Take Snapshot: File location change?

Whenever I take a snapshot of an iSight conversation that I'm having, the image goes directly to the desktop. Can I assign a folder location to where my snapshots will automatically save to?

Index and Paging file location change

Gurus,
I wanted to change the location of the .ind and .pag files. Right now it is in the D drive in the default location. I would like to change it to a different drive. How could I achieve it.
Thanks

Hello,
Yes you can do that.
Login to the essbase and go to the application -> database.
Right click on the database. Go to edit -> properties. A new window will open, go to the "Storage tab".
In the bottom side there is a details of index file and page file is given. You can set the location of the index file and page file over there.
Hope this helps.

Property file location change

Dear All,
I want to read from a properties file (myFile.properties) using ResourceBundle. But the property file must be outside the codeBase, that is in some directory NOT in the classpath.
When I give
rb.getBundle("C:\\Mylocation\\myFile") I get java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name
Any help is sincerely appreciated.
Paras.

I found I was unable to use a bundle that was not in the classpath. This didn't work well for the WEBDESIGN team, so I ended up rewriting my own "reloadable" version of Resource Bundles (using Properties files) that accepted bundles not in the classpath and could be reset on the fly to re-read the bundles.

SWF file location changes in Firefox.

www.FortConcho.com
I'm needing a little help please. I have inserted a Flash header/banner at the top of my webpage. It is placed within the top cell of a three-cell table. It works fine in ALL browsers. However, when I check the site in Firefox, the top cell is "collapsed," so that the header/banner overlaps the next cell. Any idea how I can make the cell size constant?
Thanks,
Jim

Here's a thought: wrap your body content in a div:
<div id="bodywrapper"> all of your body content here </div>
where
div#bodywrapper {
     width: 800px;
     position: relative;
     margin: 0 auto;
Also, your rainbowheaderbox has a left: 12px; that you can remove to make it all align within the 800px.

How do you change file locations?

I am using Lightroom on a Mac osx. I moved all my photo files to an external hard drive. Is there a way I can update my Lightroom catalog to captur the file location change? Will all the editing info, etc., transfer as well? Please help>

Use LR to move them. If you've already moved them, use LR to locate the now-red folders (right-click on them).

Changing swap file location on tray-loader iMacs

This is not a question, but something I discovered that makes my old tray-loader iMac (the oldest iMac models) run Mac OS X much better.
As you may know, these oldest iMacs have an 8GB size limit on the boot volume. The largest stock drive on these iMacs was 6GB. That means if your upgraded hard drive is larger than 8GB, it must be partition so that the first partition is under 8GB (7.78GB on my iMac), and it must be the boot partition where the OS is installed (whether it's Mac OS X or 9).
In my case, I have a roomy 120GB hard drive (I believe the useable limit on these iMacs is 128GB). The first partition is just under 8GB, the second partition is the rest of the space, about 104GB. I have used every trick out there to move files (such as the iTunes music folder and most of my user/documents files) off to the second partition, to make free space on the boot partition as large as possible. So I have 3.5GB free on my 8GB boot partition. This is about 40% of the volume's total space so it seems pretty good, until you realize that most recent Macs have much more than the TOTAL 8GB I have, as free space on the boot volume. Mac OS X was just not designed to work well with small boot volumes...
Mac OS X uses the free space on the boot volume for its virtual memory "swap file." Considering these old iMacs max out at 512MB of RAM, virtual memory is being used quite a bit. But since space on the boot volume is very limited, low RAM and lack of free space can lead to performance issues. Here's what I observed. When I initially started up my iMac, I had about 3.5GB of free space. Over time, as I used more and more apps, that free space would diminish until I had only about 600MB remaining (as reported by a Finder window). At the same time, I noticed performance getting bogged down and more "chugging" sounds coming from the hard-working hard drive.
I've known about changing location of the swap file, but never tried it until recently. During the Mac OS X boot process, the Mac sets the location of the swap file. By default, the swap file resides on the boot volume (I believe most other Unix-based systems use a dedicated "swap partition" for the swap file). Since most recent Macs have large drives set up as one partition (and there is plenty of free space), and since many users have upgraded their RAM (and virtual memory is not as critical), swap file location is usually not an issue, and there is certainly no need to change the swap file location. However, on my iMac with an 8GB limit on the boot volume and 512MB of RAM, it made a noticeable difference.
I found one set of procedures on the web that was much better than the others I found for changing the location of the swap file.
http://www.math.columbia.edu/~bayer/OSX/swapfile/
On this page, there are two choices for Panther users. I used the one that works for both Panther and Tiger, because it appeared to me to be more straightforward. The author intentionally keeps the instructions somewhat technical to discourage users who are not technically inclined. I don't consider myself to be too "geeky," but I can follow instructions and type a few commands in Terminal.
After I changed the swap file location to a large mostly empty volume, I noticed much better performance when I have many large apps open at the same time. Performance no longer degrades over time, and the free space on my boot volume remains a constant 3.6GB.
The reason for this post is to share this information. Some users of these old iMacs may be noticing the same issues I had. This is a possible solution. However, if everything is OK with your set up, there is no reason to change the swap file location. If you try it, be sure to take the usual data backup precautions.
If anyone else has experience with changing swap file location, please post your comments here.

IPhoto won't let me change library/copy files location to exHD.

I have recently purchased an external hard drive to transfer my photos to since my internal hard drive is full. I followed the directions to copy the photos and change the library location. However, when I get about 10 minutes into the copying process an error message pops up telling me the command cannot be completed since the Finder cannot read or write some of the files (error code -36). I went into the info panel on every iPhoto folder and file in the Pictures file and changed them to read and write. It still won't allow the files to be copied to the external hard drive. What am I missing? I really need to clear up space. I only have 4 GB left on my internal drive.

The error code -36 is a I/O error. You can try the following:download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name in the owner section and Staff in the group section. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Then try copying again.
If that doesn't work you could use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library and have the rebuild library be created on the external HD. This will preserve keywords, titles, comments, albums and events. However, books, slideshows, calendars, etc. will not be preserved.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How to locate my snapshot file ?

Hi there,
I know this is an easy question but I am stuck.
I just did a snapshot & it has a camera click like sound. (I click on the small icon below the window).
Question is, how do I locate the file ?
Thanks a lot.
Cheers

Are you talking about the Export Frame button in the Program Monitor panel in Premiere Pro?
I suspect that you're not---that you're actually talking about the Take Snapshot button at the bottom of the Composition panel in After Effects.
The reason that I'm confused is that you're asking in the Premiere Pro forum, but you mentioned the button making a sound, which happens in After Effects.
Anyway, if you're talking about After Effects, the snapshots aren't written to disk; that's not what they're for. See this page.
If you're talking about Premiere Pro, just click the button again, and you'll see the path to where the exported frames are written.
Sorry Todd for the confusion.
I am actually talking about AE & I posted on the wrong section.
And thanks the answer is Compostion > Save Frame As
Thanks again

AppleScript: copy a file to a new location, changing its name

I want to copy a selected file to a new location and change its name, both location and name adjustable by the user. It would seem natural to me (a neophyte) to use the Duplicate and Choose File Name commands to do this, so this is the module I came up with:
tell application "Finder"
          set myFile to the selection
          set textsAlias to alias "Campidoglio:Users:jeffreyjdean:Dropbox:Tinctoris:Editing Software:TextToJS:texts:"
          set fileForConversion to choose file name default name "shortname.txt" default location textsAlias
          try
duplicate document file myFile to fileForConversion with replacing
          on error
                    display dialog "Error: Unable to save file."
          end try
end tell
This doesn't work. The error dialog comes up and this is the result report:
tell application "Finder"
get selection
--> {document file "12 De inventione et usu musice.txt" of folder "Edited texts" of folder "Desktop" of folder "jeffreyjdean" of folder "Users" of startup disk}
choose file name default name "shortname.txt" default location alias "Campidoglio:Users:jeffreyjdean:Dropbox:Tinctoris:Editing Software:TextToJS:texts:"
--> file "Campidoglio:Users:jeffreyjdean:Dropbox:Tinctoris:Editing Software:TextToJS:texts:shortname.txt"
-- 'core'\'clon'{ 'insh':'furl'("file://localhost/Users/jeffreyjdean/Dropbox/Tinctoris/Editing%20 Software/TextToJS/texts/shortname.txt"), 'alrp':'true'("true"), '----':'obj '{ 'form':'indx', 'want':'docf', 'seld':[ 'obj '{ 'form':'name', 'want':'docf', 'seld':'utxt'("12 De inventione et usu musice.txt"), 'from':'obj '{ 'form':'name', 'want':'cfol', 'seld':'utxt'("Edited texts"), 'from':'obj '{ 'form':'name', 'want':'cfol', 'seld':'utxt'("Desktop"), 'from':'obj '{ 'form':'name', 'want':'cfol', 's…
--> error number -1700 from {document file "12 De inventione et usu musice.txt" of folder "Edited texts" of folder "Desktop" of folder "jeffreyjdean" of folder "Users" of startup disk} to integer
display dialog "Error: Unable to save file."
--> {button returned:"OK"}
end tell
Result:
{button returned:"OK"}
Why is it telling me it can't duplicate a file to an integer? According to the AS Language Guide, the result of Choose File Name is "The selected location, as a file." How does this become an integer in my script?
That may be a side show. What I really want to work out is how to achieve the aim stated at the beginning: take a selected file (that part is working OK) and duplicate it to an arbitrary location with an arbitrary new name, decided by the user. What's the best way to go about this?
TIA,
Jeff

I think you're misinterpreting the error message.
It's not complaining about your 'Choose File Name', per se.
There are two problems with your script.
First, you:
          set myFile to the selection
As far as the Finder is concerned, 'selection' is a list. It's always a list, even if only one item is selected - heck, it's still a list if no files are selected... just an empty list.
So that's the first thing the script is complaining about - you are using a list that you're trying to coerce to a file. Can't happen.
You have a couple of options here, depending on what you want to do.
You can tell the Finder to duplicate a list - it will simply duplicate all the files in the list. It has no problem with that, although you're going to run into problems when you try to set the file name(s). This highlights one of the design flaws with your script - how do you know the user only has one thing selected? At the very least you should check how many items are selected and react accordingly.
The other option is to iterate through the list, duplicating each file in turn. Again, it's not clear what you want/expect the outcome to be here - since you include 'with replacing', you'd likely end up with one file (the last one in the list) as being the named file and all other duplicates lost.
The third option is to expect there to be one item selected, and just act upon the first one - thereby ignoring multiple selections, although it's undefined as to which item is 'first' in the list.
Your call.
Once you get over the issue of identifying what you want to duplicate, the second issue with your script is how you're calling duplicate. You cannot duplicate one file to another file name. The duplicate command expects (demands?) a directory as the 'to' parameter, not a file name.
In other words, you can duplicate a file to a new directory. You cannot duplicate it to a new file name - at least not in one step. In order to do that you need to duplicate the file, then change its name (or use a shell script to do it 'under the hood').
This is complicated by the fact that it's the rename that requires you to check for duplicates, which you have to do manually.
So given the above, and assuming you expect/want one item to be selected, your script should look more like:
tell application "Finder"
          set myFile to item 1 of (get selection) -- ignore multiple selections
          set textsAlias to alias "Campidoglio:Users:jeffreyjdean:Dropbox:Tinctoris:Editing Software:TextToJS:texts:"
          set fileForConversion to choose file name default name "shortname.txt" default location textsAlias
          set fDir to do shell script "/usr/bin/dirname " & POSIX path of fileForConversion
          set fName to do shell script "/usr/bin/basename " & POSIX path of fileForConversion
          try
                    set newFile to duplicate myFile to POSIX file fDir with replacing
                    if (exists file fName of folder fDir) then
delete file fName of folder fDir
                    end if
                    set name of newFile to fName
          on error
                    display dialog "Error: Unable to save file."
          end try
end tell
Incidentally, this is something that could be much more easily done with a shell command, since the shell isn't as sensitive about file paths and data types.

I want to change the file location for the automatic backup file bookmarks.file, but I can't find browser.bookmarks.file in the list on the about:config page.

I asked about automatic backup of bookmarks and received the following answer:You can make Firefox 3 create an automatic HTML backup (bookmarks.html) when you exit Firefox if you set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML] to true on the about:config page. That backup is created by default in the profile folder as bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and path via the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.file browser.bookmarks.file] on the about:config page. I went to about:config page and toggled browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to “Yes” and it’s working. However, I want to change the file location, but I can’t find browser.bookmarks.file in the list.

The browser.bookmarks.file preference does not exist by default. Right-click in about:config and select "New > String" to create it.

The 2 year old fix for changing temp files is no longer valid, I need to change the temp file location in the latest firefox.

In 3.6.3 I'm unable to find the parent cache to change where the temp files are located. I have an SSD drive, and I need to get the temp file off, and onto my platter drive. I have read the previous fix of about:config and changing the parent cache location, but it no longer seems to be there. I'm unable to locate anything relating to my SSD drive location in about:config.
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4

Unfortunately, it appears that what I wrote about not being able to find the location IN about:config of the cache to change it from my C: drive to a different location, was mildly misunderstood that I didn't know how to get into about:config.
The location of browser.cache.disk.parent_directory does not currently exist in 3.6.3. I'm assuming it's under a different location. Also using the simple string of "cache" lists several options, but none of them appear to be where firefox is currently dumping the temp files onto my C:
I merely need to know how to switch the temp file location from 1 drive, to another. Not downloads, the temp file.

Itunes default file location - how do i change it?

Hi, can anyone help. for some reason, itunes defaults to a folder on my works network, and so when off line at home itunes will not work. i need to change the file location so that itunes looks at my local drive and i can use it off line to upload my CD collection whilst at home. no matter what i do, it tries to look for my network folder.
it is driving me mad now so can anyone help?
thanks

I find the opposite behaviour:
In options I set drive to network, but iTunes itself changes to lokal by no recognizable reason. Everytime I set the drive location back to network, the catalog is being renewed, taking heaps of time...

Hi trshaner,
Thanks again for your complete reaction. I’ve looked at the video and the help-information. This made me decide to leave the file My pictures where it is (C) and move some of the other folders/files to the E-drive. Thanks for your help.

Changing the file location of iPhoto library...????

I have a 13' Macbook since early 2008 with an 80gb hard disk.
I also have a 500gb Time Capsule..
Due to the size of my hard disk and my music collection amassing already 80gb+ I changed the file location of the iTunes music library to the Time Capsule.. this wasn't too difficult to work out how to do, but, i now have over 50gb of photos and videos in iPhoto and do not want to delete any. This has resulted in my hard disk/start up disk being full to capacity.
I now of course need to change the location of my iPhoto library from being on the MacintoshHD to being on my Time Capsule, but unlike with iTunes i can find no way of doing this... can anybody help??
thanks in advance

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
but
1. Have you a wired or wireless connection to the Time Capsule? A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
2. Are you also using the TC for back ups? because the device is not intended for both back ups and general storage uses.

Want to change the SQL Server Agent Job History Text Files Location

We have SQL Server 2014 installed on a couple servers, but they were not consistent on directory paths during the installs. I am trying to get the servers to all match.
On one server, SQL Server the Agent Log and Job History files were being written to [H:\Data Root Directory\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log].
I want to change that to [H:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log] to match the other server.
I have ALREADY gone into SSMS - [SQL Server Agent] - [Properties] and changed the "Error Log " "Fle Name" to [H:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\SQLAGENT.OUT]. And that is working great.
In [SQL Server Configuration Manager] - [SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)] - [Properties] - Startup Parameters entries have been changed to the new path (-d, -e, and -l), and under [Advanced] both Data Path and Dump Directory are pointing to the new path.
In [SQL Server Configuration Manager] - [SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)] - [Properties] - [Advanced] Dump Directory is pointing to the new path.
However, the job's History text files are still being written to the old path.
There is no setting in the Jobs or the Maintenance Plans that controls the history file location.
I have searched the registry and changed three settings from the old path to the new path. The registry does NOT contain any more references to the old path.
I rebooted the server, but when the jobs run their history text files are still be written to the old path.
Does anybody have any ideas?? Thanks

I checked the [Job] - [Step] - [Advanced ] - "Output File", and the field is blank.
I then reviewed all the tabs and left menu items in the Job...I cannot find any where the references the old path.
I then went to the Maintenance Plan and checked every thing there. Still cannot find what is referencing this old path.
SQL Server is also still writing xel files to this old path...if that offers any clues.
The text file being generated is the recap of the Job run. Starts with this:
Microsoft(R) Server Maintenance Utility (Unicode) Version 12.0.2430
Report was generated on "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx".
Maintenance Plan: SQL_Backups_Log
Duration: 00:00:03
Status: Succeeded.

Thanks for the ideas....
