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.

why not? use LiteIcon then. it's free and is MUCH safer than mucking with system files by hand. if you insist you can do it as follows. go to /system/library/coreservices. control-click on coretypes.bundle and select "show package contents". go to contents-> resources. change the file GenericFolderIcon.icns with your own .icns file. back up the original bundle first. -
How do I set the default Object Placement in new pages?
I often drag and drop images to pages, but the default is that these images do not move with the text.
How do I change the default for this setting? This always worked with the old pages 09...
I've tried a lot of different approaches including creating a new template or applying a new style to the objects. But it seems that the style does not affect the object placement settings at all. And the template didn't work either.
Has anybody already figured out how to do this?
Many thanks in advance!
xifleHello xifle, I have the same issue with pages. Indeed, it is time consuming to have to format the placement of each image I insert so that text wraps around it. Sometimes, I would need the image to float so that I can position it more effectively. Finally, wouldn't it be nice to have screen shots inserted into a pages doc scale down to a pred-determined size. We are surely hundreds of users needing this same feature. Great streamlining, but an overall weak version of Pages at the moment. Regards, Emmanuel in Switzerland

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.

You can look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab:

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 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.
heroHi,
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.

How can I set the default line height?
Greetings,
I have a report that displays observed behavior in a list format like the one below:
Behavior Observed:
Withdrawn
Happy
Sad
angry
There are 5 responses as to the severity of the behavior or it is left blank if the behavior was within normal limits.
So the output would look like this:
Behavior Observed:
Withdrawn (mild)
Happy
Sad (moderate)
angry
The problem is that when this report was designed the details sections were not uniformy formatted and the spacing between data elements is hard to follow from the label to the data field. I tried to set the details to be uniform by selecting "Arrange Lines", however when I do this, the data is displayed too close horizontally. So my question is how do I set the default line height for each field so that they are uniform in distance from each other but not too close due to the font height?
Does this make sense?
Thank you,
KevinI'm confused... How are you associating line height with horizontal field spacing???
If you have this...
Behavior Observed: Severity:
Withdrawn (mild)
Happy
Sad (moderate)
angry
But want it to look like this...
Behavior Observed:
Withdrawn (mild)
Happy
Sad (moderate)
angry
all you have to do is create a concatenation formula. Something like this...
{TableName.BehaviorObserved} & " (" & {TableName.Severity} &")"
Sorry if I've misunderstood what you are trying to do.

How do I set the default text in a bound textbox?
How do I set the default value of a bound textbox when the AddNewItem button on the MenuStrip is clicked?
I have the following code (see below), but for some reason it does work when I put the code in the
AddNewItem_Click event; however, it does work if I put it in the
Form's Load Event. The statement in question is Me.txtBusUsagePct.Text = 100.
What am I doing wrong? Why can't I set the default text in the AddNewItem_Click
event?
Private Sub BindingNavigatorAddNewItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BindingNavigatorAddNewItem.Click
Me.txtBusUsagePct.Text = "100"
End Sub
BobV365Hello,
Here I am using mocked up data but the important thing is after loading the data. Requires on the form a BindingNavigator and two text boxes.
Public Class Form1
WithEvents bsData As New BindingSource
Private Sub Form1_Load(
ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Using MockedData As New DataTable()
MockedData.Columns.AddRange(New DataColumn() _
New DataColumn("PartName", GetType(String)),
New DataColumn("partqty", GetType(Int32))
MockedData.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Part A", 100})
MockedData.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Part 99", 34})
MockedData.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Part B", 4})
bsData.DataSource = MockedData
End Using
CType(bsData.DataSource, DataTable).AcceptChanges()
BindingNavigator1.BindingSource = bsData
TextBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", bsData, "Partname")
TextBox2.DataBindings.Add("Text", bsData, "partqty")
End Sub
Private Sub bsData_AddingNew(
ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.AddingNewEventArgs) _
Handles bsData.AddingNew
Dim dv As DataView = TryCast(bsData.List, DataView)
Dim rv As DataRowView = dv.AddNew()
rv("PartName") = "(new)"
rv("partqty") = 0
e.NewObject = rv
bsData.MoveLast()
End Sub

How do you change the default size of the print batch size for mail merge in Publisher 2010?
I appended this question to another thread with the same topic but have not received a reply, so I'll try with a new question. Publisher 2010, when doing mail merge, will only merge and print two records at a time. How do you change the default size of
the print batch size? This is for a 4 page document, 8 1/2 x 11, printed two sides on 11 x 17. I've tried all the suggestions that were in the other thread. The response that was marked as the answer by the moderator is incorrect and does not work. Nothing
suggested in that thread works. A registry fix that worked for Publisher 2003 won't work because the print batch size key does not exist in the registry for Pub 2010. At least not that I can find. Printing to an XPS document doesn't work. It asks for a filename,
prints 2 records, asks for new file name, prints 2 records, asks for new file name, and so on. The same for printing to a PDF document. Merging to a new Pub document doesn't work. When I print that job every other sheet is turned over. I.e., sheet one has
pages 1 & 3 on top, next sheet has 3 & 4 on top, and so on. This makes it impossible to run them through the folder. The same thing happens when I print that complete merged document to XPS or PDF. I have the latest drivers installed for our printer, a Toshiba
2500C copier/printer connected via network. What do I need to do to to change the batch size to something reasonable, like 100 records?It's been two weeks since I posted this question. What does it take to get an answer? I cannot believe it's being ignored, nor can I believe that someone in MS doesn't have an answer.

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.Originally posted by: kwarner.uneedspeed.net
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.
