Disable view as icon

Every time I create a new controller/indicator from the block diagram windows, it keeps placing the newly created controller/indicator from block diagram windows as "view as icon". How do I disable this view so that it always default to false? I don't want view as icon.

Apparently new users prefer the big and bulky.

As for the express VI's that is a good suggestion and I've never found a way for an express VI to default as a small Icon View (and turn off the caption). If this is hidden INI key I want it.
But honestly I use express VIs so seldom that it doesn't bother me too much.

Is it possible to disable "View in Place" in Apple Mail?

Trying to type an email with a massive pdf or jpg blocking my view is a bit annoying, as is needing to right click and hit "View as Icon" every time I add an attachment. Is it possible to completely disable "View in Place"?

Yes, I know it. I replaced the default transferhandler
with my own. I have two JLists, I need to disable the
drop component in the first JList and the the drag
component in the second one, so I can only drag items
from the first list to the second one, and not the
other way around. Is it possible?Of course it is... if you had read the tutorial you wouldn't ask for it, but here are useful links:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JList.html#setDragEnabled(boolean)
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/JComponent.html#setTransferHandler(javax.swing.TransferHandler)
I hope it will make sense now,

Help needed: view option icons missing

Hi,
There are only blank space in the bar location where my view option icons and spotlighter use to be.
But I can still click the old position and the same functions still working.It is so inconvenient
because I need to guess the choice.
Does anyone have some ideas about how to fix it?
Thanks,

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Networked Folder Blank In "View As Icons"

Hi all
This is a very strange issue
We have a number of Mac who store work on a NAS
When the users open a particular folder in "View as icons" it is
blank (see pic)
However if I change the view to list it is shows all that is in there (see
next pic)
Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can put it right - with a lot of folders list view isn't ideal.
Ironically if I change the folder name it shows in list view for a couple of days before going back to blank

It's not that it has been disabled as such, more that it is not the way that the Finder dialogue works in OS X - Apple made a decision when designing OS X that when in Open/Save mode, the column view (which gives complete navigation through your system like Windows' old File Manager) was the most useful method for locating files.
The way I use OS X, I have to say that i NEVER use Open now from inside programs like Photoshop, which I find a cumbersome way to work. Instead I have the folder open on the desktop in Icon view, the icon size set to maximum, and the Arrange By (sort) set to what is needed for that particular project. I use Command-tab to quickly switch between Photoshop and Finder and then I just double-click the large icon of the document I want to open.
Everyone finds their own best and most efficient way of working, so I hope you find a solution that best gels with how you work. OS X gives you lots of options.

Default Mail attachments to "View As Icon"

Is there a way to default attachments to "View As Icon" instead of previewing them in Mail? Specifically MP3s, since there's no way to drag the preview player directly into iTunes. I know I can just right click to change, but I get a lot of emails with MP3s attached and need to pull them straight into playlists.
Thanks in advance for any help.

"Iconizer" or "attachment tamer" could be your answer.

How can I disable the Email icon in the tool bar from Windows regisrty?

Does anyone know what key and value in the registry enables\disables the email icon? Is it even a registry key? I know that it can be done manually via the UI. Can it be done using Adobe Customization Wizard 8? I have Adobe Acrobat Standard 8 and Reader 4 installed on a Citrix server and would like the default value for the email icon to be set to disabled or even hidden when users open a PDF file.

The values in this registry key change what tool bar options are enabled:
\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AVGeneral\cToolbars\cFile\cInternalButtons

How can I disable viewing of PDF-files in browser in Adobe Reader XI?

Hi everyone
After I have upgraded to Adobe Reader XI, I not longer can find the checkbox under settings>Internet, where I can disable that Adobe Reader XI viewing PDF-files in my browser.
If I instead press on the button, I can see in the dialog box Adobe refers to an article there give me instruction to turn off the viewing of PDF-files via my browser settings. When I follow these instructions, I can see that the plug-in to Adobe is disabled when I not viewing PDF-files in my browser, and enabled when I viewing PDF-files in my browser.
Therefore:
1. Why has Adobe removed the checkbox where I can disable viewing of PDF-files in my browser?
2. How can I now disable and enable viewing of PDF in my browser?
My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit, and my browser is Internet Explorer 8.
Very thanks.
Regards,
Boholdt

Hi again
I have read the article, but I can still not find the plugin I should
disable in Internet Explorer 8.
If I see a PDF-file in my browser, I can select and disable a plugin called
PDF Adobe Reader, but next time I open Internet Explorer 8, I not can see
the plugin.
Another method is between the guide for accessibility
(edit>Accessibility>Setup Assistant. On screen number 4, you can find the
checkbox.
Since I am blind, I can find the assistant.
For my interessting, it is possible for sighted users of Adobe Reader to
find the same assistant?
Very thanks.

Yes, In LabVIEW 2012 you can select any number of terminals, right-click, and change them all at once.
(In LabVIEW 2011 and earlier you cannot do that)

Removing the default (View As Icon) for the control and Indicator

If you remove the default selection View As Icon for all the control and indicator, it is good for the programmer for easy to visualize the Block diagram code.

This has already been suggested - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Default-Option-Do-NOT-Place-Front-Panel-Terminal-as-Icon/idi-p/926871
Also, note that you can already change it on your computer as mentioned there.

View as Icon help

I am trying to attach a jpeg image to an email.
I attach the image and select 'View as Icon' and send it. To the recipient, It appears as the image, however it is the size of the icon and it can not be opened.
I have attached it from the desktop and it is only 500 kb. The other option is to attach as a full size image which works but I want to attach it as an icon.
Unfortunately I cannot get this to work.
Frustrated
Can anyone help me please
Kind Regards
Gregg

How it appears at the recipient's end will depend on their email software.
If their email software does not use html format your attachment will just be a file they will need to open, otherwise the sent image could well appear as an image in the body of the email as it does with you.
You can add the image through either the Mail toolbar Attach, or drag the image from your Desktop into the email.
For the file size, after you add it to your email, at the bottom of the window will be Image size. Choose the desired size, Actual Size would be satisfactory for something 500k big.

View as icon is evil?

I perused through the CLD sample vi, and ALL of the samples' variables are not in view as icon. I attach one of the sample vi.
What gives? Is this some kind of secret convention I dont know about? Or is it just a personal preference that makes the block diagrams look more neat? View as icon looks messy?

"Aristos Queue" did mention one reason to view as icon, which is when doing LVOOP it shows more info about OOP controls. As mentioned before, this "feature" was added only a few releases ago, so many of us are used to the "old" view. It does take up a lot of "real estate" on a block diagram, so that can be an issue.

Hello,
is there an option that the new controls, indicators, ... are at once placed
as always and not as "Icon"? I always have to remove the "View as Icon"
thing to have the old LV6-look.

Hi Powder,
Go to the LabVIEW options (Tools>>Options...) and uncheck the the option named: "Place front panel terminals as icons"

View as icon - Wheres it gone?

I use email attachments a great deal - sending documents and drawings etc. and as there are usually multiple attchments and mail defaults by inserting a preview of the attachment I often right click and select the "View as icon" button. This is really useful if sending over 5 or so documents but I noticed today that "View as icon" has disappeared from the right click menu.
Anyone know where it has gone? Is this the result of an update I haven't noticed? On a similar front is there a way of changing mail preferences so that the attachments appear as icons as a default?
Thanks for your help in this folks.
David

Seems to there for me:
This is in a new message. Also was there on incoming messages.
As for setting it permanently, don;t see anything in Preferences, don;t know if there is another way to do it.

View as icon vs. view as list

If I select "view as icon" for a finder window, it applies that setting to all the windows. Is there a way to "view as icon" in one folder, for example, and to "view as list" in another window. I remember being able to do this in 10.4 on my old laptop.
Thanks,
Ralph

Hey all,
I'm a long time Mac user, way back before OSX. I responded to another thread on a similar subject. It's kind of a long post, but you might find it interesting/helpful. Basically, how an old Mac user approaches the 10.5 Finder (which I've grown to really like, btw).
Here's the thread link...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1766829&tstart=60
Here's the post I put up there...
"Re: Global Finder Window Problems..."
This is actually the default viewing system in 10.5 (newly opened folders automatically adopting the view of any previously opened folder). I little weird at first, but read on for my take on why I think 10.5 is much nicer than 10.4 and preceding OXSs.
I started using Macs in the pre-OSX days, so was used to the completely dependable and always predictable "spatial" Finder of OS9 and down. Spatial meaning, folders all opening in new windows with every window position, view setting, icon position, even scroll bar (if there is one) remembered without exception. Also, no browser mode at all.
So I tried to recreate the old OS9 default folder view in 10.4... First, create a desktop folder, set to icon view, turn off Toolbar/Sidbar, which causes nested folders to open in their own new window. Great! Now all folders within created within that folder adopt that view, right? They do, but not if you drag one to the desktop, at that point the Toolbar/Sidebar magically reappears. It also reappears if you navigate to the same folder via Dock's cascading menu system (assuming you've placed a hard drive or folder there). Another 10.4 oddity...if you have Finder set to open at the top level "Computer" when activated from it's Dock icon, it would never remember icon size and position. Sometimes even forgetting window size/position (at least my install of 10.4 did this). On and on....life with the forgetful, stubborn OSX Finder.
However, 10.5 is fantastic at remembering folder view settings. Only thing is, that's not turned on by default. Instead, the default behavior is for folders to adopt the previous folder view setting. This is actually not a bad thing if you prefer to use the browser style navigation the Finder offers. You alter a view setting, list view for example, browse a while, then change it to icon, continue browsing, etc, etc... Thats 10.5's default behavior. To make a specific folder remember a view state, all you have to do is set the view you want, open the Show View Options and check the Always Open In... check box. Now, it will very dependably remember it's view state.
Personally, I've always had my own ideas about how the Finder should behave, and have suggested them to Apple. I've always thought there should be a separate Finder/Browser app that boots up from the Dock Finder icon. It always opens with the Toolbar/Sidebar on (ie: all folders are navigated to via a single browser window). You set it to some browser friendly view (ie: list, column), and it retains that view state as you browse no matter what view settings you may have set for an individual folder. That's the Finder/Browser. To see unique pre-folder view settings, you open the hard drive icon from the Desktop. It opens with the Toolbar/Sidebar off (ie: all folders open in new windows). You could consider this to not even being the "Finder application". Just think of it as "manually looking at the contents of the hard drive". As you drill down, opening new windows, you can create view states which are always remembered when opened via double click the hard drive from the Desktop.
I attempted to created this behavior in 10.4, but the Finder was just forgetful enough, and stubborn enough, not to cooperate fully (see explanations above). However, in 10.5 it works beautifully. I first set the Finder Preferences to open "Computer", opened the Finder via the Dock icon and set it to Column view. From re-boot to re-boot, this set up is remembered exactly, even the window size and position. This is great for browser navigation.
For "manually exploring" (or as some referred to as "spatial"), you must first tell every window on your hard drive to "Always Open In...." whatever you want you default state to be (other wise it will just open in the state in whatever the most resent folder was opened in). I created a script for this with the settings as...Toolbar/Sidebar off & icon view. I then ran the script on the entire drive, and all sub-folders. Over time, I've changed the settings of folders I want to open differently (mainly list as apposed to icon), making sure I open the View Options and rechecking "Always open in..." to whatever adjustment I made. My drive is in great order now and remembers every view detail. Any windows I don't mess with default to a completely predictable "Icon View".
So 10.5 gives me the best of both worlds. Very reliable spatial (ie: old fashion manually opening window after window....handy for dragging files around the hard drive), and super streamlined browsing...good for navigating to and opening files quickly.
My 3 cents...sorry for the long post.
