Files Tab Default Folder View

I mange close to 200 website, all of which reside on a network drive a few folders down.  I am trying to find a way to change the default starting folder for the tree structure in the FILES tab.  Currently, the tree structure starts at the root of that directory, then like 10 folders down to get to my working Customers directory.  I would like to make the Customers directory the starting point.
I hope that that explains my issue.  If not, I hope any questions you might have will help me to explain it better.
Thanks!

Hi noisrev,
The following steps will change your default starting folder and will not change your folder structure.  I know this works with FTP but I haven’t checked it with other access methods.
1)     Open Dreamweaver
2)     Site à Manage Sites…
3)     Select your site and click Edit…
4)     Click on the Advanced tab
5)     Click on Remote Info in the side panel
6)     Them in Host Directory type in the folder path to the folder that you want to be your default folder.  This should be from the default folder of your FTP account.

  • How to set default folder view to "list"

    Hi guys,
    This is regarding Tiger. I poked around in the Finder forum to no avail. Have any of you come up with anything that would force the default folder view to "list" view?
    Um, folders, they are found in the gui.
    Thanks for any thoughts, scripts, plists, insults welcome, have a Merry Christmas!

    "all windows"
    Unfortunately that did not work.
    While in the Finder from the menu bar go to Finder > Preferences > General tab. See the item "Open new windows in column view" Whatever that is affecting I suppose would be the place to start hacking away on. I haven't investigated that. Would have been nice if Apple added list view in there.
    I'll see if I can poke around a bit and find what file gets affected by setting that option. I'll post if I find something.

  • Setting a default folder view for all folders in Windows 7

    How do you set up a default folder view of "List" for ALL the folders in Windows 7 including the optical drive?  
    Artoo

    I just installed windows 7. Are you seriously telling me that i now have all folders with mp3s in them AUTOMAGICALLY (THANKS FOR THE HANDY HELPING HAND THERE MICROSOFT!!!) set to some designers whim of what an mp3 folder "SHOULD" look like?
    Well i was going to write a big rant, and indeed did, but then i was doing some more research and it seems like i just made everyones day and solved the problem (partially). Or well THIS guy did:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16694/customize-the-five-windows-folder-templates/
    After you’ve clicked OK, visit some of the other folders in your file system.  You should see that most have taken on these new settings.
    What we’ve just done, in effect, is we have customized the General Items template.  This is one of five templates that Windows Explorer uses to display folder contents.  The five templates are called (in Windows 7):
    General Items
    Documents
    Pictures
    Music
    Videos
    When a folder is opened, Windows Explorer examines the contents to see if it can automatically determine which folder template to use to display the folder contents.  If it is not obvious that the folder contents falls into any of the last four templates,
    then Windows Explorer chooses the General Items template.  That’s why most of the folders in your file system are shown using the General Items
    template.
    Changing the Other Four Templates
    If you want to adjust the other four templates, the process is very similar to what we’ve just done.  If you wanted to change the “Music” template, for example, the steps would be as follows:
    Select a folder that contains music items
    Apply the existing Music template to the folder (even if it doesn’t look like you want it to)
    Customize the folder to your personal preferences
    Apply the new template to all “Music” folders
    A fifth step would be:  When you open a folder that contains music items but is not automatically displayed using the Music template, you manually select the Music template for that folder.
    Anyways, sorry that explanation doesnt do it justice. I have spent waaay too much time trying to figure this out already. Also that link doesnt say how to 1) copy templates (are they file or registry based?, didnt do research) 2) if you can distable templates
    or the automatic re-templating of folders.
    THAT is what i want to know! as it is much more maintance then its actually worth...
    but once i had set 5 default types to, the exact same thing... it now doesnt matter if it automagically switches it. SUCK IT MS AUTOTUNE!!!
    Its bloody hard to frame this question too. What can you say about this? "folder changes to mp3" "customize folder types windows 7" "windows 7 folder changes to mp3" "dont automatically change folders to mp3" "how
    to change mp3 details column for good" "automatically change column order win 7 mp3"
    The search that actually solved it:
    "do not apply default template to mp3 windows 7"
    good luck, this worked for me!
    EDIT: also i just noticed that neonr already answered this above. i just didnt read it carefully enough. anyways i guess i will leave this and mark his as answer.

  • How to maintain default folder view (broken when leopard clients connect)?

    hi there,
    we run 10.4 tiger server and have the problem that if 10.5 leopard clients connect to the share their changes to the folder view become the new default for everyone connecting after them. with 10.4 clients the default folder view is looked to the settings of the admin.
    is there a way to bring back this feature with 10.5 clients connecting? lock the default folder view of shares?
    this question was asked before by andy lowe (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1571877&tstart=45) but never answered.

    It's "show view options" in English. Also obtained by typing CMD+J
    Those only apply to the top-level folder. Each folder you open uses whatever you've elected to use as the defaults. Select a folder, CMD+J, set the view as you desire, click on Use as Default button. That setting will be used for all windows that you open in the future that have never been opened previously. All other windows that you opened will retain whatever view you previously selected for them.
    If you want to reset everything to one view, close all open Finder windows, launch the Terminal app (/Applications/Utilities/), copy & paste this command into the window that pops up,
    find ./ -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} \;
    hit the return key, quit the Terminal app, restart, open a Finder window, CMD+J, set up the view options as desired, click the Use as Defaults button, and close the view options window. Now, every Finder window you open will have this view.
    Once you sort this out, see:

  • How to Get A Default Folder View That Overrides Other Settings?

    Hi Thanks for checking my question. Now I have a default folder view that display things nicely every time I open finder. But whenever I attach a external drive or a card reader or connect to a networked drive, my default setting is overridden by all the previous folder views I had for those hard drives/cards/network locations. Is there a way to use my folder view settings in the highest priority, so that whatever I opened in finder (local, external or remote) will show itself in the same manner?
    Any enlightenment is appreciated.

    Actually the view I get from opening a folder seems to depend on HOW I opened it as well. If I clicked finder on the dock and navigate to my Downloads folder I get the view I want, but if I opened Downloads folder by clicking its dock icon (as a stack I guess?) the view is the same old view I got before I changed my default folder view. How can I fix this so I may have a very consistent-looking finder window?
    Thanks.

  • Change default folder view?

    Hi. I was wondering if there was a way to change the default folder view. For instance, I'd like it so that when I create a new folder or open a new window it would be automatically in list view mode, and with the specific columns I want. Is this possible?

    From the "view" menu choose "List View" uncheck in Prefs where you may have checked "Open new windows in column view".

  • File browser or folder view in gallery and music app?

    Hello together,
    is in Firefox OS no file browser and no way to show my pictures and my music in a folder view? I have sorted all my pictures and music in folders but in the gallery and the music app everything is totally unsorted or show under "unknown artist". :-/

    Hi Alex008,
    Thanks for using Firefox OS. There is a file browser in the marketplace called Explorer that let's you see your files in the folders. See https://marketplace.firefox.com/search?q=explorer
    Let me know if this isn't what you were looking for.

  • Moving files/folders in Folder view to new drives/partions etc?

    If I open the Organizer in Folder view mode & drag a folder or individual pictures to another location will each the pathway to each individual picture be updated by PSE 10?  The reason that I ask is that I would like the Organizers pathway to better reflect the actual locations of my Hard drive.
    If this works will doing this also work across different hard drives & partitions?
    It would be nice to end up with folder sub folder tree to closely reflect that of the Organizer

    Yes just drag and drop.
    It’s easier putting everything in say My Pictures. Sometimes external hard drives are right at the bottom of the left hand panel and dragging whilst expanding the tree can be a bit tricky.

  • How to set default folder view in Outlook PDF Portfolio?

    I'm using Acrobat 9.0 within MS Outlook 2007 to create a portfolio of a folder with subfolders. I would like the initial portfolio view to mimic a typical Outlook view with folder list and reading preview pane. I can create said view in the PDF file by splitting the window vertically and clicking my way to the desired folder level. But I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to save those choices as a default under Portfolio Properties or elsewhere.  Can anyone offer advice?  Thanks.

    Can no one help me?  No one at all?

  • Acrobat 8 Pro WIN-Changing default folder view when attaching a document

    Just wondering if anyone has any idea how to change this setting. The problem is this:
    -In an open PDF, click on the Add Attachment button
    In the Add Attachment Window the Default View is Details and I'd like it to be List instead. Also, is there a way to change the default file location to My Documents? Thanks much.

    I remember what the difference is. I used to have different choices. [Open] [Save] [Cancel]
    I used to Always choose OPEN for pdfs. I could choose to save later if I decided to keep the file. Is this a change that Adobe made? A browser plug-in, maybe?
    I really dont want to save EVERYTHING, and have to remember to drag it to the recycle bin later.
    Any help?

  • Get invisble file of invisble folder?

    Hi
    I have an app that stores it's log files in a specific folder which is invisble, this is giving me a headache as id like to use folder actions to have the log copied and sent to another folder which is visible.
    Can I get some advise please a I cant figure out how to have applescript see the file when it's added to the invisible folder.
    cheers
    Budgie

    I'm a little confused by your post, too.
    There are no truly invisible folders, just ones that are not shown in a default folder view. You can always use the Finder's 'Go -> Go to Folder' menu option to open any folder on disk if you know its path.
    That said, the folder action shouldn't care whether the folder is hidden from view or not, and I'm not sure why you're using 'path to', either.
    For each folder action handler, the specific folder in question is passed in as one of the parameters. For example:
    on adding folder items to theFolder after receiving theseItems
    In this case, 'theFolder' refers to the folder the action is attached to. There's no need to do any other work to find it, and 'theseItems' is a list of the items just added to the folder.
    If you want a folder action that copies a file from a watched folder to another folder on disk it could be as simple as:
    on adding folder items to theFolder after receiving theseItems
    tell application "Finder"
    duplicate theseItems to folder "path:to:some:other:folder"
    end tell
    end adding folder items to
    and all the newly-added items will be copied to the specified folder (in this case "path:to:other:folder".
    Note, though, that this probably won't help with active log files. Folder actions will only fire when an item is added to or deleted from a folder. It won't detect if an existing file is updated in some way. Without knowing your goal it's hard to tell whether that's going to be a problem or not.

  • Windows native file dialog default sort is by date instead of name

    I somehow managed to get the Windows common file dialog default sort to be by date instead of name, so I have to resort by name every time I select a VI to load. I haven't been able to identify the registry entry that tell how the MRU list is sorted. How do I make the default sort by name instead of date, short of removing and reinstalling LabVIEW?

    I think its a Windows issue and nothing to do with LabVIEW since LabVIEW just calls the MS common dialog. Do you see the same behaviour when using Windows Explorer? I know that with Win2K, I can set the default folder view to always sort by date. To go back to the default, select My Computer>Tools>Folder Options>View>Reset All Folders. I don't have easy access to any computers with a different OS right now so I can't describe what the process is for them.

  • Folder view in iTunes

    Is there a way to browse my music files in a folder view rather than one huge list?
    I just added about 4000 .mp3 files to my library (first time using iTunes) and the only way I know of to add songs to my iPod is to scroll through this huge list where half the files are named "Track 01". I've already got all these files nicely sorted on my hard drive.
    I'm using the ipod shuffle. Is there a way to simply drag and drop files from my hard drive onto the ipod without using iTunes? That would be my preferred solution.
    Thank you.

    Somewhat of a workaround. I can create a new playlist in iTunes and drag/drop files from Windows Explorer to the playlist. Then select all on the playlist and select "add to iPod".
    Also, must I submit my credit card info to register my iPod? The only thing I want to use iTunes for is to add/remove my existing songs to/from the iPod. Is there a better tool for this that isn't as bloated? Like iTunes Lite or something that only contains the minimal of features?

  • Custom Folder View w/ Movable Columns

    Question1:
    =======
    I created very simple custom folder view. How can I make my custome folder view to display Movable Columns?
    When adding elements into Folder View, the section Standard Form Elements does contain only the element Discussion Folder (Standard View), no movable columns
    I need in my custom folder view movable columns, Heeeeeeeeelp!!
    Question2:
    =======
    In Folder Options in Configure Columns, one can choose what columns of an entry to display.
    I found the order of chosen columns inconsistent.
    Is there a way how to specify the order of the chosen columns?

    1. When in the folder, click on Manage > Configure. Do you not see an option for selecting the default folder view?
    2. No, currently there is no way to specify the column order.
