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 help

    The 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

    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,
    Peter

    The 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.
    Doel

    Hi, 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.

    If QuickTime Player 7 isn't in the Utilities folder automatically, you can install it separately. See:

  • 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 life  

    Yo '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!!

  • Finder sort issue

    I seem to be having a sorting issue.

    OS X Finder sorts strings of digits according to their value, not digit by digit. 200802 is less than 20071130. Here is a note on the issue:

  • 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/
