How can I make Color Tags color the whole line?!

All,
I have been using Color Tags every since they first  appeared on the Mac. It WAS great to color code files and folder of which I now have hundreds done that way. Problem is that now Apple has done away with the easy to see, easy to use colored line and replaced it with a stupid tiny dot. How can I get my colored lines back? Why does Apple keep changing things that have worked for year into things the are HARDER to use?
Thanks,
Dan

"Labels" has been changed to "Tags" in Mavericks. It appears that you cannot modify the appearance of Tags in Mavericks at this point.
There have been several threads on the subject in this forum, and the some of the suggested solutions are to revert your OS back to the system you had prior to Mavericks, or investigate 3rd party software such as Pathfinder, which allow you to modify the  presentation in the finder -

Apple does not monitor these threads, so the only way to make sure way to make sure Apple hears your opinion on this is to give your feedback directly to Apple:

    How can I make just one color pop and the rest of the photo black and white?? I'm using iphoto...

    3rd party image editors like Photoshop Elements for Mac can do it:
    Click to play video screenshot
    Or use it to keep an object in color and the rest B/W.

  • How can I make a folder in the TV for my home movies

    How can I make a folder in the TV shows for my home movies collection?  I have created a folder in the library in finder and put all the videos in there but they do not appear in itunes.
    pshultz

    It's best to never move iTunes media around in Finder. Add it to the Library through the iTunes interface by dragging them into the window. Once they've been added to the library, you can try using Get Info on the files in iTunes and change the tag info to make them group together. (A unique album name should do this.) If you want them to be included with TV Shows, you can try using Get Info to set the Kind to TV Show (found under the Options tab in Get Info), but I'm not sure if it will work. Otherwise, you could make a playlist and drag them into to access them all in one convenient spot.
    If you add the items as noted above and they still do not appear in your library, it's probably because they are not a compatible format.

  • How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?

    How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?
    I myself think that (for instance) "A tribe called Quest" should be sorted under "A", not "T".
    Now I can edit the sort options manually per track and/or per selection, but I would really like to just kill this "iTunes-knows-how-you-should-sort"-feature in iTunes.
    Anyone any suggestion on how to do that?
    Thanks

    Here is a modified version of one of Doug's Scripts. My modification was to add Sort Name to the list of tags that could be changed. I tried it on a single track and it worked. I recommend backing up your library first. Select the tracks you want to change (or all tracks) and run the script from the Applescript Editor.  If it works as intended, save it so you can apply it to newly imported tracks.  And, yes, I know this isn't the exact answer to your question, you want to change a preference setting in iTunes (if there is such a setting).
    Original script can be forund at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=thistagthattag
    Modified script is below. Start up Applescript Editor, paste it into a new window.  Start up iTunes and select the tracks to modify.  Click Run in the Applescript Editor.  Follow the instructions.

  • How can I make different catalogs from the same image

    How can I make different catalogs from the same image where that image has been changed in some way between the catalogs. For instance if I wanted to have a catalogs for cropped images and have 3 catalogs one for 4x6 , 5x7 and 8x10 cropping. When I tried this , if I changed a file in one catalog that same image in the other would change also.

    Do not confuse the creation of the crops and the display in collections per crop ratio.
    Of course one virtual copy (VC) per crop ratio is needed. If the same image should be cropped in all 3 mentioned ratios there would be 3 VCs.
    The OP asked how to have/see a set of same-crop-ratios.
    After having created the virtual copies for whatever crop ratio he wants, the way to display this result in the fashion asked for is via smart collections, provided they can be found. Without a plugin the naming of the VC with the crop ratio applied is a straight way to achieve that.
    IF the wish is to get new crops automatically added. (See my answers 2+3)
    IF the wish is to creat static collections per crop ratio for a certain set of images, I'd go as follows:
    1. Select all images you want to have cropped in that way,.
    2. With this selection click on the + to add another collection and fill the dialog box like this:
    Then navigate into this newly created selection and perform the 4x6 crop - according to taste individually or by synchronizing the first crop.

    Logically a structure something like below should work BUT whether or not it will upset the FG I don't know as I wouldn't ever use it.

    if you try to install an app that depends on adobe air, you should be prompted to download and install adobe air (unless it's already installed).
    you can download and install directly so you're not prompted by that app, Adobe - Adobe AIR

    Why would you think that all stores would have the same policy?
    Amazon allows it, iTunes does not.  That is why.  Like most companies, Apple does not forward explanations to al of their decisions to the general public.  It does not have to make sense to you, for it to be true.  Apple has teams of experts that have determined that this is how they should conduct their business.
    With iTunes, you cannot use other countries stores.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Apple's policy on sales of digital content is that all sales are final. If however you wish to appeal to Apple, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
    Currently, if your purchase happens to be your most recent purchase you will not be redirected to the report form, in this case use the report a problem option from the invoice that was emailed to you.
    I believe your issues are probably a network issue, which unless you resolve are likely to be repeated again.

  • CS4: How can I copy named potions of the time line to the projects panel?

    I am trying to copy named portion of my time line to the project panel & I can't past the segment.
    I copied a large AVI file to the time line, split it up into sections, & am trying to place the individual rename section into the Projects Panel. I can Copy the segment, but when I try to Paste it into the Projects Panel the Paste command is not "lighted up".
    How can I copy named potions of the time line to the projects panel?
     

    I found a way albeit a tedious method:
    positioned the render bar( I do not know the proper name) to encompass each segment separately.
    Exported that segment to Media.
    Media in turn transferred the segment to the Media Encoder program.
    The Media Encoder, after processing the segments, deposited the files in a temporary folder.
    Lastly, imported the content of the folder to the Project Panel,
    Thank you for all your suggestions.

  • How can I make my tags applied to BOTH of my email accounts?

    Thanks in advance.

    Read the user manual that came with your camera or contact the vendor.  My camera asks me where I want my uploads to go to.  There is a setting in its option menu.  Desktop is the default upload feature that my camera has.

  • Html text anchor tag uses the whole line

    Here's one. When I pull in html formatted text into a text

    as a link.
    Is there anyway to make it so the link is not made for the
    whole line?
    Example:

    TIm,
    Thanks for doing that. I came up with the same results. Since
    I'm loading everything from external files, I wanted to shy away
    from escaping all those characters. But, you definately helped me
    come up with a solution.
    I took some of my text links and dropped them all into a test
    movie I had been working with and had accidently left the
    <title> tag in the head, which shows up in the html. Needless
    to say, the text "untitled document" did NOT have the hyperlink
    applied to it.
    So I got to thinking, "What if I put text before and after
    the anchor tag." And sure enough. NO HYPER LINK on the new text. So
    then I got to thinking, "Hmm. Maybe I'll just put a character in
    before and after the hyperlink and set it's color to white so it
    won't show up."
    Sure enough it worked. So, that's my fix/workaround. If you
    have a hyperlink that is aligned right and it shows up on the whole
    line, put a character before and after the hyperlink and make it's
    color the same as the background.
    It worked, but
    HELLO ADOBE / FLASH TEAM!!! Please fix the bug and implement
    HTML 4.0 or above so we don't have to come up with these crazy
    workarounds,
    please.
    Thanks everybody who helped out on this. Great community!
