Folder opening

When I open a subfolder I don't want the parent to disappear. I want the window to stay open. SInce I installed Yosemite it won't do that and I don't see any preference I can set to change it, even though it didn't do that before.
How do I fix this?

Thanks, Jeff.
I was unaware of tis feature, but it is an awkward way to do what I want. When I open a folder in a tab it replaces what was int the tab before. I guess I work around it by putting the same folder in two tabs and then opening the subfolder in one of them, but that is of limited usefulness. I often want to open more than one subfolder in the same folder and have them open.
Surely there is some way to do this.

  • Finder folder opens up at startup how do i stop it?

    The MacOS folder is normally inside an Application Package. It looks like maybe you have an app set to open in your Login Items, but it isn't actually launching, just opening the enclosing folder. I can't tell what app that is.

  • When I try to open PDF, ALL PDFs in folder open - agggggrrrahh!

    Just installed Abode Acrobat 9 Pro today.
    When go into a folder on my pc and try to open a pdf, every single one of my other pdfs in the folder open too. One after the other (we're looking at about 78 pdfs so it crashes Abode!).
    I've tried opening the pdfs in different ways (double clicking on the icon, opening Adobe first and selecting the pdf I want to view through File and Open) - I've restarted my pc but it keeps happening.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks!

  • Weird folder opens when i open new project or import media?

    Is this what you are seeing, but with everything but the close button X inactive?
    Did you get there from File Menu/New/Project in the workspace shown?
    If so....
    What do you have as the Save In: location and how much free hard drive space is there at that location?
    Please delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    9.0
    and in the 9.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 9.0
    Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Make sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files,
    Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
    Also, determine if the problem exists with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Please review and consider. Looking forward to your follow up as your time permits.

  • Transmission-gtk: "Open Folder" opens Gwenview instead of... (Solved)

    This might be a silly question.
    I'm running KDEmod. I recently switched from vuze to transmission-gtk, and when I click on "Open Folder" in the context menu of a torrent, the folder opens in Gwenview instead of Dolphin. There's nothing in Preferences about pointing to a file manager, so I'm stumped.

    To answer your question, I get a "Launch Application" window allowing me to choose which application with which to open it, and giving me the option to have my choice be remembered by the system.
    However, your solution worked
    Now I just have to figure out how to get Firefox to handle file links properly without bringing up the annoying window--or decide whether or not to make the effort.
    EDIT: Scratch that . . . it just took some playing around in Preferences. Now, no more annoying dialogue box

  • Home folder opens on startup

    Hi guys. This is a problem I've seen in other posts but none of the sollutions worked for me, so here goes...
    When I boot my computer and login, the Home folder opens automatically and I don't know why. Surprisingly, this only happens after a fresh boot; if I log out and log back in, the Home folder does not open. This is quite annoying as I have to close the window everytime.
    Before you go and answer me, please know that:
    1. I am not leaving any Finder windows open when I log out or shutdown.
    2. I have checked the Login Items under Account settings and there's nothing that would suggest the Home folder is being loaded from there.
    3. I have deleted the com.apple.finder.plist to reset the Finder settings to no avail.
    I am wondering whether one of my preference panes or a background app is causing this. Here is my list of preference panes:
    -Flip4Mac WMV
    -iStat menus
    -Secrets
    -SizzlingKeys
    Here are the items in the Login Items list under Account settings:
    -iStat menus helper
    -iTunes helper
    -Google notifier
    -SizzlingKeys4iTunes
    Any idea how to fix this ?
    Thanks

    Hello alp:
    I doubt if Flip4Mac is doing anything. The other stuff you installed (I do not use any of that) might. You might try uninstalling all that third party stuff and see if that helps.

  • Dropping files to fullscreen apps through mission control results in app folder opening and in some sort of task switching madness

    In Snow Leopard I got used to attach documents in mails by dragging and dropping files from the desktop to the message window. To do so  I used active corners (spaces, exposé). Now, with Mission Control in Lion I've tried to keep that workflow but this leads me to an awkward problem. To reproduce it in my computer I do the following:
    Pick up a file from the desktop --> drag it to lower right corner (opens mission control) --> drag it to full screen mail space, press space to switch (applications folder opens inside mission control), and a lot of apps too (those the cursor hovered).
    At the same time, mail full screen window opens (as waiting time selected in finder preferences for triggering is short), then Lion turns crazy entering in some sort of spasmodic task switching mode, which lasts after I find some clear space to drag the file back in the desktop.
    Did any other user  experience something similar? Is there something I could do to help to fix the problem?
    Thanks for you answers.
    [Edit: Ok, so I started trying with other apps and it turns that every time I drag and drop any file to a fullscreen app in mission control and use the space key to open it, I get a similar behavior. I did it in Scrivener and it resulted in photoshop and itunes opening,  Scrivener vanished and but left an empty (like dashboard's) desktop.]

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    >>Running bootcamped Win7, yes power consumption is more, a lot more,....indications are no.
    Sorry, can you clarify on this one - do you mean the power consumption is more DURING the use of Windows, or ALL of the time (even when using the Mac as normal with OSX).... also what did you mean by indications?
    >>From the parameters of what you say your use would be, Id recommend the I5 with 8gig of ram. the 12 hour >>batt. life is only rated for the 13" on the I5, ....not the I7.   
    Sounds like my first guess was about right - and good point about the battery life - as that is something that's quite important to me!
    >>The "switch" is extremely easy. Ive seen grandmothers switch to a MAC and have its 'everyday use' >>conquered in under a week. So, you should have no worries, its extremely user friendly, no worries of virus, >>etc.
    Glad to hear I've done more research and already seen a few features I can see myself preferring a lot more to the Windows system!
    >>As a former computer repairman, Ive owned nearly 200 diff. laptops (many were free, or Franken-computers >>built from parts) and I can honestly say the Macbook AIR is the finest piece of beloved hardware Ive ever >>owned by a mile.
    >>Many people incorrectly see the THIN nature of the Air and incorrectly conjecture its "less than" a full laptop, >>but the contrary is the case.
    Nah, I don't associate size with performance - especially these days, everything is getting smaller. My concerns are really just about whether to upgrade for extra performance, and using the OS - once I have those nailed I am pretty cofident the hardware will perform well.
    >>Additionally the AIR is the only Mac that has 802AC wifi, new Haswell cool-running processor, and extremely >>long 12 Hr. batt life on the I5 13" configuration.
    Yeah that battery life is one of the big sellers
    Cheers for the tips,

  • When I login at startup a random folder opens

    Ok, this is weird. First of all this is my first Mac and I'm having a really difficult time figuring something out. Before I do a shutdown I will close every finder window and program. The next time I turn my computer on and login I will be greeted with a random open finder window. Sometimes it's my music folder, sometimes it's a random Library folder and sometimes it's work sensative docs. During shutdown/restart I uncheck the box that asks if I want the windows to resume when I turn it back on, but that doesnt really matter since I was never using those random finder windows to begin with. Am I just not understanding something? Why does it do this 9/10 times I start my computer?

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • Mac OS6: How to disable the "Folder opens when hovering a file" thing

  • Network folder opens/closes/disappears/reappears on its own (really)!

    I have an external drive hanging off my Airport Extreme and accessed wirelessly. I just created a new folder on the drive to save some files I want to share with another machine on my local network. I copied some files to it (which didn't appear in Finder, then did appear. Wierd I thought. Now I'm seeing the following behavior:
    - Open the network drive in Finder; Folder is at root level.
    - Every few seconds, the folder does the following;
    1 Folder Name switches from all upper (the way I created it) to lower case
    and back again.
    2 Folder disappears and reappears.
    - Goto 1
    - In addition, if I open the Folder (either with the turny triangle or by double clicking), the folder will open, display the contained files list, and then close itself and repeating the behavior above. I've never seen anything like this before. This Folder is the first I created on the network volume since "upgrading" to SL. All my software, system and otherwise, is up-to-date.
    I'm starting to wish I had followed my usual policy of not updating to a new version of anything until it had some shake-out time and a maintenance update.
    Any ideas?

    Oh, a directory. That would require a different approach, yes.
    If you want to make use of appserver's default file browser and the appserver's directory index setting is turned on, then just add the following to server.xml:
    <Context docBase="c:/path/to/folder/you/want/to/publish" path="/pathyouwanttouseascontextrooturl" />This way you can start with directory browsing by http://example.com/pathyouwanttouseascontextrooturl

  • Finder crashes when folder opens

    I have an external hard drive that i use to store files. The hard drive is formatted as FAT-32 in case that matters. Whenever I click on a certain folder, finder crashes and all the icons on my desktop disappear. They reappear a second later, but my finder window just reopens to right before i clicked the folder. even when i move the folder to my desktop, it still crashes. I can access everything in the folder through the terminal. This started about 2 months after i created the folder, I took a couple hours to move all the files in the folder to a new folder that i could open without a problem. 2 months after that, another folder started having the same problems. is there an easier way to fix this bc i have hundreds of files in the new folder that broke.

    No the movies are located on my internal hard drive.
    There is a firewire device connected but it is an audio output device (sound card)

  • Maintain Folder Opened

    Hello everyone,
    I have 3 applications in 3 different IViews, corresponding to 3 pages ("Program1" to "Program3").
    All pages are inserted in a folder "Applications". This folder is then linked to a Workset.
    My problem is that, when i open the portal, the folder "Applications" appears closed. I would like to show it immediatly opened. What setup do i have to change for this to happen ?
    --Applications
    Program1
    Program2
    Program3
    Thank you in advance to all,
    Nuno

    Thank you for your reply, Roy. Your solutions helps me if the folder is the first object on the list. But imagine that i have two iviews before, like this:
    ---IntroView
    ---ApplicationA
    Folder
    ---Application1
    ---Application2
    ---Application3
    In this case, the Iview you mentioned has IntroView as the default, and doesn't open the folder. Can i swith default to "folder" from this detailedNAvigationTree specifically to this Workset, without interfering with others ?
             Thank you

  • Last Folder Opened

    I have searched this board to no avail. I am using Illustrator CS4 on Snow Leopard.
    My issue is when I place and image (or open just open a file through Illustrator) the dialog box takes me back to the hard drives root folder.
    Obviously this is quite annoying when placing several images, or saving files. I am not sure if this is an OS issue, or Illustrator. I do not have this issue with InDesign, though.... Any pointer would be appreciated.

    It takes me to the last folder I used through the place or open dialog.
    I would therefore suggest doing this
    1. Quit Illustrator.
    2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS4 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
    3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

  • Containing Folder Opens When Dragging Photos?

    When I drag photos onto my desktop or into iMessage, a folder will open showing the contents of the folder the said photo is in. (Does that make sense?) Anyways, it's never done this before, and it's getting really annoying. Especially when I have to use multiple photos.
    Can anyone tell me why this is happening or how to turn it off? Thanks in advanced.

    We may have a terminology issue here
    The window on the left the the source pane - the source pane contains folder if they exist and albums and keepsakes (especial kinds of albums)
    Photos go into albums - albums may then be placed in folders - the photos for keepsakes are in albums - not in folders
    To add photos to a keepsake albums drag them from an event in the library on the right to the keepsake album on the left
