Making CS2 recognize a changed startup images folder

Hi there,
I'm trying to make Photoshop CS2 recognize externally from VB/VBA a change the folder that a user saves a newly created (in this case, scanned) document to.
(e.g., this is the folder that appears when you click File -> Open or File -> Save As, I want to programatically change that while the user is in my application so they can switch to Adobe, scan in a new document, click File -> Save As and be presented with the correct directory to put this image in)
I added Adobe Photoshop 9.0 Object Library to my project and I tried finding this as a property in the Adobe Application, but it doesn't appear there. It turns out that it's kept in the registry (see code snippet below). I try changing this in the registry, but I can't seem to find a way to "ping" Adobe to pick up the registry change. I tried the code snippet below to open a "dummy" file in an attempt to force the directory change that way, as though the user were opening a new file in the directory I want them to be in, but still no go, it doesn't change the registry. It looks like the only two ways I can force this is to manually do it from the UI, or to change the registry entry and restart Adobe. Neither of those are viable options.
Any thoughts please? My client is still stuck on Adobe Photoshop 5.5 (yes 5.5) becuase that still used INI files and that version picked up the currently active directory changes to the INI files.
thanks!

So, I took a look and it doesn't look so good. The PSP files in that folder have
different file formats. Some are basically a set of serialized ActionDescriptor
objects, others are something different.
This file is one of the different ones. To make matters worse, the information
appears to be laid out in native Windows (little-endian) instead of PS-standard
(big-endian) mode.
Reading and/or writing Prefs.psp would take some customized code for its file
format and a lot of byte-level analysis to determine what the overall format
actually is.
So, it's possible, just not easy.
BTW, if you edited the file from a PS script, it would (normally) just get
overwritten when you close PS. Yet more complexity.

How to change Attachments / Image Folder file path to IP Address

Hello Experts
We will be defining Attachments/Image Folder in >Administration->System Initiation>General settings>Paths.
Then the path will be something like this ."
server\attachments\
Here instead of Having server name, i want to have IP Address of Server machine. It may look like this ""
192.168.1.xx\attachments\.
can this be possible?
Thanks

HI,
By the way the official way is browse, ... for example excel path. I have tried with my computers c$ share.(
127.0.0.1\c$)
1. Open file browser of your machine
2. go to network places, and turn of left panel
3. Add a new network place and enter the ip address based share
127.0.0.1\c$
4. Save this new network place
5. open >Administration->System Initiation>General settings>Paths in B1 and select the address from network places you have saved.
My XP has been automatically converted the shortcut of the network place into ip address based share.
but fast solution only for test....
select excelpath from oadm
--update oadm set excelpath = '\\192.168.1.1\c$'
Use the system information to detect the field names in OADM and OADP table.
Regards,
J.
Ps: do not forget points for the solution

Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the ST card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the SD card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

Check your Import settings in the Import Panel, i.e. all that might exclude the image type you want to import:
If you did not exclude any file types, and still Aperture will not import, remove your ImageCapture preferences fro your user library:
To remove the image capture preferences:
If Aperture is running, quit Aperture, and log off and on again.
Open your user library from the Finder's Go menu: Hit Command Shift G (⌘⇧G) and then type in: ~/Library/Preferences/ then hit return.
In the window that opens remove "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist"
and look into the subfolder "ByHost": if there are files named com.apple.ImageCapture something .plist remove them too.
then try again.
And if that still does not help, remove the Aperture preferences as well:
~/Library/Preferences/aperture.plist
Regards
Léonie
P.S. in MacOS Lion and later the user library ~/Library is hidden by default.
You can reveal it also from the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > Go, then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences".

No.
If KPT was not written for OS X, then you cannot convert it.

I just purchased the SX60 and have been trying to find the way to change the "startup image".

I just purchased the SX60 and have been trying to find the way to change the "startup image". I have the SX40, Sx30 SX1 and all allow me to change the startup image and the sounds through MyCamera. When I opened MyCamera, it tells me that it won't work on my model. Does anyone know how to change the startup image? In the menu it gives me the choice to either have it on or off. Thanks so much!

Looks like Canon has changed what they ship with the newer cameras. My SX50 came with a disc & no paper manual. Because of that I searched the Canon site (USA site) & found the program set you need to download (according to what it says). Now there are different versions based on your operating system so for my search I've chosen Win 8.0 & the program file recommended is

Change image folder for image resources

Hello all,
it’s been a while since I was last here.
Still working with wonderful Adobe Edge, yet trying to change some things here and there ;-)
I wonder if anyone tried to change the way Edge writes out the „var im='images/';“ (in the .js file) variable.
Since I’d like to do something like this:
* Adobe Edge: symbol definitions
(function($, Edge, compId){
//images folder
var im='images/';
var im_work='templates/Chart_'+ workChart +'/images/';
var im_next_work='templates/Chart_'+ nextWorkChart +'/images/';
to keep the source of the images (used from multiple compositions) flexible.
So that all compositions may use common images looking for them in the „image“ folder
but also specific images that depend on which composition is actually working (I achieve it by the way by using templates mustache.js).
I can do this comfortely after Edge wrote out the .js file but everytime I opened the animation again and save Edge overwrites it again
cancelling everything except „var im='images/';“ so that the variables disappear.
Is there a way to change this feature, so that different image folders could be used?
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot

How do I change security settings on items in Startup items folder in Library

I just installed pro tools TEN on my Mac OS X 10.6.8 -When I log in I get a pop up message that says items in the startup items folder in library won't open because of incorrect security settings. Now it has given me separate pop up windows saying that those items have been disabled.
So my question is: How do I "Fix" the security settings on the startup items folder so that these items are not disabled. I don't need them to automatically open every time I log in, but they are obviously part of Pro Tools, and I need them so that Pro Tools performance is not affected. The items are:
DigiDesign Loader
Pace Support
How do I Fix it so that they are not disabled, but that they only open when they need to open, and don't affect pro tools performance?
Thanks for the help,
Tristan

It could be that it Reader-enabled. Try: File > Save a Copy
If that's not it, post exactly what it shows for: File > Properties > Security > File Restrictions Summary

My program always displays the same image, even when I change th image file

I'm making a program that chooses an image file from a dialog, resize it and copy it into a folder. When the image is needed to be displayed, the image file is read and a JLabel displays it on screen.
When I upload the first image, everything works fine. The problem appears when I upload another picture: the displayed image is still the first image, even when the old file doesn't exist anymore (because it has been overwritten). It looks like the image has been "cached", and no more image are loaded after the first one.
This function takes the image picture chosen by the user, resizes it, and copy it into the pictures folder:
    private void changeProfilePicture() {
        JFileChooser jFileChooser = new JFileChooser();
        jFileChooser.setMultiSelectionEnabled(false);
        jFileChooser.setFileFilter(new ImageFileFilter());
        int result = jFileChooser.showOpenDialog(sdbFrame);
        if (JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION == result) {
            try {
                //upload picture
                File file = jFileChooser.getSelectedFile();
                InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
                //resize image and save
                BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(is);
                BufferedImage resizedImage = resizeImage(image, 96, 96);
                String newFileName = sdbDisplayPanel.getId() + ".png";
                String picFolderLocation = db.getDatabaseLocation() + "/" +
                        PROFILE_PICTURE_FOLDER;
                java.io.File dbPicFolder = new File(picFolderLocation);
                if(!dbPicFolder.exists()) {
                    dbPicFolder.mkdir();
                String newFilePath = picFolderLocation + "/" + newFileName;
                File newFile = new File(newFilePath);
                FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream (newFilePath);
                DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream (fos);
                ImageIO.write(resizedImage, "png", dos);
                dos.close();
                fos.close();
                //set picture
                sdbDisplayPanel.setImagePath(newFilePath);
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                System.err.println("Could'nt print picture");
            }This other class actually displays the image file in a JLabel:
    public void setImagePath(String imagePath) {
        count++;
        speaker.setImagePath(imagePath);
        this.imagePath = imagePath;
        if(imagePath != null)   {
            //use uploaded picture
            try {
                File tempFile = new File(imagePath);
                System.out.println(tempFile.length());
                java.net.URL imgURL = tempFile.toURI().toURL();
                ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(imgURL);
                pictureLbl.setIcon(icon);
                // Read from a file
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(SDBEventClass.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        else    {
            //use default picture
            URL imgURL = this.getClass().getResource("/edu/usal/dia/adilo/images/noProfile.jpg");
            ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(imgURL, "Profile picture");
            pictureLbl.setIcon(icon);
    }

When you flush() the image, you don't need to construct a new ImageIcon each time, a simple repaint() will suffice.
Run this example after changing the URL to an image you can edit and update while the program is running.import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;

public class FlushImage {
   Image image;
   JLabel label;
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         @Override
         public void run() {
            new FlushImage().makeUI();
   public void makeUI() {
      try {
         ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(new URL("file:///e:/java/dot.png"));
         image = icon.getImage();
         label = new JLabel(icon);
         JButton button = new JButton("Click");
         button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
               image.flush();
               label.repaint();
         JFrame frame = new JFrame("");
         frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
         frame.add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH);
         frame.add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
         frame.pack();
         frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);

Windows 7,new installation, images folder path configuration problem

Hello all,
I am having a difficult time getting images folder (or possibly loaded images) to perform correctly on a new installation.
When apex starts up, the page has no visual objects rendered. Here's a portion of the page's source:
h1. Sample rendered page segment
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:htmldb="http://htmldb.oracle.com" xmlns:apex="http://apex.oracle.com">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

<link rel="stylesheet" href="C:\Users\violin\Documents\OracleDownloads\apex_4.1_en\apex\imagescss/apex_4_1.min.css" type="text/css" />
You can see the html is being rendered, but incorrectly. In the excerpt, the images path is incorrect.
h3. As it appears in the rendered page
<link rel="icon" href="C:\Users\violin\Documents\OracleDownloads\apex_4.1_en\apex\imagesfavicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
h3. As it should appear (manually corrected image path)
<link rel="icon" href="C:\Users\violin\Documents\OracleDownloads\apex_4.1_en\apex\images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
I'm not sure whether the folder path is (forward|backward)(single|double) slash delimited.
h1. Listener script
I've started the listener with and without the apex.images parameter. I commented out the "plain version." Here's my listener startup script:
@echo on
cls
set oracle_sid=xe
set localcd=%cd%
cd C:\Users\violin\Oracle\apex_listener.1.1.3.243.11.40
rem java -jar apex.war
java -Dapex.images=C:\Users\violin\Oracle\apex_4.1_en\apex\apex\images\ -jar apex.war
h1. Troubleshooting
I've tried a number of corrections including rerunning apex_epg_config.sql, apexldimg.sql, adding an apex.images parameter to listener startup (just a shot in the dark), deleting and recreating apex.properties, adding and removing trailing /'s, \'s, //'s, \\'s, etc. I didn't have success with any of these approaches, so it may have been cumulative changes that resulted in the problem. I just list them as having tried (at least once).
h1. Environment

apex 4.1 English
Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Hello Jeff E,
Thank you for quick reply.
Yes, I did specify a full path rather than /i/. I think I had originally started with /i/ but didn't understand where /i/ maps to a folder path, so I reinstalled and specified the path with similar results.
I'll test reset_image_prefix.sql and post results.
I'm confused about the EPSQL gateway v. APEX listener. I just tried to follow the documentation which offered multiple options. I am not familiar with either of them, so I can't defend a choice.
Thank you.

Thumbnails disappear when change to any folder

In Photoshop CS2 when I first start Bridge (CS2 1.0.4.6) my thumbnails show up fine for the Desktop. As soon as I change to any folder the thumbnails turn all white. No matter what folder I change to they are all white, and the number of thumbnails stays the same regardless of how many images are in the folder.
When I return to the Desktop folder, all the thumbnails are white. If I close Bridge and reopen, the Desktop thumbnails reappear until I change folders again.
Can anyone help - my Bridge is definitely broken.

1. Do you have adequate cache space? Is it on C drive, or a dedicated drive or partition? If it is nearly full that could cause problems.
        - 35 GB available on C: using a centralized cache in default location
2. Compact the cache. That will get rid of all unmached files and thumbnails, and reduce its size.
        - I have no option in Bridge to compact the cache that I can find - either in the preferences or from the cache menu (I am using Bridge CS2 with Photoshop CS2)
3. Delete temp file with a product like cclean
        - What temp file? I have used CCleaner on numerrous occassions for cleaning up but only recall some files located in a   \CameraRaw\cache location
4. Go to a folder that has problems. Then go to Tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder
        - Did this many times - does not fix problem.
5. Close program then restart and see if problems are still there in xxx folder
         - same as #4 - opened and closed Bridge and Photoshop many times trying to purge and rebuild. still broken.
6. Open Windows Explorer and look at thumbnails. Look at contents of each folder closely and see if any do not have a thumbnail. That would indicate you have corrupted files there or bad suffix. Figure out what it is and fix or delete
     - The files are all okay - Windows Explorer displays thumbnails and I have no problem using Adobe Lightroom and working on any of the files.

How to Change Outlook Default Folder for Insert-Attachment and Save Email/Attachemnt while Outlook is open (VBA)

Hello,
Office 2010 32bit, VBA
Is it possible to programmatically do the above while Outlook is running? If so, I'm hoping to make that change from a Word macro.
I tried tinkering with the reg key and that doesn't work because it appears Outlook only respects it at startup time. Similary changing Word File-options-location of documents is respected only when Outlook starts.
I'm looking to seamlessly keep Outlook's default folder in sync with Word's default folder as the users change working folders in Word, which they do many times per day (and they chose the folder among a couple of thousand possibilities).
I'm hoping there is a difficult-to-find Outlook object I can manipuate to get to the end result. IF there is such an Object I have been unable to find it.
Many thanks!
Julie

Hi Julie,
Based on my research, I think outlook object model doesn’t provide the way to change the default folder for insert attachment and save email/attachment.
The way to change it is that we need to modify the registry setting and the outlook app should be restart.

\usr\sap\EPD\JC0\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\portalapps\com.sap.portal.runtime.logon\layout
But to my surprise I am not able to see gthe com.sap.portal.runtime.logon folder in the server.
Can somebody suugest me what might be the reason.Is it any problem with the versions or something?
Thank You,

It is:
\usr\sap\EPD\JC0\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.security.core.admin\servlet_jsp\logon\root\layout\
You can do a simple search for branding-image.jpg from \usr\sap\EPD\JC0\j2ee\cluster\server0 to find the location. You can change the location or name in the config tool.

My MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion) seems to be making copies of files in my download folder. Why is this happening and how do I stop it?

My MacBookPro with Mountain Lion seems to be making copies of files in my download folder. Why is this happening and how do I stop it?

This issue has nothing to do with Time Machine or local snaphsots. No built-in feature of OS X does what you describe.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Copy (command-C) the selected text to the Clipboard. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered. You can do that by copy-and-paste as well. Omit the final line ending in “$”. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. It won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Is it possible to change an image while a Build or Action is happening?

Here's what i'm trying to accomplish:
I am panning across a large photo, when most of the way across the photo (as the pan still continues) i'd love the photo to fade into a MODIFIED version of the same photo (modified as in, changed in Photoshop). Can this be done? I can't figure out how "cheat" and do it going from one slide to another that the movement stays smooth.
Any help greatly appreciated. I have consumed nearly an entire pint of Ben & Jerrys in frustration.

Yes, this is possible.
First, create your panning animation with the first image you would like to use (use an Action Build to do the movement). Then, go to Format->Copy Animation. Then place the image you want to fade into on the slide, right on top of the first image, and Format->Paste Animation to paste the movement onto the second image. Now, add a second Action Build of type Opacity to the second image, from 0% to 100%, and in the Build Order drawer, select "With Previous Animation" on both of the Action Builds of the second image.
What you should end up with is both images moving together, and the second image fading from fully transparent to fully opaque during the movement, making it seem like the first image is fading into the second one.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your help.

Ahhhhhh, ok. Figured this one out after digging more.
Here's the answer from another post. Hope it helps someone!
If you need to set an absolute folder url, or you are pulling the content from a server that does not host the content, you can manually update the <projectname>_edge.js file to specify the directory:
(function($, Edge, compId){
//images folder
var im='<SERVER/FOLDER>/images/';
Just beware that if you re-publish the files, you'll need to redo any custom modifications. I do this for off-server projects and it works very well so long as you make all the changes in each JS file where you need to specify the exact path.
