Creating a New Finder Column??

Hello,
Ive been wondering for a long time now, is there a way to add another column to the finder windows to organize it in a certain way?
My "download's" folder gets bombarded with constant useless cr*p that I keep for the sake of keeping it, but I want to be able to organize them in the way of "Date Added", but unfortunately, OS X doesnt have this feature in its limited types of columns. It only has Date created and Date modified, both of which dont help me because those dates are moved around with the files themselves, meaning a 4 year old picture i downloaded today would end up at the very bottom of the list. ):
Is there a way to add a column?
What about with console?

as baltwo said there is no way to make a "date added" column. in fact there is no such thing in unix, period. That makes it very unlikely that a feature like this would be implemented. of course you can always leave apple feedback on the issue
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
However, there is an easy workaround for this in your situation. make a folder action that would run a "touch" command on anything added to the Downloads folder. that would reset its modified date to the time it was added.
Paste the following into Script Editor
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this_item in added_items
set ppath to POSIX path of this_item
do shell script "touch " & quoted form of ppath
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to</pre>
save it as a script in homedirectory/library/scripts/folder action scripts (or in /library/scripts/folder action scripts)
and attach this folder action to the Downloads folder.

  • Report Builder chrashes when creating a new formula column

    Dear all,
    whenever I try to create a new formula column in the data model, that is placed outside of a query, my report builder crashes completely. The same happens on my colleagues notebook.
    If anyone has an idea why this could happen, please let me know. I am currently using Version 9.0.4.1.0.
    Thanks and br
    Daniel

    You can keep the report builder you have now. Just install the new one in new oracle home. You can download it from here
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/htdocs/904winsoft.html
    This download has Developer Suite 10g (Report 9.0.4.0.33, Form 9.0.4.0.19, JDeveloper, Discoverer, Designer)
    I don't think so you can select which product you want to install, like it was in 6i. So it will install everything.
    Try to install this version. Hope this will help.
    Thanks

  • Column View creating a New Folder?

    In the Finder (Column View) it seems when you right click in ANY column to create a New Folder, the New Folder always gets created in the LAST column being viewed. In Leopard 10.5 you could create a New Folder in any column just by right clicking an empty space within that column. It seems this behavior does not work in Snow Leopard now. I have submitted feedback thru the website, however, does any one know how to get this functionality back in Snow Leopard's Finder?
    Thank You!

    AFAIK, there is no way to do that. Finder has been rewritten for Snow leopard and this is how it works now. I must say that the new way makes more sense to me than the old one.

  • Creating a new document in Finder with right-click--How?

    Is there a way to create a new document in a Finder folder by right-clicking (or Ctrl-left)? So that the new file will be created at that very spot, in that very folder.
    In Windows-Explorer this was quick and easy. Just right-click and you could choose from a menu to create a new empty doc of the most popular (installed) programs. Text file was mandatory. The file was created where the curser was at. VERY handy as that way you didn't have to open the application, create a new doc and then when saving having to crawl your way all the way to the position in the Explorer/ Finder.
    Since I started with Apple and Tiger I've been missing this feature and Snow Leopard still does not seem to have it. Or did I miss something? I checked all the menue as well. There's not even a "Create new document". Only a "Create new folder". 
    I was just reminded of this when I wanted to create a new file on an external drive on a server to save some text in it. There was no way other than first opening Textedit, saving the empty file on the local Mac, THEN transferring the empty file to the server. Only THEN I could open it and edit it.
    There MUST be a quicker way.
    Also, in Windows you could edit this list in the menu (and add programs that would not by themselves do this). Is there a way for the Mac?
    Cheers,
    Jay

    I might have just found a solution myself:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/10432377?messageID=10432377&amp%3b#1043237 7
    It seems other people are wondering too.
    And for those of you who don't understand why this is useful: Try it.
    Open Textedit, Apple-N, and then save the darned file somewhere deep in the labyrinth of the Finder where you've just been but withouth the file. It takes AGES.
    I, on the other hand -- at least in Windows --, right-click, new, double-click AAAND I'm on editing the file.
    VERY quick.
    It's beyond me why this is not possible on a Mac.

  • Getting Error while creating a new column in a list or library in a site collection - Sharepoint 2013

    Hi,
    I am getting below error when i create a new column in a library or list,
    "Save Conflict
    Your changes conflict with those made concurrently by  another user. IF you want your changes to be applied, click back in your browser, refresh the page, and resubmit your changes"
    Any help please.
    Smile Always

    Hi,
    I have done a test in my SharePoint 2013. And I can re-appear your issue.
    Per my test, I found that If  there are more than one user create a new column in
    a library or list at the same time, when we
    click ok after the other users, we will get the error.
    Or if we open a library or list in two windows with the same user, when we
    create a new column in a library or list in two windows
    at the same time, we will get the error.
    To resolve your issue, refresh your page and
    create a new column again.

  • When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

    When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
    All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
    I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
    Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

    It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Turn off iCloud completely
    Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Note:   If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help). 
    On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
    If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
    On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
    Note:   If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.

  • How do i create a new folder in finder

    how do i create a newfolder in finder. whenever i click new folder it creates a new folder in whatever folder is highlighted. i need a new folder altogether.. also how do i give that folder a new icon

    The information below is in the Finder's Help menu. Your problem creating a new folder may be due to your not having the correct window activated.
    *Creating a folder*
    You can create folders to organize your files and applications.
    In a Finder window, open the location where you want to create the new folder.
    Choose File > New Folder.
    To give the folder a new name, select it, then click its current name. Type a name for the folder and press Return.
    If the New Folder command is dimmed, you do not have permission to create a folder inside the folder you opened.
    *Changing the icon of a file or folder*
    You can use custom icons for any file or folder in the Finder. You can create your own icons or download icons from websites on the Internet. Once you have custom images, you can replace icons for items.
    In the Finder, select a file whose icon you want to use.
    Choose File > Get Info.
    Click the icon in the Info window and choose Edit > Copy.
    Select the file whose icon you want to replace and choose File > Get Info.
