Finder Icon View Magnification Slider Gone?

Hoping that I just can't locate the setting to turn this feature on, and that Apple did not "improve" the finder by doing away with it in Lion.

In addition, and perhaps better, you can set the View Options under the View Menu (shortcut = Command + J) while focused on the Finder and the Folder/Directory that you what to adjust.
That brings up a contextual dialog like this:
Hope that helped!

  • Blank pages in LION upgrade. Firefox, finder ICON view etc.

    Installed Lion over Snow Leopard. Macbook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo, 4gb Ram.
    If I open Firefox 5 the page is blank (though the small preview shows the page ok)
    Finder in ICON view is blank, change to list view and it is OK. Back to ICON view and blank again.
    If I open the App store and view the Lion screen the description is OK but the details in the box are blank.
    It's almost as though it is flash being blocked or something.

    DisplayLink driver installed?
    Same issue here.
    At first I find out blank Finder icon view and blank Firefox, later I found that most of the apps have this issue, including Photoshop and even Preview.
    I am using a mid '09 MacBook Pro, and I have an external display attached via a USB cable, supported by a DisplayLink driver.
    I pull out the USB external monitor, uninstall the DisplayLink driver, and everything go fine now.

  • Photos (JPGs) won't display in Finder Icon view

    Ever since upgrading, many folders (including new ones that I create on my Desktop and elsewhere) have problems displaying JPGs that are added to the folder when using icon view (thumbnails). Basically, the window appears empty. If I change the view to list, column, or cover flow, then they appear fine. This has happened with about 80% of my folders.
    Anyone else have this issue? Any known fixes?
    It drives me crazy since I use the thumbnail (icon) view all of the time and never had problems with Mavericks.
    The only workaround (which works sometimes) is to copy all of the JPGs to another folder. This seems to regenerate the thumbnails for some reason. But later the same folder ceases to work again. So I'm not sure what is going on. Using a mid 2012 macbook pro retina, 2.7 i7 and 16GB of RAM.
    Apple needs to fix this if it is a widespread problem.

    Great suggestion! Unfortunately it didn't make any difference.
    However, I have more details on this bizarre issue:
    If I reboot the Mac (safe mode or regular mode), the icons do appear. But if I copy or move the files to a new folder, they are invisible again.
    Also, if I copy the folder full of JPGs into a new folder, then open the new folder, the subfolder is also hidden in icon view.
    If I choose Edit > Select All, the Finder window shows the correct quantity of files in the folder that are selected (even though they are all invisible).
    I've tried changing from discrete to integrated graphics, changing the display resolution, but so far nothing works (except the temporary fix of rebooting).

  • Navigating Finder Icon view problem!

    Okay, I have searched without success for an answer for this problem. When navigating through the directory structure in the icon view finder doesn't remember where you came from. Here is an example, say you have a folder that has a few hundred items in it (ex. itunes library folder). In icon view scroll about half way down and then double click on another folder. Okay all find and dandy but when you click on the back button you are back at the beginning of the previous directory and not half way down with the folder you were just in highlighted! Now go back to that same folder you were just in (without pressing forward) or the folder to the left of it, this time instead of clicking back you press "Apple+up arrow" then you go back and see where you came from with the folder highlighted. Makes for a frustrating time navigating through a large directory. Any way to fix this?

    Ok, I think i get what you are saying.
    Your using icon view? (view 1)
    Try Column view (command+3), I find the hierarchical view far more navigable in general, and very useful for large numbers of files/directories, It remembers where you came from, there are just a few inconsistencies like the home, desktop, apps, utilities directories (the ones accessible via key commands) that screw it up. Other than that it's perfect.
    If you don't like that view then you can always set the finder to open folders in new windows (and continue to use icon view)... If the majority of the time you don't want to have finder open folders in new windows, then leave it off and hold command (Apple) when you double click a folder to open it in a new window on that occasion.
    Hope that helps your navigation problems.

  • Poster frame error in finder icon view

    I've been setting poster frames with control click. While iTunes usually shows the frame I choose, the finder, when in icon view, doesn't. It often picks something close (usually earlier). I usually have to search around to get it to set to the one I choose. For example (not real values here, just to illustrate): I choose the frame at 19:13, but the finder shows 19:02. Then I continue to choose: 19:15, 19:17, 19:21. Each time iTunes is correct (though I have to sometimes change views), but the finder won't change, until I hit on the one that is close to what it likes. Even then, it's often a little wrong, usually a few seconds before. I don't know anything about keyframes, but would that be what it's using?

    I think I've narrowed it down: When I scroll in iTunes it jumps to "hint" frames. Those are the frames it's accepting in the finder.

  • Finder Icon View Isn't Remembered

    This is frustrating me a lot. I like using icon view in Finder, but now it never remembers it and keeps going back to column view. The column view as deafult button in finder prefs is not checked, I tried erasing the .plist file for finder prefs, and it's still always using column view. Please help me. Thank you.

  • How do I show file size in the Finder icon view for images?

    How can I add the file size to the icon view "File Info" for images?
    I know how to get it to display the image size under View Options. In this mode it shows pixel dimensions for some images (not for svg or pdfs tho) and file size for some non-images (rar, zip, but not txt or plain text files).
    Is there some plist I can modify?

    Just found the answer in a post with this subject:

  • Finder, Icon Slider bottom doesn't resize

    hi, i have a small bug with my icon slider of Finder. it doesn't resize with the small slider at right bottom of a Finder window.
    as you can see: the icons in the Finder window are very small (set by the slider right), but the slider left is set to the biggest icon size.
    but
    if i go to a higher Finder level, change there the size of the icons (possible), return to the old Finder window (picture above), then:
    the functionaltiy is actually, that the sliderposition left and right is synchronous.
    that well running disappearing after couple of clicks or minutes.

    I have the same issue. If I switch from a non-icon view to the icon view, the slider doesn't work. However, if I select icon view for a folder, then close the folder and re-open again, the slider works. I think the invisible database file for the folder display isn't getting updated correctly / at the right time.
    Permission repair doesn't help, so I suspect a minor Finder bug. Hopefully 10.7.2 will fix.

  • Why is there no functionality for multiple select of continuous icons in icon view?

    I have just switched to my first mac.  I admit I am experiencing growing pains switching over from a PC.  I am already overcoming many of these, but I have one issue in particular that for the life of me, I don't know why apple engineers left out.
    Why is it that I can select continuous multiple items by clicking "shift + first icon" and "shift + last icon" in the finder in list, column, and cover flow views, but NOT in the icon view?
    I realize a work-around for this would be to use a selection box and then to de-select the images I don't want.  This is the best option I have at this point, but honestly, I am extremely dissapointed that I have to even have a "work-around."  Simply put, this should not be an issue.
    I prefer icon view when superficially browsing my photos because I can see all my photos at the same time and change the thumbnail size.  There is no view besides icon view that has easy access to changing thumbnail size.  Therefore, there is no view at all that offers the functionality of changing thumbnail size AND selecting multiple items.  This functionality is standard in PC operating systems for icon view.  The multiple select in combination with changing thubmnail size is also extremely useful for me when transferring select files to external devices.  For example...I may be giving files to a family member on their jump drive.  As a teacher, I am often exchanging jump drives with other teachers for class photos, documents, etc., and being able to visually spot the items I want and to use continuous select is sometimes the easiest way to search within a folder.
    I called in to apple technical support and most of the people I spoke with were surprised to see that this functionality had been "left out" of the icon view in the finder.
    If the multiple select functionality cannot be added to icon view, it would be nice if the slider for changing thumbnail size was available in list or column view.  That way, I could at least have multiple select functionality in conjuction with the option of enlarging items.
    Please participate in this thread if you want this functionality added to the finder icon view!

    I don't think that Apple thinks that's a workaround.  It is the way one goes about selecting multiple icons.
    It's a Mac/Windows difference that can be frustrating to new comers to the Mac.  I can promise you that, with time, you'll get used to it!
    Still, as macjack suggests, let Apple know what you think.
    Matt
    It may be a Mac/Windows difference, but Apple are not being consistent with their UI because in both Aperture and iPhoto you can do Shift-click to select multiple items in thumbnail view which, apart from the name, is the same interface type as icon view in Finder.
    Like the OP, I find this frustrating, not because I use Windows as well (at work) but because of the above and because it just seems illogical not to be able to do this when you can in all the other views in Finder. Oh, and Linux allows Shift-click multiple select too.

    Your steps so far are OK but you may want to try:
    1 Trash your user library Caches folder (House Icon with short name in Finder window (hard drive window)GOTO:House icon > Library folder > caches folder
    2 Trash the com.apple.Safari.plist file in User library > preferences folder > Safari.plist as well as removing the library Safari folder its self.
    3 you can selectivly re-install Safari 2.0 from your OS Tiger Install disk 1, (see Knowledge base article 301229 for how to just select the Safari Application) without doing a complete system Archive and Install.
    4. Create a new Test user account on the system and test how Safari responds in the Test user, see if its a user related issue and not system issue.
    5. Still no Safari response? have to do an Archive and install (not preserving user and network settings)article 107120
    PS. Issue may be related to actual internet connection connectivity, power cycle cable modem and router or airport if using one as well as the computer(keep unplugged for 3-5 min) and plug the cable modem in and then the router/airport then power on the computer. Do the Airport Admin utiliy (applications, utilities on HD_1)update.
    - do a hard reset of airport knowledge base article 108044(Express base) and 107451 (Extreme base)
    - Check with internet provider for connection issues "cannot find server" ect.

  • Finder slow to show items in column, icon views (OK in list, cover flow)

    I'm seeing new perplexing slow behavior on our three-month old iMac running 10.5.5: when in column view and selecting (or in icon view and double-clicking) a folder, there is an initial five-second lag before items will appear in the next column or window; meanwhile, the bottom of the window will only show the space available until items appear and only then will it list the number of items along with space available. It's enough to make you wonder if there actually is anything in the folder while you wait. I say "initial" lag because on subsequent selection, the listing is instantaneous. However, if you log out and in again, it's back to the delay while waiting for initial listings. None of this behavior happens in list or cover flow views, but column view is my routine, so I'd like to make it snappier.
    I've gone through some basic troubleshooting steps (repairing permissions, checking Console and Activity Monitor) to no avail. I haven't run into this behavior on my 2-yr. old MBP, so I'm not sure what to look for. Any thoughts?

    Get a utility such as TinkerTool System, Onyx, etc. that has a feature to remove all .DS_Store files. If they get corrupted this could cause the problem you describe. I would also consider disabling the View preference to Show Icon Preview. Use the Show View Options in the Finder's View menu. With Leopard you may need to do this for each new Finder window you open (press COMMAND-J to open the preference dialog for the active window.) Do the same for the Desktop. Show Icon Preview can slow down the content display in the Finder initially. Once the information is cached it displays much quicker. Hence the observation that you described.
    It also may not hurt to delete the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist file in case there's problem with it. Then relaunch the Finder - open the task manager (COMMAND-OPTION-ESC,) select the Finder task and click on the Relaunch button.

  • Slider for scaling finder icons doesn't work if...

    I enabled the statusbar in the Finder window which enables the slider to scale the icons. But it doesn't work if I switch from the column view to the icon view. But the slider works if I switch from the list view or the cover flow.
    You will find a screenvideo at http://www.arangoo.com/slider.mp4.
    Thanks.

    Wow, I was having the same problem and never noticed that if you switch from list or cover flow it works! Still annoying but at least it's a quick work around. I hope Apple notices this and gets a fix going.
