Setting a default folder for exports

I am sure when I migrated from Snow Leopard to Lion that it asked me to set a default folder to save files and exports.
I set this to one I don't use and would like to amend it - how can I do this?

Besides the location for Downloads, there is nothing in the OS itself that will do that.
There is a third-party program called Default Folder which I think does something like that.

  • How do I set the default folder for file - open file... ?

    When I save a file, photo, etc., the default folder for OPENING a file becomes the last folder I SAVED to - even after closing and reopening Firefox. Is there a way to maintain the same default folder for opening files?
    Thanks.

  • How to set a default folder for Live Bookmarks ( instead of the bookmarks toolbar folder ) ?

    When I subscribe to a RSS feed, Live Bookmarks put these in the "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder by default.
    I'll like to change this default folder to another one into the bookmarks ( like the firefox : "Subcribed Feeds" folder )
    Thanks

    Hi Andrew
    The short answer is that I dont think you can change the default "browse folder". It will let the end users browse whatever folders they have the permission to view. But you can solve your problem in some other ways, like:
    1) Remove any permissions regarding the root folder for the end users. In this way they will not be able to browse it through the search component. Configure permissions for all other folders you dont want end users to access.
    2) Create a range of meaningful indexes and only let the user search the indexes (with a meaningful name), not the folders. If you like, you can hide the folder search option by adding &EnableSearchFromFolder=False to the KM search parameters (search the forum for more info).
    3) Give the users access to a simple KM navigation iview with a customized layoutset that only lets the end user browse the documents repository and contains a link to the UI command "search_from_here" which will "Opens a dialog box for searching within the current folder or subfolders" (taken from the description of the ui command).

  • Can I set a default folder for "save as"?

    Hello,
    I opened a pdf file attachment to an email by double-clicking it. When I wanted to save the file using File/Save As... , the folder/directory shown was the location where MS Outlook placed the attachment.
    I am using Acrobat Reader XI (latest version) on a Windows 7 64bit PC. I could not find any method to change this default behavior of Save As.
    Is it possible to change the behavior of the Save As function to use one or more of the following:
    a fixed user-defined folder/directory
    the last folder/directory used for the Save As dialog (which should be displayed with the full path) !
    the same location where the currently open file was opened (this is the current & only behavior)
    It would be most useful if the default  behavior could be selected among these options in the Edit/Preferences... dialog. Additionally, in the Save As dialog these same options should be displayed with the default selected, thus giving the user the ability to change the behavior for a specific Save As operation.
    If there is no way to do this (e.g.. with an "undocumented" feature or command-line switch), would Adobe consider implementing this?
    Thank you!

    apparently Adobe doesn't give a sh!t about it's users. The possibility to change default behaviour has been removed with the introduction of version 10 and hasn't come back since. For over 3 years people are complaining about this on the forum and are being offered poor workarounds (create a shortcut in your temp folder pointing to your desktop? for fck sake!)
    Adobe employees will tell you 'default system behaviour' ******** and basicly tell u to go finger ur bu.thole.
    I use to buy their products (adobe creative suite) but the fact they don't give 2 sh!ts about their customers made me pick another vendor.
    Best solution i can offer u is just use ANY of the 10.000 other freeware utilities that do offer the basic functionality u'd expect.

  • How to Change Outlook Default Folder for Insert-Attachment and Save Email/Attachemnt while Outlook is open (VBA)

    Hello,
    Office 2010 32bit, VBA
    Is it possible to programmatically do the above while Outlook is running?  If so, I'm hoping to make that change from a Word macro.
    I tried tinkering with the reg key and that doesn't work because it appears Outlook only respects it at startup time. Similary changing Word File-options-location of documents is respected only when Outlook starts.
    I'm looking to seamlessly keep Outlook's default folder in sync with Word's default folder as the users change working folders in Word, which they do many times per day (and they chose the folder among a couple of thousand possibilities).
    I'm hoping there is a difficult-to-find Outlook object I can manipuate to get to the end result.  IF there is such an Object I have been unable to find it.
    Many thanks!
    Julie

    Hi Julie,
    Based on my research, I think outlook object model doesn’t provide the way to change the default folder for insert attachment and save email/attachment.
    The way to change it is that we need to modify the registry setting and the outlook app should be restart.

  • How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    Hi Ed
    Thank you for contacting me, however I already know how to save text to
    audio files via timeline using the Export feature.
    So my question was not entirely clear and I apologize for that.  To explain
    further, whenever I save a text to audio file, captivate takes me to a
    default save as folder where I then have browse back to my production
    folder where I am keeping all my Txt to Aud files.  This is very tedious
    process when you have alot of files to save.  So my question was is there a
    way to configure captivate so I can make my production folder the default
    file for whenever I save a Txt to Audio file through Export feature that
    the system automatically takes me to that production folder, and I am
    spared the long tedious process of saving the file manually to the
    prodcution folder I want.
    I have copy the pathway to the production folder in the URL filed in the
    Save As dialoge box and that workaround as cut the work down but I still
    have to paste that URL field to point the file to the right folder. So it
    would be nice if I could do everything automatically.  Microsoft makes this
    capability in their MS Office applications, so I was thinking Adobe might
    do the same thing.  Your help with this would be appreicated,
    Thanks

  • Setting the default format when exporting to spreadsheet

    Can I set the default format to be used when my end users export a report to a spreadsheet? I would like to set the default to Excel (in Office 2003 XML format).
    Currently the end user has 7 choices for creating spreadsheets if the selecte the "All Available Formats" option when generating a spreadsheet. Those options are:
    - Excel (in MHTML format)
    - Excel (in MHTML format for 2000/97)
    - Star Office 8
    - Excel (in Office 2003 XML format)
    - SAP internal XML format
    - SAP Standard (internal table)
    - Excel (in previous XXL format)
    I ran the report SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN and selected the following criteria:
    1.) Action = create
    2.) General Data = ALL
    3.) ALV GUI / EXCEL VERSION = Excel (in Office 2003 XML format)
    If I examine the table SALV_BS_ADMIN there is a new entry where:
    OBJECT = GUI_ALV_XML_VER
    M_USER = *
    VALUE = 04
    When I run a report and export to a spreadsheet I do not see any change in my selection criteria.
    I read SAP note 1080608. This note tells you that by running the report SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN you cannot set the default value. Is there a report I can run that will set the default value for alll the users on the system?

    Hi
    You execute the report SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN and selected the following criteria:
    1.) Action = change
    2.) General Data = Detailed Selection
         a) Client = SAP client no.
         b) User All = User ID
    3.) ALV GUI / EXCEL VERSION = Excel (in Office 2003 XML format)
    Execute the report and Excel 2003 will be defaulted in export to excel.

  • SRM 4.0- How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC

    The radio button “Service” should not be visible.
    Also for search help (e.g. search for internal products) where a search should only be possible for product type 01 (goods). The system should not display the product type and internally always search for goods only.
    How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC
    We needs to use Search help BBPH_PRODUCT which having parameter PRODUCT_TYPE
    Here we can set defalut value 01 but it is not correct one since same search help is using several places.
    We need to limit the search help results only for SC.
    Kindly help out me ASAP.

    The easiest way to set defautl values is to edit the batch class.
    Goto the characteiristic and go to update values.
    In here you probably have something like 0 - 100 as a spec range.
    On the next line enter the default value within this range.  At the end of the line, click in the box in the column labelled "D".  This indicates the defautl value for the characteristic.
    If you need to you can do this in the material classification view as well.
    Just to be clear, these values will only show up in the batch record.  You can not have defautl values in resutls recording screens.

  • How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat.  All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

    How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat.  All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.  I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting.  I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened.  Can I set this as a default view?

    Hey Kris,
    You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
    Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
    Try this and then let me know.

  • Set a Default Calendar for New Appointments in iCal?

    I never found a post with a sufficient answer to this question. However, it seems as though I may have stumbled on a resolution myself.
    iCal has it's own default calendars: Home and Work. I use MobileMe so the MoblieMe calendar is listed there as well. I also have an iPhone 4. I wanted all calendars to syncronize automatically when I create a new appointment on any of the 3 locations (laptop, cloud, or phone). I found that when create a new event in iCal on my macbook pro, it wouldn't update with mobileme or my phone. This was because when I double click to create a new event, iCal automatically puts the new event into my "Home" calendar, even though it was unchecked and not highlighted. As soon as I double click to create the new event, iCal's default kicks in and the Home calendar in the "On My Mac" section suddenly becomes checked and highlighted all by itself and the new event is automatically placed there, never to be updated with the cloud or on my phone.
    I think the problem may be related to something I read under "How Do I Set a Default Calendar for New Appointments in iCal?" There a solution given was that the uppermost calendar was being defaulted to and it was suggested to drag the desired calendar to the uppermost position. None of my calendars would drag anywhere. However, I find that if I uncheck Home and Work in the column on the left under "On My Mac" AND then click the arrow so those two calendars are hidden (very important), and then check and highlight the only showing calendar: MobileMe, that (so far) when I doulbe click to create a new event, a new event is created in the MobileMe calendar, and Home and/or Work under the "On My Mac" section never becomes checked or highlighted. So the new event is created only in the MobileMe calendar listed and updates on my laptop, in the cloud, and on my phone.
    So far that has been my experience; but, it has been only minutes since I tried that, so let's see what happens after a couple of weeks or so of normal use and see if the problem is actually resolved.

    I have been searching for this information for weeks now -- thank you!
    This works for Google Calendar as well as for Mobile Me. I'm going to type a little more information here to see if I can help this answer come up more quickly for other users when they keyword search as I was doing.
    This answer helped me reset and change the default calendar for iCal. I can now set my Google Calendar as the default calendar in iCal. When I create a new event in iCal, it syncs to Google Calendar as the default calendar without having to choose another calendar. All my iCal new events now go directly to Google Calendar and sync to my iPhone and iPad. I couldn't move the gmail google calendar to the top position, and just unchecking Home and Work didn't change where new events defaulted. Now my new events automatically go from iCal to google calendar, and I don't lose track of any events. I think you can set any calendar as the default iCal calendar for new events using this approach.

  • Set a default layout for all users via DIAPI

    Hello everyone,
    I am attempting to set a default report for all users/business partners using the DI-API. 
    I can accomplish this in the B1 application via Tools> Layout Designer...>Set as Default
    If there are entries in the RDFL table for this layout, I am prompted to delete these entries and set this layout as the default for all users/BP's
    Based on the SDK Documentation, the following code should accomplish the same thing via the DI-API
    (stripped down for clarity)
    Dim oDefaultReportParams As DefaultReportParams
    oDefaultReportParams = oLayoutService.GetDataInterface(ReportLayoutsServiceDataInterfaces.rlsdiDefaultReportParams)
    oDefaultReportParams.LayoutCode = sMyLayoutCode
    oDefaultReportParams.ReportCode = sMyReportCode
    Me.oLayoutService.SetDefaultReport(oDefaultReportParams)
    Code executes fine, but it doesn't have the expected impact on settings.  The above code adds an entry to the RDFL table rather than changing the DfltReport field in the RTYP table like I expected, so instead of setting the default report globally for all bps/users, its adding an entry to the RDFL table to set the value for a specific user/bp
    I experimented by including and setting the following properties to every combination I could think of with the same results
            oDefaultReportParams.UserID = 'tried 1, 0, -1
            oDefaultReportParams.CardCode = 'tried "", "0", "-1"
    Am I misunderstanding the API, or using the wrong objects/calls...? If all else fails I could accomplish this via the UI-API instead, but the application was intended to be a stand alone app that didn't rely on SAP B1 application running, so any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Please repost at SDK forum to get quick response. Close this thread here with helpful answer.
    Thanks.
