Why Two Presets Folders?

I just did a clean install of Photoshop CS6 and I notice it created a Presets folder here:
HardDrive > Users > "Me" > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CS6 > Presets
(the only other folder in that location is one named "AutoRecover")
Of course, I also have my normal customized Presets in the following location:
HardDrive > Applications > Adobe Photoshop CS6 > Presets
I have always used/modified my presets in the second location listed - so what is the bare-bones Presets folder for in Application Support? What is that needed?

If you intend to use the migration scripts, do use the user folder.
I'm wondering if the applications folder is not useful especially for machines with different users that need to share them. (I know that windows have a shared folders, is there such a thing on a Mac?

  • Two template folders created??

    I am completely stumped.  I CANNOT update my child pages that are linked to templates.
    I am very new to Dreamweaver CS4 along with web design in general and have created a fairly straight-foward site (nothing fancy). 
    My confusion comes from Dreamweavers folder (path???) structure.  I have created two templates that are linked to the webpages but I have TWO template folders.
    I am certain I am getting the jargon wrong, but why did DW create two template folders and which one do I update and "put" onto my server?
    It seems nothing I do makes changes on my site and the more I read, the more confused I'm getting about the template path..lol..I am truely getting lost and flustered.
    I'm not even sure what information to include to assist in someone helping me.  If someone could explain the folder path in plain english I would be grateful.
    My folder structure looks like this:
    Site - nss
         File Uploads
         H&S Manual
         Inserts for Folders
         NSS Web
              Templates
         Templates
         Toolbox Talks
    There are more folders under NSS Web but I wanted to illustrate where DW has put the two Template folders.  Both template folders contain the same two template pages (.dwt files)
    Thank you in advance,
    Mike

    DW will place the templates folder under the root directory. While working in the NSS Web directory, DW has thought that NSS Web was the root directory.
    Personally I would use the template that resides within the Templates directory that resides under Site.

  • Why does Local Folders not show up when I install Thunderbird on certain computers?

    I've installed Thunderbird on my computer and it looks normal with "Local Folders" showing up in the left pane. I didn't add an email account, I just installed Thunderbird and an add-on called ImportExport tool and left it with only Local Folders. But when I try to do the same thing and install it on someone else's computer to help them import an .mbox file, when I install Thunderbird on their computer, "Local Folders" is not there. The left pane is just completely blank. And it looks like I can't import an .mbox file without it being there. I tried installing it on another laptop too and the same thing happened with no Local Folders. Why is "Local Folders" not showing up for these other two computers?

    I circumvented the problem by copying the c:\users\username\appdata\local\thunderbird folder and the c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\thunderbird folder from my working PC to the nonworking computers, and Local Folders appeared in Thunderbird on those computers. It seems like these files aren't being generated properly on installation.
    I tried uninstalling Thunderbird from my working PC and reinstalling it again to see what would happen (after also deleting those two appdata folders so that fresh ones would be created), and this time Local Folders did not appear on my PC as well. I don't think I did anything different during installation either. So I'm not sure why the Local Folders are no longer being generated at installation.

  • In my firefor options window I have two zipped folders one allows me to brows and see what is inside the other does not give me this option. how can I see what is inside please?

    Are you talking about MyWebSearch toolbar (http://help.mywebsearch.com/sbar2.html#q1) which offers apps such as Smiley Central, Cursor Mania???
    If yes, uninstallation instructions are here - (http://help.mywebsearch.com/sbar2.html#q4). Could you provide me some details about the ZIP folders. If I get a screenshot, I can help you very well.

  • I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?

    I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?

    Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
    I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
    I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

  • How did I get two "home folders"?

    I suddenly got into problems with my backup because the home folder did not have the usual content. When I try to see what happened, it looks like I have two "home" folders.
    When I select Go>Home from the men, it looks like this:
    And when I click on the Data drive below the Data folder, it looks like this:
    The juliusson-folder in the second image is the one that I thought was the home folder. It contains the stuff that I want to back up.
    Can someone see from this what could be wrong? I don't really know how it should look.
    When this happened, I also lost my user settings.

    I don't know if I moved the Home folder out of the start up drive on purpose It could have been part of my original configuration.
    I set up my computer years ago by following some online instructions for an optimised set up for Photoshop work. I have three drives installed. One 1TB drive and two 2TB drives. The instructions that I followed were meant to put the system and programs on one drive (also used as scratch drive) and then have images and other stuff on the other two. Those two were set up as a mirrored RAID configuration.
    Everything has worked fine for over three of years. Could the problems be caused by an accidental folder move?
    It's hard to understand how an accidental folder move would cause this - the home folder path is also set within the system configuration. That means you can't just use any old folder as the home folder location.
    I guess it's possible an accident moved it, but then there would have been some user interaction to have agreed to use it in the new location. It seems likely that you somehow managed to use the OS when the Data disk was offline - the folder got created in place of the old home folder, that caused a new one to be made (new home folders get the default template with Desktop, Documents, Music, Pictures etc).
    Have you got another user account on the system? Is that user an admin?  Does that user work OK?
    You will need an admin account to fix this issue, please create one & leave the home folder for the admin on the main boot disk.
    Do you have any data that you need within the current home folder (the new one inside the Data folder)?
    Your original settings will be saved in the original home folder, but that is not being used at present. If you can abandon the new home folder here is what I suggest…
    Disable automatic login if it is enabled - you need to stop logging in as 'juliusson' whilst you fix this, it can be re-enabled when it is fixed.
    Create a new admin user account in 'System Preferences > User & groups', this is as a backup to allow you to manage the computer whilst fixing the home folder.
    Reboot, login as the new admin account.
    In 'System Preferences > User & groups', unlock the panel with the admin password (click the padlock)
    Select the 'juliusson' user account, right click (or ctrl+click) the name & select 'Advanced Options…' in the popup.
    Look at the 'Home Directory:' path. That needs to be set to the old location. By default that should be /Users/juliusson, yours looks like it should be  /Volumes/Data/juliussonIf you are unsure use the Finders 'Go menu > Go to Folder…' to open '/Volumes/Data/juliusson' confirm that it contains some of your old user files.*
    Save the correct path in the 'Home Directory' setting & reboot (do not edit any other Advanced fields)
    *NOTE: In steps 6 you probably will not see the correct path since the Data folder is occupying the same location that the Data disk uses. To get around this you will need to rename the Data folder insider /Volumes, and reboot. I'd suggest you move the user home inside the Data folder to a new location as a backup & then delete the entire Data folder in /Volumes/. A reboot will be required to allow the Data disk to mount into the /Volumes/Data location. Once it mounts correctly login should work.
    You can merge the home folders as Barney suggested, but this is probably safest via a manual approach unless you are willing to spend time & are experienced in comparing files with apps the can do selective copying (ChronoSync for example).
    Please ask if you are unsure about any of this - it's major changes to your user data setup - a full backup is essential before beginning. Setting the home path is the correct way to relocate a home folder once the data is moved.

  • I seem to have two home folders?

    I don't know how this happened (perhaps when I upgraded to Tiger?), but I seem to have two home folders.
    The “real” one has the “house” icon and is in the proper place: Macintosh Hard Drive > Users > tim (my username). The duplicate does not have the house icon and is at the root level of my HD.
    Both folders have mostly the same contents: ViaVoice, Sites, Public, Pictures, Music, Movies, Desktop, Documents, Library. The differences are that the “real” home folder (the one with the house icon) has icons on all of the subfolders too, while the “fake” one has blank subfolders. The real folder has the actual contents of my desktop in its desktop folder while the fake one does not. The “fake” home folder, however, has a crossed out pencil icon at the top of the window (meaning the folder is unchangeable?).
    Is it safe to delete the “fake” home folder and how do I do so?
    Thanks.

    It should be perfectly safe to trash the "fake", as it cannot possibly be being used, after checking (you've already done it, I'm sure) that it contains nothing you want.
    Have a Finder window open so that you can see the "fake". Launch Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
    rm -R
    Type a <space> after the R
    Drag the "fake" folder into the Terminal window. The folder will not move, but the line in Terminal will now be completed with the path to the "fake". Hit <return>.
    If the "fake" has gone that's it. If there is an error message in Terminal then do exactly the same, but using:
    sudo rm -R
    …<space>, drag folder. After hitting <return> you will get a "password:" prompt. Type carefully (it will not show on screen), hit <return> again. Poof!

  • I only want itunes to hold the lossless files which are in two different folders. How do I do that?

    I have thousands of MP3 files which I no longer use and which are in my itunes library.
    I want itunes (version 11) to have in it's library only the MS Lossless format and the ALAC lossless format which are in two different folders. How do I achieve this?

    Delete the files you don't want, or cut & paste them to an alternate location if you want to archive them.
    What MS Lossless format? .wav?
    iTunes doesn't have any custom organization features, but you can change the location of the media folder and then selectively consolidate content to the new folder. This creates copies so you have to manually delete the originals. Alternatively I have a script called ConsolidateByMoving which does what it suggests. Thiis could be used to split the media into parallel subfolders within your existing media folder if you disable iTunes "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" option.

  • One file to two different folders simultaneously?

    Is there a way to copy one file to two different folders simultaneously?
    Maybe a script?
    Drew

    Thanks for the response Baltwo.
    Maybe I shouldnt have said 'simultaneously'.
    What I'm trying to achieve is this.
    I drop a file into one folder and it automatically copies to ano folder (a redundant back up of the first folder)
    Is that possible at all?

  • Publish to two local folders in iWeb

    Title says it all. How can i publish to two local folders in iWeb?
    I have iWeb '08.

    If you are referring to being able to publish two websites to different local folders, the way to go is have each site on a separate Domain file so that they can be launched in iWeb and published separately.
    See under "Separate Domain Files" here...

  • Two music folders with some of the same music.

    How do I combine two music folders (one is on my pc, the other is on my external HD). The external HD is for back up, but I have since added 7gb of music on my PC. Short of going folder by folder to copy and drag, is there an easier way to combine the folders with out doubling up what is in both spots?

    IF you are going from PC to external then drag the whole library to the external drive and andwer no when asked if you want to copy over existing files. That's how I do it. No duplication and only the new songs actually copy.

  • Preset folders missing lr 5.7

    I have lr 5.7 running on a macbook pro.  running osX 10.9.5  i'm an experienced LR user.  
    I was importing new presets from onOne software.   I have a lot of presets.  some time during the process,  I have lost the links to
    most all my preset folders from the Presets bar. on the left side of the window, in the Develop module.   if I go to finder and search for "lrtemplate"  I
    seem to find all the folders and presets, yet LR doesn't show them?  Also it seems no matter what catalog I open,  the photos are now marked as "missing"  "!"
    but I can go find them again on my hard drive.  how do I get LR to recognize all my previous presets.   I have  rebooted my computer, and
    also restarted LR several times.    how do I  fix this?
    thanks

    Did you move the presets or the photos?
    LR looks in one dedicated folder for the presets and alike. You can check the location of this folder from the preferences dialog (.. open folder ..).
    If LR can not find a photo it show shows the exclamation mark. Right-click on the photo and select the option to relocate it.
    Before doing this, please check in the folder panel if one of the folder has an exclamation mark. If yes, right-click on the folder and update it's path before doing this for every photo.
    Keep ion mind that all file handling should be done from within LR, and never with finder.

  • Two Media Folders? Different artwork for screensaver

    Hi all,
    Setup:
    - Macbook Air
    - Yosemite, OS X 10.10
    - iTunes 12.0.1.26
    - External HD
    - Match subscriber
    I have set up iTunes to have my media folder located on a portable hard drive and the library files (.itl, .xml, artwork etc) on the local machine.  I use the iTunes artwork as a screensaver.
    I have spent the past couple of months recovering from a corrupted .itl file.  It wasn't the end of the world, all my media is on an external drive and I am also a Match subscriber, but I took the opportunity to run TuneUp Media over the library as I re-imported it to clean up track metadata, remove duplicates and so forth.
    During this process I have uploaded clean songs to Match and I have downloaded songs that were somehow not in my library after I re-imported the music on my external hard drive.
    For a fair while after doing all this work I noticed that I did not get any artwork for my screensaver if the external hard drive was not plugged in - which I found odd, given the artwork is stored on the local machine (or at least it seems to be).   Then I noticed I had a small amount of artwork showing repetitively on the screensaver... 
    As I investigated this it seems I have two Media folders.  One on the local Macbook and one on the external hard drive.   The media folder on the local macbook contains songs that I have downloaded from iTunes Match as part of cleaning my library and Audiobooks that I have downloaded from Audible and then imported into iTunes.
    If I look for a track that is stored in the media folder on the local machine, and then right-click on that track in iTunes to select "show in finder" it shows me that the media file is located on the External HD.  
    So it appears I files I am downloading from iTunes Match or adding from Safari are now being imported into a local "media" folder and then "consolidated" onto the External HD leaving them in both directories.
    I'd like to not have duplicate data files and I would also like to get my entire iTunes artwork to show in screensaver when I do not have the External HD connected to the machine.
    Does anyone have any advice?

    If you store Album artwork the way i described using Command I (get info) - then the artwork is actually EMBEDDED in each song and is carried with that song wherever it goes.. and in this case it doesnt matter if u had 3 copies of the same album - all identical. You could even save a diff image for each tarck if u wanted.
    If there is no artwork embedded, then coverflow places the image in a separate folder that is only referenced by iTunes for the whole CD.
    You also might want to turn off coverlfow and continue doing what u had been doing in the past - add you won.
    I also think i know what may be happening. You say they are identical except for track 2 - But problem is - I don't think iTunes can handle 2 identical CD's from the same artist.
    Here's an experiment:
    Goto any of the songs.... right-click and select "Show in Finder" the Finder will open and show you the song file and its location. Do you see one album once or 1 album twice?
    If you see 2 of everything, i would recommend the following:
    Rename the first album "December (2002)" and the second "December (2006)" then iTunes will definately separate them out.

  • Why two FLOAT values are stored differently?

    Curious as to why two FLOAT values are stored differently. Inserting
    two FLOAT values one with value of 99E9 and the other with 12E-9.
    Value for 99E9 was stored in the database as 99000000000 and 12E-9
    was stored in the database as 1.2E-8. Why were they stored in
    different formats? I am using Oracle9i

  • Photoshop CS5 preset folders empty

    Went to load and or reset crop tools, brushes, etc... and when I navigate within CS5 to those folders, all are empty.  If I navigate not from Photoshop but directly from My Computer to the Preset folders, they are there, but not when I navigate within PS.... and the navigation is correct.
    When I do place brushes in the preset folder, then navigate in PS, they are not there...  I myself have CS4 and this is not a problem.  I'm troubleshooting-working with a friend on a project and we are handcuffed with this CS5 problem...  Help!?

    What OS is your friend using?  Vista or Windows 7 by any chance?
    Assuming yes...
    I ask because UAC in these OSs does some "special" things, actually redirecting requests to access files in certain folders.  In short, Explorer and/or the file system shows them in one place when they're actually stored in another.
    I don't know if that might be what's happening here, but here's an experiment you can run:  Disable UAC (drag the slider to the "never notify" setting at the bottom), reboot, then see if the problem persists.
    The problem comes about because Photoshop has its roots in a simpler time, when the installation was done with the assumption that the one and only administrative user of the computer would be using it.
