creating a file of user preferences

Hi, all.

I just got a request to record a few parameters of the program and read these settings at startup. Looks like I need to create a preferences file. (If there is a better way, please advise.)

I don't know anything about this. All the words of wisdom? My first thought would be XML, but it seems that I'l have to install device drivers to use it.

1. good idea idea/bad?

2. where normally go the preference files?

3. preferences generally invisible removal or somehow made not modifiable by the user?

Entry on this, or what, would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi Anthony,.

    You must go to the location: admin/Users / / Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom

    Hold down the CTRL key and click on Lightroom, click on read the information and click the permissions tab.

    Provide the permissions to read and write to your identifier and then close.

    Then reopen Lightroom. You should be able to open Lightroom.

    Hello
    The best practice would be to create the file in My Documents for the user currently logged in windows.

    Unfortunately, you did not mention your version of forms. In an older version like 6.x it is function in the library of d2kwutil called Read_Registry in the win_api_environment section, and in the more recent versions the same availble function in the library webutil to client_ name.

    So, you can read the registry database for the current logged in user using the function mentioned above of the location next to the register.
    My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell folders

    There is an entry named personal. Read the path of this entry when running while generating / record file to the customer's location and save the file in this path.

  • Photoshop CS3 freezes when opening/creating new files

    My system: Mac OSX 10.5.8, 2.1 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

    Whenever I try to open the files or create new files, the program crashes / freezes. I have Google'd and found similar problems, yet I have not yet capitalized on the realization of a complete restoration. I recently installed a new driver of LEXMARK printer and I found that this could be my problem. I started to remove printers drivers and preferences of adobe to solve half of my problem. CS3 is now blocking half the time when you create a new document and crashes everytime I try to open a document. Sometimes when I'm really able to start a new document, I can open documents, which is rather strange. I must be missing something to delete of what is the driver installed, or there must be something else I'm missing.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled, but that did nothing. I created a new user account and tried to work the program in there, but it still crashes. Illustrator and InDesign work very well. I need immediate help to continue the work for the clients, please help as soon as possible. Thank you.

    Since us don't know not what the Lexmark driver leads to freezing, we do not know if reinstalling it reintroduced the problem or not.

    You should probably talk to Lexmark on the printer driver and the problems it poses.

  • Is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?

    Hello world!

    Quick question here: is there a way I can share files between users on the same Mac without an internet connection?

    I have two users say that A and B. If I go the long way via the 'Go' menu > 'Computer', I ended up being told to contact my computer or the network administrator for assistance. Both users are admin one and file sharing is allowed in system preferences... I have to admit that I use 10.9.5 because my MacBook Pro would not work with OS Xs national parks.

    Any ideas would be cool because I'm sure that it used to work fine with "Snow Leopard" without being connected to the internet - or should I just send an email to myself and recover the files on the other user :-) to recover my USB is

    Choose go to folder from the Finder Go menu, provide/Users/Shared/as the path and place the files.

  • Cannot create the file

    Hello

    I am trying to add a data logging module in a VI that works ok. But no matter what I try, the data is not stored in the selected file. I added a screenshot of the block diagram.

    The problem seems to be that Labview is unable to create a file. When I add any path of the file, the user should be prompted where to save the file, but this never happens. When I add a file path/name, Labview seems to ignore it. No matter if the file already exists, or if it must be created by Labview, the file is not created/saved.

    The mistakes that I've met:

    -L' 7 - file not found error: when I add a path to the block "create file".

    -43 error - the operation was cancelled by the user (which is not true, because the user is never asked where to save the file): when I add no path to the block "create file".

    Note: the image below is part of a larger VI: it's in a flat sequence.

    Note 2: I'm under LabView 2012, with the realtime module.

    Note 3: the rest of the program works well, we measure the data without problem, but nothing is currently connected.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply.

    We communicate with a device ethernet (CompactRIO). The project and VI however is stored and running on a pc. So as far as I understand the RT thing, we are not accusing the VI on CompactRio himself. If I choose to add a dialog box to the box 'create file', I can browse the HD of the pc through this dialog box.

    Let's go back and think about it.  For this VI, which is its target?  If it's under the lens of cRIO, then it's actually running on the cRIO.  When you do that, you have no GUI, so all the guests are concelled.

  • Creating the file must already exist

    The problem that I am struggling with, is that when you create an Excel file, the user is prompted for the file name. They can search for the file by clicking the folder icon, but once they arrive at the directory they want, if they type in a file that does not exist, LabVIEW says that the file is not found. So the user has to click on a file that already exists, and then change just the end of the file name for what they want, it's more work, I want the user to do. Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    GJ

    Check in options for any function you use pop open the file dialog box.  I bet that you have defined for existing files when it should be defined for new or existing files.

    If it is a file IO path control, right click on the Browse button and choose Properties.

  • Server 2008, XP roaming profiles and "cannot create a file when that file already exists"...

    Hi all

    I'm working on a Server 2008 domain with XP SP3 clients.  The question is: create a new user, their profile is \\server\profiles\%username% [where %nom user % is their new username!].  Security on the profile folder is set so that the administrators have full access and the user has read & execute, list folder content, read and write access.

    The user is able to login ok there is no problem with roaming profiles [otherwise, they would get a message on with a temporary profile loading] which suggests, but when they disconnect they get a message saying that some files could not be created [it varies], followed by "cannot create a file when that file already exists".

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • I'm trying to migrate data from a server to a new one with the file permissions of the files of users and records lost.

    original title: robocopy

    I'm trying to migrate data from a server to a new one with the file permissions of the files of users and records lost. So far, that's what I did, I used \\server1\share \\server2\share/sec /mir robocopy and robocopy \\server1\share \\serve2\share/e/s /copyall. It seams like they copied all files with the permissions of the user for the files, but not files. For example, if a user makes a folder with the files in the folder appear them have permissions appropriate for them but not the root folder or subfolders, they did... How can I fix this and what is the difference between / s /mir and/e/s /copyall?

    Recently purchased, this replaces a PhotoSmart HP 2570, no problem with the software install, printer setup, network (ethernet connected), etc. Print and copy of work. Did not try the fax. Scan to file (pic to file) does not create a file on the disk that you use the HP Solution Center or on the button scan Panel before starting the scan.  "Preview scan" and "launch Windows Explorer in the save location after saving the files" are both checked.  I also used different 'save locations' and even created a new subfolder "temp1" from the root C: and set security to be "full control" for all of the listed users.  During a scan, all works well until and including the scan preview projected.  When "Finish" is selected, a progress dialog box is shown with a message to «Finish the scan of the computer...» "reasonable given the"Save location"by which the progress bar gets about 2/3 full and then disappears.  Windows Explorer does not start in the save location and there is no file created anywhere on the disk.

  • Creating a file

    Hello

    I wonder anyone could tell me how to create a file with Windows 7, I have way is, if I go to a website and select an image from a plane, how to make that into a file, and then if I want to download that particular file on a site that I am building, how do I do it? I am trying to build a site of aviation and am terrible with computers, thanks for any advice you could give me.

    Hey, Airman,.

    You can save pictures on a Web page by clicking on the image you want and select "save image under...". ». This will allow you to name the file and save it to the desired location. You would not have to physically download the image to the Web page that you create. You must have hosted somewhere so your viewers would be able to access.

    Creating a website is not an easy task for a new user to the computer. I suggest you do some research or possibly buy a book on how to build a site.

    Good luck

    You need to store something in the persistent store... What's - what exactly?

  • Move the user off the system disk folders? Envy of all the data on E, so need to move directories user E. not individually, but in the world. If all new users, I create will have their user and docs folder on E.

    Got a new laptop with win 7 home premium pre-installed. Using the language of win 7... I have decreased the volume of HDD to 55 GB.  Made new simple volumes. I want all the data personal on E, so need to move user directories to E. No individually change the location tab on dozens of files, but in the world. If all new users, I create will have their user and docs folder on E from the gitgo.

    Under XP, I could just change the 'My Documents' link on each desktop, go to the e. * instead of c *. *, but with win7?

    As a Windows Home Server and most wise OS facilities, the system drive is isolated and a drive of 2 or 3 for everything else.  Get a problem? Just restore the system drive.

    You need the answer?

    PS Microsoft: This backup/do imaging software, why don't we name the image so many can all be stored on easily in one place without having to go and rename it or move them elsewhere?

    Hello TomZork,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    In another forum, I found the instructions to move folders of users to another drive.
    You can follow the post here. This is attributed to Jimmie R. Houts.

    Article:
    You can move the entire folder C:\Users to another drive quite easily once windows is installed:

    1. Boot from the installation media and access the command prompt (I think you need to click on fix everything first)
    2. Use Robocopy to copy C:\Users to D:\Users: robocopy c:\Users d:\Users /mir /xj
      a. /mir says robocopy to mirror directories, this will copy all files and permissions
      b. /xj is very important, it means robocopy does not follow the points of junction. If you forget this, you will have a lot of trouble.
    3. Make sure that the files copied successfully
    4. Delete c:\Users
    5. Create the junction pointing d:\Users: mklink /d c:\Users d:\Users

    That's all. I used this process for Vista RTM with no problems.

    Here's an article that explains as well. Just use robocopy instead of xcopy as it does in the article in order to avoid possible ntfs permissions problems.

    Update: because I discovered the hard way, I thought I would mention also that if you plan on switching "Program Data", or "Program Files" with this method, you will be disappointed to know that everything works as expected, but the windows updates will install is no longer. I don't know if this problem has been fixed in Win 7.

    With the foregoing, it is not a Microsoft forum or Web site so you will have to use at your own risk. I also recommend to do a system restore point before making any changes in directories that you can then go back to a previous state.

    Please reply back and let us know if these suggestions help you to solve your problem, then to benefit others.
