Collapsing Folders

I have set up my iPad to work with Microsoft Exchange e-mail, however I have a large number of folders. The iPad does not seem to allow me to collapse these folders. Instead I need to scroll through them all.
Does anyone have a solution to this?

This is my pet peeve about Apple. They people who design the UI for any Apple related product assume that everyone else in the world is a moron.
So the fact that the whole point of having folders in mail is to organize it, escaped them. So now everything is ALWAYS open.
I would suggest that this is because the people who design the apple related UI are morons themselves. This is a sad realization but the number of idiotic UI decidsion made by the Apple UI idiots, sorry - experts, is staggering.
So, to summarize - you cannot do any of the trivial expand/collapse of folders because the mail UI designers are idiots.
Simple.

How do I collapse folders in mail?

I organize my mail into separate folders (e.g - folders for each customer). I find this to be a great way to find emails for a given customer regardless of the subject line. Unfortunately there does not appear to be any way to collapse folders for easy navigation in the mail client on an iPhone. Is there anyway to collapse folders?

Hi I put out the same request and so far the answer seems to be that iPad does not have the ability to collapse and expand the folders.....yet.....I hope Apple will get this feature added soon. I have business folders with many clients and sub-folders within them and the list is growing. I use Gmail and it works fine when I'm on my PC, but not with the iPad.

Website file tree - cannot collapse folders

Viewing the local pages in my site, when I try to collapse
folders, other folders mysteriously expand. So, I click on one +
sign and another folder changes from - to + (expanding). This
happens in both the panel view of the site folders as well as in
the large expanded view -- the one that looks a bit like Explorer
in Windows.
This does not happen every time, but most times. So, for
example, I'll collapse a first folder and maybe a second one, and
when I try to collapse a third folder it does not collapse -- and,
the first two folders expand. This is in DW 8.
I assume things should not be working this way. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I've been looking for this solution for a while, and as i had
65 sites that this was slowly affecting, i'm going to post my
solution, based on alan's recommendations.
generally, the outline below creates a REG file that will
remove all "Local Expanded Dir #" and "Remote Expanded Dir #"
values, and reset the "Local Expanded Dirs" and "Remote Expanded
Dirs" values to 0. and will do it for every site you have
configured within dreamweaver (in my case it was 65 of them to
fix). and it makes it easy to repeat the fix later when it gets
corrupted again.
1. open regedit, go to the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Common\8\Sites and check out
how many site folders you have listed (starts with 0). poke though
the site folders, and make a note of the site that has the most
"Local Expanded Dir #" or "Remote Expanded Dir #" folders - its the
number of these entries you're after.
2. create a .txt file, and add the following content:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Common\8\Sites\-Site0]
"Local Expanded Dir 0"=-
"Local Expanded Dir 1"=-
"Local Expanded Dir 2"=-
"Local Expanded Dir 3"=-
"Local Expanded Dir 4"=-
"Local Expanded Dir 5"=-
"Local Expanded Dir 6"=-
"Local Expanded Dir 7"=-
"Local Expanded Dir 8"=-
"Local Expanded Dir 9"=-
"Local Expanded Dir 10"=-
"Local Expanded Dirs"=dword:00000000
"Remote Expanded Dir 0"=-
"Remote Expanded Dir 1"=-
"Remote Expanded Dir 2"=-
"Remote Expanded Dir 3"=-
"Remote Expanded Dir 4"=-
"Remote Expanded Dir 5"=-
"Remote Expanded Dir 6"=-
"Remote Expanded Dir 7"=-
"Remote Expanded Dir 8"=-
"Remote Expanded Dir 9"=-
"Remote Expanded Dir 10"=-
"Remote Expanded Dirs"=dword:00000000
(blank line here)
3. modify the code abot to include enough lines to cover your
noted number of "Local Expanded Dir #" and "Remote Expanded Dir #"
entries. just copy/paste the lines and change the numbers to match
your needs.
4. now select and copy all the lines in the file, and
repeatly paste them at the end of the file, changing the HKEY site
number (at the end of the KEY) after each paste, until you have
created a group of lines for each site in your configuration. YOU
MUST LEAVE A BLANK LINE AFTER EACH GROUPING - this tells regedit
that a new KEY will be used, and won't work correctly if you don't
leave them.
5. At the top of the file, add this line for Windows 2000, XP
and Vista users:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
(blank line here)
5. save the file, and rename the extension to ".reg".
6. either double-click on the file to import it into the
registry, or open REGEDIT and import the file directly.
for my configuration, i created 100 lines for each of the
LOCAL and REMOTE sets (for these values, more is okay, as it's
telling the system to delete them, and if they don't exist, no big
deal), and duplicated the entire group 65 times. BE SURE TO LEAVE
BLANK LINES WHERE INDICATED.
Makes for a very large REG file, but it cleaned out all the
problems at once. when it becomes a problem later, i can just
modify the file to include more site numbers, and fix it quickly
again.
alan, thanks for the fix - i didn't find anything remotely
related during any google searches - just wasn't guessing the right
keywords i guess - so i finally thought to check dreamweaver forums
directly, and found it almost instantly.
Hope this helps the next person.
(edited to include references to blank lines - very critical
to working correctly)

Collapse folders on close when in list view in finder

Is there a way to have finder automatically collapse all the folders when you close the finder window in list view?

sorry dont think so

Expand/collapse folders in CS4 ?

Searched the forum and through offline help and tried every icon in the panels but can't find this.
In DW CS4 how do you expand/collapse all folders in a site automatically ? Either in panel view or expanded full screen view ?
Or do you have to open/close all folders individually ?
Thanks, Tim R

Or do you have to open/close all folders individually ?
Yes.

Option to expand/collapse folders inside of folders?

Thanks.

With the folder open, from the Finder Menu Bar > View > Show View Options > Arrange By: None > Click "Set as Default"

Catalog/Folders/Collection panels auto-collapsing in Library module

Lightroom 4.3, Mac OS X 10.7.5
Maybe I'm just going crazy today, but working in the Library module, I could swear I used to have the Catalogs, Folders, and Collections panels open at the same time. Now, for example, I have Folders clicked on. So, to reveal the Collections panel, I need to click on the arrow to the left of "Collections." So I do. And Collections opens, meanwhile automatically collapsing Folders. If I click on the arrow left of Publish Services, it collapses Collections, and opens Publish Services. "Navigator" is the only panel I can keep open while one of the other ones is open.
Does this make sense? Did I accidentally hit a key or mess up a preference or something? I just tried moving into a different catalog, and I also updated to 4.3 (I was on the previous version when I noticed this problem this morning) but the problem remains. Am I missing something really obvious?

Never mind. I just figured it out by looking two questions down. Apparently, there is something called "Solo Mode" that does this. How I accidentally activated it, I dont know. To solve the problem, you just right click on any dark section of a panel, and deselect "solo mode" from the drop down menu. I've been using Lightroom for years, and I continue to discover things I didn't know about.
Thanks!

By default collapse all folders in Detailed Navigation

Hi,
Could anyone tell me if it's possible to collapse folders which are build in this manner:
Role 1
.. Folder 1
.... Page a
.... Page b
.... Page c
.. Folder 2
.... Page d
.... Page e
.... Page f
.. Folder 3
.... Page x
.... Page y
.... Page z
ect...
I am working with EP6sp14, especially to run the External Facing Portal.
Thanks helping me and my customer..

Hi Leurs
Ur req is very much possible
What u need 2 do is make ur
1)toplevel navigation level to 0
2)detailed level navigation display level property to 1.
I will explain each step
1) I. Configure Top-Level Navigation
 1.In the Portal Catalog choose Portal Users-> Standard Portal Users. This folder contains the Default Framework Page.
 2.Right-click Default Framework Page and choose Open->Object.
 3.From the Page Content List select the Top-Level Navigation iView and click Properties.
 4.Scroll to the Number of Display Levelsproperty and enter the value 0, 1, or 2, depending on how many navigation levels, if any, you want for top-level navigation.
 Choosing 0 removes your top-level navigation and displays your navigation structure in the Detailed Navigation iView.
 5.Click Save.
2 Configure Detailed Navigation
1.From the Page Content List of the Default Framework Page, select Desktop Innerpage and click Open.
2.From the Page Content List of the Desktop Innerpage select the Detailed Navigation iView and click Properties.
3.Scroll to the Start at Level property and assign a value that is one higher than the value of the Number of Display Levels property in procedure l. Configure Top-Level Navigation. For example, if top-level navigation is configured for one level, the detailed navigation begins on the second level, that is with the value 2.
4.Click Save.
 Detailed navigation is not automatically synchronized with top-level navigation; the values you enter for top-level and detailed navigation must agree. For example, if you enter the value 1 for top-level navigation, while detailed navigation still has the value 3, one level is left out, creating a gap.
III. Configure the Content Area
 1.From the Page Content List of the Desktop Innerpage, select the Content Area iView and click Properties.
 2.Scroll to the Number of Display Levels in TLN property and enter the same value as that of the Number of Display Levels property in procedure I. Configure Top-Level Navigation.
 3.Click Save.
These steps will make ur Portal the way u want, i guess.

Same podcasts with 2 folders in my library

I know the exact same thing has been asked previously, but the question has not been answered and appears as "archived" (original thread from April 2008).
For some reason I have two collapsable folder for one series of podcasts in my library. I will have the 30 or so podcasts in one folder and about 5 podcasts in under the same name but a different folder. If I go to where they are located on my hard drive, the podcast are all in the same folder. I checked the informations (get info) and it's identical, except the episode number of course. I know that I can create a smart playlist, but what I want is to simply merge the two collapsable folders into one, as they are part of the same series. The podcast have been downloaded directly through iTunes. I am using iTunes 10.6

Bump ... I've had this same problem for a long time and now it's getting way out of hand. No matter what fields I change, I have one podcast that is listed as 4 collapsible folders in my podcast library in the itunes application; each folder has different episodes so none are duplicates. However, looking on my HD where the actual files are stored, all songs (from each of the 4 instances) are stored the same folder. How can I get them to display under one single header in iTunes? Thanks.

Need "collapse" option for folder display

My email works great on ipad, but filing emails into folders is a Nightmare for now! Can apple please look at what clever blackberry has done where:
A) you can "collapse" folders so i dont have to scroll past about 50 subfolders to find the folder i need to file my email in, and
B) it even allows you to start typing the key word on the email and finds the right folder for it! Yah! So awesome!
Email on apple ipad (and previously ipad) is really slow and annoying for filing emails by comparism.
I really look forward to a patch or version of mail for ipad i can download or something to fix this please?
I would even pay for it as ab app that integrates to the ipad email if need be as the slow process is really Driving me insane!
I will only continue to buy apple as long as it really is convenient to use. For now, on that point, the work blackberry is saving me much more time!
Thanks for the continuous improvement!

Unread count for nesting Mail folders?

Is it possible for the unread count of a folder in Mail (4.5) to include the unread count of a nested folder? Effectively, I'd like the unread count to "roll up", so that collapsed folders do not hide unread messages in nested folders.

No, there is not. The Mail icon badge shows the count for the sum of the Inbox new mails only.

Fixing the path for images in RoboHelp 8

I am rather new to Robohelp, so please forgive me if this has been addressed in another dicussion...I have been searching and cannot seem to find what I am looking to describe.
I am working in Robohelp 8, and creating a new help system by importing topics from a previous help system. The problem I am running into and I cannot see how to fix is that there are a couple of topics that have images where instead of the path for the image directed to a folder called "Images" in the main directory, it dumps the graphic into the project manager window when I import the topic. I tried viewing topics that don't have their images on the main project manager window, and comparing against the one that does, and I cannot see the difference. I have tried renaming the images and placing in the correct folders, and then inserting the images into the topics, but it still tries to look at the main folder and still dumps the image into the project manager.
Any help you can provide please share.

I am going to say yes (because it sounds like what I am trying to get at, but not sure).....I have tried deleting the images, and recreating, and then re-inserting into the topic, and they still go to the root of project. As I am going along, I am finding more and more.....so far there are 20 images that are doing this. However, I also just did what you mentioned and dragged it and put it under the topic. But I am still confused as to why I would need to do this for some topics and for other topics the images don't appear at all (meaning they don't show under topics or root of project), they are just linked through the folder on the main directory. Does this image help more?
Left of picture above: The folder directory has a folder called Images, and this is where all of the images were stored and are stored for the new project.
Middle of picture above: The topic Horizontal Command had an image in it "image20.gif", and it was at the root directory and as you suggested I moved to the topic. Also see the topic circled Expand and Collapse Folders topic has the image circled at the left within it.
What I am trying to understand is why would the graphic from the Horizontal command topic dump into the root of the project, while the image from the Expand and Collapse Folders topic not show on the root project or even within the topic listed. (Which is what I prefer for all topics).

Open & Save on many applications dialouges acting very strange lately!

This is a weird situation to explain because it is so odd to me, and I've never seen anything like it.
On applications like Mail, Photoshop, Text Edit, and other programs (both Apple and non-Apple) have been giving me very odd behaviors when saving and opening files while scrolling through directories to find the correct directory to save in/open from.
It's difficult to explain this behavior without a video tutorial but I will give it a shot. I will walk you through it. I am in Photoshop now. I have a file open and I want to save it for web. I hit AppleShiftS and the menu pops up. I hit Save. The dialougue comes up. I am currently in the viewing in detailed view (the button on the left where you choose which way to view your dialogue, the one with the horizontal lines going across). Now first of all, none of the dialogues on my computer lately ever "remember" where I saved last. You know how when you save into a certain directory often, when you save again, it should remember so you don't have to click on eighteen folders to get back to where you were? Well, this doesn't happen anymore for me. ANYWAY, so I click on my external drive. On the right, the contents of the root directory of my external pop-up. Here is where it gets weird. I double-click on BLACK SEA (a folder for my design company, that is called Black Sea) to open it. Instead of taking me to that directory, it basically displays every folder inside BLACK SEA underneath it. Now, keep in mind, there are no arrows next to the folders. It isn't collapsing/expanding the folder like it does when arrows or plus signs are next to folders. It just displays the contents underneath, with no indentation. So, I keep clicking on folders to get to the specific folder I want to save in (this means double-clicking about 5 more times, to get to the desired folder). As I am doing this, that thing I explained is happening, and sometimes, when I double-click, it doesn't open the folder. It just freezes and doesn't respond. Either that, or it will open it, but display the contents of the folder it belongs in, instead of the contents of the folder I'm clicking on.
Okay, you're probably really confused now, aren't you? I don't blame you.. it's hard to explain what is happening. Basically, to sum it up, my open/save dialogues are acting fishy and not acting the way they should. I'm pretty computer literate, I am a pro graphic designer and web designer so I know what I am doing. I have tried restarting and repairing permissions. I think I may have to run first aid? What do you all think? Ever had similar experiences?
And before you blame it on photoshop... remember, it does this in mail when choosing attachments, or in Text Edit when saving or opening files, and other programs like Cyberduck (FTP) and my HP Scanner Utility when saving what I scanned.
A few key things to remember that the Finder application does NOT do this (and for that I am THANKFUL because since I can't for the life of me save a file where I want it saved, I end up saving it as close to where I can get it, then go into Finder and drag it to it's proper folder since I can't accurately save in these programs I'm having trouble with).
Also, in the other viewing option (the button next to the one with the horizontal lines in the saving/opening dialogue), this works properly. This is the method I have to use in order to save, because it behaves as it should (expanding/collapsing folders in the window to the right of the folder I am clicking on). But personally, I hate this view, and would rather use the other one.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. I am sure you do because I wrote a novel and I know it is confusing but I did my best.

My goodness, you certainly gave a detailed description!!!!!!!!!
Have you tried using your system restore disk to check for errors on the internal drive using Disk Utility. (Not the Disk Utility in your Applications folder). If not, shut down your Mac. All at the same time, press the Power Button, hold down the C key and insert your system restore disk, probably number 1. Keep holding down the C key until you see the Apple logo on the screen, then let go.
At this point, go to the Menu and click Utilities/Disk Utility. When DU opens, select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, make sure First Aid is selected then click Verify. If DU reports errors, click Repair. After that's finished, Quit Disk Utility from the Menu, then click Utilities in the Menu again and then click Startup Manager. When that window opens, select MacintoshHD and click Restart. That will boot you back up from your internal drive. See if you see a difference.
If that doesn't help, I see you are running 10.4.8. You are two updates behind. Run Software Update from the Apple Menu. After you run the update, run Disk Utility (from your Applications/Utility folder) and Repair Disk Permissions. (Always do that after a software update) Reboot and see if that helped.

CS3 on Vista - Site Panel acting buggy

In DW CS3 on my new Vista machine, the Site Panel is behaving
weirdly. When
I try to expand/collapse folders, it acts buggy; as I
carefully click the -
[minus sign] in front of one folder to close/collapse it, a
completely
separate directory will open/expand. I've tried it a bunch of
times and this
is definitely what it's doing. It's a pretty serious hassle
for me.
Anybody else seen this? Anything I can do about it?

Well, now you've heard of it. :-) I sure hope to find a
solution, because
it makes it very hard to use the Site Panel at all.
