How do I control which partition certain files go to?

I have a 640GB HD that I have partitioned into approx. 10 different partitions (volumes), and I am trying to determine how I can control where certain files go.
For example:
1 Partition for Downloads, 1 for Cache files, 1 for Applications, 1 for Music, 1 for Movies, 1 for Documents, 1 for photos
How can I get these particular files to automatically go to the designated drive?

You can use settings in the respective applications to control some of those, such as downloads in Web browsers, music in iTunes, etc. Controlling where cache files are would be much trickier if it's possible. However, I share Lyssa's evident feeling that your partitioning scheme is misguided. The best advice for OS X for most people is to leave everything in one partition.

  • When opening a Photoshop file with Bridge, how can I control which version of Photoshop the file wil

    When opening a Photoshop file fthrough Bridge, how can I control which version of Photoshop the file will open in?
    I store my PSD files adjacent to the original RAW file from which it was derived.
    If I open the file folder and double click on that PSD file, it opens in CS6. But,if I use Bridge (CS6) to navigate to and open the same file, it first opens Photoshop CS5 and then opens that PSD file in CS5.
    How can I control which Photoshop will open a file I select when opening it through Bridge?.

    Interesting, but it doesn't give a clue what I'm supposed to do. No Photoshop ducuments listed.
    Look at the PSD file on the location Curt provided and search for Photoshop Document. Next to it ideally should show Adobe Photoshop CS6 if you have Bridge CS6 open. Click on it to provide the fly out menu and choose the correct Photoshop from the list.
    But probably something went wrong with your install. By default Bridge chooses the latest version of PS to open its file in.
    Maybe a reset of the preferences might also help you. Can you provide more details about OS version etc.
    And do you have a good reason for keeping your Raw and finished files in the same location. Personally I keep them apart and use a proper file name convention (yyyymmdd and details) so I can easily search for the DNG files in my archive if I needed them but I don't make mistakes in opening the wrong one

  • IOS obviously allows only 10 Apps to be Chosen in The "Open in" function. How can I control which Apps ( if more than 10 are installed) can be selected?

    iOS obviously allows only 10 Apps to be Chosen in The "Open in" function. How can I control which Apps ( if more than 10 are installed) can be selected?

    I think that is influenced by the order in which the apps are installed on the iPad (I believe that it's the most recent 10 ?) - but as I haven't got more than 10 apps that support any document/file type I can't check.
    If you want to able to edit the list, then you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • HT1386 How do I control which device's iCal is controlling the sync?

    I make changes to my calendar on my iPad, but when I sync it with my computer it defaults to the iMac calendar and erases what is on the iPad. How do I control which device is the sync-er and the sync-ee?

    Are you using iCloud?
    If so, both teh Mac and iPad should be using iCloud.
    Do not sync the calendar with iTunes.

  • How do I control the order of files as written to the LST file of FileNameGet command with multiple files

    The UseFileCommand is not loading my files in alphabetical order...nor in timestamp order...nor in the order I select them in the FileNameGet dialog box.
    How do I control this?
    It appears that the LST file created is where the problem lies.  The UseFileList variable, it appears, reads from the last entry, and works forward.
    So I need a way to manage this..so that my data is processed according to the timestamp (earliest first) OR filename (alphanumeric sort, ascending)
    Thanks

    Hmm, seems I did a better search this morning...and came across the following....
    Previous sort request
    Maybe an enhancement? 
    In my case, the issue is I'm trying to process multtiple data files collected over 6 months of durability testing.  Out of the risk of losing data, our DAQ team has elected to open a new file every hour.  So, I end up with thousands of files.
    I parse through these files, calculating time between various events.  Its CRITICAL that the calculations are in time-order.  The files each 1 Gb in size, so I prefer to utilize the filename (date/time sortable) or original timestamp.
    If processed out of order, the durability data will likley imply something quite wierd (like improvement over time).  Of course, that would be great for a management review...but not so good when warranty starts coming back
    I can write/copy any number of sort routines...I just thought the file order should be intuitive (either forward or reverse...not last, first, middle, etc...
    Anyhow...I'd like to formally request an enhacement in the next ve.  rsion of Diadem; one that provides an additional parameter to be passed...SortField.  Useful options would include FileNameForward, FilenameReverse, TimeForward, TimeReverse, etc...

  • How do I identify which source audio file is mapped to which track in a merged clip?

    Hi there,
    I'm new to the merge functionality.
    I went ahead and merged my video/audio for a short film, all of the clips have on-camera sound, and up to 3 seperate mics.
    Now I find myself spending loads of time trying to match *by ear* which channel has the mic I want to use across various takes. The track assignment seem to vary. How does Premiere decide of 3 audio files which ones goes on which track?
    Also, is there a way to see which audio track contains which source wav file?
    Cheers

    @drive70 – for this table you'll need a grid of  15 x 11 cells (or at least 13 x 11 cells).
    Best start with 15 columns.
    Distribute them evenly horizontally.
    Now do the merge where needed.
    E.g. for cell 2 in column 1 of your layout in the screengrab, use 3 grid cells of row 2.
    For the next cell use 4 grid cells, etc.pp.
    Here an illustration:
    The upper one is the initial GRID, 15 x 11 cells PLUS (and this is very important!) a 12th row, you will NOT touch ever during the merge process, or you'll lose flexibility!
    The bottom table is the one I started to merge cells like you want…

  • How do i control which photos sync to iphone?

    I have just bought a new iPhone and it has much less storage than my old one. How do I limit which photos are synced to the new phone without losing data?

    Connect your iPhone to your computer and start whatever camera or image capture application you have on the computer. Your phone will be recognized as a camera and let you copy photos from the Camera Roll to your computer. You can also select photos in the Camera Roll for deletion.

  • How can I control which apps use cellular data?

    Sometimes I marvel at Apple's amazingness and sometimes I can't believe the holes.  Googling around I get the impression that iOS/iPhone provides no means for a user to take control of their data plan and set which apps are permitted to use cellular data and to track cellular data usage on an app by app basis.  Am I the only one that finds it unbelievable that an operating system designed for a cell phone that supports adding piles of sometimes sketchy 3rd party apps doesn't have this baked right in?  There seem to be a few apps try monitor overall aggregate data usage, but they are useless at getting to the root cause.
    So, I hope I'm just missing it.  How do I figure out which broken, buggy, misconfigured app I stupidly installed is eating my data plan?  Maybe Android is a better choice for guys like me that are too busy to play whack a mole uninstalling and reinstalling apps for hours and days to try to solve such a tedious mystery.
    Thanks!

  • How to find package owning a certain file?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to download a source code from git and got the following error message
    gpg: error while loading shared libraries: libgcrypt.so.20: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    Clearly it's not able to find the file  "libgcrypt.so.20", so my logic is to find a pacakge that provides that and install it. I tried using the archlinux package database and search for it by keyword but got nothing. Any ideas how I can proceed to fix this problem?
    Thanks in advance

    There's also a tool called pkgfile which is more powerful than `pacman -Qo`. Look it up.
    In this case, the package is (surprise!) libgcrypt. Sh*t broke probably because you did a partial update/install of some packages, which is generally not recommended. Do `pacman -Syu` often.
    Edit: or... if the .so didn't really get bumped recently, it could mean some other weird problem.

  • How do I know/how can I control which video card a particular application uses?

    Hey there--
    Simple question: I have the ATI Radeon HD 2600 256 MB and the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 1536 MB installed via PCIe ports on an early 2008 Mac Pro. I've decided for a multitude of reasons that I'd like my displays to be plugged into the HD 2600, but I want certain applications-- Final Cut, games, etc-- to use the FX 5600. How can I be sure that this is happening? Is it possible? Will more intensive applications automatically utilize the proper card?
    Thanks much.

    Yes, it means the 7970 requires 1 x 6 pin and 1 x 8 pin. The Mac Pro supplies 2 x 6 pin, which is 75 Watts each.
    So Mac Pro can supply 75 Watts from PCIe slot and 2 x 75 Watts from 2 x 6 pin for the total of 225 Watts.
    The 7970 requires more than 225 Watts. There are people that run these cards from internal power and say the additional power pulled over the traces on the Mainboard won't damage the board, but I've seen several reports of burned out Mainboards and more commonly the PSU just shuts the Mac Pro down hard for safety reasons. Remember: the 2 x 6 pin ports power runs over traces(!) on the board, not over cables. If you over tax them this is a lot more dangerous as with cables.
    It's up to everyone to decide for themself if they want to risk running cards above the power provided by the Mac Pro.
    The safe way is always to go for 2 x SATA to 1 x 6 pin adapter and 2 x 6 pin to 1 x 8 pin adapters and provide the power for 7970 / R9 280x or GTX 780 in the Mac Pro like that. Or get an external / additional PSU for power hungry GPUs. That works, too.
    But you will obviously lose 2 x SATA ports. I run eSATA with RAID5 anyway, since RAID5 in the Mac Pro is too much of a hassle.
    Of course all that matters if it works in the end. But official power specifications are a matter you shouldn't take too lightly.

  • How can i control which iView gets updated when a nav node gets clicked?

    Hello,
    Following setting: the content area of the desktop inner page inside the default frameworkpage usually consist of just one iView.
    But what happens when there are 3 iViews inside? How do i have to call the pageloader which of the 3 iViews should get updated when a nav node of the detailed navigation is clicked?
    Thanx

    Hi
    Since you will be using the Merger Id property, they will be linked to a single link in navigational area.
    Refreshing a page / clicking the link in navigation Pane will result in refreshing of all the iViews.

  • How can I control which display my dock displays on?

    When I boot my MacBook Pro, the dock starts on my MacBook screen, but if I use my Thunderbolt display a lot, the dock suddenly jumps over there, where I don't want it. How can I force the dock to go back to my laptop screen and stay there?

    This is a new feature in Mavericks.  Each display now can have a “separate space.”  This allows one to access the menu bar and dock on any screen.  It also means application windows will start on the screen that is active (a feature I don’t like).  It enables a display to be in full-screen mode (e.g. for showing a movie) while the other screens are in normal mode.
    If you don’t like these features and prefer the Mountain Lion common display space you can disable separate spaces.
