Where does pacman stores downloaded programs?

I am trying to use Grip but need to find the path for lame I used pacman -S lame now i need to link the encoder excutable to the full path were lame was placed by pacman
Thanks

Pacman downloads packages to /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ by default. Pacman then unpacks them and installs them on your system. If you need to find the full path to an executable, use the "which" command:
which lame
That will display the full path to lame. To see the full path to all files belonging to lame, you could do this:
pacman -Ql lame

Where does mail store downloaded photos

Where does mail store downloaded photos?

If I understood you... you can export your entire iPhoto library to an external Hard Drive? I could only see import option...
You're welcome. Yes, that is correct. In iPhoto, File > Export... > Select external drive.
You said your drive has to be specially formatted - is that for if you want to export your photos to that drive? Or do you mean if you wanted the iPhoto library to be located primarily on the hard drive?
I meant the latter > specifically, your external drive would need to be formatted in this manner if you wanted your primary iPhoto library to reside on an external drive and function correctly. This format is the format of your MBP's internal drive.
Format the drive as FAT32 using disk utility to make the drive universally compatible between OSX/windows. Place the JPEG images on the drive. Transfer between machines with no problem.

[SOLVED] where does pacman keep downloaded packages?

Stupid question, I know - but I seem to be having a tough time finding the docs or config that describes where pacman stores the downloaded packages during upgrades and installs.

Right on, thanks guys. I had even looked in /etc/pacman.conf and somehow still missed it... sheesh.

Where does pacman saves the downloaded stuff?

When I first installed a program, it installed but pacman needed to download things, I then remove it but... When I re-install it again, pacman doesn't need to download the things any more...
Where does pacman store the downloaded stuff?
How do I get rid of them?

/var/cache/pacman/pkg
pacman -Sc or pacman -Scc
i recommend -Sc , -Scc can be harmful in the long run if you ever need to downgrade a package

Where does Firefox store images saved as desktop wallpaper?

Where does Firefox store images saved as desktop wallpaper? i was playing around with windows theme and I can't find the wallpaper that was displayed before.

Firefox saves downloads to wherever you specify. Check your settings in Tools > Options > General, Download section. If you have it set to "Always ask me where to save files", then only you know where they were saved.

Where does Iphoto store ratings, arrangement of photos, events, libraries?

Hi, I currently have Leopard, I was planning on doing a clean install with Snow Leopard soon. Afterwards I plan on restoring Iphoto back to the way it was. I have a 70 gb library and importing my photos, rearranging the events, photos, and libraries would take ages if I had to start from scratch. I have my whole computer backed up using Carbon Copy Cloner. My question is where does Iphoto store the ratings, manual arrangement of photos, events, libraries, etc? Thanks

iPhoto is a relational database program and everything is stored in the iPhoto library - it must be treated as a single entity - it is not possible to isolate components in it - simply drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the clone back to the pictures folder of the main computer
To test prior to doing an erase and install (the Mac does not have a "clean install") you can depress the option key and launch iPhoto and select the backup copy and test it - be sure to do an option launch and paint back to the main library afterwards

Where does mavericks store photo files

where does mavericks store photo files.

where does mavericks store photo files.
This will depend on how the photos are imported to your Mac.
For photos, that you import to your iPhoto library see Terence Devlin's excellent user tips:
iPhoto and File Management
How to Access Files in iPhoto
For downloaded files see Niel's answer, and for many other applications you are free to pick a folder in the finder to store the photos. The default folder, where most applications will look for photos is your Pictores fold run your Home folder.

[solved] Where does yaourt store packages it creates from AUR ?

Hi !
Using yaourt for AUR access, pretty happy with it, too (most features & fast enough for me).
Now when I install something from the AUR, I'd like to keep a backup copy of the package (handy especially for some git / svn packages that do not always build). This leads to the question, where does yaourt store the packages before installing (should be able to grab a copy then ...) ? Or does yaourt itself keep a backup copy somewhere, like pacman does ?
Thanks, A.

Where does Messages store attachments on the iPad?
some photos are quite large, so it would be good to know where they go, and how to manage the app.... ;)

Managing memory usage is not possible because the user does not have access to the file structure (unless you have jail broken your iPad that is).

Where does iPhone store backups in Mac and Windows?

Can the location be changed?
Thanks!

Mac:
Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows:

(Note you may need to turn on show hidden files and folders to see it on Windows)
As far as I know, you can't change it.
Good Luck!

Where does EBS store customized LOV elements?

Dear All,
We are developing a report on EBS r12 >> Payables >> Payments screen.
The Functional Consultants Team added a DFF ( view_inv_pay.DESC_FLEX ) with only 1 segment and its description at the Invoice Payment block level ( VIEW_INV_PAY )
which synchronizes with each matched row in this block.
The values of the DFF come by selecting from an attached customized List of value that the Functional Consultants Team had populated its elements using data loader.
We have a requirement to display the DESCRIPTION of DFF segment in the report not its actual value.
So the question is:
Where does EBS store the data related to a customized LOV ?
And how to join between the LOV’s under laying tables and the below report tables
( AP_CHECKS_ALL AC , HZ_PARTIES HZP , AP_SUPPLIERS PV , GL_DAILY_CONVERSION_TYPES GDCT , AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL AIP , AP_INVOICES_ALL AI ) to display the DFF description?
Since, only the actual DFF values are stored in AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL table.

Dear Sandeep,
That is great, but what about the joining condition.
I know that i can join by the segment value in the AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL table
to be like below:
SELECT ffv.flex_value, ffv.description
FROM fnd_flex_values_vl ffv, fnd_flex_value_sets ffvs , AP_INVOICE_PAYMENTS_ALL API
WHERE ffvs.flex_value_set_id = ffv.flex_value_set_id
and API.SEGMENT1 = FFV.FLEX_VALUE ; -- Assuming that the actual DFF value stored in SEGMENT1
AND ffvs.flex_value_set_name LIKE '&value_set' But for tuning issues is there any an alternative to previous condition?

Where does Keynote store the audio files in a presentation

I have slides with individual audio files. When I import or attach the file and then save the presentation, it changes the file name to .mov extension. Where does Keynote store those files? I would like to edit the saved Keynote version, but cannot locate the .mov file!

I'm not exactly sure of what you want to do, and I'm not sure if my answer is the most efficient, or even wholly correct, but here goes ...
When you save a KN presentation (a KN doc) which includes an audio (or movie) file, you can save it 2 (3?) ways: either without or with the file being copied into the document, or as a "package". In a test file I just made with 3 white slides (title, slide with song, second slide with song) the results:
without: 3.8 MB; with: 9.4 MB; package: 9.4 MB. The essential difference, aside from size, is that if saved without, if you play the KN on another machine which doesn't have those audio files on it, the audio won't be there. To make the KN truly portable, you must save with, or as a package. (I'm not too sure of the concept of package in KN. In PP, saving as a package means you end up with a folder, which contains the PP and the media files, each as separate entities. Saving a KN package yields not a folder but a file, which looks to me identical to the result achieved by simply saving with, and seems to behave identically, as well.) The audio file you used will in any case remain where it was before you used it, but, if the KN doc is saved with, or as a package, a copy of it will go into the KN doc.
But then, what do you mean by "edit"? What do you want to edit, the KN presentation, or the audio file within it? If the former, I don't understand where the problem might be. If the latter: using the QT inspector within KN, you can change the length of the audio file (where in the song it starts and stops), whether to start it on click, or automatically after transition, or to loop it. If you wanted to do some other, more exotic audio editing, like reverbs or other effects, I'd do that on (a copy of) the original audio file (found wherever it was before) with another app (GarageBand, for instance), and then I'd replace the first, non-edited, version of the audio file in the KN doc with that.
Have I missed something?
Message edited by gbdoc: maybe someone will chime in to clarify the difference between "saved with" and a "package"

Where Does Lightroom Store Catalogs, Previews, and Backups?

1. By default, where does LR store:
a. Catalogs (.lrcat)
b. Previews (.lrdata)
c. Backups of Catalogs and Previews
2. Can these locations be changed?
2a. If so, how does one specify where LR will store each of the above?
3. Is there a specific relationship of location the Catalog, the Preview, and the Backups, or any partial combination of those three, must remain in?
3a. If so, what is/are that/those relationships?

a) By default in the Lightroom folder within My Pictures / Pictures
b) Always in the same folder as the catalogue
c) Wherever you tell it - which should be somewhere different. No backup of Previews.
Re 2, just move the catalogue in Explorer / Finder, double click it. If you didn't move the Previews, LR starts a new one in the same folder as the catalogue, following (b) above.
Re 3, answered above. Backups can / should be elsewhere and it's your choice where.
Notice that in Catalog Settings there's a Show button that reveals where your catalogue is.

Where does iPhone store contacts?

Hello,
I will be in a different country for a few days and I will buy a SIM card from a different operator over there.
Where does iPhone store contacts? Will my contacts stay on the phone with the new SIM card?
Thank you.

Contacts are stored on the device. The iPhone does not store contacts on the SIM. Make sure you have been backing up the device and syncing your contacts with a supported application on the computer or iCloud or other cloud service. Changing the SIM will not affect your contacts.

Where Does Mountain Lion Download To?

I'm in the process of downloading ML so taht I can create a second bootable drive. Where does the ML download go to? I' ve looked several times throguh my downloads folder but I don't see it in there.
Thanks!

In the Applications folder.
You can make a backup or a bootable installer disk BEFORE you install ML: after the install the installer is gone.
Use Lion Diskmaker, works for ML too.
