Where do I find settings to avoid saving duplicate copies of files

I have just about had it with this overpriced piece of ####, but my wife loves it and this is her machine.
I see there are numerous copies of the same file in the same directory\folder. (documents, pictures, you name it)
Is there someplace I can set the system to challenge when someone attempts to save or copy a file to a folder in which a file with that same name already exists?
Thank you for you help

I don't quite understand the question; the only way a file can be saved with the same name in the same folder (directory) is if it's saved as a different file type (i.e. with a different file extension).
So you can have fred.jpg and fred.tif and fred.pdf all in the same folder, but trying to save any one of them with the same extension will bring up the warning dialogue asking if you want to replace the original.
Saving as a copy will modify the name to fred copy.jpg for example.

    In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, I receive a message "In Settings, uncheck the "Use system and document fonts" message.  Seems simple, but I can't find a "Settings" menu option.

  • Where do I find the Adobe pdf 9.0 printer description file and how do I install it?

    Where do I find the Adobe pdf 9.0 printer description file and how do I install it? Operating system is Windows 7 and I have Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 installed. Adobe Acrobat X Pro just updated to version 10.1.8

    Hi. Thanks for the replyl
    I'm in prepress, working mainly with Quark XPress for advertising files and with Word, Photoshop, everything, for many years. My older computer is the workhorse with Quark 6.5 and CS4 and OSX 10.4.11. Everything is set up for me to produce PDF x1a files by printing .ps files from Quark and Word, and InDesign.
       My newer computer, OSX 10.9.4, must now be used to a greater extent. So I have Quark 9 and 10 and now Creative Suite for the Cloud. But I don't have any Adobe PDF printer which I select when I print .ps files and place into my Distiller Watched Folder. I by pass selecting the Adobe PDF printer in Word and just print straight to .ps. The .ps file just sits in the Watched Folder and no longer flows into Distiller, processed and out. Is this the way of the future? I just want a smooth, fast flow for PDF's. I want them to be PDF x1a compliant for hi-quality printing.
    Thought you might help to give me info as to how one uses Distiller (or not) with the new operating system and latest programs. Can't seem to find any info as of yet by searching the Adobe FAQ's and the Internet in general.
    Thanks alot.

  • Where can I find VI Description & usage for VIs in Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\vi.lib\variable

    In the the said folder are many VIs.  They are all part of the NI_Variable.lvlib.    However there is no help or description (context help just shows the terminals and names) for many of these VIs.  Where can you find more 'help' on these VIs, the block diagram is password protected.

    Hi phillman,
    If there is no detailed help in the LabVIEW help, or on ni.com, you will probably need to ask about specific VIs for more detailed information. I would first search the LabVIEW help and the website, however.
    Let me know if you have specific VI questions!
    Take care!

  • Distributi​on settings are not saved in a .cds file

    I have successfully created a distribution for my CVI8.0 application, and deployed it with no problems.  However, although the settings work, a .cds file never gets created - I checked in the directory.  When I close CVI and start it up again, it complains that the .cds file is missing.  My distribution settings are gone, and I have start all over again, from 'Manage Distributions > Add' etc.
    I want to be able to save my distribution settings.
    The only way I have found to make CVI create a .cds file on the disc, is to go through the process, then click 'remove'.  Then I get a prompt 'Save changes to the distribution?', when I click yes, the file gets created.  After that, I can add it back in again.  Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
    Dave

    Hi Dave,
    In 8.0, the expected behavior is that any new/editted distribution is saved to disk (as a .cds file) when you OK the Manage Distributions dialog.  It is also saved if you edit it from the Distributions>>Edit <name> menu item.  I am unable to naively reproduce the problem you describe.  Even looking at the source code, there is not an obvious scenario that might produce the behavior you describe.
    If you could check a few things for me, it might help me figure out how this is happening.
    1. Confirm that you have CVI 8.0 (not 8.0.1).
    2. What is the path of the .cds file?  Is there anything noteworthy about this path or the drive?
    3. Try creating a distribution for one of our shipping samples (e.g. CVI80\samples\apps\finger.prj), and see if you have the same problem.
    4. Make sure this happens even when you don't edit or build the new distribution.  That is, hit the New button on the Manage Distributions dialog, OK the New Distribution dialog, OK the Edit Installer dialog, and OK the Manage Distributions dialog.
    Also, please let me know your OS version and what other NI software, if any, you have installed.
    Thanks.

  • Where can I find a tool to assemble PDFs from seperate files programatically?

    Good morning all,
    I have an interesting question for you all.
    We use a large number of PDF forms in our business. As our business has increased over the years, these forms have become very involved and fairly complicated to the point where we have dozens of potential variations.
    Up until now, we have just created four or five basic configurations and then our HD has been removing uneeded portions for final use. This has gott3en to the point where it is too complicated to go on this way so we are looking for a better solution.
    Our forms break out into four basic sections:
    Legal section (different for each form)
    Basic agreement (three variations)
    Schedules (several varations)
    End customer agreement (one version for all)
    Here is the question...Is there a third party app out there that aloow us to create a web page or Sharepoint site where our users could select one from Column A, one from column B, three from column C and one from column D and assemble them into a single PDF?
    I realize that we can technically do that with Acrobat but we don't want to buy licenses for the who team and we would like some kind of enterprise type tool.
    One other consideration, in order for our customers to be able to fill out these forms and save their changes locally, we do add form fields to the docs and save them with Adobe extended features. If we save the various pieces with the extended features active, can we then assemple the pieces into a whole and still retain that feature?
    The goal will be to generate a PDF with the extended features actuve that our user can then save and email to our customer, ready to use
    Last item, is it possible in the above scenario to create our piece-part PDFs with a place holder that could be used to insert a logo into as part of the above described process?
    I know, three questions in one post...I will take any answers to any portion that I can get.
    Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
    Best regards to all,
    Steve

  • HT4999 I have a new phone and a new computer.  Where can I find the downloads for the latest operating system files.  thanks

    I have a new I phone and a new computer.  I don't know where to get the download files for the lates operating system.

    To update iOS on an iPhone not running iOS 5 or later, connect the iPhone to iTunes and under the Summary tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select Update. If there is an update avaiable, you should be prompted automatically.
    If the iPhone is running iOS 5 or later, the same applies along with another option which can be done direct with the iPhone.
    Would you like a link to the iPhone user guide where this is covered? Apple also includes a Safari bookmark with Safari on an iOS device for easy access to the user guide on the device.
