How do you highlight a file or folder in the finder screen?

I have OSX 10.9.2. I would like to be alble to hightlight a folder, so that when I view it I can see the whole line changed to a color. In the previous system I did this by selecting a folder then the dropdown,  File-Label, and chose a color. All this new one does is add a little dot. That hardly makes it stand out. Any help would be appreciated. I used that as my system for work, what was in progress, what was New, etc.
Thanks!

Hi,
At Mavericks it has changed from Labels to Tags.
There are several threads that deal with different issues regarding this.
Some want Labels back.
The Tags only add the dot but also add more and more categories if you add them.
However some find the resulting auto complete a bit overwhelming.
Tags don't quite do what Labels did regarding the colouring of the text line or folder which means there is not an answer.

  • How to open a Excel file and display on the custom screen

    Guys, I am new to screen programming. In my first screen (SCREEN #9000) I want to put a field, where I must be able to select a file from my desktop and when I click the DISPLAY button, it should suck all the data from the spread sheet in to an internal table, and should display the next screen  (SCREEN #9001), displaying the data from the internal table along with a button called LOAD. Now when I click the LOAD button after reviewing the data, it must load the data to my custom table in R/3. I know how to load an Excel spreadsheet to R/3 without the custom screens. But my requirement now is to do from custom screens like I mentioned above. Any ideas how to do this? Thanks.

    Hi Dan,
    In my first screen (SCREEN #9000) I want to put a field, where I must be able to select a file from my desktop and when I click the DISPLAY button, it should suck all the data from the spread sheet in to an internal table, and should display the next screen (SCREEN #9001)
    For  this create a MPP program and create a Push button. Write the code for this to open a file like use f4_filename.From here you are able to select a file.
    + displaying the data from the internal table along with a button called LOAD. Now when I click the LOAD button after reviewing the data, it must load the data to my custom table in R/3.+
    With the above you are able to open a file and now you have to load that data into internal table. Select the file from the desktop.
    Totally you have to create 1) Screen 2) Push button( Open File) 3) Load data ( From file) .

  • How do you set up a custom color for the standard screen mode

    This new colour scheme has not enough contrast for it to be readable, so I was pleased to find custom screen mode. However, there seems to be no way of setting up a custom color for this. In addition, the icons are so small they are unreadable. Is there any way of making them bigger. I have a 20" and a 22" monitor working together, but they are still not clear enough to use.

    Hi there
    Are you referring to the tool icons in Photoshop CS6? There are a few options you can change to help make the interface more readable, but unfortunately, there is not an option to enlarge the tool icons.
    It sounds like you may have discovered this already, but if you go to Photoshop > Preferences > Interface, you can change the color of the Photoshop CS6 interface.
    You can also enlarge the UI text size in this same window, in the Text preferences box.
    You can also make the size of your layers thumbnails larger. You can do this by clicking on the small menu in the upper right hand corner of the Layers Panel and selecting Panel Options.
    Here you can change the size of the layers thumbnails.
    I hope this helps you out a bit!

  • When adding an attachment, the files I see in the finder-screen are not up to date

    I want to attach a file to a new message. When I attach it via the button in het message-screen a finder screen will open. The files in here are not up to date. For example, a just added file is not visible. When I brouwse to the same folder by using the Finder itself at this time I will see the up-to-date files and can add them to the message by using drag and drop. So, I have found a solution but I still think this is a bug.
    See both screenshots, one is the folder "3 metingen" in the Thunderbird finder screen. the second is the same shown in Finder. More and accuate files are visible in Finder.
    Thanks for your time.
    Rogier.

    Both are OSX windows. Thunderbird just asks the operating system to open a windows of that type, so why the operating system would offer up such weirdness I have no idea. Under windows F5 forces and update, I wonder if it does on OSX?

  • How do you remove a non-existant folder from the sidebar?

    I am having trouble removing a file from 'places' in my sidebar. The file doesn't exist any more. I cannot drag it out nor can I highlight it to 'get info' to see if it has somehow become locked. I hope someone can help.

    You don't have to highlight it, simply Right or Control click the offending item and select "Remove from Sidebar."

  • How do you get bookmarks selected to appear in the full screen rather than the small window to the left

    When I click on a bookmarked site, some of them show up on the large screen to the right, but mostonly show up in the much smaller window to the left and are therefor useless. this is even when I've opened a new tab. I never had this problem before, but recently received a new computer and this is the result after downloading firefox in this computer.

    hello davinci2, please right-click any bookmark where this is happening, go to ''properties'' and make sure that they are not set up to open in the sidebar.

  • How do you rearrange photos in a folder by file name?

    How do you rearrange photos in a folder by file name on an ipad?

    I don't believe it's possible under the standard "Photos" app (built-in) in iOS.
    However, there appear to be many downloadable apps that will allow you to do this. Search the App Store for something like "photo sort".
    You may also want to leave Apple your feedback in regards to this at:

    new user...how do you drag or move or copy a file or folder from the desktop to an external drive?  I have tried dragging and copy/pasting.

    My guess the problem you are running into is the drive is formatted for a PC as NTFS. OS X can read files from NTFS however it cannot write to it. Check the formatting on the drive, if it's NTFS then it should be reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), you can use Disk Utility to do this.
    If you still have a PC and want to share the EHD with the PC and Mac please read MacWorld's Share an external drive between a Mac and a PC article.

  • How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

    How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

    I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
    Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
    pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

  • How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time?

    How do you highlight multiple documents rapidly, rather than having to click on the document and on "command" one at a time? Right now, when I'm trying to highlight documents to export, I have to click on each document individually. Is there a way to highlight one document while scrolling down the list until all desired documents are highlighted? I would like to rapidly be able to do this to save time when I am exporting or saving multiple files from my documents to an external drive, CD-Rom or cloud storage.

    Click on the first item
    Hold the Shift key
    Click on the Last Item.
    All the items in between will be selected.

  • How do you select multiple files to drag

    How do you select multiple files to drag from one folder to another? Is there a command?

    Open the folder which has the contents you want to transfer.  Press COMMAND 'A' and then all of the data should be highlited in blue.  Drag it to the new folder.
    If only certain files are to be transferred, then you have to select them (COMMAND 'A')  individually and the drag them as a group to the new location.

  • How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac?

    How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac? Seems this should be a preferences choice.

    When you share your library between users, you may run into permission and ownership problems, if both users are editing the Aperture library and not only reading it. To avoid that, it helps to put the Aperture library onto a separate disk or a separate partion of your hard drive. For s separate partition or disk you can enable the "ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then all users can access the library as owners of this library.
    You might try to put the aperture library into a shared folder on your mac, but that has caused problems recently, i.e. when the library also contains video files.
