Show Last Folder Used upon Startup: Dan

Bridge opens and shows a folder i may have accessed a week ago. Then it will change to another folder that i access and continue to do so long after this folder is relevant. How can i get Bridge to always show the last folder viewed [shown][accessed] upon a new startup.

You lhave to turn off the autoload on startup option, or exit Bridge before closing the computer. Use exit not close window.
Option is in advanced pref. I believe.

Can't save files to Last Folder Used

I'm scanning items with a Kodak iQsmart3, running under Kodak's oXYgen 2.6.1 scan application. Late last week, the application suddenly stopped saving files to the last folder used. Now I have to re-select the destination folder for each scan.
I have rebooted the computer several times, and have also re-installed the scan application, but nothing helps the problem. It seems now that the problem may be with OS 10.4.11. I've searched and searched for a solution within the OS, but can't find anything that helps.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to proceed? Is there a place where you can check to see if the saving options can be changed?

Thanks for your suggestion. However, I did as you advised and still cannot save files to the last folder used, as I used to be able to do.
This is the first time in the 2 1/2 years I've been using this system that I've had any trouble with it. When I opened Disk Utility, it showed me the size and type of three different drives, all identical in manufacture. The first holds the Operating system, and the other two are set up in a Raid Striped set. I selected Macintosh HD under the name of the first drive, since that's the name of the disk on my desktop, and ran the Repair Permissions function, moving the recentitems.plist file to the desktop and rebooting, as per your instructions. Was that the proper area to use or should I have selected the disk description above that?
(Below is the disk information from the Disk Utility application)

Downloading images used to go automatically to the last folder used to save images, even when reopening Firefox. In just the past few days, possibly coinciding wih the most recent updates, the folder defaults to the 'Downloads' folder. This is most annoyi

Downloading images used to go automatically to the last folder used to save images, even when reopening Firefox. In just the past few days, possibly coinciding wih the most recent updates, the folder defaults to the 'Downloads' folder. This is most annoying. What happened? Internet Explorer 8.0 did the same thing. This was one of the reasons why I started using Firefox to download all images. I went into Tools>Options and it only lets me set another folder. I dont want to set a specific folder I want it to always go to the last folder used. So what gives?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== possibly when the most recent updates were installed, a few days ago

Thanks jscher 2000. I guess I didn't make it clear. "It restarts with all the addons activated, and resumes with the tabs that were open before closing it." IE, it's running fine now with all the extensions activated. Everything is OK now.
So something in the Firefox code was causing the bad behavior. It's not essential that I find out what the problem was - I'm just curious. And if anybody else has this same problem, it might be nice to have it corrected at the source.

Bridge CS4 Won't Reopen the last folder used after reboot . . .

When I restart Win XP (32 bit) and open Bridge CS4 it opens to a specific folder (the same one every time) but NOT the last one used. My Workspaces also seem to be forgotten. Is there a way to specify the folder that you want Bridge to open?
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Bob

Are you closing Bridge properly (waiting until all processing has finished) before shutting Windows down?

Jtree show last folder only

Say my root is set like this:
root = new File(System.getProperty("user.home")+ "\\Mijn documenten\\Tekstbestanden");
The tree now shows:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Mijn documenten\Tekstbestanden
This line is way too long in size for my jpanel, it takes too much space, I'd like to shorten it to the last folder only:
\Tekstbestanden
Anyone an idea how to implement this?
Thanks!

The DefaultTreeCellRenderer actually isn't doing anything.
It want it to let the tree show only the children, and not the parent ( because it's size it's taking).
The classes involved:
class NodeRenderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer {
public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree, Object value,
               boolean sel, boolean expanded, boolean leaf, int row,
               boolean hasFocus) {
          super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value, sel, expanded, leaf,
                    row, hasFocus);
          DefaultMutableTreeNode node = (DefaultMutableTreeNode) value;
          File file = (File) node.getUserObject();
          String name = file.getName();
          setText(name);
          return this;
     public NodeRenderer() {
          super();
class FileTreeModel implements TreeModel
     protected File root;
     public FileTreeModel(File root) { this.root = root; }
     public Object getRoot() {
          return root;
     public boolean isLeaf(Object node) {
          return ((File)node).isFile();
     public int getChildCount(Object parent) {
          String[] children = ((File)parent).list();
          if (children == null) return 0;
          return children.length;
     public Object getChild(Object parent, int index) {
          String[] children = ((File)parent).list();
          if ((children == null) || (index >= children.length)) return null;
          return new File((File) parent, children[index]);
     public int getIndexOfChild(Object parent, Object child) {
          String[] children = ((File)parent).list();
          if (children == null) {
               return -1;
          String childname = ((File)child).getName();
          for(int i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
               if (childname.equals(children)) return i;
          return -1;

There is also a Model and Controller class, but these are still without any function.

Preview´s "save as" option faulty ?! (documents folder vs. last folder used

Hi
I found several discusssions around this subject, but none with a bugfix / solution. It´d be nice if someone could point me to the solution if there indeed is one.
Here´s the deal: I generate bills from my database as a pdf. Some customers want the pdf per email as well as the paper version.
So my workflow generating several bills one after another, is this
-- hit command-p for the first bill, the pdf - document appears in a preview window
-- hit command-shift-s "save as"
-- select my bills folder (several levels deep tucked away), give a unique file name
-- hit Enter to save the pdf
-- hit enter to print the document.
so far so good, that works as flawless under 10.5 as under 10.4.
next bill:
-- hit command-p for the 2nd bill, the pdf - document appears in a preview window
-- hit command-shift-s "save as"
-- * under 10.4: my bills folder is already preselected; click on one of the other bills to get an almost correct filename, adjust filename and Enter, Enter, ready, next bill
-- * under 10.5: documents folder is preselcted (***?) -- select my bills folder *(i.e. click on my_user > commercial docs > bills > client xyz > july 2008* > click on one of the other bills to get an almost correct filename, adjust filename and Enter, Enter, ready, next bill
This getting away from the keyboard using the mouse (yeah I know, I still could use the keyboard, but that´s nonetheless manymany key presses) to navigate 5 levels deep to a folder really costs time and gets on my nerves...
any idea (and I really don´t want to buy $35 default folder for a job, that worked flawlessly under 10.4)??
I have no problem opening a plist file and do some editing; any other idea would be greatly appreciated...
thx
BTW: Textedit doesn´t show this behaviour.

hmm thanks.
I shied away all this time from automator, simply because I´m lazy as ****
After having looked into it for all of 2 seconds, one questions. - It looks as if Automator manipulates a file that is already on disk.
That document, which I have open in preview, is "not yet" a file. It has been generated by my DB and sent to preview, but there´s no file on disk. - Don´t know if I explain myself correctly.
No idea how to manipulate this "entity", or make it do anything with automator.

Bridge no longer remembers last folder used

I know it used to do this properly, but lately any time I reboot my computer bridge forgets where it was in my folder tree. For awhile it was always going back to a folder that I hadn't used in ages but lately, it just forgets where it was. I just spent about 1/2 hour going through all the preferences in both PS and bridge but couldn't find a relevant button or check box. Any thoughts out there as to why? Thanks.

Thanks Curt I'll give that a try. The crazy thing though is that up until 6 mon to a yr ago the thing worked even with it being set to start bridge at logon. The about 6 mons'ish ago bridge latched on to one particular folder and always went there no matter what other processing I had done. No it just defaults to the absolute top of the tree view and I have to burrow down to what I was last doing. There should be a button or check box in preferences to fix this.

Bridge does not remember last folder opened upon reboot of the OS

I recently re-installed Win 7 64 on a new HD, and after all the folderol of that operation (Windows updates, SP1 etc) Bridge does not seem to remember where it was when the computer is rebooted. When I open Bridge, all I get under Favorites/Folders is Desktop and Computer, under which I have to run down all the HD's, folders, subfolders again to find where I was last. It works correctly in XP but not Win7 64 Ultimate.
Am I missing something in the setup?

Yep.
Checked XP and it is unchecked there as well.
Thanks, Curt Y!

MacBook Air error code page upon startup

If anyone could help, I have no experience or knowledge at all about how to fix my MacBook Air!
Basically I used my laptop as normal last week and upon startup today, a grey error code page appears and I can't get past it, basically my laptop is not usable just now.
The error coding is along the lines of:
Unable to find driver for this platform
Debugger called: <panic>
Mac OS version: not yet set
Something about kernel versions?
I've tried to reinstall my OS X mountain lion but it was taking hours and not making a single bit of progress, can anyone suggest anything? I have no idea which version of Mountain Lion I have/had so I just selected the earliest one...

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

TextEdit "forgets" last folder

When I create a new document in TextEdit, it was always useful that it would open the "Save as" window in the folder I had last used in TextEdit.
I am not sure when or after what changes in my system, it just won't do that anymore: it always gets back to "documents" folder.
This change in behavior seems to be restricted to TextEdit - Pages, Numbers and Safari still show me the last folder used for saving.
I tested creating a new user account, and indeed it works as before, so the problem seems to be restricted to my main (administrator) user account.
Could anyone help me troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks a lot!

Since the issue is specific to your original user account, you can proceed in two ways. One is to log into your new account, make a list of the preference files (plists) located in /username/Library/Preferences/, including any in the ByHost subfolder, log back into the original account, move everything on that other account's list from the original account's Preferences folder into a newly created folder on the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if the problem goes away. If so, you can copy the ones in the Desktop folder (one at time) back into /Preferences/, restart, and see if the problem returns. If so, you've identified the corrupt/conflicting one. Continue with all of them until isolating the bad ones. That'll save you the trouble of resetting preferences.
The second way is much more detailed and I'll not burden you with the steps unless the above doesn't fix the issue.

Why can't I save for web in a specific folder using actions?

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to save in a specific folder desitnations when using Actions and Saving For Web with CS6 PS for Windows. It ALWAYS defaults to last folder used. I am not Batch Processing, just using Actions on one image at a time. I have 3 of these actions. Action one is for "Thumbnail" folder, Action two is for "Full" folder, and Action three is for "Large" folder. All these actions are doing is saving for web into these folders (path displays correctly in Action script). HOWEVER after I successfully use Action one and save into the Thumbnail folder and move on to Action 2, it wants to save back into Thumbnail AND NOT into Full folder. In short I now have 3 actions saving to the same folder even though my recording designated 3 different locations. HELP!

Ok...I switched to my home Mac and was having similar issues with the toggle Save for Web window on. Saving to same folder even in Mac OS. Tried your way by keeping toggle off and it worked, saving diff images to different folders. I guess I have to figure a work around for the naming conventions however. My original is a 5 digit number lets say 11111.jpg. When I duplicate / use a sizing action I get two additional photos named 11111 copy.jpg. That is why I kept toggle window on in CS3 so I could simply paste the 11111 name back in the dialogue window so I'd have three diff size photos in three diff folders named 11111.jpg.
These steps might seem super basic but I do these steps for a website all day everyday three months straight without issue and I guess I have to adjust. I usually use orignal photos and have to rename. Is there a way to Duplicate images as the same 11111.jpg instead of 11111 copy.jpg? That way I can just rename the photo at the beginning (red_flower_000ddafjdflj to 11111.jpg) and not use toggle (or rename at all).

Bridge CS4 does not open in last folder user

Bridge does not open all of the time in the last folder used. It will open in a previous folder.
Any ideas?

You need to exit Bridge before shutting down for a return to your last folder.
I think it should automatically exit when you shut down so you will return to the folder you were last using.
This occurs when you have bridge set up to launch at start up, which is great in itself.
CS4 bridge is so improved from CS3 in speed and reliability..thanks to Adobe!

Ai CS4 Open from last folder PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi Folks
First time poster so be gentle!
I am running CS4 on Leopard 10.5.8 an when i 'File/open' Illistrator defaults to my Documents folder instead of the last folder used. Photoshop and Indesign are fine so its an Illustrator problem. I tried deleting the preferences folder but the problems is still there.
Please help its driving me nuts!!!!!

You have a permission problem on whatever folder you work and the program falls back to the default folder. May relate to the inadvertently locked files issues which have been discussed at length in this forum, so maybe do a search. Other than rthat simply check those permissions and run tools like OnyX to straighten out things.

How do I get all users to show on screen upon startup for login?

New MacBook Pro with latest IOS. Yosemite10.10
I got my first MacBook Pro out of the box from the Apple store yesterday...Logged in as an initial admin user...Then I migrated my MacBook Air to it. All three imported users showed. Success!! Then I restarted the MacBook Pro and the startup screen shows only a single login option: The initial admin user login Icon and name that I used on the MacBook Pro just before migrating the other users in from my MacBook Air.
So, I deleted the initial user (I did not need it), so that the other users (already with admin rights) would be the only logical logins that should show upon restart.
Result: The initial "deleted" user shows still, all alone and none of the other users. So I now log in to this "deleted" user, it is very slow to start before the other logins eventually appear after the this delay.
How do I get my users to show at the login screen upon startup and restart?

Go to Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure your time zone is correct and turn on Set Automatically if it isn't on already.
