"Save As" folder not pointing to file's native directory (InDesign CC (2014), Mavericks)

I think the subject pretty much explains it.
Since recently upgrading from CS6 to CC, the File > Save As behavior has changed. With CS6 the default directory for Save As would be the file's native folder. When I run a File > Save As in CC however, Finder points to the folder that InDesign last saved to.
Any ideas on how to fix this are gigantically appreciated.

Thanks, Bob! I just noticed that the behavior is just fine when performing Save As from CC to CC file.

Is there a way to always save as folder, not session file

Is there a way to make Logic X always default to saving as a folder, not a project file?
I am using Logic X for production and Pro Tools for vocal tracking/mixing. This is a great solution for me, and while I'm sure being able to save a logic session as one file is great for others, I need it to not be an option if possible.
It is essential for my workflow that I use the folder version so I can keep bounces as well as the stems I export within the one folder. However, my clients often just hit save without looking, then when they go to bounce they have to save the bounce somewhere else, and if they don't name the bounce the same as the logic session, I have to back-track and open every session to see if it is the one I am looking for or not.
Furthermore, Logic X does not remember my preference of saving to folder. If I could select it once and it would stay the same, no one would change it but it seems there is a bug that after a certain amount of time, or if the computer dies or is restarted, the preference is reset to project file.
Maybe I'm the only guy with this problem as I can't seem to find any other threads on it, but if anyone has anything to say here, it is greatly appreciated.

Furthermore, Logic X does not remember my preference of saving to folder.
It saves that setting for me...... so I assume you have a permissions or prefs issue of some kind going on where that status is not being saved..
Try first deleting Logic's prefs and see if that fixes things....
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
If not then something else is causing the issue on your system.

Finder not displaying all files in remote directory

Sorry, this is a repost as I have gotten no response from my original request here: Finder not displaying all files in remote directory
I've exported pictures from iPhoto on my iMac to a shared directory on my mac mini. When I access that directory from my iMac, I can see some but not all of the pictures. I know the pictures exported properly because I can see them all from the mac mini. I can open up a terminal window on my iMac and see all of the files; I can also open those files from the terminal.
I'm running OSX 10.9.4 on both computers, with the mac mini also running OSX Server. I've placed a screen grab below from my iMac of what Finder sees vs what I can see from the terminal.
Why isn't Finder displaying all of my files?

thanks for responding
Adding a new file to the shared folder results in me being able to see the new file from my clients regardless of where it was added from, however the "hidden" files do not suddenly pop up.
I tried a few more experiments that had interesting results, but still didn't lead me to an answer.
First I tried copying the files from the remote directory to a local directory; I did this in 2 different ways and had different results. Method A) I copied files from the mounted share to a local dir: "cp /Volumes/MyShare/dir/*.JPG .". Method B) I copied the files using secure copy: "scp user@server:/path/to/dir/*.JPG .".
Method A resulted in Finder not being able to see the files in the local directory, while Method B did. This was interesting and lead me to suspect an issue with the way I am sharing the directory on the server. From Server settings I have both afp and smb checked. I tried enabling only one or the other and reconnecting; but this did not fix the problem.
Next I tried exporting the photos from iPhoto again. Exporting them locally results in files that Finder can see. Exporting them to my server results the same bad behavior
Getting desperate, I also tried renaming all of the files from "*.JPG" to "*.jpg" but this didn't help.
One last experiment, I see the same behavior from both another Mac and a PC on my local network... FTP works fine.
Any more ideas?

Open/Save Dialog does not show new files?

Say you are working on a logic file in a folder and you have
a few audio and movie files in that folder, and you launch
Logic and via the open/save dialog window you add a few
files to your song and in that dialog window you can see
all the files in that folder.
Then, in the Finder you add a few more files and movies to
that folder and again use the open/save dialog window to
add more files BUT the new files you added since launching
logic are NOT SHOWN in the dialog window ! ?
What's the deal with that?
Every other app can show files added since the launch of the
application, why not Logic?
PowerBook G4 1GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

project manager
um, yeah.
Should not need the project manager simply to see new files added to a directory in a Open/Save dialog window since last opening the app.
I did a scan, a extended scan, opened all the little turn down arrows of the
full path to the directory I knew there to be the new files and yes, Logic
shows them there in the "Project manager".
BUT Logic still does not show the files in the Open/Save dialog windows.
This is strange because even simple app like TextEdit can show
new files in it's Open/Save dialog function windows without the need of
a project manager.
I have to quit and re-launch each time to see any new files?

Installer does not create directories/files in APPDATA directory

I have an installer that installs the application into the Program Files directory, and additionally, is supposed to create application files and a directory structure in the Public App Data (%APPDATA%) directory of the Windows installation. In the LV Build Specification, I have created the appropriate destinations, moved the project specific files to those destinations in the Source File section, and tried combinations of the source file properties. When I run the installer, the application installs into Program Files correctly, however, nothing is created in %APPDATA%. I have even marked these files as vital to the installation, in order to stop, if there's a problem. No problem was indicated during the installation.
Thanks for the help.

Hi Jlgeris,
I build a little istaller and told the installer to put something in the appdata directory as you can see in the attached files. After installing it, I found the file in the right directory.
Did you do this in the same way?
regards
Tobias

I tried to redo the config objects but still the same issue is there. anyone has any idea

I am working on a file I created in Indesign CC 2014 and when I try to rearrange pages in the Pages menu or try to package the file, I get the spinning wheel for 20 mins. then it crashes. What should I do?

Can anyone help? I started a 24 page document in Indesign CC 2014 and have been using the file off of a dropbox acct on my two machines (desktop and macbook pro). I need to rearrange some of the pages but when I try to drag and drop the pages in the Pages menu, I get the ominous spinning wheel...for about 20 mins at times. then It will just crash. The document doesn't have a tone of images. I've also tried to collect and package the file but get the same thing.
What should I do?? Help!

try the script at Adobe Community: InDesign 6 is crashing when attempting to open a particular document. All others are opening OK.
I'd also try moving the pages to a new file, though I suspect that will crash too. Divide and conquer might work -- tray one of your operations on half the document at a time, then repeat by dividing any piece that fails, and so on, until you isolate a page, then use the same method to isolate an object (though it's possible you have a corrupt page).

Save as/Save does not point to file open location for the file

Hi,
Working with large number of files it's imperative that I can rely on the software's ability to know where open files are located on disk, so that when needed I can save all open files to their original locations. Unfortunately CS6 wil save all open files to the location of the last saved file!
Even after a power out, or CS6 crash, all the recovered files will point to the directory last document was saved to!!
This means that if I have 10 open files from 10 different folders, they will all be saved to one folder, in which maximum one of the 10 files have been opened from and I will not know where they are if I follow their original file location (e.g from Lightroom import from camera).
This generates a very time consuming manual workaround, in which I must file-by-file open the correct folder in Save as dialogue.
Using "Save As to Original Foder" has no meaning selected or de-selected.
I don't know of any other software that suppresses original file location in save/save as...
How do I disable this unproductive and illogical malfunction?
Morten

Okay, doing what you outlined, I'm getting the same result. It's acting like the file you open is a new file that hasn't been saved, and that always defaults to the last saved location. I'm not saying it should be like this, but I think it is default behavior. Only advice I can offer is to put in a feature request:

File Save dialog box not showing correct file name while saving file

hi
Currently, after the Submit button is hit, the File Save dialog box is displayed. If the user saves the file and then opens it then the output appears correct however if the user chooses to open the file without saving on the local machine then the correct viewer is not used to display the file. The name of the file is defaulted as qotSCopPrint.jsp and the default file viewer for jsp files is chosen to view the file. The format of the file is obviously not text (it is either pdf or rtf) so the output shows binary characters.

parameters : p_file like rlgrap-filename.

Set link to folder not to a file

How do I create a link to a folder of files that aren't PDFs instead of linking to a file? Either as a link or as a field. That way the user can select the file they want to open when.

Firefox needs to download and save a file before passing it to a plugin.
You can set the Boolean pref browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit to true on the about:config page to remove such files.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

Save for web not overwriting original files in cs6

It doesn't always happen but when I use save for web to save an image it goes through all the motions as normal but when I go to view the image, I find that it hasn't overwritten the original file. Has anyone else experienced this, it has happened to other people in the studio too so it might be something to do with our setup?

Are you on a mac? If you have a finder window open of the file you are trying to overwrite (or the file is open somewhere else), and it is selected in that window with the preview showing, Save For Web does not overwrite it as it's technically "In Use". Either close the window or deselect the item. This seems to happen to me more when the file is on a server but can also happen on the local disk. I am now in the habit of saving as filename_1 and then renaming them afterwards.
I would imagine you would get a similar story on a Windows machine but I have no way of testing this.

Itunes 10.2.2 not importing all files within a directory

Hello all, here is my very frustrating issue.
I am running Itunes 10.2.2.14 on a x64bit Windows 7 machine and i am having an issue importing my full library from an external USB harddrive. Originally all the music on this external drive was at one point in time completely imported and functioning in iTunes. The short version of this long story is that I moved my main personal server from windows 7 to ubuntu, after installing VM player and attaching a external HD with my music iTunes will only import 7% of my music!! I have doubled checked permissions and this is not an issue. This is also not a format issue as the mass majority of my music is .mp3.
I have cleared the music library several times, and even used another PC to import the folder and have found that iTunes appears to be importing the exact same 7% of my music library. The only article i have found that is even close to providing a explaination is page 4 on this discussion here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2566265?start=45&tstart=0
Although this workaround appears to be for a Mac, is there any way to do this in Windows/Linux?
I do not have this issue importing into Ubuntu Rythmbox. If this is really an issue of extended attributes where did they come from and why is iTunes rejecting the import with absolutely no message/errors?
This is a major bug (to me) as i am currently unable to sync the mass majority of my music, much of which was purchased from Apple!?!?!
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks.

UPDATE--> Manually adding folders (drag from explorer and drop on music libray) appears to be functioning as a work around. I have been testing individual folders and so far so good.
While this may be a workaround i have HUNDREDS of folders! =(

PSE not saving edited files to the organiser

For no apparent reason my PSE 11 application seems to have developed an annoying glitch whereby part way through an editing process it stops doing as requested in the "Save" options, by not saving edited files as version sets of the original file in the Organiser. The files are saved OK to My Pictures and I then get advised that a file is available to import and I have to import each one, stack it with the original, and put the edited file on top. This is driving me nuts as I have about 1000 photos to edit. What is causing this problem? My only thoughts are that I have c.30000 picture files in the Organiser (but this hasn't caused any problems in adding new files) and that the problem seems to have arisen since I started editing files directly from within an Album.
Help

It's the first time I see that bug mentionned in PSE11, but it's an acknowledged bug in PSE12.

Why does finder path not locate my file?

I have a jpeg on my desktop named keats,
keats.jpg however the file extension is hidden.
I`m trying to learn to search path urls in mac & finder.
I typed this but it says "folder can`t be found."
~/Users/myname/Desktop/keats.jpg
I also tried it with just keats at the end (no .jpg)

You're going to hate yourself.
The function is "Go To Folder" NOT "Go To File"

Sender file adapter is not picking the file from windows server

Hi Experts,
We have a sender file adapter running on Unix server. Now we have changed the source directory path from Unix to Windows in file access parameters. It is not picking the files from windows directory and not showing any error.
In this scenario, input file for sender adapter is *.xml and no content conversion.
Could any one please let me know is there anything needs to changed in file adapter.
Thanks in advance,
Sridhar. M

Sridhar,
What do you have in the directory path?
If it is a shared drive in unix then the directory in windows should also be a shared drive from XI system. Else if it is FTP check the address.
