How do I stop Thuderbird from saving an attachment when I double click it

This only appears to be an issue for Thunderbird in OS X.
When I choose to save an attachment, a Finder-like window opens. If I double click a directory, the file will automatically save there. A more natural behavior, in my opinion, is to descend into that directory, which will happen if I single click the directory.
Does anyone know how I can change the behavior so that a double click descends into the directory instead of saving the file.
Thanks for your help.

Can you post a screenshot of the version set expanded?

How do I stop 'recents' appearing on my screen when I double click?

A New IO8 feature has appeared on my email screen when I double click, a list of " recent" contacts, allegedly, from my iPhone. I do not want these to appear on my iPad. I have switched off notifications from i message but they still appear. Note this of course happens when the iPad is functionning normally which is rarely now as it is either frozen, or just thinking, or not responding at all....all after the upgrade to IO 8.

Just found the answer: settings, mail , contact switcher, off.

How do I stop AE from changing my workspace when loading a project?

How do I stop AE from changing my workspace when loading a project? I've looked everywhere and can't find it. I work on a lot of projects that a peer works on and his screen size is smaller and his workspace is different than mine. Is there a setting I can change so that when I open one of his projects my AE window doesn't change?

No. That behavior is intended. The problem is probably that your colleague uses the "Standard" workspace in a custom configuration and since it is matched by name, it emsses up your "Standard" workspace as well. Therefore advise your colleague to create his own workspace with a custom name and/or create your own custom workspace to be able to more quickly reset things.

I am using 10.7.4. How can I stop Preview from saving versions.

In Lion, 10.7.4 Prieview was changed to use Versions. This means the previous options of SaveAs is no longer available.
I want to be able to open a file in Preview and SaveAs (now Export) my changes, without having Preview then save those changes in the original file when I close the window. I know that I can use Revert to get back to the original, but is is time consuming and annoying to have to do so. How can I stop Lion from using versions??

How do I stop Lion from moving desktop icons when I startup?

When I starup my iMac with Lion 10.7.1, the desktop icons that I have on my desktop organized in a particular order, all move to the far right of the desktop and do not stay in the same order. How can I stop this from happening? When I shut down, I uncheck the box open all windows when restarting, and I have unchecked the open application windows in the general section of system preferences.
Thanks for the help!

How do I stop iTunes from compressing audio/photos when transferred to IOS device? (iPad

Hello,
     I have noticed that 13GB of photo's only equals around 3GB on the iPad and iPhone. I noticed the same thing with audio. Although, I do not notice the compression with video.
     My question is, how do I stop it from compressing photo's if I want to? I understand it saves space, but what if I wanted to email the full size photo to someone. This also may defeat the purpose of some editing programs. I would like to know how to do the same with audio.
     It does not affect the original files in anyway, correct? Also, I using the manual drag and drop option for Movies and audio. I sync with the photos.

With syncing photos you can't change how they are synced, iTunes will 'optimise' them when copying them over to the device - and no, the original photos on your computer are not affected, iTunes creates separate 'optimised' versions of the photos on your computer and copies those over.
If you want the original versions of the photos on your iPad then (and if there were only a few that you wanted full-scale) you could email them to yourself and use 'open in' in the Mail app to copy them to the Photos app, or use the camera connection kit with your iPad to copy them via an SD card to it - photos copied via the kit are copied full resolution, they aren't changed.
Or there are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which can copy photos to/from your computer via the 'file sharing' section on the device's Apps tab in iTunes, they will be copied as-is - that app can also copy photos to/from it and the Photos app.
For your music, on the device's Summary tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, under the Options heading have you currently got the 'convert higher bit rate songs to ...' set ?

Notes - How do I stop it from saving a copy every a few words?

When I select "All Notes" there are 20-40 copies of each note and each one has just a few words less than the previous one which means it's doing some kind of auto-save. I don't want it to do this because it makes it harder to look through the notes and its completely unneccsary. There is no preferences to adjust anything so I have no idea how to change anything.

I'm using 10.8.5 so it's right on the dock and connects to email or apple id's.
I'm not sure how it lead me to the 10.5.8 section I just clicked moutain lion within iCloud section.

How can I stop Firefox from restoring minimized windows when I open a new Firefox instance?

Say I have 10 Firefox windows minimized. When I start a new instance of Firefox, all the minimized windows are restored! Then I must manually minimize them all over again. How can I stop this behavior?
Firefox 3.6.10, Windows 7

Did you perform the fixes from the "Preferences not saved" article?
Try to delete or rename/move the prefs.js file and other possible prefs-##.js with a number and user.js files in the Firefox Profile Folder.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Make sure that Firefox isn't running when you delete files in the profile folder.

How do I stop previews of recent activity appearing when I double tap the home button

HHow do I stop previews of recent activity from appearing when I double tap the home button

As others have mentioned, you are seeing the Multitasking bar which is a feature of iOS:
Understand multitasking and background activity on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If left alone long enough and after running many apps over a period of time, iOS will eventually close off the app(s) that have not been used for the longest period of time to gain back memory to be used to run other apps that are currently not in Multitasking. There's no way to automatically prevent an app from appearing in the Multitasking bar nor any way to shut them all down at once. You can easily close them off manually as needed by swiping up on the app's displayed screen shot (NOT the lower icon). Multitasking is by design and cannot be changed/modified.

How do I stop Firefox from saving a file that I only want to open?

I have been trying to open .exe files on my computer, but instead of getting an 'open' option, I can only choose between 'save' and 'cancel'. Is there any way I can bring back my 'open' option?
(I don't think it shows up during my other downloads, either.)

No, you can't open an .exe file directly.<br />
Firefox will only offer to save such an executable file to allow your anti-virus software to scan the file and give you extra time to reconsider if you really want to run.

How do you stop Lightroom from automatically making adjustemnts when you are looking at the images?

There is some kind of auto adjustment happening when I look at my images for the first time.
Any knowledge of this, I've looked in help and can't find anything.
Anyone know how to make it stop?
Usually it looks pretty good, but it would be nice to simply revert if you don't like what it did.
If you could please e-mail me, I don't really like the format of this forum, so I'm don't know when I'll be back, or where my post will be!
Thanks!

Jayme, what you see first is the camera produced jpg (thumbnail) which is done by the camera at the time the shot is taken even if you have set the camera to save as raw. This thumbnail jpg, which is part of the raw file, is required for you to view the image on the camera lcd screen. If it were not produced you would not be able see the image either in the camera or on your computer. Raw files are not in a viewable format until they are processed by a raw converter.
When you import the raw files into the LR library LR will first display the camera produced thumbnail as a preview until it has been able to convert the raw data. This is done at the LR default settings. Since the LR conversion engine is different from the camera firmware it is not able to produce an exact jpg image. LR does not have the info/ technology used by the camera and uses its own proprietary procedures to produce its own conversion.
All the camera manufacturers have their own proprietary technology for processing the raw data which is not publicly shared for competitive reasons.
Tools are provided in LR to allow you to make your own adjustments to the raw data and create an image to your liking. Hopefully even better than what your camera is able to produce. You now have your own "darkroom" to produce your images.
There are lots of tutorials available to bring your skils up to mark. Have fun. There is a thread in the FAQ which deals with this issue. Every raw converter has its own taste which you can adjust.

How do you stop Safari from removing last download when it's of the same file type? (e.g., when I download a new pps file I can no longer open a pps file that I've just downloaded)

When I download a .pps file, I can open it from the downloads and everything is great. But if I try to download another one, then I can no longer access the previous download from the download bar. This is very annoying to me as I download and open dozens of these files every day. Is there some way that I can display all the files in the download bar and not just the last file downloaded of a certain type (a way to get Safari to stop hiding the .pps files)

To prevent Firefox from displaying form autocomplete suggestions, you can turn off that feature using the about:config page.
In the address bar, type or paste '''about:config''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
I suggest bookmarking this for easier future access.
In the search box, type or paste '''formf''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
Scroll down to '''browser.formfill.enable''' and tap the Toggle button to switch it from true to false.
That's it. Does it work on Facebook?
''The about:config preferences editor in the mobile version is similar in principle to the desktop version but many of the preferences available on the desktop version have no effect in mobile. This one I only tested on one site, but it seems to work.''

How do I stop Thunderbird from creating additional folders when I add a new mail account?

I've been using Thunderbird for about 8 years now, migrating the configuration from version to version. Currently I have two accounts it picks up email from. I want to add a third account but everytime I do this, it creates a bunch of new folders with the name of the account in my folder tree. This is undesirable, mainly because it looks terrible and it's also dodging the default filtering I have set up globally for received messages.
How do I create a new mail account without it making new folders and just using the local folders like the other accounts already do?
I do not use Thunderbird's internal spam filtering, I use popfile and use message filters to sort the emails by headers Popfile adds to my messages. I do not understand why it won't let me make a new account like the other accounts without making a special folder for the new account. Please help?

Item 1. Global inbox only works with POP mail accounts.
Tools menu > account settings >server Settings > advanced and select use global inbox to turn it on. Note the folder will disappear, so move the mail you want from them before you change the settings.
Item 2. IMAP accounts must have their own folders. The View menu > folder > unified view was designed to overcome that as much as possible,
