Setting default settings in Preview

I'm developing a Bento database of my library and I'm using Preview for scanning book covers. I'm interested in seeing if I could set some default settings:
1) When using Preview to import from my Canon MP800, is there a way to configure the scanning program to the settings I want to use (75dpi and color) instead of the 25 dpi and text setting that this always starts off with?
2) After scanning in 20 book covers I save each as a separate file, but when I give the save command it always defaults to JPEG200 format and I have to change it to JPEG. Can this be set somewhere?
I see nothing in Preview Preferences that allows me to do this, and it amazes me that there is no way to improve this workflow...

Same question for me.
Very annoying to select again everytime you scan...
Any idea someone ?
Thanks,

Any Way to Set Default Settings for HDR Toning?

I have developed a nice set of parameters for the HDR Toning feature and have saved them as Noels Defaults, but I don't see a way to make them the default settings for HDR Toning. Frankly I find the default color settings for the tool very garish. I suppose that's good, because it always reminds me that I need to select my own settings, but...
Can you suggest a way to make my own settings the HDR Toning dialog defaults, so as to save a step each time I use it?
My apologies if I'm being dense and missing something obvious.
Thanks.
-Noel
P.S., I'm on Windows 7 by the way, and of course I'm talking about Photoshop CS5.

Thanks Zeno.
Well, then, Adobe, could you please make the defaults settable, for example like Camera Raw?
Thank you.

How to set default view for preview?

Every time I open a PDF using Preview I have to set the view to 'thumbnails', then 'two pages up', then adjust the zoom. Complete waste of time.
Anyone know how to set defaults so that it opens in a predictable way?
thanks,

I customized my Toolbar to look like the following. Click the middle button that has the 1 circled. That tells Preview to remember to display pages at actual size (100%). Every file that I open now displays at 100%.

How to silently install and set default settings

I need to deploy FireFox 16.0.2 to a bunch of Windows computers and set some default settings. Is there a good article that can walk me through it?
I also need to set the home page, have it not check for the default browser, and disable updates. The -ms option does silently install FireFox so I guess I just need to know how to configure FireFox for our environment and push out those settings with the install.
I have versions ranging from 1 to 15. Do those old versions need to be removed first or can 16.0.2 be installed over what is already there? Is there an uninstall switch for this so that I can create a package to remove it?

hello jmoody76 - you can manage central settings with the mozilla.cfg file in the firefox program folder. this article gives some guidance on how to implement that: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
i think it may work to just install the new versions on top of the older ones (though i'm not sure if this has any unintended side effects on those very old installations) or according to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments it's possible to run a silent uninstall through the setup executable by /S.

Setting Default Settings, Programs from Admin Account

So I am new to Macs, this may be a stupid question.
I am the administrator on a new 24" iMac for my work. I am trying to set defaults (backgrounds, docks, desktop items, etc.) for the accounts for my staff. I want to set it up so every new account that I create has the same set of programs on the dock, the same desktop background, same default programs, same programs on-login that sort of thing.
I imagine that this is pretty easy, but I've done some searching and came up blank. Thanks for your help!

Set up an account as desired, and then copy the files from its home folder to the /System/Library/User Template/ folder. This needs to be done as root, and the copies in the template need to be owned by root.

Change Default Settings for Preview?

Whenever I open a PDF document, it is always in a two page view.
I would like to be able to have it automatically open in single page continuous but this option isn't in the Preview preferences.
Help would be great so I don't have to change it every time I open PDF!
Thanks!

well, I'd first check that you've got write permission on Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.preview.plist since Preview-View-PDF Display should set that for you, just as surely as the Terminal
defaults write com.apple.Preview PVPDFDisplayMode 1
In any case, perhaps removing the file with Preview quit will restore normal operation, albeit with the loss of your preference settings etc.

Set default Settings for Brightness/Contrast Slider

I am in the throes of editing several hundred pictures. My camera has a standard tendency toward too bright and not enough contrast. While editing about a hundred pictures in Photoshop Elements 3.0 last night, the brightness/Contrast and Shadow highlight slider suddenly retained the last setting - which GREATLY enhanced my editing efficiency! Alas, today it is back to normal - the Brightness/Contrast slider default is 0 for it's associated sliders and the Shadow Highlight option is again at 50%/0/0 for the three associated sliders.
Is there a way to set a default value for the associated sliders for each of these?
(I had installed Photoshop Elements 5.0 on a trial basis up until yesterday and also have Photoshop Elements 4.0 installed, but it is such a hassle to use, I just gave up on it (and 5.0 has the same issue as 4.0 - no concurrent file browser when editing.))

Can't help you with Shadows/Highlights, but you do have an option with Brightness/Contrast. Instead of going to Enhance>Adjust Lighting>Brightness/Contrast, go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Brightness/Contrast instead. Once you've established the parameters you want for Brightness and Contrast, you can open up additional pictures and drag-and-drop the adjustment layer onto each new picture, retaining the settings from the first adjustment. This also allows you to quickly tweak the settings on the succeeding pictures, as adjustment layers can be readjusted ad infinitum.
If only Shadows/Highlights had an adjustment layer option...

Scan default settings in preview

Nearly every time, I scan with preview with the same settings. But I don't find a possibility to save my settings as default.
Is there no way in no program of the Mac OS (preview, digital images, system settings of printers/scanners)?
Thanks for help, Bertold

Preview is a limited scanning tool and so does not offer the features you are looking for. I personally, like many others in these Forums, have moved over to using "Vuescan" as a scanning App to increase my scanning flexibility and Productivity. I happen to really like it. You can look at it here:

HT202612 Guided Access - set default settings?

I want to set my default Guided Access settings so that every time I turn it on, my volume and sleep/wake buttons are enabled. Is there a way to do this? Right now, I have to RE-set those specific settings every day for my next group of students.

Posix permissions have three entities that permissions are granted for, owner, group, and others.
On those three entities, you can have read, write, and execute permissions. The Mac OS X GUI calls others everyone. Take a look at [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2963]
Staff is the default group a user is placed into.
Others can read your home folder so that they can read the Sites folder and the Public folder. All the other folders should only have read privileges for the owner (you). When you create a file/folder, it inherits the permissions of the enclosing folder. So, if you create a new folder inside your home folder, it will automatically have read permissions for others. If you create a folder inside one of the default folders in home, it will only be readable by you.
You can change the permissions on those folders you create right inside the home folder so that others cannot read them.

How to set default settings to display record count in multi record block

Hi All
Whenever I query my multi record block, I get 1/? as record count at the console in standard Oracle Applications. Is there any setting so that it displays 1/50 (in case total record queried is 50). I don't want to set query all property of block as I don't have any control in standard Apps forms.
Thanks in advance
Navdeep

Check out the next_navigation_item option for the get_item_property procedure. If you use this you can do the process without having to navigate from one item to the next.
You can do something like this (untested) to move and resize the items (other than the first in the block):
PROCEDURE move_and_resize(p_item IN ITEM, p_width IN PLS_INTEGER) IS
  prev_item ITEM := Get_Item_Property(p_item, PREVIOUS_NAVIGATION_ITEM);
BEGIN
  Set_Item_Property(p_item, WIDTH, Get_Item_Property(p_item, WIDTH) + p_width);
  Set_Item_Property(p_item, X_POS, Get_Item_Property(prev_item, WIDTH) +
                                   Get_Item_Property(prev_item, X_POS));
END move_and_resize;
move_and_resize(myitem, -30);

Setting Default Global Settings for Bex Analyzer 7 for all users

We need to set default settings for Bex Analyzer Global Settings when we install SAP-GUI 7.2 in our user's workstations. The current default settings are that all of them are turned off. We would rather not have to run around and change each of our 1,000 user's settings.

Just so any one is looking for the correct solution and it worked for me.
Small correction to the information in the OSS note 1254112.
for setting the legacy version setting use the below string in the registry
"LAUNCH_VERSION" = "LEGACY" insted of "LaunchLegacyVersion"

Problem saving Default settings - Need Help

Hello. New user to this forum.
I am running BB Desktop Software V. 7.1.0.41 (Bundle 42) on a Windows 7 64 bit "Ultimate" platform. I'm using a "domain" account (from Active Directory) and it has "Enterprise Administrator" rights.
When I start BB Desktop, I click on "Tools--> Desktop Options," and then I click the "Change" button to change the "Deffault File location" for saving backup files (it defaults to "MY Documents\BlackBerry\Backup"). I change it, save it, and it changes to the new directory location I specify. I then do my backup and sync operation, and exit the program.
However, when I restart the program for the next backup and sync, I find the the location has returned to the default location ("My Documents\BlackBerry\Backup") and not what I changed it to the previous session. I change it again, and it stays changed but only for the duration of that session, If I exit the program and return to it, it goes back to the default setting...
Is this the normal behvaior of the program? Are we not allowed to change the default backup location permanently? Or is something else stopping it from changing permanently? Perhaps a Local or domain policy setting (I dion't know if Blackberry Desktop Software is affected by these settings)...
Any help greately appreciated. It's just a pain to have to change the location every time I enter the program.
Thanks very much.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Hi All, this is my first post and question.
I have LR3 running on 2 PC's. I wanted to change a couple of the default settings. On one of the PC's, I made a couple of changes and saved them using, Develop-Set Default Settings. When I restarted LR3, these changes were saved and being used. On the other PC, I did the exact same thing and when I restarted LR3, the changes had not been saved. Any idea why this may have happened?
Is it possible that you are using a different body with your other PC. The Develop presets are camera dependant. That's the only thing that I can think of.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Also, I am wondering about watermarks used in LR3. On one of my PC's there is a watermarks called, A Charming Font. On the other PC, in LR3, that is not am option. I really like this watermark. Can I somehow add it to the one that does not have it?
I believe that you should find the watermark somewhere within the "Application Support (may be called something else on a PC)" folder for Lightroom. Im not sure where that would be on a PC though. Try searching on your OS (ctrl+F) for "A Charming Font."

JMS Adapter - Set Additional JMS Parameters or Replace Default Settings

Hi colleagues,
We are using PI/XI 7.0 (SP 12).
In trying to set up a Communication Channel using JMS Adapter to connect to Oracle AQ, I do not see the checkbox "Set Additional JMS Parameters or Replace Default Settings" , nor is the table for the parameters / value visible.
We have deployed the driver file as described in the How-to- guide: How To Install and Configure External Drivers for JDBC & JMS Adapters
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f04ce027-934d-2a10-5a8f-fa0b1ed4d88f?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]
In setting up the Communication Channel so far:
Type: Sender
Transport Protocol: Access JMS Provider Generically
Message Protocol: JMS 1.x
Adapter Engine:      Integration Server
After this I expect to see the checkbox "Set Additional JMS Parameters or Replace Default Settings", but it is not there.
Therefore I am not able to select it in order to enter parameters like:
JMS.QueueConnectionFactoryImpl.classname
JMS.QueueConnectionFactoryImpl.method.setHostName
JMS.QueueImpl.classname
JMS.QueueImpl.constructor.... etc
Can someone please share if this because we are on too low SP or do we need to do something additional before it becomes visible? Is this a feature that only became available as of PI/XI 7.0 SP 13 or 14 ?
I checked both Sender and Receiver channel type, and it does not appear for both.
Thanks & Cheers,
Jodie

Hi experts,
We are using PI 7.1 and I've set up a communication Channel using JMS Adapter to send
messages to a Sonic MQ queue.
I need to send some values as JMS parameters, two of which are constants and two are values
from the Sender message. I tried defining and setting up the parameters with constants values
in the Communication Channel under the Advanced tab by selecting the check-box
set Adapter-specific Message Attributes as follows:
Name     TYPE
ContentType     String
ReturnValue     boolean
Name     VAlue
Contenttype     CompanyCode
ReturnValute     true
This however lead to an error in the Adapter Engine (RWB).
My problem is:
1. Can anyone please instruct me as to how to go about defining and setting up
   additional JMS parameters?
2. How to go about defining/setting up variables that will get their values from
   the sender message?
Thanks & Cheers,
Joe
