How to create smart folder in Lion

Hi,
I was using Smart folders a lot in Snow Leopard. For example I have Movie folder and lot of movies in it. The movie I haven't seen yet are labeled as red and there is smart folder, which shows me just the red (unseen) folders.
However the smart folder doesn't work in Lion. So I deleted them and wanted to create new one. However when I create new Smart folder it can search just "This Mac" or "jakudo" (my account) or "Shared", I cannot set the "Movie" folder. How should I do that? Or is there some new way how to do that in Lion?

Smart Folders seem to be getting smarter Something like this maybe?
Select 'Kind is Folder' first, then narrow it down to Movie in the Search box to add a smart tag. Next Hit the + sign and set further filters as required.
I've only played with this briefly but it might be what you're looking for?
Regards,
Colin R.

How to create Smart Folder that limits search to a specific folder or drive

I've been playing with Smart Folders in Leopard 10.5.5. I would like to create a smart folder that limit the search to only a specific folder where I keep all of my work related files. I cannot figure a way how to do this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Bud James

1.) Performed Archive and Install. This did not correct the problem.
2.) Performed clean install to new hard drive. This corrected the problem.
3.) Performed a user migration (to the fresh new OS and new HD) using the migration utility and the problem returned.
So it seems pretty clear that there is something related to my user identity that is causing the problem. I called Apple tech support but they were not able to resolve the problem.
Sure, I can just create a new user and spend the next week or so reinstalling a bunch of software...but certainly based on the description of the problem (and the trouble shooting that I have already performed) someone at Apple should be able to pinpoint what files I need to delete or replace to correct this problem.

How to create a folder (in unified folders) which contains all the messages of inboxes and outboxes

Hi, i've searched without success how to create a folder (in unified folders) which contains all the messages of inboxes and outboxes (as it exists in Windows Live Mail).
For me, it would be very useful to search in only one folder when i try to find something in sent and received mails.
Thank's

This is what Unified Folders does. I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to achieve.

How to create shared folder between mac and windows

how to create shared folder between mac and windows

Us ean external drive formatted FAT32 or ExFat. Both OSx and Windows can read/write to the drive and both can use the same data files as long as you have a program that can open and save these files. For example, Word running both on OSx and on Windows will be able to work with the same document on the external drive.

How do I finish this Create Smart Folder script?

I've gotten most of the way on a homemade file tagging system. My Automator Service gets files, asks what to tag them, applies the tags to the Spotlight Comments, and then asks if you want to make a Smart Folder that finds one of your new tags.
If you do, it runs a script. The script asks what tags you would like to populate the Smart Folder, initiates a new smart folder based by appending the tags to "comment:" in the Spotlight search. But that's where I'm stuck. I can't figure out how to automate clicking the darn "Save" button to create the Smart Folder.
And feel free to co-opt my tagging strategy, it is working famously for a team of 5 in shared Dropbox folders.
Here's my Applescript. See the solitary comment in my code below for where I think I need help.
====================
display dialog "Which tags should be queried to populate the Tag Folder?" default answer "separate tags by spaces" buttons {"Cancel", "Continue"} default button 2
if (button returned of result) is "Continue" then
set the clipboard to "comment:" & text returned of the result
tell application "Finder" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder"
keystroke "n" using {command down, option down}
keystroke "v" using command down
end tell
tell application "Finder"
display dialog "What shall we name the Tag Folder?" default answer "" buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2
if (button returned of result) is "OK" then
set the clipboard to text returned of the result
tell application "Finder" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder"
# How do I tell Finder to click that Save button?
delay 0.5
keystroke "v" using command down
delay 0.5
key code 36
end tell
end if
end tell
end if

Create Smart Folder with Applescript?

Hi
Is there a way to create a Smart Folder with Applescript?
many thanks
LJ

thanks neil.
one other question. once i've made this folder i'll want to use it.
it occurs to me that i might not be able to use the same code to
call the folder after it's been created since, while the date may
be the same, the time won't be.
how do i stored the new folder name as it's being created so that
i can call it later in the script?
thanks again,

How to create universe folder in BO XI via SDK

Hi all,
I'm just starting to use the BOXI SDK. I've used the sample to create new folders, it worked perfectly.
But now I would like to create new universe folders but I have no idea how to do it. Here is the sample to create a folder :
int addFolder (int parentFolderID, String folderName, String folderDescription, IInfoStore infoStore)
    int objectID = 0;
    try
     * Since folders are implemented using a plugin,
     * you will need the PluginManager to retrieve the folder plugin.
    IPluginMgr pluginMgr = infoStore.getPluginMgr();
     * Retrieve the Folder plugin by passing the plugin ProgID
     * to the PluginInfo property of the PluginManager.
    //IPluginInfo folderPlugin = pluginMgr.getPluginInfo("CrystalEnterprise.Folder");
    IPluginInfo folderPlugin = pluginMgr.getPluginInfo("CrystalEnterprise.Folder");
    // Create a new, empty InfoObject collection.
    IInfoObjects newInfoObjects = infoStore.newInfoObjectCollection();
     * Give the Folder plugin object to the Add method. This
     * creates a new InfoObject based on the plugin type.
     * In this case, since the plugin is the folder plugin,
     * the object created is a folder object.
    newInfoObjects.add(folderPlugin);
     IInfoObject infoObject = (IInfoObject) newInfoObjects.get(0);
    // Specify the folder's details._ENDLOC   _
    infoObject.setTitle (folderName);
    infoObject.setDescription (folderDescription);
    objectID = infoObject.getID();
     * The next line indicates where in the folder tree the
     * folder is to be created. It does this by setting the
     * parent ID property or, in other words, by telling the folder
     * which folder is its parent. If the parent ID property is
     * zero, then the folder has no parent and is thus a top-level
     * folder.
    infoObject.properties().setProperty(CePropertyID.SI_PARENTID, parentFolderID);
     * Use the infoStore to commit the new collection with the new folder
     * to the CMS database.
    infoStore.commit (newInfoObjects);
     }catch (SDKException e) {
          throw new Error("Impossible d'ajouter le dossier. Exception survenue : "
                                  + e.getMessage());
     }catch (NullPointerException e) {
          throw new Error("Impossible d'ajouter le dossier. Exception survenue : "
                                  + e.getMessage());
    return objectID;
Could someone give me some clues or code sample (preferably in Java or C#) in order to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance for all information and help you could provide.
Best regards,

I wouldn't expect the code to be any different for universe folders, you just need to find the id for the top level folder for the universes. It might be easiest to add a folder there manually and check its properties.
