In linux, saving a background image (set as Desktop)feature doesnt download my image to wallpaper folder..or even to standard "Save download" feature. Can I tell firefox where (what folder) to save my "Set as Desktop" picture?

When I find a suitable picture to use as wallpaper" I often right click and use the menu item "Set as Desktop Background". The file ""example.jpg" is saved in directory\folder "/home/user" rather than for example "/home/user/my wallpaper" or in the directory
"/home/user/Downloads". The latter as being set under the "Downloads" section on the "General" tab in the "Preferences" dialog box.
Is there a configuration file where I can change the default location to save my "Set as Desktop Background" images. Or better still can the menu be customized to launch the application that allows me to set my desktop wallpapers?
I am using the "PCLinuxOS" Linux OS but I have encountered this issue in many if not all the Linux distributions I have sampled.

Don't use "Set as Desktop". Use ''' "Save Image As..." ''' instead, and file it with your other "wallpaper" images so the operating system has access to those images.
IIRC, Firefox saves a "desktop image" to the Profile folder, and it will only save one image, at that. Change the image and the previous one is gone.

  • I'm getting my "new iPad" on Friday.  I'm replacing my original iPad (iPad 1).  Since I will not be going to the Apple store to get my iPad, can someone walk me thru what I should do to set up my new iPad on Friday?  I want to transfer my iPad 1 apps etc.

    I'm getting my "new" iPad on Friday.  I'm replacing my "original" iPad (1).  Since I preordered and will be receiving my iPad directly I will not be picking it up from the Apple store, so no set up from them.  Can someone walk me thru what I must to do get my new iPad up and running.  I want to transfer my info, apps, etc. to my new iPad but I also want to pass on my old one to a family member who uses the same computer.  How shall I proceed?  Thanks!

    If you want everything that's on your current iPad onto the new one, then you can first copy all purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You can then backup your current iPad and restore the new iPad from that backup (a list of what is included in a backup is in this article - it excludes music, videos, synced photos). As the backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their settings and content, for the restore to work completely you'll need all the relevant apps in your computer's iTunes library - otherwise the restore won't be able to install the apps and therefore their content (which is one reason to do File > Transfer Purchases, if that doesn't copy them over then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).
    The restore won't copy passwords onto a different device, so you will need to re-enter your email, router, and any website passwords onto the new iPad.
    Depending on what you want to remain on the iPad, you can then either leave it as it is or log out of your account on it (tap on it in Settings > Store) and then wipe it via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings.

  • I changed my browser url to blank now I cannot find bookmarks or menu toolbar, pls can someone tell me how to restore to original url setting?

    I tried to remove thumbnails from Firefox & following online advice went to browser.newtab.url and changed it to "blank", now when I open Firefox the menu bar with bookmarks etc is missing, but when I open a new tab the thumbnail images are still there, I don't have much experience & would appreciate advice as to how to restore. I tried restoring computer to earlier time but that didn't not restore the browser url to the state before I started messing with it. Please help!

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br>Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.
    You can use one of these to set which toolbars to show.
    *"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
    *View > Toolbars<br>Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
    *Right-click empty toolbar area
    What is the current value of the browser.newtab.url pref?
    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    You can create a new Boolean pref on the about:config page to prevent Firefox from generating thumbnails for the about:newtab page.
    *name: browser.pagethumbnails.capturing_disabled with value: true
    Delete the thumbnails folder in the Firefox profile folder to remove already stored web page thumbnails.

  • Can anyone tell me where on my macBook Pro my photos are saved?

    I can not seem to find my picture files anywhere on my computer.  I want to upload them to a website other than the Mac site for printing purposes.  I am running iPhoto 09 and Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    They are stored in the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Exactly What Optimizations Does "Save for Web" Perform?

    Hello all!
    In Photoshop Elements 5.0, Save for Web works very well for me.  I'll likely just use Save for Web most of the time, but occasionally I want to perform only some of the web optimizations on a particular image.  I'd like to know how to perform some or all of the same optimizations manually.
    Can anyone tell me what steps to take in the Editor (resizing, dpi changes, etc.) manually to mimic the Save for Web function?  Or point me to some documentation that explains exactly what Save for Web does to an image?
    - JTV

    Here's the help section on the subject for E6...should be the same. It should be exactly the same in E5...actually probably no difference in any of the versions.
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PhotoshopElements/6.0/help.html?content=WSCC0C7B37-3AD2-43ca-9 BF0-677BFC551D97.html
    Here's a video on using Save for Web.
    http://www.photoshopsupport.com/elements/tt/save-for-web.html
    If you want to do resizing manually, Image<Resize<Image Size. Here you can set the image's size and resolution and set if you want the image to be resampled or not.
    The compression would be done in the file<Save step.
    If you save as a jpg, you can set image quality. Notice that below the preview check box the file size for the current setting is displayed. You can also do a visual check of the before and after image by checking and unchecking the Preview box.
    Save As...for other file types display dialogs that apply to that image type.
    Here's a link about using Image size dialog if you want to get into specifics and the math.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331327.html
    There should also be an option in the Organizer for emailing images. Never used it myself by it's over there somewhere...

  • Firefox is not prompting to save password for specific user on specific site. How can I correct this?

    I am using saved passwords feature. The site in question is a common webmail site. I have more than one account for this site. Usernames and passwords for each account were stored in Firefox 'Remember Passwords' feature. I unintentionally deleted one entry from the dropdown list that is displayed when I go to the site's login page. Now, when I log in to this account, Firefox will not prompt to save the password. If I display my saved passwords list, there are entries for the other accounts on this site, but none for the user account in question. The Saved Passwords 'Exceptions' list is empty. How can I get Firefox to re-prompt to save the password for this user on this site? (Note: When I speak of 'user', I am not referring to user account on the PC or a specific Firefox user profile.)

    I am using Avast free version. Today I removed the LAN cable out of the 24 port switching hub and plugged directly into the router port. Now the program runs fast when checking for emails. Looks like all the emails are showing up. I do have other computers plugged into the switching hub with no problems. The hub is brand new. My thinking is the cable connector might be to blame. I will try re-crimping the wires. As for now, things are running good. I will keep investigating. Thanks

  • After import, image from camera replaced with old (and incorrect) image

    i imported photos this morning.  maybe 200.  into Lightroom 5.6 (with
    camera raw 8.6, running on macosx 10.9.5; see below for "system info").  the images came from my
    Leica M Typ 240, and were in raw format.  after importing the images, i
    went through them in my first editing pass.
    going through, image 1867 ("L1001867.DNG") in LR was *not* the same as
    image 1867 on my camera, but was, rather, an image (no longer on the
    card in my camera) from 8 months ago in China.
    the image on the camera was from 07.10.2014 15:49.15 (following one
    taken at 15:49:07, which *did* show up in LR).  the *meta* data in LR
    appears correct for the image from the camera (i.e, shows a date of
    07.10.2014, has likely exposure information, etc.), but the image itself
    is the wrong image.
    the image in LR *may* have been one i deleted (in LR), though i don't
    know that for sure.  if i *did* delete it, i deleted it months ago.
    the LR image was shot on 22.02.2014 at 02:51-02:52 (i typically don't
    change the clock).  while i don't know for sure the image number of the
    image in LR, it *appears* to be image 1419.
    obviously, this is fairly worrying (as i count of LR to keep my
    inventory!).  what can i do to help you troubleshoot this?  what can you
    tell me about what is happening?

    it appears the actual image is probably in place, but the *preview* is incorrect.  clicking on the image to zoom in causes (the normal) "Loading...", followed by a zoomed in view of the *correct* image.  zooming back out gives the normal view of the correct image.  (*very* good to know!)

  • Firefox promted me to save about 4 passwords and now won't prompt me. All the setting are just as they should be. Why has it stop prompting me to save passwords?

    This is a new machine though I am not new to Firefox. There are certain sites I have multiple accounts on in which Firefox as of a month ago saved every password for every account. Just turning on this machine for the first time yesterday I immediately downloaded Firefox and set the settings as I had them on the previous machine. As I began getting things in order and all favorites back in place, Firefox did prompt me to save about 4 passwords and abruptly stopped. I have checked all the settings and nothing has changed. No addresses have been blocked, no exceptions. Even addresses and on sites I know for certain will let Firefox save the passwords I am not being prompted. I am at a loss as to what to do.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you for your time.

  • I want to use my Mac desktop as a portal for viewing my cable television via some kind of cord. Is this possible and what do I need to set this up?

    I want to use my Mac desktop as a portal for viewing my cable television via some kind of cord. Is this possible and what do I need to set this up?

    It can be done with analog but not digital thanks to "good 'ol" HDCP copy protection which apple (and most other manufacturers) unfortunately respect.
    So you can take the analog output from your cable box (component -- 5 cables -- if it has it but generally they all have composite -- 3 cables) and feed it into some kind of converter or into some appropriate pci card for your mac pro.  But none of them are going to let you directly use the HDMI output from the box to your computer.
    Bottom line, no single cord is going to work and it will never be the higher quality digital picture you get on your tv.
    Some qualification:  There are boxes that I think support hdmi input.  Look at Blackmagic.  But I still don't think you can get around the HDCP from the cable box (might depend on the kind of cable box).
