Where are the facilities to add custom date ranges, indexable by Spotlight

The Finder is meant to be just that... A way to find files right?
Well lets look at a simple business scenario. I get a bill from a supplier, I pay the bill, I receive an invoice, I process the invoice through my accounting package. Now with paperless offices these days bills and invoices come electronically or are scanned electronically.
While iTunes mp3s are able to be categorised by custom date ranges such as when the album was released why cant I find files based on custom date ranges such as "Date Paid", "Date Due", "Date Received". I cant find any solution for this anywhere. There are many file tagging systems out there such as Yep and Tags which are meant to be using OpenMeta... But all they enable you to do is tag them by commonly used key words such as "Invoice" or "Bill". What if I want a custom field to put an Invoice number so that I can track it down using spotlight?
This would enable me to completely manage my office files in one clean sweep. I cant be the only one out there would would find this solution useful... Is it the case that spotlight/finder is designed in such a way that it is not possible to add custom date meta data?

Why wouldn't you just type in the Invoice number and have spotlight find it for you? Spotlight indexes all of the text in most type of documents. In my case, I use some Excel spreadsheets, with unique invoice numbers. I type in the number and Spotlight shows the document.
I can also type in the clients name and be shown a list of all the documents, emails, etc to or from or that mention that client. Included in the list of documents is every invoice that has that clients name in the text of the document.
If I'm looking for a particular invoice and know the clients name I type it and also something about the particular invoice that I'm looking for (like "John Smith video card") and that invoice shows up in the search.
If I'm looking for an invoice for a certain person during a certain year I just type: John Smith 2010 and those documents show up in the list at the top.

  • Where are the standalone ACP add-in installers?

    In my last post, I referred to this link:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/connect/updaters.html
    Which mentions v7.5 SP1 which I assume is the version of ACP itself?
    However, on a post in www.connectusers.com somebody mentioned a version 9. I suspect they are talking about Flash versions but just thought I'd check I'd got the correct link for the latest ACP add-in.
    Cheers, Rob.
    PS. Doesn't anyone else find that this forum software randomly inserts CR when you are typing?

  • IOS7 mail search results appear to be random by date also where are the search parameters, from to etc..? help!

    Mail search returns results by random date. Where are the mail search parameters, from,to,etc?

    This is really annoying. Mail search on iOS 7 never worked, either on iPhone
    4S or on iPad.
    Search results are not sorted in any perceivable order. I get totally random results, with messages dating 4 years back jumping to yesterday and so on.
    I have never seen Apple to respond to this issue with earnest feedback, and users are often dismissed.
    I used to have to resort to my Macbook Pro to get decent results, but due to the many mail app problems on OSX, I do not rely on it anymore.
    Can Apple please give feedback to this search issue on the IOS devices? It is really, REALLY crippling.

  • Where are the changes in R3 captured in ROCANCEL, mapped to for Master data

    Hi Experts,
    I have now read extgensively about 0Recordmode and how it becomes part of the DSO and changes in R3, captures in ROCANCEL gets mapped to 0Recordmode.
    But when the datasource is a master data, such as 0Plant_Attr, which is going to flow into the InfoObject, 0Plant; we know 0Plant does not containt 0Recordmode as seen in the case of the DSO. So, without 0Recordmode, where are the changes in R3 captured in ROCANCEL, mapped to when it comes to master data, such as 0Plant
    Thanks

    Hi,
    0Recordmode is the BW concept in Delta Loading to DSO. It is not R/3 concept.. SAP has provided To make the BW system to understand the entire info about the delta. As you know this is mapped to ROCANCEL.
    ROCANCEL holds the changes from R/3 side.
    The delta process (how the data is transferred) for the DataSource is determined in the table ROOSOURCE(in the source system)
    Properties of the delta process are determined in the table RODELTAM (in BI). So Master Data Changes will be handled by this way.

  • Where are the references for a Website in VS2012 stored?

    Hi all,
    I have a Visual Studio 2012 solution which contains a few Class library projects and an IIS website. I can add references to the projects, to the website (add reference > solution). But where are the references stored. If you add a reference to a project,
    you can open the csproj file and see the path to the project. How can I see the same for a website (not a webapplication, but a website)
    Sorry for the messy explanation, and thanks in advance.
    Kind regards
    Sincerely, Brecht

    Hi Brecht,
    As far as I know, when we create a website solution, the website project will saved to two places in default in
    VS.
    For example, when I create a website solution and then location the path like:
    E:\WebSite1 in VS IDE.
    One website.sln file is default save into the C:\Users\username\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\WebSite1\
    WebSite.sln
    In the WebSite1 folder, it includes some Class library projects you created and the website.sln file.
    Another website project is saved into the E:\WebSite1 you located path.
    So if you want to know find
    the references’ store path for a Website in VS2012, I know that after you right click the website project ->Add-> Reference->Solution->Projects, the references will be added into the website.
    And then you can right-click the website project->Build web site, the VS will create a Bin folder default to save the references. So you will see the references
    in the Bin folder under the web site project. As the same time, it is default that you will find the references like the path: E:\WebSite5\Bin.
    Hope it help you!

  • Where are the instructions about how to upgrade to Firefox 5?

    Where are the instructions about how to upgrade to Firefox 5?
    I have FF v4 and want to upgrade to v5. But despite my searching, I cannot find any instructions on how to upgrade. Why do S/W developers for the most part fail to provide this essential information?
    Specifically, does one do an in-place upgrade (install to existing v4 directory)? If so, are all the user's settings/ preferences/ configurations/ bookmarks/etc. preserved? Or does one install to a new directory? If that is the case, how does one then incorporate their former customizations into the new install? Also, what happens to add-ons, plug-ins, etc.
    Install instructions, including upgrade instructions, should be readily available on the same page where the download link is!
    Please advise. I'm anxious to upgrade, but without this basic information, I will not feel comfortable in doing so.

    In Firefox 4 and later you can go to Help > About Firefox to check for updates and update.<br />
    You can update Firefox in the same installation folder.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Where are the print drivers found?

    I have a Brother HL 2040 laser printer. THe Brother website has a version 2.2 driver for this printer. I downloaded and installed. When I add the printer I keep getting version 1.4 driver.
    Can someone tell me where are the drivers found on my iMac?
    Also I am trying to get this to print via a Linksys wireless print server. Do I use the ip address for the print server or the printer when adding this.
    I tried using the print server IP but I get a "printer paused" issue. I think I need the new print driver.
    thanks in advance for any help.

    I have not gotten the driver to update to the newest version. I deleted the Brother Folders as mentioned in the replies, no joy. No matter what I do it ends up 1.4 not 2.0.
    Version 1.4 worked OK for a USB connection, so I went forward with trying to get the network connection going. By trying every combination available I got it to work.
    What HP jetdesk-socket has to do with my printer...escapes me. But that combination with version 1.4 driver works.
    I will leave well enough alone.
    I have 2 other computer to update to SL.....maybe.

    When you go to the Epson website for this particular printer it says:

    And finally, when you go to Software Update it says: "No updates available"
    I second OMT8.
    Yes, the driver file at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398 allowed me to finally install my printer, but does Apple have _any idea_ how long it takes to download a 1.08GB file over a 1.5mbps DSL connection?
    Never mind how much of my pricey new SSD is being consumed by the resulting 1.80GB of driver files all for _one_ printer driver that should maybe occupy 200K?
    Or that the primary article on OS X printer drivers (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669) -- which does indicate that the Artisan 830 is supported -- does not mention or link to the driver file that's needed to make it work?
    Or what a complete violation of Apple's "it just works" gestalt it is to be confronted with the above Catch-22 and to have to search the web and then go through all of the above to make a new laptop talk to a two-year-old printer?
    Yes, my printer now works, and yes, Apple's Support Communities were instrumental in getting to this point. But spending all morning (plus download time) getting a printer driver installed tastes way too much like I paid for Apple and got Microsquish.

  • Help, where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop CS6

    Okay, I admitt, .... I am an idiot that is new to Adobe Photoshop.
    But help the new girl out, here.... Please...
    Where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop Extended CS6.
    I searched Adobe Help in Dutch already but they point me towards options that doesn't excist.
    Maybe they were there in Adobe CS5 and I am reading an older version of the documentation...
    But in CS6 I can only find the option Render and no Render Preferences...
    Thanks !!

    Adobe changed the way video is rendered in CS6. Adobe Media Encoder in now used in CS6 only a subset of the Adobe's full Adobe Media Encoder is included in CS6 is a dll. I do not think you can add new Rendering Presets however you can change some setting when you use the supplied Reddening Presets.  Perhaps if you have the Adobe suite and have the full Adobe Media Encoder you can create some presets and add them to Photoshop Rendering presets.  I seem some compliants about CS6 Quicktime rendering presets lack the power of CS5.  The Rendering presets seem to be stored in sub folders in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder"

  • Where are the actual documents stored in solution manager (KW)?

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding Solution Manager and storing documentation.
    When we in our process structure in a project uploads a word document
    (as documentation), where are the file then physically stored?
    I have checked the table SA01PHIO (a KW table), here I see a new entry every time I
    upload a new word document (or other type of documentation). But this
    table does not grow accordingly to the size of the word documents I
    upload, so the physical document must be stored somewhere else in the
    database.
    The description of field 'PHIO_ID' in table SA01PHIO is "Physical document", but since the field is of type char (size 32), then it can only be a link to the actual file?
    We need to know where the documents are stored, so that we can plan our
    storage strategy and database space management accordingly.
    Anyone knows where the files are stored in the database?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards

    Samuli,
    Thank you for your help.
    After further searches, I have found exactly what I was looking for.
    Samuli, as you said, documents are stored in table SACONT01, but I did not understand how they were stored, as all the data you have in this table is something like:
    FF06010102028000343130320000000074040000121F9D02A37D7259692086C2F0D7761017222...
    So the information can be benefit to other people searching, I will share it here.
    The string of alpha-numeric characters you see above is a "part" of the document.
    Document data is cut into clusters, and stored in table SACONT01 (in field CLUSTD, coupled with CLUSTR).
    In order to retrieve all the clusters for a given document, you need to get its logical ID (LOIO - LOgical Information on Object):
    - Select the document (SOLAR01/02 for projects, SOLMAN_DIRECTORY for solutions)
    - Enter DOC_INFO in the transaction code field
    - Copy the Object ID
    In table SA01PHIO, retrieve the physical id(s) from the logical id (PHIO - PHysical Information on Object).
    Search SACONT01 with the physical id(s).
    Just as an example:
    - 340 entries for a Word document (about 50 pages)
    - 57000 entries for a video (200 MB)
    Hope it will help.
    Regards,
    Rémi.

  • Where are the .joboptions stored on a Mac for InDesign CC?

    Where are the .joboptions stored on a Mac for InDesign CC?
    I put them in the usual directory:      /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings   .  .  . but they are not seen by InDesign CC.
    . . . Photoshop, Illustrator, Distiller and Acrobat are seeing my custom profiles and any default profiles I removed are not there for those apps.
    Even older versions of all these apps and InDesign 6 and 5 see my custom profiles.
    But InDesign CC only shows the ones shown in the screen shot below:  (High Quality, the PDF/X versions[3], Press and Smallest size)
    I know I can probably do a "Load" profile, but that's not the point and I need to remove the default profiles.
    I'm in a multiple user environment and need to lock down the use of profiles to our companies select few.
    Did a thorough search of the entire Mac and PDF/X- does not even show up.   Any suggestions?     Anyone?    I'm scratchin'  my head at this point.

      This was the correct answer:
           Laubender     Jun 2, 2014 12:18 AM  (in response to Maurice Castelbuono)   
    @Maurizio – the standard settings, the joboption files with the brackets like [PDF/X-1a:2001] are stored inside the inDesign app for InDesign CC 9.2.1.
    The path for these would be:
    /Applications/Adobe InDesign CC.app/Contents/MacOS/Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/mul
    or with a Japanese version of InDesign:
    /Applications/Adobe InDesign CC.app/Contents/MacOS/Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/japan
    If you do a right-click on the InDesign app you can show them with "Show Package Contents" options.
    All other PDF joboptions that you are creating are relative to your current User Library. They are stored in:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings
    Where the tilde sign at the beginning indicates the home of the currently used user.
    You can access ~/Library, if you press the alt key when accessing the "Go To" menu in the Finder. Otherwise it's invisible.

  • (261936172) Q general Where are the Web Service source files?

    Q <general> Where are the source files for a Web Service created
    with WebLogic Workshop stored? How do I deploy the Web Service
    on a different WebLogic Server? Is there a way to bundle the
    Web Service project files manually to distribute them?
    Is there a way to configure the directory where Workshop stores
    the files?
    ANSWER: (by Adam Fitzgerald, [email protected]) The .jws files are stored
    in the project folder. This can be located on a local system, although by default
    they are in c:\bea\wlserver700b\sample\workshop\applications. The Web Service
    structure is understood by WLS 7.0 so by archiving the appropriate folder you
    can transfer the Web Service in its entirety from one deployment to another.
