Can color tagging a full file name be restored in OS 10.9.2?

Can color tagging of a full file name, rather than just a tiny dot, be restored to OS 10.9.2, as was possible in 10.9.1?

You can use one of the third-party Finder alternatives. Path Finder, XtrFinder, Total Finder. I've never used them so I can't recommend.

Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. Any ideas?

Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. It finds some things, but is not to be depended upon. Any ideas?

If you still have problems, open Console app, select All Messages, then search for mds in the search field. Then search for mdworker. See if there are any messages indicating it is having problems with certain files.
You can also delete the index altogether and cause it to reindex with a command in Terminal. I have always assumed the method above will do the same, but I'm not certain. You must run this command while logged into an admin account. Copy the whole line and paste it into Terminal.

Make sure you have FULL control over the entire folder where that song is. It might even be a permissions problems on the folder(s) above it.
Also in Vista, it sometimes isn't enough to have read/write control. You need FULL control.

Full file names on Desktop Icons

coming from 10.5, all of my desktop icons revealed the full file name. under the icons. Now on 10.6.2, they are "..." abbreviated. I've looked everywhere and through the "Show View Options" by right-clicking, it only allows me to choose between showing the file info (like size), but not the full names.
Is there an option somewhere to address this?
Thanks!

Set the grid spacing wider in the view options (View menu, Show View Options).

Can we control the PDF file name that is generated by BI Publisher based on the content in the input PDF

can we control the PDF file name that is generated by BI Publisher based on the content in the input PDF?

No, there isn't. The way you're using the file is not recommended. You
should use a review tracker to avoid getting in the way of one another.

View full file names of mail attachment titles in MAIL application (Apple)

I often get many attachments sent to me and when I am looking through emails for some reason all attachments show up as an ICON with a shortened version of the name of the file. It is always just the first 10 or so characters of the title and the last 3, which is usually the (.gif, .pdf, etc...)
A lot of what I get usually has the similar titles and only seeing the first few characters is not making things easy for me to find exactly what I am looking for.
Is there a way to view the full file name within the mail and within the application without having to open each file up each time in the APPLE MAIL application?
Maybe there's a way to show all attachments as a list with a smaller icon?
Anything that'll let me view the full title of all attachments would help.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I agree it is frustrating and literally just sent the wrong attachment to a customer because I was trying to live with the truncated filename system. I did find this nifty app called Mail Iconizer (http://lokiware.info/Mail-Attachments-Iconizer). It's pretty neat as it lets you control how attachments are viewed as well as pdfs and images (based on size). It's a free unlimited trial and $15 if you want to register so it's pretty inexpensive.

What causes the full file name to be listed with bookmarks?

Good morning! What drives RH to list the full file name in
bookmark code in some files, and in others its just the
href="#bookmark? If you change the file name...all the bookmark
links with full file names break. Am I doing something wrong when I
created them...? Not sure how that's possible...but something is
driving this! Any helpful hints from the masters online?

Hi Teri
It's been my experience that if you elect to create a link
from inside the topic to a bookmark, and you choose the bookmark
from the dialog, you end up with a link that simply has the hash
and the bookmark (#Bookmark).
Where you see the file name preceding the hash and the
bookmark, odds are the link was created by the user clicking the
bookmark in either the Project Manager or the Topic List and
dragging from there to create the link. When links are created in
that fashion (I'm addicted to creating links that way myself - it's
like crack to me - if I knew what that was like LOL) RoboHelp
creates the link with the file name (FileName.htm#Bookmark).
Cheers... Rick

How to get full file name on MAC?

Hi,
In my plug-in, I have to get the full file name of the file opened in illustrator on MAC OS X. The following code works fine:
SPPlatformFileSpecification theFileSpec;
AIErr error = sAIDocument->GetDocumentFileSpecification(&theFileSpec);
theFileSpec.name gives the file name of the open AI File.
But, if the filename is greater than 31 characters (including extension), the returned filename is turncated to 31 characters in the format: {FIRST_22_Characters}#{5_DIGIT_NO}.ai. for example: if the file name is: 3896420_Sports_Football_Training_Top_II.ai
The returned fileName is: 3896420_Sports_Footbal#3240A.ai
Is there any other Illustrator API or a native MAC API to get the actual file name?
Please Help
Thanks,
Hitesh

Hi,
hopefully I am steering you in the right direction, but if I recall, SPPlatformFileSpecification is an FSSpec, have you tried FSpMakeFSRef and seeing if the problem persists once converted to an FSRef?

Show full file name in File Open Recent Files menu.

I would like to be able to see the full file name in the File > Open Recent Files menu. With long file names, I cannot differentiate between the file I want to edit and the series of images I exported - they all look the same when truncated. (Mac)

I'm working in CS6 on Windows and wondering exactly the same thing. I usually export PDFs or JPGs of current work using the same or very similar names for tracking purposes but trying to open recent files then becomes a game of trying to figure out which of the various identically-truncated file names actually corresponds to the file I want to reopen.
Is there a way to get Illustrator to display the FULL file name in the Open Recent Files menu?

How can I show my pictures' (files') name in Adobe Muse lightbox?

How can I show my pictures' (files') name in Adobe Muse lightbox?
For example: DSC_0022.jpg

Hello,
Muse does not pick up and display the file name by default.
However, the slideshow Lightbox has a Caption option in which you can manually type the file name there and display it anywhere on/around the picture.

Can we have . inbetween the file name when we use WEB.SHOW_DOCUM

i am using froms 10 g
i have 2 buttons .on clicking those buttons i have to open a csv files.
for that i have used WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT in button Pressed.
the name of the csv files is as follows
1. ICCM_PAK_MLP_IN1CE_15092006_ReceptionSDB.csv
2. ICCM_PAK_MLP.tar.gz_ReceptionSDB.csv
the 1 st button will open the first file and the second will open the second .csv file
On pressing the button 1 it opens the first csv file ICCM_PAK_MLP_IN1CE_15092006_ReceptionSDB.csv
correctly.
but the problem is ,On pressing the button 2 is not opening the file whereas it pop ups a window asking do you want to extract the zip file if i say yes it is not doing anything.
i think the problem is with the csv file name
ICCM_PAK_MLP.tar.gz_ReceptionSDB.csv
can we have . inbetween the file name i thk it is considering the .tar which is inbetween the file name as file type
anyone please advise

"can we have . inbetween the file name i thk it is considering the .tar which is inbetween the file name as file type"
I believe you found the answer to your question. Why not try removing the . in the filename? It would be faster than asking.

How can I paste the full path name into the find file dialog?

I've copied a full path name using CMD-C.
Now I click on a link in some web page (does not matter which one) which lets me upload a file.
The standard apple file selector dialog pops up (sorry don't know the official apple name for this dialog), to let me navigate and select the file.
How can I paste the file name? Or how can I tell the dialog popup to navigate to the file whose full path name is in the clipboard?

Here is an image showing the file browser dialog I'm referring to.

Finder no longer showing full file name of mp3

How do i get finder to show me the full and complete file name (in my case, artist-title-label) for these mp3s? i can see the full name in the path at the bottom but i want to see it when i search it. My workflow with Ableton and creating text tracklists for music mix sets depends on it. I need the two file names to match rather than the mp3 just showing the info less the artists name.
thank you.

Hey there, I don't know if you knew that already. If you did - Welp I gave it a shot. If you don't want to convert files maybe you should look at metabliss.com to help lighten the load. I would definitely make a copy and try it on PC to see if the same issue occurs.

Is it possible to view ".mp3" files in Mavericks "Tags" windows by file name (rather than the info in the "name" field of it's ID3 tag)?

Short version:
When viewing ".mp3" files in a "Tags" window, the information in the "name" column next to the file defaults to the information in the "song" field in the file's ID3 tag.
Is it possible to change have the "name" column display the actual FILE NAME instead?
I did some research and found nothing.
Long version
Let's say I have a ".mp3" file named "Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me.mp3"
When I open the folder this ".mp3" is in and find the file, the "name" column will read "Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me.mp3" (of course)
Now, I tag the file "jams"
Now I go to my "jams" tag view everything tagged "jams", the "name" column in that window DOES NOT say
"Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me.mp3" , but instead just "Hello It's Me"
The finder seems to be pulling this information from the "name" field of the ".mp3" ID3 tag metadata (aka, the information that would be written in the "name" column when viewing the file in iTunes.)
Ok, that's fine Mavericks, but I want to see the ACTUAL FILE NAME of my ".mp3", (which "tags" windows seems to do for most other things [documents, folders])
Q: Is it possible to display the filename of a ".mp3" file when viewing a "tag window?"
Tags are super useful, but this inconsistency makes it inefficient, distracting, and confusing to move freely between the window for a given "tag", and a normal "finder" window.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I think you have to avoid editing inside the tags list with the 'metadata names'. Instead right click an item, select 'Open enclosing folder'.
In 'real folders' you can enable the 'Title' in column via the 'Veiw Menu > show columns', that way you can see the file name & ID3/ EXIF titles.
'Fake folders' (smart searches & the recent tags list) don't feel finished yet IMO.

Can songs be listed by file name?

I burned the majority of my MP3's 7-10 years ago, and there is no info encoded in most of the files. I have alot of my music just showing up as track # with no other info. I am hoping there is a way to list songs in library by file name. I am concidering buying an Ipod Touch, but if it is not possable to list songs by file name that could be a deal breaker. I have over 3000 songs and with half of em listed as track numbers it would be a nightmare trying to find the song i want.
Thank you in advance for any help you all can provide.

iTunes does not have the ability to display filenames as a list. (It does display the filename for a single file, on the summary tab of Get Info)
In your case, you may wish to use a 3rd party tag editing program such as MP3-Tag to clean up your tags before adding them to iTunes.
