How do I control the state of folder chevrons when a volume is mounted?

When my users mount a server, they inherit the chevron settings of a previous user.  Sometimes that previous setting has a chevron turned down on a big folder.  That results in long mount times over Internet connections.  It is also confusing to the users to have the server view change on mount from day to day as other people change the configuration.
Does anyone know how to control the chervon settitngs of folders on a mounted server?

You may find it useful to just disable .DS_Store files all together for network volumes.
You can run this command on the client machines to tell them not to write .DS_Store files on a network volume.
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
You could then find and remove all .DS_Store files on the network volume you are sharing out.
find /Volumes/Shares/YourSharePoint -name .DS_Store -exec rm {} \;

  • How can I control the FAQ title with CSS when using the Ajax effect

    I am calling the FAQ module with the Ajax effect.
    I would like to set different states with CSS to the title;
    I have tried to use :hover, :active and :focus on the div.
    It would be nice with a different styling when the item is "open"
    (I know there is a problem with the stacking, but I posted that in another thread)

  • How do you control the color code (calendar choice) when entering an event on the calendar in iCal?

    Nevermind. I figured it out! Only the "all day events" get a bar of color.

    Many others are experiencing this problem as well.. I personally have eleven different calender in iCal with assigned colors, all of which are different colors on my iPhone iCal.
    It seems that as of now there is no fix for this bug and that we'll just have to wait for Apple to recognize the issue.

  • How can I control the order of playback on MuVu Mix (USB 2.

    What determines the order of playback of music files stored on the MuVu Mix (USB 2.0)? How can I control the order?
    Apparently it is not name order. The music titles are prefixed by sequential numbers. But that is not the order that the files play back.
    I tried erasing all contents, then copying the files one by one to the MuVo Mix in the order that I want them to play back (name order). But that is not the order that the files play back.
    By the way, in both case, I removed the ".dat" file first. (I also tried keeping the ".dat" file, to no avail.)

    I did, and they confirmed (very quickly; kudos!) what you and I both expect: the play order is determined by the alphabetical order of the file names. The mistake was mine. I ass-u-me-d that the MSWin folder "Name ^" order was correct. I did not realize that it is not exactly alphabetical when the file name begins with a number (e.g, the track number). I had renumbered songs from a second CD by simply adding 00 to the track number. Thus, songs and 2 of the first CD are played after songs 08 and 09 of the second CD, as they should alphabetically, even though they appear in the order , 2, 08, 09 in the "Name ^" list. Klunk! Mea cupla!

    It may be best to recreate the folder and the smart playlists from scratch.

    the only way to control it is to define the right path to
    your loaded files.
    There really isn't any other way. If the file is in a folder,
    it has to be in
    your path folder/name.swf

  • HT1364 I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again.  How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanen

    I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again.  How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanent?  I have an older machine with Windows XP.

    I don't believe mounting the hard drive should be necessary, unless you have several external drives and want your computer to recognise them as folders, rather than drives. I've never had to mount a hard drive, ever. If you don't know how to do it, then it shouldn't be necessary now.
    Try this:
    Prepare iTunes so that it can see the external drive.
    Make a note of which drive-letter the external drive has been allocated. (Look in Windows Exploer)
    Look at the file location for a song. Make sure it plays (and therefore that iTunes has found it). Highlight it and select File/Get Info/Summary>Where: and make a note of the drive letter for that song.
    Close and shut down the computer.
    The next time you turn the computer on again, connect the external drive
    Before you start iTunes - check the external drive in Windows Explorer. Is it ready, does it have the same drive-letter that it had last time? Can you go into the drive and see the files on it?
    Once you can, start iTunes. (If the drive lettter has changed, you need to work out why before going any further.)
    If iTunes fails to find your external drive, you need to check where iTunes is looking for your Library.
    Select the same song you checked before (presumably iTunes can no longer find it). Follow the procedure for locating it. You should be able to see where iTunes thinks the file is. It's the drive that counts. Which drive letter is iTunes looking at? Is it the same one that it was previously (which should also be the same one that the drive has now).
    What happens, which step do you have problems with?

  • How do I copy the same app folder layouts from one device to another? We have a several iphones and ipads.

    how do I copy the same app folder layout from one device to another. We have several apple devices.
    It's a challenge when syncing a device for the first time to go through all the apps and apply them back to the same folders as on your other iphone.
    I've seen suggestions of taking pictures of the correct layout, then manually applying it to the new device. Big time waister.
    What's the work around?
    Thank you

    I'm afraid there is no short workaround. One thing that you could do if you were REALLY desperate is reset your device to factory settings and then restore it from your other device's backup, but that is rather risky and you probably don't want to take your chances just for folder layouts. I would just do it manually.

  • How can I control the zoom on my mac mouse?

    How can I control the zoom function on my mouse? In the middle of working on things my hand will rub the mouse by accident and all of a sudden the context within the screen is large. I have no idea of how to work this feature on my mouse and most times to get it to return to normal, I have to escape out of the work I am performing.

    If you are pressing the "Control" button on the Mac keyboard, scrolling up will zoom in and scrolling down will zoom out. You can disable this if it annoys you through System Preferences > Universal Access. If you are using Mountain Lion, it would be System Preferences > Accessibility.
    Uncheck the in the "Seeing" or "Zoom" section that says "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom".  It may be slightly different if you have an older OS X version. I have Mountain Lion and am going off of memory on the older versions.

  • How can I control the window size of my output?

    Hi,
    I'm drawing a blank... How do I control the size of the window that my project is viewed in? Right now, it's the entire browser window.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    From your post, I assume you are creating WebHelp output.
    You  need to create a window for the help in the Project Set-up pod. Then,  you need to make sure you call the output so that the window is used.  See http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm.  This article on Peter's site give you an overview over the  possibilities of calling context sensitivive webhelp and also tells you  how to specify the needed window. Also, the installation directory of  RoboHelp 8 contains a directory called CSH API. In there are example  API's your developer can use to call the help.

  • How do I control the order of all day events in iCal?

    How do I control the order of all day events in iCal?  Even if I painstakingly try to
    re-order the events the way I want them, when they print, they are in a different order.
    I have searched other forums and no one seems to have an answer to this.  Has
    anyone found the solution?  Thanks!

    I also have this issue, where the events in iCal change when viewing in print preview or printing. I even notice they will switch if I try to print again??!!! I am using different calendars to show different colours. and they are setup on iCloud not on my mac.
    it is becomign frustrating when I print 2 months worth and ssome events are correct in order and alas some will change when I print again!
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks

  • How can I control the volume in a Appletv movie from my remote control App. In my IPad ?.

    How can I control the volume in a Apple Tv movie from my remote control App. In my IPad ?.

    There is not now, nor has there ever been a version of flash for any iOS device.
    Adobe has abandoned mobile flash, so there never will be.
    Browsers like iswifter or photon may work for you, but don't hold your breath.
    Check app store for an app of whatever game you want.

  • How can I control the size of a cell in the GridBagLayout?

    Hi,Swing Gurus
    I am developing a swing-based program using JBulider5 enterprise.
    It seems to me that the GridBagLayout is really a hard nut!
    How can I control the size of a cell in the GridBagLayout?
    It seems that I cann't control the size of a cell directly.
    But how the size of a particular cell is determined when I switch the layout manager from XYLayout to GridBagLayout?
    Thx in advance!
    Regards,
    Justine
