Embed Icons in List View?

I have seen an Xcelsius demo where it appears icons (i.e. trend, stop light) are embedded
on a row in a list view. When the list view is scrolled, the icons move with the proper row.
Does anyone have an idea of how this technique is accomplished? (Possibly the control is not a list box, but it looks like one...)
Thanks...Marv

HELP - computer doesn't keep icons in list view, etc from one day to next

Every day when I turn on my MAC (at work), the settings from the previous day are gone. I prefer my files/folders to be in "list" view, but they are always in large icon view and scattered all over the window. Each day I have to change every folder I open to list view manually. How to I get my computer to remember my settings so that I don't have to change it each day? our "expert" computer guy here at work has no clue, just saying it should automatically remember it, but it won't. Other areas where the same type of thing is occuring: I use InDesign everyday and always want my documents in inches. However, it usually defaults back to picas so when i open a new doc each day, i have to go in and change the settings back to inches. Also, any folders I click on open up a window so large it runs from the top to off the bottom of my screen. i have to go to to Window>Zoom Window so it gets back on the screen where I can size it down. All these things, although minor, are just such a hassle to have to do every single day. any advice is very welcome!! I am by no means advanced on a MAC, so please break things down for me as best you can.

First: Send Apple a Feedback. This has been an issue since the first days of X and is still not corrected in Tiger, from the posts I see there. Apple needs to know it matters to you. Click on "Discussions" at the top of this page and then look at the bottom left of the list of forums that comes up
Second: You did send that Feedback, didn't you. In the same corner is the link to the Users' Tips Library. In it—you'll have to do a search—is the tip from Scott Radloff "Making Finder Views Persistant" [title may not be exact] that you want.
Briefly, Apple's overlay of X onto UNIX broke down here. The 'ownership' of the problem windows belongs to one of those greyed out users like "eppp" and "mysql" that you see under your shortname when you look at Details in a Get Info… window on a file. UNIX needs them, so you need them, but you don't need to defer to their idea of what a perfect window looks like. Not if you're willing to become "root" the superuser and tell them how-to. That's Scott's tip, and do be warned: Rootness is all-powerful, and you must use those powers only for good and immediately renounce them when your task is done.
Now, what were you going to do first? Good luck.

Application icon in List View - anyone to view as app and not preview?

Hello
I've noticed something new in Leopard that is bugging me.
The small icons when you do a List View shows a preview of the document - not a small logo of the application it uses. So for instance, if I have a list view of a folder with a mix of Pages, Numbers, Word, TextEdit, etc. - I can't do a quick scan and find just the files associated with a certain program - say Word.
Is there any way to change these back to the old Tiger layout?
Thanks

I tried the rollover trick, and it apparently only works when you rollover the attachments at the bottom on the email. It would be nice if that worked at the top of the email when I click the little black attachment triangle. Scrolling to the bottom of the email to hover over links isn't convenient.
Also, the hover-over filename isn't quickly digestible because it gives you additional superfluous information such as downloaded status, mime type and "Control click for menu". See screenshot:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/102172/additional-info.png
The QuickLook option isn't what I want because I need to find things by filename, often from a large batch of attachments which I have never seen before, so seeing them as thumbnails doesn't really help.
So, from those suggestions I guess the unfortunate answer is Mail.app doesn't have a simple filename view and I have to use something else.
...Off to the OSX Feedback page to make a suggestion...

One File (But Only 1) shows as an icon in List View of a Finder Window

Finder windows has one inconsistency, but only for this one file, which is a JPG photo. In list view with the option to not show thumbnails (under Command J) Then I get generic JPG badges for each file. If I select: "Show as Icon" then I get a small photo icon for each photo. So far, so good. The problem is with one individual photo file. It always shows as a photo icon, regardless of how I set the checkbox for Show as Icon within a finder Window by sing Command J. So the problem seems to be with that individual file by itself. Using Command I for Show Information on the individual files does not give me any options or clues about how to control the presentation of the icon on its individual files.
Looking at the same image but with different file names or paths, then everything is normal and as it should be. The simple answer is simply erase the "goofy" file and replace it with a new version, but I want to understand what the OS is doing. The same issue with the same file was under OSX 3 and 4. I have 10.6 Snow Leopard now, but the issues was there with Tiger and so on.
An ideas?

It always shows as a photo icon
It sounds as if the file has its own custom icon, which is different from the "icon preview" that the system constructs on the fly when a custom icon is not present and you have also checked the "show icon preview" box in View Options. If you want to remove a custom icon, do a Get Info on the file, click on the icon at the top left to select it, and hit command-X.

Graph icon in lists views.

Hi Colleagues,
In one CRM 7.0 SP6 I cannot see the graph icon as usual in lists such as Service Request Search and List views.
Is there any configuration or user parameter to enable it?
In other CRM 7.0 all list contains the graph icon.
Best regards,
Renato

Using a list, I want to apply an image from the /i/ folder. In the List Entry Area under Label and Sequence I tried several syntax varations with no luck in the Image and Image Attributes Fields. With the List Entry Label I want to display and Icon (Image) they can click on with the List Entry Label below the image.. I've tried #IMAGE_PREFIX#load_ascii.gif with no results..

Forcing Finder to Redraw Icons in List View

I have a project that requires me to take about 5000 TV shows files that reside in a folder and move them to another folder but to put them in a folder that has the Shows name on it. The original folder just has the show all in the one folder.
The only data that is meaningful for this project that I have available is the Date the file was created and the Icon of the file which has the shows picture on it. If I can see the icon and the date created I can usually identify which TV show the file belongs to.
I have the folder in list mode and it shows the large icon of the show.
My problem is getting the entire folder to redraw the icons. About 3/4 of the folder shows the generic icon and not the actual picture. Even if I highlight some of them and do a GetInfo the icons are not always redrawn.
Does any one know how I can force the icons to be redrawn in the folder?

Well, it seems to work for me, so all I can suggest might be some problem with the Finder's preference file - com.apple.finder.plist - located in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. You could try putting it in the Trash, killing the Finder, then reconfiguring your window arrangements.
To kill the Finder press COMMAND-OPTION-ESC to open the task manager, select the Finder, then click on the Relaunch button.

Finder does not display icon for word / excel in list view

Hi,
I got a new macbook air, with Yosemite pre installed. I copied over all my files (from my old macbook using a USB drive) and next I installed MS office for mac.
For some reason Finder does not display the correct excel of word icon in list view (I set preview thumbnail to NO in view options), but it it displays the generic file icon.
It appears to be very random, as some files do display the icon and others do not. It also appears to have nothing to do with the doc/docx xls/xlsx variations.
Also some of my parallels icons do not display correctly in list view.
When I open a INFO panel, it does show the correct icon. Example below:
Any body know how to reset / fix this ?

Still got no solution...
There has to be some one that knows about this ..?
Any professionals reading this that can point in some direction for a solution?

"Search for" results not shown in list view

Hello,
I just installed Leopard a few days ago, and so far I'm very happy.
The ony oddity I noticed today was that "Search for" results (the default searches in the pane on the left side) are not shown in list view.
What happens is this:
- I open a finder window in list view.
- I click e.g. on "Search for" - "All documents".
- The status bar on the bottom of the finder window says e.g. "1789 objects", but the actual window is empty (although it has a very long scrollbar). If I click somewhere in the empty space, info for an actual file is shown - as if the files were there, just shown in white letters on white background. I can also type in the search field, and the status bar updates accordingly, but again, no files show up.
Icon and Coverflow views, however, do work.
- If I switch from Icon to List view, a file list is shown for the fraction of a second, then disappears.
This is not an end-of-the-world-bug for me, but still pretty annoying.
Any idea what might be the problem here? I have no exotic software installed that could cause trouble; just QuickSilver and the usual productivity apps.
Thanks!

The problem disappeared a few launches later . ..

Missing sub-folders in List View within Finder

I seem to be randomly missing the sub-folder icon from List view within finder.
Not only is the icon missing but the functionality has gone too.

Unable to click on file in list view to open from fcp. Works from icon view, however.

I have intermittant issues importing files and folders into Final Cut Pro. When the window to select the file or folder I want pops up, I often don't have the ability to select an item when the window is in list view, but when I switch to icon view, the open button loses its greyed out appearance and I'm able to select a file or folder.
I'm running FCP 7.0.3 and OS 10.5.8. At first thinking this could be an OS issue, I tried attaching a file to an email within Chrome and didn't have a problem selecting and opening files from a list window.
I trashed my FCP preferences and user data info, hoping this would resolve the issue, but it hasn't. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Thanks, Luis. I had selected FCP 7 in the drop down. Not sure how it got moved to X. And don't see an edit option on my original post.

Thumbnail Icons in list and Column View

I am trying to find out how to change icons for media files (pics/movies) from generic file type icons to thumbnail previews of the file. I Know its possibel because one of my folders (photos/iphoto/origionals.....)shows up in the column and list view as thumbnails. NONE of my other folders do though. I have tried messing with the view options, and i know you can view thumbnails in the ICON view in finder but this is not what i want to do. I also know that in column view you can preview files in an extra column, also not what i want. So anyone know how to make all icons in all finder views into thumbnails?
Thanks

The "icons" you are seeing are QuickLook icons that show a preview of the content in the file. AFAIK, there is no way to disable it. However, you can go into Finder>Preferences>Advanced and enabled the Show all file extensions option to help distinguish between filetypes.

Finder List View and White Border around photo image files (icon preview)

Hey everyone, just curious if anyone knows how to remove the stripes from list view in the finder window? I tried a method that worked for Leopard but no luck with Snow. And for photos, the icon previews have real thick white borders around them, can these be removed (or at least inverted)? They are so distracting when looking through hundreds of images...
Thanks,
Jason

I just found an app that will get rid of the white borders and preserve the original date in the photo's EXIF data. It is CocoThumbX and can be downloaded from http://www.stalkingwolf.net/software/cocothumbx/.

Inconsistent and incorrect file icons in finder window list view

I have been seeing incorrect file icons in finder windows noteably for PDF files the last couple of weeks on my office MacMini running 10.5.8. Some just look messed up. Some switched and looked like Evernote files, but they open correctly in the default application - Preview.
Get info would show the same incorrect icon, but correctly show Preview as the default application.
Just now I tried clicking on CoverFlow view and when I went back to List view, the icons looked correct again.
What type of system maintenance if any is needed to correct this issue? Note, these files continue to display correctly on my home iMac where these files are synced.
AndrewML

Thanks for the reply Baltwo.
I followed your directions. After the restart the PDF icons were all displayed correctly.
However, some .doc file icons were blank. Selected one, got info, set it to open with MSWord and then clicked "apply to all." Most, but not all now display the Word logo. Some remain blank, although get info reveals they are set to open with Word. Will another restart fix this or is there another suggestion?
I will be away from this computer till Monday.
