Save as file location settings

Hi, so something changed in the new CC from CS6, where when you go to save as in acrobat, it directs you to the last location of the previous file that was saved, and not the last location of the current file. So if I am working on a file in project folder A, and switch to a different file in project folder B, when I use the save as or save as other function I am directed to project folder A where the last file I was working on was saved, instead of B where the current file is saved. That has not been the case in previous versions. Is there anyway to fix this? some setting somewhere?
Thanks.

Posted this bug three seperate times to the link George posted... no response. Crickets...
Its really painful having to constantly work around this issue. Again, Adobe, please fix, or at least respond that this was a tactical change in XI so we at least know to go back to the previous version.

Save in file location?

Hey all. I'm really confident with actions, but new to scripting. I'm looking write something to 'save as' a file into the open file's location. So whatever file I'm working on, when I run the action or script it will save to the current folder. I haven't found a way to do this with actions so I want to know if I can with scripts.
For example, on the desktop I have a test1 folder and test2 folder. I can record an action to save an open image from test1 to test1, but then open images from test2 go back into test1. My work around right now is another action (file/automate/batch) to run the saving action and open the dialog box where I can direct it where to save.
I appreciate any help.

Just remember if you do delete and replace files you could possible loose something you can not recovered except from backup which you may on may not have. An other approach would be to rename the original file for possible deletion. Like rename original.ext to original.ext.4deletion. Neither way is ideal for both ways have a problem.
Remember if in a folder there are different file type with like name for example original.jpg and original.PSD and a Image Processor Pro run was setup to save PSD files for image files in that folder. When the jpeg file is processed the like named psd file would be deleted or renamed by the mod made.. Then a new originalname.PSD would be saved with the modifications made to the jpeg document. Then that new originalname.PSD would then be processes by the script for that file would be in the list of files to process. So the new originalname.PSD would be opened and processed deleted or renamed and a new new originalname.pds with a different modification would be saved.
What you wind up with using the delete mod is your original.jpg and an originalname.PSD That may be nothing like you wanted and your original layered PSD file was deleted never processed and lost. If you used the rename approach the script should fail during the second rename when it tries to rename the new originalname.PSD to originalname.PSD.4deletion for that file now exists.
If the file list has a different sort order where the psd file is processed first the Layered PSD file still gets deleted and and replaced with the modifications made to the jpeg document a file you wanted and you still have your original jpg file and the original psd file is still lost. The rename mod should still bomb on the second rename.
There is no easy solution for often you save different file type for an image and you may have then a single folder. Paul's picture processor has a an source image file type filter you may be able to use his processor to filter a source file type extension and save the same file type. Maybe even replacing source files. I have not tested it.
Picture Processor II dialog:
I just did a quick test and Paul's Picture Processor can be used to filter file types and replace the filtered files.
Source folder = target folder jpg to jpg test dialog settings

Log file location settings

Is it possible to change the log file locations, both master log file (from hyperion_home\essbase\essbase.log) and individual application log files (from their respective applicaiton folders), to some completely different locations. If yes, then what are the files that need to be configured or what settings need to be done for that. Thanks a lot...

I like the idea, but I don't believe there are any settings for this (unless they are undocumented, and I doubt it).Perhaps you could do something in the O.S. to cause a replication or redirection to occur. Seems feasible, at least.

Isit possible to change the default save as file type settings?

Hi,
I would like to set the default "save" and "save as" file type to "PDF /A" instead of the default "PDF" due to compatibility issue with some of our systems. Can this be done?
So when a user click on the save button at the top it auto save as "PDF /A" and when the user select save as the default selection will be "PDF /A" ?

Dave,
Did you ever find an answer to this? We are having the same issue.
Thanks,
Mike

Save As file locations.

Hello,
I'm using CS5 on a Windows XP system and when I go to File | Save As sometimes InDesign will bring up the folder I opened the file in or the My Documents folder (which I don't use). Preferably, I'd like Save As to open the folder where I opened the file from. I've searched the forums but didn't have any luck. So far I’ve tried creating a new Windows profile and deleting the preferences files. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Craig

When it doesn't go to the location you opened the file from it means that Indesign is automatically making a copy of the file you have opened. This effectively makes the save as operation like an initial save of a new document. It will be doing this either because the file you are opening is an older version or uses a plugin that you don't have. In the case of an older version don't overwrite it with a CS5 file so you have a backup in case of future corruption. In the case of a missing plugin an export to idml and resave of that file should fix it.
As to the annoyance of it there's not much you can do unfortunately. Sometimes if I know it's going to happen I open up a CS5 file from the same location first and do a save as, this means the next save as goes to that location also.

How do I change the pre-filled file location when I choose Save As?

16 September 2013
Using Windows 7 Home Edition and Firefox 24.0
I always want Firefox to offer a location when I download stuff. At the moment it fills the Save As file location with a location I never use and it is the same one every time, and I don't know how to stop this from happening. How can I teach Firefox to fill the Save As location with another file location, for example Desktop?
NB This is absolutely not about setting the default under
Tools/Options/General/Downloads/Save Files To...
although everyone automatically assumes it is.
Background: After using Firefox for a few months on my Windows 7 machine, I then imported old Firefox settings from a VISTA machine.

You may want to reset the prefs file, it should show the last place you saved a page from.

Can't save excel files

Getting an error when trying to save files in excel: "Someone lese is working in 'Network path' right now please try again later.
All PC's are Windows 7 and Office 2013. I can confirm that the file is not open by anyone else.
This is becoming very frustrating and I can see other threads on this issue with no resolution.

If you just can't save Excel file located in shared drive normally, it should not a Office product issue, maybe there are some other applications in the server causes these issue. Check permission and try to disable the preview and detailed

File Sharing Settings

I cant seem to find File Sharing settings. which MP3 ringtones require me to sync my iphone to itunes and go to File sharing Settings

Ok, try deleting this file. com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file to the Desktop. Launch System Preferences. Try to save the File Sharing settings and Quit System Preferences. If this works, drag that .plist file to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

Why can't FC save the folder locations set for render files?

I wrongly assumed that when you go to system settings to select the scratch disks (root folder where all the audio and video render folders and files go, capture files, etc.) that Final Cut would save the folder locations within the FC project you are working in. Makes total sense, but for reasons I don't understand, FC does NOT save these folder locations and the result is that I have render files scattered all over the place on my hard drive and it is quite a mess! Fortunately, the project file remembers where it put the render files, so as long as you don't remove or rename any project folders, everything shows up rendered on the time line as it should. The problem is, if I'm working on several projects at once, I have to reset the scratch disks every time I reopen a project, otherwise the program will save it to the last scratch location selected and put all of the render files in another project's folder. I often forget to reset the scratch disks when I'm busy and now I have render files mixed up in various project folders.
Why can't you just set the scratch disks one time when you first set up the project and have the project always remember that location, instead of always having to reset them every time you reopen a project. I love Final Cut, but this is a product defect that should be addressed and corrected. If the project file can remember where it is putting all the render files, it should also be capable of remembering the scratch disk locations you originally selected when you first set up the project or better yet, save it to the project's root folder by default. Am I missing something here?

As MtD describes, FCP sets file locations for ALL projects at the system level. It may help to organize things this way so your files don't end up scattered across multiple locations.
Save the project files to your User folder on the boot drive.
For all the other files FCP creates, set them on a non-boot drive similar to this:
Media Drive
----->FCP Documents
---------->Autosave Vault
---------------->Acme Widgets Demo (sample project name)
---------------->Grass Valley Music Video (sample project name)
---------------->Jen's Wedding (sample project name)
---------->Audio Render Files
---------------->Acme Widgets Demo (sample project name)
---------------->Grass Valley Music Video (sample project name)
---------------->Jen's Wedding (sample project name)
---------->Capture Scratch
---------------->Acme Widgets Demo (sample project name)
---------------->Grass Valley Music Video (sample project name)
---------------->Jen's Wedding (sample project name)
----------->Render Files
---------------->Acme Widgets Demo (sample project name)
---------------->Grass Valley Music Video (sample project name)
---------------->Jen's Wedding (sample project name)
----------->Waveform Cache
Of course, you can choose to keep renders or the Autosave Vault folder on other drives ... just keep them off your boot drive. It may not be the way you're use to working, but it's worked well for me the past 14 years. When you finish with a project and ready to delete the associate files, just go to your media drive and delete folders bearing the project's name.

Batch processing: save processed file with same name to different location without moving the original

Hi, I would like to denoise Voice Over files with help of Auditions Batch Process. However, I have to save the files with the same name as the original, so that I can simply relink them in Premiere. Since I do want to keep the originals, I would like to save the processed files to a different location.
Unfortunately, Batch Processor adds " Copy" to the processed files and moves the originals along with the processed files to the new folder (causing Premiere to loose the original files).
Can I achieve my goal with Batch Processor, and how would I have to configure it?
Kind regards,
Andreas

Which version of Audition are you using? The latest ones allow you to specify where the batched files are saved and also if any Prefix or Postfix are added to the file name. These are all under Export Settings in the Batch Process pane. However you must have the Export box ticked to give you access to the settings.

"You don't have permission to save in this location." Cannot save any files anywhere. All permissions open, all other browsers save OK in same place. Why?

I cannot save any files anywhere. I always get the message "You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission. Would you like to save in the {} folder instead?"
I have created a clean profile in Profile Manager, and used the Reset Firefox tool. The only way I can save files is to use another browser. IE and Chrome have no problems saving files to the exact same folders.
This seemed to have started with the last update on 10/5/2013.

Maybe something changed in the program shortcut you use to start Firefox. Can you check right-click > Properties > Compatbility tab and make sure nothing is selected there?
''I've never tried this myself, but the forum has a standard set of steps for a "clean reinstall" of Firefox to replace damaged program files. During this process, you are not removing personal settings, but you are removing some shared add-on folders, which would affect Windows Media Player and perhaps other plugins/extensions installed that way.''
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete (or if you're nervous, move or rename) the Firefox program folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox (32-bit)
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox (64-bit)
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Does that help?

Photoshop CS5(64Bit): "You don't have permission to save to this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission." I am the administrator and I give myself permission. What can I do to save the file?

Photoshop CS5(64Bit): "You don't have permission to save to this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission." I am the administrator and give myself permission. What can I do to save the file? This is the user's PC, licensed PS CS5 software and Win 7 OS.

Temporarily save to another folder, until you figure it out.
Just because you are the owner and are the sole administrator, does not always guarantee that you have permission. There are several folders that you can not access no matter how hard you try. As for folders in your document folder, it is more likely a basic permission setting that took on permissions of a copied file. Some folders and files are set to a child/parent default setting, meaning the child folder/file (the one you are accessing) has the identical settings of its parent and when the parent changes, so does the child.
You can alter the parent or the child folder/file.
Right click on the folder/file select properties.
Click on the security tab.
Click on each of the group names and see what permissions are set.
You can then edit a group if necessary.
If it will not allow it, you may need to use the advanced button to create a new copy of the group which should happen when you alter its settings (In other words, you don't have to physically create the copy, it does it for you when you OK the changes)
The administrator should have full access to the folder in the documents folder, if you are listed as an associate of the administrator group your name should also be listed there with full access. The System should also have full access.
All other groups should have reading access only if they exist.

How do I convert a file located in my e-mail from PDF to Word. I can't seem to save it in my word files.

How do I convert a file located in my e-mail (that is secured) from PDF to Word. I can't seem to save the PDF file anywhere.

Hi williamf,
For starters, please try triple-clicking in the Word document where you want to edit the text (sometimes, that's what it takes to select text in Word). If that doesn't work, I'd be interested in hearing more about the PDF file that you converted and the method that you used to convert it. For example, how was the PDF created (and by what app)? Did you convert via Adobe Reader (what version) or via the ExportPDF website?
If you can tell us more about the file, we should be able to get to the bottom of things.
Best,
Sara

Aim to process all files in folders on desktop to run through photoshop and save in multiple locations

Aim to process all files in folders on desktop to run through photoshop and save in multiple locations
Part one:-
Gather information from desktop to get brand names and week numbers from the folders
Excluding folders on desktop beginning with "2" or "Hot"
Not sure about the list of folders
but I have got this bit to work with
set folderPath to "Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Desktop:DIVA_WK30_PSD" --<<this would be gained from the items on the desktop
set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, ":"}
set folderName to last text item of folderPath
set my text item delimiters to "_WK"
set FolderEndName to last text item of folderName
set brandName to first text item of folderName
set my text item delimiters to "_PSD"
set weekNumber to first text item of FolderEndName
set my text item delimiters to oldTID
After running this I have enough information to create folders in multiple locations, (i need to know where they are so that photoshop can later save them in those multiple locations
So I need the following folders created
Locally
Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber
Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber: brandName
Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber: brandName: brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_LR" --(Set path for Later)PathA
Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber: brandName: brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_HR"--(Set path for Later)PathB
Network
Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:"Week" + weekNumber
Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:"Week" + weekNumber:brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_LR" --(Set path for Later)PathC
Volumes:GEN:Website_Images --(no need to create folder just set path)PathD
FTP (Still as a normal Volume) So like another Network
Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber
Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber:Brand
Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber:Brand:brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_LR" --(Set path for Later)PathE
Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber:Brand:brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_HR" --(Set path for Later)PathF
I like to think that is end of Part 1
Part 2
Take the images (PSD's) from those folders relevant to the Brand then possibly run more applescript that opens flattens and then saves it in the locations above.
For example….
An image in folder DIVA_WK30_PSD will then run an applescript in Photoshop, lets call it DivaProcessImages within this we then save to PathA, PathB, PathC, PathD, PathE, PathF the folder path of C should therefore look like this
Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:Week30:DIVA_WK30_LR and of course save the image as original filename.
Then from the next folder
An image in folder Free_WK30_PSD will then run an applescript in Photoshop, lets call it FreeProcessImages within this we then save to PathA, PathB, PathC, PathD, PathE, PathF the folder path of C should therefore look like this
Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:Week30:Free_WK30_LR and of course save the image as original filename.
The photoshop applescript i'm hoping will be easier as it should be a clearer step by step process without any if's and but's
Now for the coffee!!

You can use a records
