How to change folder location for Downloads

I want this folder to be on a different hard drive... is there a way?

RC -R
True, you can copy the download folder's icon by selecting "get info" then clicking the icon, selecting copy, then selecting the target/desired folder for downloads, selecting "get info", clicking once on the icon and selecting paste.
However, this doesn't get you the uber-cool green download arrow in the sidebar.
Leopard really should have a preference in System Preferences for a default Downloads folder location...no matter the drive or location. I too prefer my downloads be directed to a different drive and had manually created "downloads" folders in my sidebars in prior versions of the OS.
As others have commented, the icons in Leopard for the special folders lack differentiation in both color and silhouette/shape, relying on those embossed characters that are a bit too subtle for my tastes...but that's just opinion.
Similarly, Leopard should introduce default browser and media app selection in preferences instead of requiring the launch of Safari or QuickTime etc.. It's an incredibly poor choice to bury preferences with system wide applicability in proprietary apps.

  • PSE 8 folder location for downloaded actions missing

    Trying to download actions for use in PSE 8. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. Adobe help + several websites instruct to download actions to
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\8.0\Locale\en_US\Workflow Panels\actions
    However, this folder does not exist:
    Suggestions welcome!!!

    You have to tell windows to show hidden files and folders.
    Then you should see the program data folder.

  • How to check the location of download folder programmatically in browsers like Safari, Firefox etc on Mac?

    I am a part of Automation testing and I am downloading and installing the files programmatically with Selenium and Applescript on Mac. Is their any way to check the location of download folder on browsers programmatically?? if so pls suggest and also ways to change the location of download folder in Java or Applescript.

    You will need to read and write to preference files. A job best suited for the shell with either command line tool, defaults or PlistBuddy. Each application preference file has its own structure. Reading Safari's preference file is easy.
    defaults read $HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari DownloadsPath
    Firefox isn't as clear but this should give you the download path.
    defaults read $HOME/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox NSNavLastRootDirectory
    Firefox also keeps a sqlite database of downloads which may be useful to query. Command line tools can be wrapped in Applescript. Also, programmatically changing preference files on an open application is discouraged.

  • How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes?

    How can I change the location for the backup from iphone to itunes? I want to backup to my external harddisk and not the computer itself. How do I do it?

    Moving the iOS device backup location
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up, or with Start > Run on older Windows.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: (for example) type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your preferred drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    If you have Windows XP then you'll need a third-party tool such as Junction to link the two locations together instead of the MkLink command. The source folder is C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • Can i change the location for backup in my widows 7 ?

    How can i change the location for the bacup in my windows 7?Thanks.

    First, make sure iTunes isn't running
    Now, move the C:\Users\(yourname)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ folder to your preferred location. My was F:\iTunesMobileSync. This is up to you.
    Finally, start a command prompt as an administrator. You can do this from the Start Menu, type cmd.exe, then right click and select Run As Administrator. From the command prompt, create an junction point as I do below, just change f:\yournewfolder with your new location.One thing to to make sure of, don't end up with a folder like f:\yournewbackupfolder\Backup\Backup, so be sure to check how your folders ended up when you moved them.
    mklink /J "C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "f:\yournewfolder\Backup"
    You should see something like this in Windows 7. Note the little "shortcut" overlay icon? That's saying this is a link.
    You can also confirm it with dir from the command line. Note the <junction>:
    C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync>dir
    Directory of C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync
    11/25/2011  10:10 PM    <DIR>          .
    11/25/2011  10:10 PM    <DIR>          ..
    11/25/2011  10:10 PM    <JUNCTION>     Backup [f:\iTunesMobileSync\Backup]
                   0 File(s)              0 bytes
                   3 Dir(s)  97,594,851,328 bytes free
    If you are still on XP and not Vista or Windows 7, you don't have mklink, but you can use the junction utility in the same way.
    This works.

  • How to change bucket capacity for a certain date range (duration)?

    Hi,
    I need to update the bucket capacities of Resource at Vendor location in APO live cache for a particular period using BAPI_RSSRVAPS_CHANGEMULTI.
    Here I am executing BAPI by passing -
    Import Parameters:
    LOGICAL_SYSTEM
    COMMIT_CONTROL
    PLANNING_VERSION
    Tables:
    RESOURCE_HEAD
    (RESOURCE = Resource  " Test123
    LOCATION = Vendor Number/Loctaion
    CAPACITY_A = 5000.000
    NUM_OF_PERIODS = 001
    PERIOD = 02    " Day Wise
    UTIL_BUCKET = 100.000 )
    RESOURCE_HEAD_X
    (All corresponding fields X)
    RESOURCE_QUANMODEL
    (RESOURCE = Resource  " Test123
    VERSION = 01
    ENDDA = 02/25/2011
    BEGDA = 02/21/2011
    QUANMODEL = 8000 )
    RESOURCE_QUANMODEL_X
    (All corresponding fields X)
    [ I have a capacity variance:
    Resource = Test123; Capacity Varient = 01; Valid From = 02/21/2011
    Valid To = 02/25/2011; Bucket Util Rate = 100.000; Qty/Rate definition = 8000 ]
    Now, while I execute /SAPAPO/RES01 to display Capacity for that resource-Location-PlanningVersion, Its showing that 'Bucket Capacity' and 'SNP Bucket Capacity' get changed into 5000. But this change happend for all the days and not only for the duration I passed into Bapi (From BEGDA to ENDDA).
    How to change bucket capacity for a certain date range (duration)? Any help please.
    Thanks
    Roy

    I did it myself. Hence closing the thread.
    Solution:
    1. Get RESUID from /SAPAPO/RESKEY table by passing Resource as NAME.
    2. Call Function Module /SAPAPO/CRES_QUANPROF_UPDATE
    3. Call Function Module /SAPAPO/CRES_SAVE_FROM_BT
    For further help, change manually a single record in the 'capacity profile' in TXN /SAPAPO/RES01 and debug both the FM mentioned above.

    Thanks Patrick. I used Control-Click on the actual audio file on my desktop opened the Show View Options menu and turned off the icon preview option. That changed my icons from gray with a white background to red with a white background which is exactly what I wanted.  You pointed me in the right direction. Appreciate it.

  • How to change the Icon for a JFileChooser ?

    Has anyone figured out how to change the icon for an instance of JFileChooser from the coffee cup to something else?
    I'm on 1.4
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Never mind. I figured it out.
    You have to use an instance of JFrame in the call to showXxxxDialog(Component c). Set the icon of the JFrame to what you want the JFileChooser's icon to be.
