Cannot resize columns in Coverflow in Finder

my mid 2009 MBP using ML will not let me resize columns in Finder when in coverflow view as i can when in list view. this is sort hard to manage and i'd like to fix it.
any ideas?
TIA

hi sb.
i may be mistaken here. i am trying to start working in ML on the laptop after getting things organized and maybe i am not understanding something.
does finder in ML open to some kind of "global" Finder Window that sometimes shows all files or is somehow different than the second finder window?
or - - er (testing here), i guess when you /first/ open Finder you see this bar that won't resize but if you actively then select something in the pane on the left or if you open a /second/ Finder window i don't see this image that doesn't have the ability to resize the columns...?
THANKS

Lion Finder "Find" command window, cannot resize columns

If I use the Finder's "Find.." command under the File menu, a window appears that allows me to enter my serach criteria.
However when I do so and a list of entries is presented, there appears to be no way to resize the columns!
Als, unlike a normal Finder window, it does not present you with column headings that you can sort on (yes, you can still access this level of control by going to "Show View Options".
Try it. I know that a normal Finder window allows you to do this, but not a "Find" window.
I have no idea why they use a different design style for the "Find" results window. The standard Finder list view window at least has the proper controls on it (ability to resize, ability to slect which column to sort upon, ability to slect sort order up or down, etc.)
Any ideas as to how to fix these problems?

David.
You'll need to select View>Arrange By>None to get the ability to adjust columne width.
You can also get at it by clicking the little gear icon in the tool bar.

Cannot resize column or reorder in library

Using version 4.9 of iTunes. I cannot seem to resize the first column in the Library or my iPod Library. For example, when I open my iPod library the first column on the left is the track name. I can't resize it. I have tried selecting Auto size columns, it has no effect on the first column.
Anyone have any clues or seen this before?

Hi Kingfish, welcome to discussions.
Can you resize the other columns?.
P.S
I learned from you about the autosize columns. Cool.

Cannot resize some columns in the music folder for my ipod

It seems I cannot resize some of the columns I'm displaying in the music folder for my iPod... such as:
Album, Grouping, Kind
But I can resize the other columns...
I've tried moving the column around, doesn't seem to help
I can resize all columns in my Music folder for the PC.
Any ideas?!?

ok...
If I remove the column from my view... and then re-add the column, it all works fine.
Is this a bug?

User cannot resize jTables� columns

Hello,
Using NetBeans IDE 3.5.1, I built a jTable, controlled by a
JScrollpane.
My problem is that the user cannot resize the jTables� columns.
Maximum details:
1.     jtablewidth is set to a fixed value according to internal data:
JTable1.setPreferredSize( new Dimension(tableWidth, i_TableHeight));
2.     columnwidth is set according to internal data:
Col = JTable1.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
Col.setWidth(width);
Col.setResizable(true);
Col.setMinWidth(width);
3.     jTable header details:
JTableHeader anHeader = JTable1.getTableHeader();
anHeader.setReorderingAllowed(false);
anHeader.setResizingAllowed(true);
4.     JTable1.getTableHeader().setResizingAllowed(true);.
5.     Initial declerations:
a.     JTable1.setAutoResizeMode(javax.swing.JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
     JTable1.setColumnSelectionAllowed(true);
     JTable1.setDragEnabled(true);
     JTable1.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(new
java.awt.Dimension(650, 500));
     JTable1.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(1200, 409));
     JTable1.setRequestFocusEnabled(false);
b.     JScrollPane1.setMaximumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(750, 412));
     JScrollPane1.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(750,
412));
     JScrollPane1.setViewportView(JTable1);
     JScrollPane1.setAutoScolls(false);
c.     Jtable.autoCreateColumnsFromModel (true);
Thanks alot,
Itay

Columns resizing works by default. You don't need to do anything special.
If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its original formatting.

Can't resize columns in new iTunes store

Well .. the new iTunes9 store is just horrendous, and a step back from the previous version. i'd beg for the previous version but it's never gonna happen.
one of the most simple and yet horrendously awful things is the apparant inabilityto resize columns when browsing an arists. if the name of a track is wider than the column ... how do you see it? there is now way to scroll across and see the complete name of the track/remix.
anyone know a work around for this. anyone from Apple care to comment on such an obvious design flaw?

I'll echo this. Look up Classical Music, anything there is nigh impossible to find. Telling me that a song is "symphony no. 9 movem...." is useless. I don't care, I know that. What I want to see is the movement. But I can't. Or how about dance remixes? I know the name of the song, I'd like to be able to see the actual remix name.
On top of that, you can't even choose what you want to view by. If I am searching for all the U2 songs, I don't need to see that the artist is U2. I'd much rather use that space for more productive things.
I simply cannot understand who at Apple thought this was a "better" user interface. Sacrificing user operability for a "spiffy" new makeover is not what I would expect from Apple.

Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view

When my Finder windows open in column view, all the columns are always VERY wide. I have to then spend time resizing them to a managable width. Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view?
<Re-Titled By Host>

No, because you can't set a columns view default.

Can't resize column to fit text

Can't resize column to fit text in numbers. option is "grayed-out" no matter what I do

It is either a glitch or a rather unfun new thing. No one knows for sure. You do have a bit more control if you go into your photos app, find your photo and tap on the little box with the arrow poking out of it. That allows you to send it to be wallpaper. You can do some scaling, although not as much as you used to.
Finding work arounds is about all you can do until it's fixed.

Resize column width for JTable without column headers?

Hi,
I find that for me to resize columns of a JTable by using
mouse dragging, I MUST have column headers and then drag
column headers to resize them. Is my understanding correct?
Actually, I need to have a table without header columns.
How can I use mouse to resize column width by dragging?
The background for this request is that I am putting a
complex table as another table's column header and I hope to
be able to resizing the complex table by mouse dragging.
Thanks very much,
David

Hi,
I think you have mistake there. Try
<style type="text/css">
table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td {
white-space:nowrap !important;
td[headers="DESCR"] {
width:300px !important;
max-width:300px !important;
#apexir_DESCR {
width:10px;
max-width:300px !important;
</style>And you can try add
table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA {
width: 100% !important;
table-layout: fixed !important;
}Regards,
Jari

Cannot resize images after CS5 and CC updates

I recently installed Photoshop CC and the CC app recently updated both my own CS6 and CC. I find that I now cannot resize images using the "image size" dialog. Any changes I try to make in dimension or resolution are ignored. Has anyone else encountered this problem, or does anyone have any info which will help me discover what I am doing wrong? Before, I simply entered the resolution and size I wanted for the image. Now I cannot .I have tried suggestion here: e.g., deleting pixels when cropping, etc., but nothing seems to work for me.

Thank you, Mylenium. Just curious... the CS5 update was done before I had
the CC app. Some CS6 updates were done before I joined the CC (the CS5 in
my problem subject-line was a type--should have been CS6), and one through
the cloud. CC, of course, was all updated through the cloud. Am I to
understand that CC would have done something to my owned, personal version
of CS5, which has the same problem?
Not an auspicious beginning with the cloud if complete
uninstalls/reinstalls are necessary right off the bat. I wonder how often
this type of problem will occur using the cloud, which obviously now
monitors my personal version of CS6, as well.

Resizing columns in iTunes store

Ok so they new look is bland, boring, and uncreative. But, I don't have a choice. Feels like I walked into a walmart store. But, whatever.
How do you resize columns in the iTunes store? I cant read the song names because apple has no resizing feature. And it's very annoying.
Thanks,
Nick

I completely agree - this is annoying! I found another topic in this forum about this where it was suggested that Apple be contacted via their feedback form at http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html. I've just done this and suggest that anyone else who finds this annoying do the same! Hopefully, if more people report it, it will be fixed in the next update.
Another topic I came across suggested using the Browse feature (by going to the Home page, then clicking "Browse" in the top right quick links). This will return results in a list similar to the previous version, which had resizable columns. The only trouble is, you can't search this way, only browse, so it still doesn't assist in making locating tracks more efficient :S

Broken: Copy & Resizable Columns

In iTunes store I used to be able to copy track information by selecting a track and typing cmd-C. This was useful for a number of reasons, the two most used by me were correcting ripped CD information quickly -- particularly with classical tracks where the titles and track names have no real quality control -- to make it match the iTunes database (that makes getting cover information much easier); and sending information to people (including Apple support) in emails.
Now I can't do that. This would be a minor inconvenience were it not for the disappearance of resizable columns. Before, a work around would be to open the CD information in a separate window, rearrange my windows so that I can see everything, and simply eyeball everything (I can touch type so while that's a hassle, it wasn't impossible).
Unfortunately, that doesn't work now either. The columns are fixed in width meaning many classical tracks have long titles that start with the same text (like Symphony No. 3 "Poem of Ecstasy" or "Concerto for Two Violins and Orchestra") that runs over into the non-visible part of the column. The only way to read the entirety of what's there is to hover the mouse over the visible text. This is impossible to do while typing in another window because it only works while the store window is active.
Thanks, Apple. You've opted for style over substance again, only this time it doesn't work.

Byron,
I think I have a better answer for you.
When you are on the Home screen of the iTunes Store click the Browse in the QuickLinks on the upper right of the screen.
You will then be switched into the conventional iTunes bowser where I think you'll find you can copy and paste track information as you have in the past.
Give it a try.

How to resize column width in report?

hi all,
i read somewhere here that in order to resize column width in a report, you need to go to report attributes, then edit the column you wish to resize and then go to the CSS Style and place something like "width=600px". while this works very well in Internet Explorer, it somehow has no effect in Firefox 3.0. is there a way to make it work both browsers?
thanks
allen

Hi,
Sorry, I misunderstood. There are several methods you could use:
1 - Use the span tags around the data itself - this would require adding the tags into the sql statement itself
2 - Use javascript to set the column widths by adding a style to the TD tags for each cell
3 - Create a new Report Template and use COL tags immediately after the TABLE tag in the Before Rows section to specify the widths of all columns
Option 3 may be the easiest?
