Mac OS X Finder cover flow mode, how to avoid unselecting following file after deleting

Hi,
I'm trying to organize thousands of pictures which involves deleting lots of consecutive files while I am viewing preceding and following picture. I found Finder is the most suitable tool. But one problem I face is that once I deleted a file using Command+Delete key, the next file get unselected and I cannot use the same shortcut key. I remember doing this task without a problem. I don't know what went wrong. Anyone any idea? FYI, I am using Mac OS X 10.7.5.
Thanks for your help in advance.

1. I work in the web design field, so I am using Dreamweaver and dealing with images constantly. If I am on a Pc and go file>open and within that dialogue box I still have all the functions of windows explorer. I can see how big a file is by right clicking and going properties. I can the file's full path.I can see when it was modified.I can even open that file (say if it is a jpeg) and edit it.
This is all within the program's open/save/export dialogue box.
On a Mac, I have no right click within a dialogue box, I can't go "apple I" to see the file properties. The only way I know is to find it in the finder. But this is an another step. I certainly can't right click. This is frustrating.
In a Cocoa application (such as TextEdit) in Leopard, the Open dialogue box allows a choice of displaying files as Icons, as line items, or in columns. If you select Columns, then an image such as a jpg or png shows the size (although only as 4KB 8KB etc), the kind, the created date, modified date, last opened, and the dimensions in pixels. Plus there is a More Information box that brings up the usual Inspector (Command I also works).
I suspect it is more a matter of what Dreamweaver is doing than whether that facility is available in OS X. Since I don't have Dreamweaver, I can't comment on how it manages.
2. The other thing regarding this is apple's copying and pasting ability.
I would be looking at Apple's Smart Folders to group items. Apple just seem to be doing things in a different manner. I kept running into trouble when I tried to force things to work the way they did in Windows. This was a particular problem with applications that are basically Windows oriented, so I ended up not using Adobe or Microsoft. On the other hand, I am not a web designer, and hardly use photos on the web at all. So far I haven't found any web application that I feel I could recommend for a web designer.

Malware - Safari users - disable Open"safe" files after downloading

For those not aware there's some malware floating around which goes by the name of MacDefender and other variants.
It's a scam that may show a page suggesting 'virus' infection on the user's machine and/or download an installer file.
Visiting malicious sites or apparently just browsing some Google Images searches will automatically download a zipped file. If the Safari Preference to Open "safe" files after downloading is checked it will unzip and run the installer for the malware.
While installing requires user intervention to click through the installation, the most recent variant will apparently install for a user without needing an administrator password.
Once installed the malware apparently opens unsavoury websites randomly and prompts for credit card details to remove them.
This is unpleasant scareware to steal your credit card info.
Beware.

Safari won't open docx files after download

The "open safe files after download" button is checked. I unchecked it, shutdown safari, rechecked it and it still isn't working.

How do I get that file type on the "safe to open" list?
I'm not sure there is any way to do that, and if there is, I wouldn't recommend it, because Word files are not necessarily safe to open -- they can include harmful macros. You can try the suggestion linked below, but I haven't tested it.
OSX 10.6 Download Assessment Safe Files

What makes a file open automatically after download? I'm trying to stop it. I don't know whether Firefox or Sumatra controls this.

When I downloaded a .pdf file, it opens automatically after download. I want to put it back to where I have to click on it in the download window in order to open it.
This happens with every .pdf file I download.
I am using Sumatra 1.5.1 to view pdf files.

Change the '''Action''' for that file type.

My Safari can´t open .dmg files after downloading

I updated to Mac OS X 4.9. But since this update, Safari cannot open .dmg files after downloading! On 10.4.8 it was not a problem. What can I do?
eMac G4 PPC Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Darn...I thought that would do the trick.
Given the other problems you mention, more and more, it seems a reinstall of the OS, using Archive and Install is going to be necessary. Have you ever done an Archive & Install of the OS? Important you carefully read the description of the process. If you are uncertain, I find the Take Control Upgrading to Tiger E-zine to be a very helpful guide.
Once you reinstall the OS, then you can upgrade to 10.4.8 using the combo update, repairing permissions via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder when complete.
One question: Not sure why you have run into all these problems on the 10.4.9 upgrade. It worked without problem for me. Anything unusual happen during the install?

Unchecking 'Open "safe files after downloading' not working

After unchecking "Open 'safe files after downloading'", files open anyway and do not download to the specified directory (Safari 2.0.4). Instead, I am forced to preview them, and have to manually save. I had this option unchecked on my Powerbook G4 (Safari 1.3.2), and it worked without problems. Any suggestions?

I'm geussing you're using Safari as your internet browser? Try Firefox as a browser. It will allow you to view PDF documents in the browser itself, without downloading the document to your Download folder and it doesn't require Adobe to do so.

"Open safe files after downloading" option stopped working

Hello,
the safari "Open safe files after downloading" stopped working. Even when is checked, it doesn't open anything, no jpgs, no dmgs, no zips. Not sure what could've happened. I installed the new Safari 4.03 update and Speed download today. Any ideas what may be causing this problem? Thank you

Hi Steve
One suggestion is to create via the Finder a specific download folder for your attachments. Then in the Finder, drag the folder to the sidebar. Now in Mail, when you save the attachment, simply click on the sidebar location to facilitate the save. Then, go to the Finder, click on the sidebar folder for easy access to the attachment. Remember too, Mail attachment save feature gives you the option of directly importing any images into iPhoto.

How do I remove remove "important after download instruction"

Almost every time I open a new link, this tab opens: "important after download instruction". I want to stop it. How?

Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How do I manage open files in Server 2012 without resorting to 3rd party application?

How do I manage open files in Server 2012 without resorting to 3rd party application?
I cannot find the Mange open files in FSRM.
Thanks

Wouldn't it make sense to place it in the server manager / shares section?
I mean, second to creating or finding a share, isn't this what most users would be after?
For like 20 years we've been trained to right click to find stuff Microsoft is hiding, and right click don't do nothin' here. You gotta go hunting under tools. Or, forget the new half-baked interface with half of what you need and go old school,
direct to Start - Computer..Right Click.. whoops... that doesn't exist anymore.....
Drool.........drool.............Find that hiding, blinking start button in a RDP session, click start after three trys, and TYPE IN "Computer Management" . Right Click, Pin it to your desktop, pin it to the start screen, pin it to the taskbar, send
it to OneNote, and upload it to skydrive so you can find it again, then get back to what you were doing....to find the cottin' pickin open files and kick your users off so you can have your way with the server.

Do I not get the "open file after publishing" checkbox with the trial version?

I owned the Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional version on my pc, and recently bought a Mac. Do I not have the option to "Open file after publishing" checkbox with the trial version? Do I have to repurchase the whole program to get that?

uninstall.
download from prodesigntools.com.
if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: New Adobe Lightroom 6 (CC) Direct Download Links – Free Trials | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

Use Office for Mac 2011. If you have it, open one of the programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and do Help > Check for Updates from the menu.
Otherwise, purchase Office 365 and use that.
