File size display issue in DM 2?

I'm seeing some flakiness in the file sizes shown in the new Desktop Manager. I have a nominal 8GB card, which DM shows as 7.5GB. It shows 778MB Used, 5.6GB Music and 16384PB free (a petabyte is 10^6 gigabytes, so this is 16,385,000 terabytes).

Finder often takes it time updating the file size. When the ZIP starts, it creates a small file, because it doesn't know how big the result will be. When it finishes, it closes the file with the correct size, but is neglecting the sending of a notification to the Finder, so the old file size is still displayed. When you do something that forces the finder to look at the file again, it corrects the display of the file size.
(The large size is correct, because MPEG, MP#, JPEG, etc. files are already compressed, so cannot be compressed much more.)

    Why isn't the file size displayed for software updates in the App Store?
    My only internet connection is a tether to my iPhone.
    My limited bandwidth forces me to manage my data consumption - I am forced to "google" the file size of the software update so I can decide if I have the headroom in my data plan to take advantage of the update.

    If you click on the name of the Application in your Updates Available list,
    it will take you to the update Imformation for that App.

  • Any way to change file size display to NOT use GB or MB notation?

    I'd like to see exact byte counts for file sizes from time to time in the windows listing files (without having to Get Info). I've searched for options to change how file sizes are displayed by finder but have come up completely empty. Any chance this choice has not been completely co-opted from me by Apple's omnipotent designers?

    Welcome to Discussions.
    I believe there are 3rd-party applications that do it, such as [WhatSize|http://www.id-design.com/software/whatsize] and perhaps also [Path Finder|http://www.cocoatech.com].

  • Incorrect files sizes displayed in the finder

    My early 2009 iMac with 4GB Ram, 650Gb HD, running OSX Snow Tiger (latest version) is showing incorrect file sizes for many things.  For example, a 4.21GB DVD will show on the desktop as being 4.58GB... any thoughts??

  • Where is file size displayed in PSE?

    I recently took a Photoshop class (not PSE) and saw that the original file size and the current size (which grows with each edit) is always shown in the lower left corner. I like that. Does PSE do this as well? Thus far I have only seen the image resolution info, but not file size (as measured in MB).
    thanks.

    No, the file size (document sizes) shows the size of the file once it is
    saved. This is megabytes and using a psd for saving the file.
    It's just an estimate of the file size.
    The number on the left shows the size with all the layers flattened into one.
    The number on the right shows the size with all the layers intact.
    I guess these numbers are really just for reference, since the actual size once saved
    varies with the format used for saving.
    I think the max file size for elements in pixels is 30,000 x 30,000.
    A normal photo might be 3,000 x 2,000 pixels, so most people would
    hardy ever have a file of 30,000 x 30,000 pixels.

  • Media File Size an issue?

    Hi, a quick question.
    I have a QT file that's about 47 GB in size. Does this affect FCP's ability to process anything? Is it worth breaking the QT into quarters just so the file size is smaller, or does that not affect FCP in any way?
    Austin

    When you edit in Final Cut Pro, the actual media is not changed in any way.
    The clips that you make in FCP are just instructions to play the original from one particular position to another.
    What can influence FCP's ability to play the footage are: the codec that the video file uses, drive speed, how much RAM and CPU horsepower you have.
    The fastest drives that the iMac listed in your profile can work with are connected by FireWire 800.
    (You should always use a dedicated drive for media, never the system drive).
    So to fully answer your question, we need to know the codec that your video uses.
    Open the file in QuickTime Player. Press command and i to open the Inspector.
    Tell us what it says there.

  • File sizes displayed in Bytes?....

    Since upgrading to Lion, when I try getting info on a folder/file, the size used on the disk or filesize is displayed in Bytes (with GB's in parantheses afterwards). This seems unintuitive to me and makes it a little less easily apparent what the filesize is. Is there any way to change this? I have looked around with no luck so far....
    Thanks!
    ex:

    hmmm I don't think you are understanding what im saying.
    Lets say I have a file that is 10GB. In most situations, I'd say its easier to say its a 10 gigabyte file than say its a 10000000000 byte file. If my friend asked me how big the file was, I would say "oh its 10 gigs" not "its 10000000000 bytes"
    That's the point of having different units (bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, etc) it abbreviates it, and makes it a more managable number. Spedometers don't display your speed in inches/hour for a similar reason.
    So back to the original question. I'd much rather see GB (or MB or whatever the largest unit is) BEFORE bytes as that is used FAR more often and easier to understand. Im pretty sure almost everyone would agree with that...
    yes, I can still see the information I want, its just not as readily apparrent now and I'd rather see it before bytes. Am I the only one who thinks swapping the order of this information was kind of counter intuitive?

  • Captivate 6 startup admin prompt always appearing and file menu display issues

    Hi,
    Product: Adobe Captivate 6.1
    WinVer: Win7x64
    Our users are non local administrators. At startup they get the below screen as expected:
    The problem is the screen always appears at startup, even if they check the "Don't show" box.
    Secondly the menu doesn't display when Captivate 6 is launched unless maximized:
    I've also noticed when the above issues exist Adobe Captivate 6 isnt creating\writing the files "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 6.0\info.cpi" or "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 6.0\objects\objects.cpo".
    Both the above issues can be fixed if the user goes into the preferences menu and unselects "Startup message in Microsoft Windows Vista/Win7".
    The problem here though is the users dont know to do this and they shouldnt have to. Is there a way to set this option unchecked in preferences by default or to get the initial admin dialog checkbox option to work correctly?
    Thanks,
    David

    Hi Dave,
    Thanks for reaching Adobe Community Help. Please accept my sincere apologies for the same.
    In order to disable the startup admin box permanently go to Edit > Preferences > General Settings > Confirmation Messages and unchek "Startup message in Microsoft Windows Vista/Win7".
    But the Don't show button works just fine as well.
    Is it not working on one machine or all the machines?
    Thanks!

  • Feedburner file size limitation issue

    Hey guys,
    I'm Alex woking at 'micimpact', South Korea.
    We launched our video podcast in April and now have uploaded more than 80 episodes in the channel.
    We are using Blip.tv to upload the video files and burned our feed in Feedburner.
    But the problem is, as the title is implying, Feedburner won't allow me to upload new episodes due to the 'feed filesize limitation' issue.
    So I have 2 questions;
    1) is there a way fo me to reduce the filesize?
    if not,
    2) is there a way for me to continue uploading episodes WITHOUT having to delete older episodes
    My understading of the issue goes this far.
    I will be more than happy to recieve advises from people who experienced similiar problems.
    *the url of the Feedburner feed is
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/micimpact-tv
    (there should be 6 more episodes showing which are already uploaded in Blip.tv)
    *the url for the podcast:
    http://itunes.apple.com/kr/podcast/cheongchungominsangdamso/id516903991?mt=2
    Cheers!
    Alex

    The blip.tv link is to the web page, not the feed, and I can't see a link to the feed on it. However, the Feedburner feed will contain everything that's in the blip.tv feed, plus an number of tags which FB adds for the benefit of other rss readers.
    It's the first time I've come across a size limitation on Feedburner. The problem is that the blip.tv feed is, to be brutally honest, a mess - it's got masses of 'blip:' tags which are no use to iTunes but expand the size of the feed considerably.
    Presumably there's no way of getting FB to accept more than 512k in the feed (though you could approach their support, if any, for advice), so unless you want to go through the hassle of finding another way of making your feed (and I have to say that blip.tv has caused problems in the past and it's not a method I would recommend) your only option is to start removing older episodes. 81 is rather a lot anyway - new subscribers are not really very likely to go to the bother of downloading 80 older episodes, so dropping the oldest episodes is unlikely to have much practical effect.

  • Display file size

    i'm trying to get the file size displayed in the finder.  i can right click on an individual file to 'get info' and find the size, but can the size be displayed routinely in the finder?
    i tried to 'view options' but 'size' and 'calculate size' are greyed out and cannot be checked.

    Are you talking about the results of Spotlight searches? If yes, see this tip

  • PDF file size expansion problem

    A colleague sends me a 4 MB PDF file from his Dell.  I receive it on my Macbook Pro and save it; it's now a 7.6 MB file.  I write a new one line email, and attach the PDF to my email; it now shows up as a 9.8 MB attachment.  When I send; the email size shows up as 10.1 MB file, which blows the Exchange Server limit (or so I believe; the error suggests a file size limit issue, but I've not yet verified the exact file size limit of the Exchange Server service we use).  I expect some modest expansion/differences, but 2.5 MB every time I just look at it doesn't make sense.
    When I duplicate this procedure with my Gateway PC, (same file, email, exchange server etc.) the file size remains constant at 4 MB. 
    I just noticed the Gateway has Adobe Reader, the Macbook Pro does not.  Could the way OSX is treating the PDF be causing this, would Adobe Reader (free or full version) solve this and (3) what technically is happening here?
    Help and understanding is very much appreciated.

  • File size in predefined searches

    Is it not possible to have the file size displayed in predefined searches?
    Thanks for any help...rob

    Understood. See http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/Leopard/leospot.html for info on Leopard's Spotlight and my mod to Finder's Find at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6725932 for what you can change so you can find stuff.
    If you want to report this to Apple, send bug reports and enhancement requests via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

  • File size vs. storage size

    I'm confused about the size of my jpg. file. when i go to "image size" and open it, it shows up as 9.1 MB. When i go to "get info" it shows up as 2.8 MB . WHICH is it???? The jpg. is flattened, so this is not referring to a layered file. very confusing! thanks for any insight you can provide
    patti

    Patti:
    When opened in Photoshop (PS), file size is shown as the uncompressed file size of the PS image, including layers, layer masks, extra channels, etc. The "get info" file size is the size of the file as stored on disk, using JPG compression, ZIP compression for channels and masks, or even LZW compression for TIF files.
    These two sizes will always be different. In general, you should care more about the "get info" size, as that will fill up you hard drive. But the file size displayed in PS will affect PS's performance, so it is relative as well.

  • File sizes in iTunes are still in Mebibytes not Megabytes

    The file sizes displayed in the "Size" column, and in the "Status Bar" at the bottom if more than one track is selected, are still showing Mebibytes, whereas the Finder displays file sizes in Megabytes ever since Snow Leopard was introduced in August, 2009.
    If you insist on display Mebibytes then you should use the correct abbreviation of "MiB" (not MB) after the size figure to save confusion.  Or you could follow Donald Knuth's proposal and use the MMB suffix.
    It would be more consistent to mimic the changes to Finder and correct this.   Otherwise users might get confused when the Finder tells them they have enough space on a Memory Stick or external disk drive to copy some selected track(s) but when they try to do so then the copy doesn't fit.  For instance, Finder says the destination has 21.0 MB available, iTunes says the selected track is 20.1 MB, and the copy fails because it is really 20.1 MiB which is actually 21.077 MB.
    The best way is to just alter iTunes to display true Megabytes (1,000,000 bytes).  If it was a good idea for Finder then it's a good idea for iTunes, even if it is 5 years late.

    Pete,
    As I am sure you know, it is quite common in all kinds of computing to refer to Mebibytes as Megabytes.  You are correct that this is not quite correct, but the difference is small and people are used to it.  The Finder point is interesting, but around 85% of iTunes installations run on Windows.
    However, you can make your suggestion known directly to Apple via the iTunes Feedback page:
