Assign a finder view of a directory to a particular space at login

I have defined a spaces "space" for doing a particular task. I've assigned particular apps to that space. Those apps are in the dock and set to start at login.
I also have a directory tree that contains all of the various data files that I use during this task.
I would like (at login) for a finder window to open up in that particular space with the finder window open to the top of that directory tree. Is this possible? Any thoughts how I can make this happen?

The problem there is that the finder window will need to be available in every space and not locked to a particular one so it may be difficult to do.
There must be a way using a simple applescript though that you can direct an application to a particular space and if so you should be able to write a basic script to open finder to a set folder and drop it in a set space and then repeat that for the other windows. For all i know there is already documentation out there on how to use a set space with applescript. Perhaps google around for some such info - i'm about as far from an applescript expert as you can get!

How to find the oracle home directory of a particular database ?

Hi all,
There are multiple databases in our machine server ; there are many oracle9i and many oracle10g databases.
I forgot the directory where I installed a particular database so I want to know how to know the directory path where its oracle_home was. For example C:\Orant\Bin.
Thank you very much indeed

Yea friend .
I m agree with u . Because In my Linux server There are 2 database . I have to use Automatic run script (use dbstart) for Database so that Datbase will be auto up during startup. My default oracle Home for Oracle user is "/ORACLE" and also mention it i Oracle ".bash_profile" .
I give the entry into "/etc/oratab " Like following :
vi /etc/oratab
test1::/oracle:Y
test2::/oracle:Y
But One database (test1) is up during startup the server but another (test2) is not . I dont understand the problem .... can anybody give me some suggestion ?
In this pint , If Oracle Home is the problem then How can I find the Oracle Home regarding these two databases ?

View for "create directory"

Hi
Is there a dictonary view where i can find all the "virtual directory" which are created with the "create directory" command ??
Thanks.

ah.. :)
So I should add, that in general those view names are "plurals" (ending with an S), e.g. dba | all | user _ objects, tables, tab_columns, indexes, synonyms, triggers, sequences, users, and so on.
(And the v$ dynamic/stats view names are often in singular, like v$metric, process, session, datafile, tablespace - but this "rule" seem to be deteriorating with new views added).

Files missing in finder view

Recently, I have noticed that files are missing from the finder view. The files are still there (they show up in a "find" or spotlight search and will list if the directory is accessed over the network.) It is as if the files are hidden.
I have tried several ways to refresh the window, none do anything.
If I know the filename and "search it" in the finder window, it will show up. After I "cancel" the search parameters, the file/folder is visible again.
The first time I noticed this, I had a complete list of files in a window. I clicked on the one that I needed, and it vanished from view. This happened on several other files as well.
Any ideas?

I found the solution to my own problem. It is an issue with ChronoSync, a third party sync program. They are fixing the problem in the next version of the program (a beta is available now, which seems to have fixed things).

Go to /Library/Documentation/Help and the corresponding folder in your user account (~/Library/Documentation/Help) and delete the items you no longer want. Relaunch Help Viewer and check.
If the items are still there, close Help Viewer and trash these two cache folders in ~/Library/Caches:

EJB Finder View Links and CMR

Hi,
Can someone please give me some input on the following warning in the JDeveloper online help!
"Warning: You cannot create an EJB finder view link that expresses the same relationship as a CMR."
I'm new to EJB, BC4J and JDeveloper. I created container managed entity beans with local interfaces only to represent my data and relationships. No problems with the mapping so far.
To test the beans I used Session Facades with remote interfaces and build a sample test client.
Now I thought I could create EJB Entity Facades, EJB Finder View Objects, EJB Finder View Links and EJB Application Modules to make use of the BC4J framework in order to speed up programming clients (JSP and JClient).
So I've started studying the JDeveloper online help (which seems to be very useful) and found the above mentioned warning.
Well, better a warning than nothing at all, but some more explanations would have been even better.
Is there no need to use view links with CMR?
How to achieve the same functionality (synchronizing two view objects in a master-detail-relationship) with CMR?
Do you know any examples? I couldn't find any examples using EJB entity facades in the "sample code" area on OTN.
Any comments about other (better) architectures are also welcome. Would it be better to use BMP entity beans in conjunction with BC4J?
Many thanks for your help!
Regards,
Eric

Steven,
thank you for your reply and suggestions - I'll count on that. If I find time I'll read this book. It seems to be very interesting.
For educational purposes I'd like to look at both persistence implementation strategies. I agree that it looks definitly easier to use entity objects. Certainly it's also performancewise a better choice.
Anyhow, could you give me some useful tips for cmp entity beans and finder view objects?
Is there something which works completely different if I use BC4J on top of it?
How to implement a master-detail relationship in JClient (Swing) for example?
What about writing an ejbfinder which doesn't return all, but all data where the foreign key is equal to a parameter passed to the finder method and use this as the source for a detail view object. This could be the primary key of the selected master. Well, I don't know whether this is doable. But that's what comes to my mind spontaneously.
Would this be a solution? I'm still thinking about the aforementioned warning in the online help regarding view links.
I guess the problem is that the foreign key is not part of the entity bean as it's not a cmp-field. Instead you have accessor methods to retrieve a related object or a collection of objects.
I'm sure my questions are not too complicated to answer. It's only hard for a beginner to get an overview.
I'm quite confident that I'll manage this if I give my best and get some help from knowledgeable people like you Steven.
Regards,
Eric

Weird finder view windows

For some reason my Finder won't open up in the iTunes style view. It has the old OS Jaguar look. It used to have the iTunes style view but now doesn't. Initially this problem occurred only when opening the home folder (option-shift-H) but now opening any window with a shortcut (Apps, Utils) does the same view. Not the end of the world, but it is a time waster none-the-less.
I've tried repairing permissions and have run a disk test and all is well. Is it a pref file problem?
Any ideas anyone?

Ah, you mean you've lost the sidebar in your Finder windows. Try the following menu command when you have a window open in the Finder:
View > Show Toolbar
Which is also triggered by the keyboard shortcut Option-Command-T.
Also, clicking on the little lozenge-shaped button in the top right corner of the Finder window will hide/show the toolbar and sidebar.
\[V.K., your post wasn't visible when I posted. Must have been one of those server glitches. I repeated what you wrote, but I'll leave it for the additional detail.]

How to find out names of reports using a particular view

hi guys,
i am newbie here, i jsut want to know how to find out which reports are using a particular view
many thanks in advance for your help

If you go to the Properties for the Folder in Discoverer Administrator, there is a Dependents tab that should list any workbooks using the folder. This only works for workbooks saved to the database, so won't help with any created using Discoverer Desktop. If you are gathering statistics and have the The Discoverer V5 EUL business area and its workbooks installed, it can tell you about Folders Used as well. It contains information about queries run whether the workbook is saved to the database or to the file system, but wouldn't contain inforamation about workbooks that had been created but not run.

Lock Finder view as list in every Window/File picker

I have my Finder in list view: always and everywhere (except for the occasional pictures folder).
Within Yosemite I encounter a lot of differences. Sometimes a folder opens in icon view. When the file picker windows appear (in Pages for example) it is icons or columns. It changes randomly.
Is there a way to lock every view of files to "list view".
I tried in Finder, View Options, set as Default. That doesn't work.

Thx for that im gonna try it....but is there a way to do it without using toolbar or cmd-c...? i mean using only the mouse?why does it have to highlight the file even though i click a bit next to it....?using icon view i can right click next to the folder and i wont have a problem but with list view that i prefer using it will highlight the whole row.....and i dont find free space to right click cause i got many files

Preference files missing in Finder view, sidebar folders disappear

I have a combination of symptoms:
* In the home/library/preferences folder, only 112 files are visible. The remaining files are there, you can find them with spotlight but not in a regular Finder view
* The icons for my mostly used folders that I had in my sidebar started disappearing after logout/restart
* Some, not all of my icons in the top finder menu bar also are lost after restart
* This may be connected to installing new version of Parallels, but I am not sure of timing
Any hints?

Some more information on this topic:
I look into the home/library/preferences folder, there are only 112 items, in alphabetic order
I search for plist files with HOudaSpot in the same folder, find eg "com.omnigroup.OmniGrafflePro.plist"
Using the "Reveal in Finder" command, I can see the file in the folder, which now contains 113 files!
However, as soon as I switch to another application and then return to Finder, this file is gone and I am back to 112
In addition, I have found a "????.plist" file in the preferences folder
Anyone got a clue?

Finder View options won't stay set 10.7.2

Finder view options need resetting each time i log out or restart. How can i make them permanent?
Finder window has no locational or size memory, reverting to a default size and position on start up?
Any ideas how to fix this greatly appreciated

I finally know what causes folders to lose their view settings - even if you have set them to "Always open in..." a particular view (but I do not know how to fix it).
The trigger is setting any window to "column" view. Try it.
(1) Create a new folder, and set it to your preferred view (but not column view). Close the folder and re-open it to verify that it is in the view you have set. You can even set it to "Always open in..." that view, if you like (it doesn't matter).
(2) Now open up any other finder window or folder, and switch it to column view. If it is already in column view, switch it to some other view and then back to column view.
(3) Now go back to the folder you created in step 1 and open it. Presto: column view. (Aargh!)
I confirmed this with a helpful and sympathetic Apple support staffer at the Genius Bar in my local Apple Store. Unfortunately, he had no solution, but noted it as an apparent bug in the 10.7 finder.
This is an extremely reliable behavior, that I have confirmed on 5 different machines all running 10.7.2. It is also an extremely frustrating behavior that I hope Apple fixes soon.
-Barry
P.S. I will copy this to similar threads where this is being discussed, in hopes that it is helpful. Sometimes understanding why something happens can make it a little less frustrating, even if you don't know how to fix it.
