How do I set my preferences to open most recent catalog?

I'm running LR 4.1 with ACR 7.1 on a Windows 7 64 bit OS.
I set my preferences to open most recent catalog.
I then open another catalog and do some stuff in the catalog but when I start LR next time it keeps going back to a different catalog. How can I change the settings so it either opens the most recent catalog or I get prompted for which catalog I'd like to open (I've tried both settings) and LR still keeps opening the same catalog.

In the same dialog that your screenshot shows select as per this screen shot:
Your setting should open the catalog you most recently worked with. If you work on catalog A, then open catalog B, with your settings Lr will open with catalog B the next time.

  • How do I set a preference for opening one of multiple email accounts first?

    I have multiple email accounts and prefer to open one of them first when I open the email app.  After setup of all my email accounts the app is opening one of the accounts that is not my preference even though I setup my preferred account as the default.  I've deleted all accounts and started over thinking that the order of the setup made a difference but it has not helped.
    In particular I want an Exchange email account to open first and this account is not sync'ed with iTunes.
    Would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thank you,

    The only way that you can do something even close to what you are trying to do is to back out of whatever you are in while using the mail app in order to get back to the main mail window that shows all of your inboxes and all of the different email accounts under the accounts heading. Then you could choose to use the Exchange account first from there.
    You would have to do this every single time that you are done with mail and it isn't exactly what you are looking to do and it's hardly worth the time anyway.

  • How do I set up preferences of opening up garage band?

    Hi guys...every project I start I want to have it "time" mode, have the "loops" on the right side of the screen not on, and "lock automation curves to regions" checked. I realize this is a simple 4 to 5 clicks, but was wondering if I can say, "everytime I create a new project, open it like THIS."
    thanks,
    Dan

  • Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window

    Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
    There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
    Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
    Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

    as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

  • "I have pages 5.1 but when I try to open a page on my desk top.. a message comes up - You need a newer version of pages to open this document.  How do I set my computer to open a page?"

    "I have Pages 5.1 but when I try to open a page on my desk top.. a message comes up - You need a newer version of pages to open this document.  How do I set my computer to open a page on my desktop?"

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Pages 5 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

    I just bought a new MacBook Air. In my old one, I could go from screen to screen by using three fingers to swipe over the key pad. This one just sits there. It is Yosemite. How do I set up preferences so I can use three fingers to move from screen to screen?

  • How can I set a book to open full-page?

    I can't track the information I'm looking for, so I need to ask:
    How can I set a book to open full-page and not with the graphic table-of-contents? I'd like to lead in with a video (when the book is first launched), and have the video hand off to the copyright page, full page, not where the reader has to pick it from the graphical table of contents.
    Many thanks for your help!

    I'm a frequent user of the Reminders app but I want to set a reminder that will automatically open another app.
    Maybe I should make a suggestion to apple to include it in the next iOS update.

  • Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is.  I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

    I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

  • How do I set my downloads to open in the finder ?

    How do I set my downloads to open?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If I understand your question correctly, you want to know how to 'open', view, or install something you've successfully downloaded from the internet and saved in the Downloads folder.
    I am unable to determine which operating system you are using on your MacBook. Your profile lists iOS 5, but iOS5 is for an iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad, not MacBook.
    Your MacBook likely has one of the OS X 'cats': 10.4 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, or 10.7 Lion. Click on the Apple icon in the top left menubar and select About This Mac to see which operating system you are using.
    If you are using OS X 10.7 "Lion", you should post your question in the OS X 10.7 Lion forum here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion
    These instructions are for a Mac using OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" but the process is very similar with OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    Here's one way:
    Open Finder by clicking on the icon in the lower left corner of your Dock.
    Under Places in the left column, click on the 'House' icon in the left column. It probably has your name after it.
    That will open a list of file folders and files in the right column.
    Click on the Downloads folder.
    Clicking on the Name column heading in the right column will sort the file list by that column.
    Clicking on the column heading a second time will sort the file list in reverse order.
    Locate the file you want.
    Single click on the filename and press the space bar to preview many types of files, including documents, spreadsheets, and images.
    To open the file, double-click on the filename.
    If the file has the extension .dmg, it is a disk image file (program to be installed) and will open the file installer dialog. You will likely need to enter your Administrator password to install the program.

  • How do I set format preferences?

    Sorry to be stupid but how do I set the preferences in my FCP 10.0.3 to ensure it ingests, edits and exports in 1080i HD PAL 25fps ? I only get Import preferences when I go to Preferences.
    Thank you.

    PAL is standard definition. Normally FCP imports exactly what you shot as QuickTime. When you place a video clip in the timeline as the first item, it sets the project properties based on that clip. The current settings normally exports in ProRes.
    P.S. The bottom of your message says FCE. I assume that's not what you mean.

    Hello Argelius
    If you select a word file in the Finder and do File>Get Info you will see a section in there where you can specify which application should be used to open files of that type.
