Application icon in List View - anyone to view as app and not preview?

Hello
I've noticed something new in Leopard that is bugging me.
The small icons when you do a List View shows a preview of the document - not a small logo of the application it uses. So for instance, if I have a list view of a folder with a mix of Pages, Numbers, Word, TextEdit, etc. - I can't do a quick scan and find just the files associated with a certain program - say Word.
Is there any way to change these back to the old Tiger layout?
Thanks

I tried the rollover trick, and it apparently only works when you rollover the attachments at the bottom on the email. It would be nice if that worked at the top of the email when I click the little black attachment triangle. Scrolling to the bottom of the email to hover over links isn't convenient.
Also, the hover-over filename isn't quickly digestible because it gives you additional superfluous information such as downloaded status, mime type and "Control click for menu". See screenshot:

The QuickLook option isn't what I want because I need to find things by filename, often from a large batch of attachments which I have never seen before, so seeing them as thumbnails doesn't really help.
So, from those suggestions I guess the unfortunate answer is Mail.app doesn't have a simple filename view and I have to use something else.
...Off to the OSX Feedback page to make a suggestion...

    has anyone's screen go blank and not boot up after installing the new yosemite OS

    Hi Mofimac,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your Mac is only starting up to a blank gray or white screen after updating OS X, you can find some useful troubleshooting steps in this article:
    Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
    I recommend going through these first three sections first:
    Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
    Perform a Safe Boot
    Reset the NVRAM / PRAM

  • Safari Feature Request: Adding a bookmark : viewing only directories in current directory and not subdirectories

    Hi, when I add a bookmark (on iphone), all the directories (including subdirectories) are shown at once. When you have many directories (nested within each other), it becomes cumbersome to find the relevant directory you want to add the bookmark to. This could be made easier by allowing one to only view the directories within the current folder, and not also show all the subdirectories

    You can submit your request to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    I know what you mean. I have extra bookmarks that need cleaned out because I got a little lost in placing them and went back and placed them again.

  • Tell iphoto to view photos from a predefined folder and not copy them

    Hi!
    I am using iphoto 09 and was wondering if we can tell iphoto to take photos from a particular folder and not copy the photos in its own set of folders. I don't want to have duplicates.
    I already had structured my folders in a certain way and I don't want Iphoto copying them again.
    tanks!

    Best way of working: Recreate your folders in the iPhoto Window and forget about your own.

  • Any view which tells partitioning_type is INTERVAL and not RANGE

    Hi,
    I know that INTERVAL is a kind of RANGE partition.
    But if I want to find out explicitly from a 'SINGLE SQL STATEMENT' whether table is Interval partiioned or Range Partitioned.
    I tried:
    Select table_name, partitioning_type, partition_count from USER_PART_TABLES where table_name = 'TABLENAME'
    But is hows RANGE for both kinds of partitions.
    Thanks..

    Hello,
    Try this :
    Select table_name, partitioning_type, partition_count, interval
    from USER_PART_TABLES
    where table_name = 'A' ;
    TABLE_NAME      PARTITION PARTITION_COUNT INTERVAL
    A               RANGE             1048575 NUMTODSINTERVAL(30,'DAY')Regards,

  • Can i change the behavior of the character menu so that the list begins with the current font selected and not at the beginning of the list?

    Im struggling with the way the font selection tab works in the character menu.
    When i scroll down the list and select minion halfway down the list, the next time i click on the font tab, the list starts back at the top of the list making me scroll down the list every time i want to look for a font.
    Can anyone offer some suggestions here?
    thanks
    jeff

    You can't do it exactly the way you want, but if you have InDesign CC or CC 2014, you can set fonts in the Character panel or Control panel Type menu to be Favorites. Click the "star" beside a font to set it as a favorite. Then at the top of the menu, click the "star" filter to show favorites in your list instead of a list of all the fonts.

  • How can I set up printing to queues on a Windows 2008 server directly from the iPad apps and not from third-party applications without using AppleTalk or Bonjour?

    We have a Windows 2003/2008 server-based network with a dedicated print server which we would like to be able to print to over Wi-Fi.  How can I set up the printers on the iPad without downloading a third party application such as Print Central or Print N Share?  I want to just click the arrow and "Print" then choose the printer, which doesnt show up.  I want to be able to use the existing TCP/IP-based network that we have to reach these queues, not having to install Bonjour or AppleTalk to reach them.
    Thanks,
    KMQ7

    This would really be the "Holy Grail"   right now.  I think this a feature that every large organization requires. AirPrint works on a small scale, but is not really an enterprise class application.  In addition it uses the Bonjour discovery process which is difficult in a large LAN WAN environment.  For those that would remind me, I am aware of the enhancement link 

  • Can anyone explain Diff between except and Not in.?

    Hi experts,
    Sometimes "not in" function is not working.Can anyone tell me the reason.please
    Query 1:-
    Select POL from table_1 where pol not in (select pol from table_2)
    Query 2:-
    select pol from table_1 except select pol from table_2
    Getting output from Query 2. Query1 dosen't displaying output.
    Thanks and Regards

    While using Except
    the resultant result is given after removing duplicates
    the resultant result shall include NULL values as well as present in the source table
    While using NOT IN
    the resultant result is AS IS from the source table (no duplicate elimination)
    But, it DOES ignore the NULL values.
    The following code should explain in a better way!
    declare @tab1 table ( id int)
    insert @tab1 select 1
    insert @tab1 select 1
    insert @tab1 select 2
    insert @tab1 select 2
    insert @tab1 select 3
    insert @tab1 select NULL
    declare @tab2 table ( id int)
    insert @tab2 select 2
    insert @tab2 select 2
    --using NOT IN
    --duplicates returned/NULL ignored
    select id from @tab1
    where id not in (select id from @tab2)
    --using NOT EXISTS
    --duplicates returned/NULL also returned
    select id from @tab1 t1
    where not exists(select id from @tab2 t2 where t1.id=t2.id)
    --using Except
    --duplicates Eliminated/NULL returned
    select id from @tab1
    EXCEPT
    select id from @tab2
    Thanks,

  • HT1807 My send and receive list only lets my select my email and not my phone number. My number is grey

    My send and receive list only gives me the option to send and receive from my email and my phone number is greyed out and it won't let's select it. I am currently in a foreign country but it was working a couple days ago here. What do I do?

    Do you have another device with that email/Apple ID on it with iMessage activated? If not, you should be able to remove the checkmark for the email address. You cannot remove the Apple ID email address, but you can turn it off by tapping on it and that should remove the checkmark. Once that is gone, you are good to go. It will only use the phone number.

  • Application icon doesn't open

    Today out of the blue Photoshop will no longer maximize a window minimized to the application icon.
    I have tried resetting the .plist file and resetting Photoshop neither have solved the problem.
    I can long click on the icon and see and open the minimized window like Expose but that's the only way I can maximize the window.
    All other apps work fine. It's just Photoshop.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Please post the solution so it will help others, and mark this topic as "solved" so it is easier to track the status when browsing the forum.

    also, how do you connect to internet, cellular data network or wi-fi....you might also try it with wi-fi turned off and see if it works over the cell data network..this would eliminate any proxy issues with the wi-fi network...

    Try rebooting the phone by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.
