Save Output to: setting not being saved

This has been driving me nuts for a couple of years, so I figured I'd finally ask if anyone else sees this behavior.
My script grabs a PDF and converts each page to new, separate, PDF files using a custom name and number. There are three components: Ask for Finder Items, PDF to Images, and Make Finder Item Names Sequential.
My problem appears in the PDF to Images part. I have the "Save Output to:" setting set to a folder ON my desktop (Outbox). Every time I open the script it has reverted to "Save Output to: Desktop". I can change it, run the script from within Automator, and it works fine. If I save it (or save-as), when I next open the script, it will have reverted to Desktop. I have tried every iteration I can think of to get it to remember to store the files in the correct folder, but it just won't save this setting.
I am in the habit of just opening the script first, and changing the setting, then running the script before I have closed it, so this is no big deal -- but it does make it two more steps, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of automator.

Understood, but you mentioned scripts and AppleScript is used extensively with workflows. If there aren't any in yours, then all I can suggest is peruse http://www.automatedworkflows.com/tips/podcast.html
Also, see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2039384 and Introduction to Automator tutorial at http://automator.us/leopard/video/index.html

Bpm setting not being saved

I have found that when opening previously saved multitrack sessions the bpm rate has not been saved (it reverts to whatever the setting was in the previously opened multitrack session.) Is this means of saving information adjustable? If so, how do I do it? If not, it means that I have to keep a record of this data elsewhere which is not very convenient.
Thanks.

Happy to be corrected but I think this was happening in CS5.5 but may have been fixed in CS6
What version of CS are you running?
Edit: I thought one of the devs may have mentioned this

Auto Login Setting Not Being Saved

I'm trying to enable auto login. When I go to sys prefs and set auto login to the userid I want and exit sys prefs then go back to sys prefs it is reset to the original user. Any ideas what is wrong?

Try to move this file on th desktop and restart :
youraccount/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systempreferences.xxx.plist
HD/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
If doesn't fix the problem , put them in their original place.

Why are my bookmarks not being saved locally if the save to cloud feature is disabled?

Why are my bookmarks not being saved locally on my ipad mini if the save to cloud feature is disabled?

They should be. If you have lost bookmarks try restarting Safari:
1. Press the Home button
2. Double click the Home button to bring up the "Recent Apps" tray.
3. Touch and hold on the Safari icon in the "Recent Apps" tray until a "-" appears.
4. Touch the "-" to terminate Safari.
5. Restart Safari and see if your Bookmarks are back.

NoViewOnDrive Setting not being honored in Common Save Dialog

To restrict access to my C: drive from users using the Common Open/Save dialog, I set the decimal value of the
NoViewOnDrives registry key to 4. This works well generally and if a user types in c:\ they get a message indicating that such access is redistricted. However, if they enter in c:\users\%username%, it brings them to their profile folder and
allows them to save (naturally as they have write access to their profile).
Q: Why is the NoViewOnDrives setting not being honored for C:\users\%username% yet it is for other paths such as C:\ and C:\users ?

Hi shocko,
Based on my test, the scenerio is as you stated. We can access the profile via inputing c:\users\%username%and can creare and save new file. Although you Prevent access to drives from My Computer, users still have right to save files to their
user profiles.
The easy way to prevent users to save data on a location is set folder redirection policy, redirect users’ desktop to a network share where users don’t have write permission.
Create a network share on your server, but don’t grant write permission for domain users group.
Hope this helps!

Lany Zhang

My history is not being saved. Yes, in preferences, I have selected save history [90 days]. I believe this happened with the recent new update?

Running firefox 3.6.11 on a Mac OS X, 10.5.8. My history is not being saved [or displayed]. Within preferences [privacy] I have selected to remember history for 90 days. No, private browsing is Not selected. When choosing "show all history" under toolbar, my history is empty. Does anyone know what's happening? This just began happening within the last week or so--which does coincide with a recent [automatic] firefox update.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Messages are not being saved on N96

On my N96 I have set save sent messages and receive report as 'yes' but after updating firmware (20.050) messages are not being saved.Is there any solution to someone.

I have exactly the same problem with my N95 but I can't really say when it started. Suddenly I just noticed my phone didn't save sent messages anymore and hadn't done it for some time, but can't really tell after what it started to occur. Really strange problem, not even reseting back to factory settings helped - after I put "receive report" option back it stops saving sent messages to sent folder. Actually if I go to "sent" folder quickly after sending the sms, it shows there for little moment before disappears. Really strange. I couldn't google any other information about this problem than this topic.

Table extension not being saved

Hi,
I have implemented Table extension at item level for SC and from the config perspective all looks fine.
1) Created Append struture with required fields
First step: appending the field to the correct structure in SE11 or via transaction SPRO.
Structure names for table extensions are according to the pattern:
INCL_EEW_PD_<x>_CST_<y> with
<x>: HEADER, ITEM
2)
Path in IMG (transaction SPRO):
SAP SRM -> SRM server ->
-> Cross-Application Basic Settings
-> Extensions and Field Control (Personalization)
-> Create Table Extensions and Supply with Data
-> Define Customer Table Extensions on Item Level
Second step: you additionally need to append the new table extension field to the
corresponding INCL_EEW_PD_<x>_CST structure called u2018cross-documentu2019 structure. This can
also be done in IMG
You can explicitly enter the very same field(s) (name and type) into both append structures.
It is recommended, however, to first create another structure with the new field (in SE11) and
then include that other structure in both append structures
(menu path in SE11 screen: -> Edit -> Include -> Insert).
Default append structure names in this example are
ZAINCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CST_SC and
ZAINCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CST
when using the IMG path..
3)
Third step: Set visibility of the table extension.Create an entry with TICUS for item data (THCUS for header data).
Donu2019t miss to populate the Transaction Type field - you could save the table entry without it,
but it will not work!
4)
Fourth step: Configure Control of Fields of Table Extensions. Create an entry with TICUS for item data (THCUS for header data).Donu2019t miss to populate the Set Level field - you could save the table entry without it, but it will not work!
Fifth step: Configure Control of Actions
Sixth (final) step: SM30 - maintain view /SAPSRM/V_MDFSBC_DEFAULT
I have rechecked the config several times but could not find any reason for the data not to be saved.
When I add the data to the table structure and if click enter or check button the data disappears. The entries are not captured in BBP_PDICF table either. i can see the Z structure in se11 for BBP_PDICF.
I have checked doc_change badi for any issues but could not find the issue. Any idea as where I should check for the data not being saved issue?

Hello Srinivas,
Please do this step:
In SM30-maintain view /SAPSRM/V_MDFSBC_DEFAULT
Object set type :TICUS
Structure field name : custom field
Object type : BUS2121
set level : item
Field visible : X
field enable : X

Flash CC crashes after publishing iOS app + publish settings are not being saved to file

I have two issues:
1. Flash CC crashes every time I publish an iOS app
2. My Publish Settings are not being saved
1. Flash CC crashes every time I publish an iOS app
Since yesterday Flash CC keeps crashing right after I publish an iOS app. The app is published correctly though. I tried everything from restarting my MAC, reinstalling Flash, removing the folder "Flash CC 2014" inside Application Support/Adobe. But all this did not work.
2. My Publish Settings are not being saved
Since the first day I installed Flash CC, it did not save my publish settings along with the .fla-file. I never had this issue with Flash CS 5.5. This was not a very big issue, but now every time I publish an app and Flash CC crashes I have to fill in all the publish settings manually. Now I'm getting frustrated. Even saving my settings as a preset, storing it inside a folder and importing it again, won't help. Then I will get the message: "Import failed: invalid profile file."
Can please anyone help me with these issues? It is quite time consuming to continuously enter the settings manually after every crash.
Thanks!

WRT160Nv3 port forwarding settings not being saved

Hello there.
I am using a WRT160Nv3 router and am having trouble getting port forwarding to work.
Specifically, my settings are not being saved properly.
I am trying to set up a server to run for Minecraft, and I have eliminated all issues save port forwarding.
I open up the router's settings by going to 10.10.10.1 in my browser. I go to "Single Port Forwarding." I then choose a blank spot on the left and label the application (in this case, Minecraft), then I type in the ports I want to forward (minecraft uses 25565). I check the box "Enabled." Then I go down to the "Save Settings" button below and click it.
This brings me to a mostly black screen with a white box in it, and big black letters saying "Settings are successful" and a button to click, labeled "continue." I click this, and it returns me to the last page I was on (Single Port Forwarding).
But here is the problem- that page is EXACTLY the same as when I began. None of what I typed in or changed is actually saved on the screen o_0
This definitely baffles me, as it seems as if I did nothing in first place. I use the program whose port I wanted to forward and it still doesn't work, the error messages being the same as always.
So what is the matter here? Why aren't my settings being saved properly? Do I need to get a new router-this one is only a year old...
Any ideas?
PS- I also tried to do port range forwarding, and the same thing happens there too.

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

File Options not being saved

I appologize if this is the wrong forum, but I did a search and failed to find a related subject.
When I click on File>Options then modify them the way I want to, then close Designer 2008 and reopen it, they're back to the default values.
How can I retain my options even after closing designer and reopenning?
Thanks much!

What version of Crystal are you using?
Are you a local PC Administrator also?
Try right clicking on the crw32.exe and selecting Run As Administrator and then change them.
Are you clicking the OK or Save button after making changes or simply closing the window using top right X button?
Those options are saved to the registry, only reason they are not being saved is you don't have permission or some anti-virus software or Restore Point is writing the original settings back when you close CR.
You may want to check with your IT people to see if they have pushed out some sort our Profile update that doesn't allow you to keep changes to the registry.
After making the changes and you create a new report do you see the changes? Don't close the designer.
Thank you
Don

Window preferences not being saved

Hi there -
Using InDesign CS4 on Windows XP. A few days ago a problem started happening - whenever I close InDesign, my preferences for which windows (Tools, Pages, Links, Character) I have open are not being saved. Takes me 3-4 minutes every time i open InDesign to put everything back the way it should be.
I've installed updates, no dice, and have deleted the preferences file as suggested by this thread:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
Any other steps I can take?
thanks in advance,
Andrew

Those things are saved as part of the workspace. It sounds as if the current workspace file has become corrupt. Close ID, then go to your user profile and you'll find the workspaces folder under \Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\<language>\Workspaces. Delete the "current" xml file for the workspace and restart ID. The workspace will be restored to the conditions set when it was saved, but hopefully will remember changes again when you close the program.

Sent or replied to emails are not being saved in mailbox

My sent emails or the replies to emails sent to me are not being saved in my mailbox. The "sent" box is empty. What is happening and where can I find a copy of the emails I sent and the replies I sent?
Thanks.

I am not sure why it's not enabled by default, but when you go in to your mail and you can see your inbox. look below your folders on the left hand side you'll see mail settings under general.
click it
and you'll see an option to save your sent messages.

My outgoing messages are not being saved in my sent folder

Half of my message that I try to send are not being saved in my sent folder. This is a huge problem causing lost documentation and copies of information and conversations I have had. The error message I get says that thunderbird was unable to save to my sent folder and asks if I would like to try again. If I say yes I get the same message over and over again until I give up and let the message be lost to cyberspace. What can I do to fix this issue and stop loosing valuable information for work?
I am using an HP laptop running windows 8.

What protocol is your email account using (POP or IMAP)?
If POP, you need to make sure your local disk space is enough to save the sent messages. Check where the copies are located by looking at the account settings under '''Copies & Folders'''. When using POP, I believe a copy needs to be saved on both sides: local and server.
If IMAP, the email server is where such copies are saved. You can also double-check such settings as mentioned above.
Finally, if your emails are too big, this may be a restriction of your email provider, perhaps get in touch with their support and inquire about this to rule it out as the cause of the problem. Could you share more details about the kind of emails that fail to have a local copy saved or is it for each and every email?
