Can't auto-resize columns in List View

In 10.6 one could double-click the divider between columns to automatically have them resize to an optimal width. I can't do that. Is this intended behavior? Note: I'm not using the new "Arrange By..." feature which disables movement entirely.

Wow ! - I humbly apologise.
I have 3 different machines with Lion and so have my colleages.
For all of us the two vertical lines disappeared in Lion.
We can get a vertical stretch icon by hovering the mouse over the divider and double clicking this gives the same result.
We have 10.7.1 - so what gives?

Custom column in List view

Dear guru's,
I'd like to ask you if its possible to add custom column in list view. For example in tc. FBL1N I'd like to add a column with custom text (for example with value "1" for counting the sum of rows). Is it possible to do without creating custom program?
Thank you all.
Regards.
Michael.

Hi Michael,
It's not possible to add some extra text in standard out-put without modifying it or creating custom program.
For adding a column in your list view. I think this write statement will help you
WRITE 'You can overwrite the following line:'.
FORMAT INPUT ON INTENSIFIED OFF.
WRITE 'WRITE HERE'.
FORMAT INPUT OFF INTENSIFIED ON.

[HOWTO] Nautilus and mp3 metadata columns in list view (bitrate etc.)

Hidden deeply in the wikipages, I just added a small howto on adding music metadata columns to nautilus's list view:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gno … te_etc..29
It allows for Album, Artist, Track Title and Bitrate Columns in list view mode. A feature I was missing from Nautilus.

How can I set a default finder list view column size?

Hi,
I am having a bit of an issue here.
I like to use the list view in finder.
I want to set the name column to a certain size globally, so that all folders display the name at the same width.
However, currently I resize the column in the folder I'm working in, change folder and return to the original folder and the size has returned to the defaults.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Hold down the Option key and drag the vertical column right or left as needed.
Close that Finder window then open a new one. See if that worked.
It's working for me in Mountain Lion v10.8.4

Auto resize columns.

How can i get finder to auto resize my columns in columns view?
(I know how to option-click resize them)
best...Jan

to resize the grey bar on the left, all you need to do is move the arrow to the line on the edge of the box, the far right line and the little symbol that allows you to adjust windows appears and then you can adjust it to any size of your preference. as for the auto-sizing columns, i don't even know how to change the size so i wouldn't know how to auto size it...sorry. hope that helps

Format for certain columns in list view control

I have a list view control and I would like to format the alignment for certain columns. I heard that the only way you can do this is by formatting the cells in excel. I tried this with no success. Can someone please give me step by step instructions on how to achieve this. I am currently allowing Xcelsius to handle my formatting for money. Is it possible to have Xcelsius handle the money formatting and have excel handle the alignment formatting. I am open to whatever works at this point. Also I am using Xcelsius 2008 (Build Number 12,2,1,66).
Much Thx

Hi,
In list view control you can format the entire row only, not a certain column.
Go to property>Appearance>Text Tab>select Header>Format selected text->select the format.
For width change: Property> Layout Tab>check custom column width the click the icon and enter width in pixel.

Lookup Column Issue - List View Threshold exceeded

We use Sharepoint Foundation 2010 and we have 2 Lists in a site. Those are:
1. Customers List.
2. Sale Invoices List.
Customers List has Title field as Unique & Indexed Column.
Sale Invoices List has a lookup column (i.e., Customer) from the Customers List (Title).
My issue is:
Customers List has just crossed 5000 items. When I try to add a List Item in Sale Invoices List (where I have Lookup Column from Customers List), it throws an error as given below:
Error Message:- This is a lookup column that displays data from another list that currently exceeds the List View Threshold defined by the
administrator (5000). To add items to the current list, please ask the list owner to remove this column.
I have increased temporarily the List View Threshold Limit to 6000 Items. It’s working fine now.
Is there any solution to fix the issue without increasing the List Items Threshold Limit?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Sri,
If this activity (adding item) is done programmatically, then we can set
SPList.EnableThrottling = false
but this approach is not recommended though.
Please let us know if this fixes your issue.
Thanks,

Display more columns in list view?

Is there any way to display more than the standard columns (filename, dates, size, &c.) in list view in the Finder? If it's possible to search for other attributes (author, EXIF info, &c.) using the find function, why can't this information also be displayed as list view columns?

Additonally, one could send bug reports and enhancement requests to Apple via its Bug Reporter system. Register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. If you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug/ER ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

Modify columns in list view - add annotations

Hello! Does anyone know if we can add new columns to the list view of assets in the production window? My goal is to have a column that shows annotation information in the list view. Possible?
Thanks!

Yes, kind of. You can add (and subtract) columns to a list view by modifying the List (ASSETLISTVIEW) metadata group. You can add Annotations but I'm not sure what you'll see for a value given it is not a unicode value field. It might not be a ver useful field to have in list view.

How can I see my albums in list view on itunes 11.1.5

I used to be able to see and sort my albums in list view. With this latest release all I can find are my album covers. I want to see them in text, and sortable by name, artist, etc as I can with songs. I've checked Show List View for All Media in my preferences. Thanks for any help with this.

I believe the closest you can come is look at your songs in Songs. There you can sort by albums.
The album view does not contain a list view any longer.

How can I get two column selection list in my html form

I required to have two column selection list in my jsp page to show name and description of a product. How can i achieve this functionality or is there any other alternative to do so.

If i understand correctly: you can't actually create two columns in a list because it can only hold one value. The only way to achieve what you want is by concatenating the two values you want to display and put this as the value of the listbox.

Finder problem-can't sort some folders in list view

Hi,
I have a problem with some of my folders in Finder. I prefer to use 'list' view when working in Finder. However, in some of my folders the item bar is greyed out and I can't click the bar to sort. From the image below, the left image is the folder in question; the right is the normal view that I like to work in where I can click on the bar to sort items.
I'm not sure why this is happening, so could somebody shed some light on this please.
Thanks.

I had the same question. Credit goes to http://superuser.com/questions/339525/os-x-lion-new-finder-view-that-doesnt-allo w-sorting for the answer.
If you have a window that is in this state, first click the title bar to make sure it's the "active" window, then go to the "View" menu, then click "Sort by..." : None.
Make sure "None" is active, then you can sort just like it's 1984-2010.

Can't select file names in list view

System: Mac Pro 2.93 Quad-Core, 6GB RAM, 10.6.2
I updated from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2 using software update AND from 10.6 to 10.6.2 doing a clean install. Both times I had problems with the finder: first, the icons in the sidebar turned into "page" icons (a white rectangle similar to the Documents icon, but one sheet instead of "two"), then I couldn't select the file names (to change the name of a file) in list view. Strangely I could do so in icon view or using Get Info. I trashed the com.apple.finder.plist file, and now every window has it's own set of values (different icon sizes and sorting prefs.) and I can't seem to make all windows default to a set of view/sort values (every time I open a window they change even after I selected "use values as defaults").
I'm stumped any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if the finder is "acting-up," does that mean that copying files, doing backups and the like, are all compromised? (This would be really upsetting).
Thanks

Have a bootable backup/clone of your previous 10.6.1 installation or a TM backup?

How to Hide Size Column in List View

My default setting for the Finder is to have folders display in list view with the size column turned off. This works like a charm for every folder except the Applications folder which always displays a size column whenever the finder is re-launched (it's always scrolled to the bottom of the list too, which is weird). It wouldn't bother me if the size values were cached somehow and just updated quietly in the background but it takes quite a while to calculate each value and actually slows down the finder.
I've tried deleting finder preferences but to no avail.
Does anyone know what's going on here?
[The above was originally posted here [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9524102#9524102] but I was asked to move along by a surly faced police officer]

OK. Problem fixed but unfortunately not completely solved.
Talking about permissions and administrator issues made me wonder, so I logged in using my admin account and seemed to be having exactly the same issue. I was unable to set a default permamantly for the Applications folder. Except that when I tried to set a default in another folder (Documents I think) and restarted the Finder the setting held for all directories. When I logged back in under my regular user account it also held.
I have finally eliminated that pesky size column -- for good! (Of course I may want it occasionally, but that's at my discretion). The window also maintains a correct scroll point, corresponding to where it was last positioned.
I wish I knew exactly what has happened. All I really know is that fiddling (as usual) has fixed it and that it probably has something to do with Administrator privileges.
Thanks again for your suggestions and especially for being a sounding board.
Josh
