How do I change the master files location?

Hi all,
there is a question that is making me crazy.
I got all my master file inside an external Hd (named 1).
The entire collection of the master file is backed up inside another external Hd (named 2).
The question is: in case Hd 1 get broken, how can I "tell" to Aperture to select the master file inside the Hd 2 (that are right the same)?
Is there a shortcut?
I hope someone can help me to solve that.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Simone

If I understand, in Aperture you can select different location for different files.
If you want to move only some pictures from the external Hd into another location (for example your Pc Hd), you can select them then choose file/relocate master and select a different location for them.
The suggest is maintain the same folder structure while moving this files.
Aperture is still able to find them.
In case you get confused about the exact location of a pictures, simply right click on the mouse and select "show in the finder".
I hope this is what you asked.
Simone

  • How do I change the preview file location?

    I have a SSD "C:" drive which is filling up, and I have other drives with lots of space and performance, so I'd like to move where SB stores the preview files (currently in  "Adobe Soundbooth Preview Files") to a different drive.
    I haven't seen anything in the SB config which allows me to do this, is there a way, and if so - what is it?
    Thx!    

    (1) Open a new tab to about:config (type about:config in the Awesomebar and tap the go arrow or tap Enter)
    (2) In the search box, type down and tap Enter
    (3) Scroll down to browser.download.folderList and tap Modify, then change the value from 1 to 2 (from default always to last used folder). The change should appear after a few seconds.
    (3) Scroll back up and tap the "Add a New Setting" button
    (A) String is the correct type, so OK that
    (B) The name of the preference should be browser.download.dir (this stores the last used directory)
    (C) The value should be /sdcard/ followed by the folder name you want to use, for example, /sdcard/FxDown

  • Screen shots  - how do I change the default file type

    Screen shots using command, shift, 4: I used to get pdf files from the screen shot command, now I get PNG files. How do I change the default file type from PNG to PDF? PNGs are a pain.

    Also, there are utilities like OnyX that will change the screenshot settings.
    But this AppleScript is my favorite.
    Screenshot Settings 1.1 <http://scriptbuilders.net/files/screenshotsettings1.1.html>
    About:
    This application is a GUI method for changing the screenshot (screen capture) settings in Mac OS X v10.4 (Tiger).
    Note that you can also drag-n-drop a folder onto this application to change the default location.

  • How do I change the Home file name back to Home?

    Help! - How do I change the Home file name back to Home? My supplier changed it to Demo. I've tried pressing return, control click and Get Info but none gives access to change the name. Any ideas?

    The Home folder isn't named "Home." It is named for the user account it represents.
    Who is your "supplier?" Sounds like they're not terribly bright.
    Can you provide some details on why they "changed" it. Is this a brand new Mac? Were you having information transferred from another computer?
    It sounds like you just need to create a new account and get rid of "Demo."
    While logged into the "Demo" account, go to System Preferences in the Apple Menu.
    Click on Users & Groups
    If the padlock is locked, click on it and enter your password.
    Click the + button at the bottom of the list of users. This will create a new account. Fill in the information you'd like to use for your account. The account name is what will be used for the "Home" folder.
    Once created, select it from the list and check the box to "Allow user to administer this computer."
    You can then log out of "Demo" and log in as your new user. If there is nothing in the Demo account that you want, you can delete it from the Users & Groups System Pref.

  • How do I change the .php file name for a page of my site?

    how do I change the .php file name for a page of my site? The only link to the page is the nav. button link for it in the global nav. The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.

    The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.
    I don't understand this reason. How would changing the file extension solve your breadcrumb issue? Why don't you explain the issue in more detail.

    See above question.

    Hi trshaner,
    Thanks again for your complete reaction. I’ve looked at the video and the help-information. This made me decide to leave the file My pictures where it is (C) and move some of the other folders/files to the E-drive. Thanks for your help.

  • :-)  How can we change the default file path for Bank file ( dmee ) ?

    Hi All,
    We encounter a problem.
    Electronic bank file ( created after a F110 run ) are created, in an automatic way to the DIR_TEMP directory. ( On the SAP server )
    How can we change the default file path for Bank files ( dmee ) ?
    We'd like to specify another path.
    Thx for your help.
    Erwan

    Hello,
    Make sure that you have created the directory in transaction code AL11 with the help of basis consultants.
    You can link your PC directory to the application server.
    You can maintain the path whether your file needs to get saved in OBPM4 against your DMEE structure example GB_BACS etc.
    If you do not maintain any path in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory. If you give the directory path name in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to that directory with numbers 0001, 0002, 0003 etc till it reaches 9999 and reset from the beginning.
    If you give the path as well as file name as ABCD, then the file gets generated to that directory folder with ABCD0001, ABCD0002, ABCD0003 etc. till it reaches ABCD9999 and reset from the beginning.
    Hope this solves your problem.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • The 2 year old fix for changing temp files is no longer valid, I need to change the temp file location in the latest firefox.

    In 3.6.3 I'm unable to find the parent cache to change where the temp files are located. I have an SSD drive, and I need to get the temp file off, and onto my platter drive. I have read the previous fix of about:config and changing the parent cache location, but it no longer seems to be there. I'm unable to locate anything relating to my SSD drive location in about:config.

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4

    Unfortunately, it appears that what I wrote about not being able to find the location IN about:config of the cache to change it from my C: drive to a different location, was mildly misunderstood that I didn't know how to get into about:config.
    The location of browser.cache.disk.parent_directory does not currently exist in 3.6.3. I'm assuming it's under a different location. Also using the simple string of "cache" lists several options, but none of them appear to be where firefox is currently dumping the temp files onto my C:
    I merely need to know how to switch the temp file location from 1 drive, to another. Not downloads, the temp file.

  • How can I change the source file so it is direct from external hard drive?

    I am trying to make a movie on imovie of a snowboarding trip that I went on, there is around 80 to 100 gig of mp4 movies that will not fit on my computer that I have stored on my external harddrive. I had the movie half finished then found I could do no more as I had no space left in my mac. I had to delete everything and start again but I'm not doing this until I can find a way of changing the source file so I can take them direct from my external hard drive as to not use up all my computers available space. I have moved imovie to my external hard drive but it still tries to read from a movie file on my mac, how can I change that so it will read from a source file on my external hard drive, is it possible?? Can someone help me??

    Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
    I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.

  • How do I change the default file saving type

    I have seen this question all over the web, but none of the answers I have found apply to my version of Photoshop (CS5).
    I want to change the default file type when I save files.  I don't want PSD or PDF, I want PNG.
    I want to hit CTRL + SHIFT + S like normal, but I don't want to select PNG from the drop-down menu when I go to name my items.
    I don't want to create an action for each file I work with - I want this to be a default setting change across all of photoshop on every file.
    Any help?  Adobe has been of zero assistance. 

    I have already tried the "Actions" method - which is glitchy in and of itself!
    What I am doing is very simple - I am making photo slide shows.  I create a new file that is 1920 x 1280 (the size of my display) and then I open 100+ images.  I copy and paste each image into the 1920x1280 file so that all images display the same on my screen when I run the slides.  I re-size and adjust the position of each image so it appears how I want.
    So I copy and paste my first image into the 1920x1280 canvas and then hit F2 (the button I applied the save as PNG action to).  It saves the file.  Then I copy and paste another image into the file and hit F2.  Rather than creating a new file (or even a copy) Photoshop writes over the last file I made.  YAY!  More wasted time!
    It blows my mind that a function as simple as "Change default file type" is missing from such an expensive, accredited program.  How can their software engineers overlook something that hundreds of other people (like me) have posted a need for online?  Something so simple?  Andy why is it my job now to learn how to do scripting for Photoshop to add in a feature that should be standard?  Is that why I pay $50 a month for this software or why I bought CS5 outright for more than $1000?
    So that's what I am trying to do - make a slide show where each image is exactly the same size.  It seems the only option Adobe gives me is "WASTE MORE OF YOUR TIME"
