Save location of Grab screen

Hi there,
is it possible to change the save location after screen capture using grab? Currently grab saves everything to the desktop. Anyone has a better app for screen capture? thanks.

Hi,
have a look at InstantShot http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23605/instantshot%21
Or use something like Onyx http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11582/onyx to change th settings of Grab.

Is it possible to change the save location of screen shots?

I am trying to find out how to change the save location of screen shots. Is this possible? And how would I do this?

Yes, it's possible but you will need to use Terminal located in HD > Applications > Utilities

What is quicktime screen recording default save location?

I made a screen recording in Quicktime (OS X 10.8), and now I can't figure out where it saved the file. Yes I know (now) that I could have changed the save location/name in the options before recording, but I didn't. I just recorded. Now I'm unable to locate where the actual file is.
The File menu doesn't have any Save options, so I can't save it again. I have duplicated it, but now I just have a copy that I likewise do not know the location of.
Finder->All My Files doesn't show it.
Quicktime Help Center tells me how to record, and that I can change the save location in options, but it doesn't say where the default save location is.

Nice! I found my own answer. There's much I think and feel about this issue that I'm keeping to myself, but you can draw your own conclusions about usability.
Despite there being no Save, Save As..., etc. options in the File menu for Quicktime (with this recently recorded movie as the active window), the file was not yet saved.
To save the file, one must attempt to close the recorded movie window. Then a file save dialog appears. *boggle*

How to add favorite folders to "Save As.." dialog screen

Hi all,
To the Windows Explorer shell it is possible to add favorite folders to the "Save as..." dialog screen (done so by dragging shortcuts to an open "Save as..." screen). [ see screendump for what I am referring to ]
Now one would suppose the same is possible for the "Save As..." screen from within Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Unfortunately, it is not: no possibility to add favorite locations there....
This isn't productive at all, since my docs are on a separate disc in non-standard folders. Each time I wish to save PDF-scanned documents to the harddisk, I need to click my way through too much folders...
Anyone know a way (registry edit perhaps?) that enables me to add favorites to the Adobe "Save As..." screen?
(I really need it there, instead of e.g. creating shortcuts on my Desktop...)
Thanks for your help!

Ok, here are three solutions I tested, all seem to work in my copy of vista.
The easiest: grab the 'places bar editor' from here: http://melloware.com/download/
Moderate: use TweakUI, the windows XP utility. You need to jump through some hoops to get it to run in Vista, but it seems to work fine. Follow the instructions by n8barber a few posts down: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/700353.htm
Hardest: edit the registry. I added the string using a single \ in the path, but somehow when i exported it I show a double \. I guess you will have to fiddle with this.

SBS 2011 GPO for changing the default save location for Word/Excel 2013 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.
I should also note that other GPO's on the SBS2011 server such as the folder redirection GPO work as expected on the same windows 7 system. It just appears to be an issue with the default save location in office2013 and other Office 2013 related GPOs which
utilize the recently added ADMX template that don't seem to be working for me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Justin,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried several different user accounts (all have local admin privileges to the workstation) with the same issue. The default save path does not get applied from the GPO to any of the users i've tried. Here's the steps I took
per your suggestion:
1. log on as a user who has never logged onto the workstation before.
2. run gpupdate /force (entered y for yes when prompted to log off).
3. Log back in as the user and open Office and check the default save path. It has not been changed to match the GPO setting.
4. Check rsop to see if the policy was applied. Rsop states the gpo was applied successfully.
I have attached the gpsvc.log file from a the session described above. The GPO Guid in question is: {DC3C93EC-7C28-48E9-BA38-FCA1E275A207}. Its common name is: U-Word 2013 Default Save Location. It's only setting is:
Policies\Administrative Templates\Policy definitions(admx files retrieved from central store\Microsoft Word 2013\Word Options\Advanced\File Locations\Default File Location = Enabled\Documents = F:\

Adobe Reader X save location issue

Hi All, i would like to seek expert helps on Adobe Reader save location issues. After we upgrade from Adobe Reader 9 to Adobe Reader X.
There are changes on how save location works in Adobe Reader X
If save PDF via Internet Explorer – the save location will according to last save location, HOWEVER
If save PDF via Adobe Reader X – the save location will set according to location the file is being open
Let me show you what i mean over the pictures
I open a reader_X_help.pdf using Adobe Reader X and then save the file using Ctrl+Shift+S at: C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My last location save
refer my last save location.jpg
Now i want to save another new file back to C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My last location save, I open the file Adobe file2.pdf located at desktop and when i do Ctrl+Shift+S, the location point to my desktop and not C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\My last location save
refer my last save location change to desktop.jpg
I have tested this features in Adobe Reader 9 and it's different whereby it's will point according to my last location save.
There is no issue with computer as i have 3 machine running different enviroment, Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 Enterprise, and all using same version of Adobe Reader X version 10.0.1.
So my questions & concern:
Is there any way to change the save location features same as Adobe Reader 9?
If YES, how to do it? By Computer Changes or Adobe Reader X packages modification using Adobe Customization tools?
If NO, Where can i find this source of documentation stated about this new changes so i can publish this information in HP website as new design changes to avoid complaint or negative feedback.
Looking forward for expert reply as soon.
Thank you very much and Have a great day.
Best Regards

Solved it!
1-go to "edit", select Preferences.
2-select from the left pane: Security (enhanced)
3-click on "add folder path" button just below the big white box
4-pick a folder of your choice and click "ok". (your selected folder path will appear in that white box above the "add folder path" button in step 3)
5-if you want to add additional folders, just repeat steps 3 & 4
6-once you are done, click "ok" on the preferences screen and click "ok" again to accept the changes.
Yes, it seems illogical, but it worked.
I tested by closing the Reader (X), then surfed the web and did what Neher5 was explaining he/she wanted to do just after opening a pdf from a website and lo-and-behold, it worked!. No more "save to temp folder" issues.
Hope this helps.

Printing the "Grab" screen selection

When I print a "Grab" screen selection I don't get the entire selection. I get about 2/3's of it starting from the left so I'm losing the right 1/3 of the selection. Anyone know how to solve this problem and get the entire selection to print?

Save it as an imag file on your desktop and print it via Preview. You can rescale the image to fit the page in the print dialog box.

Bouncing - Premiere to Audition to Premiere - How to change default save location from Desktop

When I am bouncing from Premiere to Audition "Edit Clip in Audition", and then apply the effect and save the file, it seems to save the file to the desktop. Is there a way to change this default save location? Can't seem to find it in the preferences.
Didn't even realize it was doing this. Desktop was getting pretty cluttered.

You can paste this command in Terminal
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSDocumentSaveNewDocumentsToCloud -bool false
Or use Mountain Tweaks - click the Mountain Lion tab & it's the sixth item in the left-hand column.
Both will disable the default iCloud save & still let you have access to iCloud if you want it.

Changing the default bookmarks save location

Heya,
If i right-click a website and click "Bookmark this page". It brings up the bookmark panel with the default folder "Bookmarks Menu" is there any way i can change this default ?
"I dont mind if it goes deep into the firefox:config, system or regedit as i am mostly computer savie :)"

''Changing the default bookmarks save location:''
You would do better clicking on the bookmark star on the Location Bar.
You can install "Add Bookmark Here2" and probably make modifications in the options.

Want to change the default save location- users have networked home dirs

I am doing some work for a school which is still using iMovie HD because it allows them to save their movie projects wherever they want. The issue is that iMovie 08 and 09 do not allow you to change the location in which they save their movies. Currently all users/students have network home folders, so their home directory, documents, etc all pull across the network. All students are limited to 1GB of space, and the system is an older G4 Server- 2GHz with 1GB of RAM and 2x 500GB hard drives. Since the students can make some large projects transferring that data back and forth can kill the server. Currently they are staying with iMovie HD so they can save it to the local hard drive, and when the student comes back in for class they sit at the same machine- thus giving them access to their stored movie files.
This summer they plan to upgrade both Xserves, but again internal storage in the Xserve is a joke and in my opinion not planned out properly. Which might require them to use one of the Apple Promise RAID units- major financial burden on a school.
I wanted to see if there was a way to change the default save location for iMovie 08 or 09 to the local storage rather then the "Home" folder for each user.
Thanks so much!

wrong info.
iM08/09 has a different file concept than iMHD6.
Both versions allow to store Events (=huge files) 'anywhere' to usb or firewire connected, hfs(+) formatted harddrives. the Project files (=small files) can be de-located from 'internal' drive with vers09, for 08 you have to use a socalled symLink to de-locate Project files.

Why did the default save location use the users appdata location and not create an Adobe Premiere Folder in documents.

I have a user that started working on a premiere pro project 2 weeks ago. She then received an update from adobe which she ran and the next day the premiere pro project she was working on was gone. After I looked at found that the save location was in the users AppData\Adobe\Premiere\6.0 folder (which was empty). I would first like to know why by default did it store the saves in the AppData folder? Why was the folder over written after the update?

Changing Airdrop Default Save Location

Hello All,
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Simple question...
There has to be a way to change the default save location of AirDrop. Has anyone stumbled across this?
~ lbcSSA

Hi Jeffrey,
your solution is nice for people who don't care about spoiling their system disk, which I agree must be numerous today.
But would you possibly have another suggestion to avoid documents sent via Airdrop to end up at all on the System disk ? I mean, just as one can do it for the Safari or Mail downloads, where you can define a default folder located on a different hard disk ? I'm with a MacPro, and System disk is intended only for... system, not files, so to avoid fragmentations issues from multiple erase actions of unnecessary files.
Is it possible that Apple writes "default folder" and forgot that "default" means one can opt for an alternative solution ??? Has Apple gone that un-professional ? Please tell me I've just missed a line somewhere... and that I don't have to rely once more on a third party app...
Cheers !

Changing the Default Save location in Cap4

I know its possible to change the publish folder (Edit > Preferences) but what about the default Save location? Any clue how to change that from My Documents?

Hi again
Ouch! Not the network!
One of the hard learned issues that folks are unaware of until they encounter problems is that Captivate does not do well when a project is stored on a network. It's fine to keep projects there in order to back them up or as a transfer pivot location to allow others to edit, but you never want to open Captivate, click File > Open and browse to a network location to open a project for editing.
Best practice at this point is to keep projects on your local C drive when you make edits.
Cheers... Rick

Set Default Save Location for All Programs

What I need is a program that will set the default save folder (in all programs) to the same folder the current file came from.
If I do a "Save As" I want the folder in the Save dialog box to always be the folder the file is in.
This was brain-dead easy in OS 9 (General Control Panel, Save Location, Folder That is Set by the Application).
I cannot find a help file, a preference pane, an add-on program, anything to allow this.
If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it.

Pre-configure save location for converting files to PDF from shell context menu

Hi all,
I like Acrobat's integration into the Windows Explorer through the shell context menu command "Convert to PDF", which allows me to drag select a number of files (word documents et cetera) to batch convert them into PDF. It beats doing batch processing fr the Acrobat interface.
However, it asks me for the save location of each file individually. I would like to have them saved in the same directory as the original file, as the default option so I won't have to attend to the conversion. I can't find such an option in Acrobat's preferences menu though
Any gurus or users here know of a way around that?
Regards,
Jay

Does your user have custom add-ons besides the Acrobat PDFMaker add-on? If so, try disabling the other add-ons as a test to see if you get the same results.
Does your user have a custom template? Try moving it out and using the standard MS Word template as test?
Did your user have a previous installation of Adobe Acrobat?? If so, check the Add-ons to see if an older version is still registered with MS Word.
