Is it possible to change the install location during pkgadd

Hi Forum,
I've downloaded several updated applications from sunfreeware.com and would like to install them to /usr/sfw. The package was built to install them to /usr/local. Is there a flag I can use during pkgadd to modify the default install location?
I tried -R /usr/sfw but that sets the "root" location so my install path would end up looking like /usr/sfw/usr/local.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Tim

For instance a binary might be looking for configuration information in a particular path. It could be trying to open /usr/local/var for logging and /usr/local/etc/ for configuration information.
If the package is very flexible, they can prompt for an install location and do the right thing. But that's not something that is easily forced on packages otherwise.

How can I change the install location when installing an App (i.e. Lightroom) from Creative Cloud?

How can I change the install location when installing an App (i.e. Lightroom) from Creative Cloud?

Rolfjuelg I am sorry but Lightroom does not support custom installation locations through the Creative Cloud. You can find more details at Lightroom and Creative Cloud FAQ.

How do I change the install location of Photoshop Elements 12

I downloaded elements through Adobe Download Assistant to my D:/ drive on my Win 8.1.
When I continue to install it, it only gives me the option to install it to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\PSE12STIInstaller".
I tried to open it as an Administrator but I'm still unable to change it, it doesn't even give me the option.
Am I not supposed to be able to change it?
Thanks, Isak.

OaknestHill you can choose the install location during the installation process. Please see the screen shot I took below of the appropriate screen.
You will want to click on the Change button to select your installation location. Please be aware there are shared files/resources which will still reside on the hard drive which contains your operating system.
If you are unable to click on the Change button then I would recommend you begin with trying the installation under a newly created local administrator account.

HT4236 Is it possible to change the location of the ipod Photo Cache?

Is it possible to change the location of the ipod Photo Cache? At the moment it is created in my photos folder in win 8 which saves to my SkyDrive so I have duplicates and wasted space on the drive.
I would like to change the location to a location which is not saveed in the cloud.
thanks

The logo is in it's own table cell - so css will not work (can't change the order of table columns using css). You could possibly replace the logo image on the server with a single white pixel (create a custom skin if you want), then add a new background image to the table (class is HeaderTopBar) aligned right and no repeat using CSS. You would need to pad out that right side somehow to make it align (the last cell has class HeaderPageStatus and contains the status image).

How to change the storage location in Lightroom 3.6.?

How to change the storage location in Lightroom 3.6.?
I use my internal hard drive NTFS of my MacBook Pro as my storage location of Lightroom 3.6. being installed in Snow Leopard now but the data of my photos get too big now. I have two fast and big external hard drives eSATA now which I want to use for my data/photos. I know how to copy the data from one hard drive to another but I don't know how to change the settings in connection with Lightroom easily. I still want to watch all fotos on my MacBook Pro but don't want to save any fotos on my internal harddrive any more. Isn't it possible to have the programm Lightroom on my internal harddrive but the data on two times on two different extermal hard drives? If I look at Lightroom - settings of catalogue - I see that the internal harddrive location is my storage location now but I my two external harddrives don't appear as folders. Why? How to change that so that the external hard drives appear in Lightroom and I can watch all my fotos immediately (sometimes using external hard drive 1 and sometimes using external hard drive 2)?
My external hard drives are in HFS+ but I use the software of Paragon so that there shouldn't be any problem to read and write the data (I use also Final Cut Express so my external hard drives are HFS+ and not NTFS).
I want to impert many data from CDs - should I copy the fotos first to my external hard drive and then import it into Lightroom or is it easier to import the data directly from the CD in Lightroom so that I don't have to name the folders two times?
I see that I have to sort the fotos from the CDs in new different folders and an used to do that in Finder of my MacBookPro. In Lightroom I don't want have to click each of hundreds of fotos to be able to put it into the right folders ... But how to import only a part of a CDs quickly into the right (newly created) folders?
Kind regards, Karin

Would you really leave the names of photos like DSC05271.ARW and DSC05271.jpeg etc.?
What if I name them f.i. like ...
2013-09-11_Austria_1_mountain.jpeg
2013-09-11_Austria_2_mountain.jpeg
2013-09-11_Austria_3_valley.jpeg
I would NOT do this. I would not change the file name.
I would add keywords and other metadata to the photos to identify the content of the photos, and from that point on, I would use keywords and other metdata to search for these photos.
However, let's look at the big picture. I think there are three different methods of organizing
Organize via keywords and other metadata, and not via operating system constructs such as file name and folder name
Organize via operating system constructs such as file name and folder name, and not via keywords and other metadata
Some combination of 1 and 2
You can choose any one of the three methods above, the choice is yours. I am a very strong believer that for most people (and it sounds like you are one of those people), method 1 is the best method. However, not everyone agrees.
There are drawbacks to using file names to identify your photos. One big drawback is that you must type the information into each photo's name, and this is more tedious than if you wanted to assign the keyword "mountain" to the photos, you can assign the keyword to multiple photos at once. Also, if you mis-spell the information in the file name on any photo, you have just made the photo much harder to find; whereas in Lightroom, the keyword can be assigned via a mouse click (so you can't mis-spell it), or by typing the first few letters and Lightroom (auto-fill) will find the correct keyword name. So using keywords is a much simpler way to go.
.. is this much too complicated to do that in Lightroom or even dangerous to got lost of photos?
It is very simple to add keywords, as I explained for this case. Create keywords "Austria", "Mountain", "Valley"; then select the desired photos, and then click on the check box next to the keyword name. It is much more complicated in my opinion to rename the photos in this manner.
There is less danger in doing this via keywords than the danger doing this via file names, because of potential mis-spellings.
If I spend a lot of time in editing photos (in Lightroom or Photoshop) I don't want that I loose those photos f.i. later if Lightroom won't be the software I use regarding the photos (in 10, 20 years?!)
Lightroom will OPTIONALLY write your keywords and other metadata to the files (or sidecar files in the case of RAW). Every photographic application I know of (and I'm sure those in the future) can read the keywords and other metadata. So if you ever want to switch to some other software, your keywords and other metadata are available. you can turn this option on via Edit->Catalog Settings->Metadata, check Automatically Write Changes to XMP.
So I have to create two folders - one with the originals and one with the edited exported photos?
No, you do not have to create two folders. You don't have to export everything, but if you do, you can put the exports wherever you want, including putting them in the same folder as the originals, with different name.
Why not edit them in Photoshop and save them in the second folder which I import later in Lightroom? Because it takes longer?
Wow, you really need to think about: Why are you using Lightroom?
Could you explain this to me? Why are you using Lightroom?
If your goal is to edit the photos in Photoshop, and then put them in folders with whatever custom name you want to give them, then what is the benefit of using Lightroom? You can do all of this WITHOUT Lightroom. You keep explaining that your intended goal is to use Photoshop and folders/file names, and this is a goal which AVOIDs all benefits of Lightroom. I can't understand what you think the benefits of using Lightroom are for you.
It is starting to sound to me like Lightroom is not the right software for you.

Since the late 2009 iMacs came out, replacing the hard drive has caused the internal Hard Drive Fan to start running at around 6000RPM.
This is due to Apple replacing the external Hard Drive temperature sensor with a proprietary firmware and using the drives internal sensor.
Replacement drives do not contain the firmware to deliver temperature data on the temperature sensor cable.
When the iMac does not receive a good signal from the hard drive it puts the fan at full speed to protect the drive.
If you replace your drive, your iMac will initially seem fine, but soon the fan will begin to speed up to full speed. Resetting the SMC (System Management Controller) will have a temporary effect, but again the fan will speed up.
Fixes people have used in the past included:
Using smcFanControl and the terminal to set a MAX speed for the fan and writing scripts to start this after every sleep/restart.
Shorting the temperature sensor cable (Not a possibility on 2011 iMacs) this tricks the iMac into thinking the drives temperature is very low, hence slow fan speed.
Both these fixes are less then perfect and leave the drive in a dangerous situation with no protection from overheating.
Another option people try is other Fan Control software. These programs will not work for this particular issue as they often only control the base speed, and if they do control the fans actual speed they rely on the temperature reported by the sensor which is now incorrect.
HDD Fan Control
HDD Fan Control works to fix this issue by reading the drives internal temperature using the S.M.A.R.T protocol and set the fans actual speed to a value good to protect the drive.
It runs at startup and continually to always control the fan correctly, prevent the loud fan noise and protect the drive from overheating
Instead of HDDFan Control, get the free SSDFan Control

Is it possible to change the URL of the browser corresponding to changes in the timeline?

Hello,
I'm trying to create a whole website in Edge. Is it possible to change the browser URL for different sections of the animation. For example me.com/part1 leads to 2.0 seconds in the animation. And for example when you type me.com/part2 the browser would go to 4th second of the animation. And vice versa, when the animation reaches the 4th second the browser URL would change to me.com/part2. It would be really great if that were possible. Any ideas on how to accomplish it?
Thanks!

Hi there, Joel's example seems to be exactly what you're trying to do. All you need to do is replace his functions with your functions.
There are two main parts to his example: 1) reacting to a URL change directly in the URL bar, 2) reacting to a button click, and setting the URL
Regarding Item 1: this line (this adds a listener for when the URL hash is changed, and calls the 'sym.animate' function in his example). Note that he is linking the value after the # with the symbol names 'panel1', etc. This line enables the functionality for you to be able to directly change the URL to: testStep95.html#panel2, and the site will change pages.
$(window).on("hashchange", function(){sym.animate(location.hash.replace("#",""), sym.onStage)});
Regarding Item 2: he's setting the page title (based on the active panel symbol) and URL hash, in the 'sym.animate' function. He calls the 'sym.animate' function on click of btn1, btn2, btn3:
document.title = panelIn;
window.location.hash = panelIn;
Props to Joel for his slick example!

Is it possible to change the compiler that is built into Sun Creator?

Is it possible to change the compiler that is built into Sun Creator?
I would like to compile my project to run under the JNI. I have tried to use the command line to run the javah -jni filenames but I always get errors and my assumption is that I need to change or adapt the IDE WITHOUT violating any licensing agreements to get the JNI working in this IDE.
I would appreciate any help that I could get in regards to this issue whther someone from SUN wants to comment or if any developer's have had this issue and have solved it...

Okay, I just tried this. I changed the default location of J2SE JDK in the creator conf file. Saved the file.
For example:
#netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Sun\Creator2_1\java"
netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\JDK1.5.0_04"
On restarting the IDE the new path is taken. To see the change: go to main menu -> Help -> About Java Studio Creator . Go to Detail tab. You will see the values for Java and Java Home changed as per your change in the creator.conf file.
Hope this helps.

WCF static send port, use of custom behavior to change the endpoint location?

The send port is outbound to various web service endpoints, all of which is the same WSDL just different location. Prefer to use the static port for features like ordered delivery. Is it possible to change the Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.Address dynamically
by a custom behavior?
https://ninithepug.wordpress.com/

Hi,
You can make static send ports partially dynamic, this can be achieved in a custom pipeline component in the send pipeline.
You should refer to the below mentioned articles:

Is it possible to change the Apple ID for my macbook pro?

Is it possible to change the Apple ID for my macbook pro? My laptop is currently registered under my husband`s ID, and I would like to change it to my apple ID so I can install changes / updates (as we are now separated). Would appreciate any help.

In your post you have indicated that the MBP has Snow Leopard (10.6.8) installed. You will have to use the original OSX disk and slide it into the DVD drive on startup holding the C key. Then you follow the instructions on the display.
Worst case is to take it to an Apple store and have them assist you in the installation process.
Ciao.
