Mavericks finder sort folder on top feature?
hi development team,
just a humble suggestion ...
would be great that the mavericks finder include a feature to sort folder on top.
i don't want to install any bloated 3rd party finder apps that would solve this issue, because i want this basic feature to be native
thanks

Seems like it solved when I removed the "Show item info"

Automator - Finder - Sort Folder - Print to Textfile with size result
Dear Apple community,
i am trying the following.
1. Find Finder Items
2. Sort Finder Items (by kind:folder)
3. New Text File
This sorts the source folders by size and prints the results in a text file but only the / directory structure but not the folder size. How can i add the "size" information in the text file?
Thanks for your helpThe Sort Finder Items action just returns files and folders, but you can use a Run AppleScript action that adds the size information:
1) Ask for Finder Items
2) Sort FInder Items
3) Run AppleScript (I threw in a handler to clean up the formatting a bit):
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters}
set the output to {}
repeat with AnItem in the input
set TheSize to FormatSize(get size of (info for AnItem))
set the end of output to (POSIX path of AnItem) & space & space & TheSize
end repeat
return the output
end run
on FormatSize(TheNumber)
formats a number into KB/MB/GB
parameters - TheNumber [real or integer]: the size
returns [text]: the size formatted as 'x KB' or 'x.xx MB/GB'
if the class of TheNumber is in {real, integer} then
set FormattedSize to TheNumber / 1024 -- KB
if FormattedSize > 1024 then
set FormattedSize to FormattedSize / 1024 -- MB
if FormattedSize > 1024 then
set FormattedSize to FormattedSize / 1024 -- GB
set theSuffix to " GB"
else
set theSuffix to " MB"
end if
set FormattedSize to (round (FormattedSize * 100) rounding as taught in school) / 100
else
set theSuffix to " KB"
set FormattedSize to FormattedSize div 1
end if -- FormattedSize > 1024
set TheNumber to (FormattedSize as text) & theSuffix
end if -- the class of TheNumber is in {real, integer}
return TheNumber
end FormatSize</pre>

Hi! I'm a Windows XP convert... switched to an imac about 4 months ago and am LOVIN' it As a graphics designer I did use a feature on my Windows machine which I really miss on my mac... beaing able to see a preview of one of the images in a folder on top of the folder icon. In other words, in Windows, you can see the first image that is inside the folder as an icon on the folder itself. Is there a way to do this on the mac? Maybe some software program that will do it? Thanks for you help!
It would be brilliant if Apple could make picture folders behave like events in iPhoto. You could see a photo on the folder, and also mouse over it to change pictures.
But no, there's not an application I'm aware of that does this. You can manually make a picture the folder icon, but it's a tedious process.
Unfortunately this is another example of how dated and worn out the Mac's interface is. The concept of using a file folder as the icon for a directory of images is so 80's. You could use coverflow, but that only helps once you're in the directory itself. Or use iPhoto or Aperture, although they just do photos. Or try Lyn as an alternative: it has a sort of iTunes-like interface, and makes it easy to organize photos without having to put them in iPhoto. And it can display photos that are already in Libraries.
But you'd probably need a Finder alternative. I use Leap, which displays any type of document. It also does tagging, which is another huge omission in the Finder. More like Windows Explorer (although still no photo on folder icons).
Another very stylish Finder alternative, especially useful for pictures, is FileBrowse. I don't know why it hasn't gotten more attention. It DOES put photo previews on the folders it shows. And allows one-click expansion to show the photo enlarged. It's super fast, and even allow you to group/sort by camera or flash! It really has to be seen to be appreciated. It works in Lion, although it doesn't seem to be have been updated lately. http://www.filebrowse.com/index.html

When expanding folder in list view, finder always go to top. How to stop it?
How to make finder not going to top back again whenever expanding a folder in list view? It just like clicking go to top on a website. i have a lot of subfolder, but when i expand it, finder show back the top list folder(zuupp to the top, grrr!!!), it so annoying to scroll back down just to get back where the last folder expand.
18 months later someone finally responds to you. I dislike this behavior very much and cannot find a workaround. The current push by Aple is to make the smaller devices more accessible which is radcially compromising the desktop experience. I asume you have updated to Mavericks by now. The auto-sizing columns remains an issue as well. If this is driving you bonkers too. Use TAG View and the auto resize to file name length returns.

How to find mail folder in mavericks backups
Hi, I am trying to find some mail messages that would be part of my backups of my computer. The OS is Mavericks. I know that the folder "library" is hidden and I can find this folder on my current system but I don't know how to find a hidden folder in a backup. This is what I can see:
Thank you for your help.Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select the Mail/V2 folder and enter time Machine.

Showing Folders first in Finder sort ???
In almost every other release of OS X there was a tweak to edit the Finder frameworks so that you could have Finder, when sorting by "Kind/Type"you could display folders first. Well of course they broke that in Leopard.
Has anyone discovered a way to reinstate this nice little feature so that folders don't appear at the bottom of the list view but at the TOP like PathFinder?
For those that are curious here WAS the "tweak" (go to System: Library: Frameworks: ApplicationServices.framework: Versions: A: Frameworks: LaunchServices.framework: Versions: A: Resources. Whew. Within that folder, you’ll see the English.lproj folder. Highlight it, and then select File: Get Info. In the Ownership & Permissions area, click on the Details triangle, click on the lock icon, and then click on the Owner pop-up menu and set it to your user name (enter your password if asked). Leave this window open; you’ll be changing it back in just a minute.
Inside the English.lproj folder is a file named Localized.strings. Drag it onto TextEdit. Find the line that reads "Folder" = "Folder"; and insert a space before the F in the second Folder.)
TIA,
PeterThe Launch Services hack doesn't work in Leopard. The string "Folder" has moved to inside the Finder bundle. Here's how to hack it:
Anyway, you can hack things to make this behave how you want. Launch /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app, then type:
cd /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj
sudo chmod 777 InfoPlist.strings
sudo chmod 777 .
open InfoPlist.strings
It should open up in a text editor like TextEdit. Inside it you will find "Folder" = "Folder". Change it to "Folder = " Folder", note the ' ' (space). Save your change. Then Control-Option-Click on the Finder in the sidebar and select "Relaunch". When the Finder comes back up, the Kind string for folders should be what you changed it to in the InfoPlist.strings file (' Folder'), and if you sort by Kind (with the arrow in the kind column header pointing to the top) you'll see Folders sorted at the top.
Enjoy... -

I was dragging a folder and now can not find the folder at all
Hello,
is there any way to find a folder that is now lost on my MacBook Pro. I was dragging the folder from the finder window to another folder using the mouse tracking on my MacBook Pro laptop. But I didn't get a chance to reach the other folder and lost the file. I check every where on the laptop using the search and nothing. Even check the trash can nothing still. A folder containing about a 1000 pictures just vanish.
Please help me fiind this folder.
I am at lost.
DoelHi, would you believe that I did that too. I have the iimages on Lightroom so I keep typing in the file name and nothing. I am like going mad with this.
I don't even understand how a folder can disappear just like that. I have been up all night trying to do everything. The Mac is not like Windows where at least you have some history of what n where files could be.
I know I didn't go to the trash, because it didn't ask me and nothing of the sort of replacing folders or files.
I'm at a lost.
Thank you though. -
Hello, had to move to mavericks lost quicktime Pro, Need the feature for looping audio sections repeatedly, I have the install Key from my old QT Pro version, any ideas?
If QuickTime Player 7 isn't in the Utilities folder automatically, you can install it separately. See:

Instructions on how to register your QuickTime Pro key can be found in that same document.

Cannot find mobilesync folder on my mac os
I've backed up my iphone several times and followed instructions on finding the sms backup files but cannot find the mobilesync folder for the life of me... It is simply not there it appears, not under the only user on the mac (both user name and the "shared") or in general Library folder...
Attached is a screenshot of the folders. Any ideas..?
Thanks for any help you can offer, I'm fairly novice Mac user having used PC's most of my lifeYo 'nycetouch'
In my perspective, I beleieve you are opening the Finder App from your Dock and seraching for /Users/<your user name>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Its imperative that you should be seraching in the GO option on the top.
If you are not able to find GO on the top. Quit all the opened applications to find the GO
or
Doulbe tap or double left click into the Desktop screen to find GO
Under GO click on Go to Folder, in that paste
/Users/<your user name>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
In my case,
/Users/Boo/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup.
It took me a while to find the GO option. I must work. Im eager to know how you are going.
JimHDK,
You are a life saver. Your instructions were really helpful.
Thanks again mate!! -

Can't find Centered look with Top Menu
Can't find Centered look with Top Menu
In SharePoint 2013 (with O365 subscription), when I go to Site > Change the look I see mainly two types of layouts:
1. Left aligned with top menu
2. Centered with left-side menu
Is this some sort of best practice? I'm trying to find a "look" that is centered (or full screen) with top menu - which seems to be the most common in most cloud CMS'es out there. Is there one in-built?
I tried modifying the Stylesheet by adding margin:0 auto; to
.ms-pub-contentLayout class, but that did not make any difference. Any help greatly appreciated!
PS: After clicking submit on this post in previous attempt few minutes ago I got Internal Server Error.Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you'd like to change the layout as centered with top menu as like below link.
https://zirlentechnologies-public.sharepoint.com/
I've done this by editing master page .css file.
#s4-bodyContainer {
min-height: 100%;
padding-bottom: 0px;
width: 1280px !Important;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 0px;
.ms-pub-contentLayout {
