AppleScript or Terminal Control for "View Options"/"Always open in ... view

Greetings, folks!
I have not been able to figure out how to script (or, even better, a Terminal command line) control of the "Always open in (name of view) view" checkbox in the “View Options” panel for LARGE numbers of windows; I prefer not to use GUI scripting, it takes too long.
I do not EVER want that box unchecked and do not want to have to manually check many thousands of folder’s checkboxes. As soon as I can figure this out, I will set every folder on my hard drives to always open in list view and write a script such that any folder created will automatically be set to always open in list view.
AppleScript can set every attribute value in a window, except the "Always open in (name of view) view" checkbox.
I have always expected that the data would be stored in the “.DS_Store” file, but, AFAICT it is not; changing the value for a “.DS_Store” file, logging out and back in, and then re-opening it in HexEdit or BBEdit showed the pre-change and post-change files to be identical.
Thoughts?
Thanks!!

Additional info, in case anyone is running into this issue...
If I do the following with the "root level" of the disk image, I can set the "Always Open in List View" option.
1. Open the "root level" view of the disk image - for me, it always opens in icon view. Then, select "Show View Options" from the View menu.
2. Check the "Always Open in Icon View" box. While leaving this dialog open, select "as List" from the View menu.
3. Uncheck the "Always Open in Icon View" box. It will instantly turn into "Always Open In List View". Recheck this box immediately, then close dialog. This will make the setting stick.
I've been able to repeat this situation several times. I might be wrong, but it sure acts like a small bug to me. Hope this helps anyone else who might have encountered this issue.

"Always Open In..." View Options for Root Level of a Disk Image File

I ran into a problem/bug tonight that I can't find listed anywhere and was wondering if anyone else has encountered it. I am using Snow Leopard (now 10.6.1), upgraded from the last revision of Leopard.
I create DVD-R sized disk images with Disk Utility (using "Mac OS Extended" only w/o Journaling) for saving downloaded files. Because of the number of files on this disk, I create single-letter folders (for alphabetical filing) and set up these disk images to "Always Open In List View". For the individual folders, I can set these to "Always Open In List View" without a problem. However, for the "root level" of these disk images, I can only access "Always Open In Icon View" no matter which view option is selected.
For previously created disk images that were already set to "Always Open In List View", these show the previously set "List View" at the disk image "root level" as expected. But if I uncheck the box, it immediately goes to "Always Open In Icon View". And like before, no matter which view option is selected, I can never get back to "Always Open In List View". Note also that I can set this option as expected for "root levels" of real disks - this only seems to be a problem with the disk image files.
I had no problems at all with this under Tiger or Leopard. I've only run into this now under Snow Leopard. The upgrade tonight to 10.6.1 hasn't seem to affect this problem.
So should I be doing something differently now to get this option to reappear, a possible conflict with something on my computer or is this a bug with Snow Leopard? Can anyone else duplicate this issue?

Finder always opens new window

Hello everybody,
maybe this is just a simple one but since the last Update to 10.5.5 I have the problem that my finder aways opens a new window when I hit a folder. I have already checked the preferences and the option "always open folders in new window" is definetly turned off.
Same happens if I use the key kombination APPLE+DOWN ARROW. Since now this has opened the folder in the same window but this has changed, too.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks and bye.

This works fine for me on 10.5.5.
To narrow things down, create a new user and log in as that user. See if the problem happens for that user too. If it doesn't then it is something specific to your account, not the OS. If it doesn't happen for the other user, log in as the user that is misbehaving and navigate to ~/Library/Preferences/ and drag com.apple.finder.plist to the trash. Then Control-Option-Click on the Finder icon in the Dock and select Relaunch. When the Finder comes back up, does the problem still occur?

Cant get quicktime to always open media files

I'm a very new Mac OS user so forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere or I'm just dumb and don't know what I'm doing.
I'm trying to get some media files (WAV for example) to always open with QuickTime instead of iTunes. When I do Open With, Other, and select QuickTime and check Always Open With, it only changes that files association, not every WAV file.
When I right click and do Get Info, the Change All button never un-grays. As before, I can only change the association of that one file.
The QuickTime panel is set properly but I believe that only refers to the plugin. I've looked thru iTunes but can only find a button to make it the default player, not a way to un-make it the default.
Any suggestions??
Zach

Hello Zach:
Rather than me put you through hoops, I suggest you post in the Quicktime forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=122
There are people there that are expert (I am not one) with the QT application.

P.S. There are no dumb questions, but many dumb answers.

Flash Professional CC: Test Movie always opens minimized

If I want to test a flash movie using menu item "Control>Test", the movie always opens minimized. To open the movie at its design size (not minimized) I have to start Flash each time using "Shift|Ctrl|Alt" and then accept the User Account Control dialog box. How do I repair my instal so that I can open Flash Professional CC normally (by clicking on the shortcut only) and have my movies open at their design size when testing?

Same as your other post: Ask in the Flash forum.

When I try to set a default for viewing all folders using the view options, it fails to apply this view to all folders. What am I doing wrong?

I open the 'view options', select the mode of viewing I want, click the 'always open in' and push the use as defaults button... this, by all accounts, should work to apply this mode of viewing to ALL my folders and subfolders... yet it does not.

I've had to work on this a little before it "stuck" to my preference; it appears that if you open a folder within a folder and set the option, it will apply to that and any within that, but not up a level. So you need to make sure you have it set at the top folder level and you have it set like this:
Also, if you have a folder in the dock, you will need to either control click it or - in my case I want column view - you need to Command click the folder and it'll open in column view. I've not liked this "feature" since it was changed in Snow Leopard; previously, you could just click on the folder and it would open the way you had it set.

Option to disable iTunes volume control for remote speakers?

I have noticed that with iTunes 10, the option to disable the volume control for remote speakers seems to have disappeared from Preferences>Devices. If you click the "?" button, the help window gives an explanation of what its for but the option to check/uncheck it clearly isn't there. Since iTunes 10, streaming my music from my iMac to my Denon receiver via Airtunes/Airplay with an Airport Express has been disappointing. The volume is far too low. With version 9 and every version prior, the volume control option was always there in preferences and I always had it disabled; music came through loud and clear but since this option appears to no longer exist, the volume through the Denon receiver fails to impress, even with the iTunes volume slider at max.
Anyone else noticed steaming volume too low? If so, agree that it's a bug?
Message was edited by: Brian I.

I wholeheartedly agree with "I also used to disable the volume control to reduce the amount that my computer interferes with the sound before it gets to the external DAC." There is no reason why Apple shouldn't restore this important setting option as the volume control does negatively affect sound quality in a high-end set-up and we'd rather not just take their word for it that the volume control's maximum setting is the same as disabling it. Why does the volume slider change the output level even when using the Airport Express' digital output? It shouldn't, and it seems the sound is now being force sent through a stupid digital volume control for no good reason. If for no other reason the "disable" option should be restored to avoid inadvertent volume changes via the Remote app for iPod Touch and iPhone. Strangely as compared to several other posts here, my perceived volume level now seems louder than before, not softer as others are reporting. People that are serious about sound quality do not want iTunes or AirPlay (formerly AirTunes) to manipulate the volume level or any other aspect of the sound at all ever, as it can't help but only hurt. I also thought the "disable" setting was available in the Airport Utility previously, but it's vanished from there too.

LOV - Require User to always Search for Values option

Hi All,
I have build a Supervisor LOV,But when I click the LOV(Flash light Icon), the new LOV window opens and it fetches the entire list of Supervisors which takes lots of time and LOV times out in many of the cases.
I want the LOV window should open without bringing the entire list of suprevisor and let User enter some Name to be searched.
To achieve the same,I enabled the option
Require User to always Search for Values option
(Immediately Displays the Search Dialogue when LOV is exapnded)
But it is not working.
Is there a way to do it ??
Regards
Jujaar

Hi Tamir,
Thanks for you updates.
I dont think so,that I need to create a table or Materialised view.Cause I am taking the data from per_all_people_f directly.All the employees who are managers.
But I want that when users clicks on the LOV ,it should open and should force user to search for some employee .
As of now it fetches the entire list while opening up,when the user clicks on LOV button.
Thanks and Regards

I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features? I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

The ActiveXViewer is not downloadable from our SAP site. The file is hosted on your web server, and also installed on the system where you have Crystal Reports XI installed.
Look here, C:Program FilesBusiness ObjectsCommon3.0crystalreportviewers11ActiveXControls for ActiveXViewer.cab. Extract the contents and right click crviewer.inf, then select Install.

What are the options for viewing photos with Apple TV 2?

I have an old Apple TV, and load the family photos on the Apple TV itself. On the Apple TV 2, I know you can connect to MobileMe and Flickr.
Aside from MobileMe and Flickr, are there other options for viewing photos on the new Apple TV? Can you stream them from a Mac, or can you stream them from an iPhone/iPad?
If so, how is this initiated from the Apple TV, Mac, or iPhone/iPad?

You can stream from a Mac via itunes selection (iPhoto events or a folder) - it has 8GB of solid state temporary storage, but quite how things are cached/flushed from here is a bit of a mystery - you cannot say designate 2GB to hold photos or prioritise photos over other material.
Even rentals seem to flush if you've watched them and they haven't expired - relative fell asleep during a rental yesterday so i suggested she watched it today and it downloaded from scratch again, and the AppleTV hadn't had anything but music playing in the interim. Silly this really. There's a post on another section where someone used 17GB of their data allowance to watch a HD movie as it kept reloading!
Yes you can stream photos from iPod/iPad using Airplay, but to be honest i don't think ATV2 offers that much over ATV1 for photos (yet anyway), and in some ways it's inferior.
ATV2 is far more responsive/uses less power etc but I'm not convinced you get anything groundbeaking unless you have a lot of guests who could use it via Airplay from their iphones (and with ipads currently without cameras, photos would have to come from somewhere else in the first place).

Always open files in code view (with option to switch back to design/split)

I almost never use design view and it's very annoying that Dreamwaver CS4 can't seem to understand and remember that. I can be editing a file one day in code view, and when I open the file again the next day it opens in design view!? Is there a setting for this somewhere or is this a bug? Any suggestions for a solution?
Someone suggested I add the relevant suffixes in the "Open in code view" field (Preferences > File Types / Editors) but Adobe has decided that if I choose to always open a certain file type in code view via this method, I will not be allowed to temporarlily switch to design/split view.
Any other suggestions?
Original thread (incorrectly marked as "answered")
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2399024

All I can suggest is that you post an official feature request via the official form and wait for Adobe to implement something in CS6 or CS7 (assuming the feature set for CS5 is set in stone by now).

CRVS2010 beta - ReportSource Property for new Viewer-Control for WPF

Hello,
I use the new Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Beta. There is a new Viewer-Control for WPF.
But I don't know, where to specify the ReportSource.
Thanks
Peter
Added the info into the subject line for this beta
Edited by: Don Williams on Jun 30, 2010 8:21 AM

Hi,
O.K., in this way I can set the ReportSource Property, but if I use the load-method, the compiler don't "know" about the properties of the specific report.
The code
For Each crReportObject In rd.Section4.ReportObjects
brings the message
Fehler 16 "Section4" ist kein Member von "CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument". C:\VS2010\... 484 40 WpfBudget
An other problem is, that "C:\Users\aTai\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\CrystalReportWpfApplication1\CrystalReportWpfApplication1\CrystalReport1.rpt" don't exist on an user computer.

Control to view Sales Order Price for a user

Hi All,
I want to control to view Sales Order Pricing in VA03/VA02 for a Particular User,How can I do.
Is there any user Exit or BADi to control. Pls Advise.
Pranitha.

Hi
Create the objects in the same order. You need create objects that surely need a register in the SCCR (userexits and message VH609).
So, the steps are:
1.SU20
2.SU21
3.Message in SE91
4 AND 5. If you don't know ABAP, search an ABAP that helps you (you have the coding in correction instructions:
Program ID Object Type Object Name Program ID Object Type Object Name
LIMU REPS ZZAUTH01 R3TR PROG ZZAUTH01
LIMU REPS ZZAUTH02 R3TR PROG ZZAUTH02
LIMU REPS LV69AFZZ R3TR FUGR V69A
See the PDF file in the attachment too. For LV69AFZZ surely you need SCCR.
6. To achive that SAP_ALL see the new object.
Other question. Remember that when you mantain the authorizations in tcode PFCG, you mantain ACTIVITY (usually all, ie, *),
you can set one for each pricing procedure that you use, and level numbers (remember that if you see the level 20 in tcode V/08 for this pricing procedure you must write '020', related with alpha conversion, that the object doesn't understand).
I hope this helps you
Regards
Eduardo
PD: I forgot, see Note 1165078 - Authorization check for conditions or subtotals, that says:
A solution was previously only possible using the modification in Note 105621; however, a solution without modification
using a suitable implementation is now possible as of Release ERP 2005 EhP4 (SAP_APPL 604), which provides BAdI PRICING_AUTHORITY_CHECK_UI.

Where is the plist file for the Finder option "Always Show Extensions"?

Where is the plist file for the Finder option "Always Show Extensions"?
I am designing a new master NetRestore image for Leopard. I have all my Dock and FInder prefs tweaked and customized on the image. (They all live in /System?Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences...)
The one preference I cant get to stick is the option to "Always SHow Extensions" It appears to not be located in the usual com.apple.finder
Can you tell me where this preference lives?

user/library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
Hold down the Option key when selecting "Go" in the Finder's menu to see your Library folder.
