Software engine be set to default in Prelude

We are using prelude in our newsroom. The desdktops inthe newrom has mulitple users during the day. However the first time a user launches Prelude, by default it goes to the Hardware GPU render engine and crashes the computer. If there any way to set the Prelude for software render to be the default.

How can I set a default Search Engine not Listed?

I want to set my default browser?to DuckDuckgo but Safari only gives me 3 options. Is there an easy way to override this or set my own custom browser?

What the extension does is it sets the defaut search in the address bar to use DuckDuckGo. If you want to go to DuckDuckGo.com everytime you open a new tab, then you need to set it for your home page. Then set up the prefs for everytime you open a new tab to go to your home page.

Can I set the default save location in text edit to dropbox?

I'm happy with dropbox for now and want to set the default save folder to a dropbox folder but I cannot see how to do this.
Can it be done? Or do I need a 3 party text editor?
Thanks
Tom

You cannot. Because this option both takes much longer and reduces the quality of files, it has to be chosen specifically.
In any case, when you save a PDF file from Word. this process does not involve Acrobat or Adobe software in any way.

How can I set a default save file for scans using the Solution Center?

Using Windows 7 - 64 bit. HP Photosmart Premuim C-309a All-In-One Printer.
Because of a Windows crash, I had to install a new drive and reload Windows. I also reloaded other software like the HP Solution Center & Drivers. My problem is that I can't find how to set a default folder for my scans. This is NOT mentioned in the user manual but it was originally accomplished by HP Tech Support when the printer was new. Can anyone relate how to set default folders for my scans?
Thanks.

Here is a document on how to scan through Windows 7.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03476857
Click either solution center or the icon of the printer on your desktop. Here select "Scanner Actions" (or the analogous selection). When the window pops up from the HP software it should provide you with options for file type (.tiff, .pdf, .jpg) as well as resolution and media size. Here on this page there is also an option for you to go to the advanced options. Using this you can alter the default safe folder.
Let me know if that helps you out!

Adobe Reader will not set as default application for .pdf in windows 8.1 pro x64

When I install adobe reader the icon/app changes from windows reader to Pick an app, I choose change and select adobe reader, the icons on my desktop flicker but nothing actually changes.Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs\Set Program Associations, Select adobe reader, Choose defaults for this program, PDF is unticked so I tick it and choose save, go back in and it is unticked again??? Right click on a pdf file, choose open with, choose default program, use this app for all .pdf files is ticked, select adobe...Still nothing changes, stays on pick an app. I uninstall adobe reader then the pdf icon changes to and default opens with windows reader again. Reinstall adobe reader and back to the same thing. ???? I am a power user, build configure computers and subsequent software, started with DOS 6.0, learned unix/linux/networking concepts/networking security/server versions of windows/active directory. The only solution I could think of was to hack the registry which I looked for but could not find. I am running 8.1 pro x64, I just discovered that windows reader (which I cant uninstall) has the same problem when adobe reader is installed. Windows will not allow either one to be set as default while they co-exist.

After an extended session with chat only to be told that since Adobe Reader was free they could not help me :-(... I figured it out myself.
I opened a administrator: command prompt window and typed "regedit" Through extensive searching and stumbled on this key located at... HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2274202122-2588692262-2244265822-1001_Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids The S-1-5-21...1001... is my current logged on user, your value may differ slightly. Typically the builtin disabled administrator account is 1000 and when you install windows and create a user account "John Doe" it will have administrator priveleges and be auto numbered 1001, every user account created therafter will increase by 1 ie...1002, 1003, 1004 etc. even if you remove (delete) an account and re-create it you wont get the same number, the system will use the next number in sequence. The old one will have been trashed never to be used again. Again here is the key...
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2274202122-2588692262-2244265822-1001_Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids I deleted this key under (default) on the right side...
Name                                                                       Type                                           Data

Personally I selected computer on the left side and the went to file/export then chose a file name [01 29 2014 regbackup.reg] and location. Then I selected "OpenWithProgids" and did the same thing,[pdf.reg] this saves a backup of the entire regestry and the key you are about to delete as a safety net. When you are done all you have to do is go to a pdf file, right click and choose open with...Adobe Reader - the box always use this app should already be checked.
I did this and it works yet because improper regestry modification can crash your system I am compelled to warn... Use at your own risk. If you are uncomfortable modifying your registry I would suggest consulting with someone qualified and has resources to do offline registry modifications/restorations which makes it VERY important to do the computer export registry backup.

How to set my default application...not working

My company has nearly all adobe applications installed from PageMaker 6.5 through InDesign 5.5. We use them all frequently. I'm trying to set my defaults on the Mac Pros and it is not working.
Specs if Needed:
OSX 10.6.8
Model Identifier:          MacPro5,1
Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:          2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          4
Memory:          6 GB
Boot ROM Version:          MP51.007F.B01
+BootCamp dual boot Windows 7
We proof out all files in the version that it comes to us. Our customers are on different versions than the most current, and it's driving us crazy that we can't set the defaults for
each Adobe application. For Instance,
We want for Defaults:
Photoshop = CS4
InDesign = CS4
Illustrator = CS5
etc.
The Finder will not allow us to make the change to open all of a certain file type in the version we want by default. We also use a third party application that allows us to "double
click" InDesign files and open them in the correct version. This saves valuable navigation time and because of the OS's problem with using the correct icons, it also saves us time
dealing with the "Untitled" document when we accidentally convert by opening in the wrong application by mistake. We have gone through Onyx utilities and massive permissions
troubleshooting to no avail. Does anyone know how to set the default for ALL files of a type for Adobe Apps? This has been thoroughly tested and is not working on 10 plus
machines, and only effects Adobe apps.
Any Ideas?

I think you miss understand the question. There is a problem with OSX 10.6 and Adobe Apps. 10.5 ok, not sure about 10.7 because of all of the other Adobe problems we downgraded the test machine that we used for the upgrade. There is no way that I have found to make the files “Double-Clickable” through assigning a default application of files with Adobe extensions. We already have an app. that we use and it worked fine until 10.6. I can’t just approve a division-wide purchase of software for a bug that may be solvable by other means (by the way supposed cost of the licensing Soxy is deceiving at $20. Not for us. For companies it’s $20 per platform & also for each time Adobe updates. When we swap out hardware, we have to pay $40 again . Their pricing is absurd). $40 x a couple hundred machines every 18 months or so, uugh! The ten or so I’m working with are just the ones in my immediate department.
I know you have good intentions with your reply and I appreciate it, however I’m looking to solve the problem, not put a band-aid on it. If the problem is by design so Rorohiko can hold companies hostage, then I guess we’ll just have to deal with the few extra clicks it takes to figure out which version we’re in need of, and dragging to the launch bar.
Thanks very much for your reply,
Seth

User defined function to set a default value of a column

Hi All
Can we use user defined function to set a default value of a column ??
for example:
create or replace function test1 return number is
begin
return 10;
end;
create table testt
(id as test1,
name varchar2(20));
error:
ORA-02000: missing ( keywordThanks

ORA-04044: procedure, function, package, or type is not allowed hereUsing PL/SQL code like that raises 2 basic problems. If that PL/SQL code for the calculating the column default breaks, what happens to the SQL insert statements against that table. These will need to fail as the table definition depends on the PL/SQL code. This is problematic as this dependency simply increases the complexity of the SQL object.
The 2nd issue is performance. PL/SQL code needs to be executed by the PL/SQL engine. This means a context switch from the SQL engine to the PL/SQL engine in order to determine the default value for that column. Context switching is a performance overhead.
So even if it was possible to use a PL/SQL function as parameter for the SQL default clause, I would not be that keen to use it.

In "Set your default programs" under Win7, file associations of Firefox are tampered!

In "Set your default programs" under the Control Panel of Windows 7, Firefox does appears in the "Programs" list on the left. But, its icon is that of Windows Media Player.
After I click on the program's name (Firefox) to display the details on the right, I notice the icon for Firefox becomes that of Windows Media Player, too. And, "Mozilla Corporation" becomes "Microsoft Corporation."
If I click on "Set this program as default", files of these types are opened by Windows Media Player, not by Firefox:
htm, html, shtml, xht, xhtml.
So, I have to manually associate those file types with Firefox from "Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program."
To solve this problem, what registry entries should I edit?

I don't know if the extensions I use for version 19.2 suit the latest version. So, I just re-installed 19.2, and all is well now. Thank you very much for your help.
After the re-installation, I noticed there is a string value '''Firefox''' under
''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegisteredApplications''
This registry key contains all the program names listed in '''Set your default programs'''. So, I guess that if the string '''Firefox''' points to Windows Media Player, I get the trouble.

How do I set the default in Firefox to NOT auto update?

I am being asked to create an installer for Firefox that sets the default to NOT auto update. We have Standard users who cannot load software, so do not want them to be prompted. WE want to control when programs get updated, so need to set the default in Firefox to not prompt to update anything. How do I do this? What file can I change?

I've tried that, and then created my installer, but it defaults back to having auto update checked, or in the ON position. I want it to default to being OFF so any new installs or upgrades that I send out do not turn it back on.
We manage all computers here, and do not want users doing any updates.

How to set the default language in preferences- dictionary- language

Hi guys,
i like to set the default dictionary language as well as the lookup path of the dictionary via script. I've found the property dictionary path as well as some settings for qoutation under languages with vendors:
app.languagesWithVendors[INDEX OF LANGUAGE].name
app.languagesWithVendors[INDEX OF LANGUAGE].dictionaryPaths
Thats fine, but how can it set a certain language with vendor as the default language for the application itself? Under the Preferences->Dictionary dialog, I can find a dropdown showing the default language. But how can I access this default or set it?
The application object has a property object called dictionaryPreferences, but this object only contains some flags like the merge behaviour but not the default language itself. So where is it?
app.dictionaryPreferences.mergeUserDictionary
Menue
Dialog
API

Ok guys,
in the meantime I think I got it. I can setup several dictionaries for several languages. Depending on the language I use in my paragraph styles the according dictionary will be used. Fine for the desktop.
But what about the InDesign Server! I use the server via scripting and SOAP ports, webservice calls. I've launched several webservice ports, like 10001,10002,10003,10004. In this case, I can set up a vendor dictionary by providing a path via script send to one port 10001 for example. But here are two problems:
1. The other InDesign Server instances aka webservice ports and engines won't get informed about the change. I have to run the script on all instances.
2. The change only lives as long as the instance is running but doesn't get saved. After restart the instance, the setup got lost.
So can I save the dictionary-setup with an pref-xml file, all InDesign Server instances would use and read per default?

How to set the default Excel cell format when opening XML to XLS using an existing stylesheet?

Hi,
I have an XML file, which I'm opening with the Excel application. The stylesheet I use is horizontal.xsl.
The problem arised when the XML has data in the format "1/4" or "1/16", which is translated in the Excel as date (like "01/04/2007").
I think I have to set the default cell type to "Text" instead of "General". Does anyone know how it can be done?

Is this the same question as idoZo, if so jigg has already answered it. If not then you should post your own query not hijack someone elses giving a clear and concise question, "how to set it??" doesn't help you or other in the forum to provide you with a solution.
Is this relevant to TestStand? If it is then help by providing which version you are using and what software you are using with it. If not then post your question in the correct board.

On a mac computer, how do i set the default brower to open up links in emails to Safari, and not Mozilla

On a mac computer, how do i set the default brower to open up links in emails to Safari, and not Mozilla
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; GTB6.5; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Thanks for the suggestion.
A few weeks ago I downloaded some free software from the "tucows.com" website, it appears to have permanently hijacked my web browsers (both firefox and IE) so all searches go to their "searchqu" site, and new tabs open at that site. I was unable to repair this with the addins you suggested or by editing my user preferences files, and ended up having to reinstall firefox. Hopefully I won't run into the tucows rootkit ;)
But thanks anyway.

Is there a way to set a default solution .runsettings file in VS2013?

This is a question my coworker asked over on StackOverflow
[here], but hasn't received a single comment or answer. Thought I'd repost it here since I know the VS guys are more likely to see it here...
I'm using VS2013 with the built-in unit test framework. I've created a .runsettings file that sits in the Solution Items folder. When I select Test -> Test Settings -> Select Test Settings File, I am able to choose my .runsettings file and it works
as expected.
When I exit out of VS2013 and then re-load the project, I have to re-select the .runsettings file. Is there any way to set the default .runsettings file at solution level so it gets persisted?

Hi,
I can’t get your issue on my side(VS2012 Update 4 machine and VS2013 Update 1 RC machine). If you are using VS2012, please upgrade it to VS2012 Update 4. If you are using VS2013, please upgrade it to VS2013 Update 1 RC.
When I restart VS and re-load the project, the .runsettings file is still selected
with the Select Test Settings File menu option and .runsettings file is still used when I run the unit test.
I doubt that there is anything wrong with your VS. As I mentioned above, please reset your VS settings through Tools->Import and Export settings->Reset all settings…
If no help, try some other devenv commands to fix:
1.devenv.exe /safemode
2.devenv.exe /resetskippkgs
3.devenv.exe /installvstemplates
4.devenv.exe /resetuserdata
devenv.exe can be located under your VSlocation/Common7/IDE
What your need is to put it to run prompt and add commands to it.
If the issue still exists, please repair or reinstall your VS.
Meanwhie, if you have some anti-virus software running when you work with VS, please close them to check the reuslt.

Color Profiles even when Profile set as Default keep switching - G570

I recently had to calibrate the G570 monitor. The default profile for Lenovo is too blue and for office work this may not be a problem. However, it's an issue when drawing and illustrating.
For example, the image imbedded in this thread http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=232287
Shows someone having issues with color management because the Samsung profile is too yellow, and yet their display shows whites (ie in the layers palette, OS etc...)
If you look through the default Lenovo or Thinkpad calibration, your monitor is too blue to tell the difference between the hues. I calibrated mine with a Spyder Express.
Now on to the problem. Even though I have it on as default to be loaded in Color Management in Windows 7, it appears to keep flickering off and on between the default profile that comes with Lenovo laptops and the Calibrated profile with Spyder express.
Even in the Advanced settings in Color Management and setting the default as the Spyder icm profile, I still get the flickering when it comes out of sleep/monitor turned off etc.
Is there a way to keep it consistently on?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The link I provided before is the solution.
If you have a custom color profile for color management, you need to disable igfxpers.exe from dominating it.
I disabled it in the Startup Services, and ended the process in the Task Manager. My monitor now stays at the profile I calibrated it for.
This is a problem with Intel's software and not Lenovo.

I'm trying to change the default line spacing on Word to 1.5, but the "set as default" button isn't there. How to I make it appear?

I use Word 2011 and I am trying to change my line spacing default to 1.5. However, the button that usually says "set as default" is not an option. So, I am ofrced to change the line spacing every time I write a new document. How do I make 1.5 spacing a default setting? Thanks!

It sounds like you're asking for advice on using Microsoft Word. Apple's site is for technical questions about Apple-branded hardware & software. The best place to ask questions about Microsoft Office is Microsoft's own forums. (This link was good the last time I checked.)
