Location for save as desktop

My Wife saved an emailed picture as her desktop. She deleted the original. She now wants the pic in iPhoto. Where is the desktop image saved?
It is NOT in > Library > Desktop Pictures.
Thanks, Dave

Thanks BDAqua - just tried it with the nearest image I could find and now have a Desktop like this:
I checked further and discovered that it updated:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
but did not update:
~/Library/Caches/Desktop
Perhaps fortunate that Safari does not use a database for these images.
I must remember to ask if email was accessed via a browser.
I still suspect the original is stored in email somewhere.
Good work the pair of you - well done.

Default location for save as: set to my documents

When I open a pdf document from the internet without saving it on my computer and click on save after I modified it, the save as dialogue propose my "temporary internet files" folder instead of the "my documents" folder. When I check on my colleague's pc (same configuration) it goes by default to my document. How can I change my default saving location to my documents?
Configuration: vista, reader 9.0 and IE7.
Thanks for you help.

It seems that adobe reader saves to the location from where it was installed originally.
I saved the installer to my desktop and now when i open pdf files in ie and save them, they are saved to desktop

Mavericks default location for "save as" on word and excel

Having just installed Mavericks, it appears that if I open a Word or Excel file, and then go to "save as", rather than defaulting the save as location to the location the original file came from, it is now defaulting to my top level Documents folder. Is there any way of changing this back to how it used to be?

Using OneDrive as default save location for project

I installed VS on 2 different computers and want to develop from both of them at times. Either my desktop of laptop. Therefore I want to store the project files on the Onedrive folders that are mapped on my local machine.
I have changed the default save location for Projects and also the other Registry Settings in HKCU... to onedrive/projects folder. But once I create the project from on PC and try to open it from another I am getting the following error.
the file xxxx.csproj : error : The project file could not be loaded. The filed cannot be accessed by the system.

Hello waddat,
I haven't test this issue about onedrive mapped folder. But may I ask this question: Does the location exist in your PC or is it just a mapped virtual drive?
In my point of view, when you tried to open a project from your folder, it is possible that the file is being used by onedrive synchronous process. Or Visual Studio cannot find the specific file because the file has not been uploaded/downloaded to the path
you want to search?
I don't recommend you set the default location to OneDrive folder, it is not reliable for you to do this because the synchronous process of OneDrive is not certain by us.
If you want to store your projects online, the recommend way is to use Visual Studio Online
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/what-is-visual-studio-online-vs.aspx
If you want to store projects using OneDrive, please try create your projects on local drive and upload your file to OneDrive and then download it from some other sides to us. I think this is the best practise for you.
Best regards,
Barry

It sounds like if you open Preferences in Word there will be a place where you can specify where to store autorecover files. Right now it sounds like it's pointing to somewhere that doesn't exist.

SBS 2011 GPO for changing the default save location for Word/Excel 2013 not working

So this is a strange one. I've got an SBS 2011 server that's the only domain controller in the org. I've created a GPO to change the default save location for Excel 2013 and Word 2013 using the Office 2013 ADMX files which were installed to the PolicyDefinitions
folder.
The GPO (U-Office2013 Default Save Location) only contains:
1. User Configuration - Microsoft Excel 2013/Excel Options/Save - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
2. User Configuration - Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Advanced/File Locations - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
The GPO is linked at the OU that contains my users for my SBS organization.
When I do a gpupdate /force on a windows 7 system with office2013 installed, and then run a gpresult/rsop, the policy appears to be applied successfully as it lists my GPO under the Applied GPOs list on the workstation:
Applied GPOs
Default Domain Policy dyndns.local AD (24), Sysvol (24)
U-Office2013 Default Save Location domain.local/SBSusers AD (6), Sysvol (6)
In the gpresult report, the applied settings appear under:
Administrative Templates
Extra Registry Settings
software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\excel\options\defaultpath Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\doc-path Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
BUT, when I go to the workstation, and check office->options-Save-default file path, the path has not been changed to what the GPO is pushing.
The strange thing is that in my test environment running 2008R2 server and Win7 with Office 2013 and identical settings the default save location is applied and works as expected.
Any ideas?
I've already tried re-installing the ADMX templates and re-created the GPO's several times.
I should also note that other GPO's on the SBS2011 server such as the folder redirection GPO work as expected on the same windows 7 system. It just appears to be an issue with the default save location in office2013 and other Office 2013 related GPOs which
utilize the recently added ADMX template that don't seem to be working for me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Justin,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried several different user accounts (all have local admin privileges to the workstation) with the same issue. The default save path does not get applied from the GPO to any of the users i've tried. Here's the steps I took
per your suggestion:
1. log on as a user who has never logged onto the workstation before.
2. run gpupdate /force (entered y for yes when prompted to log off).
3. Log back in as the user and open Office and check the default save path. It has not been changed to match the GPO setting.
4. Check rsop to see if the policy was applied. Rsop states the gpo was applied successfully.
I have attached the gpsvc.log file from a the session described above. The GPO Guid in question is: {DC3C93EC-7C28-48E9-BA38-FCA1E275A207}. Its common name is: U-Word 2013 Default Save Location. It's only setting is:
Policies\Administrative Templates\Policy definitions(admx files retrieved from central store\Microsoft Word 2013\Word Options\Advanced\File Locations\Default File Location = Enabled\Documents = F:\

Can you save system settings scratch disks locations for each project?

When you begin a new project in FCE you need to set the System Settings Scratch Disks. Typically you would set a new folder for each project to keep all of your files for each project in one location for that project.
I have a couple of FCE projects going at the same time. I've set each project with a different system setting scratch disk location. But if I open a project which should have a unique scratch disk location folder that I've already set before for that project, it ignores the setting I set for that project and just shows the scratch disk setting for the last project opened instead. It does not appear to save or remember the unique setting for that project.
If you have multiple projects going at the same time, is there a way to save the systems settings scratch disk location for each project and have FCE remember that location for each project?

I turned off the Open Last Project on Application Launch in the User Preferences and it still does not remember the unique scratch disk settings for each project.
Since it is quite common to be working on multiple projects simultaneously, you would think that there would be a way in which to save the settings for each project to help keep all related files better organized.
Any other suggestions?

2012R2 VDI how to change "local virtual desktop creation location" for collection

Hi,
I want to change "local virtual desktop creation location" for existing collection but this setting is grayed. This location is not exists anymore and I cannot add new VM's to collection.
If there is no way to do this if it possible to create new collection and move old VM's there?
Thanks!

Hi Sergey,
I assume that you mean virtual desktop storage location, which I don’t think that we can change this setting for an existing collection.
You can create a new collection, during the creation process, you will be able to select a different storage location for new VMs.

Correct permanent location for java library folders currently on desktop?

I've got two "Library" folders which contain Java Apps which include: wotaskd.woa and JavaMonitor.woa. When I attempt to launch either, the "A" icon flashes briefly in the dock, then dissapears.
I don't know if the current desktop location of these folders has anything to do with the problem or not. I know that there is a more proper permanent location for these library folders but I don't know where to put them.
Advice?

Place those items in the folder /System/Library/WebObjects/JavaApplications/ if it exists on your hard disk.

Save as/Save does not point to file open location for the file

Hi,
Working with large number of files it's imperative that I can rely on the software's ability to know where open files are located on disk, so that when needed I can save all open files to their original locations. Unfortunately CS6 wil save all open files to the location of the last saved file!
Even after a power out, or CS6 crash, all the recovered files will point to the directory last document was saved to!!
This means that if I have 10 open files from 10 different folders, they will all be saved to one folder, in which maximum one of the 10 files have been opened from and I will not know where they are if I follow their original file location (e.g from Lightroom import from camera).
This generates a very time consuming manual workaround, in which I must file-by-file open the correct folder in Save as dialogue.
Using "Save As to Original Foder" has no meaning selected or de-selected.
I don't know of any other software that suppresses original file location in save/save as...
How do I disable this unproductive and illogical malfunction?
Morten

Okay, doing what you outlined, I'm getting the same result. It's acting like the file you open is a new file that hasn't been saved, and that always defaults to the last saved location. I'm not saying it should be like this, but I think it is default behavior. Only advice I can offer is to put in a feature request:

System prerences won't save keyboard commands for dashboard or desktop

I clicked the checkboxes to turn on the keyboard commands for Dashboard and Desktop. I used control-up arrow for Dashboard, and control-down arrow for Desktop. When I restart, the commands don't work. I thought maybe I had made System Preferences crash, so I made a point of quitting right after making the change. When I restarted, the commands were disabled again. This has happened several times.
What gives?

At a guess, I would think this error code has to do with the video artifacts you are experiencing. You might try reseating all the cables to the display. If the position of the screen makes a difference, there may be damage to a cable, particularly where it goes through the hinge.
Apple is the keeper of the error codes. If you have access to an Apple Store, you could probably ask about this.
Don't know about the other intermittent problems. Does an external keyboard work? If so, there's likely a problem with the internal, maybe even again, a cable or connection.
You could also try creating a new use account and see if the keyboard and mouse problems persist. If not, there could be some sort of software corruption in your usual account. Ditto with the freezing.
Good luck!

Disable Save to Desktop / Documents Folder

Hello,
we are building some restricted Clients for a special room and we need to disable the save as dialoge
When open a PDF-Document in InternetExplorer and then want to save it, the default path is set to My Documents (Instead of the default "Downloads" save location from IE) . We have already disabled the Libarys via Registry but in the "save
as" dialoge they are still there.
We want to achive that a User can only save files to a fileserver and nowhere else. Additionally we have seen this in the open dialog with the desktop as default path, which we want to disable also. Normally the User see anything in the Desktop (restricted
via GPO), but unfortunately its possiable to save and open files there.
I have looked at User- and ShellFolder Registry Keys to custimize the dialoges but it works, but possibly not the best solution. Also I know thats possiable to work with folder redirection, but then the libaries are still there.
Is there a way to disable the "documents" and "desktop" save-as dialogs, so that its noted by the application and only show the share path?
I hope its possiable to understand what I mean :-)
