Set different System Prefs for specific projects?

What I need to be able to do is to maintain everything about a client project in one place. We use a different drive for each client, that way everything is kept very orderly and we can easily manage it.
But if I set the system prefs (like where to save render files, capture scratch, etc.) for one project, those settings are saved even when another project is opened and I have to remember to change them or I'll get render files from Client A saved to Client B's drive.
And of course the problem is even worse with multiple projects open.
So, is there any way to say: Save Everything about this project HERE and Everything about this other project over HERE? And not have to manually change system prefs every single time?
Thanks!

I simply created three different users for three diffrent projects when specifically requested to meet such odd and onerous and unnecessary (in my view) requirements. That way each project could be assigned its own preferences for such things as targets for scratch etc. I find the FCP file management system more than adequate to quickly keep crucial original files in order without resorting to the log in/out user dance, but its the only thing I could come up with at the time. Maybe someone else has an easy cure.

  • Setting different sound alerts for specific email accounts?

    With the new Mail alert settings in IOS 5, it there a way to dedicate a specific New Mail sound alert to individual email accounts?
    I use my iPhone for both work and personal email and I'd like know when certain accounts get new mail so I don't have to keep constantly checking all accounts to find out which one was updated.
    Thanks

    This has been my bane for years with the iPhone. Unfortunately, despite the innovations of iOS5 and the 4s and despite the promises of the engineers and techs, as well as the hype and rumors, once again this simple and important feature, to my understanding, has been left out.
    This is frustrating at best. I have 11 email accounts and run 3 business from my phone. I am on the road constantly, this needs to be fixed immediately. Until it is addressed many people like myself are stuck using the inferior blackberry. I hate the blackberry and long for the iPhone but can't and will not move to the iPhone if it means that important emails are missed or that I'm constantly checking the phone for email. With an email volume of 100+ messages dailyboth personal and business I don't need to spend my life or time checking the phone to figure out what is being sent to what account.
    The solutions thus far have been to jailbreak the phone (don't recommend nor will I do this) or to download an app. Unfortunately the apps that will provide this feature, all require that the email be sent to a 3rd party (try and explaining that to corporate)

  • ChaRM - possible to have 2 different system landscapes in one project?

    Hi,
    can anyone tell me if it is possible to have 2 different system landscapes in one project. One landscape for developing and testing the Change Requests and another one for developing and testing the Bugfixes.
    Thanks,
    Martin

    As Rick, mentions, there's no default way.
    Having said that, there's nothing stopping you from doing it yourself. You can add a kind of language selector to the layout and set that for every html5 output. With some JavaScript, you can have the user switch between your outputs. It would look like content categories, but you'll have build it yourself.

    I'm experiencing a log in issue on my MBA since installing ML this morning. However, I am able to sign into iCloud via my iPhone, iPad and on the web without issue. This only occurs when I attempt to go into iCloud setting in system pref's... I have attempted to change my password and also reloaded iCloud. Neither of these actions resolved the issue. When I open iCloud preferences in system preferences on my Mac, it prompts me to enter my appleID and password. Once entered, it just hangs...
    What exactly did you do (verified your apple ID/iCloud but in a very difficult way)?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    In the Finder use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that appears when you do this.
    Navigate to Containers/com.apple.soagent/Data/Library/Preferences
    You will notice that many of the items are Aliases (to the Originals in ~/Library/Preferences).
    But there are exceptions.
    Delete (Drag to Trash)  the com.apple.soagent.plist and com.apple.messageshelper.AccountInfoController.plist
    Restart the Mac (I have not worked out is SOAgent launches when the Mac does).
    Restart Messages.
    If this does not work navigate to ~/Library/Preferences
    In here find and Delete com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist
    This will need a Restart of the app.
    You will be asked Again for your Apple ID

  • Set different authentication mode for OWA (without 2 ip address)

    hi
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/fda18a29-a484-4ed5-903b-aa06e8f7a032/set-different-authentication-mode-for-owa?forum=exchangesvrclients
    Step 1: IP Address
    Obtain a second IP address and add it to the NIC of your server.
    Step 2: DNS
    Add a DNS entry for That secondary IP address for the name we will want to use in the new FBA OWA Web site. I have chosen "testwebmail." Be sure there is a valid SSL certificate (recommended to have UC or SAN SSL certs) on the server Which has the
    new name "testwebmail" that will be used in the certificate.
    Step 3: New Web Site
    Create a new web site in IIS on the Client Access Server and bind it to the new IP address used in step 1.
    Step 4: Adding Exchange Virtual Directories
    The web site has been created and bound to the secondary IP address of our server. Also the DNS record That will be used to access the OWA FBA new page was added to DNS. The next step is to go into EMS and begin adding our virtual directories for OWA and ECP.
    Login to the Exchange server and open the Exchange Management Shell. Then run Get-Get-OWAVirtualDirectory and ECPVirtualDirectory to see the default OWA and ECP directories.
    New-OWAVirtualDirectory -WebSiteName FBA -InternalUrl https://url/owa
    New-ECPVirtualDirectory -WebSiteName FBA -InternalUrl https://url/ecp
    Step 5: Configure the Virtual Directories
    To configure the virtual directories we will disable FBA on the Default Web Site OWA and ECP virtual directories
    New-OWAVirtualDirectory -WebSiteName "FBA"
    Enable the Basic authentication via running the following command:
    Set-OWAVirtualDirectory -Identity "yourservername\owa (FBA)" -BasicAuthentication $true
    Set-OWAVirtualDirectory -Identity "OWA (Default Web Site)" -WindowsAuthentication $true -BasicAuthentication $false  -FormsBasedAuthentication $true
    Step 6: iisreset
    I want to set this settings; but I don't have 2 ip address and I want to set whit one ip address.
    can please tell me how can set this settings with one ip address?
    and please tell me about publishing whit tmg.
    thanks

    Hi,
    Based on my research on Host Header, it seems using Host Header can achive your goal.
    More details on Host Headers:
    1. Host headers let you assign more than one site to a
    single IP address on a Web server.
    2. To host more than one Web site on a Web server, you can assign a unique IP address to each Web site, designate a non-standard TCP port number for a Web site,
    or use host headers. Of the three methods, it is more common to use host headers than to assign unique IP addresses to Web sites or to use non-standard TCP port numbers.
    Configure a Host Header for a Web Site (IIS 7)
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753195(v=ws.10).aspx
    Please correct me if there is anything misunderstand.
    However, Microsoft recommends creating the second OWA/ECP virtual directories in a new IIS web site with a different IP address, and using it for internal client access.
    Thanks

    I'm not sure about the status of that bug in 2.2.5, but it has been
    resolved in our internal 2.3 builds.
    I think that you can work around this problem by enumerating your
    persistent types in system.prefs instead of in the data store. See our
    documentation for more information on how to do this.
    Basically, if I recall correctly, the problem is when retrieving the
    list, but not when connecting to the data store for other purposes.

  • System prefs for kids- Question

    I have just created a user account with parental settings for my young child learning to read/write. without giving his account admin privileges, can I, as admin, create specific system prefs like a larger pointer and slower mouse/trackpad settings that work only on his account? I don't want to have to constantly go in ad set them back after every time he uses the computer. If not, Is there a quick way to toggle on/off of universal access?

    thanks for the fast reply, however I am now experiencing even more problems.(not your fault, mine) It seems no matter how i set up the account ( simple finder or not) I cant block system prefs, and show the apps I want shown. Currently have prenatal monitoring on for the new(kids) account, and specified per the checkboxes what i want to give him access to. When i log out of my admin account and into his (Managed with parental controls) every thing is still accessible. I have also went into sys prefs and made sure that parental monitoring is turned on for that account. I never thought it would be so hard to do this

  • What is the Profile Drawer in Network System Prefs for?

    I'm struggling with my very illogical d-link DWL-G122. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... blah... Anyway, that's a different story. My question is, what is the Profile Drawer for in Network System Prefs? I can add my available wireless network, but it works even if it's not added. And why would I want to edit/activate/delete it etc? I've done a quick search and can't find any documentation to help me understand it. Can anyone help?
    THANKS!

    It's not really to add your network, it's to keep others out. If you have a neighbor with a strong signal you keep automatically switching to, you can eliminate that by using the list of preferred networks. Of course, if he has a reliable connection and you don't, that might not be desirable...

  • Setting different mouse speed for different mice

    I have an Apple Magic Mouse that I've used with my iMac for a while. I recently picked up a wireless Kensington laptop mouse for my 4 year-old twins to use because the Magic Mouse is difficult for my daughter to use. The Kensington mouse is good because it is smaller and has two obvious buttons for her to use.
    The problem is that the Kensington mouse tracks way faster than the Magic Mouse. Is there a way (either through preferences or third party software) to set a custom speed for each mouse?
    thanks!

    USB OverDrive can customize speeds and button behaviouir differently for different input devices. You should remove the Kensington mouse driver. However it does look as if it disables Apple's own Magic Mouse drivers without replacing some of the facilities, so you would need to research that before proceeding.
    Also note that USB OverDrive is so far not compatible with the Magic Trackpad, and prevents the latter's Prefs Pane from loading (thus preventing you setting gestures) so if you were thinking of getting a Magic TrackPad, USB Overdrive isn't a good purchase.

  • System.prefs -- FOR UPDATE clause

    When moving to a new mysql database, it gave me the error that it
    doesn't suppport the "FOR UPDATE" clause. Turns out the database was an
    older one. I tried to add the
         <mysql>
              <select-for-update>false</select-for-update>
         </mysql>
    section to system.prefs, but no matter where I put it, it had no effect.
    The documentation wasn't exactly clear where it goes. Now, I'm not
    using the default database -- I'm specifying a named database. I'm
    guessing that this option isn't working with named databases in the
    systems.prefs file. Could you clarify this?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Worked like a champ! Thanks again, Patrick.

    If you're using a named db, you should do
    <db>
    <your name here>
    <select-for-update>false</select-for-update>
    </your name here>
    </db>
    Note that turning off select for update is bad, because it essentially
    defeats pessimistic locking, and you probably shouldn't ever see an error if
    you aren't using pessimistic locking. So, I'd recommend that you use
    optimistic locking with old MySQL installs instead.
    Thanks,

  • How to set a proxy only for specific connection?

    Hi,
    I am trying to make an Http request through a proxy. So my code looks like:
        System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "myproxy.hello.net");
        System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "8080");However, I believe this setting is now valid for the entire JVM. I do not want my setting to affect other programs that are running in the same JVM. The program I am writting is a servlet. So by setting the system properties I am affecting all other servlets under the same web container.
    What I would like to know is whether there is a way to specify an http proxy to be used only for my connection.
    It seems strange if there is no way to do this. Doesn't this raise synchronization issues as well? What if another servlet is trying to change the same system property at the same time?
    Thanks in advance!

    I see that the trick using
    URL url = new URL("http", "myproxy.hello.net", 8080, "http://www.target.com:8000/");is not correct because it sends the proxy host as the Host HTTP header:
    Host: myproxy.hello.net
    instead of the final target. So it's very likely that the target or the proxy will get confused. Is there any other way of doing this?
    THanks

  • Can you turn Faces off for specific Projects?

    I do photography just for myself normally, and for my pictures I like to use Faces. However, I've also done some photography for groups. I don't want Faces to try and tag these people, because I don't even know them! Is there a way to turn Faces off for certain projects, but not turn it off totally?

    I have a similer thing since I use aperture for my work and for personal things. I use seperate libraries. Create a seperate library from the file menue. (File->switch library->other/new) make one for work (no faces) and one for personal (faces enabled) It's not as simple as setting it on or off for each project but it does work for me.

  • UITableView: set different background colors for header and the table

    I would like to set my background color for my UITableView to white and set my tableViewHeader backgroundColor to grayColor similar to the facebook app. When I bounce scroll my table so that you can see above the header, then currently it is white above the header view. I want that to be brown instead.
    In the facebook app, above the headerview, it is a blue color and below the table is a white color. If i try and set the UITableView backgroundColor to brown, then the top will be brown, but so will the bottom. Additionally, all of the unset cells will have a brown background instead of white.
    Any help with this?

    Fixed..
