Viewing profile directory structure from above. Up one directory from your profile is the Profiles directory which contains one or more profiles, and one directory above that is the Firefox directory which contains Crash Reports directory, Profiles directory, and profiles.ini file. The profiles.ini is a map of profiles used by the Profile Manager.

The AutoTranscribe Folder Agent monitors the specified directory and uses the selected User Profile to transcribe the recording into text. The resulting transcriptions are then created in a separate directory that is chosen by the user. To initiate this process, a task is configured that associates a particular User Profile with an input and an output directory. Since each input and output directory pairs can be associated with their own User Profile, multiple tasks can be configured to transcribe recordings from different devices.Notes:Supported audio file formats: .wav, .wma, .mp3, .dss, .ds2.Note: Only unencrypted .dss or .ds2 files can be used with the AutoTranscribe Folder Agent.Only Dragon NaturallySpeaking Legal and Professional contain the AutoTranscribe Folder Agent.If the AutoTranscribe Folder Agent is active and Dragon NaturallySpeaking is launched, the AutoTranscribe Folder Agent will be disabled to avoid any possible conflicts with the Dragon User Profiles.The following steps below contain instructions on how to use the AutoTranscribe Folder Agent:Creating a task:To create a new AutoTranscribe Folder Agent task:Open the AutoTranscribe Folder Agent dialog box.

2025-04-10Be able to pick which profile we’ll use each time the app starts. Configuring the Master (at-home) Profile: To do simple configuration of the at-home profile you’ll need to navigate back to the homes screen (of XBMC, not of your iOS device). Tap on Videos. You currently have no video directories enabled so tap on Add Videos to add a folder. In our case, our home media is stored on a media server utilizing SMB sharing so we tap on “Windows network (SMB)” to search for our media directories on the server. If you’ve already prepped other XBMC units in your house you can easily copy the sources files from those installations to your iOS device by copying the sources.xml file from the profile directory of the existing XBMC computer to the profile directory of the iOS installation (which is located in /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/ on the iOS device). You can access the directory, since your device is jailbroken, using tools like iFile or by just SFTP’ing into your iPad. Note: you only need to copy the files if you intend on syncing your XBMC iOS installation to the media watched on other XBMC devices in your home. Regardless of whether you went the simple route or the whole-house syncing route, you should now be able to access your media off your network source from within the Master profile. Configuring the Travel (away-from-home) Profile: For this profile you need to exit XBMC and launch it again in order to select the alternate profile. Repeat the steps of tapping on Video, tapping on Add Videos. From within the source selection menu tap on Browse and then tap on Home folder. Because you’re on a jailbroken device using a jailbreak app, you can navigate the actual file structure of your iPad. If you wish to watch the video that you’ve already synced to your iPad via iTunes, navigate to /var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Video/ to add the iTunes-controlled video into XBMC. If you want to use a different directory for media you personally add to the iPad, you could (using a program like iFile or SFTP’ing into the

2025-03-30Text editor will tell you though for sure. Take a look at the path for "Windows Storage File" for example, The default path doesn't even have the correct filename at the end.For preferenceg files, remember that Opera has operaprefs_default.ini in the program files directory, operaprefs.ini in the user's roaming profile directory, and operaprefs_fixed.ini in the system32 directory.operaprefs_default.ini is your base settings that apply to all users. operaprefs.ini is the user preferences that can override operaprefs_default.ini. operaprefs_fixed.ini, overrides the others and forces settings upon users.Now, you can set "Opera Directory" and "Opera Local Directory" if you want (under the User Prefs section). And, you can set it in any of the files to get the effect you want. However, Opera can be pretty buggy with these settings.Last time I checked, when you set them in operaprefs.ini, only some of the preference files will be stored in the location you set. Others will remain in the roaming profile folder (including operaprefs.ini). In other words, you can't just use operaprefs.ini to change the Opera Directory so that opera totally uses the operaprefs.ini path you specify for everything else. If you could, you could imagine a whole level of operaprefs.ini files changing the Opera Directory to point to the next one. I think it only works for changing the location of some of the preference files. I consider this a bug and think I filed on it once. Don't remember the bug, but I don't think it received any attention as it was just too much of a corner case.Now, you might be able to get away with setting Opera Directory and or Opera Local Directory in operaprefs_default.ini. I forget if that works fine. I vaguely remember it not working fine for a usb installation though. I think maybe Opera still put some preference files in the "profile" directory even though both "Opera Directory" and "Opera Local Directory" were both changed to other folders (different from each other even). But, even if this works for a normal Opera install, it'd cause all users to use the same folder, which doesn't make sense unless those folders are in a spot that's accessible (read and write) to all users and no user was using them at the same time.As for operaprefs_fixed.ini, since it's just an override, I think the Opera Directory and Opera Local Directory settings in it will indeed override the others. Just don't know if you'd run into the same bug as with the other situations.In short, play around with the settings if you want. But, don't be surprised if it creates a mess. rif last edited by Wow Burnout my head hurts after reading all of that!!!! It seems some of those profile
