Help to display multiple folder contents

Is there any way to show the entire contents of multiple folders in a single Finder window?
Smart Folders do not seem to be able to do this, so I expect any solution also to involve Automator, AppleScript and/or Folder Actions in some combination.
Any ideas please?

It's fairly trivial to build a list of the files in question, even across multiple directory hierarchies or volumes. The trick is how to get the Finder to display them.
In general, the Finder's windows will show one of two sets of data - either a specific directory, or the results of a smart folder filter.
If you apply the smart folder settings to the entire disk that should work, although it may show more than you want (e.g. there's no way to have a smart folder combine items from multiple directory roots).
The only other option I can think of is to build a list of aliases to the original files. That can be done via AppleScript (or, maybe, Automator), but I don't know if that fits your criteria.

Need help in displaying multiple attachments in a OAF Page

Hi,
I need to display attachemts of requisition line in a OAF Page(Notification Detials Page)and the attachments can be more than one.My custom VO returns it as a single string like url1, url2.. etc.
I need to show them as seperate links.
I tried using the Item Style as LINK.But it is not working.It is prefixing the server url before the View Attribute and creating a single link.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.Thanks in advance.

Hi skeerthi,
If you are using the core attachments table (FND_ATTACHED_DOCUMENTS and the like), you can have a look on the Developer's Guide on chapter 4: Implementing Specific UI Features, section "Attachments", there is a seeded region available for displaying multiple attachments.
If you are not, then i'd recommend refactoring :D... Just kidding, it would be nice to use the core feature, but if the table is custom, and the links are stored separated by commas, you will have to write controller code to implement that. That can be done by:
1) Creating an Application module method that uses StringTokenizer to tokenize the attribute String (use getViewObject().getCurrentRow().getAttribute() to get the comma-separated value) and return that to the controller
2) In the controller, receive the StringTokenizer and for each token, use the api createWebBean() to create an OALinkBean and add it to a layout region using addIndexedChild() api.
This way you will dinamically create a Link for each attachment. If your layout region is, for example, tableLayout, you can create a rowLayout for each token, then create a Link, add the link to the row layout and finally add it to the tableLayout. By doing so, you will create a table-style attachment region.
Hope it Helps

Help: JEditorPane displays all HTML content centered

I'm using a JEditorPane to display the contents of a simple help file written in HTML.
The problem is that the help file is displayed with all elements centered! That is, every element is displayed as if it had the <CENTER></CENTER> tags around it. The page is not written this way, and displays normally in regular web browsers.
It's a really simple help page, and was written by hand. I have checked, and all of the tags used in the page conform to HTML 3.2. Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?
   private JEditorPane createEditorPane()
      JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane();
      editorPane.setEditable(false);
      editorPane.addHyperlinkListener(new Hyperactive());
      if (theHelpFile != null)
         try
            editorPane.setPage(theHelpFile); //This is a string, the URL to the file
         } //end try
         catch (Exception e)
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            System.err.println("Bad URL: " + theHelpFile);
         } //end catch
      } //end if
      else
         System.err.println("Couldn't find file: "+theHelpFile);
      } //end else
      return editorPane;
   } //end createEditorPane

If you are using the standard HTMLEditorKit that comes along with JEditorPane, you should note that it only supports HTML 3.2. This may be the problem. Check page source if div's and similar are used or if the page has "HTML 3.2"-old elements like table's or similar to control layout/display.

Imac slow to display folder content

Hi,
My Mid 2010 Imac 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 with 4GB 1333 MHz RAM is currently having problems displaying folder content. As I am a photographer I am often opening folders of images and needing to view them and recently when I click on a folder or sub-folder the images can take upto a few minutes to display (making it look like the folder is empty). It only seems to happen intermittently.
I have already checked hard disk space and have 371 gb free space. I was also advised to look at the green coloured free memory segment in the pie chart on the Activity Monitor which was very small. Since closing lots of programs which were sat on my dashboard and also deleting some items off of my Desktop this has now improved and is running around the 475 MB mark. Despite this, the displaying of folder content has NOT improved in the slightest.
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks

Surprising that the RAM hasn't improved things. Once you've resolved the current issue I'm sure you will notice a boost in performance 12gb is ample RAM for most uses.
Before re-installing it is vital to have a backup of all your data so that you can restore in the unlikely event of a problem. Re-installing the OS will not delete you data, but backup - at any time - is essential. An up-to-date Time Machine backup or a bootable clone of your HD using an application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! will do the job. Many on here keep both forms of backup.
If you do decide to re-install the OS you can do it from the Recovery HD. Restart holding down Command + R and from the screen with 4 choices select Re-install OS - you'll need an active internet connection and you might need to input your AppleID credentials to perform the install. It's a 4gb download so it might take some time, depending on your connection speed.

Displaying multiple dynamic html pages within a single Portal folder.

Hi all,
Question: How can I display multiple dynamic html pages that are linked to each other, within a single portal folder?
History:
I have a designer/web server application (PL/SQL packakges) on Oracle
8.1.7. Early in the development process we built it into WebDB2.2 and
used folders on the left side as a navigation bar and the contents of my packages on the right side. This was easy, WebDB used Frames.
Unfortunatley I could never automatically display a PL/SQL item in the folder area.
Now I need to integrate the application into Portal 3.0 not the early adopters version, the one with 9iAS (NT for now, Unix later). I have a page/content area divided into regions and a navigation portlet on the left side containing links to PL/SQL folders whose contents are displayed on the right side. On the right side I have (for example) a Queryview. When I click on any of the buttons (i.e. Find, New), I land in a new page outside of my portal folder. This page contains a dynamically built list (from one or more DB Tables) and of course the first column contains a list of links that bring you to the individual item. How do I set my links or configure my folder to display
within the portal folder area?

Hi,
One alternate is, increase the size of your screen, for this go to the layout of your screen and increase it as much you want, and also the custom container size, so that no scroll bar will appear at least.
Other solution would be, as you said ALVs will be dynamical, it will be good to create buttons, or links on the screen based on the no of ALVs dynamically and on click of corresponding button call the corresponding ALV.
But i dont think this will serve, first check the first option.
Hope this helps u.,
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran.

Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.

cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.

What is the context you're asking these questions in? Are these interview questions? Homework questions? Or is there some underlying business problem you're trying to solve?

Create Query to restrict the user to a single row.                     I don't understand the question. You may be trying to create a VPD policy for the table, but that is far from clear from the question.
Query to get the first inserted record FROM a table.                Probably not possible in general. Oracle doesn't track the date at which a row was inserted.
Concatenate a column value with multiple rows.                          Again, I don't understand the question.
Query to delete all the tables at once.                You'd need dynamic SQL. And a definition of "all tables"-- are you talking about all tables in a particular schema? All the tables in multiple schemas? Something else? Does "at once" imply that you want things to run in parallel? And does "delete" really mean delete (a DML operation)? truncate (a DDL operation)? or drop?
SQL Query for getting Orphan Records.You'd need a definition of "orphan record" and requirements for what the parent and child tables are. The normal approach to finding parent and child tables dynamically would leverage foreign key constraints, but that would generally preclude the presence of orphan records.

Need help in creating multiple signature forms?

need help in creating multiple signature forms that can be digitally signed in adobe reader

Automator gets a bit unweildy when trying to vary things outside of what the actions provide. Since you are already using an AppeScript in your workflow, might as well do the whole thing:
set baseFolder to (path to desktop) -- the location to create the folder
display dialog "Please provide a new folder name:" default answer "test"
set folderName to text returned of the result
repeat -- keep repeating until a number is returned
display dialog "How many subfolders?" default answer "5"
set theNumber to text returned of the result
    try -- test the result
      set theNumber to theNumber as integer
      exit repeat -- success
    end try
end repeat
tell application "Finder"
try -- make new folder
    set newFolder to (make new folder at baseFolder with properties {name:folderName})
on error number -48 -- skip errors if the folder is already there
    set newFolder to ((baseFolder as text) & folderName) as alias
end try
repeat with X from 1 to theNumber
    try -- make new subfolder
      make new folder at newFolder with properties {name:folderName & X}
    on error number -48 -- skip errors if the folder is already there
    end try
end repeat

Automator folder action won't run entire folder contents

Hi,
Ok, I think I'm pretty well versed in Automator and getting things to work. But this is just escaping me.
I've made a simple Photoshop Droplet (done this before). Open Automator, built a workflow for getting a folders contents and then opening the contents with the Droplet.
Saved this as a folder action,...
But when I drag multiple items to the folder, it only runs the very first item and stops,...
If I drag one by one into the folder it will work fine,....
I'm going to have to be dragging multiples all the time, it's a waste of time to do one by one,...
I'm totally missing something here,.... please help!!
I'd also like to move the contents of the folder, once the Droplet has run, to the trash
But first I have to get this darn thing to run on the entire folders contents,.....
Workflows I've tried:
1 - Open finder Items (open in my Droplet) works one at a time
2 - Get Specified Finder Items (point to my folder)
Get Folder Contents
Open finder Items (open in my Droplet) again, works one at a time
Thanks!!
Christopher

Hi Curly, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I don't know much about Automator, and this may be of no help, but...
It's either just picking up/passing one variable, when it either needs an array of variables, or needs to loop back for the next one.

Folder content (Application, Utilities) disappear after Software Update

Please help!
Folder content of Application and Utilities disappeared! Applications still working through shortcuts and Dock.
After performing another Software Update (iTunes 8.0, Security Update 2008-006 (PowerPC), Quicktime 7.5.5), a task that worked for many years on the same formated G5, the multiple errors listed in the log. Please note that I did this through Remote Desktop from a distant Mac.
Can Disk Utility fix this? Looks like the Update did not finish well.
Please help!

Hi Phil, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I think Francine's page will cure this, it just picked up the Hidden Bit, happens to Disks and/or folders...
http://homepage.mac.com/francines/articles/invisible.html
Or use this...
show hidden files in OSX Finder
Open the terminal and type or copy/paste:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
Reverting to the default of NOT showing hidden files:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false
Restart or Force Quit Finder required to take effect.

How do I upload or drag and drop folders into my website folder content?

Am I limited to uploading or dragging and dropping only files? I have folder content I want to place in these folders in mmy Creative Cloud Accounts websites?

Thank you Manish-Sharma for offering help. I have way too many individual files to upload singly. It would only be opportune to upload the individual folders. Until Adobe creates such to upload folders, there is no reason to upload any content so I will not be able to benefit from displaying any content. I just do not have the time to upload by this means. So, it is a feature that makes no worthwhile availability in Adobe Creative Cloud to me. This really needs attention by Adobe otherwise it is a major point to not continue using Adobe Creative Cloud. It makes no sense to lack the ability. John

Setting up to View Folder Contents in Browser

I have placed 40 jpg images in a folder on my web site. How
can I let visitors view the file names (folder contents) &
select an image by name.
I hate to have to make a page & enter all 40 image file
names with links to the files. Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,

You could enable directory browsing in the directory, but
then you'll
need to accept the rather ugly server default index page. If
it were me,
I'd write a short script that read the directory and
displayed a more
attractive listing. How you would go about that would depend
on what
server scripting language(s) you have available on the
server.
