Cannot see most recent files when attaching

I've had this problem for a while. Currently using OS X Mavericks, 10.9.4 (latest version) and Mail 7.3 (also latest build). Saved a file to Documents, then opened Mail and attempted to attach it. Finder window opens, but my most recent files viewed are "last 7 days," with "today" being completely missing. I can open the Finder independently, the files show, I can open the files, send the file as an attachment from the Finder itself. But for quite some time, I don't see my most recent files (like today's files) in Finder when first opening Mail and attempting to attach something from a new message or message reply. Very frustrating.
Anyone know what's going on here? I've experienced this before, but this is the first I realized that it seems as if it only happens when I am searching for a file to attach, and not when I open the Finder directly. I know there are workarounds, but I would just like to be able to do this simple thing, and for the life of me, I cannot do it. Not sure how long this has been going on, but I think it was happening in Mavericks all along, I just didn't connect the dots.
Thanks.

I can't duplicate the issue. What type of file is it? Is it saved locally, in the cloud, external drive?

When I sort by date added in Column View in Finder, how can I make the most recent files appear at the top of the list?(Mavericks)

In 10.8, when I sorted Finder by date added or date created in column view, the most recent files would appear at the top of the list. Currently, this happens as it should in every single view mode EXCEPT column view (which is pretty much the only view I ever use). Currently, I have a folder with over 2000 files in it that date back to 2011, so now I have to scroll for like ten minutes just te get to files that were most recently added. Who in their right mind would want to sort by last modified with the oldest result listed FIRST? Ridiculous. I can't figure this out. Any help?

Thanks for the reply leroydouglas! Unfurtunately this doesn't cause the column to be ordered correctly either. After selecting this option, the files seem to be ordered by label, and the most recently added file is somewhere in the middle of the list. I'd like it to be at the top, and have other files/folders descend in retrochronological order by their add date.
Any other input from the community would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just confirming that this is/is not expected behavior. I'd be super bummed to find out that this IS expected behavior, as it's really counterintuitive and extremely inconvenient.
Thanks again!

Email Most Recent File From Directory

I am using C# to open a Spreadsheet, change 3 things in the spreadsheet, then save the spreadsheet in a directory, then open the directory. I was trying to use FileSystemWatcher to capture the most recent file in the directory, but it seems that the
Watch() event is being triggered before my syntax is able to make the changes and save.
Is their a better method for this or do I just need to add in a Thread.Sleep() event so that the Watch() event triggers after the save is complete?

Hi Indigo,
>>I was trying to use FileSystemWatcher to capture the most recent file in the directory,
but it seems that the Watch() event is being triggered before my syntax is able to make the changes and save.
I have tested your code on my side, I supposed that you can add one button, when you
change and save xls file successfully, try to trigger Watch() event by manual.
I changed a little code with yours.
Watch for changes in LastAccess and LastWrite times, and the renaming of files or directories.
Add all event handlers.
Use messageBox to show something instead
Here is my test reslut:
Do I miss something? If so, please feel free to post here.
public partial class Form1 : Form
public Form1()
InitializeComponent();
filewatcher();
private void filewatcher()
using (Process pRun = new Process())
pRun.StartInfo.FileName = "D:\\Test\\test.xlsx";
pRun.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
pRun.Start();
string openPath = "D:\\Test\\";
Process pRC = new Process();
pRC.StartInfo.FileName = openPath;
pRC.Start();
private void Watch()
FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher();
watcher.Path = "D:\\Test";
watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastAccess | NotifyFilters.LastWrite
| NotifyFilters.FileName | NotifyFilters.DirectoryName;
watcher.Filter = "*.xlsx";
// Add event handlers.
watcher.Changed += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
watcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
watcher.Deleted += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
private void OnChanged(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
WatcherChangeTypes changeTypes = e.ChangeType;
String filename = e.Name.ToString();
MessageBox.Show("Hello");
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
Watch();
MessageBox.Show("DOne");
//private void sendMail(string filename)
// using (MailMessage mail = new MailMessage())
// mail.From = new MailAddress("");
// mail.To.Add("");
// string fileDirectory = path;
// string fileFullPath = Path.Combine(filesDirectory, filename);
// if (!File.Exists(fileFullPath))
// return;
// using (var xlsx1 = new Attachment(fileFullPath))
// mail.Subject = "Test";
// mail.Attachments.Add(xlsx1);
// SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("SMTP.MAIL.COM");
// client.Send(mail);

What is happening in the most recent keynote when I click on a slide and it pulses (larger-smaller) Two of my slides have disappeared in the navigator although if I play through them they are there.

What is happening in the most recent keynote when I click on a slide and it pulses (larger-smaller) Two of my slides have disappeared in the navigator although if I play through them they are there and the slides have their orignal number--there are just white spaces where the slide should be and I can only get to the slide by clicking through from the prior slide. How do I get the sldies back into the navigator so I can see them. Oddly, they are show up just find on the light table.

Try removing any transitions or builds on these slides, or delete the slides then recreate them as fresh slides.
There are many playback anomalies in Keynote 6 which Apple have said they will be sorting out next year.

Let Photoshop automatically load the most recent file

I have in the task bar icons for the PostScript editor PSAlter and for Photoshop.
The workflow is always: Edit in PSAlter and interpret in Photoshop.
Clicking in the task bar on the Photoshop icon should open Photoshop, load
the most recent file (which is meanwhile modified), confirm last settings by OK
and start the execution.
Is it possible to automate this sequence – by just one click on the icon?
Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

I doubt that would work out well.
One could possibly link a Script to Photoshop being "brought to the foreground" with Script Events Manager but that might not always be the intended process when switching to Photoshop.
How exactly is the "most recent file" identifiable?
Do you change the settings often or could they stay fixed?
Maybe you should also ask over at

Not Showing Most Recent Files

I've got a strange one. I've been able to network my imac to a dell laptop and they can see each other's shared directories. Tried to access an Excel file from the laptop and it didn't show the most recent file, but one that was nearly three weeks old. Is the imac caching the files anywhere? I didn't see any windows settings. Still getting used to the Mac world and didn't see any ability to refresh. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Any pattern? Are they the most recently created or modified? Anything in common about how they are named, or in the +dot plus three+ extensions? Are you still seeing the older version of files on the Mac compared to directly in Windows.
I've not used Windows 7 so I'm not familiar with any sharing filters that are possible. If you are still seeing older versions of files, and the ones you don't see on the Mac happen to be the most recently added to the folder, it still feels to me like you are actually connecting to a different sharepoint than what you believe... maybe one that is in an backup archive or something.
Sorry I can't be any more helpful. It's a bit mysterious.

I never had this problem before but all of a sudden when I go to "edit" a photo the photo turns black. All the editing functions appear but I cannot see any picture. When I hit "done" the photo reappears. Why can I no longer see my photo for editing pu

For years I have had no problems editing photos. However, for some reason when I go to "edit" my photo the photo turns BLACK/BLANK. The editing functions appear but I cannot see the photo. When I select "done" the photo reappears. Why is the photo disappearing for editing? Have I hit a command accidentally that is causing this? Really appreciate someone's assistance.

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #1, Repair Permissions, followed by Option #4, Rebuild Database, if needed.

Cannot print a pdf file when the pdf file is opened in another window

Running FF8.0 I cannot print a pdf file when the file is contained in a separate window opened by the appl (not just another tab). Options -> options -> applications all point to Use Adobe Applications in Firefox. I've had this problem in 7.0, 6.0, etc but I believe I was finally able to print these external browser/adobe windows somehow. Printing a pdf file shouldn't be that tough. When I run into this situation, file can be printed from the external window by IE.

Check the document properties (Security) for this file in Adobe Reader; perhaps printing is not allowed?

Cannot see the output file in my first project

Hi,
I follow the instructions of Exercise in Chapter 4 of CAP-0501 to make the project. I wonder why I cannot see the output file in 'C:\CAPExercises\0501\exercises\Active_Project\Output'.
There are two things I would like you know.
1. I do not have the file 'prjFileXferInput.xml', but find and copy a xml file. Is this a problem? Does CAPS have any special requirement on schema for the input file?
2. Is '\' and '/' a problem for Java CAPS? I notice the book using 'C:/CAPExercises/0501/exercises/Active_Project/Output�, while it is 'C:\CAPExercises\0501\exercises\Active_Project\Output' on windows. I am working on a standalone Windows 2000 computer.
By the way, can anyone give me a confirmation that '/' and '\' is not a problem for Java CAPS, as the server or application take care of it? Is it true?
Thanks,

I am answering my own question. The project works.

Finding most recent file in a directory

Hi,
Is there a simple and easy way in labview to write a program that goes
into a directory and looks for the most recent file. I can think of one
way where I use the list directory vi to obtain an array of the file
names in the directory and then use the file/directory info vi to
obtain a time stamp for each file in the directory and afterwards sort
all the time stamps. I'm not sure if this is the simplest way to do
this, and wanted to ask if anyone on the discussion forums knows of any.
Thank you

This example is not that great and a few tweaks can greatly improve it!
Building the path with string operations inside the loop automatically breaks this VI on anything but windows. There is a reason we have the "build path" function! It should always be used. The "string to path" and "path to string" should only be used for OS specific tasks.
You probably want to skip files that are actually links. Newer versions of "File/Directory info" tell you if the path points to a link instead of a file with a boolean output.
WIy do we need to keep an array of all files and maintain the corret index in a shift register. It seems more intuitive and less wasteful to just keep the newest file path in the shift register and not worry about the index.
The image below shows a quick attempt at improving the example. Modify as needed.

Until the most recent update when the autocomplete location bar was selected, it "went" with no further clicking. Now I have to click the refresh arrow. It won't even work with the return. How can I make it work the old easier way?

cor-el, thank you so much. That fixed it, but does this mean I can't use AVG Safe Search.Is there a substitute? I do like the security (hopefully real) that it offers. What now? How do I get out of Safe Mode?

Email not seeing files when attaching them in iOSX Mavericks

Hi,
I've updated to iOSX Mavericks on my macbook pro and am having difficulty in my email seeing my files when I try to attach them. It just comes up with the main file menu and when I click on "documents" (for example) there are no files there.
It's only like this for the first few attempts and after a few goes it seems to display my files properly but happens every time and is quite time consuming and frustrating.
Anyone else have the same problem?
Help!
Thanks,
Suzzie

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Mail doesn't see newly created document when attaching files

If I save a file, and attempt to use Mail to attach it, Mail does not see in in the browse window. If I quit Mail and then re-open it, it then does see the files to attach.
Has anyone seen this before? Thank you very much for any help regarding this.
