How Do I Reverse Order Of Files In Icon View ?

My folder has files in Icon View arranged according to Date Created.
However, the last ones come first ........ how can I reverse the order so that the last ones come at the end?
It's easy in List view as you just click the triangle but how do you do it in Icon View?

Thanks Kappy - it was not mine but a neighbours question.
Originally they had the icons starting with the oldest but I think they must have had the "Arrange by" window set to none, so the files were in the order of creation. Then someone must have hit the "Date" button!

How to retain numerical order (Of file names) when combining files in Acrobat (9) Standard

How to retain numerical order (Of file names) when combining files in Acrobat (9) Standard, please see the attached screenshot for a clearer explanation.
I understand that if we prefix all files with leading zero's this will probably resolve the issue but I just wondered if anyone new the answer. The ironic situation is that version 6 has no problem.
I have spent over an hour with techincal support who were unable to provide me with an answer

It is not clear how you are trying to do the order. Have you tried to select a set of files and then use the arrow buttons to move them in the list? If you select the heading, that will typically reorder the files by that heading and undo everything you had done before.
You should be able to select groups of files and move them up and down in the list. All of those options appear on your view, so what is the real question?

Moving files in icon view.

Is there any easier way to move files in icon view?
For example, say I have icon view open in the Finder window. And I want to move a file from the bottom of the window—one out of maybe two hundred. Presently I am clicking and dragging it aaaallllll the way to the top of the window then dropping it into another folder in that same window.
Is there a way to click on the file and then hit a key combination or something that will take me right to the top of the window and save a ton of time?

I think what you are saying is that you have a folder with a lot of files in it, and some sub-folders as well, and what you want is to move some of the files into one of the sub-folders. The easiest way is to open the folder, drag the target sub-folder into the Sidebar, scroll down to the files you want to move and then drag them to the sub-folder in the Sidebar. When you are done adding things to the sub-folder just drag it out of the Sidebar.

Reverse order in File- Open dialogue

The file/folder list in the File->Open dialogue window is "stuck" at showing in reverse order. I can right-click in the Open dialogue window and sort ascending, but the next time I open a file it is back to reverse order.
I have experimented with Explorer's view settings but Reader appears to ignore those. Other applications, for example Word, use Explorer's view settings and behave as I would expect.
I suspect that someone has inadvertently changed something on this PC. Perhaps there's a keystroke combination that changes the file display order persistently?
Any ideas, please?

I'm still struggling with this - does anyone know how to change the file sort order in the File->Open dialogue?
It must be possible to change it because it has somehow been changed to reverse order!

How to combine Camera-Raw processed files to be viewed within Windows Explorer as processed

      The problem I have with camera processed files is that when viewed within Explorer what you did on the file, the crop, and other effects are not visible within Windows Explorer. What is visible there is the original file--this seems to be true of the original nef file in my case. The change does appear if you save it as a .tif, .dng or .psd but not the NEF. But if you were to open again the NEF file and the RAW Window opens you can see your changes immediately.
        I know it is because with an original raw file nothing has been done to the image except give it instructions so to speak but Bridge does see it as such so why not let Explorer (Or other viewers, for ex. XnView) view it as such as well? Perhaps this is more a Microsoft Windows issue or what-have-you but I thought I would start to present it here first.
Where's the question? The question is not actually for someone to explain why this is so, I think I may understand this a little but rather the question is, would it be possible to let other software such as Explorer see the raw processed file--to let it see it as Bridge sees it? Yeah I guess this may be a Windows issue but.....
   Why does this bother me? Since I don't use Photoshop or Bridge professionally I view images more often in Explorer then I do in Bridge or PS (The former is instantaneously viewable while the latter take way to long to open--and Bridge vs. XnView needs an extra step.)
        Side note: Sometimes I feel I am wasting my time and yours in writing such silly questions nevertheless they present themselves in my brain and in the process I hope to learn something from it regardless of its silliness/stupidity. It is such questions which at times creates something original, therefore creativity, after all, does it not? (Or so I tell myself in order to justify it all :-)

How to lock a MS office file to be viewed only with certificate?

Have you already looked at Active Directory Rights Management Services? Is that the sort of thing you're after?

Hello there,
I`m having the following task - I need to lock a certain MS Office files (Word, Excel...) to be viewed only by certain people on my domain, which already had a digital certificate which is issued by AD Certification Authority, running on Windows Server 2012 R2.
The task is that these certain people can view the files but if they copy the files to another location or send them by e-mail or other way the files to be locked even for openening.
I`m not pretty sure if this can be done only with the mentioned certificates so I`m open to any suggestions of the topic.
Thanks in advance for the info and the help.

Order that files are processed when running a batch script

I have a situation where I need to process a series of PDF document that reside within a single directory (Win7 OS). Since I am creating a sequence number the order in which they are processed them is important. In this particular case it is alphabetical. I have not been able to figure out what attribute Acrobat uses to determine what order to process, but it certainly is not name, date modified, date created or size. Does anyone know how Acrobat determines the order of files to be processed or how to control that? Currently my work around is to have the process ask which files I want to process instead of specifying an input directory. Then by selecting the last file first and holding the shift key selecting the first file to process, the documents are processed in the correct order. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What you can do, although it's a bit of a workaround, is to split your workflow into 2 parts:
In the first you you save all of the file paths into an array using a batch.
The second part is a folder-level script which sorts the array, and then processes all of the items in it.
Of course, then you are limited to what can be done with a script. You can't use this method for OCRing files, for example.

How do I fix a problem with .eps files not showing up properly in icon view

Actually my .eps files are not showing properly in any of the views but icon view is most important to me. I am using OSX.8.5 on a mac mini and mac book air. Almost all of my .eps files are conversions of .wmf files converted to .eps by WMF Converter software. All of these files used to be on a PC running windows Vista using ST Thumbnails explorer to be able to view thumbnails. For background info: I had to use a program to view the WMF files becasue hackers could put viruses into the thumbnail for WMF fies so instead of fixing the problem Microsoft disabled the thumbnail view for all WMF files.
A few of my .eps files are conversions of files created in CorelDraw 3x and converted to .eps in CorelDraw 3x. Both types of .eps files misbehave the same.
I downloaded one .eps file today from the internet to see if it would misbehave the same way (it does).
Here is the problem: After a reboot when I first view a folder that contains .eps files in icon view I can see the file contents fine. If I use the resize slider at the bottom of the window or resize the window itself then some or all of my .eps files revert to displaying the "generic icon" of a Loupe with a picture behind it. If i can manage to put the resize slider to exactly where it was then my icons display the file contents as they did before I messed with the slider. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when an icon will display as the file contents or when the generic icon comes up. In some folders all the icons display correctly at the smallest icon size and in other folders the icons may display correctly or as only generic or a mix of generic and file contents. Icons to files that came from the same source will not necessarily display the same way. Icons to files that came from the same source and were converted by WMF Converter at the same minute do not necessarily display the same way. If I display "info" for the files sometimes the previev pane of the info box will display the generic icon or sometimes it will show the file contents. If I take an .eps icon that displays properly and drop it into a folder where all .eps icons are displayed as generic then that icon displays generic. When I move that same icon out of that folder then it will display properly. Icon view, list view, column view and cover flow view all display differently with no discernable pattern. Sometimes I can see file contents in column view and not icon view. Sometimes in cover flow and not in icon view. It makes no difference if I have a handful of .eps files in a folder or hundereds of files in a folder. After an undetermined amount of time the icons might display properly again or maybe not.
What I have done so far: exhaustive search of the internet did not find anyone else with the same issue. I checked and fixed all disk permission errors that disk utilities would fix. I know that icon view and quick look are two different things, but, I did however, download and install an eps quicklook plugin that did not seem to make a difference for my issue. BTW Quick look sometimes works and sometimes not (no discernable pattern to this behavior either). I tried the cnet download fix for quicklook just for grins. It had me force QL to reload plugins and it's cache then I cleared out the QL configuration files. This did not seem to make a difference in the behavior of icon view or Quicklook. The only two things I have found to be consistant are 1) The "open with preview" always works but I know this is different because this preview actually generates a pdf view of the file. 2) When the icon does display the file contents it always displays correctly.
When you read this please be mindful of: I am a Microsoft refugee not yet familiar with the Apple world so you may have to tell me how to do "simple" things. I have no idea what is the difference between a "thumbnail" or a "preview" or the behind the scenes way that apple generates the icon appearance for the 4 different views.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I tried to insert a screen shot but got an error message when I did it.

Was the error number really 0XE8....

Moving 20 or more Files in Icon Form to a New Folder

Hey everyone, I've finally gotten around to hitting the forums to inquire about this.
I like to organize many of my folder, file, and desktop files in Icon view and put them together according to their grouping. Once my desktop would get too cluttered I would go through and clean it up by placing it into sub-folders.
This use to be dandy until the time of one of the OS upgrades, I think from Snow Leopard, but it could have been Leopard. Now, whenever I move 21 or more files into a new folder, the first 20 are fine, but everything after the 20th start to be placed into a grid type of mode. [The pictures below will kind of help demonstrate, I've talked to AppleCare where they repeated the conundrum, and suggested these forums]
Anyways, is there some cap or limit I could change either via Terminal or something? Its really annoying having to move and make icons in 20 file increments, so any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

First, I have a question: your profile says you're on Tiger (10.4.x), but you mention Leopard and Snow Leopard - what is the current OS version you are using?
And, before I try to understand and help, I wonder why you appear to be using the desktop as your filing cabinet so to speak? Or do you file your folders elsewhere after the content has been organized? Having that many files on your desktop will slow down your startup - Finder has to open each and every one of those. I created a folder within the Documents folder which has thousands of files and many sub folders in it - it is not on the desktop though; I dragged its' alias to the dock for one click access.
Now, to your issue - did you make sure that you have your view preferences set correctly for all the folders? Even if that is so, I can see that dragging 20 or more folders containing more than 30 GB all at once could result in some glitches. I never use icon view myself (preferring column view) because it would sometimes just not wind up in the order I wanted. So, unless someone can come up with a more definitive idea, I'd say you need to drag fewer folders or try list or column view to see if it works better.

How do I reverse the order in which files appear in Icon View option?

I took a lot of pictures on a trip recently, which I have uploaded to a folder in Finder. When I click on View Options and then Keep Arranged by Date Created, they get rearranged so that the most recent appears at the top, and the first ones taken are at the bottom. How can I reverse this order, so that they appear in chronological order?
Thanks,
Richard

There might be another way.
There are utilities which can batch-rename files, including options that sort by date, begin all the resulting filenames with a common prefix, and then add a sequential "padded" filename suffix. If you then display the resulting collection of files in alphabetical order (as in Finder's Arrange by Name in icon view), they should be sorted chronologically.
I haven't tried any of these, but the site for [A Better Finder Rename|http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/index.html], shareware, states:
"A Better Finder Rename knows how to extract EXIF shooting date and time information from digital camera images and exploit them in creating sequence numbers or adding time and date information to the file name. "
There may be suitable freeware alternatives -search for *file renamer* in [Version Tracker|http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx>.

I wonder if we haven't misunderstood what you were asking for. Could it be that you have not a huge file, but just a huge list of names in many small files. If that's the case, you should rather use the following script instead of the previous one.
Since this script does not rename the files, make a backup of your files before running it.
set theFolder to choose folder -- the folder containing your text files
tell application "Finder"
    set theNames to name of files of theFolder whose name extension is "txt"
end tell
set theTextFiles to {}
set theFolderPath to POSIX path of theFolder
repeat with thisName in theNames
    copy theFolderPath & thisName to the end of theTextFiles
end repeat
repeat with thisFile in theTextFiles
    set F1 to open for access thisFile
    set theText to read F1
    close access F1
    set theParagraphs to paragraphs of theText
    set bigList to (a reference to theParagraphs)
    set theNewParagraphs to {}
    set bigNewList to (a reference to theNewParagraphs)
    repeat with X in bigList
        set P to offset of " - " in X
        if P = 0 then
            set Y to X
        else
            set Y to text (P + 3) through -1 of X & " - " & text 1 through (P - 1) of X
        end if
        copy Y & return to the end of bigNewList
    end repeat
    set theNewText to text 1 through -2 of (bigNewList as text)
    set F2 to open for access thisFile with write permission
    set eof F2 to 0
    write theNewText to F2
    close access F2
end repeat

When I try to insert several pdf files into an initial one, they consistently are attached in reverse order, no matter how I instruct the program. How do I correct this?

I am working with Acrobat X Pro. I open a pdf, then try to insert several files, in a specific order, into the first one. No matter whether I instruct it to place the files after the first, last or name a page number, the files are inserted in reverse order after the initial file. How do I overcome this problem?

Thanks Bill !! for providing the simple answer - this has saved me much work. I always assumed that Acrobat would either a) sort the inserted files alphanumerically or b) use the sort order of the OS's file selector. The c) answer of inserting the files in the reverse order of the OS file selector (since Acrobat will reverse that order) eluded me until now.
It's clearly a bug in the program, I'm using Acrobat X Pro, but had the exact same problem with Acrobat 7 - never occurred to me to sort the file listing in reverse alphanumeric order in order to have Acrobat insert them in correct alphanumeric order.
Thank!

How do I reverse the order of file lists in finder?

When I display a finder page with icons the sort is ascending (A-Z), but when I use the list function it is decending (Z-A). How do I reverse the list order?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and don't speak for "Apple, Inc."
In Finder icon view, click the Arrange button and select which column you'd like to sort by.
In Finder list view, click the top header of any column to sort by that column. Clicking the same header again reverses the sort order (and the small 'arrow' at the end of the column name reverses direction too).
And using Finder, View, Customize Toolbar the Finder window toolbar can be customized to display icons only, text only or both, as well as adding additional icons to the default toolbar:

How to copy images from another MC in reversed order??

Hi everyone,
I'm new to AS3 and have been fighting and searching for a solution to this problem for a week now, and I'm VERY close!
I crated a MC holding of a series of images (about 50) and I jump around in it using plenty AS3 scripts (most of which I don't fully understand yet, but I'm working on that to! )
I had to find a way to "rewind" (= play backwards) the MC. Since there is a stop(); command in almost every frame, prevFrame does not work and if I put that in a loop, it goes WAY to fast (but worked).. So I could think of only one way...
Create a new (reverserd) MC with the same image sequence ald reverse it manually and play that one.
This all works fine (very proud of it ).
Now my question:
To get this to work for multiple image sequences, I have to load all images twice (once in MC_1 and again in MC_2 and select them and reverse them).
Not a big one, unless you want to create MANY of those SWF's...
Is it possible to load the 50 images of the first MC in reverse into the second MC dynamically? JUST the images, noting else.
extra info: the MC_2 is already in the lib(empty) and placed on the stage.
something like:
var pointer:Number=1;
for (var:i:Number=50;i>=0;i--) {
get MC_1.picure(var);
put it in MC_2.frame(pointer);
pointer = pointer + 1;
All help is welcome and please take into account that I have little experience and copy most of my scripting from people like you
T.I.A.
Melluw

I tried your advice (thanks for that)
The event I already have is the mouse leave
I //-d out the part I removed (what did work)
The code I ended up with is:
function Start() {
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, cursorHide);
function cursorHide(evt:Event):void {
var currFrame = MC_1.currentFrame;
if (CCW == true) { //it is true in this case
movStart = (50 - currFrame);
else {
movStart = currFrame;
if (movStart>25) {
MC_1.prevFrame();
// removed swapChildren(MC_1, MC_2); // This is the part I removed
// removed MC_2.gotoAndPlay(movStart);
else {
MC_1.gotoAndPlay (movStart);
And if I leave the stage on the part where movStart is indeed >25
Nothing happens,
So I guess this is not what you meant
Subject: Action Script 3 how to copy images from another MC in reversed order??
I cannot direct you in the loading of the images approach, it will be too complicated, and will probably not work anyways... when you move away from a frame that has dynamic content, you lose the content. So basically, there is nothing practical in taking that approach.
I do niot understand what the problem will be with the enterFrame/prevFrame approach. If everything you can do with the mouse is already used (which I doubt) by the first mc, then there is nothing else you can do with this file. You probably just need to rethink your control scheme. You should search Google for "AS3 slideshow tutorial", and to lighten up your design, add "XML" in that search.
