is default behavior. Only advice I can offer is to put in a feature request:

The squeeky wheel gets the oil, so let them know.

Where are download file stored before I select a save location? It looks like it starts the download before I choose a location.

I noticed that downloads start before I select a save location. Where are these files stored?

Firefox starts a download immediately in the background to the OS %temp% folder.

What's the save location for iweb files?

Click on download of pdf opens adobe acrobat reader, but then clicking on file save-as does not give a dialog box to change the name or location where it is sav

Using Firefox 19.02
When I receive an email with an Excel, Word, or PDF file attachment, and I click download, firefox opens up the associated program for all my users, however when you click on file>save-as you are not presented with the dialog box to perform a save.
Excel and Word, no fix at all. Other than different browser or to click download, right click and go to folder, and then copy it out of there to another folder and open it.
Help, what is going on here????

Adobe Reader X save location issue

Hi All, i would like to seek expert helps on Adobe Reader save location issues. After we upgrade from Adobe Reader 9 to Adobe Reader X.
There are changes on how save location works in Adobe Reader X
If save PDF via Internet Explorer – the save location will according to last save location, HOWEVER
If save PDF via Adobe Reader X – the save location will set according to location the file is being open
Let me show you what i mean over the pictures
I open a reader_X_help.pdf using Adobe Reader X and then save the file using Ctrl+Shift+S at: C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My last location save
refer my last save location.jpg
Now i want to save another new file back to C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My last location save, I open the file Adobe file2.pdf located at desktop and when i do Ctrl+Shift+S, the location point to my desktop and not C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My last location save
refer my last save location change to desktop.jpg
I have tested this features in Adobe Reader 9 and it's different whereby it's will point according to my last location save.
There is no issue with computer as i have 3 machine running different enviroment, Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 Enterprise, and all using same version of Adobe Reader X version 10.0.1.
So my questions & concern:
Is there any way to change the save location features same as Adobe Reader 9?
If YES, how to do it? By Computer Changes or Adobe Reader X packages modification using Adobe Customization tools?
If NO, Where can i find this source of documentation stated about this new changes so i can publish this information in HP website as new design changes to avoid complaint or negative feedback.
Looking forward for expert reply as soon.
Thank you very much and Have a great day.
Best Regards

Solved it!
1-go to "edit", select Preferences.
2-select from the left pane: Security (enhanced)
3-click on "add folder path" button just below the big white box
4-pick a folder of your choice and click "ok". (your selected folder path will appear in that white box above the "add folder path" button in step 3)
5-if you want to add additional folders, just repeat steps 3 & 4
6-once you are done, click "ok" on the preferences screen and click "ok" again to accept the changes.
Yes, it seems illogical, but it worked.
I tested by closing the Reader (X), then surfed the web and did what Neher5 was explaining he/she wanted to do just after opening a pdf from a website and lo-and-behold, it worked!. No more "save to temp folder" issues.
Hope this helps.

OS x lion Save location issue

In the past version of os x when I would attempt to save as the file location folder would automatically take me to the same folder as the original. Now with OS X Lion it automatically takes me to the last save location. Then I have to search my computer for the correct file folder and then save. Is there a way to change this back to automatically going to the location of the original file instead of the last save location.
I work with many documents from many different folders all day and it is a real hassel to constantly have to remember to go and find the correct folder each time I save.
Thanks for your help.

Don't have a solution for you, but if you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

TWO CRITICAL BUGS: 1) File, "Save Page As" and 2) right-click the picture and select "Save Image As", both do not work at all in Firefox 27, 28, and 29!

Note: capitals are used only to highlight important words.
PLEASE, TAKE THESE COMMENTS ON TWO CRITICAL BUGS VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE THE BUGS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE SO CRITICAL THAT I CANNOT USE THE LATEST VERSION OF FIREFOX UNLESS THEY DO NOT APPEAR IN THE LATEST VERSION AND THEREFORE I AM FORCED TO REVERT BACK TO FIREFOX 26.
I have Windows 7 64-bit and Firefox 26. I could not install Firefox 27, 28, and 29 due to the persistent presence of the two critical bugs described below. I have 8 GB of RAM and an Intel quad-core processor and a lot of hard disk space available.
I installed Firefox 27 and then Firefox 28 a while back and these two bugs described below were still present and now I have just checked again with Firefox 29 by installing it and yet again, these two bugs described below are present!! UNBELIEVABLE THAT THESE TWO CRITICAL BUGS ARE STILL PRESENT IN FIREFOX 29 WHEN I CLEARLY INFORMED YOU ABOUT THEM IN THE HELP, SUBMIT LINK OF FIREFOX!!
I am forced to revert to Firefox 26!
First, I use Windows 7 64-bit and I always use Firefox with at least 120 tabs opened. BUT I have 8 GB of RAM, an Intel core i7 quad-core processor and more than 1 TB of hard disk space. Consequently, I do not understand why I would have these two critical bugs.
With Firefox 26, I also have at least 120 tabs opened when I start Firefox and I do not have the two critical bugs described below, therefore I do not believe that the number of tabs is the reason of the two critical bugs that are present in Firefox 27, 28, and 29.
---FIRST CRITICAL BUG:
When I open ANY web page and do File, "Save Page As", the window that is supposed to open to locate the folder where I want to save this web page does NOT open at all, even if I wait a long time to see if it opens.
Same problem happened with Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!! When I reverted back to Firefox 26, this problem did NOT happen anymore!
---SECOND CRITICAL BUG:
When I use Google Images, for instance entering model in the search field of Google Images and then pressing enter.
Then I select any picture, open to a new tab this selected picture, then open a new tab by selecting the option View for this picture. Then right-click the picture and select "Save Image As".
Again, the window that is supposed to open to locate the folder where I want to save this picture does NOT open at all, even if I wait a long time to see if it opens.
Same problem happened with Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!! When I reverted back to Firefox 26, this problem did NOT happen anymore!
---THESE TWO CRITICAL BUGS DO NOT APPEAR WHEN I USE INTERNET EXPLORER 11.
I have no idea if you will be able to reproduce these two critical BUGS but I can assure you that they are not present when I use Firefox 26 and they are present when I use Firefox 27, 28, and 29. More, be aware that I have at least 100 tabs opened but I also have this same number of tabs opened in Firefox 26 and yet I do not experience these two critical bugs when I have Firefox 26!
Once again, these two bugs touch at two vital, critical very basic functions of Firefox and therefore I will NOT be able to use any version above 26 if these two bugs are still present, as they are present in Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!!!
Please, make it a priority to solve these two critical bugs. Thanks.
I did read a post related to the same issues “Firefox stops responding when trying to "save page" or "save image" | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support” at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991630?esab=a&as=aaq
I am still reading it again to try to figure out exactly what the person did to make his problems be solved, as the post is not clear at all on what solved the problems!
In any case, all the suggestions proposed in this post do not work and I surely cannot do a system restore when it is obvious that the two bugs do not appear in Internet Explorer.

First, I sent an email to the author of PhotoME to inform him of the serious issues his addon caused with Firefox latest versions.
Now, for those of you who do not have the PhotoME addon and yet experience the same problem that I had and that I described above, I suggest the following strategy.
As PhotoME did cause these problems with Firefox latest versions, I am pretty covinved other addons probably might cause these problems too. Therefore, adopt the following method.
Test one addon at a time to see if this particular addon is behind your Firefox issues like the ones I had.
So, disable one addon only at a time. Then close your Firefox and restart it from scratch and see if you still have your Firefox problems. You must restart the Firefox browser from scratch. If you still have these Firefox problems, re-enable the disabled addon, restart your Firefox (again!) and repeat the same method for every single addon that you have.
Try to be selective by choosing first addons that are more likely to cause your Firefox problems such as not very well-known or not very popular addons (like it was the case for the PhotoME addon).
If this method works or if it does not work, report it on this web page so that others can be helped with your comments.
I hope this method will help you because I was really upset that I had these Firefox problems and I first thought it was the fault of Firefox, only to discover later that this PhotoME addon was the culprit and had caused me such upset.

Bouncing - Premiere to Audition to Premiere - How to change default save location from Desktop

When I am bouncing from Premiere to Audition "Edit Clip in Audition", and then apply the effect and save the file, it seems to save the file to the desktop. Is there a way to change this default save location? Can't seem to find it in the preferences.
Didn't even realize it was doing this. Desktop was getting pretty cluttered.

You can paste this command in Terminal
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSDocumentSaveNewDocumentsToCloud -bool false
Or use Mountain Tweaks - click the Mountain Lion tab & it's the sixth item in the left-hand column.
Both will disable the default iCloud save & still let you have access to iCloud if you want it.
