Folder mis sorted by size

I have a folder on my desktop.. I copied many items from my applications folder there (only the things I have downloaded) I am burning the extra apps to CD, ones I don't use.
Moved apps to folder
duplicated folder
Put duplicate back into apps folder
Made archives of each item
Sorted by size
--- Things are not properly sorted??
top few things in order 388kb, 120kb, 16.2mb, 4kb, 96kb, 12kb
The folder is sorted by size with the triangle next to "Size" pointing downward.
What's up?

Hi Ronald,

I was copying files to my time capsule when it crashed when it was almost finished. Now I am stuck with a light grey folder I can not delete. I would´t care if it wasn´t for the fact the folder is 1 TB size and takes up too much space. I have tried turning on and of Hiding Files in Finder and what not with no success. So, how do I delete this folder. Remember, I am not extremely familiar with technical terms.

I recommend you erase the TC.. it is the easiest and fastest solution.
In Airport utility open the disk tab and select erase.. choose quick erase.. it will take less than 1min.
Start again but copy files in small amounts.

Elements 10 / Folder Mode sorts files in "file name" order; is there a way to do this in Elements 11

No not automatically.
You can p-lace them into an album and then choose Album Order from the dropdown menu and they will remain fixed.

IPhoto library too big -- how do I sort video, size to remove/archive?

Okay folks. So my iphoto library has gotten so big, I can't even install updates on my MacBook. Normally with any files on my computer, I can sort by size...see who's hogging up space and what I don't need. Not only can I not sort by size, I really have no way of managing these files in finder.
Advice?
Saw previous posts about "no sort by size". Someone even said "iPhoto is a photo manager, not a file manager" -- cute, but at some point the space runs out.

I really have no way of managing these files in finder.
It is strongly recommended that you do not use the finder to delete, move or otherwise modify any files within the iPhoto library - doing so risks corrupting your library and losing data
If you want to delete anything in the iPhoto library you must us the iPhoto program to do it
To identify your movies you can make a smart album for all items with the keyword = movie - selecting one and looking in the information window at the lower left hand corner will show you its size

Sorting by size in lightroom

From Lightroom's first beta version I have been disappointed that there is no way to sort in the library module by image file size. Sorting by size is so common in computer programs. The mac operating system windows have had this option as far back as I can remember. I really miss it in organizing my files in Lightroom. I am presently using Lightroom 2.1.
Please add this to the next update.
Thanks.

I strongly support Simon Tindemans request
Simon Tindemans, "Allow import of and basic operations on non-image files (AVI, etc)" #15, 29 Jan 2009 11:41 pm (and I am sure from the others too, expressed or just wished for) that unsupported files should appear in the Grid mode with some kind of generic icon, and clicking on it would trigger the editing in the appropriate program (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) or allow copying them to some other location. Among 200,000-plus photos, still waiting in my server to be imported into LR and join those 100,000 already there - the legacy of my 7 years of the digital photography, there are the thousands of CMYK and PSD files, and digging them out by reading the printed list and then typing one by one the file names into the search field of browser's find feature, instead of just selecting the whole lot in the Grid module and opening them in the Photoshop with one click is, well, a stone-age method?
I also strongly support the James Klebau's request for file size sorting (and I add filtering too). Just as Mikael Albrecht, who explains the reasons for this to Wolf Eilers, the latter somehow not recognizing the need for this feature, and many others, I too have imported the thousands of jpg and tiff photos from the pre-LR and pre-RAW shooting era, all of them in the various sizes, from 600x400 pixels to 20x16" exhibition photos, besides the several hundreds of web albums' thumbnails which have crept in by mistake. To find them among the100,000-plus photos in the catalog is darn hard - I believe everyone will agree on this. Every other program, browser or DMA, has it and I was really surprised and disappointed when I realized that LR lacks this so common feature.
Finally I would like to see very much the additional Find and Replace option in the batch file (re)naming Editor. I have my own file naming system which besides the 4-digit file number suffix (usually the original one, sometimes created by sequence) incorporates also the 5-char theme and year prefix code, the location, and the 3-char code of the image type/purpose of the edited image (Exhibition, B&W, press, web...)
I often need to rename the batch of the photos, sometimes because I've goofed and exported the whole series of the photos, forgetting to change the previous file naming settings, but more often as at some latter time and for the various reasons I need to change the part of the file name - some code or the location - in the series of the photos.
When renaming the single file it would be also very helpful if the input field with the original file name would appear in the pop-up window besides the previous renaming setting, so one could simply (re)type in the needed change. In the Filename Template Editor, the only option where the file renaming can be carried out, the original name doesn't appear and the whole file name must be typed in - very cumbersome, time consuming, and error-prone. Perhaps this single file renaming option could appear in the context pop-up menu by right clicking on the image in question, upon which the input window would appear with the original file name already in the input window. Without doubt this would greatly expedite the single file renaming.

Data retrieval buffers - buffer size and sort buffer size

Any difference to tune BSO and ASO on data retrieval buffers?
From Oracle documentation, the buffer size setting is per database per Essbase user i.e. more physical memory will be used if there are lots of concurrent data access from users.
However even for 100 concurrent users, default buffer size of 10KB (BSO) or 20KB (ASO) seems very small compare to other cache setting (total buffer cache is 100*20 = 2MB). Should we increase the value to 1000KB to improve the data retrieval performance by users? The improvement impact is the same for online application e.g. Hyperion Planning and reporting application e.g. Financial Reporting?
Assume 3 Essbase plan types with 100 concurrent access:
PLAN1 - 1000KB * 100 = 100MB 1000KB * 100 = 100MB (total sort buffer size)
PLAN2 - 1000KB * 100 = 100MB 1000KB * 100 = 100MB (total sort buffer size)
PLAN3 - 1000KB * 100 = 100MB 1000KB * 100 = 100MB (total sort buffer size)
Total physical memory required is 600MB.
Thanks in advance!

256 samples Buffer size will always give you a noticable amount of latency. If you use Software Monitoring you should try setting your Buffer to 64 samples. With the recording delay slider in the preferences->Audio you can compensate for the latency (of course not in realtime) so that the Audio will be placed exactly there, where it should hae been recorded at. In your case set it to a -value. A loopback test (check the link below) will clarify the exact amount of Latency occuring on your system.

Hi I currently have about 20,000 photos in I photo, which the 'info' displays as being 68GB's worth. However the I Photo Library with the Pictures Folder displays it's size as 341.21GB ... Why would that be? How do I look at what's in the I Photo Library?

Hi I currently have about 20,000 photos in I photo, which 'info' displays as being 68GB's worth. However the I Photo Library within the Pictures Folder displays it's size as 341.21GB ...

Best to keep the terms clear.
You export photos from iPhoto.
You move the iPhoto Library to an external disk.
They're are quite different processes. Exporting means at the end you have a file outside iPhoto. Moving means the files are still inside iPhoto.
So if you say:
I'm currently exporting the library to an external drive
That reads like I''ve selected all the photos in iPhoto and am exporting them to a folder on this external drive, and at the end I'll have a folder full of photos outside iPhoto. Is that what you mean?
Is it best to have a 'master' I photo library on an external drive for all the thousands of pics Im never really going to look at often - and a smaller one kept on the HD for day to day usage ...
Best? Hard to know. It might make sense on a portable. But if you're on an iMac why do you need a smaller one on the internal? Why not just have the whole library on the external? There is no performace hit.

Sort Index Size failed in file

Hi Experts,
Do you have any idea why we get this error in MDS log file? I am sure you must have come across it, what could be a fix for it?
We have observed Log info "Sort Index Size failed in file" logged into MDS Log file while doing following:
It happens during following processes:

As the Log Info name indicates "Sort Index Size failed in file", we are wondering is there anything to do with the -Size of Index File. Is there any parameter in DB side or in MDS which controls logging file size. May be that file size is not allowing Index sorting to be written into that file and file gets overflown due to less file size and MDS Logs this "Log Info". And since Indexing is not completed and not written into Index file, eventually the search made thru Advance Search gets weird and start throwing null pinter exception in browser because Index is not present for some searches.
This error seems like some unhandled exception code in program- Update.cpp at line 1097.
I would appreciate if you can throw some light on this and how to avoid this?

Hi Jignesh and Ravi,
There is no Repo schema change and we made sure that we create new slave after any Repo schema change. I dont think there is an issue with master-slave, but issue probably lies some where else.
In fact my original question is scrambled. Let me mention it again clearly. Its not alone master-slave sync we get this log info-" Sort Index Size failed in file". Actually we get it during following 3 operations:
a) On Master Slave Sync between Master and Slave Repo->> MDSAdminServer@GetAndApplyMasterChangeRep
b) OnRemove Records from Data Manager in master->> CatMgr@RemoveRecords336
c) On Updating Records in Data Manager->> CatMgr@ModifyRecords326
Is there anything to do with the -Size of Index File. Is there any parameter in DB side or in MDS which controls logging file size. This error seems like some unhandled exception code in program- Update.cpp at line 1097.

OEM 10g - reorganize tablespace error on invalid sort area size

Hi all,
When I try to reorganize a tablespace with OEM 10g, I get an error in the 3rd step (options) saying :
Invalid value for sort area size. The minimum value is 96 KB. My SGA management is set to AUTO.
Why this error on sort size area ?
Thanks for your help.

Found a workaround. ( Not a real answer to the "why" )
My settings were : pga_aggregate_target : 400 MB
work_area_policy : AUTO
Following the documentation the sort_area_size should then default to 20% of SGA ( which is 1200MB ), and should thus be 240 MB, largely sufficient I would think ...
I now changed the work_area_policy to MANUAL, and the sort_area_size to 100MB, and then it works fine.
If anyone would have an explanation for this, it is still most welcome !

Hello,
Both the pga and sort area size are set in the parameter file. Is this an issue? Are there conflicts? Can both be set and only pga will take effect? Db is 10.1.0.5.

How to create a folder of a certian size

hi all
I have a 140 gig hard drive. While trying to install Sun Studio I receive this message.
There is not enough free disk space to extract installation data
806 MB of free disk space is required in a temporary folder.
Clean up the disk space and run installer again. You can specify a temporary folder with sufficient disk space using --tempdir installer argument.
the install file is in documents. How due you create a temp folder with 1 or 2 gig for this purpose with zfs file system.
Thank you Kevin

Library Folder Panel Sorting Question

Can the folder sort criteria be changed in the library module folders panel (Win LR V 2.2)?
I have looked in the help and either I overlooked the instructions or they are not there. I did find out how to change the contents of the folder display but not the sorting of the display.
My problem is that I use a folder hierarchy of c:\yyyy\mm\dd-subject and the folder display only sorts on the lowest folder in the hierarchy. Therefore, if I have two (or more) folder sets ending with 05-james they display one under the other even though the full folder path may be c:\2005\03\05-james and c:\2008\11\05-james. I would like the sorting to be on the entire path as is done in Photoshop Elements folder view.
Thanks for any insights or help.
Cliff

I would agree with Lee Jay; if you have a parent folder, then everything in the folder hierarchy displays correctly, in numerical order (using your setting of c:\yyyy\). And it displays sub-folders in numerical/alphabetic order too.
So if you right-click on your current folders and pick "Add Parent Folder" it should work. In your example, it will create a parent with just the drive letter C: and all your sub-folders should now be listed in correct order. If that does not work, just highlight the newly-created top-level folder, right-click and pick "Remove" and in the pop-up window click the "Promote sub-folders" button; that will get you back to where you were.
Another option is to do it in Windows. Create a folder called, for example, Photos on your drive. Move all your photo folders into that folder. When you start Lightroom, all folders will be shown as missing, but the job of finding them is simple; a right-click on the missing folder and picking the pop-up menu item with words similar to "locate missing folder" will find your "missing" folders.

Sum of file sizes; based on file extension, sorted by size

Hello,
Here is what I need, hope someone can help me:
I want to get a sum of all file sizes in a current directory, based on the file extensions, e.g.
250K *.txt
800K *.php
2M *.jpg
10M *.mp4
I was trying something with "du -sch" and "type -f" but couldn't get a good result...
Thanks!

Still not quite there, but here is what I came up with using bits from here and there:
#!/bin/bash
ftypes=$(find . -type f | grep -E ".*\.[a-zA-Z0-9]*$" | sed -e 's/.*$\.[a-zA-Z0-9]*$$/\1/' | sort | uniq)
for ft in $ftypes
do
echo -n "$ft "
find . -name "*${ft}" -exec du -shc {} + | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}'
done
The output is:
.abc 3M
.bgh 150K
.cig 100M
.de 80K
but I can't the output as it as described in OP...

Sorting by Size/Resolution?

Has anyone found out how to sort photos by size or resolution?
I'm looking to be able to quickly determine what pictures I can print in large format at home.
I don't want to have to manually key word tem for each size, Is there another way?
