Command-Drag select in list view in Lion

There are many things about Lion that irk the crap outta me, but this one is near the top. In ALL previous versions of Finder, one could, in list view, select a bunch of files by dragging over them, then, holding the command key down, add more non-contiguous files to the selection, again by dragging. If you try that in Lion, it starts dragging the whole lot of what you just selected to, usually, the root folder of the window you have open.
It appears that the only way to add extra non-contiguous files to a selection is to individually click each one of them. Really? Really? Who decided this?
So IS there a way to do as i ask? And no, don't tell me to use another view, that's not helping.
Thanks
Adam

Try it. I dare you.
Okay, smarty-pants:

"Oslo.Master" set as the The default Master Page, but when record selected in "List View Web Part" page shifts to the right.

Hi All,
I have set "Oslo.Master" as the The default Master Page for the site. I have a page with a List View web part and an InfoPath Web Part connected. When the page loads is it displayed correctly. However, when a record
is selected and the infopath web part is updated, the content on the page shifts (indents) to the right.
Is there something I am missing? Does anyone know how to correct this?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Dwayne,
I could reproduce this, as a workaround, we can use javascript code as below to hide the element in the following image.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#contentBox').prev().hide();
</script>

Todo tab: Routes displayed when selecting the List View

Hi,
I have a question about the routes that appear on the workspace's "To do" list view, and how to perform validations when they are clicked.
I've created a process that starts with a form being created by a user. Then, it's validated by a sequence of other users. Each one sees a different set of routes. On one of the steps of the process, one of the routes requires the user to input a text.
The condition is checked on the click event of the AWS_SUBMIT button, where I've also put the text request. If the user is using the card view on the "To do" tab and clicks on the item, the form opens and, when the user submits it, all works as expected. However, if he has the list view and clicks once on the item, the route names appear on the bottom right of the workspace, and he's able to select them. As the form hasn't been opened, there's no control on the selected route, and the user is never asked to input the text. On the next step of the process, which depends on this text, the process gets stalled.
Is it possible to hide these routes on the workspace, disable the list view, or stop the submit if it hasn't been started without opening the form? I know you can customize the workspace, would this allow me to remove the route buttons?
The version we are using is LiveCycle ES 8.2.1.3.
Thank you

Is there any way to hide the submit button(green check mark) that appears on the task card when a user saves a form in their draft folder.
Users are bypassing the form validation by submitting a form this way. For instance, a user will fill out the form with values that do not pass validation. They will save the form in their drafts folder. The user will then close the form and navigate to their draft folder. Without opening the form again, they will click the green check box submit button and a form with invalid data will be submitted to the process.
This is LC 8.2.1.3.

Sorted list view slow.. OS9 is better..

its when making a folder view option as a list view then sort it by date or size, the window refresh slow or it doesnt refresh at all, u still the same view even if theres more files came, or bigger file saved into that folder, like the finder forgets about this window.. and the finder suddenly wakes up when u try to double click on a file that u see in the list.. it run from u and u find that u opened a different file just because the finder forgot to keep this folder updated...
its funny that in OS9 this thing never happend.. u keep seeing every thing happens all the time folder changes files keep updates more often..
is it me or OSX? though i've been suffering from it since OSX1..
my machine is: iMac 20"/2.1GHZ/1GB RAM/250GB HD/10.4.5.. so if any one thinks its slow... its not

"i've been suffering from it since OSX1.."
I'm with you on that one (10.0 for me) - the OS X "Finder" failing to refresh windows has been a complaint since the beginning of OS X. The techie types try to tell you how inefficient "polling" is and how this way is better, completely missing the point that it doesn't matter if you save a few cpu cycles if you are wasting seconds every time you want to access a file because you can't trust what the "Finder" is showing you. I had heard that "Tiger" actually improved a lot in this area (eg. with files added through the command line), but other reports have said that "Finder" does fail to update when certain apps are adding the files (I'm actually still on "Panther").
It is truly strange that the company (if only in name) that became famous for their user-centric GUI is the same one responsible for the OS X "Finder". The "Finder" with each version of "OS X" is becoming progressively less user friendly - eg. It takes more mouse clicks to rename an item (icon & list view) in "Tiger" than in earlier versions (yes, I am aware of pressing "Return"). "Tiger" also saw the elimination of "Find", replacing it with "Spotlight", which I gather is more powerful in many ways, but has some surprising blind spots. The ⌘G "Go to Folder" function apparently no longer takes you to invisible folders (although it will take you to a visible folder within an invisible one). On the topic of "invisibles", when 'AppleShowAllFiles' is enabled, all files appear grayed out, not just the ones that would normally be invisible. I had also heard that in "Tiger", you can no longer user control-tab to rotate through the various sort criteria in "List View" (Name, Date Modified, Kind, etc.) as you could in "Panther". You can no longer disable the annoying "Are you sure" warning when you change the extension of a file as you could in "Panther". The "hot scroll zone" at the bottom of a window in "List View" has been reported to be expanded compared to "Panther", so that it is almost impossible to click on a file near the bottom of a "List view" window without selecting multiple files (the problem existed in "Panther" but apparently is much more unmanageable in "Tiger"). "Panther" saw the elimination of marquée style selection in "List View", a standard in pre OS X and something that Windows does. And just compare the gaudiness of Finder "Labels" in "Panther" and "Tiger" to the more subtle yet equally informative method used in pre-OS X. And though not exactly a "Finder" problem, the introduction in "Panther" of the automatic file renaming behaviour in "Save" dialogues (which I'm not against as a feature) was done in such a way that people are prone to lose data...
umm what were we talking about? Oh yeah, "Finder" not refreshing in a timely manner in some situations. Sorry I don't have a solution, but I agree that it is likely not a problem with your hardware, but a function of a design choice made by the "Finder" developers. And it definitely is not "just you".

OS 10.4.3 and List View: Functionality has regressed since update from .2

In the Finder, I exclusively use List View. I like it a lot and it works better for me than any of the other modes for viewing my files.
However, since I have applied the upgrade to 10.4.3 from 10.4.2, I have seen a definite regression in the functionality in the utility of List View, particularly when it comes to cut and paste of text within file names.
Try this example: open a new Finder window in a directory. Press command-2 to get List View (if that's not already the default). Press command-shift-n to create a new folder (should be named Untitled Folder). Press the Enter key to accept the name. Next press the Enter key again to allow entering a new name. Use the mouse to double-click on the word Untitled. Press command-x. "Untitled" won't get into the paste buffer - it just sits there and doesn't move. To make it go away, you must use the keyboard to delete it.
While this sounds like no big deal, it is. I manage a lot of data using my Mac. I need to be able to copy or cut parts of folder names all the time. Changing the Mac interface for an improvement of the user experience is all well and good, but this is a regression and - dare I say it - the introduction of a bug in the Finder.
By the way, this isn't specific to my computer. I've tried it on others and received the same broken behavior. Am I the only one who uses List View and cares??

hmmm is this a variation the copy/paste problem I was having with 10.4.2, where I found it was no longer possible to copy a piece of text from one application to the clipboard and then paste it (CMD + V) into another application or indeed, as the name of a new folder or a file I wanted to rename?
These are matters of the most fundamental functionality of the OS. Those little things we do all the time because we need to. If it's no longer possible to paste in a new folder name, or type one in, to replace "untitled folder" (whether in List view or any other view) that that is surely a bug and not a design feature.
So: I can confirm that I am experiencing something like the "can't rename a folder in List view" except that it's worse - it's "I can't paste anything from one place to a different place, such as three paragraphs of text I created in AppleWorks, into a Word file".

On list view in folders, how do I click drag second group of files?

Back in Snow Leopard and all previous systems, I was able to on list view in a folder be able to click and drag a set of files to select them, then by pressing command again, click drag on a second group of files I would like to select together and so forth. This was handy as I can select really quick on list view folders and files which I need. Obviously the files are listed alphabetically and I don't need to select them all, only groups of files eg. files which are all pdfs that are randomly spread out based on names, or mp3s which I want to move but not move the folders that are in the same folder. You get my drift.
Now on Lion, I can only click drag first group of files, and then on second selection by pressing command, I cannot drag anymore files except for the first click of the file I select.
Is this going to be like this for Lion or did Apple leave this out accidently? Is there a setting I can set back to previous style of group click/drag selection?
This is a bit annoying as I would like to quickly group select a could of groups in a folder QUICKLY to drag to other folders or to simply trash them all in one go. Now I have to stop and start and it slows down my productivity when I have to clean my files on my computer.
Thanks for your help.

I have the same problem.
I've made another post...
Hoping this is a Bug and not a new feature...

How can I get a list view after selecting "see all"?

I just updated to iTunes 12. I've looked on the net for this but couldn't find anything on it.
Previously when I searched for something in the iTunes store I'd pick a certain category of media (podcasts, for example). It would give me the first few results and then I could select "see all." Then get a list view and sort it.
Now when I click on "see all" I get an album cover view. NOT a list view. And I have no way to sort the results. I usually sort by time.
What's odd is when I'm still on the initial page you get after making a search I *can* sort the results. But only the first 10.
Basically, I need a way to sort all of my search results by time. Either after selecting "see all" or having iTunes show many more than 10 results.
This was possible (and the default, I think) in previous versions. I've looked through every menu and I don't see a way to turn this functionality back on.
Thanks.

Hi,
There is no such PowerShell command can achiev this. Maybe you can use a script to get the user name with folder redirection enabled. However, I am not familiar with writing script, and it would be better for you to ask in script forum below for professional

My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

Drag and Drop in List View

When in the List view in Finder, I would like to drag and drop a folder in Terminal to cd to that path. However, it does not appear that List view allows dragging and dropping at all even to copy files within Finder. Is it by design? I like List view because it allows me to see the tree view of folders like in Windows Explorer. Thanks.

Works here. I've never had any issue selecting anything in list view (the only one I ever use in Finder windows) and dragging & dropping into a Terminal window and getting its path. Create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the behavior persists.

Cant drag and drop from file-roller to nautilus when using List View

Hi, im using file-roller and i can only use drag and drop feature from file-roller when i use Icon View. If i select List View i cant drag and drop.
Is that an expected behavior or its a bug? Is there a patch or work around? (File Roller 2.20.1 and Gnome 2.20.2)
I think its a problem with file-roller cause in my other box, running ubuntu 7.10 i have the same problem, but i can drag and drop from ark even when using List View.
Thx!

Well, sorry for the double post, but after a little research i found this is a bug, actually a not yet implemented feature. There is a patch and probably its going to be merged in next version.
Ill try to apply the patch myself, if it works could the maintainer Jan de Groot put it on the repository?

List View selected categories

Hi. Is there a way to remove the categories displayed in the list view? I can manipulate the items I want on the Metadata tab, but I can't seem to remove items when I go to (V)iew. Thank You...

You want to change the metadata live in the list or you want change what is displayed?
You can change what is displayed and in what order but not the content.
You can change the info displayed by Choosing View>>Metadata>>>Customize. (command J). This will display the Metadata Preferences.
In the Browser section choose a View from the drop down next to Grid or you can make your own custom View in the metadata Inspector and choose that.
You can also drag the columns around in Grid view to change the order of what's displayed.

Have an onchange event in SPD to update a list based on user selection of data view drop down?

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction: I have a list for Media announcements, each one of these announcements will have various types of documents associated (via look up field in the doc library). I am trying to have a data form web part (dropdown)
as the selector (as I am not liking the SharePoint list filter feature) to have a user be able to select the Media Title, then it refreshes the three web parts on the page (1 for the announcement, then one for type1 docs and one for type 2 docs.)
What is the best way to create an onchange event to have the selected option be connected to the first web part (media title on a list view) so that the information on the page can all be filtered?

Hi,
Would you mind providing more details about your requirement? Are there one Announcements list and two Document Library in a page?
Suppose you have one Announcements list and two Document Library in a page, then you want to add a Drop Down Menu(not the OOTB SharePoint List Filter Web Part) to filter the
three List View Web Part dynamically.
There will be two workarounds:
1. Use the OOTB “Connections” feature of the list to “Get Filter Values From” one of the three lists, then there will be a “Select” button in that list, we can click it to filter
other two lists/libraries. This is a way without code though we may not have the Drop Down Menu;
2. Add three <iframe> in a page, then add a Drop Down Menu in this page. Now, we will need some JavaScript to listen to the onchange event of this Drop Down Menu. We can
get the values populated in the Drop Down Menu from one of the column of one of the list, when making a selection in it, we can pass an URL with query strings to the three iframes which will show the three different lists or libraries.
The second way requires some code to interact with Client Object Model cause we need to get values from a list, some script to handle the onchange event, which seems more suit
with your need.
Here are some links might be helpful if you want to take the second way:

Handle the onchange event using jQuery.change function:

Using "View Selector" in the List View Web Part, changes the web part page to the view selected's page.

Hi,
I am relatively new to Web Parts pages. I created a page with list view web part and a Infopath Form Web Part, which are connect via the "Get Form From" option. My users would like to be able to use views dependent on what
they are looking for. So I created different views. However, when I select the view from within the Web Part, it changes the web part page to the list view page. I must be doing something wrong. How do I configure the list view to show
the selected view and results within the existing "list view web part"?
Thanks,
Dwayne

Hi
Lindali,
Sorry, but this has not been answered to my liking. The "List View Web Part" has the ability for the user to select the view from within the web part, so there you should be able to select a different view and have it appear within the same web part.
Does anyone know how to complete this task?
Thanks,
Dwayen
