Pathname doesn't work in Smart Folders

I'm trying to create a Smart Folder that is basically contents of folder X & contents of folder Y...but setting File pathname Contains folder X doesn't work...in fact, setting File pathname as the search criteria in Smart Folder returns no results no matter what.
I just upgraded to Tiger this morning & am pretty disappointed...

File pathname does not work. According to the Metadata resource, it is not supposed to, but they included it for some reason.
To find things in certain folders, use the Others.. button on the location bar (Servers Computer Home Others)

  • Mail:  ANY doesn't work in smart mailboxes or rules?

    I want to create a smart mailbox that will copy and archive  all messages to/from a particular recipient and e-mails to/from others about the subject of most of the conversation with that recipient.  I want the archiving to happen as they arrive in my inboxes and not automatically remove them from the servers--some I still need on the servers to access from multiple locations/machines.
    But I can't even get to the archiving issue:  the smart mailbox that says 'contains ANY message' meeting these rules:
    contains recipient1
    contains subject2
    always has fewer messages than one that simply 'contains recipient1' so the ANY condition, that in boolean terms should be an OR combination, appears to functionally act as an AND.
    When I tried to create a smart mailbox folder to contain two mailboxes, one for contains name1 and one for contains subject2, each of which separately works fine, clicking the smart mailbox folder containing both leaves the window empty, so I can't see the messages name1 and subject2 interlaced in the date sent order or any other.  I just get one group or the other by clicking the submailboxes.
    And trying to bypass the problem using rules doesn't work either--the 'any' command is as dysfunctional there as it is in the smart mailbox dialog.  I can manually search for the relevant terms (recipient1 and  subject2) and option+drag them to a mailbox for archiving, but this results in many duplications, especially if repeated over time, not a happy result.
    Some searching here and googling suggests that the ANY command is problematic in this OS for a lot of people, but is there a known fix?  Or a better way to create a 'smart' archive to do what I want?

    Okay, I think I understand better now.  So I just ran a test, by creating the following rule:
    I specifically chose an address (obviously not the one shown) that I had a message from in my Inbox, and a word that was present in the subject line of several messages in my Inbox.  When I ran this rule on my Inbox, it copied exactly the messages I would have expected into the test mailbox.  Are you seeing different behavior with the same rule, or is your rule constructed differently?
    If the difficulty is with running the rule, note that (as I said earlier) rules only run automatically on unread incoming messages.  It won't run automatically on existing messages or on messages on an IMAP mail server that you have read on another device using (in which case they will have been marked as read).  If you need to run this in such conditions, you'll have to either run the rule manually or run it via an AppleScript or something similar that is somehow (via something other than Mail) made to execute at certain times/intervals or under certain conditions.
    And you're correct, a smart mailbox would be totally inappropriate for what you're trying to do!  It would behave exactly as you guessed.

  • EDIT button doesn't work in smart web printing.

    My edit button doesn't work at all in smart web printing.  I can clip & print okay but I can't edit my clips at all.  I have vista & ie8.  When I click edit, everything grays out in the smart web window & ie8 stops working. I have to recover my tabs but smart web is still grayed out. I have updated to the newest smart web numerous times but keep having the same problem, Please help!!!!

    Reinstalling iPhoto would be the way to go. Hit F4 on the keyboard, hold your mouse on the iPhoto icon until it starts jiggling, then click the black cross that appears in the top right of it. Then, head to the Mac App Store (click the Apple in the very top left, it's the 4th one down) and then reinstall iPhoto. Deleting the iPhoto app shouldn't delete your iPhoto Library, but if you're worried, you can always make a backup... Time Machine will do it, otherwise - manual!
    Go to Finder. Then in the menu bar along the top, click Go, then Home, then Pictures. In the pictures folder, you'll find the photo library file. Copy it to your desktop or an external disk.
    Hope this helps

  • Search Keywords doesn't work on sub-folders

    I finally had to migrate from JASC (Corel) Photo Album to Adobe Photo Elements 9.  I had liked using JASC many years ago with the ability to add keywords (I have many) which were stored in a Access database.  With Windows Vista the keywords were stored in both the Access database and in the image file.  Prior to that it would have been near impossible to convert to any album software.  With a recent rebuild of my pc the keyword database in Corel Photo Album no longer worked.  Therefore, the migration to Photo Elements 9.  I like the robustness of Photoshop Elements 9 but .... and this is the problem.
    The intent of having keywords on images is to allow me to find any images that meet a search criteria.  After some testing I have found that if I search for a keyword on a single folder I have valid results.  If I search on a folder with sub-folders the search will not find any files that meet the criteria even though I can confirm that at least one subfolder has a file that meets the criteria.
    Could my problem be with how I loaded the images into PE9?  When I first started PE9 I pointed it to the folder with the majority of my images (23,000).

    Jerry,
    I assume that you are using folder view (Display option). If you switch to Thumbnail view, the search will look at all your images.

  • Can't create Smart Collection, Save-Button doesn't work

    i have the Problem  that i can't create Smart Collection, the Save-Button doesn't work, the Smart-Collection Window stays open and nothing happens when i click the "save" button!
    i use CC with a new installed W8 and all is up-to-date.
    Its a strange thing. Please Help me.

    Just to clarify, Photoshop CC has not been released yet.  It will come out on June 17.
    What you have now is Photoshop 13.x as per the subscription model (»Abo«) and it's called Photoshop CS6.  When Photoshop 14.x is released on June 17, then it will be called "CC".
    It's not clear—at least to me—which images, if any, you have selected in Bridge when you hit the »Speichern« (Save) button.
    Remember that a Collection is nothing more than a saved search, i.e. a saved collection of selected search results (hits).
    Could you elaborate on what it is you want to save as a collection? 
    Incidentally, the Adobe Bridge forum is here:

  • LrPhoto:getContainedPublishedCollections() to work with Smart Collection

    I have customized the original flickr publish plugin to suit my liking and to model the behavior of Flickr especially the Photostream and Photosets concept. I love the improve plugin i created very much. When I started to work with smart collections to publish my photos to flickr.most of the functionality and behavior of flickr I had created breakdown as I rely heavily on LrPhoto:getContainedPublishedCollections() to interconnect each photoset (collection). Apparently this function doesn't work with smart collection. My question would be
    1. For the next update of lightroom, I hope to see the function LrPhoto:getContainedPublishedCollections() to also work with Smart Collections.
    2. For the time being is there any alternative way to reference smart collections from a LrPhoto?
    Thank you very much..

  • Why Address Book Smart Group Doesn't Work?

    I'm unable to find a solution to, or explination for, the following problem with Address Book and Smart Folders.
    I added a custom date field for my contacts.
    Set the date for one year and five days ago.
    Created Smart folder with condition:
    custom date 'is not within' one year.
    Well, my contact I created with custom date of one year and five days ago did not appear in the smart group I created.
    But it does appear in a smart group with condition 'is within' one month.
    Seems that the Smart Group is ignoring the year. Doesn't seem very smart to me, lol.
    Any advice on what is going on, or how to fix it would be greatly appreciated. I've spent hours looking for answers online and haven't found anything. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi The Zack,
    In case you think you are crazy, I can confirm that in this area you are not. I just switched from years of PC drudgery to the the new Mac religion. I even switched all my email/address/calendar stuff to pure Apple. Some bumps and hiccups, but still I guess the real test is when I log back onto my old PC I feel like I am watching a rerun of a black and white sitcom.
    I digress. On of my hiccups is exactly the same as yours. Address Book is always able to search. It seems a good number of the names in my address book can not be found by typing in any part of their information in the search box. I could not fix this by duplicating the address entry, but I could get it work by hand typing in a new duplicate address entry. I am hoping you and Barry discover a cleaner solution to this.
    Thx, Kmon23

  • HI, I just got a Macbook Pro.  It's great but my mail doesn't work at all.  It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages,  then won't delete them,  then won't save them to folders.  Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

    HI, I just got a Macbook Pro.  It's great but my mail doesn't work at all.  It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages,  then won't delete them,  then won't save them to folders.  Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not.  I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again.  How can I fix this?

    If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them.  800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly.  Hope this helps.

  • I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

    I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
    ^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
    I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
    Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • Smart quotes replacement STILL doesn't work

    Seriously, try this…

    (Please someone tell me I'm missing something here. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.)
    Running Pages 5.1 (1769), OS X 10.9.1

    No, you're doing it right. Try the exact same procedure in TextEdit, which also relies on OS X's text substitutions mechanism for this, and you'll find it works exactly as you expect. This is a lingering bug in Pages 5.

  • LR4.1 : "Edit-In" "Open as Smart Object with Photoshop..." feature doesn't work with 32bits

    Hi there,
    I am running LR4.1/CS5/ACR6.7 on a Win7 64bits system.
    The feature "Edit-In" > "Open as Smart Object with Photoshop..." does work Ok with raw files (.NEF).
    However, when i do try to use the same feature with 32 bits .TIFF files (which are output of the LR4.1's "Edit-In" > "Merge to HDR Pro in Photoshop..." other feature), nothing does happen (the Photoshop application windows does open but w.o the image that i've just selected).
    I've used search engines and Adobe online help to see if there was any limit preventing the usage of this feature with 32 bits .TIF files but couldn't see such note.
    Thanks for your help !
    Albert

    Thanks Rikk,
    That did work with a DNG file :-)
    I am working with very huge .TIF files (400MB), so i am wondering if size could be the main issue (although my PC has lots of HW resources).
    I will explore the DNG way, a format which seems anyways to be very promising now with LR4.
    In case anyone has an idea why it doesn't work the .TIF files, please shoot !

    Lightroom 5.7.1, Yosemite OS X - Synchronise Folder function doesn't work in Lr.
    Is there a compatibility issue? I can see the folders/images in Finder but when trying to synchronise folders in Lr it does not recognise that there are any images and therefore unable to import to catalogue. Anyone has any idea how to make it work. Thanks a lot.

    Hi Elba,
    Thank you very much for your reply. Not sure, however, that we are talking about the same problem.
    I am trying to perform the same function in Lr that I have been doing for many years in the past and has only been a problem in the last few days (possibly coinciding with upgrading to Yosemite, trying to find out whether that is the problem)
    I am not intending to sync any files with Creative Cloud but only trying to use 'Synchronize Folder' function in Lr. Normally, I would right click on a particular folder in Lr catalogue and click on that function to check that the Lr Catalogue is perfectly matching my drives where the original photos are actually stored.
    The problem that I only started to encounter is that I can see the files on the actual drives but they do not appear in my Lr Catalogue and they are completely invisible to Lr. I simply can not get Lr to recognise them and then import them to catalogue.
    If for example, I export images to Ps and then save and close them, they do appear on my drive but are invisible to Lr and I can't get them imported into the catalogue. Import to folder also not producing any results as they are still invisible to Lr.
    Completely baffled by it. Any idea what could be the reason?
    Kind regards,
    Nik

    Do you see anything on the TV?
    If you just see your desktop, then your MacBook is defaulting to extended display mode. Try pressing the Command + F1 keys to see if you get the menu bar and other icons.

  • Smart folders seems not to work with star rating. Is there a fix?

    I Rate photos with a five star rating either on iPhoto or Adobe Bridge CS5. When I create a smart folder setting the search attribute to "Rating equals 5" nothing appears on the search.

    Sorry,
    I think I misunderstood your question. You were talking about smart folders in the Finder and not about smart albums in iPhoto, right?  "Rating equals 5" does not work on any of my machines, neither in Snow leopard nor in Lion. The problem seems to be how to represent the rating in the search string. If I search for "Rating is not 5" the smart folder contains plenty of pictures, also those with a rating of five. Does anyone know how the rating is coded to be used in a search string in the Finder?

  • Major change to how smart folders work?

    I'm an ex-PC user and one way I configured the finder to work more like how I was used to working was to color code all my folders red and the half-dozen files I work with on a daily basis green. I had smart folders for both in the Tiger sidebar and they were there all the time. In Leopard they are only there in a finder window and are in the search for area. When I am in a program and want to open a file, that search for section is no longer in the sidebar, so I have to drill down through all folders and sub-folders to find the file I want. Am I going to be limited to launching files directly from the smart folder to easily find the files I need and not open from within the application?
    RR

    By default when you make a Smart Folder and save it you get it saved into this folder:
    "/Users/yourname/Library/Saved Searches"
    If you open that folder you should see your Smart Folders. Drag them into the "Places" section of the Sidebar in your open Finder window. They will now show up in the Open dialog window of your application. Of course, you will have them listed twice in the normal Finder window: once in places, so you can see them in the Open window, and once in Search For. Jeez, don't the programmers ever have to talk to each other? Anyway, the sensible thing to do is to have other sorts of things, that you don't need access to from an application, in the Search For section--or just close that section up. This is definitely another "what were they thinking" moment.
