Any way of forcing a folder to open always in a chosen default "view"?

There are occasions when I make a folder which I always want to open in a particular way, such as in List View and Arranged in order of Size.
However, if this configuration is altered, the folder will reopen to reflect the changes.
Can a folder be made with a default configuration which it will always open in despite the changes the last person using it has made?

it should be mentioned that a lot of customization options are not available for column view, unfortunately.
I use column view all the time to browse my hard drive, but there are a few folders I want to watch in a different view. unfortunately switching to another view or from another view to column view by default seems not possible, which is probably due to the nature of column view (you see a lot of folders and can navigate through them with the arrow keys, it would be kind of weird if the view just changed and you couldn't get back in an instant).

  • Is there any way to force iPhoto to present faces by folder for identification rather than randomly?  Would provide better context for identification especially if a huge number of images is involved.

    Before I commit the time and energy required to load and tag faces in 25,000 images within iPhoto, I need some questions answered;
    Is there any way to force iPhoto to present faces by folder for tagging rather than randomly?  When so many images need tagging, over many years, the context of a folder helps with the identification. The work around is to load the images into iPhoto one folder at a time and do the tagging then.
    How do I get iPhoto to present the tagged faces by last name rather than first name? When so many faces will be identified, it is much easier to find people by surname, particularly when I share the library within the family. The work around is to enter names as last name and first name.  Being able to toggle the sort is much more desireable.
    Is there a way to export a portion of the library including faces?  I want to pass on portions of this huge 125 GB library to my family members.
    Since my family members will need an Apple computer to view the images and faces, they will likely have their own photo library.  So is there any way to combine two libraries and merge the faces?
    About 2/3 of my images have been scanned, so the date of creation is the scanned date rather than the date the photo was taken.  Will this mess up any sequencing or the retrieval of faces?

    If I want to carve off part of a library, I presume the way to do this is to make a copy of the library using PLM then go into iPhoto and delete what I don't want.  The result is the carved off portion.
    You don't need Library Manager to delete the portion you don't want.
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    If I want to merge two libraries, PLM implies that it will do this but will the Faces be merged too?
    I believe so.

  • On a large monitor, the bookmarks toolbar is opening outside of the Firefox window itself - is there any way to force it to stay inside?

    Recently I installed Windows 7 on my computer, along with a device called a Triplehead2Go, which spoofs the operating system into thinking that the computer has one monitor attached (when it really has three). When the Firefox window is relatively small on the desktop and with excess space to the right, the bookmarks toolbar opens to the right (and extends outside of the window). This creates a problem for me, as the monitor bezels get in the way of navigation. When the Firefox window is all the way to the right of the desktop, the bookmarks toolbar opens inside of the window (as there is not enough space to the right for it).
    Is there any way to force this menu to stay within its boundaries?

    The screen dimensions are "right," but I don't want it to use up any more space on-screen than is in the window.

  • Is there any way to force time machine to keep retrying after disk i/o error?

    a little background to my problem:
    i've had a hard drive problem previously, and i managed get all the data off of my mac by trying and retrying to access the same files and also from my working time machine backup. after zeroing out and reformatting my drive and doing a clean install of Mavericks i had everything back up running no problems.
    recently, my macbook pro would be stuck and slow in recently imported iphoto pics so i figured my hard drive is really failing this time around
    i try to get a time machine backup to save what i can, but after a couple of tries time machine would just stop backing up and in console i would see a disk i/o error.
    is there any way to force time machine to keep trying to backup through the disk i/o error so i can save what i can before getting a new drive?
    edit: a little more info, i know i have a harddrive error from looking at the console, but when i do a verify disk in disk utility it comes up clean and even after doing a disk repair it comes up clean i still see disk i/o errors in the console.

    Thee can also be a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.<br />
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is an update.

  • Any way to identify emails that were open when Mail crashed?

    Admittedly, I probably had too many emails sitting open (plus a bunch of open tabs in 3 different browsers).
    Mail crashes, and I Force Quit.
    When I reopen mail, a few emails do repoen, but the majority do not.
    Is there any way of identifying which emails were open at crash time? It's sort of my to-do list. Admittedly, not the best way to go.
    I'm on 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, MacBook Pro mid-2010.

  • Af:fileDownloadActionListener - any way to force new browser session?

    Hi all
    I'm using af:fileDownloadActionListener to download a file.
    It works fine except for one thing:
    For some file types it does not open a new browser session but just replaces the existing page content.
    That's really ok by itself, but we have a problem if the users presses the browser Back Button to get back to the application.
    As we're using partial page rendering and af:region this will result in an error:
    Error 403--Forbidden
    From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
    10.4.4 403 Forbidden
    The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable
    So my question is: is there any way of forcing a new browser session to open when using af:fileDownloadActionListener?
    We're using JDeveloper 11.1.1.1.0.

  • Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

    Hi,
    I have the applet that renders some data from a file specified as the parameter. The problem is that the user can do something, that changes the input file and reloads the page, but the applet renders old data (from browser cache most probably)
    Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?
    Regards,

    The initial view (IV) settings within a PDF file are static tags - they can't be made to dynamically-adapt based on the window dimensions,it's the renderer (Acrobat, Reader, or whatever else is opening the file) that decides if and how it will follow the IV requested by the file header.
    It would be possible to use a Page Open action on the first page of the file, which does some nasty math with the various doc.*WindowRect objects to work out how much "wasted" space there is, and then set the doc.layout and doc.zoomType properties - but page actions are a different concept to IV as the zoom will reset itself every time that page is viewed. Users don't like their application apparently fiddling with the zoom level without being told to!

  • Is there any way to force purchase an unsupported app?

    I'm currently stuck on OS X 1.7.5 since my MacBook Pro isn't compatible with anything more recent than that.
    However, I'll be upgrading to a new Retina MacBook Pro very soon and I'd like to purchase an OS X app that requires 10.8, since it's currently heavily discounted.
    Is there any way to force purchase it on my 10.7.5 system so that I'll be able to use it when I upgrade to a new Mac?

  • Is there any way to force Sun C++ Preprocessor preserve whitespace?

    Hello!
    I'm preprocessing simple source file:
    void test()
        int i;
    }with command: CC -E test.cpp
    and CC preprocessor eats all whitespace at the beginning of each line, like this:
    void test()
    int i;
    }Is there any way to force CC preprocessor preserve whitespace?

    You cannot use the C preprocessor on C++ code, for at least two major reasons.
    1. The default -I options in CC are not the same as for cc. Try adding
    #include <iostream>
    #include <cstdlib>
    to your example.
    Even if you add the missing -I options, the conventions for finding the C++ standard headers are not known to the C preprocessor.
    Example:
    % cc -P -I/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/CC/Cstd -I/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/CC -I/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/cc z.c
    "z.c", line 2: cannot find include file: <cstdlib>
    cc: acomp failed for z.c2. The predefined macros (-D options and predefined macros built into the compilers) are different for cc and CC.
    In particular, the C compiler predefines macros saying it is a C compiler. The C++ compiler predefines macros saying it is a C++ compiler. Code that is conditionalized on whether it is compiled by the C or C++ compiler will give different results. If you add -D options for C++ macros, the results will depend on the way the tests are coded. That is, testing for a C compiler or a C++ compiler will not give mutually exclusive answers, as they would if you use the correct compiler. The Solaris headers have conditional code for C and C++.

  • IS THERE ANY WAY TO FORCE KEY COMMIT

    Hi:
    Is there any way in forcing when inserting/updating a record in a block to call KEYCOMMIT. For Example, if the user inserted/updated a record and before saving the user may quit the form. I would like to enforce the keycommit trigger to be called when the form is opted to close.

    Hello,
    Try the following in Key-Exit trigger:
    BEGIN

    DO_KEY('COMMIT_FORM');
    ELSE
    EXIT_FORM(NO_VALIDATE);

  • Any way to force audio to stay on HDMI?

    Any way to force audio to stay on HDMI and not go back to Internal Speakers once the a/v receiver is off?
    To explain what is happening in more detail I have a mac mini hooked up to my TV and my computer monitor using an HDMI Distribution Amplifier. This way I can use the mac on my tv or at my desk. For some reason when the TV is shut off or if I switch the source of my desktop monitor to something else. The mac will go back to internal speakers. Is there any way to prevent this? I am assuming this is happening becuase the mac is losing the handshake with the monitor when I switch my source. If that is the case is there anything I can get to put before my DA that will make my mac think that something is always there?
    It would be more ideal if I can just permanently set the audio output to hdmi from within the mac itself though.

    The only really effective solution requires buying a Gefen HDMI Detective Plus this 'spoofs' the HDMI signal so the Mac thinks it is still there even if the AV receiver is turned off, or disconnected, or switched away from the Mac.

  • Disc in drive that Mini will not recognize, will not eject. Is there any way to force eject?  The computer says it's empty, but it's not.

    I have a disc in the super drive but cannot eject it because the Mini does not recognize that it's there. I've tried the eject button on top of the screen and in the dvd player controls. I wish there was an eject button on the machine. Is there any way to force eject?
    Thanks.

    RGA,
    Unfortunately, I do not believe that it is possible for a DAQ board to generate an AI Start Trigger from an analog trigger, but not be triggered itself until it receives a digital trigger.

  • Is there any way to force Firefox to remember passwords?

    As many have complained about, there is a growing trend for websites to prevent browsers, including Firefox, from remembering passwords. This is absolutely infuriating. Like most people, I have on the order of 100 passwords, and thanks to idiotic, overzealous IT guys who need to justify their own jobs, we are forced to constantly change them to ludicrous, impossible-to-remember combinations of symbols and numbers. (Does anybody really get their accounts stolen because some hacker sits down and tries to guess their password? Somehow I find that very, very hard to believe.)
    First world problems, I know. My question though is simple: is there any way to force Firefox to remember passwords? Perhaps an add-on or external program of some kind? I know there are password manager programs, but the last time I checked, those were all but worthless and didn't work as well as the built-in Firefox support for remembering passwords. Thanks for any help.

    hello andrew, yes you can either [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/remember-passwords/ install an addon] or [https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password use a bookmarklet] to circumvent this restriction.
    in an upcoming version of firefox, this functionality will also be built-in directly into the browser: http://www.ghacks.net/2013/12/24/firefox-29-save-fill-autocompleteoff-passwords/

  • Any way to force a complete refresh of contacts from Yahoo Address Book?

    Any way to force a complete refresh of contacts from Yahoo Address Book?
    About once a month I delete all my Yahoo contacts and upload a new file. (That may sound crazy but I do it from a master file (a database) both to Yahoo and Lotus Notes and blackberry via Notes. Only takes a few moments. Works for me.)
    When I do this with my iphone it's duplicating some contacts, not a whole lot, but some - maybe 3%. I have reset the sync history before doing this.
    So, any way to wipe the slate clean on the iphone and force a one way refresh?

    Please check you contact name in the device and verify if the names does not start with none alphabetic characters (e.g. @, &, *, etc).  This characters will actually stop the sync process and will not be able to successfully complete the transfer of data. Do the same thing with the contact data you have online just to be sure..
    If that it still doesn't work, delete your Google account on the device, restart, and then recreate the same account.
    Let me know how it goes... 

  • New Applications folder window opens always half outside the screen

    As in the subject, only the first time after a log-in or finder restarting, when i press shiftA to open a new window of applications folder, it opens always in the same ugly position, i.e., on my right side of the desktop, half out of it, half inside. This happens only with this folder. If after restarting finder, restarting the mac, log-out log-in, I press +N to open a new window, it opens correctly on the center of the screen. If I try to grab the new applications window either in the center of the screen or in whatever position I want, next log-in, reboot, etc... it opens in the ugly position as I mentioned.
    I tried deleting .Ds_Store file in it, deleting com.apple.finder.plist, repairing permissions (both in leopard and by using the installation dvd), clearing caches, executing maintainance tasks, searching google, asking in it.comp.macintosh, praise the lord, but nothing. Now I'm going crazy, so I need to solve this.
    Ps: Maybe this problem start when I installed magnifique. It's an applications that let you change leopard themes (since shapeshifter works only on 10.4). I uninstalled after two days, being shure to delete its preference files and any other stuff that could have been reconducted to it, but the problem is still there. I tried creating a new user and the problem still exists.

    Hm, I guess that makes sense - the idea is to save power; but the process of trying to transfer control between display interfaces on the fly would have to be somewhat perilous.  This (hot swap of display interfaces) is just not the kind of thing that would normally be expected by software designers.
    Are the two display subsystems made by nVidia?  If not, I'd imagine it to be a practically impossible task to get right.  GPU makers aren't normally friendly with one another!
    It makes sense that a manual switch to the more powerful GPU would be needed to run Photoshop properly, as complex as it is.
