Save one set of preferences for home, one for office?

When I take my MBP to the office, I have a different monitor and a different mouse, so I change the Mouse (tracking speed) preferences and Display (resolutions) preferences every time I go to the office, and then change them back when I get home.
Is there some way I can save one entire set of Preferences for the Office, and one for Home, and then switch between them with just one click?
Also, is there some way the MBP can recognize when a different monitor is plugged in and always go to the preferred resolution for that monitor?

I'm not sure of whether these applications handle everything you want to control by location, but you might check the suggestion in the second message of this thread:

How do I set Premiere preferences for all users - University lab machine?

I am setting up an editing suite for our University which has a "per machine" Creative Cloud licence. It is a PC installation. This machine will be used by a class of students who will log in with their own credentials. I need to set the preferences for Premiere (video output, workspace layout, default drives etc) so that it will be the same for all users logging in since we want a consistent setup for teaching purposes and dont want to have to help each student set up so that it shows correctly on the monitors. Is there a way of saving this setting as the default for every user?
The most important one is the preferences - Playback in order to set up the second monitor.

Setting Default Preferences for All Users in Crystal Reports Server 2008 v1

We are currently looking to set the default preferences in the CMC for all of our users.
I did locate this page Link: [How to set default preferences for all users in Infoview 3.1/CRS 2008]
The first part of the thread did seem promising but I am unable to find the sample .jsp code that people recommended.
I would assume that this scenario is common enough that someone knows a way to set universal preference defaults.
Thank you

I thought I could just run it too but when I attempt to I get a Windows Script Host error:
Script: C:\User Prefs.vbs
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: Expected statement
Code: 800A0400
Source: Microsoft VBScript compilation error.
I noticed the first most line seems to be markup for a web interface though I am not familiar with vbs so I may be wrong. I used the publishing wizard to put the script on the CMC to attempt to run it through the CMC but it still does not work.

Setting software preference for file types

Hi all
Can someone please tell me how you set a preference for different file types? For example, I want all .avi files to play using VLC player and not Quicktime. However, my computer automatically wants to use Quicktime. How do I change this? I have looked in Preferences and couldn't see an option.
Thanks
Steven

Select an .avi file via the Finder and use Get Info for the file.
At Open With, select the VCL player and below "use this application to open all documents like this", select Change All.

Is there a way to set a preference for image resolution in PSE10?

Once I transfer image files from the camera to the Organizer (PSE10), they are listed in the information panel window as having a resolution of 180. I use the printer more than the internet for these files, so I really want the resolution to be 300 or above, and would like to set a preference to that effect. I know that I can resize them individually, or by a group, but I'd like to get the resolution set properly in the first place rather than adding yet antoher setp in my post processing efforts. I am assuming that the resolution is set by PSE10 because I can't find anywhere in the camera's (Canon Powershot SX40 HS) user manual that mentions that the camera sets a resolution. Is there some way that I can adjust the resolution that PSE10 assigns the images when they are imported into the Organizer? I'm using Windows 7 with 12GB Ram. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for the info. I certainly appreciate it. I’ve been looking everywhere I could think of for how the resolution gets to be 180, and couldn’t find it. I wish they’d have something in their manual about that. Your info helps tremendously. Thanks again..

OSX 10.7.4. will not save ANY of my preferences (system or application -- Safari, Office, etc.)

I am running System OSX 10.7.4 on three different MacBooks. It will not save any of my preferences (system or application based), passwords, log-ins and keychain. Even Safari did not save imported bookmarks. I am running Office For Mac 2011 (v 14.2.1) and Outlook will work for a day or two and then I get a rebuild database error message, losing everything. Word, et all, will not save any preferences, not even recent files.
I did a full erase and clean system reinstall and a fresh install of Office. This problem occurs on all 3 of my MacBook, 2- MacBook Pro’s and a MacAir. One of the MacBook Pro’s is BRAND NEW.
Any ideas, any fixes out there?

I have what seems to be a similar issue. Are you having other issues like mine?
Macbook air      11-inch, Late 2010
                        4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Software           Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
I have updated the latest combi update from the apple site and still have the same issue.
No matter what I try every time I restart my Mac all my preferences and applications reset. (Also preferences don't save when exiting the preference folder)
For example when in >system preferences>general -untick the 'restore windows when quitting and re-open apps' I exit preferences and then go back in to check it has automatically reticked the box.
I have deleted 2 applications several times (including removing the icon from the dock) and each time after restarting it shows a question mark on the dock where I had deleted it from.
On restart I loose downloads and history in safai.
On restart it re opens documents and applications I have quite even after unticking the restore applications on restart box (the one that comes up when shutting down or restarting)
I have been trying to solve this for a month now and it really is frustrating the **** out of me.
helpppp pleaseee...

How do I set a preference for opening one of multiple email accounts first?

I have multiple email accounts and prefer to open one of them first when I open the email app. After setup of all my email accounts the app is opening one of the accounts that is not my preference even though I setup my preferred account as the default. I've deleted all accounts and started over thinking that the order of the setup made a difference but it has not helped.
In particular I want an Exchange email account to open first and this account is not sync'ed with iTunes.
Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you,

The only way that you can do something even close to what you are trying to do is to back out of whatever you are in while using the mail app in order to get back to the main mail window that shows all of your inboxes and all of the different email accounts under the accounts heading. Then you could choose to use the Exchange account first from there.
You would have to do this every single time that you are done with mail and it isn't exactly what you are looking to do and it's hardly worth the time anyway.

How to set default preferences for an enterprise rollout installation?

How do I establish my own default skin, color scheme and canvas size for an enterprise-wide rollout of X2008 SP3?
I have found the Xcelsius.ini file in the root install directory (C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Xcelsius).
If I change the skin value in this file to Nova, Xcelsius correctly sets the skin to Nova when running the app. But it completely ignores my changes to width, height, and colorScheme.
Is there some other location where these preferences are stored?
Also, where are my custom color schemes stored? I would like to include those in my enterprise-wide rollout as well.
Thanks!
Chris

I found my own answer to this question. The only xcelsius.ini file that seems to matter is the one in the user's Application Data folder under C:\Documents and Settings. Also, any custom color schemes are stored there as well.
So for our enterprise-wide rollout, we will just place our versions of those files in that location.

So what is the Database setting in Preference for?

In the years of using Safari, in the Preferences it has settings for Database under Security tab. I've left it at the default 5mb. Whenever I clicked Show Database nothing was ever in there. But yesterday there were two items. I Removed them not paying any attention really. Then today another appeared named ourstage.com.
I've never been to that site or heard of it. So I went to it. Nope nothing I've ever been to.
So what is this database setting? Should I leave it active? What benefit does it do for Safari or me as a surfer?
Thanks
Using the latest Safari released, Version 5.0.3 (6533.19.4) and 10.5.6

Easy set up preferences for Canon Legria HV40

Dear all in Cyberspace,
I have a Canon Legria HD Video-recorder but I am having difficulty in choosing the correct preset for editing in Final Cut Pro 7. Does anyone know if I need to use "HDV 1080i50" or HDV 1080i60 either with or without "Firewire Basic" (I am using firewire but I don't know how basic it has to be!) or use HDV 1080p24 or any other preset eg from the plethora of PAL presets?
Cheers, Confused.

Most likely you need to use the 1080i50 preset if you're in Australia.

Livecycle connector for sharepoint Set Document Content for Office documents

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how the LiveCycle 9.5 connector for sharepoint works. It all works like a charm, exept for the set document content activity in a LiveCycle process.
When I have a file named test.txt on my Sharepoint server, and I execute the process with the "set document content" activity to replace the content with the content of the same test.txt files' content which I changed for the experiment, it gets updated without any problems.
Yet, when I have a file named test.docx on my Sharepoint server, and I try to replace the content with that of the content of the same test.docx file with altered content, the document content doesn't get updated to the new content.
Is there a certain configuration that I need to do, to make this work or is this a known issue of the connector?
Thanks in advance for your answer
Kind Regards,
Ronald Kamp
Junior Flex/Java/LiveCycle Consultant at iDA MediaFoundry.

Hi Ronald,
I could not get this reproduced at my end. We were successfully able to replace contents of a .docx file as well.
Can you please attach the livecycle process along with the thread in case issue has not yet been resolved at your side?
Thanks

Can I set a default Playback preference for multiple users on same PC?

I am setting up an editing suite for our University which has a "per machine" Creative Cloud licence. It is a PC installation. This machine will be used by a class of students who will log in with their own credentials. I need to set the preferences for Premiere (video output, workspace layout, default drives etc) so that it will be the same for all users logging in since we want a consistent setup for teaching purposes and dont want to have to help each student set up so that it shows correctly on the monitors. Is there a way of saving this setting as the default for every user? In particular, as we have dual monitors, we want to save the preferences - Playback to always appear on the second monitor. This is really important for us - I need an answer before building more suites.
(Adobe won't let me ask them directly, so I have to wait for someone to provide an anwser on the forums... not great customer support in my book)

Firstly...is this editing suite for the purpose of teaching editing or something else?
Next ...what is your experience with PPRo?
You can set up the machine(s) initially exactly how you want them in regards to hardware and screen layouts etc. Thats easy and can be called..'University of Waikato Default Edit Workspace' for example. That is only part of it though.
You can set up and share a common Key Board Short cut Preference File. Same as Export Presets.
There is no way you can "Default" all the USERS stuff for individual unique projects though without creating a massive potential for disaster and confusion.
Each will need to have access to many separate drive locations for their media (audio, graphics, footage) and the knowledge to create, access and locate it.
THey will each need a separate Location for their Projects as well as their media.
If they are editing students...they should be taught how to set up everything for themselves so they have an understanding of the fundamentals and basic s of NLEs

Setting Portlet Preference in Backing File for Clipper Portlet

Hi All,
I have a clipper portlet, and I am setting the preferences(for form based authentication & passing application data dynamically) in the backing file which is then associated to the Clipper portlet. I looked up at the clipper constants that are available; and the example they have given is
portlet.setPreference(LOGIN_FORM_EXTRA_PARAMS, "name1=value2&name3=value4")
My question is what is this "portlet"?? is it an instance?? then whose instance/object it is?? how am I suppose to declare it in my Backing File??
Any input on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
G

Hi,
I'm guessing here... but I think that the example is referring to a PortletPreferences object, which can be obtained through a PortletBackingContext with the getPortletPreferences() method. To obtain a PortletBackingContext you just use the static method PortletBackingContext.getPortletBackingContext() and pass in the request in the backing file. See also: Using the Preferences API to Access or Modify Preferences
Hope this helps,
Petri

How to set default path for file open in SQL Developer

Hi,
I am new to Oracle SQL Developer. Everytime when I open a file, it will default to the install directory. It is hurtingmy hand because I have to click back to the folder where I put my sql statements.
Is there any way to set the Home or Work button to point to the location I like? or add anther button to point to my folder? I just don't want to click 5 to 10 times to open a file.

There are a few things. One is that you can set a working directory for any files you run in the SQL Worksheet i.e. @myfile.sql will pick up this directory.
You can also set a preference for exporting files.
Also if you use File -> Open, it should remember where you were the last time, so you hunt the first time, then it remembers for the next time. There is a bug for ctrl-O that always goes back to the original directory, but that has been fixed for the next patch release, so ctrl -O will also remember where you were last.
The differences here are because we are dependent on the IDE from JDeveloper, and so we don't have full control over the Save and Open dialogs. We are aware of this frustration and are planning to change this for a future release.
Regards
Sue

Multiple Libraries: 2 sets of preferences?

When using multiple libraries, is it possible to have a set of preferences for each one? For example: I have an Apple Lossless library which contains all of my music and I’d like to create an AAC library for use with my Nano. When I create a new library and change the importing preferences to 256 AAC, those settings remain when I open my Apple Lossless library.

i got it. duh.
