10.4.4 Find by File Name, NOT CONTENTS !

I HATE Find by Contents that Spotlight does. It's like Google giving 1,000,000 completely irrelevant articles. What a Brain Damaged idea to make as THE DEFAULT. Arrrgghh.
Can you imagine a room full of people, and you say "Charlie?" and everyone answers "Yes" because they know of Charlie? YOU CAN"T HEAR CHARLIE ANSWER !!!
I only ever search by contents of files perhaps ONCE PER YEAR.
Is there an Easy Way to just search by name?

Just to add a bit to MacOSXHints article:
If you installed Developer Tools you can use Property List Editor to make your changes to the default_smart.plist file.
Also, you can avoid the spinning beach ball when you type if you first put the search window into list view (command-2). You can also have this come up as the default view with another edit to the plist--Add a ViewOptions Sibling after the Version key, containing a Child of ViewStyle with the class String, value of Nlsv. I put the version of the plist that I use HERE. Be sure to work on a copy and to save the original! Also make sure your permissions are correct after you finish, and remember to relaunch the Finder.
The only remaining problem is that there is no way Tobias Welti and I could discover to eliminate the Search field altogether, nor to have the cursor appear in Name:Contains instead as the default.

  • I want to search by FILE NAME not CONTENT!

    Whenever I do a search, using either Spotlight or a Finder window, the results displayed are by "Content." Then I have to click "File Name," because 9.9 times out of 10, that's how I want to search. How do I get the search to default to File Name?

    CMDSHIFTF instead of CMD+F.

    Hi.
    In file txn,
    click on "Logical File Name Definition, Cross-Client" from the left.
    Then click position and check for your logical file name.
    If you dont get it, it means you need to create it. You can click on New Entries to create.

  • How I can sort music files (audiobook) in music player on iPhone by file name, not by title name?

    I have audiobook of abt.500 files, all titles are the name of the book. iPhone music player does not understand sorting by file names, but by title, hterfore it plays files chaotic. So, how I can sort audiobook files in music player by file name, not by title name?

    I have the same problem.
    I've went through the pains of merging all chapters into one big file for each and every audiobook, so that at least the chapters don't get played in random order. Month and month of work….. In iTunes 12.01. I can now order my audiobooks by title or by author.
    But once they're uploaded to my blo*dy expensive iPhone 6Plus 128 (which I bought especially to have all my music and my audiobooks on one device) my audiobooks are NOT sorted by author, but by Title.
    So, let's say I have 15 books by Ken Follet, they don't appear as Ken Follet > Title of the book but they are sorted alphabetically with all the other titles of other authors.
    iPods where originally designed for music and audiobooks, but each and every version of iOS makes handling your music and especially your audiobooks harder and harder….
    I am very disappointed and after so many years of using apple, I am considering to move on to android devices.

  • Sort downloads by file name not type?

    Wondering if anyone can help me here. I'm trying to either make a script or automator workflow that will sort my downloads by file name, not file type.
    To cut to the point, I'd like say Reno 911, The Daily Show and the Colbert Report to go to a Comedy Central folder, My shows to go to my folder and my wife's to go to hers, just keep the downloads tidy as they come in instead of having to clean the downloads folder manually every day.
    There a easy way to do this?

    Why not have two separate user accounts - your's and your wife's. Then she can select her own download folder in Safari preferences, and you can select yours. Set up the folder to display in List View and click on the Name column as the sort column (twice for descending order.)

  • How to find the File name using the FTP Adapter

    hi all,
    how to find the File name using the FTP Adapter with BPEL.
    Regards

    Found the solution for this.
    First In the mediator's routing rule use assign property $in.property.jca.file.FileName to $out.property.jca.file.FileName
    In the BPEL's receive activity go to the properties tab and get the property to a BPEL variable. That should do it.
    Thanks for the posts

  • Finding the file name with Regular Expression

    Hello All,
    I am having some requirment to find the file name for the input provided parameter.
    In my program i am having an input parameter for file name. This contains both the file name and file stored location.
    Example : C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\xs234fs\Desktop\TEST_123_44.txt
    From the above example string i need to find only the file name that is TEST_123_44.txt by using Regular expression.
    Please let me know how to get this.
    Thank you ver much in advance.
    Thanks,
    Feroz.

    Hello,
    If you have attached an F4 help to the filename input param, in that you can use the FM: GUI_FILE_SAVE_DIALOG.
    In this there is a return param FILENAME which contains the name of the file.
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR P_FILE.
          CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_FILE_SAVE_DIALOG'
           EXPORTING
             window_title            = TEXT-001
             default_extension       = p_extens

             path                    = ls_path
             fullpath                = ls_fullpath
             user_action             = ls_usaction.
    Else if you have hardcoded the filename in the input field you can use rthe FM: PC_SPLIT_COMPLETE_FILENAME to split the filenames into different components

  • CS6 Pshop - Alerts at startup; "All Readable Documents" not defaulting at opening; Format in file name not same as Format list when saving file

    Just downloaded CS6 Design Standard. System - OS10.6.8 (about to upgrade to 10.8), iMac 27 i5Intel 4core 12GBram 2.66Ghz
    As Pshop opens, I get three alerts...
    1 - Could not load Enable Async I/O module because does not work with this version of Photoshop
    2 - Could not load Multiprocessor Support module because does not work with this version of Photoshop
    3 - Could not load FastCore Routines module because does not work with this version of Photoshop
    Then asks if I want to be connected to internet or something like that. Then Pshop opens even before I click OK
    None of these happened with CS5.5
    I realize CS6 is 64bit. I have CS5.5 set at 32bit because of plugins.
    Two issues I've noticed so far with CS6.
    1 - As I open a document, the Enable selections drop down at bottom of window is not set on anything. I have to always select the All Readable Documents. Not the case in CS5.5 which was always default at All Readable Documents. Could not find anything in Prefs to this issue.
    2 - When saving a document, whether RGB or CMYK, the drop down Format selections are not accurate. The first three or four do read correctly as correlating with the suffix (.jpg .tif etc) in the file name at top of window. But then the subsequent format selections below third or fourth one read as the one above it in the list.
    eg: as RGB file: Saving through BMP indicates same in file name at top (.bmp). However, the next choice below that, Gif, still shows as .bmp in file name at top. And so on to bottom of list. Same with CMYK file.
    Never saw this in CS5.5.
    When I initially installed CS6, I noticed only item in the Plugins folder was Panels folder.... no other plugins. I thought this to be a download error of some sort and dragged basic plugins from 5.5 into 6 Plugins folder. Could this be the problem? Otherwise, I would have NO plugins in CS6
    I have downloaded CS6 twice now thinking the first was corrupted. I used both download options on Adobe page - Akamai and standard
    Same issues with both. One response stated this all to be a plugins problem. I have uninstalled "after market" plugins from both 5.5 & 6 SuperBladePro was the only one. Restarted CS6. Still same problems. Only items in Plugins are what came with program.

    I owe an apology to the previous responder Chris C, to this issue. I misread his solution thinking he meant I needed to delete ONLY the "additional" plugins like SBPro. Which I did. But rereading, I see he meant ALL the plugins I dragged from 5.5 because the 6 plugins folder was empty.
    I thought it was corrupted in download. So if you guys get points for solutions, be sure Chris gets a few since I responded saying it did not work.
    In fact, after removing the 5.5 plugins from 6, everything is working fine.
    Plus I didn't know the 6 plugin folder was for the "after markets" like SBPro which is good to know.
    Also thanks for the fairly quick response. I'm typically dubious about forums as troubleshooting solutions.
    Kinda like sending a message in a bottle out to sea. Never know when it's coming back.
    Sometimes issues are urgent. Your response team has encouraged me greatly  :-)
    But still bummed that Chats do not support CS6 however.

  • How to I find the file name of a photo in iPhoto '11?

    I am trying to simply find the actual file name of any photo in iPhoto 2011, so when searching for a specific file in other programs, I can look for it directly. I am fairly new to OS X, and so this might be very easy to others, however I thought I would simply ask.
    I am working with a MacBook Pro, without a retina display, running OS X Lion 10.7.4.
    Thanks!

    I recently had to re-index my harddrive because of a similar reason (search results not populating accurately, even though the files were there) and so I am beginning to wonder. Consider something as easy as adding a photo to my profile here was tough because when searching for the file name I could not locate the appropriate photo. Although I used your suggestion (make a copy on desktop), and then select it directly, it would be much easier to search in the "upload" window, i.e. finder, and then move on.
    Thanks again for your help!

  • File Name Not Changing

    I am downloading some files via Safari. I then click the file name and paste the preferred name (usually in column view) copied off the Safari window. After a few, Finder stops allowing me to make any changes. I can get the name to open as if it can be changed, but anything I type will not take. I force quit finder and it works ok again. I have had this occur now and again throughout many 10.4 versions. Sometimes I can paste dozens of names, just now I did 1 and it stopped taking the change. Key commands to close windows also then stop working. Though force quit key command brings up that window. Changing name in Info window does not work. Keyboard viewer clicking letters does not work, though keyboard viewer clearly shows the key's typed are recognized. Often these changes pull up a window asking me if I really want to add a particular extension.
    Why does this happen and is there a more permanent fix?
    Or any simpler fix than restarting the finder?
    thanx

    Absolutely, it can do this.
    In the import dialog's filename box, pull down the list and choose "Edit" to edit your filename preset. You will then be able to create a custom preset with a three digit sequence number.
    I've done exactly this myself.

  • Oracle SQL Developer - File, Open , File Name Not Accept UNC Path Form

    In Oracle SQL Developer, at least the File, Open (Dialog's), the File Name (if not all File / Directory Name) Text Box(es) is (are) not accepting, at least for me, the UNC Path Form of Folders on Network Servers. The same UNC Path (or UNC Paths in general) works in the File / Directory Name Text Box of every other Windows App I've tried (from Windows 95 to Windows 7). Is there a way to do this? If not, was it intentional and where can I suggest this as a fix / enhancement?
    I'm using Windows XP w/ SP3.

    DUH! I figured out what happened. In my first search, I searched (using "Actions", "Filter", "Column" option) for "Title Contains 'UNC'" which didn't find anything because the single-quotes were considered literals (which isn't consistent with the "Row" option or with the technical SQL syntax one would expect given technical operators like "!=", pffft, "!="??? Really???). Then, all subsequent searches returned nothing, because all previous searches are combined with implied "And" Operators until you select "Actions", "Reset" (which isn't consistent with any Web / Desktop App search feature I've ever seen). Don't get me wrong. The latter is a great feature. It just needs to be documented better.
    It probably wouldn't hurt to: a) include easily visible tips on whether single / double quotes are needed and b) show an "And" Operator in front of each previous search listed so people won't mistake it for simply a Search Criteria History vs. Current Search Criteria, oh and add a heading that labels it as, oh, IDK, "Current Search Criteria", maybe? IDK, call me crazy (or just another stupid user posing as a developer with 16 years experience ;).

  • Finding Original File Names

    In short:
    Is there any option on the mac or in FCPX to find out the original filename (f.e. MVI_1234.mov) after transcoding?
    In long:
    Yesterday night I started importing footage from a Canon 5D into FCPX. When I realized that it stopped importing I got the message you can see below.
    The file is there and there is no problem with it and I think that it has something to do with the my energy save settings that stopped FCPX importing.
    And I was awake enough to make screenshots from the message to transcode them later manually. But I missed one clip. I do not have an idea how to find that one exempt opening all the transcoded files and the originals and compare their length. Am I missing something here? Is there any log I could look into?
    Thanks in advance

    Not the greatest method because it changes the file name in the browser, though you can undo once you've seen the name.
    In Info view click the action popup (gear in lower right corner) and select Apply Custom Name>Original Name from Camera

  • Finder abbreviating file names with tilde ~

    At work, one of our macs is abbreviating several file names on our server and using a tilde "~" at the end of the names. It seems to happen randomly, with short or long names, and only on this machine. All the macs have upgraded to SL and his is the only one with these issues. I have tried restarting, taking the com.apple.finder.plst and putting it on the desktop so a restart will replace the file, and repairing permissions. What do I do?

    Still hapining. I Deleted all teh preferences and let it make new ones. It was fine, until about 10 min ago. Now its not only re-naming files (when you copy from the server a file it is displaying as shortened, it will be renamed on the mac) but now it wont let anyone copy to the server on this machine. I can make a new profile and it works fine for a day or two and the same thing happens there too.
