Set as default tab doesn't save

Because it shows the name of the last poster, I would prefer to have Overview as the default view for forums I visit. (I would hope that the names of the OP and last poster will be reinstated as soon as possible for all page views. As many others have already mentioned, this is very useful information to have.)
For some reason, only in 10.4 Tiger does Overview remain as the default. (And, I don't remember even having to use Set as default tab for the Tiger forum to remain in Overview. It has just always appeared that way.) With any of the other forums I frequent, even if I click on Set as default tab for Overview, if I leave that forum and return it always reverts to Discussions view. It doesn't save that view.
In addition, Set as default tab doesn't even appear as an option for several of the forums I visit.
Is this a bug, or do I need to know something about making the save work?
Unless it's some setting I'm missing on the Personalize/Widgets page, I don't see anything I can use there. I already have browser bookmarks for any of the forums I visit.

But, for example, neither in Tiger nor iTunes, did I set Overview as the default. They appear that way without having done anything. And thanks for the clarification on points.
Before setting to Overview, Set as default is available:
After setting to Overview, Set as default is now missing and I can not make Overview the default. Something I'm not getting?

  • Setting a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box

    I know this is an unusual question, but I do a lot of file-naming at work with Adobe Standard and it would help me if I could set a default location of the 'Save As' dialog box -- say, by dragging it to the corner of the screen so that the next time Adobe opens, the 'Save As' box will open in that location (rather than in the center by default).
    By this, I don't mean setting a location for one session, which it does automatically, but rather setting an initial location for when Acrobat starts up.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Set default filename for file save dialog on Save button click

    Hi,
    I am using AxAcroPDF (version 9.0) control to view pdf files in windows forms (C#). The pdf loads into the viewer in the form. Now, when I click on the Save button in the viewer, a Save dialog pops up with a default filename having complete path info.
    If I have loaded the pdf file into AxAcroPDF viewer with filename:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\KB_Kravi\My Documents\CustomerList.pdf"
    then in the save dialog, the default filename will be:
    "C_Documents_and_Settings_KB_Kravi_My Documents_CustomerList.pdf"
    Is there any option to set the default filename in the save dialog to some short name, instead of this lengthy name?
    Thanks,
    Ravi.

  • Set Default Tab For A Step

    We have a system that has been installed at a couple of affiliate sites in Japan and Romania (we've been developing in Australia).  It runs on TestStand 4.2 with supporting code written in LabVIEW 8.6 (although the Romanian site uses TS4.2.1 and LV2010).  We have numerous custom steps in a types palette file.
    One of the sites has complained that when they add some specific steps (custom Numeric Limit Tests, in particular) to a sequence, the tab shown in the Step Settings pane is the "Limits" tab.  It would be more convenient and more useful to show the Edit tab (the one that shows the buttons for the Edit sub-steps).
    I realise it's just a matter of clicking on the relevant tab.  I also realise that once a file is saved, the last-selected tab is shown for each step when it's re-opened.  However, the customer is always right, so I need to see if it can be "fixed".
    Is there a way of setting the default tab for a custom Numeric Limit Test step to something other than the "Limits" tab?
    Help files, Google and the NI pages don't seem to be forthcoming on this issue.
    Thanks,

  • In an Excel template file, can I set the Folder Path in the SaveAs Dialog box?

    I have an Excel template file (xltm) and, with help from the forum, I now have a Workbook_BeforeSave subroutine to save the template as a macro enabled file (xlsm).  I’m so thankful for that help from Edward in the forum.
    I also want to set the default folder location to save the file. I really only need it when the template is saved as a new xlsm file, because if they open the xlsm file, it’s usually opened from the default folder path so any save would normally go back
    to where the file was opened.  However, with a template (even if the template is in the default folder) the Saved template reverts back to the user’s documents folder.
    Is there a good way to do this?
    I tried to modify the Workbook_BeforeSave code like this:
    Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
    Dim FolderDir As String
    Dim FileNameVal As String
    FolderDir = "Z:\save\data\place\"
    If SaveAsUI Then
    If Dir(WorkBookFolder, vbDirectory) <> "" Then
    Application.DefaultFilePath = WorkBookFolder
    End If
    FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(, "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")
    Cancel = True
    If FileNameVal = "False" Then 'User pressed cancel
    Exit Sub
    End If
    ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FileNameVal & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    End If
    End Sub
    But there are a lot of checks that would need to be done.
    I'm not sure how to only default the folder saved only when they open the template, but not change it when they just open an already saved Excel file created by the template (with all the active content, macros, etc.).
    Alan Edwards

    Hi Alan,
    store the path\filename in the 1st argument:
    FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("C:\*.xlsm", "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")

  • Default tab in sapscript

    Hi ABAP Gurus,
    How do you set the default tab in SAPSCRIPT? 
    I need to put a tab prior to the item text (or to this statement):
    /: INCLUDE &RT_NAME& OBJECT EKPO ID F01 LANGUAGE EN
    I went to SE71>header>basic settings
    then i added a certain value at "Tab Stop";  Unfortunately, when i tested the form. The "tab" was not implemented. 
    Thanks in advance.  Points will be given...
    Best Regards.
    Brando

    Hi,
    You can put the Default paragraph fprmat in the SAPSCRIPT, then inside the paragraph format, maintain the TAB so that this will become defalut TAN for that SAPSCRIPT

  • Firefox doesn't display bookmarks in the sidebar, only in the menu bookmark. It doesn't display bookmarks in the "organize" bookmarks. It doesn't save tabs on exit. Problem began with 3.6.6

    FF 3.6.6 doesn't display bookmarks in sidebar, but a search in the sidebar shows they are still there. It does display them from the menu bar. It doesn't display bookmarks in the "organize bookmark" display. It doesn't save tabs on exit. Doesn't save browser screen size.

    With so many issues with your current profile it would be better to try a new profile.
    Be careful with what you copy to that new profile and it sounds that at least you have problem with places.sqlite and maybe prefs.js and localstore.rdf as well.
    First test that new profile without copying files and installing extensions.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting|#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • How do I set a default Finder to include the Tabs I want?

    When I reboot, or even when I click Command+N for a new Finder window, I have to set up my Tabs again.  How can I set a default?

    Command-N calls up a new window or tab, it doesn't call up old windows and tabs.
    Better: Instead of closing your Finder window when you know you'll want it back again, minimize it to the Dock (command-M) to move it out of the way.
    To get your Finder back after shut down or restart, go to System Preferences > General and uncheck the box, 'Close windows when quitting an application.' Also, after you select Shut Down... or Restart..., make sure that the box, 'Reopen windows when logging back in' is checked...

  • Default tab set as the one clicked

    I'll try to explain this the best way I can.
    My setup is a customized version of the SpryTabbedPanels and
    placed in Tab 0's content is a Login form and a Sign Up form in Tab
    1. I was wondering, is there a way to make it so when a form's data
    is posted and refreshed, the tab that was selected by the user
    becomes the default?
    So lets say the var tpl states defaultTab:0 when you first
    load the page but the user goes to Tab 1 and signs up. When they
    hit Submit and the data is posted, is it possible to make Tab 1 the
    tab that stays selected after the page refreshes? I was thinking
    maybe if some type of link was set to each tab to make it come up
    like #0 or #1 and you go to www.test.com/#1 it'd show Tab 1 and if
    you go to www.test.com/#0 it'd show Tab 0.
    Is any of this possible or if you need anymore clarification
    (I'm sure its hard to understand haha, I tried my best), please let
    me know.
    Thanks for any help, I appreciate it :)

    Hello Indecision,
    In Spry 1.5 that can be previewed here:
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/preview/
    we added support for AJAX form submission. So my question is why
    would you want to reload the page with the correct tab set instead
    of using this feature that will allow you to not reload the page?
    There are two possible solution to the exact use case you
    describe here but both require some custom code:
    1. Save the current Tab opened into a cookie and on loading
    restore the value from the cookie.
    2. Parse the URL using the document.location.replace() and
    extract the value from after the page loaded and set the correct
    tab.

  • Can I set the default save location in text edit to dropbox?

    I'm happy with dropbox for now and want to set the default save folder to a dropbox folder but I cannot see how to do this.
    Can it be done? Or do I need a 3 party text editor?
    Thanks
    Tom

    You cannot. Because this option both takes much longer and reduces the quality of files, it has to be chosen specifically.
    In any case, when you save a PDF file from Word. this process does not involve Acrobat or Adobe software in any way.

    On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
    I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
    I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?
