How do I set the folder to which temporary files are saved?

As of now, whenever I click "Open with..." when downloading a file, a copy of that file saves to my desktop and never gets cleared. I'd like to set the temporary folder so I can manually clear it periodically, but the only file management option I seem to have is to set downloads to always save in a certain folder--which does not appear to include "temporary" files. How can I change the destination folder for temporary downloads? And why does Firefox download and save the files before opening them? I don't want to save every PDF I read online, yet this seems to be the default setting in order to open files.

You probably need to set that temp folder in the Safari Preferences to set them for other programs.
Safari > Preferences > General > Save Dowloaded Files To
You can also set the Boolean pref browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit to true on the about:config page.

  • How does one change the folder to which scanned images are saved?

    Using a CanoScan 9000F Mark II scanner
    Using the ScanGear driver software that came with it
    Right now every time I scan something, it is automatically saved in "My Documents", and I have to drag and drop the file where I really want it to go. How do I change it so that the file is saved where I want it to go in the first place. Also, it is automatically assigning a file name so that I have to go to the file and change that to what I would like it to be too. How do I make it so that I can name the file before it gets saved. Neither do I see where it gives me the option to choose the format in which the file is saved; it is saving the files automatically as JPG, but I would like to save them as TIFF or BMP.
    These seem to be very standard options; so I don't know why I'm finding it so hard. I must be blind or something.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

    Hello barbarossa,
    Great question!  You can change all these settings through the My Image Garden software.  The exact procedure will vary depending on the version of Windows you are using.
    If you are having any difficulty locating this software, feel free to visit the link below to let us know your operating system and we can follow-up with step-by-step directions.  Thanks!

  • 8330 Call Forwarding​...How do I set the number of rings before calls are forwarded?

    8330 Call Forwarding...How do I set the number of rings before calls are forwarded? Right now it instantly forwards my calls but I don't want that. I want to change it so that let's say that if after 5 rings I don't answer the call is forwarded. I've looked everywhere for an answer but have had no luck. Any help would be appreciated. I am with Virgin Mobile if this makes a difference.
    Thank you

    Well, call forwarding is a feature provided by your carrier -- it is not a function of the device. However it works for your carrier is how it works. Actually, from what I understand about call forwarding, it normally is an all-or-nothing circumstance...calls forward to the number you've asked them to be forwarded to, keeping you in a DND status. Regardless, though, if your carrier tells you how it works on their system, there's nothing that the device can do to override that. Unless there is some kind of 3rd party app that would do it, bypassing (somehow) the carrier network CF feature...but I've never heard of such a thing.

  • How do I change the folder in which Mail saves sent e-mails (On my Mac)?

    If I send an e-mail from my iPad, te e-mail is saved in "sent items". However, if I send an e-mail from my Mac, with mail, the e-mail is saved in another folder: "Sent Messages".
    I know I can easily change the folder in which the iPad saves sent e-mails, but I would like to change this setting on my Mac, so that the Mac saves sent e-mails exactely where the iPad saves snet e-mails.
    Is it possible to change this setting on the Mac?

    There might. (Stress, might.)
    Quit Mail.
    Make a backup of <~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist>.
    Open it with a suitable text editor (eg, TextWrangler), or plist editor (eg, Xcode, Pref Setter).
    Look for the key "SentMessagesMailboxName". Replace the string "Sent Messages" with what you want.
    Repeat for every such key. Save.
    Launch Mail. Test. If anything goes wrong, replace com.apple.mail.plist with the backup.
    Warning: I have not tested this myself, so I don't know if it works and/or if it causes any problems.

  • How should i set the baseURI when a db file path with a space

    if the db file in a path like c:\program file\myapplication,then i set the baseURI dbxml:c:\program file\myapplication ,some exception occur~what should i do ?
    thanks a lot

    The Base URI needs to be a valid URI, which means it cannot include the Windows '\' character at all. In your case, you should be fine using something along the lines of "file:////C:/program file/myapplication"
    (give or take a '/' or two -- I haven't tested this).
    It's a common for BDB XML users to confuse the argument to create/openContainer() (a filesystem path) with the Base URI (a URI). The meanings and requirements are different. The best thing to do is to set and use a container alias (XmlContainer::addAlias()) to use in your queries.

  • How do I create a folder to which PDF documents are automatically saved?

    I save many PDF documents which I then attach to various internal forms.
    Is there a way to create a folder to which the scanned document can automatically be saved without having to browse for the folder every time I save a document?

    Unless your scanning software has that feature, "Save as" opens up a "browse" window by default in Windows or Mac. I had an old Lexmark scanner that allowed setting a default save location for "bulk scans", but I haven't seen that feature in years.

  • How can I set the last mod of a file

    I get the last mod of a file (advanced file I/O palette -> File/Directory info)
    My problem is, that I download some files from a FTP-Server and the last mod of the downloaded file is not the same as on the ftp-server (the local file has always the time stamp from the downloaded date/time).
    I can list the timestamp from the files on the ftp-server, now I wanna change the last mod from my local file in the same as on the ftp-server.
    How can I make this?
    Thanks

    Hello TheDharmaInitiative,
    The "last modified" Attribute of a file can be altered programmatically using Windows API Functions.
    For LabVIEW i found a Post in a external Forum with some Sourcecode attached:

  • How do I set the default screen a pdf file opens on?

    I have a laptop on a docking station, and by default the pdf file would open on my external monitor.  For some reason, it now opens on my laptop screen by default.  How can I change this?  I am using Reader X.  Thanks!

    I would say one changes that in a control panel, not in Reader.

  • How do I change the defalt localion that my photos are saved it.

    Lightroom is saving all my photos in the wrong folder from that I want and I can not find for the life of me where to change that in LightRoom 4?
    I am new to using it.
    Thanks so much!
    Martin Brossman

    In the Import Dialog on the right side is the <Destination panel>. It is only visible if you select the option <Move> or <Copy> at the top center of the Import Dialog; if you select <Add> it is not visible.
    In the <Destination panel> you select a folder where you want the imported images to go.
    If you have photos in the "wrong folder" do this: In the Grid View click on the "wrong folder" so that it is highlighted. Then select all the image sthat you don't want in this folder.
    You select multiple images by clicking the first one and then Ctrl / Cmd + click the others one by one (or Shift + click the last one - that will select all images between the first and the last).
    After you have selected all the images just drag-and-drop them onto the "right folder".
    Since you are new to Lr, I recommend that you watch some of the video tutorials on Adobe's website. They're excellent.
    For starters see here:

  • How to transfer itunes library to new computer? files are saved on ipod

    I have an ipod classic with all my music and movies but now that I have a new laptop and had to download itunes again none of my songs are in my library! I have not synced for fear of losing what I do have so I also need to know how to save what I have into a file on the computer as backup.
    Help save my music!

    iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows

    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • I wanted to transfer 4000  photos from my PC to my IPOD and IPAD, I did this but I thought the images would be still in their folders and not in an individual format, how do I retain the folder structure and transfer?

    I transferred my photos from my PC to my IPOD and IPAD, c. 4000. I thought they would be transferred in the existing folders, all I got was 4000 individual photos, how do I retain the folder structure?

    If you are syncing a number of folders from your computer then each folder should get it's own album on the iPad (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236) - I assume that you've touched the 'Albums' button at the top of the Photos app so as to view them by album, and not just the Photos 'button'.
    You could try closing the Photos app completely and then re-opening it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Photos 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Photos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Another option is to try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
