How do I set a default directory location for opening projects?

Hi there.
Using Windows 7.
What I mean is when I click on Open Project I want it to always go to the same location, namely C:\Users\Julian\Desktop\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\6.0\Projects
Each time I try to open a Project it seems to always go to some other random directory in My Docs.
I've looked for this in Preferences but cannot locate it.
Any ideas?

I just tested the Open Project function, and it appears to default to the location of the last project you had opened.
That said, I don't recommend saving project, or anything associated with your project, on the C: drive.
Adobe recommends a dedicated drive for video editing, and I've always saved my projects and all associated media on that separate drive. Not a big fan of the "My Documents" folders. Sure you can access them from the desktop, to a degree, but when in the Windows Explorer, stuff is buried too many folder down for my tastes. Makes it difficult to locate files later on.
I have a drive V: for video and will create a New Folder there when starting a new project. The Project gets saved there, as well as an video, audio, graphics, etc., and I do create sub-folders to organize those assets as inside the main folder.
Thanks

How do I set the default directory that adobe opens from and saves to.

Every time I open a document, adobe looks for files in skydrive. To get to my files, I have to back up a level, change to the c: drive, go to users, and then pick the folder my files are in. Does anyone know where I can find and change the defalt file location.

Thank you for your reply Rob. That is a pity because I have loaded some 500 eBooks and each Cover page appears in the Navigation sidebar with real Pictures and Videos interspersed seemingly randomly. I have also tried to move my stuff into separate folders called Pictures and Videos. Wheareas the Pictures moved successfully, the Videos didn't show in the Videos Folder. I think this is a bug.
Is there another Media Player on the HP App site that is worth trying?

How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

gurus,
i'm using -
Oracle 9i Database
Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
i did the following to achieve this -
1. logged into portal
2. clicked on builder
3. clicked on administer tab
4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
5. went to the preferences tab
6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
7. logged out of portal
8. open a new browsere session
9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
ideas anyone ....?
thanx a bunch.

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.

Ved

How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg

How do I set the default print margins for ALL printers in mozilla.cfg, even ones that are not yet installed / connected to the computer?
I'm trying to install firefox with MDT and apply certain print options, but the printers themselves are connected at a later stage so the print.printer_myprinterhere cannot be used.

Best answer I could find: [https://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/16/customizing-firefox-autoconfig-files/#comment-132668]
If you can figure out how to add the printer name, this can be used to lock the margins.

How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
Best regards
Jonas

In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
See:
*http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs.<br />
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Photo elements wants to open last used dir location. When it doesn't exist or cannot access, it fails to open. How do you set the default file location?

Upset!!!
Photo elements wants to open at the last used folder location. When it does not exist or unable to open that location. It FAILS to OPEN.
Does not seem to be a way to set a default location or to change the location.
VERY ANNOYING.
How do you tell photo elements to always go to a set location rather than the last used location?
Thank you

Hi,
I did a test as you suggested - open an image on a removable drive, close the editor and took the removable offline. When I next went to the editor, it opened OK.
From the screen shot in message #5 above, I think that the fault is with SolidWorks. I am not familiar with that product but it seems to be a form of asset management and it can't open its database - is that on the removable?
Normally, the editor does not open any files when it loads except for it program files and any addins. Could SolidWorks be an addin?
See if this works to reset the preferences.
Create a desktop shortcut for this file
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Hold down the Ctrl, Shift & Alt keys when you double click on the shortcut. Keep the keys held down and eventually a message box will pop up asking if you want to reset the preferences - you do.

How can I set a default save file for scans using the Solution Center?

Using Windows 7 - 64 bit. HP Photosmart Premuim C-309a All-In-One Printer.
Because of a Windows crash, I had to install a new drive and reload Windows. I also reloaded other software like the HP Solution Center & Drivers. My problem is that I can't find how to set a default folder for my scans. This is NOT mentioned in the user manual but it was originally accomplished by HP Tech Support when the printer was new. Can anyone relate how to set default folders for my scans?
Thanks.

View Solution.

Here is a document on how to scan through Windows 7.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03476857
Click either solution center or the icon of the printer on your desktop. Here select "Scanner Actions" (or the analogous selection). When the window pops up from the HP software it should provide you with options for file type (.tiff, .pdf, .jpg) as well as resolution and media size. Here on this page there is also an option for you to go to the advanced options. Using this you can alter the default safe folder.
Let me know if that helps you out!

How do I set the default file path for the Place command?

I keep my graphics files for each document in a particular folder. Every time I open an existing InDesign document and place a new image I have to browse back to that location - even though all of the previous images in that document came from the same folder. InDesign does not remember the file path that was used previously in the document. This is very annoying.
IS THERE A WAY TO SET THE DEFAULT FILE PATH, OR LOCATION, FOR IMAGE FILES?
I have looked through the preferences, searched the forums and internet, but I have not found any reference to setting default paths. Is there a setting like the one in MS Word called "File Locations" on the Options toolbox?
Thank you.

Since you're working in ID on Windows, you can take advantage of a neat trick in Windows. Copy the file path out of the File Explorer address bar and paste it directly into the Place filename field. That will jump you directly to the desired volume. For example, let's say I want to place a graphic located at X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working Source Files\Links. I copy that entire path from the File Explorer address bar, go to InDesign, select File|Place, and press Control + V to paste that path into the filename field. I press the Open button and Shazam! I'm there instantly, without a bunch of navigation.
You can do the same thing in the File|Save As and File|Export fields. Let's say you want export a PDF file from InDesign to the volume X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working PDF Files. First copy the desired file path from the File Explorer window. In InDesign, select File|Export, click anywhere in the filename field, and press the Home key to move the insertion point to the front of the filename. Press Control + V to paste that path in front of the filename, then add the backslash character (\). The filename will now look like this: X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working PDF Files\Filename.pdf. Press the Save button to bring up the Export Adobe PDF window. Select your desired PDF preset, press the Export button, and the PDF file will magically appear in the desired volume.
This sounds really complicated, but it's not. In practice, it only takes a few seconds. I probably save an hour's worth of needless navigation every day with this technique.

I can set my default home page (when Firefox starts) but if I open subsequent tabs I get a blank page. How do I set my default home page for all tabs.

I set my default home page to AltaVista.com. This page comes up as expected when I start Firefox. However if I open a new tab I get a blank page. How to I setup Firefox to use my default web page for all subsequent tabs. This was an easy process in IE

Sounds like you want the New Tab Homage extension.

How can I set the default save format for photoshop edited photos?

I just spotted that some of my photos that I've edited in Photoshop from Lightroom are a whopping 450MB. Looking deeper I found that they are saved as uncompressed TIFF files, this despite the default save format for Photoshop in Lightroom's preferences being set to ZIP compressed TIFF files. So why doesn't this setting work and how can I make Photoshop save things compressed?

Sounds funny but first tell us what version of PS you have, what version of Lr and which OS. Thanks.

How do you set a default format property for a formula defined in the AWM?

Is there a way to define a default format property for a formula that I create in the AW?
For example, if I define a formula in AW I can assign it a datatype of decimal. But what property do I need to add if want that formula to by DEFAULT always display a certain way, regardless if I use the Discover Plus with OLAP option or OracleBI Spreadsheet Addin?
Example: want to display it by default, in the AW cube, as being associated to a format of 00.0000 or 00.0000% or $###,##0.00 etc. This way, no mater what tool I use to view the cube, it will by default inherit my default format (set in the AW).
Thanks.

Okay, but if I use the out-of-the-box products Oracle provides (ie: Discover Plus with Olap, and the OracleBI Spreadsheet Addin) I still dont understand what my solution is?
The only other solution we tried was to create formulas using AWM template files. The issue here is trying to find out what property syntax needs to be added to the XML code, so that my formula, by default, is associated to a certain formating style (ie: 00.00). And then when you reference that formula in those out-of-the-box Oracle products, it displays as expected.

How can I set a default view option for all finder windows in Lion?

I am talking about the icon size and grid spacing.

Open up a Finder window, CMD+J, set it up as desired, and click on Use as Defaults. Do note that will only apply to windows that you've not opened before. If you want to apply that to all previously opened windows, you need to remove all the .DS_Store files which store that data for each previously opened folder. To do that, launch the Terminal app (in /Applications/Utilities/), copy & paste this command into the window that pops up, and hit the return key:
sudo find / -name ".DS_Store" -exec rm {} \;
At the Password: prompt, carefully enter your admin password, since nothing shows up on the screen, and hit the return key. When the default prompt, usually the $ sign, pops up, quit the Terminal app, restart, and open a Finder window, set it up the way you want, and click on Use as Defaults. All subsequently opened or created folders should retain that view.

How do I set the default from email for invititations

I use my ical calendar for different business and personal calendars.
Is there any way to set up the "from" email account to coinscide with the calendar the event is made for.
i.e. If I make a personal event, the invite is sent from my personal e-mail, and if I make a business appointment, the invite is sent from my business account.
I was able to do this with google calendar, but I am trying to be all in the cloud.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.s. running 10.7 and iCal vs.5.0.1
Thanks

I understand that you want each of several email accounts to act independently, such that mail for account 1 is sent and received only on that account, then account 2 likewise, etc.
For each email account, left click on the account name and then select 'View settings for this account'.
On the 'Account Settings' page, look at the 'Reply-to-Address' (should be blank) and also select the 'Manage Identities' box, which shows the default name and email address. If the default is not for that account, you can add or edit the entries and set the default.
Back on the 'Account Settings' page, select 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)' and check the user name/account there. It should be for the same account.
For each account, the other accounts should not be mentioned in any of the places identified above.
