Folder Viewing in Mavericks

   I recently downloaded the new OS X Mavericks software on my Mac desktop, and I immediately noticed that when I open my folders, they now appear in somewhat of a list form instead of in the old software when it used to open to the files (such as word docs) and have little pictures of pieces or paper/folders/images lined up and you would click on the icon to open the file. Is there any way I can revert this back to the old folder viewing option or am I stuck with this list form? Any help gladly appreciated

  • One Solution: Offload Home Folder Items with Mavericks on SSD

    One Solution for offloading home folder items in Mavericks with a small SSD
    Like others I wanted to use my SSD as the boot disk because of the speed gain and at the same time knew that its 120 GB capacity would not accommodate my basic 10.9.1 installation AND my 93 GB folder of documents.
    Two other factors lead me to seek a solution: 1) When I updated from Mountain Lion to Mavericks my computer became extremely sluggish. 2) I was desperate to find a way to access the hundreds of documents and drawings that I had made in AppleWorks over a period of many years, all of which could not be opened in Mavericks (or Lion or Mountain Lion).
    Solution to the second problem was LibreOffice to be found at libreoffice.org. This opensource application is one of the greatest finds in my 30 years of using a Macintosh. So far, I have been able to open every AppleWorks document tried. How it is that Apple with its billions in the bank cannot offer such an application with similar features is beyond my understanding. Don’t forget to support them with a donation.
    Solution to problem number one was to back up my one-volume, 1 TB internal hard disk and to erase and reformat the disk using three partitions (volumes). On partition one I installed 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard), on partition two I installed 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion) and I left partition three blank for any future experiment that might be needed. Although I much prefer to have a single internal hard disk matched by a single external hard disk, I finally concluded that this would be best for now. While I plan to learn LibreOffice, I have thousands of hours working with AppleWorks and can, if necessary, create a drawing in that application without spending a lot of time learning a new feature. Also, keep in mind that a person may resize the volumes on a single disk by using Disk Utility.
    Redirecting the user folder is not as easy in Mavericks as it was in Mountain Lion and I did not trust myself to use the Terminal. So I experimented and quickly discovered what appears to be a work-around.
    First of all, keep in mind that your home folder contains seven folders, i.e, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures and Public. For myself, the Desktop and Public folders are never a problem. In using xScan I can instantly view the usage of all my disks and volumes and do not allow Downloads to accumulate. Movies I save to a designated external disk. All my music is accessed by iTunes and I believe that you may move the iTunes library to another volume, then link to it as I will explain in a moment regarding the Document folder. All pictures are maintained in iPhoto and you may link to the appropriate folder and/or file in the same way as iTunes. That leaves me with my 93 GB folder of documents.
    I solved this problem simply by opening (⌘-O) a window for both the 10.8.5 volume and the SSD disk. See below:
    I then located and clicked on my Documents folder in the 10.8.5 volume and dragged it to the Sidebar of the SSD window. Now when I create a document and want to save it to my Documents Folder, I simply locate the Documents Folder on my 10.8.5 volume in the Save As window. When I wish to work on that particular document again in the future I can do so in one of several ways: 1) If the application is open I can to to File → Open Recent, or I can simply click on the Documents icon in the sidebar of the SSD and I have the view set so that I can quickly view those documents opened by Today, Yesterday, Previous 7 Days, Previous 30 days, etc.
    Folders within the Documents Folder, such as Correspondence, can be dragged to the SSD Sidebar in the same manner.
    Keep in mind that the side bar for the SSD drive with Mavericks will display a Documents icon that look like two sheets of paper rather than a folder. If having two documents icons confuses you, simply remove the Mavericks Document icon.
    Caution: After arranging the above, do NOT eject the volume containing your Documents Folder because that will break your link and you will have to repeat the procedure. If having numerous icons on your desktop bothers you, simply click on the Desktop and go to the Finder Menu and uncheck External disks.
    Erasing a disk and arranging a computer as I did requires a lot of time. Also, keep in mind that I did NOT transfer any preference files because I feared that my problems may have been caused by one or more corrupted preference files. So, remember to have a printout of your passwords and the serial numbers before starting. I can only say that I went from a very slow computer to a lightning fast computer.
    Admittedly, I may encounter some problem(s) that I have not yet encountered — and I would appreciate any feedback — but so far everything is working like a champ!
    I will state that this will probably be the last update that I make on this 27-inch, Mid 2010 iMac. While updates have always proved to have problems, I am not happy with the new Mavericks interface. In my opinion, Apple made a big mistake in firing Scott Forstall. And as you know, a FREE OS may — and did for me — require costly updates.
    Any feedback to my suggested solution will be appreciated.

  • Link to A folder View in a PDF Portfolio - feature no longer working - please advise

    Hi, I am no longer able to link to a Folder View of a PDF Portfolio:
    Within a PDF portfolio i need to link from a PDF to a folder view in the Portfolio. I am using Link Action - Go to Page View.
    This used to work for me - very important feature that no longer works. Please advise a workaround.
    Steps:
    1. Start a PDF Portfolio that contains files and folders
    2. Open a PDF in the Portfolio
    3. in the opened PDF click Add or Edit Link
    4. Define a link area and set it to Go To A Page Vies
    5. In the past i have been able to target a Folder View in the Portfolio - ie. direct a user not to a file, but instead to a folder view that contains relevant files. I would do this by setting the Target Page View to my desired folder view
    6. This used to work in bringing a user to the folder view i specify. Now it does nothing. If i go back to the PDF and EDIT the Link i see this. File: Parent Document Page 1. This in fact does nothing.
    Please advise, am i doing this wrong, it used to work. I have tried several workarounds, with no luck.
    thanks!

    There's an extension or two, or a combination of extensions which seem to be causing that in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.

  • PI 7.11 sp6 Integration Builder - folder view error

    Experts,
    We recently installed SAP NW PI 7.11 (ehp1) up to sp6.  This is a new install.  We did all the wizards, etc and things are basically ok.
    we execute SXMB_IFR, then go to "integration builder" link and login.
    If I change the view from "object view" (icon of 2 people) to "folder view" (icon of folder), we get the following error:
    class com.sap.guid.GUID:library:core_lib at com.sap.engine.boot.loader.ResourceMultiParentClassLoader at 2353f67e at alive incompatible with interface com.sap.aii.ib.bom.gen.XiReference:sap.com/com.sap.xi.directory at com.sap.engine.boot.loader.ResourceMultiParentClassLoader at 79c008cf @ alive
    I found this note, but it does not quite describe my problem:

    I searched all through SDN and OSS, nothing yet.  I'm going to put in a message but I was wondering if anyone out there has seen this?
    Thanks!

    experts,
    FYI, ready my problem details but I wanted to add one thing.  Apparently were were at sp5 for a brief time and our developer did create some object while at that level.  He reported the issue since we moved to SP6

  • Albums and tags in folder view PSE9

    I have just converted from v6 to v9. In v9. I have a pictures folder with dated subfolders. In v9, using albums to search or tags, I cannot search the whole pictures folder ie all the subfolders. It will only search within the folder I am viewing. The means I have effectively lost the ability to search. It worked in v6 ok. I can search using albums/tags only when I am in thumbnail view. I have checked all the varioous options and views and cannot work out if something is wrong or a different functionality. In v6 when in folder view I click on "My pictures" all the photes can be viewed and I can scroll through all the sub folders using the slider down the rightr side. In v9 when I do this nothing is displayed and I have to click on a specific folder to view photos but only those in the subfolder. Any ideas how to solve this issue?
    Neil

    I agree.  This upgrade has lost important features and is extremely slow.  If I had only known, I defintely would not have upgraded.
    Hopefully, the folks from Adobe are following this and will issue a patch to make the organizer usable.  I'm about to just switch to Picasa for the organizer features.

  • Duplicate folders NAME~1 appear in PSE9 Elements 9 Orgainser folder view

    I am running Photoshop Elements 9 (PSE9) in windows7 and I am having a problem of apparently empty duplicate folders in Organiser's folder view (thumbnails on the right, Windows Explorer type folder list on the left).
    A new apparently empty folder structure has appeared on in the folder view, identical to my main set of photo folders but containing no thumbnails and with a truncated folder name, eg DigitalPhotos becomes Digita~1 and FamilyandFriends becomes Family~1.  If I delete any of the apparently empty subfolders in the duplicate folders, it deletes all the real jpgs from the hard drive and they show up as a missing file when I click on the proper thumbnail in the proper folder. It would appear to me that the catalog is referring to the same underlying file at two points for my whole catalog.
    As the folders are apparently empty there is no ability to use the delete file option and uncheck delete file to delete only from the catalog
    I have tried..
    - catalog optimise
    - catalog repair anyway (no faults found)
    - catalog repair rebuild visual similarity index
    - deleting the thumbnail file from ProgramData\Adobe\etc. then rebuilding all thumbnails (took hours) - I thought this had solved the problem when I checked very late last night but it wasb back when I turned on the computer this morning.  I am now questioning whether in fact this solved the problem or if this was my imagination/ lack of sleep
    They clearly shouldn't be there and I am concerned that double-links to the same underlying file will cause me corruption-related trouble.
    Any ideas?  I am really concerned the whole thing is going to crash on me and erase endless hours of work.
    Thanks

  • Single click folder name to expand folder in folder view?

    As with prior versions, in [Windows] Explorer's main window, you can enable hovering to select and single clicking to expand the folder (but that is a pain in the rear when working with files). Windows XP folder view nicely allowed single clicking the folder name to expand the folder. Was that removed from Windows 7? Looks like the only way to expand a folder in folder view is to either click on the small plus sign or to double click on the folder name.  Or is there a switch somewhere I am missing? Thanks.

    "...Things are worse than that now... When you single click on a folder name in the folder list, the folder contents show in the right hand file window, as usual. But, when you use an arrow key to move to a folder name in the folder list, the folder
    contents no longer show in the right hand file window...."
    The option  seems to be disabled. It is in Explorer>tools>folder options>navigation pane>"automatically expand to current folder" (win7 v6.1
    Excluding this extremely useful feature really cripples Win7Explorer. I was spoiled by w9x and XP explorers. I am new to MS forums. Is there a moderated microsoft forum where this question can be posted, in the hope that a patch is produced?

  • List subfolders in parent folder view

    Hi all,
    in a XY workspace i have simple folder hierarchy created in Teaming 2.1: 3 subfolders (SF1, SF2, SF3) are in parent folder (PF). When i click on PF in navigation bar, content of PF folder is displayed. Problem is, there are just File entries displayed but not subfolder displayed. I could enter subfolders only by clicking on + sign in navigation tab. Is there any possibility to modify folder view to display subfolders together with file entries?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Folder view in iTunes

    Is there a way to browse my music files in a folder view rather than one huge list?
    I just added about 4000 .mp3 files to my library (first time using iTunes) and the only way I know of to add songs to my iPod is to scroll through this huge list where half the files are named "Track 01". I've already got all these files nicely sorted on my hard drive.
    I'm using the ipod shuffle. Is there a way to simply drag and drop files from my hard drive onto the ipod without using iTunes? That would be my preferred solution.
    Thank you.

    Somewhat of a workaround. I can create a new playlist in iTunes and drag/drop files from Windows Explorer to the playlist. Then select all on the playlist and select "add to iPod".
    Also, must I submit my credit card info to register my iPod? The only thing I want to use iTunes for is to add/remove my existing songs to/from the iPod. Is there a better tool for this that isn't as bloated? Like iTunes Lite or something that only contains the minimal of features?

  • Create folder view with files and tasks

    Good day to you,
    we want to support our software development procces with Vibe. What we are doing is, we make changes to the source code and protocol corresponding things in certain files.
    We think in so called "releases" and every release consists of tasks and a list of changes. This list is held in an excel file, so I would like to create a folder view, which consists of tasks and files.
    So far I could create a custom folder view with attachments at the top and a task list at the bottom, based on the task family.
    The problem is, the attachment view as a standard folder view does not allow colleborative editing of attached files. You can only view and download attached files, but not open them via Office addin. Therefore you can not lock or version files, which is mandatory for collaborative work.
    I would like to mix the file folder view with it's possibilities with a task folder view.
    Any ideas?
    Warm regards
    bitschnau

    There's no out of the box way to achieve what you're looking for.
    Two solutions:
    1. Your users would need to open the entry first and then click on the "edit this file" link.
    2. You could code your own folder view or landing page element and build what you need.

  • PSE 7 Sort order in file folder view

    In Thumbnail view I can order the photos by oldest first or newest first. When I change my display option to folder view the photos do not display in any order. Not the order taken (oldest to newest) or (newest to oldest) or by filename. I am unable to determine the logic that is applied in folder view. Further, I can not locate a sort tool either in folder view. I am running Vista, and am new to PSE. I have been running Macintosh with iPhoto, so this is my mindset. Any migration advice from iPhoto Mac to Vista PSE7 would also be of interest.
    Barry in St. Louis

    Ernst,
    The PSE Organizer is designed for organizing photos by date/time and keyword tags, not folders and filenames. So most people find that once their photos have the right date/time, they can profitably ignore folders and filenames. A couple of suggestions for getting all your photos to have the right date/time:
    1. Adjust the date/time of each folder of images as described in the previous message, so they all have the correct date/time. That may be a little tedious, but if you have 20 different such folders, youll be done soon enough. Then in the Organizers Thumbnail view, all the photos will be arranged by date/time.
    2. Create a new album in the Organize pane. Then put each folder of images with wrong date/times into the album. Then click on the album name in the Organize pane to show just those images. Now you can freely rearrange their order within the album. Once theyre ordered correctly, you can select all of them and use Edit > Adjust Date And Time to shift them to the correct starting time(s).

  • Hidden network drives "home" and "net" shown in folder view Adobe Bridge CS5 / Lion Problem

    Updated to Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion and got this "problem":
    The hidden network drives "home" and "net" shown in folder view Adobe Bridge CS5 (unlike in 10.6 Snow Leopard).
    Normally these network drives are hidden (in Finder and other Apps) - but Adobe Bridge CS5 is showing them, despite "show hidden files" is unchecked in Adobe Bridge.
    Not a dramatic "bug", but it also shouldn't be a big problem for Adobe Bridge engineers to solve this. My first question to the Adobe Support was answered like: "we don't know what Apple did change, so we cannot do anything". Hmmm, are you serious?
    I tried to resolve that problem by myself but failed. So, if an Adobe engineer is reading this post: perhaps Adobe Bridge is ignoring the automounter master map (that was my approach to resolve it):
    # Automounter master map
    +auto_master                    # Use directory service
    /net           -hosts                 -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
    /home                                        auto_home       -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
    /Network/Servers               -fstab
    /-                              -static
    You cannot do anything to these folders, so it is not a serious issue, but, I mean, did someone at Adobe check compatibiliy with 10.7 and ignored this issue? If so, are there an other issues ignored?
    But I guess, the compatibilty update for Bridge CS5 for Lion is Bridge CS6 - to be fair: I also have to say, that in general Bridge is running okay on Mac OS X 10.7.2 (but could be better, as always;)

    Hi Curt Y,
    thanks for your answer! Yes you' re right, I forgot to mention that ... before I posted here, I sent a bug report via the Apple Bug Report webpage about the issue ... of course, here are 2 parties involved.
    I had a similiar problem once and I got a meesage back from Apple: "that it is a 3rd party problem, sorry" (it was about color management).
    I am just a user and I often feel very strange about Apple's (topsecret) communication behaviour ... Whatever, what do I know about software engineering? - Right.
    Maybe someone on this forum has an idea, because I'm afraid, thus it is not a serious bug, no one would take care about it in the next time (during my research I found an older post here on the forum about the same problem ...).
    thanks for help in advance,

  • Setting a default folder view for all folders in Windows 7

    How do you set up a default folder view of "List" for ALL the folders in Windows 7 including the optical drive?  
    Artoo

    I just installed windows 7. Are you seriously telling me that i now have all folders with mp3s in them AUTOMAGICALLY (THANKS FOR THE HANDY HELPING HAND THERE MICROSOFT!!!) set to some designers whim of what an mp3 folder "SHOULD" look like?
    Well i was going to write a big rant, and indeed did, but then i was doing some more research and it seems like i just made everyones day and solved the problem (partially). Or well THIS guy did:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16694/customize-the-five-windows-folder-templates/
    After you’ve clicked OK, visit some of the other folders in your file system.  You should see that most have taken on these new settings.
    What we’ve just done, in effect, is we have customized the General Items template.  This is one of five templates that Windows Explorer uses to display folder contents.  The five templates are called (in Windows 7):
    General Items
    Documents
    Pictures
    Music
    Videos
    When a folder is opened, Windows Explorer examines the contents to see if it can automatically determine which folder template to use to display the folder contents.  If it is not obvious that the folder contents falls into any of the last four templates,
    then Windows Explorer chooses the General Items template.  That’s why most of the folders in your file system are shown using the General Items
    template.
    Changing the Other Four Templates
    If you want to adjust the other four templates, the process is very similar to what we’ve just done.  If you wanted to change the “Music” template, for example, the steps would be as follows:
    Select a folder that contains music items
    Apply the existing Music template to the folder (even if it doesn’t look like you want it to)
    Customize the folder to your personal preferences
    Apply the new template to all “Music” folders
    A fifth step would be:  When you open a folder that contains music items but is not automatically displayed using the Music template, you manually select the Music template for that folder.
    Anyways, sorry that explanation doesnt do it justice. I have spent waaay too much time trying to figure this out already. Also that link doesnt say how to 1) copy templates (are they file or registry based?, didnt do research) 2) if you can distable templates
    or the automatic re-templating of folders.
    THAT is what i want to know! as it is much more maintance then its actually worth...
    but once i had set 5 default types to, the exact same thing... it now doesnt matter if it automagically switches it. SUCK IT MS AUTOTUNE!!!
    Its bloody hard to frame this question too. What can you say about this? "folder changes to mp3" "customize folder types windows 7" "windows 7 folder changes to mp3" "dont automatically change folders to mp3" "how
    to change mp3 details column for good" "automatically change column order win 7 mp3"
    The search that actually solved it:
    "do not apply default template to mp3 windows 7"
    good luck, this worked for me!
    EDIT: also i just noticed that neonr already answered this above. i just didnt read it carefully enough. anyways i guess i will leave this and mark his as answer.

Maybe you are looking for
