Can I add file size to spotlight window?

Currently the only file information that displays is name, kind and last opened. I'd like to get the file size to display as well to help me ID which version of files I want. For that matter can I add other parameters to the sortable bar at the top of the file list (even if they're not searchable parameters).
Thanks

We get three and only three choices. Can't even have date created or modified, which are searchable criteria, we are stuck with Last Opened (who in the world is ever looking for that anyway????). If you think this is absurd, be sure to let Apple know:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html/
Tell all your friends and relatives to do the same. Enough people complained about the downgraded powers of Stacks so that Apple brought back the Tiger functionality that had been eliminated. Perhaps if enough people complain about the crippled Spotlight GUI we will see some of its former functionality returned.

Search by file size in Spotlight

I want to find all of the "Large" files on my drive to do some house cleaning. Is there a way in Spotlight to search for files larger than a certain size? I do not seem to be able to delete files from the spotlight window. I search for a file name and find I have duplicates of the file and would like to delete the some of the duplicates but can not delete them.
Paul

The important thing, if you want to be able to move files to the Trash from the results, is to do a Find (Cmd-F) in Finder.
Just set the criteria to Size-GreaterThan-
It may help also to put the results window into List View (Cmd-2) so that you can see the Size column.

Tfs - user can't add files

hi!
i have the following problem:
my team consists of two members with (seemingly) equal project permissions.
however, only one of the two can add new files to the project. (compare folders, "add file" is greyed out for user a but works for user b)
i compared the security settings for both users in the tfs admin console, but couldn't find any difference.
where is the switch i'm looking for?
any help would be appreciated.
thanks!

Hi Haklinz,
Thanks for your post.
What’s the version of your TFS and VS?
Do you mean that if user a compare the same two folders(which user b compared) in VS Source Control Explore, the
Add Files button is greyed for user a in Folder Difference
window, but if user b compare the same two folders, he can click the Add Files button inFolder Difference
window?
I tested this scenario on my client and found that: the Add Files button only available in
Folder Difference window, when user selected the local item(folder/file) which not stored in TFS Source Control in
Folder Difference window, please ensure the user a selected the right local item in
Folder Difference window.

Can't add files or file aliases to the dock

I can't add files or file aliases to the dock. All the help viewer says about this is this issue?

Hi Wagnerian, Welcome to Apple Discusswions.
When adding files or folders to the Dock, they must go to the right side of the hairline (the same side that Trash is on).
If this what you are doing and it still doesn't work navigate to /Users/YourHome/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and delete that file. then log out and back in or restart. (You'll have to reset your Dock the way you like it)

In the metadata settings i can find the file size in pix. is it possible to see the size in inches?

in the metadata settings i can find the file size in pix. is it possible to see the size in inches?

Yes, that is one way to do it. But you can also do it by doing some simple math. For instance, let's say the you have an image that is 4000 x 6000 pixels. It doesn't matter whether resolution setting is in the file. The image is still 4000 x 6000 pixels. But you can decide what resolution you are going to export your copy. And you would do that for its intended purpose. If you are going for a high quality print then you would probably want 300 PPI in your export settings. With the example I've given the size print you can get had 300 PPI would be as follows:
4000 (pixels) / 300 (PPI) = 13.333 Inches
6000 (pixels) / 300 (PPI) = 20 inches
So if you were really precise in needing a 300 PPI print you can get one that is 13 x 20".
If you are preparing for display on the screen, the higher resolution isn't needed. Using the same math:
4000 / 72 = 55.55 inches
6000 / 72 = 83.33 inches
By doing some simple math in your head you can determine the resolution that you need and the size that you need and set up your export accordingly.
Technically speaking a digital image doesn't have a size other than pixel dimensions. Everything else has to be determined by the resolution that you need for the intended purpose of the final image.

I have a .mov file that is 59 gigs. Is there a converter that can reduce the file size with minor resolution loss so I can import it into final cut express?

I have a .mov file that is 59 gigs. Is there a converter that can reduce the file size with minor resolution loss so I can import it into final cut express?

Open the file in QuickTime Player. Then do Tools > Show Movie Inspector. What does it say for Format and FPS?
At 59GB, I suspect you have either a 4 hour DV video or a 1+ hour video that was converted to Apple Intermediate Codec. If it's either of those, you can import it directly into FCE provided you select the appropriate Easy Setup first. Your clips have to match the properties of the Easy Setup you are using.
If it's neither DV or AIC then you need to convert it to one of those codecs. (QuickTime/DV or QuickTime/AIC) Many people in this forum rely on MPEG Streamclip (it's free and works great).

How can I display file size in Finder

Hi folks,
I am trying to figure out where 40GB of data is hiding. I would like to see file sizes in the Finder window associated with my folders in Mountain Lion 10.8.2.. I'm having, what seems to me, a strange problem. When I 'Get Info' on my Hard Drive, the disc space left is only 40GB out of 120GB (ie used being 80GB). My confusion is that when I painstakingly go through the files, I can only account for 48 GB with 'Get Info' on each folder. This is a rather combersome process and I am hoping there is a work around for viewing the file sizes within Finder and not having to open 'Get Info' on each and every folder like I have been.
I have a MacAir 13 inch 2011
Thanks!

Thanks for your time and suggestions, dominic23.
I looked through both links and sadly, none of these suggestions have worked. I have tried many on my own since posting trying to figure out why the volume is being doubled on my hard drive. I've deleted log files, and done a sweep with Onyx to no avail. Strangely, the option of seeing the volumes under 'About this Mac' and 'System' does not have a listing for storage. Weird. I am the only user/administrator on this computer and I don't have shared files.
I'm just stumped.

Sending a file as an attachment to an email involves setting the correct MIME type and headers. There's a brief tutorial here: http://webcheatsheet.com/php/send_email_text_html_attachment.php.
Also, you need to use the same name as in your form. In the script you have shown here, the name of the file field is strresume, but your processing script uses this: $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']. It should be this: $_FILES['strresume']['name']

Can't drag files into the queue window on some computers

For some reason, on my new desktop and my laptop. I cannot drag files into the Queue window in Media encoder. I have tried dragging avi's, wav, and mp4. As the files I am dragging hover over the queue window, my mouse turns into the "circle with a line through it" pointer and I cannot add the files that way. I can click the plus sign and then browse to its location to add. I just want to have my drag n drop feature working again... Any ideas why i can on some computers and not others?
I did try running media encoder as administrator. All my computers are running windows 8.1.

do you have source patching turned on for audio?

How can i "add file to library" and have it be considered to be a Podcast?

I went to a web site and downloaded a file to my C drive (MP3 format) that is not music. It is spoken, and is what i would call a 'Podcast', although i did not access it via iTunes as an official podcast. I then use iTunes "add file to library" function. But, it considers it to be music. I thought maybe drag/drop would work to let me add it to Podcasts, but it does not.
How can i get this file which i have imported into iTunes to be treated as a Podcast? First, i'd like it to appear on my iPod with 'Podcasts'. But, more importantly, if i stop listening in the middle, i'd like it to restart from that point the next time i start it again. Now, it is treated by the iPod like music, and so it starts at the beginning each time.
Thanks for your help! Tom.
Windows XP

Is there a way that you can "subscribe" to something that is not in iTunes store? This is just a file on a site that is available for download.
If not -- does anybody else know if there is a way to do what the original question posed, to have a file that you downloaded, treated as a Podcast instead of as music?
Thanks, tom.

Can't add files to two different phones

I have created a ringtone for my iphone 4s and loaded just fine. I tried to add the ringtone to my fiances phone and I get the red circle with the line through it so I can't add anything to her phone. No photos, music etc. I tried signing out of Itunes and into her account but still nothing. Computer is authorized. Ringtone is in the Tones folder in ITunes but just can't drag and drop in hers but can in my Iphone 4s. Any suggestions?

I think your method is wrong. You should not change the m4a file to m4r file in it's original location which is for music library.
Refer proper steps here for creating ringtones:
Before you start, first go to iTunes top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.
Right click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info”
Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” & Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK
Right mouse click the music again and choose “Create AAC Version”
You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a.
Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop
Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file).
*Important - Now uncheck the start & stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length.
Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library
Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
Once you have the ringtones in Tones library, you may sync it to your device. Connect and select your iPhone on iTunes left Pane, then on right go to Tones tab and make sure SYNC Tones is checked and click the APPLY or SYNC button on the lower right window.

Can't add Files to AME CC anymore.

It worked fine - i didn't update or anything. Just stopped being able to add Files to AME. Drag and drop not working / Files appear greyed out in Dialouge.
What could be wrong?
OSX 10.8.5

This sounded first a bit like : "have you tried turn it on?" But you made me check anyway - and i found the problem: My layout suddenly changed - instead of "Queue" i had "Watch folders" as my main window. Now, you can't import single files into that of course.. not by double clicking, not by clicking the +, and definitely not by drag and dropping
