Remember the last folder location lost with Mac Lion updates

Since the Lion or Mountain Lion, we had an annoying problem where the last folder location is not known in Illustrator. For example what update of links on several files, here for the location of the folder back to the last, was used, but that would be at certain levels of file 3 superior.

Found

solves this problem. But in the hope that someone else has another solution to have to buy for each computer would get expensive for somethng that used to work. The software seems also to have thing not updated in a time long and do not want a solution that will not last.  Am on 10.8.2.

This version allows you to choose on the image in order to replace all your images selected in the artboard, with this one, you don't need screening, right?

#target Illustrator

// script.name = relinkAllSelected_v3.jsx;
// script.description = relinks all selected placed images at once with a single file;
// script.required = select at least one linked image before running;
// script.parent = CarlosCanto // 7/12/11;  version 3 - 07/25/13
// script.elegant = false;

var idoc = app.activeDocument;
sel = idoc.selection;

if (sel.length>0) {
    var file = File.openDialog ("Select file to replace all selected placed files");
    if (file!=null) {// skip if user Cancels
        file = new File(file.fsName.replace("file://","")); // Mac OS Lion fix by John Hawkinson

  • Do not remember the last folder that I exported the export

    I could swear that before I updated to Lightroom 2015.6 remind the last file I exported a file. I have now is having, navigate to the folder that I want and it's really annoying!

    My settings for this preset have no marked record because I always do not export this type of file in the same place. Does anyone know how can I fix?

    Screen Shot 2016-07-06 at 3.38.21 PM.png

    EDIT 3: FOUND!

    It is certainly a problem with the preset export settings. It turns out that, for some reason, Lr has launched a range with a 'destination of export' in all my Presets to export with the path to the folder that I mentioned in my first post. After erasing my old presets and creating a couple of new everything returned to normal, but as soon as I imported an old export preset and tried to use my "HD wallpapers" folder (Fondos HD in Spanish) would jump up on top of each export with this preset.

    So I opened and former export preset and another with "textedit" to see what was different and, of course, there was a line that should not be there...

    Note that on the former and before the 'export destination type = choose later' there is a "path of export destination prefix = /...» " line that is missing on the new preset, I created.

    FORMER Preset:

    NEW preset:

    I have not found a solution outside don't erase this line manually or simply redo all the presets, but at least I know how what is happening and how to fix it (unless Lr decides to mess with my presets again).

    I hope that helps!

    Original text: I have just connected to the report that I have the same 'problem' (Mac users)

    After renaming some of my exports now they all lead me to a folder named "HD Wallpapers" all the time (which is a file that I use to record the images that I would use as wallpaper and the export-only, I have a specific folder selected) before it always remember my last location, which has been really helpful. He randomly takes me to the location of the last well, but most of the time, it takes me to this folder "wallpaper".

    Edit: Rename this folder (Ex: "Wallpapers") worked but after overthrowing its original Lr name came back to her. I just tried it on my laptop (where I did no change) and I can confirm that my laptop Lr still remember my last file in the export location.

    Edit 2: When you choose 'Select the specific folder' there is a menu drop-down with the 'clear list' option, it does not work either. I tried to create a preset with the main folder of the Image in the specific folder and rename my folder "HD wallpapers" once again so he could at least lead me to this one. After doing this he started to work as before (remember my last location) but even once, as soon as I renamed the folder of my wallpapers to its original name, he began to take me back to it again each export. So I would say that there is something bad going on here.

  • How to find boxes to the letters I've lost with El Capitan update?

    I recently updated my iMac to El Capitan. After the update, I've lost all my mailboxes that were related to my ISP account. Is it possible to recover these lost go to balls (they are still in my ISP account)? If so, how should I do this?

  • Windows 7 won't remember the last used file path

    So to this question, take the Gmail.  If you enter an email and want to attach a file, you click on join and Win 7 by default on the desktop, from which you access the folder you need.  It's very good... for the first time.  However, while she is supposed to be smart enough to be REMEMBER this location next time.  NOPE.  Win 7 keeps by default on the desktop, even if you attach a file and then IMMEDIATELY try to attach to another.

    Is there a solution for this?

    * original title - Windows 7 won't remember the last used file path.  Very frustrating *.

    It is not a particular problem with Windows 7, but the Internet browser.   We remember is no longer default path of Internet Explorer with the introduction of sandboxing Protected Mode.  Even Windows XP, using the results of this sandbox layout in this behavior.

    Your temporary solution is to use another browser, such as Google Chrome.  In the meantime, your comments that you want to have the ability to remember the last folder used in the browser is important in the future development of the browser.  Leave your comments here, please: https://connect.microsoft.com/site/sitehome.aspx?SiteID=136

    That is right. The requires iTunes 12.3.3 and in order to get it, you will need to update OS X to El Capitan. That's how Apple has created for better or worse, I'm sorry.

  • Hi people! Can someone advise me something in Lightroom please CC.  When I export files once after you have finished the adjustments etc. and I click 'Save with the previous' - how to find where it was recorded, if I forgot the last folder saved to?

    Can someone advise me something in Lightroom please CC. When I export files once after you have finished the adjustments etc. and I click 'Save with the previous' - how to find where it was recorded, if I forgot the last folder saved to?

    I guess you mean "Export with previous. If so, open the export page. It will be defined as "precedent".

  • When you say to put in the folder it comes, he used to do, now it seems that put it in the last folder you used, I can't remember what it is that this is not possible it just?

    When I export images I check it so that the pictures in the folder just, but there is no more, it puts the photos exported in the last folder I exported photos in and if you can tell me what this was I would really appreciate it.

    I put it again and again, but it is still never done.  I'm obviously missing something.  I have the same problem with Photoshop.

    I tried what you suggested, but it did not work.

    What does your test? LR uses the preferences of the previous version file when you perform an upgrade of LR (Lr 4 to 5, LR 5 to 6, etc.). In the process of 'conversion' of the old preferences file, it can be damaged. We had many reports with many different "unexplained" symptoms after an upgrade like this. Reset the LR Preferences file solves many of these issues.

    Make sure you have "Add to catalogue" checked. If this is not the case, the exported files will not be imported into LR. You will need to right click on the folder that contains the original files and choose "Synchronize folders," which will import the exported files. Even if you have "Add to catalogue" verified that I suggest you that you synchronize the folder with the original files to see if it makes them appear.

  • Auto-effondrement in the library window and the dialog "change a bookmark this ', the last folder expanded

    In the tree of files of the window Library (bookmark and history) and the folder hierarchy of the dialog "edit this bookmark/New Bookmark', once a folder is developed, it will not collapse until the user manually clicks again expando button. Overtime, in a big folder, a lazy as user me tree may have a lot of extended records waiting to be collapsed.

    So, I'm looking for an extension that can auto-réduire the last folder expanded, or at least adds a button 'Close all folders' in the above window/dialog.

    I know that the extension "Autoclose Bookmark & history records". But it only deals with the sidebar.

    The add-on "Auto close folder in library" does exactly what I want.

  • Why can't Windows 8 allow us to save the last save location or to specify a default save location that is NOT my document?

    I get very irritated by how Windows 8 behaves in what concerns the registration of files from the internet.

    Don't know anyway or tricks Windows 8 brand allow me to save the last saved location or to specify the default saving location, it's not "my document"? It drives me crazy especially when I try to load files for my email or down when you save files from the internet.

    Concerning

    I figured out, you click on your folders icon in the lower left corner, then click 'libraries' left, make a right click on 'my documents' or 'my images' depending on what you are trying to save, click on properties, click on 'Add' and select the desired drive, then make sure it is ticked as "save location" and remove the other 2 in the list... Click apply / OK. BAM now whenever you save a document he will enter the location of your choice / image if you did it in my photos

  • Export as that doesn't remember the last used settings

    Trying to get used to the use of export as instead of the old economy for the Web. However, it doesn't seem to remember the last settings I used. Save for Web still don't this, no problem. It's quite embarrassing and I have always used save for Web for this reason. Is there a way to remember? I have changed my preferences to export but it was just for the Quick export. Any ideas?

    qmatt wrote:

    Do not. The new export module is not finished and it still lacks a lot of features (like the color management and the support of metadata). IMO, it was shipped prematurely.

    The code of save for Web is based on the old ImageReady and certainly need a review/rewrite, which I do not know "export as" will provide beautifully. But until it's over, using SFW.

  • How can I get Media Player 12 remember the last song I listened in a playlist?

    I've recently upgraded to a new computer with Windows 7 and Media Player 12 - the last computer I've had has Win XP and I forced to return to Media Player 9, because I liked this much better version.  Back on version 9, when I closed it after listening to a playlist, it remember where I stopped, so when I started to listen to this playlist again, he would start the next song on the list, instead of all the way back at the beginning.  I've looked through the menus and help files and I can't find the place where to have Media Player 12 talk about also - help?

    Thank you.

  • Not to remember the last place photo when importing in Lightroom

    I am running Adobe Lightroom CC 2015.6 and when I import pictures I store them on a different HD to the OS which is my D drive.

    Normally, what happens is that Lightroom selects the last location of folder used to store the photos automatically, but since I have updated it keeps defaulting to the root of D.

    Does anyone know how I can fix this apart from changing the situation whenever I have import the photos?

    Thank you!
