Open filebrowser in specific folder

Hi
I would like a function where I can open a fileBrowser or saveAs dialog in a chosen folder. As default 'my documents' is chosen but I need to target a user folder on a network share if possible - any solutions??
** I have looked at browseForDoc() and saveAs() but neither of them seem to offer the choice of a startup folder.

Hi,
How to use browseForDoc() in Desinger?

How to Open a Specific Folder in the Finder via Shortcut Key

I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere, so sorry for not finding it...
Is it possible to assign a shortcut key to open a specific folder with Automator or AppleScript? There are 4-5 commonly used folders buried 10-11 levels deep on a server and I'd love to have a shortcut key to open those particular folders in the Finder.
Could you give me some assistance?
Thanks!

QuickKeys may work, or you can look on http://www.versiontracker.com or http://www.macupdate.com for other alternatives.
Another option is to create aliases to those folders and store the aliases in a local folder which you can place on your Dock, the Finder window sidebar or toolbar.

Windows explorer stopped working when trying to open a specific folder...and solution

I have had a problem with a specific folder or two on my computer, when I open the folder I get the error message that windows explorer has stopped working. It only happens with specific folders and everything else works fine.
I did a lot of reading to figure out a fix.
I finally tried right clicking the program explorer.exe located in C:Windows and chose "run as administrator" and this fixed the problem.
Note that the error message details list an application crash of windows.exe
I thought I would post this to help others. I don't know if this is the same problem some folks describe with a continual loop of the error message, problems opening the control panel or problems upon start up. But if you have a similar problem to the one I described try this very simple fix.
Cheers

I don't know what OS you are running, but under Windows 7 RC build 7100 the selection was ghosted to "run as administrator".
I was able to stop the problem from happening by right clicking the folder I was having problems with, selecting properties>customize tab and changing the "Optimize this folder for:" from Videos to General Items.
I know that this particular folder was optimized for general items from the beginning as I had just folders inside which were filled with videos. When I started to move videos into this parent folder to separate them later, this parent folder switched by itself
to being optimized for Videos. I'm not positive but I think that this was the time I started to have a problem with this folder until I did what I described above.
This is my very first post, so I hope I explained things well enough to be of help to someone.
Thanks
That's fixed my problem. Stopped responding every time I opened My Videos, changed the file properties to optimized for general and now the icons aren't thumbnail big but it doesn't crash now... Thank you, it was really starting to bug me.

Open specific folder when starting

Would like to set specific folder/catalog as the one to open on initial load of organizer? How?

And, if you're using "Folder View", I think it remembers the last folder used. In any case, you cannot specify the default folder to open.

Finder runs near 100% cpu when I open a specific folder.

I noticed my mac pro battery went to the red zone in under two hours, it normally goes all day. I checked activity monitor and it showed finder using 97% cpu.
To keep it short, I discovered there's a problem only when I have a specific folder open. I don't have to be accessing the folder, finder goes near 100% anytime this folder is open, even when there are no other apps running. It's a relatively large folder - about 3300 items counting all files and subfolders. Is there a maximum size finder can handle under snow leopard or, perhaps, on an intel processor? I tried moving half the items to another folder and the problem seemed to stop. This isn't a good solution for me, however, as I need all the files located together.
There is no problem with this folder on my good old power pc running 10.4, so I'm processing it there for the time being.
HELP? Thanks.

No, info is not checked, nor is arrange by nor show icon. Thanks anyway.
However, curiously, if I change view from icon to list, finder cpu % drops down to near zero. Change view back to icon, and finder goes crazy again. Maybe this'll mean something to someone?
Meanwhile, I can now use that folder, just have to remember to set it to list view.

How to open the specific folder view with JS

Hi,
Maybe very simple thing, but I don´t know how to "open" the view to an excisting folder like "Macintosh HD/MyDocs/This_Folder" ?
Thanks in advance!

I found the answer myself. It was this what was missing (to choose the specific folder).
eg.
app.browseTo(Folder("/Macintosh HD/MyFolder/"));

How do i open a new doc in specific folder?

In Windows, right click of mouse gives options to open up different kinds of new files in that particular folder.
In Mac, I open a file and then have to save it to a particular folder. Any way to open it in the folder directly?

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

I need to open files in a folder within a photoshop action

I am writing an action (to be triggered by automator) to take three photos from a tethered camera and open, size, and crop them, and place them in specific locations on a template image to create two photo-booth strips side by side on a 4x6 print. It works perfectly, but when I write the "open" command into the action, it referenced the files by name. I need to find a way to have my action open the three files in a folder (the only three that will be there thanks to my automator action), but not reference them by name. Is there any way of opening images in an action without referencing them by name? Maybe some sort of open images in a folder type of thing? Any ideas are very much appreciated.
---Dan

I have played with the >>Toggle dialogue on/off<< field and manually opened the files from their folder, but the action has the file's location written into it. I need it to open all files in a folder. As part of my Automator action, I am moving my photos (taken in batches of 3) into a workflow system of folders so the photos from the camera save to a "from camera" folder, and then move to a "for photoshop" folder, and those are the images that open into the ps action and get put into the template. The action saves the composite image to an archive folder, and deletes the image layers, and then the Automator action moves the originals to another archive folder. There shouldn't be issues as long as the actions keep running and I can figure out how to open files form a folder without referencing the specific images in the folder. Also please keep in mind that I am writing this as an action witihn Photoshop CS3, so basically clicking record, and letting the computer write the "code". Did that help?

How to save in a specific folder if i'm no more able to see the subdirectories?

suddenly today I discovered that I'm no more able to choose a specific document when I have to attach it to an e-mail and at the same time I'm no more able to make a save as in a specific folder. I'm able only to see the main directories like desktop, home, documents on the left side but when I'm trying to go into the sud directories of each folder I'm not able to do this and even if I click for instance on the folder document I do not see any document. The strange thing is that if I want to open a specific document I'm able to navigate anywhere! Is there someone able to help me?

Yes, I'm seeing exactly the same of your above screenshot but when I click on the right arrow I see only the main folders on the left (preferred folders, home etc. but without any specific file in those folders and even clicking on those ones I'm not able to navigate through them i.e. to expand them)
yes it is happening in Safari too (see below screenshot) while for instance is not happening with Aperture

How to search within a specific folder

I know this sounds elementary. However, it doesn't seem to work for me. Let me explain:
I have opened a finder window and clicked on a specific folder. In that folder are over a hundred files. In the same finder window, I enter the exact file name of an file in that same folder (let's assume we know its in that folder). Let's pretend the folder I'm searching is called "PhotosA"
After I type in the file name, the search begins. However, in the window, it tells me it's searching "This Mac" and the folder which I have selected--PhotosA--is not selected. So then I click on the PhotosA folder and it shows up as found.
My question is: Why do I need to do an extra step to click on PhotosA, when I have already told the computer I want to search in PhotosA? Why does the search always go to "This Mac"? This is not a major problem. It's just a minor annoyance.
Is there a way for me to set my Mac to search the folder or drive I have selected, as opposed to it always going to "This Mac"?

Unless you want to install a java routine with a pl/sql wrapped around it, you can't run local applications likes windows explorer from a browser..

Save button to save in specific folder

I would like to create a button that saves the open PDF to a specific folder when pressed. Anybody know how??

This can be done with JavaScript, but only with the help of code you place in a folder-level JavaScript, since the SaveAs document method can only be run from a privileged context. More information is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference.
For some sample code, see example 1 here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.168.html

How To Fix View Options for a Specific Folder

I have several folders that I prefer to view in specific ways: Applications in list view, alphabetically, with large icons; another also in list view, by most recently modified, also large icons; another in icon view, with icons set to a specific size, etc.
Obviously, I know how to use View Options to set the view as I'd like for each specific folder. And I've set these folders with the "Always Open in..." button.
Unfortunately, after closing that folder, the next time I come back to it, it's reverted to different View settings: a folder that I'd set to view by most recently modified is back to alphabetical, or the icon size has changed, etc.
Am I missing something? I had noticed similar behavior under 10.6, but I attributed it then to the fact that my drive was dying, and I was getting all sorts of wonky behavior.

or this?
SQL> select text from ALL_VIEWS
2 where VIEW_NAME
3 ='EMP_VIEW';
