How do I set the default folder for file - open file... ?

When I save a file, photo, etc., the default folder for OPENING a file becomes the last folder I SAVED to - even after closing and reopening Firefox. Is there a way to maintain the same default folder for opening files?
Thanks.

Well... I found over 200 bugs none of which seemed to talk about setting
the default folder. I probably missed the relevant bug in the spew.
I ask a question here as a last resort -- after I've done what I think
is an appropriate search for answers.
But thanks for your help in any case.

  • How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat.  All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

    How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat.  All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.  I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting.  I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened.  Can I set this as a default view?

    Hey Kris,
    You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
    Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
    Try this and then let me know.

  • How do I set the default time for calendar alerts?

    How do I set the default time for calendar alerts? I always want to have an alert 15 minutes before my appointments. I don't want to have to manually set it each time I make an appointment (I just moved to iphone from a windows mobile where this was basic stuff so I apologise if this is a noob question).

    I have the same issue. I've searched these forums and found lots of people who have asked this same question, but nobody who has received an answer.
    About a year ago, I migrated from a Windows PC and a Blackberry (both of which had very simple default alert options) to a MacBook Pro and an iPhone and have yet to find a solution on this forum or from any of my Apple-savvy friends. Very discouraging.

  • How do I set the default zoom for new sheets to 150%?

    I'm using the latest edition of Numbers and I'd like to set the default zoom for new sheets to be 150% when they are created rather than the default 100%. Does anybody know how to do this?
    Thanks,
    d.

    Try Numbers menu > Preferences > Rulers >Default Zoom.

  • How do I change the default folder for saving contacts?

    I have happily used Outlook for several years for POP accounts.  My recent addition of an Exchange account has hijacked several default behaviors that I was used to.  For one,  contacts are now saved by default in the exchange related contact
    folder instead of the folder that is associated with my primary POP account.  How do I reconfigure Outlook to saved contacts to my preferred folder, so that I don't have to constantly move the new contacts after they are saved?  I do not want this
    information on the exchange account.  This bad behaviour occurs no matter what email account is read, from which I am saving the contact info.
    To reproduce the problem:  Open a message in the POP email, right click on the FROM email address, choose Add to Contacts from the menu, find the contact stored in the exchange contact folder instead of the contact folder for the POP account (the folder
    that Outlook USED to save to prior to adding the exchange account).
    Work around: (annoying the first few times, mentally unhealthy after more than a few) Save the contact, then manually move it to the correct folder.

    Hi,
    What version of Outlook are you using?
    I have test this in Outlook 2010/ Windows 7.
    If set POP as default outlook data file(.pst),
    Open a message in the POP email, and right click "Add to Contact" in FROM with External email address, it will save to POP contact folder.
    If the Email address end with @Exchange.com, it always save to Exchange contact folder, no matter what is default email account, maybe this behavior by default.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can you set the max row for a 'open cursor' in a stored proc?

    I would like to know how can you set the maximum amount of row returned in a resultset coming from a stored proc?
    You can do it via JDBC with cStatement.setMaxRows(10); but it works only for select that you do via JDBC...
    I would like the same functionality using open cursor inside a stored proc...
    Thanks...

    is "where ROWNUM <= 10" the equivalent of "cStatement.setMaxRows(10);" because the ROWNUM as problem with the ORDER BY clause and the setMaxRows() as no problem...

  • In PSE 12, how can I change the default folder for scans?

    By default, PSE uses the Windows preferred location for this user.  I have a folder that is easier to access, simply D:\Scans, and I have to enter this manually, as well as removing the default to set up a folder with "today's date" every time I do a scan.  I would like to modify these default settings.  Surely those locations must be held in an installed file somewhere, and so if I can just edit that file I'd be very happy!  All help appreciated.

    I have no suggestion for registry editing or setting files editing, but depending on which version of Windows you have you don't have to stick with C:\Users. Right-click the relevant folder and change the location in the Location tab.

  • How do I set the default folder in which to save scans?

    I'm using an MX922.   I think someone asked the same question for the MX850, but I didn't find any replies.  Would like to change the folder that the front panel SCAN button sends the file to. Thanks for any help.

  • 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 page for a new tab?

    For some reason every time I open a new tab it goes to Bing. I would prefer it be blank, or even go to Google instead.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
    *NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

  • How do I set the default size of a new folder?

    I have finder sized the way I want for existing folders and if I do Finder > New Finder Window. These preferrences, however, do not seem to apply to new folders. Everytime I create a new folder on my desktop, and open that folder for the first time, the window size is really small and the sidebar is narrow. This is incredibally annoying. How do I set the default size for all new folders? Is there a plist file I can edit to fix this? Or an AppleScript I can run automatically in the background that fixes this? I am running Mavericks 10.9.1.

    If you use the Finder's New Finder Window command (command N) to create a new window, resize it, place it where you want, and set it for icon view or however you want it. Then close it. Closing it is what sets these as the default. That should become the default for every new Finder window you create using the new window command. But if you have lots of windows open at once and then close them, the last window you close will set a new default.
    There are lots of utilities that control Windows - their size and placement. I use one called Moom but there are many more.

  • 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.
    hero

    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.
    Regards,

  • How do I modify the default account for events in iCal?

    I have several email accounts (for biz&home) and I want to use them, depending on the event, as the account from where an invitation from iCal is sent. So if a have a football game with friends, I want to use my personal account when sending an iCal event. But when I want to make a biz meeting, I want to use my work account in that invitation. How or where can I make these selections/options appear? Is it possible?
    If not, how can I set the default account for invitations in iCal? (I already have a "default" account in Mail, but iCal is not using that account for invitations).
    Any help is appreciated

    Hi salazar2,
    Been dealing with a similar issue for about 3 years now, so I know your pain. I founded a company in 2009 called Zamain that is focused on making Mac calendaring more productive. Our first product, Zamain for Mac, solves your problem as well as Apple iCal to Microsoft Outlook/Exchange incompatibilities. The current version includes the following features:
    * Sends iCal invitations that Outlook users can actually open
    * Sends invitations from any email account
    * Lets you add comments to invitation replies
    * Makes timezones actually work
    * Prevents weird attachments from appearing in your invitation emails
    Although I know that this is a shameless plug for my product, I urge you to give it a try because it will really make your life easier. We have a happy user base, are actively developing new solutions, and are always open to suggestions.
    You can get Zamain for Mac at www.zamain.com.
    Thanks!

  • "I would like to know how to set the default view for the columns. Somewhere I read it could be done in by music icon under Library.  Can't find it.  Thanks

    "I would like to know how to set the default view for the columns that are shown in iTunes. Every time I open it, I have to either go to the options, or right-click to get the pop-up options, and delete "rating" and add "composer." I'd really like to just do it once and be done with it."  Somewhere I read you could do this by clicking on the Music icon under LIBRARY then arramge the columns.  Trouble is, I can't find a Musi Folder or icon in my user library.
    Any help would be appreiated.  OSX 10.9.2  iTunes version 11.1.5  Thanks!!! CW!

    From the iTunes menu bar try View>Show View Options.  Make sure what you want to see is checked and what you don't is unchecked.  You can do this (may need to do this) for any playlists, your main Library, etc.
    Good luck
