All folders - view permissions

I'm trying to grant users the minimum permissions they need to work with their reports. Granting Full Control permission on the folder containing their reports doesn't seem to work, because without View on the All Folders list, they can't even see the folder to access the reports. However, if I grant View on All Folders, they have access to all the folders until I go through and explicitly remove them. Am I missing something, or is this the way it's supposed to work?
Thanks.
Edit: Oh, I see -- I was misreading the "inherit from parent" checkboxes. If I turn those off, they only apply to the folder I'm setting them for, which is the behavior I wanted. Thanks anyway!

No, that's not right. Damn. Sorry. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: Ok, got it that time. I wasn't telling it to only apply "View" to the current object.

How can I set a customized view in finder set as standard for ALL folders?

As I have a large number of folders, I need a specific view in finder: symbol view, sort by program and name. I tried to use this settings as standard for ALL folders, but using the 'set as standard' button does only work for the folder I am in, but not for ALL folders. I even tried to use this settings on the hard disk level in finder, but what ever I tried, it never applies to all folders. The problem occurs on each of my devices and on Yosemite OS 10.10.1. as well as Mavericks 10.9.5. Any ideas on how I can make the 'standard' work on all folders?

As Vinod says, unique key validator would be fine.
However, In Gabriel's blog:
Performing a unique key validation for an attribute that is declared to be unique in the database requires a round trip to the database. This is quite expensive and there is a fast and easy way to work around it.Is false on several fronts:
1). it's not expensive - it's actually cheaper than the alternative
2). Unique key validator can require many trips to the DB to validate - it must check all other rows in the EO to ensure there is no duplicate, and all of those rows must be fetched into the middle tier to do the validation: this is expensive.
The "cheapest" way to do this: unique constraint in the DB

Setting a default folder view for all folders in Windows 7

How do you set up a default folder view of "List" for ALL the folders in Windows 7 including the optical drive?
Artoo

I just installed windows 7. Are you seriously telling me that i now have all folders with mp3s in them AUTOMAGICALLY (THANKS FOR THE HANDY HELPING HAND THERE MICROSOFT!!!) set to some designers whim of what an mp3 folder "SHOULD" look like?
Well i was going to write a big rant, and indeed did, but then i was doing some more research and it seems like i just made everyones day and solved the problem (partially). Or well THIS guy did:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16694/customize-the-five-windows-folder-templates/
After you’ve clicked OK, visit some of the other folders in your file system. You should see that most have taken on these new settings.
What we’ve just done, in effect, is we have customized the General Items template. This is one of five templates that Windows Explorer uses to display folder contents. The five templates are called (in Windows 7):
General Items
Documents
Pictures
Music
Videos
When a folder is opened, Windows Explorer examines the contents to see if it can automatically determine which folder template to use to display the folder contents. If it is not obvious that the folder contents falls into any of the last four templates,
then Windows Explorer chooses the General Items template. That’s why most of the folders in your file system are shown using the General Items
template.
Changing the Other Four Templates
If you want to adjust the other four templates, the process is very similar to what we’ve just done. If you wanted to change the “Music” template, for example, the steps would be as follows:
Select a folder that contains music items
Apply the existing Music template to the folder (even if it doesn’t look like you want it to)
Customize the folder to your personal preferences
Apply the new template to all “Music” folders
A fifth step would be: When you open a folder that contains music items but is not automatically displayed using the Music template, you manually select the Music template for that folder.
Anyways, sorry that explanation doesnt do it justice. I have spent waaay too much time trying to figure this out already. Also that link doesnt say how to 1) copy templates (are they file or registry based?, didnt do research) 2) if you can distable templates
or the automatic re-templating of folders.
THAT is what i want to know! as it is much more maintance then its actually worth...
but once i had set 5 default types to, the exact same thing... it now doesnt matter if it automagically switches it. SUCK IT MS AUTOTUNE!!!
Its bloody hard to frame this question too. What can you say about this? "folder changes to mp3" "customize folder types windows 7" "windows 7 folder changes to mp3" "dont automatically change folders to mp3" "how
to change mp3 details column for good" "automatically change column order win 7 mp3"
The search that actually solved it:
"do not apply default template to mp3 windows 7"
good luck, this worked for me!
EDIT: also i just noticed that neonr already answered this above. i just didnt read it carefully enough. anyways i guess i will leave this and mark his as answer.

Can I set all folders to the same column with in Finder list view?

I set Finder to display 4 columns in list view: Name, Date Modified, Size, Kind. Is there a way to apply the width of those columns to all folders? Column width is not affected by the option "use as defaults" in the view options.

I've just seen that somebody else asked the same question lately:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22368987#22368987
There seems to be no way to do what I want to do.

System really messed up with all folders locked after installing Mavericks

Wow, I love Mac, but this last OS install of Mavericks has sent me for a loop, not only did it erase all of my files except for applications, it turned my computer into a fresh off the shelf Mac and I lost most everything in settings in all applications. I have been working over the past month now to restore a sense of order but things will never be the same. All I did was go to the app store and choose install, this has never happened to me in the past. Okay, I'll quit whining about that and get to my question: Can I easily fix the fact that all of my folders are now locked both on my computer and on my external hard drives. I'm blaming the Mavericks install for all of this as I've never had this problem before installing Mavericks, not in my history with using Macs since the mid 1980's.
When I want to save a file from within an app, say InDesign, or Photoshop, I get an error that the folder is read only. then I have to save my file to the desktop and go to the finder level, find the folder and get info and with my password make the change to make it unlocked.
Foo, this is aggrivating, I know I can't go backward and fix anything that might have been done wrong, but I need to know if there is a way where I can unlock everything like it used to be without having to go through thousands of folders one-by-one doing this unlocing with password proceedure.
Whew,
TIA,
Ken

The screenshot is also showing an external disk, so repair permissions won't touch it unless it's bootable, hence the 20 questions.
I do think you would be wise to boot to recovery & repair the boot disk permissions before we address the other permissions.
I would also use a hidden tool to reset all the user permissions too…
Backup before you begin just in case.
Boot holding cmd+R. Recovery mode should startup (assuming you have a recovery partition).
Select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
Enter the word…
resetpassword
… & hit return.
The GUI app will open, select the main boot HD.
Select your user account in the popup menu.
Then click the Reset button at the bottom right. It will "Reset Home Folder Permissions & ACL's"
Repeat for the other users.
Quit ResetPassword from the menu,
Quit Terminal
Another important question, do you care about the permissions on the externals? We can disable them for the entire volume. Obviously this leaves you open to other users viewing the files or deleting them etc, however anyone with physical access could damage your stuff anyway.

Console.app "All messages" view is empty

When I open the Console.app on my new MacBook Air, the "All messages" view is empty. I've tried deleting logs and fixing permissions, but to no avail. Any tips?

Yes, you've found one: it happens to me too. Got a new MacBook Pro today, transferred everything via Time Machine, and now I have a few things that don't work, but the Console is completely blank.
I'm guessing the "all" query tries to access some file I have no rights for. That could very well be, since I don't log in as admin. And sure, when I do log in as admin, I can see the logs. They're quite full, actually.

Mac does not list all folders in a SMB share

Hi guys, this is a bit of a weird one and I've tried everything I can think of.
In our house we have a media centre running Windows 7. It has several shares, one of which we'll call folder "X". Folder X opens correctly on the media centre, and any other Windows machine perfectly. Almost every other machine in the house is running OS X 10.6, and one of my housemates today noted that some of the folders inside of folder X were not listed on a Mac. So far we've tested it on 2 Macs and 2 Windows machines, and everytime the Windows machine lists all folders inside of X, where the Mac does not. The weird thing is, it's cutting them out alphabetically, so it's basically from D through to I that are missing, all in all there are 30 (out of 160) folders missing inside of Folder X...here's what I've tried.
On the Windows 7 machine:
-Restarted server service
-Removed Share X and re-added
-Checked share permissions on folder X
-Checked permissions on folder X, propagated to all child folders just in case.
-Restarted machine after every change.
On the Macs we haven't really tried much as there's not much we can think to change. We've tried Finder, Path Finder (which I'm guessing will be exactly the same), restarting, removing from workgroup and re-adding...I can't think what would cause such a weird problem.
To make things harder we don't know exactly when it started happening but the OSX machines definitely used to list the folders and it happens on more than one mac. which I guess makes me think it's something on the Windows client. The 30 folders are not using any nonstandard characters, some are only a few letters long.
Ideas on a postcard!?

Reporting the same problem.
1. Have Windows 7 MediaCenter with file sharing set up properly (LM+NTLM Authentication allowed and 128-bit encryption disabled in security policies).
2. Test folder ("C:\income") and all the subfolders' owner is 'Guest', full access is granted for everyone.
3. Connecting to MediaCenter from MacBook with Finder by pressing Cmd+K and typing smb://ip-addr/income
4. Finder connects successfully, but some sub-folders and files are not being listed.
Workaround:
5. You can open a not-listed folder directly by pressing Cmd+K and typing smb://ip-addr/income/some-invisible-folder
6. Voila! You're inside invisible folder.
In the meantime, i can see all the sub-folders on a Windows XP client machine, so i can make a conclusion that all of these 'invisible' sub-folders are actually accessible by Finder, but in some reason are just not being listed on Mac.

Opening all folders in a folder

In OS9 you could open and close all folders in a folder with key strokes. It's been years since I did it, now I have to do it in OS10.3.9 to show all files on disc's I'm creating. Sure could use a little help.

You mean using List view, do a Select All (Command-A) and then hit the right arrow ? Select All again if needed and right arrow again. Left arrow closes all the selected ones at once.
Or did you have another view in mind ?

Bridge will do the job. View > Sort > ByType. Then you can choose a group of one type and put the files in a separate folder.

Add-mailboxfolderspermission to all folders, not one at a time

I wanted to add folder permissions to a user but it seem you can only give permission to folders one a time. Bu I wanted to add permissions to all folders at one time, is there a parameter I can use ? Here is the example of adding permissions to the in Inbox
and you have repeat this for other folders. Exchange 2010
Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity
[email protected]:\Inbox -User [email protected] -AccessRights Owner

Hi,
I’ve searched a lot and at this time, there is no a command that allows us to set folder permission for multiple folders at a time in Exchange server. I’d like to help you, but we just have single command lines here. Some scripts may help you to achieve
this goal, in order to resolve your problem more efficiently, you can post to Script forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems to get better help.

Folders View Prefs

Some of my thousands of folders have, say... a handful of folders in them or maybe a couple of text files. I want them to be displayed as icons.
Some of my thousands of folders have a lot of items in them. I want them displayed in list view.
Some of my thousands of folders contain huge, deep hierarchies of other folders and files, making column view the appropriate appearance.
Apple's decision to throw out all of my thousands of folders' view prefs and make my compensating with on-the-fly keystroke fixes (-1 through -4) that are ignored on subsequent viewings unless I +opt in+ ...on a +folder by folder basis+ is SOOOOO obnoxious. I want every folder to remember how I left it last time I was in it. Any ideas?
Joel
p.s. -Down goes 'down' into a folder, and -Up goes 'up' one folder. In Tiger, if I held option, it would close the window I was in at the same time. Now, despite claims of the same shortcuts in the help and "always open folders in a new window" set in my Finder prefs, it opens folders in the same window. The Finder is not a web browser; Different contents are best displayed in windows of different sizes, in different locations, with different file views! Any ideas?

Yes, that setting is there but it does NOT work correctly. An example would be setting Folder A to Icon View using that option, then setting another folder within that (call it folder B) to List View using that option.
All is well when either folder is opened directly, but if you open Folder A then open Folder B, and then use the back button to return to Folder A, Folder A will display in Folder B's type of view.
Very frustrating after a pretty smooth upgrade!!

Closing all folders and subfolders within a window with one command

In list view, is there a way to close all folders and subfolders within a window with one command, instead of having to close each individually?
Thanks!

Thanks, all, for your feedback, but no cigar, yet:
- opening folders with "option" is possible but problematic
- none of this solves the question of closing all the folders and subfolders within a window in one shot.
Any better solution would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Turn off icon preview on all folders?

Looking for a good way to turn off icon previews on all folders, especially on a networked drive.
If I open a folder and choose View > Show View Options, I can turn off the icon previews for that folder, but the others remain unchanged. (Even if I push the use as defaults button)
Is there a script to command that I can run to change this on all folders recursively?

Thanks!!! I had been looking for like 25mins before i luckily ran into this thread!

Collapse all Folders in Finder

Is there a way to collapse /all/ folders in Finder instead of hunting them down and closing all of them one by one?
Thanks.

I really still do not understand this question. Presumably you are not referring to List View (which is what I associate with collapse/expand). Icon View will open/close folders; List View will expand/collapse directory trees; Column View will scroll through path hierarchies; which one are you trying to do?
Do you mean you want to open multiple folders while in Icon View? If so, select the folders you want and hit ⌘+↓. All of them will open as long as they are all from the same Finder window. Afterwards, for you to close all Finder windows except one, you'd need to use one of the two AppleScripts I linked earlier.
Maybe you are asking for a method to double-click one folder and have it and all its subfolders open up in their own Finder windows (essentially, you want to open all nested folders with one click)? I think you'd need to build an AppleScript for that. The OS will not have such a function built in because the depth of some directory trees could easily freeze a computer.
i have a ton of documents and it is really inconvenient to have to open /all/ the folder to find things.
If you assigned non-generic names to your folders and documents, you should be able to use Spotlight and Smart Folders to get to your files. For example, since I name my project files with the format DateProject_DocumentVersion, it's easy for me to create a Smart Folder that shows me all finalized/approved parts lists from a project I did two years ago, regardless of where they're located in my archives. It's even easier if you also use Spotlight Comments and/or color labels.
then when i get them open it is a total pita going and collapsing all of them. i guess i can close out of the finder window altogether but i'd like to stay in the same window and keep working.
Did you try either one of the two AppleScripts I linked earlier? They allow you to close all Finder windows except the active one. Finder doesn't have a built-in, default option to close all windows except the active one.
btw, i'd also like to do the equivalent for windows on the desktop so i can get to the desktop quickly. right now I have to move them over or minimize them one by one...
i guess getting familiar with expose or witch may do this?
Exposé can temporarily displace (not hide) all windows to show just the Desktop. ⌥⌘H will hide all other applications except the active one (or if you wish to specify which particular application stays unhidden, ⌥⌘+click the app's icon on the Dock). To actually hide (not close) all visible windows, you'll need to run an AppleScript ➚.
also can i ask you if there is a way for me to post a video of screenshots to this site? i have an issue that would be helped by doing this...
You'd need to upload to a video host, like YouTube, and then paste the link over here.
