Filter by file location?

I have referenced images on at least two different disks. I'd love to be able to create a Smart Album that shows me the images on a particular disk. (eg. to decide whether I want to move them)
But while I can filter by Filename, there doesn't seem to be a way to use the file path/disk/folder name as a filter.
Or have I missed it?
Thanks, Quentin

first get rid of 5. get selected finder items. that would add items currently selected in finder. why do you have it there? instead put the following "run apple script action" in the end
<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 run {input, parameters}
(* Your script goes here *)
return item 1 of input
end run</pre>

Where is Tiger junk mail filter pref file located?

I apologize for the redundant post...I posted this in the Tiger/Mail forum but haven't gotten a reply.
I had to reinstall Mail from scratch after I upgraded to Leopard.
Can anyone tell me where the 10.4 junk mail filter pref file is located so I can try and drag it over to my Leopard install and save me the time of physically replicate the filer file.

There is no preference file but the file that stores all Junk Mail "learned" settings is the LSMMap2 file located at Home > Library > Mail > LSMMap2.

How do I filter by file type in Applescript?

Hi
I have put together this AppleScript which opens the folder of the currently playing track in iTunes in icon view. The one thing I'd like to do which I can't work out is to filter by file type. I'd like to just have images/jpgs show in the resulting finder window. Could someone help me out with this?
Thanks
Nick
tell application "iTunes"
if player state is not stopped and class of current track is file track then
set loc to location of current track
tell application "Finder"
reveal loc
activate
set curFolder to (Finder window 1)
set bounds of Finder window 1 to {50, 30, 1870, 1140}
tell curFolder
set current view to icon view
set arrangement of its icon view options to arranged by name
set icon size of its icon view options to 290
end tell
end tell
end if
end tell

OK. Thanks. I can live with finding the JPGs myself. Because they are usually the first files listed when sorted by filename, is there a way of getting the finder window to scroll to the top with Applescript. With the current script it is scrolling to where the currently playing file is.

Formscentral save as pdf file location

Not finding the PDF file location in Formscentral when "save as pdf form" is clicked.

How can I get smaller PDF's without having to shell out for Adobe Acrobat Pro?
This may not help or may degrade any images in your document, but try this: Open the PDF file in the Preview application. Invoke File -> Save As, then set "Quartz Filter" to "Reduce File Size", give the file a different name, and save the file.

File Location As Criteria In Smart Search

I'd like to create a smart folder that shows recently opened/created files in my user folder. However, I want to exclude files from my Library folder (various caches, plists, etc.), anything in my Dropbox folder, and anything in my iPhoto Library. I also want include files from specific folders, like subfolders in my Documents folder.
However, I can't seem to find any search criteria based on +where files are located+. Unless I go through and add search criteria for every single folder I want to include in the search, there doesn't seem to be a way to filter out certain locations and folders.
Does anyone know of a way that I can do this?
Thanks!

Yeah. I've been waiting. The item has been available since the inception of spotlight, but it has always had a comment that it could not be used as a criteria in spotlight searches.

When I download firefox, using recommended setting, or my own, all the sub files/folders like plugins, modules, updater end up on the desktop as well as in the file location. And when I try to put them into the file location, they don't. And when I delete them, FireFox won't open. I tried deleting FireFox and reinstalling it multiple times, and a message pops up sometimes that says FireFox may not have installed correctly, so I follow the steps, but all the extra icons on my desktop don't go away. This has happened every time I have downloaded FireFox. The browser itself works, but I need to know how to get rid of these icons, but still be able to use FireFox. This is on a new computer, with Windows 7.

Managed to solve this myself. Just went to properties > hidden.

File location and name

If I use iPhoto to import files from my camera where are the files actually stored and how do I change the actual file name? I have figured out how to change the picture title but it does not change the file name.
If I use iPhoto to import pictures from the hard drive do they get copied to the iPhoto file location or just linked? When I moved to the mac I created a folder named "old laptop stuff" and moved everything to that folder. I am now trying to organize all of this stuff on the mac. Can I delete the picture files from the old laptop stuff folder after using iphoto to import and organize them?

Hi Dispatcher,
Where are the files stored? Take a look at the screenshot.
iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
You can add titles in iPhoto, but as you found out only iPhoto sees these new titles. To do what you want you have to name the photos before importing into iPhoto. Either download to the computer with your camera software or use Image Capture (found in your Applications folder) to download the photos.
Launch Image Capture (keep the little window open that says no camera is connected or IC will quit if you close the window)
Go to Image Captures preferences and choose what you want to happen when a camera is connected.
Next time a camera is connected, if you chose Image Capture to open, then IC will open and download the photos.
Rename your photos then import them into the library
You can choose to do it either way when you first use iPhoto (this is new in version 6)
If you choose to copy into the library when importing, then the photos are copied into the library (iPhoto Library folder in the Finder)
After you have imported all those folders of images, you can then delete the folder.

How can I find Bitlocker External Key File location?

My Windows 8.1 PC includes a system drive and data drives. All the drivers were encrypted using Bitlocker with the data drives set for autounlock.
I recently decrypted the system drive (without decrypting the data drives) and reinstalled the OS, after which my data drives required the Bitlocker recovery key to unlock.
However, I had "backed up" the recovery keys to my Microsoft account but now I can find only the recovery keys for the system drive. The recovery keys for the data drives cannot be found on my Microsoft account.
I have tried to use the "manage-bde" command at the console to obtain the recovery password but I am only getting the Numerical Password ID and the External Key File Name. Can anyone provide advice on how I can retrieve the passwords or the
External Key File location?
Thanks.

Hi Ridgewood,
As my point of viewer, the BitLocker Automatic unlock volume is also protected by BitLocker Disk Encryption. The user encrypted information is stored in the registry and volume metadata. After a user unlocks the operating system volume, BitLocker uses the
encrypted information to unlock the data volume automatically.
After the reinstallation of the system, the encrypted information is lost and BitLocker can’t unlock the data volume automatically.
Every volume has own recovery key.
As mentioned in your post, the data drive require the recovery key to unlock.
I suggest you to double-check the OneDrive and try to find out where did you store the recovery key.
If you can’t find the recovery key, we can’t help you to decrypt the data volume.
Best regards,

Need advice on retrieving Bitlocker Key or External Key File Location

My Windows 8.1 PC includes a system drive and data drives. All the drivers were encrypted using Bitlocker with the data drives set for autounlock.
I recently decrypted the system drive (without decrypting the data drives, <very bad>) and reinstalled the OS, after which my data drives required the Bitlocker recovery key to unlock.
However, I had "backed up" the recovery keys to my Microsoft account but now I cannot find them.
I have tried to use the "manage-bde" command at the console to obtain the Recovery Keys but I am only getting the Numerical Password ID and the External Key File Name. Can anyone provide advice on how I can retrieve the recovery passwords
or the External Key File location?
Before I had set the data drives to autounlock I had used a recovery password to unlock the drives. However, now when I try to unlock the data drives only the recovery key (which I don't have) is being requested not the password.
Thanks.

Hi HMcBean,
How did you back up the BitLocker recovery key? To local computer, flash driver or Microsoft account?
If you backed up the recovery key to a Microsoft account, please refer to the following article to find it.

Windows 7 ultimate task manager can not open file location

hi, I just re-installed the Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop several weeks ago, everything goes well until I find this error. When I open Task Manger and right click one process, then an error occurs when I click "Open File Location". It shows as
"taskmgr.exe
This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
There is no any information in the windows event log about this error and I try to search online but without any solution. Could anyone help me figure this out? TIA!

Hi,
Since it prompts that it is related with file association, you can try fixing it.

Crystal Report 2008 - File Locations

I'm running out of space on the OS partition (C drive) and want to change the default location(s) in Crystal Report so when reports are created and run, they use space on the D drive.

Hello,
Not exactly clear what you want? Save your reports to your D drive would be my first guess.... If you are referring to the \temp folder then change your system Environment Variable from the default to d:\temp and also change the TMP to d:\Tmp.
You could even set your Swap file to d drive also. I suggest you contact your IT department or search Microsoft's site on how to optimize hard drive space when it's limited. PLEASE back up everything first before making changes to your swap file location, if you don't do it right you may not be able to start windows.
Thank you
Don

How can I set the workgroup templates file location in Office 2013 to point at a folder stored on Sharepoint (2010/2013)?

Hi All,
Been doing quite a bit of research on this but drawn nothing but blanks or alternative suggestions, none of which are viable.
So the outline of the issue:
Deploying Office 2013 suite to organisation and wanting to have custom templates available for users to choose from, but want those templates to be centrally stored and managed on a SharePoint site.
In Word 2013, for example, when you create a new document, you are presented with a page to choose from 'Featured' templates (or blank document)
So, if you wanted to have custom corporate templates, you could modify the file location for work group templates, thus creating a Custom Office Templates folder locally on your PC.
Great. This means when you select 'New' in Word 2013 you can pick from the 'Featured' templates, or the 'Personal' templates area.
However, I have a collection of test corporate templates (for Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc). These are stored on a SharePoint site internally.
If I try to modify the work group templates location in Word 2013 to point towards my SharePoint site (or any HTTP address for that matter) it won't work.
I know that I could point it towards a Network Share location instead, but I don't want to do that.
Is there any way of getting it to point towards a SharePoint site, any way of modifying it? Or perhaps an even better solution that I could use?
Any help, thoughts or ideas would be massively appreciated! And forgive me if any of my logic is off, but it does seem like this should be a straight forward thing to do given that Office and SharePoint are both developed by Microsoft and you
would like to think they would inherently have better links!
NOTE: Going to Office 365 is also not an option either!
Eagerly awaiting an answer from someone incredibly clever!

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your response but this is not what I was looking for.
Those articles relate to setting a default template in a SharePoint document or form library.
I will try to be more concise.
What I want is:
(1) For users to be able to load MS Word 2013 on their laptops/desktops (connected to corporate Wireless/LAN)
(2) Once they have opened MS Word 2013, I want them to be able to choose a template from the welcome screen. (There are MS Word Defaults like 'Blank Document' or 'Cover Letter' etc)
I want to add a second tab which is called 'Personal' or 'Corporate'.
(3) MS Word 2013 allows you to create custom WORD templates and save them locally on your machine (either in the default location for templates, or a user-specified custom location (e.g. My Documents, Desktop etc).
(4) In advanced settings, there is an option to modify file locations. This is where you can point MS Word 2013 towards the folder (locally) that contains the personal templates that you have designed which you want to use.
(5) QUESTION: Is there a way to have lots of corporate WORD templates (perhaps one for Marketing, Sales, Procurement, Project etc) - Basically LOTS of different templates all stored in one location on SHAREPOINT, or in a SharePoint document
library. THEN... once those templates (documents) are stored on SharePoint,
IS THERE A WAY to go back into the advanced settings within MS WORD 2013 and modify the file location for templates so that it points towards the SharePoint document library?
I want all the templates to open in MS Word 2013, not within a browser, and I don't want users to have to go to SharePoint to find a template, I want it to be integrated into their local MS Word 2013 so they can choose a corporate template the moment they
load up MS Word 2013.
When I have tried to modify the custom file location for templates, I can only set it to an address locally on my machine, or a network address (mapped network drive).
However, I do not want the templates to be stored on a shared network folder, I want them to be in a SharePoint Document Library.
The issue I have found is that I cannot enter a SharePoint Library URL as my file location, nor can I enter any HTTP address.
IS THERE A WAY AROUND THIS?

Is there a way to display the file location in iTunes?

I have several external hard drives connected to my windows PC. Over time, I have copied my music files (some I have ripped from CD's, and some I have copied from a friend's external drive) to 3 or 4 different locations, each of which is on a separate external drive. Now, iTunes has gone out and pulled all of those files into my music. As a result, I have 3 or more copies of many songs.
The only way I can see where they are located, as far as I know, is to right click on each song, go to Get Info, and look at the "WHERE" box at the bottom of the window.
Is there a way for me to set the file location up as a field in iTunes? What I want to do now is to move all of my music to one location, then delete duplicates, before backing the entire library up.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

I use CoderPlus workspace & tabbed panels. For me, the file url is on the far right side. See screenshot.
If you click the "Page Icon" in upper right corner to tile, the URL shows on the left side.

Downloads dragged and dropped from Firefox download window into Outlook e-mail show as file location text.

I have a user who normally can drag files from Firefox's Download window into an e-mail in Outlook and it creates an attachment of that file in the e-mail. However, lately, the dragged .pdf or whatever file only shows up as a text file location like:
\\file:%Downloads%\randomfile.pdf
It's not a link either, it's just the text.
I've tried doing a repair of Outlook.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 19.
I've tested dragging items from the desktop to the e-mail and it works fine.
I can't drag and drop from the Downloads window to the desktop.
I just wanted to add this user is using Windows XP Pro.

I can confirm that this is an issue with the newest release of Firefox. I just upgraded my Firefox, which was previously 18.02 to 19.0 and now I'm getting the same error. It's a bug.
