Mismatch in default folder path

I cannot get Elements Organizer to work.
Here are the symptoms.
Step one: fresh installation of Photoshop Elements 10 (32 bit) on a Windows 7 (64bit) machine
Step two: Scan in one folder of pictures. Path is M:\2013\Alpine, using Organizer, Get Photos and Videos, From Files and Folders
Step three: Double click on a resulting thumbnail pulls up the high resolution original.
Step four: reboot computer
Step five: Open Organizer, double click on an existing thumbnail and the "Search for Missing File" dialog box opens. If I let it search the whole computer, it will not find the file because the drive it is actually on is not searched. It will then offer to delete the file from the catalog. If I click on "Browse for the file" and go to the folder the original picture is actually in, an error message comes up and says "File already exists in the catalog" and therefore, does not connect the files. Organizer thinks the file resides in the following path: U:\2013\Alpine for some reason.
Step six: Things I have tried are uninstall and reinstall the progam. Delete the catalog and create a new one.
I am in a loop that I cannot seem to break out of. Please help.

What do your M: or U: drive letters stand for ? External drives ?
Have a look at the help file for John R Ellis's psedbtool.
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/#WringDrive
Scroll down to :
Wrong drive letter in catalog
and the paragraph Nr 2.
That may explain why the letter changed for the same drive, and suggest a solution.
After rebooting, does the explorer show the changed drive letter ?

Upload document into a folder, default folder path.

Hi
I have 2 web parts on AllItems.aspx (default view of document library) and both are showing documents from same library.
Web part 1 shows all documents from folder 1 and web part 2 shows all documents from folder 2.
When user drag and drop any document on the respective web part I want to upload the document in associated folder.
for example if user drops document on web part 1, document should be uploaded to folder 1 and if user drops documents on web part 2, document should be uploaded to folder 2, possible?

Hi Shafaqat,
Per my knowledge, there is no OOB way to achieve your goal.
As a workaround, I recommend to use the default view web part of the library instead of using two web part, and add two links for rendering the two folders in the quick launch.
Here are the detailed steps:
In the library AllItem.aspx page, the default list view web part is displayed. (No actions here)
Click Edit Links in the Quick Launch and then add two links with your library URL as below and then save:
After that, you can click each folder link from Quick Launch to access each folder and then drag and drop files into the folder.
Thanks,
Victoria

In an Excel template file, can I set the Folder Path in the SaveAs Dialog box?

I have an Excel template file (xltm) and, with help from the forum, I now have a Workbook_BeforeSave subroutine to save the template as a macro enabled file (xlsm). I’m so thankful for that help from Edward in the forum.
I also want to set the default folder location to save the file. I really only need it when the template is saved as a new xlsm file, because if they open the xlsm file, it’s usually opened from the default folder path so any save would normally go back
to where the file was opened. However, with a template (even if the template is in the default folder) the Saved template reverts back to the user’s documents folder.
Is there a good way to do this?
I tried to modify the Workbook_BeforeSave code like this:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim FolderDir As String
Dim FileNameVal As String
FolderDir = "Z:\save\data\place\"
If SaveAsUI Then
If Dir(WorkBookFolder, vbDirectory) <> "" Then
Application.DefaultFilePath = WorkBookFolder
End If
FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(, "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")
Cancel = True
If FileNameVal = "False" Then 'User pressed cancel
Exit Sub
End If
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FileNameVal & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub
But there are a lot of checks that would need to be done.
I'm not sure how to only default the folder saved only when they open the template, but not change it when they just open an already saved Excel file created by the template (with all the active content, macros, etc.).
Alan Edwards

Hi Alan,
store the path\filename in the 1st argument:
FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("C:\*.xlsm", "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")

[Solved] Error : The file or folder path /Probl?me 1 does not exist

Hello,
I encountered this error
The file or folder <path>/Probl?me 2 does not exist
while I was trying to open a directory already extracted from a zip file containing directories with special characters. In this case, it is a "è" that was misinterpreted as a "?".
I searched the forums and on google, the solutions proposed do not work for me. Although, I have to deal with these files written in french, I would like to have my locale in english (US), with a system wide support for special characters.
Attempt 1: Adding the option : iocharset=utf8 into the fstab, like this :
fstab :

#/dev/sda12 /mnt/archive ext4 defaults 0 2
#.host:/ /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults 0 0
This solution does not work, because after adding iocharset=utf8, in front or after a "defaults", after a reboot, while mounting the filesystem, there is the following error message:
Mounting Locale Filesystem :

It is complicated to remove these directories. I had to use the inum to get precisely these directories before removing them.
$ ls -il

$ find . -inum 1577566 -exec rm -i {} \;
rm: impossible de supprimer « ./Probl\212me 1 »: est un dossier
Note that the hypothetical character 'è' is represented has a '\212', a 'È' if seen as a extended ASCII character.
These directories cannot be deleted this way :
$ rm -r Problème\ 1
rm: cannot remove `Problème 1': No such file or directory
or
$ rm -r ProblÈme\ 1
rm: cannot remove `ProblÈme 1': No such file or directory
What should I do to be make the operating system recognize those special character, and interpret them correctly ?

I found a working solution, but better solution are also welcome
I had to have fr_CA not only in utf8 but also in iso88591. I had to modify the /etc/rc.conf this way :
LOCALE="fr_CA" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
HARDWARECLOCK=""
TIMEZONE="America/Montreal"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=

To preserve the english US language system wide, I had to add the following line in the /etc/profile :
# Allow french special character while in en_US
export LANG=en_US
The character misinterpreted by a "?" is now seen :
as a "è" in dolphin
as a "?" in the console
It is now possible to access the folders.

SBS 2011 GPO for changing the default save path applying to Win7 but 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.
Thanks in advance.

When a group policy is not applying, it is often that it has been linked to the wrong OU. Please first check this.
You might also check the apply status on the client site based on the GPSVC.log.

Need help changing the default Save Path

Hello,
We are implementing SAP, and will be using Citrix as the source for the GUI. One of our requirnments are, that we need to change the default "Save Path" that users save documents too. By default, this is to the C drive, but, we need it set to a different drive (i.e. V: on the citrix server).
We found this note on SDN (see below) - however, it does not explain how to change or add this registry value? Is this done in the GUI options, or in regedit? If in reg-edit, where abouts in the tree does it go?
Thanks guys, and any help would be greatly appriciated.
Richard
(As of SAP GUI 7.20, patch level 4) the REG_EXPAND_SZ registry value InitSaveDir can be used to configure the default path and folder for users to save the reported information in case of an access denial due to security rules. If users change the default path and save the information to an individual location, this new path will be kept as long as the user does not terminate the program. When starting SAP GUI again, users will get the configured default path again to store the reported information, the individual path changes will be lost. If the registry value does not exist, the default directory is the document directory of the SAP GUI.
By default none of the above registry values exists. In order to change the behavior of the security module, the registry values need to be created and set to the desired value. A not existing registry value means use the default.
In this doc:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/002444be-7018-2d10-e18e-a8c537198ef6?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true

Hi,
"Security rules that are created for a large number of users can be centrally stored on a server by an administrator. The administrator can use the registry values below under the registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\Security]
to configure the behavior of the security module.
Note: For 64 bit operating systems please use the following registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\SAPGUI Front\SAP Frontend Server\Security]
to configure the behavior of the security module."
You can use regedit for installing this values.
Best Regards,

I have transfered my library my library to a NAS drive. How do I stop Itunes from creating the default folder on the local drive?

I've transferred my Itunes Media Library to a NAS drive, and pointed Itunes (using the advanced preferences tab) to the relevant folder on the NAS drive. I have done this to free up disk space on a computer I primarily use for work but which I use both at home and at work. The NAS drive is at home. (To clarify, I am not expecting Itunes to function at work, only at home when access to the NAS drive is available).
Under certain circumstances Itunes will start-up at work and when it does it will create the folder structure for the Itunes Media Library in the default location (on the local drive) instead of looking for the location I have specified (the NAS drive) which it should not be able to find when I am at work and telling me that it can't find it (which would be fine).
How do I stop Itunes from recreating the default folder structure and defaulting the file path to the standard media library location on my local drive? Every time this happens I have to re-point Itunes to the NAS drive location, which often requires me to reconsolicate libraries which is tedious and time consuming. It seems that in the process of one of these consolidations I have lost some of the media files. They are still in the library (ie. visible in the Itunes window) but Itunes can't find the media associated with that file - identifying them with an excamation mark "!".
Any help with this would be appreciated, as I have read several forums and threads, and despite trying several different approaches I have been unable to address the problem, which appears to be exacerbated by the laptop being remote from the NAS drive.

Can I put the ".itl" and other database files on the NAS, and if so where would I put them? I'm thinking that if the library file is only available at home then the ITunes library won't get corrupted at work when it can't find the media, in the event that I accidentally start up itunes eg. while opening an attachment or disc that can be read by Itunes.
iTunes will start up and you will have an empty library.
Can I put the ".itl" and other database files on the NAS, and if so where would I put them?
Yes.
Quit iTunes.
Copy the /Music/iTunes/ folder on the NAS.
Move the /iTunes media/ folder currently on the NAS into the /iTunes/ folder you just copied to the NAS.
Hold Option, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the NAS.
You can delete /Music/iTunes/ folder on the internal drive.
If you launch iTunes while NOT comnnected to the NAS, iTunes will recreate the /Music/iTunes/ folder and you will have an empty library.
WHen you are again connected to the NAS, just do step 4 above.
Do you know what the advantages and disadvantages are of having the database files like the ".itl" files stored locally versus on the NAS?
Keeping everyhing together inside the iTunes folder makes it "cleaner" and simpler to manage everything.

Folder path "My Tunes" contains an invalid character.

When trying to install the latest version of ITunes I get the message "the folder path My Tunes contains an invalid character. I click ok and then it says try again later, but later is always the same. I've tried to delete the whole thing to start from scratch but it won't let me. Something got messed up when I put the program into an external hard drive. What should I do next?

"The folder itunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside "My Music" folder.
okay ... the best place to start with that one is with the following document:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate technique from the following Nigel Carpenter post:
Nigel Carpenter: re: Itunes problem

The folder path 'C:' contains an invalid character.

"The folder path 'C:' contains an invalid character."
I get this error message whenever I try to install iTunes 7.0.2.16 (the most recent version). I tell it to install with all the default paths, options, everything. I have tried changing the path to see if that fixes it but it unfortunately seems to have no effect on it.

i'm about two months out of date with the state of the art on treatments for this particular one. but there's a few possibilities we can follow up on until someone more up to date on this comes to rescue us.
let's first check on the InstallShield advice for the 1324 error. (you're not getting that number, but the error message is often a 1324 in disguise.)
see:
Error -1324: The Folder Path Contains an Invalid Character
if no joy there, we'll try the advice from the following MS kbase article. (although it's about a different application, it has been of some help in the past with this sort of error.)
You may receive one of three error messages when you try to install Streets and Trips or MapPoint
(typically i turn to that latter on when the invalid character message cites the My Pictures folder ... but it's probably worth a crack nonetheless.)

How do I set the default file path for the Place command?

I keep my graphics files for each document in a particular folder. Every time I open an existing InDesign document and place a new image I have to browse back to that location - even though all of the previous images in that document came from the same folder. InDesign does not remember the file path that was used previously in the document. This is very annoying.
IS THERE A WAY TO SET THE DEFAULT FILE PATH, OR LOCATION, FOR IMAGE FILES?
I have looked through the preferences, searched the forums and internet, but I have not found any reference to setting default paths. Is there a setting like the one in MS Word called "File Locations" on the Options toolbox?
Thank you.

Since you're working in ID on Windows, you can take advantage of a neat trick in Windows. Copy the file path out of the File Explorer address bar and paste it directly into the Place filename field. That will jump you directly to the desired volume. For example, let's say I want to place a graphic located at X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working Source Files\Links. I copy that entire path from the File Explorer address bar, go to InDesign, select File|Place, and press Control + V to paste that path into the filename field. I press the Open button and Shazam! I'm there instantly, without a bunch of navigation.
You can do the same thing in the File|Save As and File|Export fields. Let's say you want export a PDF file from InDesign to the volume X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working PDF Files. First copy the desired file path from the File Explorer window. In InDesign, select File|Export, click anywhere in the filename field, and press the Home key to move the insertion point to the front of the filename. Press Control + V to paste that path in front of the filename, then add the backslash character (\). The filename will now look like this: X:\PS Jobs\May PS\709672bp\Working PDF Files\Filename.pdf. Press the Save button to bring up the Export Adobe PDF window. Select your desired PDF preset, press the Export button, and the PDF file will magically appear in the desired volume.
This sounds really complicated, but it's not. In practice, it only takes a few seconds. I probably save an hour's worth of needless navigation every day with this technique.

Itunes will not install due to Invalid folder path

I have downloaded Itunes and every time I attempt to install it I get the message "The folder path "My Pictures" contains an invalid character". What can I do?

This should help,
This happens due to incorrect shell folder value type, or due to incorrect data in the registry. To resolve the problem, fix the My Pictures Shell folder paths in the registry accordingly. The default values are given in a tabular column in the following article. There is also a .REG fix available in the following page:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/usershellfolders.htm
Don't forget to inspect the value type. If you're using an expandable string data such as %userprofile%, then the registry value type should be of REGEXPANDSZ, not REG_SZ.

Files Tab Default Folder View

I mange close to 200 website, all of which reside on a network drive a few folders down. I am trying to find a way to change the default starting folder for the tree structure in the FILES tab. Currently, the tree structure starts at the root of that directory, then like 10 folders down to get to my working Customers directory. I would like to make the Customers directory the starting point.
I hope that that explains my issue. If not, I hope any questions you might have will help me to explain it better.
Thanks!

Hi noisrev,
The following steps will change your default starting folder and will not change your folder structure. I know this works with FTP but I haven’t checked it with other access methods.
1)     Open Dreamweaver
2)     Site à Manage Sites…
3)     Select your site and click Edit…
4)     Click on the Advanced tab
5)     Click on Remote Info in the side panel
6)     Them in Host Directory type in the folder path to the folder that you want to be your default folder. This should be from the default folder of your FTP account.

Default save path using AXAcroPDF

Hi,
I'm using the AxAcroPDF component in a windows forms Application.
I know that the default filename for the save dialog can be setup using AxAcroPDF.src("filename");
Is there an option to set the default path for the save dialog.
Is there a way to prevent the save dialog from appearing on screen and just save the file
to the default path and filename.
Thanks

Hi,
Each Logic session creates it's own save path. The best way is to allow for Logic to store all relative data for each session in it's own song folder.
Unfortunately, you have to tell your students where you want them to store their song folders. Logic simply obeys commands at that point, and cannot force a save into a pre-determined folder.
You also can lock certain areas of the computer, so the students cannot save in those folders.

Modify default installation path of WindowsApps

Modify default installation path of WindowsApps
First explain, I am a Chinese Windows user, my English fighting is only 5（very poor）.Then I will try to use some simple English to tell you my problem.
I use the method used in windows8 to modify default installation path of WindowsApps,but defeated.
Why I want to modify default installation path of WindowsApps?
Because when I installed software that is suitable for the traditional model, my C disc had only 10GB space.
I think Win8.1 is perfect.And I like the traditional mode and Metro interface.(I heard Win9 can’t use two modes at the same time,but I think simultaneous use of two modes the operation is very nice.)
The method used in windows8:
First,Enter WinPE,create a file that is the mirror image of WindowsApps in D disc.
Then,Enter Win8.1,make User get thechanges to the “Appx” folder under theregistry.
Last,Amended registry master key of “packageRoot”as “D:/WindowsApps”
This operation can be completed in Win8,but default in Win8.1.
So,could you tell me how to modify default installation path of WindowsApps?
If it’s impossible ,I hope Microsoft team could solve it.

In my opinion it's a bad idea to change this, as most software is set to install on drive C: and not all of it may be using the proper CSIDL system calls to get the locations.
You can be sure the majority of testing is done with applications installing in the system default location on C:.
A much better idea is to save a few Yuan and buy a much larger SSD for the system drive, then use the default drive C: locations for the operating system and installed programs.
