Set Default "Save As" Path When Launching
Hello,
Is it possible to pass command-line arguments to Reader (and what are the options)? I cannot seem to find documentation on this.
Specifically, I would like to open a document, in Reader, from an external process, with the 'Save As' option pointing to a folder different that the one the document resides in. The document resides in a temporary folder. If the user wishes to save it to disk using "Save As", it defaults to the external process' temp folder. Users tend to just want to save it there, and it gets cleaned up when by the external application. This makes my users grumpy.
Thus, if I could launch the process with an argument that points the working directory to something other than the directory the document resides in, that would be cool.
Thanks.

Getting application path when launching a Jar
Hi,
very simple
how do you get the application path when launching a jar file?
NNiolUnless you mean the standard application folder. That application path is an OS specific concept. On Windows systems, for example, you can get the application path by using System.getenv("ProgramFiles"); but that won't work on other systems.
If you're looking for a constant location to store data files, you'd do better to create an application-specific directory under System.getProperty("user.home");.
And if you're just looking for the place where your jar file is, you can successfully follow the previously given advice.

Screen saver fails immediately when launched. Anyone know what the porblem is?

Hey Kce919,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. The next step may be to force close the iTunes application:
iOS: Force an app to close

Before reopening, it may be a good step to sign out of the iTunes & App Store via Settings:

If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes. Please be sure to backup your iPhone first.

How do you change the default save as directory when saving a PDF file to your hard drive?
This is the on-line help instructions on this site:
Downloading a PDF file to your hard drive
You can download a PDF file to the hard drive from a web page's link. Downloading PDF files doesn't require the ActiveX plug-in file to be installed. (If you want to open and view the PDF file after downloading it, you must have Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or Acrobat Reader installed.)
To download a PDF file from a link:
1. Right-click the link to a PDF file, and then choose Save Target As from the pop-up menu.
2. In the Save As dialog box, select a location on your hard drive, and then click Save.
My issue: I want to save several pdf files (from the Adobe Reader in my browser) one at a time and each time it defaults the save as directory to the desktop and I have to go looking for the directory I last saved a pdf file in. I got lots of directories and I wish I could change the default setting for the save as directory. Just a minor thing but irritating as other programs usually will allow you to switch the default save as directory to one of your choosing.There is not a way to set the default location from all the forums i searched in the last couple days.

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.Hi,

How do you set default save file type
My Photoshop when I choose save as is choosing TIF as the default file type after opening a raw file. I want to choose PSD as the default. I cannot figure out how to change the setting to raw.
Hi, Unfortunately, Photoshop will chose a format that fits the minimal requirements of a file according to the absence/presence of layers.
You could go to the feedback website, http://feedback.photoshop.com and ask for a preference to set the default file type. -
Setting a Save As Path in Acrobat 8
Hello All,
I have looked for an answer to this but can't seem to find what I am looking for.
Our office is looking for a way to streamline our printing to PDF. What I want, is for Acrobat to start my users in a specific directory when they do a print to PDF. That way they can give it a file name but don't have to navigate the directory tree to get to the correct directory.
I have found a setting in the driver that controls the PDF Output Folder but I only can:
a. Specify the directory where it saves to without prompting for a file name.
or
b. Set it to "Prompt for Adobe PDF File Name" but it starts me in a temp directory and I have to navigate our directory tree to get to the right folder.
Can someone help me with this? Is there a way to do what I want?
Thanks,
Daniel JoaquinThe only way I've found to control the path is to open Acrobat by double-clicking a PDF in the location where I want all subsequent files to be created. Any PDFs written to file will automatically point to that original location.

Any way to set default Save Settings? Fireworks CS3
Everytime I scan a picture and hit "Save As", then default
file type to save is JPG and at 48%.
Can I set the default to be PNG in the dropdown?
Thanks!

Actually, the plain PNG file format is a pure raster/bitmap
image
format. The vectors in Fireworks were added to the
proprietary data
chunk that can be added to a PNG file. There's no intrinsic
vector
support in the PNG format. The open vector format for the Web
was
supposed to be the SVG format which still has little to no
support.

The advantages of the PNG format as an end format for Web
sites are
still as real as ever: being able to embed a color profile,
full alpha
transparency, adaptive lossless compression that handles what
GIF and
JPGs traditionally did equally well in one file at usually
smaller sizes
than either of them. All of that still holds true more than
ever,
especially now that IE7 finally handles transparency. But
none of that
is even remotely relevant to Fireworks.
It's that use of the format as a native editable format I
question and I
still think it was a bad idea if only for how confusing it is
for new users.

Browser support and usage as a native file format within a
graphics
application are two non-related and completely different
things. The
browser limitations of PNG never affected its behavior within
Fireworks
where it matters to Fireworks users. Being able to preview
one's native
file in a browser is only a marginally useful side-effect of
using the
PNG format and the only one anyone seems to be able to come
up with.
No one expects a PSD or an AI file to be preview-able in a
browser. Why
would that be so important for Fireworks? The PNG format
might be open
but the proprietary data Fireworks uses to save its native
data is not.
Again, what's the point? What's the advantage? Where's the
brilliance?
You would not use a native FW PNG file on a Web site or a
Flex app that
is bloated Hey! I can see what my site comp looks like in my
browser.
Big deal...by Fireworks' proprietary data. You would use an
exported
one. What's the big deal with Fireworks using the PNG file
format for
its native files then? What is the advantage over an entirely
proprietary format like PSD, AI or INDD? To me, there is
none. The only
"open" part of the PNGs Fireworks saves is the bitmap preview
part. The
rest is a closed proprietary format just like a PSD or AI
file. But wow!
I can see what my native FW file looks like in my browser!
Big deal...
Sorry for the sarcasm but when people are loosing work I have
to
question why the choice was made to use the same format and
file
extension for a graphic app's editable files as one of its
main flattened
exported ones. I see none, none whatsoever. What is really
worth it
then? Not to me, not by any stretch of the imagination.

Setting default save file in JFileChooser
Is there a way to set a default file name for the save dialog created by
JFileChooser.showSaveDialog(null);in order to save the user needing to type something every time?
Thanks.Exactly
Java keeps ramming classes into the jre that are useful in only a very limited context. At the same time, they can't give us a filedialog that adds the extension onto the returned file... This is something everyone wants, but unfortunately is'nt part of Java. I'm frustrated by it as well (if you can't tell) -
Set default save for documents to Full Size
My Acrobat 9 Standard got reset to save my documents at 10%, I need to save them at 100% without resaving every document under Save as.
No. You can't pre-fill the Save As dialog. What you can do is offer the new
name in a prompt window just before the file is saved, or you can use a
script that automatically saves the file under the new name (this requires
the script to be installed on the local machine, not just to be embedded in
the PDF file). -
SBS 2011 GPO for changing the default save path applying to Win7 but 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.
Thanks in advance.When a group policy is not applying, it is often that it has been linked to the wrong OU. Please first check this.
You might also check the apply status on the client site based on the GPSVC.log.

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:

How To Set Third Party Media App Is Default When Launched From Default File Manager
I use rock media player, which can encode & decode The Video and audio files i use, unlike the phone i have, i don't receive the option to set the app as the default media player. I would really like to be able to use this app on the thrive as it is some much a better media player than the thrives defaulty app. Rock player is the name of the app, who do set it as the default player when launched from the default file manager.
From my experience playing with the Thrive, when you attempt to watch a media file, it will open a menu asking you what application to use. From that popup, you can set a default.

''Firefox 4.0 has a new feature that automatically saves your tabs when you close Firefox.''
Its seems that for many people, this feature was not enabled automatically, instead it is set on a different setting of 'show my homepage' or 'show a blank page'. But it is very easy to change, I just did it myself! Here is how to do it:
At the top left of the screen is an orange 'Firefox' box, click on it. On the right of the dropdown menu you will see 'Options'. Click on it. Then you will see another 'Options', click on it. This will bring up the Options menu.
The part we are interested in for this fix is where it says, 'When FireFox starts:'. There is a dropdown selection next to that sentance, click on the little down-arrow, and choose ' Show my windows and tabs from last time'. Then click on 'OK' at the bottom of the Options menu, this will close the menu.
You should be sorted now, I was. I hope it works for you too. To test it out, have a few tabs open, and close firefox. Then try open it. Those same tabs should re-appear. Holding thumbs & fingers crossed :)
