Setting default for scanned photos

I have a Canon LiDe 90 scanner,...I scan photos and save them as a jpg file, but the default program for all the files are either preview or Photoshop. I'm looking for a way to select all the files and set them to iPhoto. I can do them one at a time, but it's a pain,...Option click the photo, select Info, select program drop down,...then find iPhoto and clcik OK,....takes way too long! - D

The catch is that Preview is a photo viewer, photoshop is a photo editor and iPhoto is a photo organiser - and that's a key difference. You can't set iPhoto as a viewer or editor (though it can do both) because first and foremost it's a database, and as such the data needs to be imported.
So, now the question becomes how to get these pics into iPhoto. Where are they when you try to import? Will dropping them on the iPhoto Window or iPhoto icon on the dock work?

  • Process open items: how to set defaults for the additional selections

    Hi FI experts,
    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to set defaults for the additional selections in the processing of open items.
    I am using transaction F-04 (or F-06 or F-07) to post with clearing.
    When processing the open items I can use additional selection parameters. In my case I need to use the document type.  I would like to save this selection as a default but this doesn't seem to be possible.
    1. it is not possible to save a variant for the processing of open items
    2. I can not create a variant transaction (with trx. SHD0) for F-0x since this is only possible for dialog transactions
    Do you see another way to store defaults for the additional selections in open item processing?
    Thanks a lot.
    Dimitri

    Hi,
    When you create a transaction variant from FB05, then also you will not able to default the value for additional selections variable.  Hence SHD0 is not going to help.
    As said above, either you can change the additional selection screen parameters, but here again you can't default the value.  You can only reduce the number of entries on the screen.
    Else you can create a custom transaction code by copying the standard.  Even SAP recommends to create custom codes from standard tcode for clearing purposes depending on requirements. 
    Please check this link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/EN/41/37b8e7455b11d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
    In the above link, in navigation choose clearing -- Specifications for processing open items
    If it is a custom transaction then you can default document number.

  • Set defaults for contacts

    HI,
    Can anyone tell me how to set the defaults for the contacts.  Right now when I save a number in the contacts it is automatically set as a "work" number.  I want it to automatically be a mobile number.  This will save a lot of cut and pasting.  Thanks.

    Generally pleased with my new N96 which replaces my ageing N95 but i have noticed two bugs. I am using a simfree, nokia shop purchased N96 update to SW v11.101.098.1.
    BUG 1: I've imported my contacts from my N95 and i cannot set defaults for email addresses or numbers. When the defaults option is selected from the menu in contacts the conacts application immediatley closes and i am returned to the front screen. Defaults for contacts i've created on the N96 can have there defaults set but defaults cannot be set for contacts imported using PC Suite or the phones sync utility. Also, for imported contacts the ringtone is the default nokia tune and not the tone defined in the contact or in my active profile. Again only imported contacts show this glitch with a contact created on the N96 working as expected. The default ringtone issue seems to be a common one on the forum maybe this is a connection.
    BUG 2: The phone freezes if you try to resume playback of a video file whilst using a bluetooth headset (in my case a nokia BH-500). With the phone connected to the BH-500 you can play a video file from the start but when promted to continue the latest played file from last position its 'take the battery out time' when the phone locks up.
    Any user got any thoughts on these anomolies??

    Hello, i have the 11.101 version and I imported all my contacts via PC suite and I CAN use the defaults option and the ringtone can be anything I want (apart for video ringtones-they don't work).

  • Setting Defaults for Essbase 6.1

    How do you set defaults for the options/global/mouse-actions?Presently, we have to disable the mouse-actions every time we enter Excel. Essbase is overwriting the mouse-actions with Essbase functions every time we enter Excel (it does not save our changes when we exit Excel). We have also tried to work in Essbase with the preferred default settings but this has not helped either.

    Is your Essbase.ini file read-only? (or the windows directory where it is located read-only?) Tim TowApplied OLAP, Inc

  • Setting defaults for reminders in iCal

    Is it possible to set a default for reminder in iCal? I would like to set it at e-mail the day before. However, iCal seems to have a reminder default as an alert (which is simply a pop-up), not  e-mail. For every event I creat in iCal, I am having to manually put in the e-mail 1 day before. It doesn't remember the number of days either, because when I choose e-mail, it automatically displays 15 days. I know there's got to be some way to fix this. Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    thats what we've been doing. Problem is its gets a bit tedious when you have to constantly go through this process (and it involves a few clicks to do so) each time you open a file or place an image.  The usual default is for files to be listed by name so we are not sure how or why all of a sudden it now defaults to "last modified" each time one of these menus is opened. And the defaults are fine ie. files are listed by name when opening folders outside of indesign... its only through indesign that they have reveted to "last modified"..... 

  • Problems setting duration for still photos and transitions in iMovie '11

    I downloaded iMovie 11 from the Apps Store last night and am trying to make my first movie with it today. I use still photos exclusively.
    For most - but not all - I like 5 seconds for photos and for transitions 2 seconds. I do vary this on occasion and so do not check "for all photos' or "for all transitions".
    I can't get these settings to work with this version of iMovie. For example, I added a photo (5 sec) then a transition (2 sec) which changed the duration time of the photo - as it should. But when I double clicked the photo, to bring up the inspector window to change the duration of the photo, nothing happened. Then I added another photo. The duration of the first photo increased to 7 seconds and nothing I do seemed to change that.
    The time increases seem random: for example, sometimes the time on the still photo increases to 6:29 sec, sometimes to 7 sec.
    The duration for the transitions always remains the same - 2 sec; it's the time for the photos that jumps around. And I haven't been able to find a way to get back to 5 sec.
    Before posting this, I researched and found an number of earlier posts detailing the same issues.
    However, none of these posts had stars to indicate the problem was solved.
    Has anyone found a solution or is this a bug that should be reported to Apple?

    Interesting!!
    I've spent a lot of hours on this too, but I have come up with a different solution perhaps because I like to vary both the image duration and the transition duration in my movies.
    Here's my process:
    -> Knowing that (a) I want most of the photos to be visible for 5 seconds and most transitions for 2 seconds and (b) that a transition takes half from the photo before and half from the photo after, under File>Project Properties>Photo Duration I chose 7 seconds - each photo will 'lose' a total of 2 seconds from the transitions in front and behind. I did not check either "Applies to all transitions." or "Applies to all photos." - See below for why.
    -> I discovered, as you have, that all the photos have to go in before I add any transitions. This was new to me. With all previous versions of iMovie I simply added a photo then a transition then another photo one at a time. I had to fiddle with the timing adjustments, but at least I could fiddle. With this new version of iMovie I can't. Once the transition is in place, I cannot change the duration of the photo.
    -> Sometimes, I want a longer or shorter duration for a photo. For example, on photos to which I apply the Ken Burns effect, I often want the image on the screen for a slightly longer time. In this case, I have to use the inspector to change the duration before I add the transitions. So I might set the time for 8 seconds; when both transitions are added, the time for this photo becomes 6 seconds, which is what I want.
    -> The same applies if I want a transition to be shorter or longer than 2 seconds. If, for example, I want the duration for a transition to be 1 second, then I have to change the duration on the two linked photos to 5 1/2 seconds.
    All of this requires much more prior planning than I am used to with iMovie. Right now, I working with batches of 5 or 6 photos at a time. I don't put a transition on the last photo in the batch until I have added the next group of photos. And things get really tricky if I don't like my original design. If I want to change anything, I have to take out all of the transitions linking the photos I want to work on, do the math, make the changes in the photo durations, then put the transitions back.
    Perhaps I am trying to make iMovie do more than it was intended to do, I don't know. Perhaps this problem stems from the fact that I bought just iMovie 11 from the Mac Apps Store and not the entire iLife 11. Don't know that either. But at least I have found a way to make the movie look the way I want it to look.
    Thanks for sharing your process. I will use it when the circumstances are right.

  • How to set default for ddlb in pcui?

    Hi guys,

    Hi Shen,
    Create first domain for your DDLB field and when you assign this filed in field grp structure select the checkbox for " Domain values".  So that you can see the default values in PCUI screen when launching the page.
    Ex  field name -  suffix            ( Create domain for this field and assign values like Mr.Mrs)

In order to deploy new settings, I follow instructions ( right click chassis>>deploy settings), but when I right click chassis the only option I could choose from are New, Arrange by, expand all, collapse all, remove from project, rename, help and properties. I dont have deploy. Am I not following instructions or is there anything wrong?
    Thanks for help
    Best regards

    Definitely sounds like some necessary software isn't installed or had an installation problem.  Can you reply back with what you have installed?
    You should have installed at least
    LabVIEW
    LabVIEW RT
    NI-RIO
    and preferably, in that order.

  • Set defaults for voice/no effects/no metronome

  • Set defaults for table wizard?

    Is there a way to set defaults when adding a table in contributor?
    I think some of the defaults are set to:
    Border Size = 1
    Width = 200 pixels
    For example, we would like the defaults:
    Border Size = ""
    Width = ""

    I think you can set the default time for a transition. Go to Edit/Preferences/General.
    But whether or not your transition will center at the cut depends on the characteristics of your clips.
    As I explain in my book, transitions need to borrow about half a second of material from beyond the out point of one clip and the in point of the other to create the transitional segment. If one clip has that extra footage and the other does not, the transition will favor the clip with the transitional material unless you force it otherwise.
    And, during slideshows, transitions will often rest off-center by default.
