Closing all folders and subfolders within a window with one command

In list view, is there a way to close all folders and subfolders within a window with one command, instead of having to close each individually?
Thanks!

Thanks, all, for your feedback, but no cigar, yet:
- opening folders with "option" is possible but problematic
- none of this solves the question of closing all the folders and subfolders within a window in one shot.
Any better solution would be appreciated.
Thanks!

List all folders, and subfolders, in a directory

I'm trying to find a way to list all folders, and subfolders, in a directory. I ran the code below and got a message that says 'Access is Denied'. There is no way access is denied to that folder. How can I list all folders, and subfolders, in
a directory?
--'C:\Users\Ryan\Desktop\Coding\';
set nocount on
declare @curdir nvarchar(400)
declare @line varchar(400)
declare @command varchar(400)
declare @counter int
If (select count (*) from sys.objects where name='Output') <> 0 DROP TABLE output
If (select count (*) from tempdb.sys.objects where name like '%#Tempoutput%') <> 0 DROP TABLE #Tempoutput
If (select count (*) from tempdb.sys.objects where name like '%#dirs%') <> 0 DROP TABLE #dirs
create table #dirs (DIRID int identity(1,1), directory varchar(400))
Set @command = 'dir "C:\Users\Ryan\Desktop\Coding\Microsoft Access\" /S/O/B/A:D'
insert into #dirs exec xp_cmdshell @command
set @counter = (select count(*) from #dirs)
create table #tempoutput (line varchar(400))
create table output (Directory varchar(400), FileSize varchar(400))

           from #tempoutput where line like '%File(s)%bytes'
           Set @filesize = Replace(@line, ' bytes', '')
        Insert into output (directory, Filesize) values (@curdir, @filesize)

Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Can you tell us how you're executing this code? Is it called from sql agent job or are you executing it by calling code directly?
Did you try creating a proxy for xp_cmdshell and then executing it?

Does bridge search all folders and subfolders by default?

Many documents and folders are not being found with Bridge's search feature. What do I need to do to have Bridge A) find files in specific folders and B) search newly added folders? Does bridge search every folder on my computer by default or just specific ones? If the latter, how do I let bridge know which folders it should add to its searches? THanks.

Bridge starts the search where you tell it and then moves down the dirctory tree. So if
your folder is above the start point it will not be searched.

Closing open mail windows with one command

I get tons of email. Often I fail to close each one before opening another. Result? A dozen or more open emails. Is there a simple way to close them all at once?
thanks,
Tim

In many applications, holding the Option key causes the File > Close Window command to change to Close All Windows, but for some reason Mail doesn't do it.
What does work in Mail is holding down the Option key while clicking the red close button at the top left of any window. Problem is... it will actually close all windows...
Just type ⌘1 (Command-1) afterwards to open the Message Viewer window again. This is actually the command shortcut for selecting the Inbox mailbox (Mailbox > Go To > In), but it also opens the Message Viewer window if there are no message windows open -- yes, interestingly enough, ⌘1 doesn't work and beeps at you when the frontmost window is a message window, regardless of whether the Message Viewer window is open or not...
...and, yet more interesting, ⌘1 works again if you open Preferences in front of the message window that caused that command to beep before, but only if the Message Viewer is closed. On the other hand, if the Message Viewer is open, then typing ⌘1 does nothing when Preferences is the frontmost window, it does not even beep, although the menu title does blink as if Mail had actually executed the command (but it hasn't)...
...and don't worry if the last paragraph above just doesn't make sense to you, it can safely be ignored...

Mail folders And subfolders

I made An mail account with which synchronize with exchange. In outlook i have made within each archive folder I have many subfolders. On my iPad it shows All folders And subfolders totally.
How can I fold in the folders and subfolders?
Thanks already

AFAIK, you can't collapse email folders in the iPhone's Mail app.

Copy only files from folders and subfolders

I need a help.
I have issue with too long destination part, so I want to use some script or command, to copy all files (just files) from all folders and subfolders to one destination (one specified folder).
I don't need folders and subfolders, just files.
I have this issue on Windows 7 Professional.
Best regards

Try this batch file. It will overwrite files with duplicated names.
@echo off
set Source=d:\My Documents
set Dest=d:\My New Folder
xcopy /y "%Source%" "%Dest%\"
for /F "delims=" %%a in ('dir /ad /b /s "%Source%"') do xcopy /y "%%a\*.*" "%Dest%"

How can I transfer/copy my entire iPhoto library from one iMac to another iMac whilst keeping all the folders and subfolders intact?

We recently purchased a new iMac for our office (8 GB memory, 2.7 processor, version 10.9.2) and we need to copy the iPhoto library from our other iMac (version 10.9.4) onto the new one. The photos are essential for our work and there are around 53,000 of them all organised into folders and subfolders and then the photos are manually ordered within the albums.
We have tried connecting the computers but when we tried to access the iPhoto library on the new iMac it says that iPhoto is locked and we do not have permission to view it. We updated iPhoto on the old iMac as we thought that might be the problem but the message still appears. We've been advised to use an external hard drive but we're worried that will corrupt the organisation of the library. We have also been told not to do it over AirDrop / the Server because of the sheer quantity of photos.
Any advice on how to safely do this would be much appreciated.

No idea exactly what you did
if you followed the instructions
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
then you have exactly the same thin on your new system that you had on the old
If you do something differently - like import the library instead of simply opening it - then it will not work
did you dimply drag the iPhoto library from the pictures folder of the old machine to the pictures folder of the new machine and then launch iPhoto on the new machine?
and to help it is important to use word correctly since that is the only communications method we have - in iPhoto folders do not contain photos - you view photos in events and you can organize them using albums (which view photos) and folders (which hold either albums or other folders - folders never have photos in them) so your description of the problem is not at all clear since it uses folders incorretly

Sometimes I just want to close ONLY one window, but Firefox is closing ALL TABS, and I don't want this!

I sometimes will open several windows, especially from my Comcast mailbox. When I am through with that window, I will close it, but leave the other ones open. FIrefox won't do this any more, When I close 1 window, Firefox send me a message stating that it is CLOSING ALL TABS. I DONT WANT TO CLOSE all of them, I just want to close the window I am closing!. This is very annoying, because I have to re-log back into everything, because FIrefox is "CLOSING ALL TABS", and all I want to to close ONE window...I am about ready to chuck this browser....I tried to find an answer to this in tools, but was unable to do so. Please help me with this

Use CTRL+W - to close the surrent tab.
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

HT204655 Can I create folders and subfolders in the new Photos on my mac?

I've just started using the new Photos app in the latest Yosemite update on my Macbook Pro.
Until recently I was using Aperture to sort all my photos into folders and subfolders - I think they were called "events" or "projects" in Aperture.
In Aperture, I was creating folders like "1993", "1994", "1995" or "Best of My Family".
Then I had subfolders within those folders - things like a "Christmas 1995", and perhaps some subfolders within that like "Christmas 1995 at Home", "Christmas 1995 at Parents" as well as things like a "favorite 1995 pics".
And sometime non-date related folders - things like "Children as Babies" subfolder or "Parents on Vacations" subfolder within the "Family" folder.
These folders and subfolders seem to have been carried through to this new Photos app as "iPhotos Events".
But I dont seem to be able to continue sorting - like creating new subfolders within folders.   For example, in Photos I don't seem to be able to create an album within in an album.
Am I missing a trick here?
Is Photos unable to do this?
Or, is the community please able to suggest another alternative solution - like, would using the Pictures folder in Finder be better, perhaps in conjunction with DropBox instead of iCloud?
Or another photo organizing app that is able to sort folders and subfolders?
Thank you for your help in advance!

One way to create folders, subfolders, albums, is to make sure you have your Sidebar showing (menu - view > sidebar) and then use "Control + mouse click" on a folder you want to create a subfolder or album in to bring up the contextual menu.   You can also do these things in the upper right of the Photos window using the + icon but that always seemed to put those items in the top level of the sidebar so I would have to drag and drop them to the folder where I wanted them to go.

Copying folders and Subfolders with files using Promises WinJS

Hi,
I have app written in WinJS.
I want to copy a particular folder along with its subfolders and their files. I am so far successful with copying folders. Below is the code for the same.
app.CopyFolder = function (folder, destFolder) {
var replace = Windows.Storage.CreationCollisionOption.replaceExisting;
//console.log("create folder: " + folder.name);
return destFolder.createFolderAsync(folder.name, replace).then(function (newdest) {
return app.CopySubFolders(folder, newdest);
app.CopySubFolders=function(folder, destFolder) {
return folder.getFoldersAsync().then(function (folderlist) {
return WinJS.Promise.join(folderlist.map(function (folder) {
return app.CopyFolder(folder, destFolder);
Now after I have copied all the folders I need to copy their respective files. The problem is I am stuck,I get the files copied but I want to proceed ahead after all the files are written to their respective folders. Below is the code for the same.
app.copyAllFiles = function (fileList, destStorFolder) {
console.log('copyFiles Start...');
var promises = [];
var fileCopied = 0;
var collideOpt = Windows.Storage.CreationCollisionOption.replaceExisting;
return WinJS.Promise.join(fileList.map(function (file) {
return app.copySingleFile(file, destStorFolder);
app.copySingleFile = function (fileObject, destFolder) {
var promises = [];
var fileCopied = 0;
var path = destFolder.path + "\\" + fileObject.folderName;
var collideOpt = Windows.Storage.CreationCollisionOption.replaceExisting;
return Windows.Storage.StorageFolder.getFolderFromPathAsync(path).done(function (folderObjectOfLocalFolder) {
return fileObject.fileObject.copyAsync(folderObjectOfLocalFolder, fileObject.fileName, collideOpt).then(function (fileObject) {
console.log("copied single file:" + fileObject.name);
The problem is when i run the folder copy code and apply breakpoint for the success call back of
CopySubFolders(source,destination).done(/*my breakpoint*/)
The folders are created.
But when I try to breakpoint for my copyAllFiles,the files are created only when i pass the success call back.
Can anyone tell me what am i doing wrong? How can I proceed ahead only when all the files are written successfully.
Regards,
Ninad

Hi,
I tried the above solution but what i want is that the action of copying folders and subfolders along with the files should be done with promises and that promise should return only when all folders,sunfolders and their files have been copied. I want to
do it in this way because I want to perform certain second action only when all things are copied.
If I do it the as per the link the function runs in the background and my second action proceed aheads and may cause error if it finds some folder or file missing.
So I came up with following above code,first copy folders then copy. The copy folder works as expected but the files are getting copied only when the file copying code enters the success call back.
Can you please shed light on my code where I am going wrong.
Or is it ok to proceed ahead with the solution you mentioned at the link cause I dont want any runtime crashes.
Regards,
Ninad

Arranging Folders and Subfolders

We are in the process of re-arranging our content into folders and subfolders, and I have heard concerns that after the users have created their folders and subfolders, that they have no way of controlling the order in which they are displayed. This is rather important to us as they want to make sure the most important folders are listed towards the top fo the list, and being that they will be continuously adding folders, it is currently impossible to meet their needs.
Is there a way to manualy or otherwise sort folders the same way there is to re-arange items (little blue up-arrow)? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Product Manager! That has been right under our noses all this time and we didn't even know that functionality was there. You have made our week!!

Search into folders and subfolders

I must realize a procedure ColdFusione that effects the
search into folders and subfolders
on the file System that simulates the Windows API, specially
the function PathMatchSpecW().
How can I realize it?

Thanks for the information,
I must realize an optimistic search of folders and files.
For example in "C:\App\" I have 3 folders Fp_1, Fp_2, Fp_3.
Gives the run "C:\App\Fp_*" I must get the list of the 3
folders.
I use this code:
<CFDIRECTORY DIRECTORY="C:\App\Fp_*"
NAME="MyDir"
SORT="name ASC">
<CFTABLE QUERY="MyDir">
<CFCOL HEADER="NAME:" TEXT="#Name#">
<CFCOL HEADER="SIZE:" TEXT="#Size#">
</CFTABLE>
I have not a record!
Can you write a correct example code?

Looping through folders and subfolders

Hi,
I'm about to create a script to check some tifs and jpgs for the right height and width, resolution and so on.
I could get it to work if I see the files in the content panel (looping through the files by app.document.getSelection ...
The script needs to check many files in different subfolders (all in one parent folder), so I don't like to use a collection to reveal all files of all subfolders first and then start the script.
My plan is to choose the parent folder in the folder panel and the script should loop through each file of each subfolder ...
So maybe there's someone who knows a solution for this problem, it would be great!
Thanks a lot,
Sebastian.

Wow,
That was fast, I'll test it tommorow in the morning, thanks a lot so far!
Hopefully I'll be able to get our scripts together...
Thanks
Sebastian

How to get the Folders and subfolders collection in Project Manager

Hi,
I am trying to get the folders and subfolders collection in Project Manager, so that I will be able to loop through the collection and be able to create a project under the appropriate folder.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Anything you do without submitting to form has to be done on the client side (ususally by JavaScript) using data which has been send already from the server.
With JavaScript you can do quite a bit. You can download tables which don't necessarilly appear on the screen, loading them into JavaScript arrays by dynamically generating javascript. Then you can pick up events like drop-box selection and use these tables to chose what you do next (e.g. preloading other fields, setting drop box content etc.).
Or, you can cause forms to be submitted when actions like a selection happen without the user clicking a button. It's generally a matter of how much data you'd need to transmit.
Another posibility is to use a Java applet, which can generate requests to the server and handle the results as it chooses. That are a number of problems with that but occasionally it's the best solution.
What you can't do is to handle user input inside a JSP. The JSP has come and gone before the user even gets to see your form.
