Assets Panel Date Modified Mac CS4 DW

I do not see the option to sort by date modified in the assets panel. What I liked in GoLive was I could go to the newest images I loaded in. Is there somewhat to add that column and to move the column headings around so I can have name and next to it date modified and sort by newest?

GoLive was better in having the global site open while the design window was up
Making the transition from a familiar program to one that works a different way can be disorienting. I tried GoLive only a couple of times, and found myself hopelessly lost. However, from what I understand, GoLive did have some useful features that could improve the way Dreamweaver works, not only for ex-GoLive users, but for everyone. If you have suggestions on features that would improve Dreamweaver, file a feature request through the form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.
When submitting feature requests, they are more likely to receive positive consideration if you explain why the change would make Dreamweaver better. Comments such as "why doesn't Dreamweaver do it like GoLive?" are unlikely to get a sympathetic hearing.

Copying files to my MBA Early 2011, 10.6.7 changes their 'date modified' to the current date. It happens only to some of the files copied. Any idea what my be causing it. Never had this problem before, on othe macs I have owned.

Copying files to my new MBA (early 2011) running 10.6.7 results in their 'modification date' to change to the current date. Any idea what may be causing it. It happens only to some of the files (there is no pattern to it.). I have not seen it previously in many other macs I have owned.

Hi all
I am bumping this thread again because I can't believe that I am the only one experiencing this issue. At times it is costing me hours repeatedly copying files until eventually the date doesn't show as modified.
I thought I had cracked it earlier by changing the Sharing & Permissions settings, and applying to enclosed items the ability for Everyone, Me and Staff fo have Read & Write permissions - but that doesn't seemed to have changed much.
Copying in smaller batches helps sometimes, but then other times it makes no odds, and the Date Modified date shows as the original date for a few seconds, only to change to today's date. Driving me nuts because there is no pattern to it.
Files which I have copied and show their original modified date, when moved to a subfolder, then have their date changed to today!!! Copying other files into the folder results in files that were previously OK having their Date Modified changed!
Am I on the only one?

Been using Macs since classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) of entire (non-visible) folder? Any apps that can do this?

Been using Macs since before classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents including what's not visible on screen (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) in entire folder?
Screen shots are getting old hat.
Tried select all, copy, paste into pages, but it didn't display date modified, size & kind, and also included images of selected files, which is too large.
Any apps/shortcuts/utilities that can do this? Thanks in advance.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

CS4: Is there an "Assets Panel"?

Hello all,
I was given instructions written for CS3, but software given was CS4. It states:
"Select the photo, edit it in Fireworks, then insert Frame 3 from the Assets panel onto the image"
I've looked online for hours now to find out where the Assets panel is in CS4, or at least how to places this "Frame 3" onto the image. Could anyone direct me on how to find/do this?
Thank you very much!

Without being able to read the entire tutorial and analysing how to adapt it to later versions of Fireworks, I can't say. There hasn't been an assets panel in FW for a while now. Frames don't exist in FW anymore either. They are now called states.

Is there a way to manually custom-edit the "Date created" and "Date modified" attributes of files in Mac OS 10.6?

In "List View" in a Finder window, among the many column options are "Date created" and "Date modified." In "View Options" (command-J) for any folder, one can add these columns, along with the standard ones "Size," "Kind," "Label," etc.
A user can alter a file's name, and a file's "label" (i.e. its color). On the other hand, a user can NOT arbitrarily edit/alter a file's official "size" -- other than by physically altering the contents of the file itself, obviously.
But what about a file's "Date created" and "Date modified"? Can either of those be manually edited/changed, just as a file's name can be changed -- or is a file's creation-date an immutable attribute beyond the editorial reach of the user, just as a file's "size" is?
And yes, a person can "alter" a file's "Date modified" by simply modifying the file, which would change its "Date modified" to be the moment it was last altered (i.e. right now). But (and here's the key question) can a user somehow get inside a file's defining attributes and arbitrarily change a file's modification date to be at any desired point in the past that's AFTER its creation date and BEFORE the present moment? Or will so doing cause the operating system to blow a gasket?
If it is possible to arbitrarily manually alter a file's creation date or modification date, how would it be done (in 10.6)? And if it is NOT possible, then why not?

sanjempet --
Whew, that's a relief!
But as for your workaround solution: All it will achieve is altering the created and modified dates to RIGHT NOW. What I'm looking to do is to alter the modification/creation dates to some point in the past.
I'm not doing this for any nefarious reason. I just like to organize my work files chronologically according to when each project was initiated, but sometimes I forget to gather the disparate documents all into one folder right at the beginning, and as a result, sometimes after I finish a job, I will create a new folder to permanently house all the files in an old project, and when that folder is places in a bigger "completed projects" folder and then is organized by "Date created" or "Date modified" in list view, it is out-of-order chronologically because the creation and modification dates of that particular project folder reflect when the folder was created (i.e. today), and not when the files inside the folder were created (i.e. weeks or months ago).
The simplest solution would simply to be able to back-date the folder's creation or modification date to match the date that the project actually started!

Modify fixed asset master data thru migo

Hi experts,
I make PO with account assigment 'fixed asset'. This asset is created during the PO creation. When materials arrive more fields of that fixed asset master data are known (ie serial number). I'd like to have a way to save those data in asset during the GR without using 2 different transactions.
In MIGO t/c i see the fixed asset number and double clicking on it i access to display asset: master data (as i was on AS03 tc).
Do you think a way to call AS02 (change asset master data) thru MIGO exists?
Best regards,
Ruben

Hi Ruben,
Did you find a solution to your problem? I have a similar requirement.
I was planning on using the user-exit MBCF0005 to call a pop-up screen where the user can input the serial number and from there calling the BAPI to update the asset.
Cheers

How can I use "date modified" from metadata to date iphoto events?

I am very frustrated trying to move photos from windows to iMac. I have a number of photos, all of them have some metadata with date created and date modified. This worked well in Picasa in Windows and kept everything in order. Now it seems iphoto will not read date modified or assigns date created (if there is no date in the metadata) as the date everything was switched over. I looked over some of the wrongly organized photos (there are thousands) and realized that under the old sustem, Picasa in windows must have used either date created or date modified, which ever came earlier or perhaps whichever was available. In iphoto, it doesn't read "date modified" or does this crazy thing where even if the modification date is before the creation date, puts all photos in the order or when they were brought over from windows. I have a lot of photos dated September 18 -- thousands.
Is there any way to get either iphoto or some other program (I'm not terribly impressed by iphoto) that will properly organize the photos in an imac environment. In other words, I want a program to look at (1) creation date or (2) modification date (which-ever is earlier).
Even Picasa is now confused (in the mac envirnoment).
Thanks,
Mark

No, as this is file metadata not photo metadata.
You can adjust the date and time using the Photos -> Adjust Date and Time or even the Photos -> Batch Change command.

How do I change or remove default apps for a given file extension (in Terminal?) without munging date modified on all my old files?

When a program is installed, it seems to be able to do it (sometimes inappropriately if it hijacks file associations without asking) so why can't I? This is for 10.4.
Specifically:
1. Since installing an HP wireless printer, HP not only tries to install a bunch of sales-ware on your machine that you have to carefully opt out of (annoying, but not a problem if forewarned), it changes the default file association for a number of basic file types, listing all sort of existing files as HP printer files. Using Get Info to change the default file type association globally causes it to mark ALL the files of that type as newly updated, munging the file metdata (which HP did NOT do). Most of the stuff on our computer is sorted by last modified, so if there is a way to fix this in Terminal (to simply fix or remove the HP default tag) without changing the date the file was modified, it would help. Note that uninstalling the program that created the default would do this, but I obviously can't do that (and reinstalling HP would have the same effect). So there has to be another way, right?
2. Since updating iTunes to v.9 a while back, every mp3 is marked as an iTunes file even though iTunes has NO multiple library capability without a wonky reboot using the option key, meaning that if I click on an mp3 downloaded since last update of iTunes, it opens automatically in iTunes and gets added to the SOLE itunes library without asking. (There is no way to toggle between multiple libraries or archive media in separate folders; iPhoto has a similar problem. (Has this been fixed in the latest version of iTunes?) In comparison, Quicktime starts up immediately and does not attempt to create a playlist just because you opened a file and listened to it.
(The iTunes playlists are simply subfolders of the single main library -- and you can't create a new library without doing a wonky procedure by clicking option during startup and telling iTunes to forget where its library is located (includin everything in it) and look up an entirely separate one by hand. So any mp3 file downloaded recently is uploaded to iTunes if you click on it. This wouldn't be problem if it didn't automatically add it to the sole iTunes library just because you clicked on it.)
Besides, all my old mp3s are Quicktime files and they are all archived by date modified. To its credit, ITunes, unlike HP, does NOT hijack older files already on disk and remark them as iTunes files. It only marks newly downloaded files as such. But if I try and change file association for FUTURE mp3 files using Get Info > "use this program for all files of this type", it munges the file metadata (date modified) for all existing files!
Note that in HP case, it apparently does it at the file exchange preference level (or whatever it's called) since the OS then recognizes every file of those types as an HP file. In the iTunes case, it only does it if you download a new media file or open an existing file in iTunes, but again without changing the date it was last edited.
Since these programs are able to change the default file association without changing the date the file was last edited, it should be reversible in Terminal, correct? Why does it change "date modified" when you try and correct metadata using Get Info (or sometimes just by clicking an enclosing folder?) Date modified should be a record of when a file itself was edited, not when it was renamed, or other metadata. Otherwise stuff can't be sorted correctly.

The unix commands you need are:
GetFileInfo
SetFileInfo
and maybe find
for cryptic details use the man command
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
man SetFileInfo
You may use the SetFileInfo command to set the file type & the program which will open the file.

Assets panel styles, can i change the color of a style to be an exact color?

Assets panel > styles, can i change the color of a style
to be an exact color? for example, if i want to create a navbar
with the black and gray glass affect style, but i want to change
the color but keep the same style of shading. each style in the
assets panel has a default color, but i want to change the color
and keep the style. i did change the color a little bit by
adjusting the hue and saturation, but i can't seem to get an exact
match of the color i am trying to duplicate. any help is greatly
appreciated thanks

When a style is applied to any object, the Properties panel
at the bottom will reflect the attributes which are editable in
that applied style. The properties which can be edited are fill and
stroke colors also apart from adjusting the Hue and Saturation.
Gradient colors can be modified by changing the fill color.
The nodes in the gradient will change the color from blue to black
or any other intended color of change. If you know the color you
can either enter it as a 6 digit value or you can pick a color from
an existing object.
Hope it helps. Let me know I am missing you query
completely.

Not a problem when using iPhoto on a Mac, which the transfer of photos is primarily based on - not manually managing photo storage as seems to be common with Windoze.
The same should be available with a supported photo management app on a PC.

Can't open DNG files created with Mac CS5 downloader in Mac CS4 Photoshop

I recently installed CS5 on my mac but I kept CS4 installed as well. I notice that I cannot open DNG files created with CS5 in Photoshop CS4. Bridge CS4 shows the files only as icons - no image thumbnails. I am able to open these same files on a Windows version of CS4. Is there some plugin for my mac CS4 that will enable me to access the DNG files created with CS5? Is there a way to use my CS5 downloader when converting my raw files from my camera to DNG files that will make them compatiple with PS and Bridge CS4?

Well, yes...but you'll need to modify your DNG Converter prefs to allow for that. You''ll need a recent (ideally current DNG Converter 6.4.1 or above) and click on the DNG Converter preferences and select the correct DNG Converter options. Check DNG Converter 6.4.1 (the current version) and click on "Change Preferences" to be sure select Camera Raw 5.4 and later then make sure CS4 is updated to ACR 5.7 (which is the last version of ACR for CS4) However, the changes made to ACR 6.x really should be adopted since IQ for ACR 6.4.x is a lot better...

InDesign will not open files in Date Modified order

I have never had this problem before, but suddenly InDesign will not import/open my files (photos) in Date Modified order. No matter how I select the files or order/arrange the files in the File\Place window, they open in name order. I have 200 separate folders with six photos each. These are to be placed in the InDesign document in date modified order. Someone suggested batch renaming the files using Adobe Bridge, however the files are in 200 individual folders for a reason and I don't want to open each folder and batch rename 6 at a time. I have reset my InDesign preferences with no luck. I am using Version CS5.5 of InDesign, Mac OS X 10.7.5. Any suggestions?

How come some of my JPG files show up broken and some don't in my assets panel?

I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and when I create JPG files, some show up in the Assets panel of Dreamweaver and some don't. I'm miffed as to why? I've tried resaving them as JPGs to no avail. When you try and insert the broken ones in Dreamweaver you just get the broken link box. I've also tried to link to the source file to no avail. So, please help!
Dale

Ben,
Thanks for the video. I learned some new stuff about the assets panel that I've been using. However, the problem still remains. Some of the JPGs that I've created in Photoshop CS6 show up fine and some don't. The same happens with Illustrator. I did find a workaround for this though. If you open up the JPGs in Fireworks and create a slice over the image and then export the selected slice, it does show up in the assets panel unbroken. So far it works every time. I don't want keep going to Fireworks though. Adobe needs to fix this problem. In CS4, I never, ever had this problem.
Thanks again Ben...

In Mavericks, is there a way to sort by and arrange by date modified?

In Mavericks, is there a way to sort by and arrange by date modified? I know how to do it in normal finder, however, if I try to upload something or open a document, it will not sort or arrange by date modified. I can sort by, but I cannot arrange by. It always seems to reset itself as well in finder for me. Is there a way to make this the default view?

How to set a preferred view
There are several ways you may open a given item in a new Finder window for the purpose of saving a view, but this method is the simplest. Follow these steps:
Close open Finder windows.
Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
Choose Preferences from the Finder application menu.
Click "Always open folders in a new window" to enable that option.
Open the item for which you wish to set a view. It should appear in its own new window.
Set the desired view in the new window.
Close the new window.
Repeat Steps 5 to 7 for any item you wish to set.
If desired, click "Always open folders in a new window" to disable that option.
Close the Finder Preferences window.

Date modified changes when you do not save?

We have recently upgraded our old 10.2 server to a new Xserve with 10.4 server.
After copying the admin files across we have noticed that if anyone opens up a Word document (say) then closes without saving, because no changes were made, then it updates the file modification date? Am I missing a setting on the server? Does anyone else have this problem? We use date modified to search for files so it is quite important.
I have turned off autosave (in Word) feature and tried again so it is not that.
Xserve G5 Dual 2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.3)
MacPro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I'm answering my own question here, but I've been told on macosx.com that this behavior is a bug that will be fixed in 10.4.4, which should be out this week. It'll be interesting to see if that's true (and it will be interesting to see if Apple leaves this reply up).
Still, that doesn't answer why our shop has one machine that doesn't have this problem while the other nine do. Any ideas? We have some machines running 10.3.9 and some with Tiger, but the one machine that doesn't have the issue is running 10.3.9.
