Automator - Finder - Sort Folder - Print to Textfile with size result

Dear Apple community,
i am trying the following.
1. Find Finder Items
2. Sort Finder Items (by kind:folder)
3. New Text File
This sorts the source folders by size and prints the results in a text file but only the / directory structure but not the folder size. How can i add the "size" information in the text file?
Thanks for your help

The Sort Finder Items action just returns files and folders, but you can use a Run AppleScript action that adds the size information:
1) Ask for Finder Items
2) Sort FInder Items
3) Run AppleScript (I threw in a handler to clean up the formatting a bit):
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters}
set the output to {}
repeat with AnItem in the input
set TheSize to FormatSize(get size of (info for AnItem))
set the end of output to (POSIX path of AnItem) & space & space & TheSize
end repeat
return the output
end run
on FormatSize(TheNumber)
formats a number into KB/MB/GB
parameters - TheNumber [real or integer]: the size
returns [text]: the size formatted as  'x KB' or 'x.xx MB/GB'
if the class of TheNumber is in {real, integer} then
set FormattedSize to TheNumber / 1024 -- KB
if FormattedSize > 1024 then
set FormattedSize to FormattedSize / 1024 -- MB
if FormattedSize > 1024 then
set FormattedSize to FormattedSize / 1024 -- GB
set theSuffix to " GB"
else
set theSuffix to " MB"
end if
set FormattedSize to (round (FormattedSize * 100) rounding as taught in school) / 100
else
set theSuffix to " KB"
set FormattedSize to FormattedSize div 1
end if -- FormattedSize > 1024
set TheNumber to (FormattedSize as text) & theSuffix
end if -- the class of TheNumber is in {real, integer}
return TheNumber
end FormatSize</pre>
4) New Text File

  • Mavericks finder sort folder on top feature?

    hi development team,
    just a humble suggestion ...
    would be great that the mavericks finder include a feature to sort folder on top.
    i don't want to install any bloated 3rd party finder apps that would solve this issue, because i want this basic feature to be native
    thanks
    jayson

    Seems like it solved when I removed the "Show item info"

  • Find Replace from Textfile with regex

    Hello.
    I'm wondering if anyone knows about an existing script that does a find/replace by list like the script "FindChangeByList.jsx" that comes with every InDesign installation.
    This consists of tow parts, the script itself with the functionality and a simple textfile where you have simple one-liners capable of find/replace with regex.
    the Textfile:
    //FindChangeList.txt
    //A support file for the InDesign CS4 JavaScript FindChangeByList.jsx
    //This data file is tab-delimited, with carriage returns separating records.
    //The format of each record in the file is:
    //findType<tab>findProperties<tab>changeProperties<tab>findChangeOptions<tab>description
    //Where:
    //<tab> is a tab character
    //findType is "text", "grep", or "glyph" (this sets the type of find/change operation to use).
    //findProperties is a properties record (as text) of the find preferences.
    //changeProperties is a properties record (as text) of the change preferences.
    //findChangeOptions is a properties record (as text) of the find/change options.
    //description is a description of the find/change operation
    //Very simple example:
    //text          {findWhat:"--"}          {changeTo:"^_"}          {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false}          Find all double dashes and replace with an em dash.
    //More complex example:
    //text          {findWhat:"^9^9.^9^9"}          {appliedCharacterStyle:"price"}          {include footnotes:true, include master pages:true, include hidden layers:true, whole word:false}          Find $10.00 to $99.99 and apply the character style "price".
    //All InDesign search metacharacters are allowed in the "findWhat" and "changeTo" properties for findTextPreferences and changeTextPreferences.
    //If you enter backslashes in the findWhat property of the findGrepPreferences object, they must be "escaped"
    //as shown in the example below:
    //{findWhat:"\\s+"}
    grep          {findWhat:"  +"}          {changeTo:" "}          {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false}          Find all double spaces and replace with single spaces.
    grep          {findWhat:"\r "}          {changeTo:"\r"}          {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false}          Find all returns followed by a space And replace with single returns.
    grep          {findWhat:" \r"}          {changeTo:"\r"}          {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false}          Find all returns followed by a space and replace with single returns.
    grep          {findWhat:"\t\t+"}          {changeTo:"\t"}          {includeFootnotes:true, includeMasterPages:true, includeHiddenLayers:true, wholeWord:false}          Find all double tab characters and replace with single tab characters.

    This is a very useful and easy to maintain script which even people who cant write scripts (but know how to use regex) can do complex search replace mass replacements.
    Would love to find something like this for FrameMaker 12 (as i can't write scripts myself).

    I have visited that site. The first item in the external link says: "You can also configure Firefox to automatically search for text when you type any characters outside of a text field. When typing in a text field these characters should show up in the text field and not trigger the Quick Find bar. "
    What I am looking for is the exact opposite. Once my first search is entered in the text box, and the info comes back, I want to start typing the next symbol, and have it automatically show up in the text box, not the Quick Find box. That is how it was working up until a couple of months ago.

  • Can't find Playlists folder to help me stream with Subsonic.

    HI there. 
    I’m runnun iTunes 11 on OS 10.8.4.
    I’ve used iTunes constantly for many years and do tons of library organization, have made hundreds of playlists, have a massive library with relatively few problems (in recent years at least) and use home sharing to stream to Apple TV, controlled with iPhone and iPad. 
    I want to use Subsonic for long distance streaming, and setting it up to find the music files was no problem, they are on an external drive, the the rest should be on my main drive.   But I’ll be dang - diddley - anged if i can find the folder containing my playlists.
    Subsonic’s default suggested path is /Users/Shared/Playlists.   (Shouldn’t it say iTunes in there somewhere?)  My Users/Shared folder has folders for other app’s like Adobe, but nothing for iTunes or Playlists.
    Under my own Username there is Music, and iTunes within that, but here’s where it gets weird and messy. The only folder with a promising name within, iTunes Playlists, contains only about a dozen xml files of specific playlists I exported to use with a label maker, and co-responding folder called Playlist Acoustica Labels, with a handful of similarly named files.
    Searching in Finder, the only folders with Playlists in the name are within the location: Username/Music/beaTunes/   Besides a few that were obviously custom named by me within BeaTunes,  there is one called iTunes Library (biglong#insidebrackets), and another simply called Playlists.   This final folder has a copy of what looks something like my libraries playlists, but from 2 years ago, when I last even tried to really use BeaTunes; the playlist .m3u8 files are all dated as last modified in 2011, with folders and playlists I’ve since deleted, and nothing new created since then.  (The only files that are updated for this morning are de-highlted .DS_Store files, whatever the heck those are.)   
    By the way, the reason I stopped trying to use BeaTunes was it never worked for me, not once.  After taking like, seriously, hours to load my library, I had it generate a custom list based on a sample track, and it produced other tracks from the same album.  That was $40 or however much well spent.  Anyone with a  huge library ever have any luck with it?  What a waste. 
    Anyway, those are seriously the only folders I can find anywhere called Playlists.   I’ve been surfing Apple Support Pages and various forums for answers, and nothing is clearing anything up.  (Of course there is the red herring hits from people referring to the Playlist Folders *inside iTunes you create to group actual playlists,*  but nothing else than similar dead ends regarding system folders with playlist files. 
    Some of the typically mystifying Apple genius/whatever pages seem to be directing me towards a file within iTunes Media called iTunes Music Library.xml (and with Backup in the name just before .xml, and some other variations of old versions of the same.   The doc’s and some posters seem to indicate that these contain all the iTunes metadata.  I tried directing Subsonic to this file, and to the folder containing it, but nothing ever changes; Subsonic’s Home Screen always shows all my artists, but nothing under Playlists. 
    I saw something about another file called iTunes Libary.itl as a companion to .xml, and I tried that one too nothing.  The iTunes Media > iTunes file I’ve found much of this in DID, by the way, have what looked like all of the apps that I’ve bought, probably all my iPhone Voice Notes, and a group of E-music mp3’s I downloaded when my external drive hook up was not working, redirecting my library to the Main HD before I switched it back and copied all those files to the correct music location..  So the evidence say this iTunes location is running the  media on the external drive, and can’t find anything for iTunes on the external except for the music files.
    I’m just stumped.  I wish there was a way to right click a playlist name, like you can a song in iTunes, and select “Show file in Finder.”  But I tried it, right clicking does nothing.  So I’m out of ideas. 
    Oh yeah, I also have an app running that makes invisible files visible.  That didn’t help either.  Man I’m just out of ideas here.  Something so simple, but then I’ve seen Mac complicate simple things before with no warning or disregard, so I’m hoping someone knows something to help me find where these things live.  This thing has devoured my Sunday morning. 
    Any and all help and assistance is greatly appreciated.  Thanks all.
    Best,
    Brian

    Dear Brian:
    Create a Play List in iTunes.
    Control-Click and open "Export" in the highlighted Playlist in iTunes.
    With "Export" opened:
    1. Click on "Format" and choose "M3U";
    2. In "Save As" name your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; and
    3. In "Where" tell the program where to send your "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u".
    You are done creating the Playlist.m3u in iTunes.
    Open "Subsonic Web Page".
    Left hand column open "Import playlist".
    In "Import playlist" click "Choose File" and open the "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u"; you created in iTunes.
    The "WhatEverNamePlaylist.m3u" should now occupy the space between "Choose File" and "OK".
    Click "OK".
    The file should now be in the "Playlist" on the left.

  • How do I find the photo software that comes with J3608 printer?

    I recently bought a computer with Windows 8.1 and downloaded the compatible printer driver for my All-in-One J3608 printer. On my old computer, with Windows XP, when I installed the same printer, it came with a photo program. But the new printer driver either doesn't come with photo program, or I can't seem to find it on my computer. I just want to edit my photos. Does the new printer driver come with a photo program or do I have to download one? Can you help? Thank you.

    Hi Quinty66,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you are having trouble editing photos, I am glad to help you with this issue.
    I would try the following steps:
    1.) Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    2.) Use the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows, for the re-install.
    See if that installs the photo program for you, otherwise try the software on another Windows XP machine. If it works on XP and not on Windows 8.1, then that means, that is the only software available for Windows 8.1.
    Hope to hear back, and have a great day!

  • Hi Everyone.  I have an old Mac Book.  I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'.  There are so many it is slowing down my computer.  Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive?Pls.help.

    Hi Everyone.  I have an old Mac Book with software updated to 10.6.8.  I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'.  There are so many it is slowing down my computer.  Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive? Pls.help.  Tks.

    Depending on which email client software you use
    the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
    if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
    Since you don't specify what mail application,
    that would most be associated with the file.
    I notice there are some items to the right of your post
    where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
    look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
    Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
    Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
    Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
    Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
    Good luck & happy computing!

    I just updated to Lion. I cannot find my Library Folder in my User folder. I know the information is there as I can see printer profiles stored in there in an application, but I cannot find the folder. Could it have been moved during upgrade?

    It is not missing, it is now hidden.  In Finder option-click Go in the menubar and it will appear under Home.

    Where can I find and download a print driver compatible with OS 10.7.5 on iMac for USB HP LaserJet P1006?
    Ran software update. Apple notes that a driver is unavailable, consult HP (who seems to offer only info but no software download available).
    Any troubleshooting info or hints are appreciated.

    Hi LPfromMA,
    I'm sorry to hear you've run into difficulties finding the driver for your HP Laserjet P1006 for your Mac OS X 10.7.5.
    I have included a document with the steps to download and install the driver for your printer and your Mac. It has a section for a USB connection.  I have also checked HP.com and there is driver for Mac OS X 10.7.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Epson R2880 printer driver problems with Snow Leopard

    I’m running 10.6.4 on a new Mac mini and I’m trying to print to a new Epson R2880. If I let the system choose the printer driver in the print and fax utility, I get a sort of generic print dialogue box without many options, but it prints. If I go into the print and fax utility and manually choose the driver, I get a different print dialog box with all the appropriate print options. I checked and it matches the screen shots for this printer that are posted on the Epson site, so I feel sure this the correct driver. However, when I try to print with this driver, I get this error message. Error:/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpll.app/Contents /MacOS/rastertoescpll failed.
    This seems to be a common problem with Snow Leopard and the R2880 Epson printers, and it seems that most people are able to solve it by deleting the printer from the printer queue and resetting the printer queue. But that hasn’t solved my problem.
    Here’s what I’ve done:
    Manually deleted the Epson folder from the hard drive and trashed it, repaired disk permissions, uninstalled the Epson driver, updated software, downloaded and installed the Apple/Epson driver, deleted the printer from the print queue, and reset the printer queue. I’ve done all of these things several times over. And still I get the same error message every time I try to print from the driver with the print options. Does anyone have any other suggestions for a fix?

    Some of the previous users had success when they restarted after deleting the /Library/Printers/EPSON and /Library/Caches/Epson folders. You might also try deleting the /Library/Cache folder. There is a solution posted from someone at Epson:

    Substitute 2880 for RX580:
    Make sure that you have completely removed the Stylus Photo RX580 driver, then install the new driver from System Update:

    2. Open System Pref. and Print/Fax
    3. Highlight the RX580 printer
    4. Click on the ""-"" sign
    5. Close Print and Fax
    6. Open your Mac's Hard Drive
    7. Open the Library Folder
    8. Open Printer and delete the EPSON Folder
    9. Open the PPDs folder find the Epson Stylus Photo RX580.gz and delete the file
    10. Close the PPD and the Printer folder
    ->11. In the Library folder, open the Caches Folder
    ->12. Delete the Epson folder
    ->13. Restart the Mac
    14. Power on the printer
    15. Click on the Apple Icon and System Update
    16. Follow the directions to install the new driver
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I/Is it possible to silently print a PDF with specific print settings and obtaining the resulting job id (in windows at least)?

    Greetings,
    I have a specific application for Windows I'm developing where I need to silently print a PDF to a real printer.  The trick is I need to set specific printing preferences ... such as color/monochrome, # of copies, page size / source tray, etc.   The printer is always set to spool documents, and it is key that I know the job id (even if its already done printing) of the resulting print job.
    With windows APIs mixed in, I would imagine something like ...
    OpenPrinter(printername)
    StartDocPrinter(...)
    -----> some SDK call to print the document based on the handles I pass it...or perhaps one page at a time after I call StartPagePrinter()
    EndDocPrinter(...)
    ClosePrinter()
    I've been searching for something for days that would give me this sort of control, but I've been finding the documentation very difficult to find on silently printing a PDF through any means other than a command line which doesn't appear to give me the information or control I need.
    Is this possible with the Adobe SDK? 
    I've seen other posts accomplish this by changing the printing defaults for the printer, and then sending the job silently with a commandline.  This has two problems for me: 1) I still don't know the Job ID of the print job, and 2) I can't rely on the idea that other unrelated print jobs will not be sent while I'm processing the PDF ... making it difficult to use defaults as a means of controlling the settings without causing a lot of side effects.
    Even just a point in the right direction would be a huge help for how I could accomplish this.  
    Thanks a lot,
    Wayne
