Photoshop CC keeps changing my windows folder view settings

Every time I save a file from PS into a particular folder on my desktop, the view settings for that folder get reset to defaults.
For example, I like the view setting to be on "details" and to be sorted in descending order by "date modified" (not 'date', which means i have to uncheck the 'date' field and check the 'date modified' field each time this happens)
I open and close this folder from my desktop many times a day and the view stays the same, but as soon as I save a file out of PS and navigate to that folder from the save dialog box the view is reset to "thumbnails" again; which would be ok if it only showed up that way while in PS but once this happens it changes the view even for when I open the folder from the desktop.
This does not happen with any other program, only PS. I'm using windows 7 pro 64-bit.
It's worth noting that if I change the view settings from withing the save dialog box, those changes are not reflected when I open the folder from desktop.
Also, once I make the changes, PS will keep the settings for all subsequent save operations, even after closing and re-opening the program. But once I reboot I'm back to square one.

Photoshop has no control over that. That is an OS setting, and open/save are OS dialogs (not really controlled by Photoshop).

Global Folder View Settings

Hello,
Is there an app for Mac OS 9 that will allow me to change the global folder view settings for things like Window Size & Position, Order of Columns, and Icon or List View? It seems that I spend too much time trying to get new windows to look like I want them to. I have searched for shareware apps with no success.
Thanks,
David

Hi, David -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
I'm not aware of any 3rd-party utility that can do all of that, or even much of it.
There is a work-around that will take care of most of it.
When a folder is created via the New Folder item in the File menu, that folder is automatically granted the defined characteristics (view, order, arrangement, etc.) of the enclosing, or parent, folder. For this purpose, the desktop is considered to be a folder.
If you have a preferred group of settings, set up an empty folder with those settings. Put it in a convenient place. Then, when you want to create a folder with those same characteristics, open that folder and create the new folder within it. The new daughter folder will be given the characteriestics of the parent folder. You can then move the newly created folder wherever you want, and it will retain those settings.

Well it came installed on my brand new Windows 8 pro w530 I received 4 weeks ago and has never worked. When you try to open power manager it just crashes. If you uninstall it the Lenovo software just keep reinstalling it. If you uninstall the Lenovo PM driver but do not reboot you can then open Power Manager. The minute you reboot the Lenovo software reinstallls the driver.
Why would Lenovo install software on a brand new Windows 8 laptop that is broken and useless? Tech support is absolutely no help they transfer you to the software department which wants to charge you to fix a problem that Lenovo created!!! It is crazy!! I was hoping someone here could solve this problem or maybe someone at Lenovo would see this and get the problem resolved. Tech support has been useless. I reported the problem to them at least 5 times.

Windows 8.1 folder view settings not saved

Hello, Everyone
Windows 8.1 Each folder view settings not saved what i can do.I
want different view settings in each folder likes folder 1 i want large thumbnails & folder 2 small
What i can do to resolve the issue thanks in advanced.
I don't have any backup no system restore I also try to rest or restore default view settings but none are working for me.

Hi,
This is default behavior. It is not possible to set Windows Explorer to remember individual folder view settings for folders included in libraries. All libraries and its included folders share the same view.

Folder 'View' settings via PowerShell?

I have a need to copy a folder and make sure it is showing Medium Icon view. I had hoped that the Medium Icon setting was just folder metadata and would copy with the folder, but that seems not to be the case. So now I am trying to figure out where this
info is stored, and how to modify the setting with PowerShell. Given that the manual approach is not to right click on the folder, but within the folder, I am stumped in how to proceed.
Gordon

There's a tool called ShellBagsFolder which can be used to determine which registry key contains the folder view settings, but I strongly suspect this would be different for each computer. There are a series of GUIDs that are also associated with the
folder (there's no human readable string that has the folder path) which you might be able to search for and find the hook between the folder path and the registry key so you don't need the third party utility as part of your script.
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_bags_view.html
If you download and install it and run it, you can search through the list of folders that will be displayed, right-click on it, and select Open Slot Key in Registry to open Regedit to the parent key for the folder.
I hope this post has helped!

Problems with Folder view settings and file association in Windows 8.1

My Windows 8.1 64 bit started forgetting the view settings from a folder.So if I go in a folder and I set it to List-View for example,whenever
I close that folder and I reopen it the view is set automatically to Details view.And this applies to every folder in my computer except Desktop.It drives me crazy,especially in my pictures folders.
Also with this problem another one came.I can't set a program to open some files,so the file associations for some files is broken.For example
i can't set qTorrent to open torrent files.It just won't open them and the files apear as white documents just like I hadn't had a Torrent program installed already.I find it weird that both problems appeared together.
I previously had to reinstall windows on my machine,because of this problems.It worked normal at the begging,but today these problems appeared
again.
I tried scanning SFC
Scan with no result.
I hope I will get a fix here.
Thanks.
Update:I also just discovered that Metro apps are not working...what the heck its wrong with my windows.

Hey thanks for the reply ,but I got a fix for everything.Apparently the problem is in the registry.
So If the problem began recently, you can try this to fix it :
Press Windows Key + R to show the Run box, type RSTRUI and press enter.
Choose a recent date and time from before the problem beginning (such as the day before yesterday) and click Next.
The system will restore registry settings from that day, and restart.
If you do this however,all the programs you had installed after the restore point date will
be DELETED (same with any settings changes made before that date),so be sure to backup things.Hope this will help someone someday. .

How to auto remember folder view settings in finder. its driving me crazy!

Is there any way i can have finder NOT apply the view settings of the current folder to all folders opened after the current folder. It gets very annoying!

You can't change the overall behavior, but you can customize individual folders so that they will remember to always open in a particular view even if other folders are subsequently opened in a different view.
For each folder you want to "customize," open its Finder window, select the view you want, then type command-J and click the box at the top for "Always open in xxx view". That command refers to "this folder", not "all folders".
Folders that have not been customized in this way will open in the same view that was in effect for the previously opened folder. The box for "Use as defaults" at the bottom of the View Option window does not change this behavior - checking it appears rather to mean: "IF a future new folder is displayed in the same view as this one, THEN that view will have the same internal parameters (text size, etc) as this window does."

Folder view settings inheritance

I'm trying to understand how inheritance works and how to break it.
My problem is that say I want to switch some folders with images to cover flow view without affecting other folders. At the moment the switch will also change most other folders with the exception of a few.
Why do these few folders stay as before?
How can I change view settings for only the folder I'm looking at?
Any hints appreciated!

I've done that. I have all my folders set to open in Icon view except my Music folder, which is set for List view, but I still have the problem with the settings not sticking.
I'm not sure if this is related, but when I got back a folder, the Finder doesn't always remember where I was, ie., I'll be at the bottom of my Applications folder, go to the Utilities folder and then go back to Applications at the top.)

Folder view settings not retained in Leopard

Anyone else seen this problem ?
I like to have different folders with different view settings - some icon, some list, and now some coverflow. But, it doesn't retain these settings, it just reverts to whatever view I was looking at last, and applies that to all folders.
This is intensely annoying !
Tiger didn't used to do that.
Is there a solution ?

OS X Lion keeps changing focus window away from browser, why?

Basically,
I just upgraded to Lion a day or two ago. I am finding that while I am typing in Firefox, the OS takes the focus out of the browser. So as I keep trying to type all I hear is a sound, (the sound that the keys I am pressing are invalid). This is very annoying, and I am not sliding my hand over the trackpad or anything like that. It seems to happen more when I am pausing for a second, and most importantly after pressing the enter key.
So my question is how to i disable this, or what the heck is going on. I never had this problem in Snow Leopard and to me is a huge inconvience.
My system is a MacBook Pro Jan 2011 Unibody, I really don't think more then that is relevant but I would be happy to submit it if it is.
Even in typing this it has happened more then five times in less then ten minutes. Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you,

Hello fellow Mac users,
The root cause of this issue will be different for everyone as it’s usually some rogue app or process that isn’t working properly. In my case it was a Symantec utility called ‘SymUIAgent.app’.
Follow these steps to identify what specifically is causing the issue on your computer
Save the code on this file to your desktop using the filename id_issue.py: https://gist.github.com/iMerica/8928556/raw/73832a509de4dc5394cf1747b997ea1bd1b0 ff4e/identify_focus_issue.py
Open Terminal.app (Located in /Applications/Utilities)
In Terminal, cd to your Desktop using cd ~/Desktop
Run python id_issue.py and just let your computer sit for a few minutes (assuming the issue is happening within a few minutes/seconds).
Basically this code gets the current active window every three seconds and prints it as standard output which you can view in Terminal. Once you find the offending app, search on Google for specific steps on removing it.
I hope that helps!

Do I need to purchase a new version of Photoshop after an change in Windows version?

I installed photoshop CS6 in a 32 bit Windows 7 professional machine. Photoshop is telling me that it needs more RAM to perform various functions. I currently have 8 gigs of RAM installed, but recently
found out that the 32 bit Windows 7 max's out at 3.4 gigs. The question I have is: If I re-install a 64 bit version of Windows 7, do I then have to purchase Photoshop again or can I use the current install.

Just deactivate yor old machine install if its your second install so there is a activation available for when you install CS6 on you new 64 Bit system. By default CS6 install will install both the 64 bit and 32 bit versions of Photoshop. Be aware if your using third party plug-ins you need to make sure you install 32 bit version into the Photoshop 32 bit version tree and 64 bit versions in the Photoshop 64 bit tree Plug-ins folders

Why does FireFox keep changing the window when clicking on another program??

I upgraded to FF 8 recently. When I start it and go to, say, Gmail (in window A) then open another browser window (window B) to go to, say, Facebook, if I click on another program such as Live Messenger or even a reduced window of another program the window in FF always changes. I.E., I look at window A while B is open. I click on the message box from Live and the window changes to B. I click on A to get back to that window then click on the Live box again and B pops back up. I can't get it to stay on A no matter how many times I try.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

PSE9 Organizer Folder View Settings

Does anyone know how the Oranizer is storing your hard drive's folder structure that you see in the left panel when in Folder Location display? Mine has become corrupted after I moved to a new Computer. My Catalog and image files are still on the original externally mapped drive. I'm pretty sure it's stored in the catalog because if I creaate a new catalog it has the folder contents correct. I've tried Repair, Optimize and Reconnect but it didn't fix anything.
Even stranger is I see 4 different indications for the location of a file when it's selected.
1. Hover over a folder and the popup displays the path of the folder. This is correct. Select this folder.
2. The thumbnails displayed in the center panel are not actually in the selected folder.
3. The folder path displayed above the center panel is incorrect and not the same as 1 or 2 above.
4. The folder path displayed in the file's properties is correctly showing where the file is.
If it isn't possible to hack a fix in some external Oraginzer config file then is there a way to create a new catalog and then import your image files with all the tagging and Albums from the original Catalog?
All my image files are stored in one location so it's easy to find them. My workflow is to input files to my PC into the My Documents folder path that have the Watched folders. I then perform all the necessary tagging and finally do a Organinzer Move to the final storage location on a 2nd hard drive.
thanks, -phil

Selected folder is; C:\Users\dommerpw\Pictures\Eye-Fi
Center panel title bar is showing: C:\Users\dommerpw\Pictures\HDR
There's only one thumbnail image displayed. Selecting the thumbnail and file properties shows; C:\Users\dommerpw\Pictures\from Phone\. This is the true physical location of the file.
Looking with Windows Explorer the C:\Users\dommerpw\Pictures\Eye-Fi folder actually has 16 files in it not just 1.
The external drive is mapped to the same drive letter as on the old computer. In Thumbnail View all of the files are displayed and available at there actual location. I've looked in the catalog database file with Visual Studio and all of the files listed in the media table are correctly cataloged with their physical location. The volume table is also correct with the records in it. It's only when the Organizer is in Folder Location mode that there's this corruption.
I can't figure out where or how the Organizer is discovering the folder hierarchy. It doesn't appear to use the databse file because that looks correct. And it doesn't appear to be using an interface to Windows to discover it in real time. It has to be something that the Oraginizer calculates at some time. Keep in mind if I create a new catalog and then Get The Photos in c:\Users\dommerpw|\Pictures it correctly shows what files are in what folder.

Individual Folder View Settings

Hello all
Intel iMac - Leopard 10.5.2
Question: Is it possible to assign different folders their own views? For example I might want my Photos folder to be Icons or Cover Flow but I don't want that setting to be carried into other folders.
I noticed that when I specify a different view by pressing either on the icons on the tool bar or selecting it up top in the menu that the selected settings applies to all folders.

Hi,
As I understand it, using the back/forward toolbar buttons retains the current view selection. It might help to think of the aforementioned setting only applying to newly opened folders. So, for instance, if you used the cmd+up arrow combination to go back up the file hierachy, instead of the back button, that constitutes opening a new folder.
This might not seem entirely logical when you have the toolbar visible, as newly opened folders open in the same window, but if you hide the toolbar and tried using the cmd+up arrow combination, it'll be more obvious.
Hope that helps.
