Any way to change file size display to NOT use GB or MB notation?

I'd like to see exact byte counts for file sizes from time to time in the windows listing files (without having to Get Info). I've searched for options to change how file sizes are displayed by finder but have come up completely empty. Any chance this choice has not been completely co-opted from me by Apple's omnipotent designers?

Welcome to Discussions.
I believe there are 3rd-party applications that do it, such as [WhatSize|http://www.id-design.com/software/whatsize] and perhaps also [Path Finder|http://www.cocoatech.com].

Any way to have file size included in the first search in finder?

Is it possible to somehow show file sizes when doing a search in finder?
On Panther, it was very helpful to have the file sizes listed. This immediately revealed whether the photoshop files I was looking for were full size or reduced.
But when I run a search in Snow Leopard it only shows name, kind and last opened. Otherwise I have to also add a second search to add in file size.
Any way to have file size included in the first search?
Thanks!

Well, I wish I could take credit for knowing it was there before two days ago... but I dropped my laptop a couple months ago and it finally died for good on Friday, and I noticed this on the new laptop when setting up my Finder preferences.

Any way to change the size of stack icons?

Howdy,
The icons shown in the stack are way too large for my taste. Is there a way to change their size? Also, can one change the font size in the stack display.
Under 10.4 I used to have a folder full of aliases on the dock. Right clicking on the folder gave me a nice, neat, scrollable list of items. I wish I could force stacks to do that!
Good Luck,

Any way to change blob size -- do I need to?

I'm tinkering around with remote blob storage in my dev environment -- doing a lot of different options to see how it really works. One thing I noticed is that when I dragged a file to a document library and it got stored under my filestream filename
in the file system (instead of the mdf file of the provider database) that files it created seemed to be about 61k. So if I dragged a 5 MB PDF file, there would be about 85 of these small blob files. That seemed to be a little small and inefficient
to me, so I thought I could do something to increase the file size of the blob files and reduce the number of them. I tried to increase the filestreammaxsizeinlineblob parameter of the RBS.MSI installation from 61140 to 102400 (and I tried doing this
in a number of different ways that I don't want to count). When I did that, nothing seemed to end up in the file system. Then I started poking around in the database and saw the table mssqlrbs_filestream_data_1.rbs_filestream_data_1 and saw the
blob_size column and nothing was larger than 65641. So it seems that no data is being stored in the file system when I mandate a filestreammaxsizeinlineblob parameter of 102400 and that makes sense now looking at the aforementioned table because everything
was formed at a much lower size then the threshold I instituted. My two questions are this: 1) is there any way to increase the blob_size so it's larger and there are less files on the file system or is that something hardcoded into sharepoint,
and 2) is the 61 - 64k size just fine and what appear to be lots of files to me is really nothing for the server to handle? Frankly, the performance I got was quite good retreiving documents from BLOBs in my test environment, but was wondering what would
happen when it got actual use in production and tons of these files are floating around on the file system.
*This is a different issue than setting the minimumblobstoragesize in powershell -- I know how to do that*

1) Yes you can.
2) It's fine, don't bother changing it.
The thing you're seeing at work is called Shredded storage. It effectively allows SharePoint and SQL to only store updates to large files. Part of this involves shredding files to smaller chunks so it can identify which bits have changed. Because you're
externalising BLOBs you see these shredded files on the disk.
RBS is no longer anywhere near as useful in 2013 as it used to be and for the majority of cases i'd advise against using it. It might actually be causing worse performance as you take a small but measurable hit whenever you use an externalised BLOB, which
is fine for large slow files but very counter productive for small bits of data that are best kept in the database.
Thanks for the quick response, Alex! If you have time, could you please briefly reply as to why RBS isn't as useful in 2013 (my setup is SP2013 SP1 w/ SQL2012 SP1), and what would be the threshold where it *would* be useful (i.e. number of files in document
storage DB, total document storage size, etc.)

Any way to decrease file size of imported AVCHD clips?

Since I got my AVCHD camera I've pretty much eaten up all the space on my HD because of the way iMovie converts the files to a format that takes up like 15 times more space.
I do have some of my lesser-used footage on an external HD, but my Time Machine backup is also starting to get full and I need to find a solution for the clips that I don't want to erase, but don't need to store in the full HD format. Is there any way to compress or otherwise decrease the file size of an imported clip? I always import in the highest quality possible to evaluate, and then choose clips I only want to keep in a lower resolution.
Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Your AVCHD files are highly compressed. During import to iMovie they must be expanded to an editable format (AIC) which increases the file size.
The only way to "compress" these files is an export. An export from iMovie would "render" any effects, transitions or text making these items un-editable in the future. You could export your "raw" footage but this could also lead to problems in future imports.
Newer external drives could be partitioned for use with iMovie storage and your Time Machine files. You can also probably connect your current external giving you even more storage.

Any Way to Change the Size of Figures/Illustrations in ADE

I am running ADE on a Toshiba Laptop running Windows 7. The Figures and/or Illustrations within the book I am reading are all the same size -- small. It does not matter if the window is maxxed to the size of the screen, or if I increase the size of the font, the figures are allways the same size. They are too small and I would like to increase them to be readable. Does anyone know how to do this?

Can you manually drag back and forth with the handles on the timeline? Appreciate it.

Any way to turn off LCD display, and just use a TV?

For when I am watching a movie, or a tv show on my MBP to my television. I dont like having the LCD screen on, wasting its life away.
If I tell the MBP to turn off the display after a minuet, (in power settings) will that leave the TV out on?
If there is anyway to do this, thanks.

While it is connected to the TV, put the MBP to sleep by closing its lid. Now, wake it up again, not by opening it, but by use of an external USB device like a mouse. This will cause only the TV to be active. Once the TV lights up, you can open the lid on the MBP if you like and the screen will remain off.
You have to have the MBP plugged into its AC adapter for the above to work.

Hi,
If you had Find My iPod Touch with MobileMe set up on your iPod, you could do so. For now, though, just change all your passwords (especially the one for your Apple ID) and report your iPod to the police.
Hope this helps!

Any way to change the order of the items in the Files Inspector? DW CS4

Hi,
I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 with my menus split virtically.
Is there any way to change the order of the items in the Files Inspector?
Specifially I'd like to have them in this order:
| Local/Remote Files | Modified | Size | Type |
The reason being that next to the 'Local Files' the 'Modified' column is most impotant for putting updated files/images, and in split vertical mode I have to scroll right to see the 'Modified' column.
Is this a feature request?
Rich

Is there any way to change the order of the items in the Files Inspector?
Yes, but it must be done on a site-by-site basis.
In the Site Definition dialog box, select File View Columns. You can control the position and display of columns there. The only one that can't be changed is Name.

Is there any way to change the document size from scene to scene?

I'm building a portfolio site, but I need the document size to be different from each scene. I'd rather not create a separate swf/html file for each page since that would disrupt the transition between scenes (not to mention all the wok I went through to get the dropdown menus working).
For instance, the "home" scene is structured for 1200x670 px, but the portfolio scene labeled "published" needs to be at 1200x1500px.
Is there any way to change the document size from scene to scene? OR; If, for instance, I made the universal document size 1200x1500 for the entire flash file, is there a script that would restrict the "home" scene to only show the first 670 pixels?

not in flash alone.
you may be able to do what you want using javascript in your html document and using the externalinterface class to communicate between your actionscript the embedding html javascript.

Any way to change the location where itunes stores the backup files?

I am running low on my C: drive in XP. Any way to change the location where itunes stores the backups of my various devices?

i am currently in the same situation. i purchased an external hard drive and set itunes to save to it in the preferences, and this worked, but only for new additions. all of my current music still plays from my mac HD and not the external. i am assuming i will need to re-add every song. the only plus is that when i transferred my songs to the external, it saved my settings. hopefully it saves the play counts.

File sizes displayed in Bytes?....

Since upgrading to Lion, when I try getting info on a folder/file, the size used on the disk or filesize is displayed in Bytes (with GB's in parantheses afterwards). This seems unintuitive to me and makes it a little less easily apparent what the filesize is. Is there any way to change this? I have looked around with no luck so far....
Thanks!
ex:

hmmm I don't think you are understanding what im saying.
Lets say I have a file that is 10GB. In most situations, I'd say its easier to say its a 10 gigabyte file than say its a 10000000000 byte file. If my friend asked me how big the file was, I would say "oh its 10 gigs" not "its 10000000000 bytes"
That's the point of having different units (bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, etc) it abbreviates it, and makes it a more managable number. Spedometers don't display your speed in inches/hour for a similar reason.
So back to the original question. I'd much rather see GB (or MB or whatever the largest unit is) BEFORE bytes as that is used FAR more often and easier to understand. Im pretty sure almost everyone would agree with that...
yes, I can still see the information I want, its just not as readily apparrent now and I'd rather see it before bytes. Am I the only one who thinks swapping the order of this information was kind of counter intuitive?

Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"? (OSX 10.10)

Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"?
I can change it for one conversation, but then it resets to the default, tiny font.
The preferences menu only lets me change the conversation font.
(OSX 10.10)

Hi,
As you may remember there used to be a Messages pane to the Preferences where the Font and colour of the Balloons or background and the Font text colour could be changed.
And there was a Format Menu for character, word and Sentence changes in the current IM or iMessage.
Those have gone in Yosemite's version of Messages (Despite it retaining the designation of Messages 8 the same as Mavericks' version).
All that can be done now is set the size of the font and this has been moved to the General Section of the Preferences.
The Yosemite version has also been fixed to using the Balloons style of send and receiving any type of messages as well.
Changing the Font would involved editing the Balloon.transcript file.

Any way to change picture timezones?

Hi,
I'm cleaning an older Aperture library and I've discovered a number of pictures that are listed with the incorrect timezone. Is there any way to change this after the files are already imported?
To clarify: Aperture seems to store (in its own metadata) not just a file date/time, but also the timezone that that date/time is specified in. This is set at time of import, but in the case of these pictures, it was set incorrectly. The result is that the files have the wrong metadata and will either say they are taken in the middle of the night or will mis-sort when displayed along with other pictures taken around the same time (but with the timezone set correctly). The "Metadata|Adjust Date and Time..." command seems to be able to change the time, but not the timezone in which that time is specified. Many of these files have been substantially edited within aperture since importing, and I certainly don't want to lose those edits...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

You can change the timezones with the command "Metadata > Batch change".
This panel has a setting "Adjust Timezone".
Specify te timezone the camera has originally been set to
And specify the timezone you want to see on the images.
