Finder Column Resize Field is missing - whitespace instead

Hi,
I noticed that the little column resize field on the vertical dividers in Finder (the one with the two vertical lines on it) has gone missing. There's now a whitespace instead, which I can still use to resize the column. So the problem is more of a cosmetic nature, yet those dangling scrollbars look a bit irritating.
here's a screenshot of it: www.sfu.ca/~msteger/scr1.png
Somewhat related, the gradient in Safari's title bar is not continuous but has a sudden step just above the bookmarks. www.sfu.ca/~msteger/scr2.png
I don't recall any particular event after which this issue came up. I recently installed the 10.6.2 Combo Update but that didn't make any difference.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Mike

Hmm... There are some simple troubleshooting steps you can take.
Be sure you drive is not overly full. Rule of thumb would be over 85%.
Create a new User go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
If the issue is limited to your user account try starting up Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your apps functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
If the issue is systemwide then, you may be able to repair this with the The 10.6.2 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

  • Finder Column Resizing Issue

    I've noticed that now, in Column view in Finder, if you resize a column to a larger size for example, and then click on a Folder, the next column will be the same size as the previous column that was made wider. However, most of the time, it is just that folder I needed to resize and the subsequent folders, I do not need to. Is there a way to change this behavior?

    Hello:
    Could you detail a little bit more about the column sizing issue you are having?

  • CSRF form field is missing

    Hi,
    I have a classical asp .net application which is using asp.net 4.0 architecture(using Webforms and NOT MVC). To prevent CSRF attacks I am trying to use AntiCSRF implementation given by codeplex.
    When I try to redirect a certain page using ‘Server.Transfer’, this causes an exception saying ‘CSRF form field is missing’. Instead, the page can be redirected successfully using ‘Response.Redirect’. Any idea?
    Can you please anybody help me.

  • BPM Workspace - Persistent column resizing & locking down Priority field

    Hello All,
    BPM version 11.1.1.7
    1) In the BPM workspace, a user can resize the visible columns in the tasks list in the Inbox views or other views. However, as soon as the user navigates out and returns to the view , the layout gets resset. All the column resizing is lost. This happens within the same session. Is this expected behaviour? Is there any way to alter this?
    Usually in ADF applications, hooking the application to MDS and enabling user customizations persists the column resizing across sessions. I am wondering why (if) this hasn't been done for the workspace.
    2) The priority field is editable by any user. Is there a way to lock this down based on roles? i.e. only certain roles may edit the priority.
    TIA,
    Bijesh

  • Quicktime file info missing in Finder column view???

    In the Finder column view my PowerMac G4 running OS X 10.3.9 shows all QuickTime audio and video file info along with the playable thumbnail video or music bar, including duration/running time and (for movies) dimension/aspect ratio in pixels.
    However, on my much newer iBook G4 from 2 years ago running OS X 10.4.10, those two helpful stats are missing. From what I've been told this helpful file date and aspect ratio data is indeed possible with 10.4 Tiger as it is in Panther but I can't see how to show them via either View preferences, QuickTime prefs, Apple's document files or even these message boards. If anyone could please help me I'd really appreciate it, thanks!!!

    Oh, sorry.
    No, I am running Quicktime 7.2 on both computers. I always install the latest updates when Software Update informs me of one and Quicktime doesn't use different versions for Panther & Tiger as far as I know.
    This has been this way for a long time and the only difference at any time in the past has been 10.3.x vs 10.4.x. I sort of accepted it was something not available in Tiger's Finder column view (since I don't remember doing anything specific in Panther to show that extra info) but then after someone pointed out to me that that should be something one can adjust (and after using common sense) I realized Tiger wouldn't disable or take away info provided in the earlier versions, in a sense downgrading something users may rely on.
    I don't think I asked: are you (or anyone reading this) showing the duration and dimensions of Quicktime audio and movie files in Finder column view under Tiger? ...or under Panther? Again, I'm referring to those that can be played directly in the preview in column view. Thanks.

  • Mavericks Will Not Retain Finder List-View Column Resizing

    I've noticed this to occur at the root level of my hard disk in Finder.  A visual will work best:
    The "User Guides and Information" folder is truncated at the root level of my Hard Disk.  I will then manually resize the column:
    When I close out this window via the red close circle, and re-open, Finder will not remember my custom column view.  It will revert back to the previously truncated state.
    Oddly enough, I've found Finder to correctly preserve custom list view columns when you drill down a level (such as my custom column views inside of my Applications folder, for example).

    I managed to find a solution that sorts the problem out for the time being till maybe Apple rectifies it.  It is to open Finder and have it expanded to fit the screen.  I don't know the proper names of things but in the heading that says Name etc, right click that so that you get a list of other things that can go in that heading, like Date Modified, Date Created etc.
    Tick one or two that you don't need, like Tags for example.  The purpose of those extra headings are to fill the column space at the right hand side of Finder so that it keeps the columns that you DO want on the left hand side kept in the same place.  Once you've got all the headings and columns, move the width of the ones you want to the size that you want, making sure that the ones that you don't want, like Tags, on the right hand side totally fills up the rest of the column space.
    This makes the full page Finder column space full up so that the columns you want don't end up shrinking every time you open Finder.  Return Finder to the size that you usually use, adjust the width of your wanted columns to the size that you want and it should stay in place because the rest of the space in Finder is filled with the unwanted columns you chose, but which are hidden from view on the far right hand side of Finder, if you've got Finder smaller than the full screen, that is.
    Ever since I did this with my columns (in List view) my columns remain where I have set them.  (I hope you understand all that OK).

  • Set field separator for whitespace

    Hi,
    We have a set of flat files (around 12000) and it need to be load using oracle external table. we have concatenated all the files into one single file and loading the files into oracle database successfully.
    But there is a problem, in the flat files we have identified that the field separator is "whitespace" and we gave whitespace as field separator in oracle external table statement. But there are some fields where there is null values for many rows and since the field separator is whitespace so the next field's value is being inserted into the null value field in place of null.
    I am stuck in a very hard situation and really do not know how to come out of it. I have little idea that using awk or sed utilities we can set field separator.
    Do you have any idea how to set the field separator in this case?
    Your assistance is highly appreciated.
    Below is the sample of one of those flat files:
    051 419040086626885 55407914 P 00016731 01007644 02 Internet 0160638830 11121906182700021 016 00204 I TEST MNC004.MCC419.GPRS 094.124.161.023 094.124.006.197 094.124.006.010 1275741768 99999
    Thanks in advance.

    Can you clarify some things about your data?
    1. The sample data you posted only shows 20 values but the table has 21 columns. Is the last value NULL?
    2. The sample data you posted shows 99999 for the last column but that corresponds to LAST_UPDATE_DATE which is a DATE field
    Why the descrepancy?
    3. Are the records delimited by CRLF or by LF? or by some other whitespace. CR and LF are considered whitespace
    >
    If TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE is specified, data is read until the first occurrence of a whitespace character (spaces, tabs, blanks, line feeds, form feeds, or carriage returns). Then the current position is advanced until no more adjacent whitespace characters are found. This allows field values to be delimited by varying amounts of whitespace. For more information about the syntax, see Syntax for Termination and Enclosure Specification.
    >
    so if the first record has one column with a missing (NULL) value the first column from record #2 will be used
    as the last column of record #1. The data in the entire file will continue to shift forward causing every record to be wrong.
    4. Have you contacted the vendor providing the files to find out how other clients are loading these files into a database?
    5. Are there any data columns that cannot be NULL?
    In order to properly parse record-oriented data you have to be able to locate the record boundaries; that is determine how many data values there are for each record. Using WHITESPACE alone you will not be able to do that if a NULL value is not represented in the file by some character.
    Then for each set of data belonging to one record you need to be able to identify the data that belongs to each column. Using WHITESPACE alone
    you will not be able to do that if a NULL value is not represented in the file by some character.
    You need to contact the vendor for assistance in having the files produced in a way that they can be properly loaded again. Ask the vendor if they can reload their own files and, if so, what utility they are using to do it. The vendor should be able to use a different delimiter or replace NULL values with a special character so that they are represented in the data.

  • JTable in JPanel last Column resize clips JTable doesnt repaint JPanel

    I have a JTable in a JPanel, when I drag the last column of the JTableHeader (u can see the column resizing as the text of the Table HeaderColumn moves with the drag) the JTable is outside the JPanel. Only when u click on another component and then click back on the JTableHeader does it repaint.
    I have tried jPanel.revalidate(); in the mouseDragged event of MouseMotionListener on the JTableHeader and all manner or repaints and fireTableStructureChanged. But I dont understand the order of events.
    The last bug to fix!!!
    NB I dont want to use scrollpane as its not necessary and as many tables are synchronized with one table it makes repaints less smooth
    Thanks Paul

    Well, I didn't find an answer but I did find a solution.
    The JPanel is the problem. I use it to help with layout which is not obvious in this example.
    As you can see in the code the JTable is placed in a JScrollPane which is place in a JPanel which is placed in a JTabbedPane.
    If I use Box instead of JPanel the JTable in the JScrollPane in the Box in the TabbedPane in the JFrame resizes correclty.
    So although JPanel is resizable with setSize it does not get resized when it's JFrame gets resized.
    I would still like to know why?
    ////////KBS
    JTabbedPane myTP = new JTabbedPane();
    Box myOne = Box.createHorizontalBox();
    Box myTwo = Box.createHorizontalBox();
    myOne.add(pane);
    myTP.add("One", myOne);
    myTP.add("Two", myTwo);

  • SLED field is missing in ECC 6.0

    Hello!!!
    we're upgrading from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
    I have a problem with SLED field in MIGO transaction in ECC 6.0
    For not batch-managed materials, the SLED check is activated.
    1)In Custimizing, the plant and movement type are actived.
    2) remining self life in Material master plant stock view -> 0 Days
    3)The PO -> 0 Days
    4) Info record -> 0 Days
    WHen we enter the MIGO transaction, in Material tab, the SLED field is missing, so we can't enter de SLED. If I maintain in PO or material, more than 0 Days, the field is open, but It doesn't work with 0 Days...
    In 4.6C version, the SLED filed is open, and It's OK.
    I don't find the solution...any idea???
    Thanks ins advance.
    Best regards
    María.

    Hello,
    thank you so much.
    I think that there is not soultion. SAP told me:
    Dear Maria ,
    You have set the Maximum period, Minimum remaining shelf life and
    Total shelf life as zero. I tested this on our internal test system
    and when these are all set to zero the fields PROD & SLED are not
    visisble in the Material tab in tcode MIGO.
    The shelf life is only checked when you enter a goods receipt if the
    following prerequisites are met :-
    1.The minimum remaining shelf life is maintained in the material master
    record or in the purchase order. The minimum remaining shelf life is theminimum number of days for which the material must keep for the goods
    receipt to be accepted by the system.
    2.The shelf life expiration date check is active for the plant and
    movement type in Customizing for Inventory Management.In the
    transaction SPRO,if you check in SAP Reference IMG
    Material Management > Inventory management and Physical Inventory
    > Goods Receipt > Set Expiration date Check,the SLExp/prDt field
    is checked for plant and material movement

  • How do I find out where iTunes thinks missing files are?

    I have several hundred "missing" files in my iTunes library but they are all actually on the computer. But I don't remember where the were previously. I add dozens of songs at a time to my library all the time and there is no Earthly way for me to constantly remember where they were before. I don't just want to reimport the files because I have several hundred playlists with these files and it would be completely stupid to edit them all one at a time when all I need to do is to move them back to where iTunes thinks they should be. So where is that? The Windows media player has a column that displays file location. Why doesn't iTunes? (This is so stupid. It makes things -not just this- so much easier when you have the file location in the music list in your music player.)
    Is there a way to find out where iTunes thinks the missing files should be at?

    Chris CA wrote:
    How do I find out where iTunes thinks missing files are?
    The exclamation mark means ITunes doesn't think they are anywhere.
    If you right click - get info on a song then view the Info tab, you will see where iTunes last used it from.
    I'm not a newbie. I know quite a lot about iTunes. You sound like you don't though because if you did you would know that this is not true. If you "right click - get info on a song" (pressing cancel to the Locate popup) "then view the SUMMARY (not info) tab" you will see "Not Available" where the file location usually is. I wouldn't have asked this question if I hadn't gone through the steps already.
    Thanks for trying though. Next time, please try the advice before you give it.
    I add dozens of songs at a time to my library all the time and there is no Earthly way for me to constantly remember where they were before
    You should not have to remember anything about where they were.
    I agree.
    Are you always moving them around?
    When I install a new hard drive. Yes. I generally keep everything organized and I let iTunes keep the folder organized but several years ago I used windows media player to organize my media.
    Frankly I don't know HOW the recent songs/videos/etc. go missing. But some do. Maybe I accidentally move a folder without realizing it. Mistakes happen. Then I need to move it back but since I didn't know I did it in the first place I can't possibly be expected to remember where I moved it from.
    Do you have iTunes prefs -> Advanced Keep ITunes music folder organized ticked and Copy files to iTunes ... ticked?
    *OF COURSE!* Again, I'm not a newbie.
    I have several hundred playlists with these files
    Why would you have several hundred playlists?
    I don't mean to sound rude but you sound like an Apple fanboy. Are you trying to tell me how I should use my own program? The answer to the question is I am a salsa instructor/DJ and I am constantly adding songs and videos to my library. Every month I have various salsa events, classes and performances that I do. I use my iPhone for the music. I need to maintain the playlists because students/teachers/studios/clubs/bars/churches/etc. call me back and want a repeat of the great salsa night I gave them a year ago. Naturally my playlists are highly organized into folders. So, I still have them and I need them.
    Apple has its own ideas about how people should use its stuff but everyone is unique and our needs therefore are unique too. Apple doesn't realize this and still wants us to do things "the Apple way" even though "the Apple way" only works well for people who want their hand held through everything. This is why I say you sound like a fanboy. You don't know my situation and question if I need hundreds of playlists. I do.
    I just need an answer to the question.
    Thank you for your reply though. It gave me hope, for a time.

  • Converting varchar to datetime where date field is missing

    Hello Sir,
    i have a column with varchar datatype values like '2013/12','2012/11' where date field is missing.  i want to convert it as datetime at runtime so that i can use datetime related function. Is it possible for ms sql server 2008?
    thanking you.

    >> I have a column with VARCHAR data type values like '2013/12', '2012/11' where DATE field is missing. I want to convert it as DATETIME2(0) at runtime so that I can use DATETIME2(0) related function. Is it possible for MS SQL Server 2008? <<
    The most important leg on a three-legged stool is the leg that is missing :)  A DATE is made up of three fields; YEAR, MONTH and DAY. You gave no business rule for picking the DAY field, so this makes no sense. 
    Since SQL is a database language, we prefer to do look ups and not calculations. They can be optimized while temporal math messes up optimization. A useful idiom is a report period calendar that everyone uses so there is no way to get disagreements in the DML.
    The report period table gives a name to a range of dates that is common to the entire enterprise. 
    CREATE TABLE Something_Report_Periods
    (something_report_name CHAR(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
      CHECK (something_report_name LIKE <pattern>),
     something_report_start_date DATE NOT NULL,
     something_report_end_date DATE NOT NULL,
     CONSTRAINT date_ordering
      CHECK (something_report_start_date <= something_report_end_date),
    etc);
    These report periods can overlap or have gaps. I like the MySQL convention of using double zeroes for months and years, That is 'yyyy-mm-00' for a month within a year and 'yyyy-00-00' for the whole year. The advantages are that it will sort with the ISO-8601
    data format required by Standard SQL and it is language independent. The pattern for validation is '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-00-00' and '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[01][0-9]-00' in the CHECK constraints.

  • Matrix column resizing

    Good Afternoon
    Experts:
    Another rough day here my buddy the Matrix.  I desire to not allow a column to be resized.   Is this possible?  I could not find a solution through my coding/testing.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Good Day
    Thanks for the relpies.  I have applied the concept from the link to resize the column width.  Double-clicking the column line in the heading of the Matrix is now not allowed...column resized back to desired width.  However, that line can still be clicked and pulled to the right to expose the hidden column.  Any idea how I might trap that event?  The et_CLIICK does not work.  Perhaps it is getting by the added code since I am clicking in the header of the Matrix and not a cell of the Matrix.
    What do you think?
    Thanks,
    EJD
