How to make your folder list appear at the top when opening a finder window

Sorry if this has been asked before but couldn't find it in the threads... About the only thing I miss from Windows, is the way file mgr displays list in folders, i.e. starting with folders, then listing the files.
Any way we can do this in Leopard?? The closest I get is by displaying content in list, then sort by type, but obviously my Adobe documents are listed before my folders... I'd really love to get my folders on top.
Thanks for the help!
Jean-Francois.

FYI, I found this trick posted at another board:
Sorting by kind with folders at the top can be done in Leopard with a little hacking:
OBLIGATORY WARNING:
If you're not comfortable with this, don't do it!
With that out of the way:
- navigate to: /System/Library/CoreServices/
- right-click Finder.app and select Show package contents...
- navigate to: Contents>Resources>English.lproj
- backup InfoPlist.strings
- open the original InfoPlist.strings in a text editor
- locate the line that says:
Code:
"Folder" = "Folder";
- add a space at the start of the second "Folder":
Code:
"Folder" = " Folder";
- save the file
- reboot or relaunch Finder
The space in front of "Folder" forces folders to the top of the list when sorting alphabetically by kind.

How to make most recent messages appear at the top of the list?

I can not find a place in Mail preferences to make my messages in each mailbox ALWAYS appear with the most recent at the top of the list. They seem to revert to the reverse order, even though I laboriously change the order in each mailbox via clicking the top of the date column. I am using primarily .Mac addresses in IMAP format, and three computers. It seems that after I shut down, then restart the next day and my computers all sycn with .Mac, the order goes back to oldest first. How can I fix this? Thanks!

Everytime i have used webmail, the view is always retained with my previous settings. In fact the .Mac web mail help menu says the same thing (see below)
Therefore the last thing i would recommend is to simply reset safari (which will empty the cache), delete all your Mail plist files, and not turn .Mac sync on fully until all systems are sorting consistently on their own....
(from the .mac help menu)
===================
Sorting message lists
When you use .Mac Mail on the web, you can sort your messages, drafts, and sent messages lists by their column headers. Sorting is helpful when you want to quickly locate specific emails or groups of emails, such as all messages received from a specific sender or all flagged messages.
To sort a message list:
If you're not already in .Mac Mail on the web, go to www.mac.com and click Mail (at the top of the page), and log in.
Access a message list by opening a folder.
Click any column header to sort the list by that parameter. Clicking the same column header again reverses the order in which the list is sorted.
When you sort a message list, all email messages in the list are sorted, not just those showing on the current page.
Column headers vary slightly by list. The Drafts list, for example, has no From column.
After you have sorted a list, it retains that order until you re-sort it.

How to make today's date be at the top of the page?

In month view, how can I make today's date appear at the top of the page? When it is late in the month, I don't need to see a month of past events--I need to see what is coming up.

I have a report in which the data from a repeating frame frequently spans several pages and I want to put a notation at the top of each new page that says "xxx continued...".
Assume the repeating frame rows for employee John which span all of page 1 and half of page 2. Then, rows for employee Sue are produced, continuing through the rest of page 2 and all of page 3. A third employee, Ted, STARTs on page 4.
At the top of page 2 I would like to have the notation "John continued...". Similarly, at the top of page 3, I'd like "Sue continued....".
The kicker is the condition where a new employee, STARTs at the top of page, like Ted, above. In that case, I do not want any message printed.
I sure would appreciate any insights......Check this {thread:id=2503674}
you will get idea.

How to make a group name appear as the group name and not "Undisclosed Reci

About Group Names:
I made a group of about 15 people. I named that group “BASEBALLERS." I have another group that I labeled ”BASKETBALLERS." When I want to send info that pertains to both, I type out each group name and they both appear in the “To:” field with those names I created.
However, when I receive copies of this email, the group names BASEBALLERS and BASKETBALLERS gets changed to boring old ”Undisclosed Recipients.“
Is it possible for everyone to receive my emails and see the two group names instead of ”Undisclosed recipients“?
Thank you. According to the Help Menu in Mail, it should be possible. Or does it have to do with individual ISPs?

Hi DazFaz,
true, but with an array with length of 1 rounding down
prevents an index
out of range error.
In you original code you 'round down' by multiplying by the
length of
the array -1 while I round down with Math.floor (and multiply
by the
actual length of the array).
Is there a difference in result?
The code below can yield 1 while the array may just be 1 item
long:
var arrayLength:Number = 1;
var rnd:Number = Math.random() * arrayLength;
var rndV1 = Math.floor(rnd);// Rounds ONLY down to the
nearest integer
var rndV2 = Math.round(rnd);// rounds up OR down to the
nearest integer
trace(rnd + "\t" + rndV1 + "\t" + rndV2);
so either decrement the length or floor the number. Same
difference (No?)
I love puzzels :)

Scroller not appearing in the popup when opened for the second time

Hi,
I have a popup window which has three tabs A, B, and C. My tab A has BorderContainer > Scroller > Vgroup
When opened for the first time, I can see the scroller. But , when opened for the second time, the scroller does not appear and the content in th Border container seems truncated.
Please help.

No answers, but I may be seeing something similar.
I'm converting a project from Flex 3 to 4. In a popup (Spark TitleWindow) I have a some TabNavigators. On subsequent openings of the popup, the contents of the navigator children don't always render. After some changing of various Halo components to their Spark equivalents, I thought the problem had gone away. But the problem seems to have come back.
In my case, I'm not sure if the "subsequent opening" is the key issue. Sometimes, the contents of nested TabNaviagtor children don't render on the first opening. although the first child content always renders. But the problem seems to increase in subsequent openings. (I.e. more children of TabNavigators don't render.)
Perhaps not connected, but I notice when this happens, the outside borders of dataGrid components don't render in components outside of TabNavigators. I suspect there's a simple thing I need to to do to fix this, but I haven't found it. Any hints or insights would be welcomed.

How to make sales order items appear on the billing due list?

Dear All,
We are using SAP CRM 5.0 standalone and we want to use CRM Billing.
All necessary configuration has been done to enable CRM Billing on sales orders.
Here is the list of what have been done:
1. Defined Billing unit and assigned to my sales organization.
2. Created billing document type for sales order (F2 as standard).
3. Defined billing item category (TAN as transaction-based billing after complete)
4. Defined billing item category determination (for trans. type TA, item category TAN, billing item category will be TAN)
With all the above configuration, when I created a sales order (TA), set the order status to 'completed' and save it, I checked the item status, it is 'completed for billing'. However, when I ran 'Process Billing Due List', nothing has been picked up.
I checked the order line item, and found that the 'Delivered Qty' field is 0. Could this be the reason? I set the item category TAN billing relevancy to be 'Transaction-based after completion', then it should not care about delivery, right?
Please provide your input. Thanks so much in advance!
Regards,
Leon

How to make my appointments / events appear on the home or lock screen

After being spoiled with the Omnia and Droid I'm really missing this feature. appointments are the main reason I have a smart phone. But going into calendar to view upcoming events is counter productive. If you go into calendar then you didnt really need a reminder.
I want the option to glance at my home screen and see the next 24hrs of appts. This feature has saved me a number of times as your reminded of appointmets everytime you get a call, check the time etc. Theses gotta be a fix or an app out there.

It's currently not a feature of the iPhone, and third party apps from the AppStore are not able to effect the lockscreen. You can set an alarm for appointments but that is about it.
You can make a suggestion to apple:

How to make iCloud calendar appointments appear in the To-Do Bar in Outlook 2010

I'm using Win 7 and iCloud control panel 4.0. I understand that only the default calendar shows up in the to do bar.
I tried setting iCloud as the default data file but then I can't write an email because I use IMAP which requires write access to the data file.
I've seen posts here saying this can't be done but I know it can as I have a friend who is doing it but they are 3000 miles away and I can't see their PC to see what might be different.
I'd appreciate any help...

forget to mention that the categories are present in outlook but not in my ipad.

How to make Dictionary results show up at the top in Spotlight?

Hi, I used to use Dictionary a lot when writing papers. However, since upgrading from Leopard to Lion Spotlight has been showing results differently.

For "chair" it shows Top hit, documents, pdf documents, music, and then ... "Look Up", which I want FIRST! :-)
Any help appreciated! Thanks!

How to make a 2nd, new Photo Library the default on open

well, we've now reached 15,000 picts on my iPhoto and you know what that means.
I read MISSING MANUAL (pogue) and now how, with option-boot up, to create a new photo library. Very cool.
HOWEVER: I wish this new library to be the default library when I open up iPHoto 5.
How do do?
JON

JON,
iPhoto opens the most recently used library by default. So all you have to do is create the new library. When you Quit iPhoto, it will be set to open that library the next time you launch. If you want to open a different library, you will have to Option-Launch to select it.
Also, you might like to check out iPhoto Library Manager. It facilitates switching among iPhoto libraries. Plus, it allows you to transfer rolls and albums between libraries while preserving the keywords, ratings, titles, and other database information.
Regards.

HT201263 does the smart cover magnet strip affect the ipad screen by making colour lines appear on the screen when opened or unlocked by the cover

Does using the magnetic smart cover affect the ipad by causing stripes of interference lines over the screen, then when opening and shutting would revert to a normal home screen, But repeatedly does this lines on screen effect and then eventually the whole screen goes white!

No. It should not do that.

Choicebox lists appearing in the wrong place

Hi
Having a problem with ChoiceBox. I have a scene with lots of displayed information and a number of choiceboxes. I also have a scene which is much smaller and only displays the most important information. When I switch to the small screen and then back again, the choicebox dropdown lists appear at the top left of my screen, not below the box as expected. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

If it's an embedded applet, then it's a known issue http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-15970 (Popups aren't drawn in the right place in applet mode).
Otherwise it would seem like an unrecorded bug, in which case file the bug with a minimal test case at http://javafx-jira.kenai.com, and post a link to the bug in a reply to this thread.
