Sort by file location

I have all my music stored on a backup drive. When I "import" the music into itunes, it all appears but itunese sorts and categorizes it for me. Is there a way that I can view the music files in their file locations? In other words, can I sort all my music in itunes by original file location D:/my/music/artist/album?

In iTunes (unlike Windows Media Player) there is no way to display the file location as a column, or to sort on it.
If you want to see the location of a particular file, right-click it in the library and choose Show in Explorer.

  • Can not sort the files in JFileChooser if the files are from remote machine

    Hi All,
    Let me set the context of the question.
    I have extended the JFileChooser to support the listing/view of files.dirs etc of remote location through CORBA.To achieve that i have customized
    my FileSystemView to support it. In general ,the current JFileChooser sorts the file when we have details view .My question is related to this.The default
    JFileChooser has the support for sorting but when i customized the FileSystemView,the sorting functionality is no more exist.I tried with TableRowSorter as well but
    the sorting can be achieved in View only,the model still remains same as initial.
    Any pointer towards this will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Praveen

    Can anyone help me out to solve this problem or any suggestion regarding this ?

  • My files no longer sort properly - files beginning with AEIOU come before

    My files no longer sort properly - files beginning with AEIOU come first after numbers and special characters, then letters H, K, M-N, P, W, B-D and so on. I click on the column header again and it reverses the sort, but still messed up. This convoluted sort appears in all views. All the letters are grouped together, so all the "a"s, "e"s, etc are being sorted by some algorithm, but it's not alphabetical. I noticed it after installation of Snow Leopard, but it could have been that way before. I did a wipe and load and just imported user settings from Time Machine afterwards. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

    Usually, it is (1) a preference file located here
    <user home folder>/Library/Preferences/
    In this case, the problem is not just Finder if it also happens in Mail. Unfortunately, there are a lot of preference files.
    Or it is (2) a background process that runs when you log in to your account. If it is something that starts automatically, it may be one of your Login Items. You can look at System Preferences Accounts pane +Login Items+ tab. That list shows processes that run when you log in to that account. If you see anything that you no longer need, you should remove it. Look for anything there that might, for whatever reason, change the alphabetical sort order.
    Make sure English is selected as language in System Preferences +Language & Text+ pane. It seem improbable that it would not be, but I just noticed there is a setting at the bottom of that pane that says +Order of sorted lists+. Does that have something other than English ?

  • PSE6 - sort by file name

    How to sort by file name in the Organize view of PSE6.
    I tried Display->Folder Location. But there are still two pictures (#15 and #18 out of 130) which are shown at the end of the view.
    More sort options in the thumbnail view would be helpful.
    Thanks
    Hagen

    Not sure I understand what zou mean here Hagen. Do you because the
    images are in a different folder they don't end up in the right sequence?
    Put requests into the Feature Request area by the way. Forum

  • How can I get Elements 11 Organiser to sort by File Name as in Elements 7

    I have just acquired Elements 11 to replace Elements 7
    All my main photos (thousands) are in 1 file on my computer.
    My individual file names are dates - eg "1960-09Sept Venice St Marks Square.." etc, so File Names bring my thousands of images up in date order.
    I have tagged them in  Elements 11  as  appropriate with 1 or more Tags per photo.
    In Elements 7 there is an Option "Display" and one of the options is "Folder Location" i.e file name order, which is what I want.
    I cannot find this option in Elements 11 - all I have found is an option to sort by just "new" or "old" i.e file date order. Fine for photgraphs where the file date is the same as the photo but a scan done today may be of an image in 1960 which is where I wanted it sorted!
    I know you can amend the file date in Elements 11 for each image but I have hundreds of scans to redate!
    I also know you can bring the images up in Elements 11 of my whole file by using "Reveal in Explorer" which brings them up in file name/date order for me but not when I click on the Elements 11 Tags which reverts to File Date.
    Is there anyway I can get the Tags to sort by File Name/Location in Elements 11 as in Elements 7?
    Tony

    Many thanks for your previous message. Very useful.
    In fact in preparing to answer your question, I find that maybe my problem is not as bad as I thought!
    Yes, I have a lot of photos but the majority in digital form are photos (2,500) since the year 2000 which will be sorted by Elements according to the photo/file date.
    I have 6,000 or so prints/slides going back mostly to the 1930s but quite a few back as far as the late 1800s. I am scanning a lot of these into digital form but I have only scanned about 500 or so so far and it is only these that are causing a problem. (I am unlikely to scan all 6,000!). These range from the 1880s to 2000. However, as I only started taking digital photos in 2000, if I follow your suggestion, I could give all my scans the same file date (a date prior to 2000) and if I understand correctly what you say, they will then all be sorted in the alpha/numeric order I want.
    Have I got this right?.
    I suppose, as an alternative, It would not be a real problem to insert a file date for the 500 or so I have scanned and I would then just need to enter a file date for any future scans.
    As you indicate, there are other options but one of the 2 options above seem at present to be my best bet.
    Thank you very much for your suggestions - maybe I can now more or less get what I want without too much effort but I would still prefer Adobe to add a File Location Option as before!

  • Deleting Old iTunes files w/ lost file locations

    Does anyone know of a quick efficient way to take you entire iTunes library, identify which song files "original file location cannot be found", and then remove them.
    I attempted to restore my library from a iPod I backed up, but no dice. Now I'm left with a ton of songs I can't play because the directory location is lost or they have that obnoxious by them. I really don't want to sort through the whole god forsaken library manually to figure out which ones are playable and which ones are not.
    Grazi,

    Go to the Apple Developer's site and download the iTunes COM for Windows SDK zip file. When you unzip it there is a java script program called RemoveDeadTracks.js running this will do what you want

  • How to view file location in columns

    If I remember correctly, I used to be able to select file location as a column heading an sort.
    This allowed me to quickly find any songs that may not be in normal library location.
    I don't see that column option anymore.
    I have itunes match so not sure if this has an affect or not.
    Anyway to easily review file locations in itunes 11?
    Regards,
    bdog

    FYI, I now remember what I wasn't remembering.
    I ran a apple script to copy the file location to another field that I could display.
    Then I could sort and find music files not stored in the correct master location.
    Sundry Info was the script I used to copy the file path to another field (comments, description or categories)
    I used categories since I wasn't using this field.

  • Library has been duplicated, duplicates have no file location. Easy way to remove?

    Library has been duplicated, duplicates have no file location. Is there an easy way to remove them?
    It's a royal ache going through each one, clicking to see if it will play, getting a 'cannot locate the file' message, delete, etc etc.
    Showing duplicates just shows I have a lot to tidy up.
    <Edited By Host>

    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • I get the following error: Error log file location: /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers

    I get the error U44M1P7 Error log file location: /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers
    Does anyone have an idea what I need to do?  Thanks

    Did you ever find a solution? I am in sort of the same boat. I even had an Adobe rep try to help me. For some reason my Adobe App Manager does not work on my Macbook. It orginally did but one day it just would not launch. After numerous attempts of uninstalling and re-installing without success, the only workaround solution was to create another user on my Macbook and install the Application Manager on that user's account. I can then download the apps / programs and updates from there. When I log out of that user and back into my main account the Adobe programs work....well most of them. I have noticed that certain programs, like Muse will launch and work correctly under my second user account but it will not luanch without error on the main account.
    The fact that no one at Adobe seems to be able to provide a solution is frustraing. Everything worked fine one day, then its all messed up. Switching users is not an ideal solution at all.

    When I download firefox, using recommended setting, or my own, all the sub files/folders like plugins, modules, updater end up on the desktop as well as in the file location. And when I try to put them into the file location, they don't. And when I delete them, FireFox won't open. I tried deleting FireFox and reinstalling it multiple times, and a message pops up sometimes that says FireFox may not have installed correctly, so I follow the steps, but all the extra icons on my desktop don't go away. This has happened every time I have downloaded FireFox. The browser itself works, but I need to know how to get rid of these icons, but still be able to use FireFox. This is on a new computer, with Windows 7.

  • File location and name

    If I use iPhoto to import files from my camera where are the files actually stored and how do I change the actual file name? I have figured out how to change the picture title but it does not change the file name.
    If I use iPhoto to import pictures from the hard drive do they get copied to the iPhoto file location or just linked? When I moved to the mac I created a folder named "old laptop stuff" and moved everything to that folder. I am now trying to organize all of this stuff on the mac. Can I delete the picture files from the old laptop stuff folder after using iphoto to import and organize them?

    Hi Dispatcher,
    Where are the files stored? Take a look at the screenshot.
    iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
    As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
    It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
    Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
    When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
    You can add titles in iPhoto, but as you found out only iPhoto sees these new titles. To do what you want you have to name the photos before importing into iPhoto. Either download to the computer with your camera software or use Image Capture (found in your Applications folder) to download the photos.
    Launch Image Capture (keep the little window open that says no camera is connected or IC will quit if you close the window)
    Go to Image Captures preferences and choose what you want to happen when a camera is connected.
    Next time a camera is connected, if you chose Image Capture to open, then IC will open and download the photos.
    Rename your photos then import them into the library
    You can choose to do it either way when you first use iPhoto (this is new in version 6)
    If you choose to copy into the library when importing, then the photos are copied into the library (iPhoto Library folder in the Finder)
    After you have imported all those folders of images, you can then delete the folder.

  • How can I find Bitlocker External Key File location?

    My Windows 8.1 PC includes a system drive and data drives. All the drivers were encrypted using Bitlocker with the data drives set for autounlock. 
    I recently decrypted the system drive (without decrypting the data drives) and reinstalled the OS, after which my data drives required the Bitlocker recovery key to unlock. 
    However, I had "backed up" the recovery keys to my Microsoft account but now I can find only the recovery keys for the system drive. The recovery keys for the data drives cannot be found on my Microsoft account. 
    I have tried to use the "manage-bde" command at the console to obtain the recovery password but I am only getting the Numerical Password ID and the External Key File Name. Can anyone provide advice on how I can retrieve the passwords or the
    External Key File location?
    Thanks.

    Hi Ridgewood,
    As my point of viewer, the BitLocker Automatic unlock volume is also protected by BitLocker Disk Encryption. The user encrypted information is stored in the registry and volume metadata. After a user unlocks the operating system volume, BitLocker uses the
    encrypted information to unlock the data volume automatically.
    After the reinstallation of the system, the encrypted information is lost and BitLocker can’t unlock the data volume automatically.
    Every volume has own recovery key.
    As mentioned in your post, the data drive require the recovery key to unlock.
    I suggest you to double-check the OneDrive and try to find out where did you store the recovery key.
    If you can’t find the recovery key, we can’t help you to decrypt the data volume.

  • Need advice on retrieving Bitlocker Key or External Key File Location

    My Windows 8.1 PC includes a system drive and data drives. All the drivers were encrypted using Bitlocker with the data drives set for autounlock.

    Before I had set the data drives to autounlock I had used a recovery password to unlock the drives. However, now when I try to unlock the data drives only the recovery key (which I don't have) is being requested not the password. 
    Thanks.

    Hi HMcBean,
    How did you back up the BitLocker recovery key? To local computer, flash driver or Microsoft account?
    If you backed up the recovery key to a Microsoft account, please refer to the following article to find it.

  • How can I have uploaded pictures to iPhone or iPad be sorted by file name. Used to be able to based on their folders, but it no longer works and puts pictures in random order, I guess by date, which doesn't work for me. Need them by file name.

    Using windows. In the past I was able to have the picutres sorted in files and by file name and that is how they showed in the phone or pad. Not long ago one of the itune updates changed so it sorted by date and the the another update changed so it went by file name. Well when I got a new computer and updated itunes it won't load pictures in correct order. Is there an option I'm missing or is this an option that Apple should have for how you want pictures sorted?
