Finder window resets position to the left when dragging in a file.

I currently have the items in my folders displayed as 'columns'. When I open a new folder, the folders contents are displayed in the next column to the right. So after going a few folders in, the scroll bar on the bottom of the finder window is somewhat large. This is normal.
However the problem is, _*whenever I drag a document from my desktop into the most recently opened folder, finder resets the scrollbar to the position on the left side,*_ forcing me to drag the window over again every time. This it a rather large annoyance, since the way I work I pull and replace lots of files from the same series of folders.
Can anyone help me solving this problem?
Thanks

Firefox moves the page in the window a bit to the left when browsing pages which need vertical scrolling compered to pages which do not need scrolling. This is not the case with IE.

When i click on 'Show all in Finder' after searching for anything on spotlight, NOTHING happens! NO Finder window opens up and the spotlight dropdown menu just shuts! Please help!

I'm having the same problem in other places as well, for example when i downloaded Easyfind right now, clicking the small magnifying glass button on the right of the file name (shown below) would usually open up finder highlighting the file, but now nothing happens when i click on that button!
Is there a solution for this, as this was a very useful feature which i used ALL the time?

How do I get the "playlist" window to open on the left side of the Itunes library

When I first started using Itunes, the playlist window was located on the left side of the library window. Somehow it got moved to the right side and being a creature of habit, I'd like it back on the left side. I'd also like to know how to lock it so it won't move again. Thanks

Cntrl + S will enable the sidebar.

The finder window for an external USB hard disk suddenly started separating files by time (today, yesterday, etc.) and stopped allowing me to change column width, order, etc. Also the header bar shifted to flat white from gray.

The finder window for an external USB hard disk suddenly started separating files by time (today, yesterday, etc.) and stopped allowing me to change column width, order, etc. Also the header bar shifted to flat white from gray.
All was normal until the icon for the disk stopped showing up on the desktop when I would plug it in. I rebooted the computer, and the disk icon now shows up but this new look to the finder window started as a result. The hard disk does not have this problem when I use it on another Mac running Snow leopard. Also, two other external hard disks that I use on this computer running lion 7.4 still have the normal header bars with columns that can be reordered, etc.
I have tried looking in preferences and other places but have not seen this discussed.

Well duh - I finally figured out that somehow in the View options for the hard drive, the "arrange by" option had been changed to "by date" from "none". Not sure how that happened, I had never used the "view options" menu tem before. Changing "arrange by" back to "none" gets the gray column headers and the collapsible folder icons back.

Why do assets shift to the left when I delete something? For example if I have a whole series of text inserts in my movie and I delete one... assets to the left of the deleted text will shift. And the snap is NOT checked. It would be helpful if assets would stay in place and not shift to the left ... groan.
And thanks for the help previously given on another issue. I can't seem to find the origional post but did want to thank Steve for his help. Most appreciated.

Hold the Shift key down while you press delete.

At the moment when I create a file using Word it is apparently given the extension .docx but Word doesn't recognise its own files. How do I allocate the extension .docx to Word? There used to be a way of doing it, I think under "Preferences" but I can't seem to find it.

Can I find the date when I transferred some files to someone else's pc?

Hi, have a MacBook Pro but don't really know how to use it!
I need to find out the date when I transferred some files to someone else's computer. Is there an area with some sort of history of actions where I can see what I did?
thanks for any help
M

(Woggledog, I think the OP is trying to find out the date the files were copied from the Mac, not to the Mac.)
If you are trying to determine when you transferred the files +without access to the PC that they were transferred to+, you are out of luck, I'm afraid. There's no log for that information. If you can access the PC the files were transferred to, the created/accessed dates on the PC will reflect the move. But I suspect you can't access that computer, which is why you're seeking a log of some sort...
How did you move the files? If you used a flash drive, for example, and still have that, check there...even if the files were deleted from the drive, they may be recoverable.
Hope this helps...

Creating extensions Firefox 3.6.13: When dragging an XPI file (even pre-made), i'm always getting some error, which is not properly readable, but it says "not found" and an "ok" button.

Hi! I want to develop an extension for Firefox.
My problem is that none of the tutorials and sample which i find online work for Firefox 3.6.13 (on Mac).
When dragging an XPI file (even pre-made), i'm always getting some error, which is not properly readable, but it says "not found" and an "ok" button.
Please send me some info on how to make a "helloworld" extension installable in Firefox 3.6.13.
My email is [email protected] Thank you very much!

You can try to install the extension via File > Open File

Can the "ADD-A-NEW-TAB" button be reconfigured to be adjacent to existing tabs (like it used to be)? I am a left-handed tablet user who finds it's position on the far right side of screen very inconvenient.

In previous version of Firefox, the "add-a-new-tab" button has been located to the right of any existing tabs. In the latest version it's been moved to the far right of the screen. In tablet mode, this is too far to reach conveniently for a left-hander. I cannot find any controls to re-configure it to the way it used to be and I can't "drag" it to where I want it. Is there a way to relocate it?

Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.
