How to get cool dock folder features?
I was in the Apple store yesterday and was messing around with some of the Macbook Pro's they have there.
I clicked on the Microsoft Office folder that the computer had on its dock, and when it opened up, it didn't open up the standard way (a box with all the word apps); it opened up in an extended slightly curved line with all of the office apps making up the curved line.
Does anyone know how to get that to happen with any folder?
It was also happening with other folders, not just the microsoft office one.
Any help would be appreciated!
Kappy,
Thank you for your resopnse.
When I CTRL click or RIGHT click, the only options for "View Content As" is Grid, List, or Automatic; nothing for fan.
Do you or anyone know why this is?

How to get the enclosing folder of an Application?
Ok. re-visiting my Applescript to compare installed apps versus a list of predefined apps... here is my test code so far:
set appsPath to (path to applications folder)
tell application "Finder"
set appList to name of every application file of entire contents of folder appsPath
end tell
set theApps to {"iMovie.app", "Microsoft Excel", "Microsoft Excel.app", "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional.app", "Adobe After Effects CS4.app", "ColorEyes Display Pro.app", "Corel Painter X.app", "DiskTracker 2.3.2", "EPSON Scan.app", "Flash 8.app", "Product Ingest.app", "Product Tag.app", "Art Ingest.app", "TextWrangler.app", "Toast Titanium.app", "Suitcase Fusion 2.app", "Suitcase Fusion 3.app", "Fetch.app"}
repeat with anApp in theApps
set vers to version of (application anApp)
-- get parent path of anApp!!!!
if (parentFolder is equal to "Applications" or parentFolder is equal to "Utilities") then
set parentFolder to ""
end if
display alert anApp & ": Version: " & vers & " " & parentFolder
end repeat
The only thing I'm stuck on is how to get the parent folder of anApp. Basically we use several versions of software here that are not easily identifiable by the version attribute. However their enclosing folder has all the versioning info I need (e.g.: MS Excel 04's vers would be 110113, but the enclosing folder is "Microsoft Office 2004", and some departments get Office 2008, Office 2011, etc., so I need a human-friendly way to get the right versions)
I don't know if the "if" statement to check whether the parent is Applications or Utilities is correct as I haven't gotten that far in testing. I'm only interested in getting the parent of apps that have parent folder that is a sub-folder of Applications or Utilities.
Basically what I am trying to do here is write a text file containing all departmental apps, homefolder sizes, relevant partition sizes, etc. and spit it out at the tech responsible for migrating a user to a new mac (display alert is just convenient for testing purposes). In the past we've had too many "missed" items in QC like wrong apps installed, or wrong versions, or data not copied over properly, etc. So this way they can run this on the old system beforehand and the new system after, line everything up and check off if it matches. This is just a snippet...
TIA!

You must use the bundle identifier instead of the name
Here a example :
set theApps to {"com.microsoft.excel", "com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro", "com.barebones.textwrangler", "com.roxio.Toast", "com.fetchsoftworks.Fetch"}
repeat with anApp in theApps
tell application "Finder" to tell (application file id anApp)
set vers to version
set parentFolder to name of its container

if parentFolder is in {"Applications", "Utilities"} then set parentFolder to ""

Anyone know how to get the downloads folder icon to appear in the dock?
I accidentally dragged the downloads icon out of the dock and I can't figure out how to get it back there. Any suggestions? thanks!
Sometimes you have to be a bit "forceful" with your drag, especially if the Dock is at the bottom--almost as if you are dragging the folder thru the Dock and off the bottom edge of the monitor.

How to get the personal folder size
Hi,
I'm trying to develop a method for define the maximum size of personal documents folder. I'm changing the Upload Command, and I want to know if its possible to get the current size of the personal documents folder for the user that is trying to upload the document.
For this moment, I've got the current UserID, and I have created an RID with the path "userhome/UserID/Personal Documents", but now I don't know how to get the size of this folder!!!!
Thanks to all.

How to get back "DCIM" folder and lost photos?
Do you know something about “DCIM” folder? Yesterday, I just accidentally deleted this folder and found all my phone photos disappeared. Can I get back this folder, especially the inner phone photos? Do you have any idea? I need your help!
In your case, immediately stop using this phone memory card in case of further data loss and then, try to use take chances with some data recovery programs.
I have ever had some data recovery success with the guidance of this video tutorial.
Of course, also learn a lesson to make data backups all the time.
I hope these words work for you. -
How to Get A Default Folder View That Overrides Other Settings?
Hi Thanks for checking my question. Now I have a default folder view that display things nicely every time I open finder. But whenever I attach a external drive or a card reader or connect to a networked drive, my default setting is overridden by all the previous folder views I had for those hard drives/cards/network locations. Is there a way to use my folder view settings in the highest priority, so that whatever I opened in finder (local, external or remote) will show itself in the same manner?
Any enlightenment is appreciated.Actually the view I get from opening a folder seems to depend on HOW I opened it as well. If I clicked finder on the dock and navigate to my Downloads folder I get the view I want, but if I opened Downloads folder by clicking its dock icon (as a stack I guess?) the view is the same old view I got before I changed my default folder view. How can I fix this so I may have a very consistent-looking finder window?
Thanks. -

How to get Did you mean feature visible - WP configuration done

How to get the old search feature back on my calendar
Prior to the latest update I could hit the search symbol and all my calendar events would appear in date order and I could scroll through them. Now I have to open each day on its own to see what is scheduled. Any way to get the older search version back. I dislike this one immensely.
The search button (magnifying glass) in the 7.1 Calendar is just the search all by itself. Previously to 7.1 (in 7.0.X) the 'List View' was embedded in the Search button. With iOS 7.1, you should have a new button to the left of the Magnifying Glass that allows you to view your Calendar in list view while still being able to access all the other features including search.

How do get my dock icons to zoom in when I roll my mouse over them?
My friend's iBook does this. You know when you roll the cursor over an icon it gets super-sized?
Hi pianoorlando!
You can also turn Magnification on or off, from the contextual menu, by selecting one of those options, in Dock ▶.

How to get list of HTML5 features used by a Edge Project
Hi All,
Is there a way for me to know what all features of HTML5 does my Edge project actually use.
I know there are a lot of sites which tests what all HTML5 features are supported by a browser, but I want to know which all features are being used by a edge project.
Thannks in advance.GenericPerson1958 wrote:
I created a edge project, it has a couple of animated rectangles and some text, I publish this project.
I suspect that this project does not use any HTML5 features and should be able to work in down level browsers just fine.
Is there a easy way to test/verify this?
As far as I am aware the only html5 element ever 'natively' used (anyone correct me if I overstate) is that the outputted result (.html file) is html5 encoded doctype declaration.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
....... and so on
Having that inplace, armed with a modern browser (modern is the operative word) then the project is html5 enabled. You can can employ any html5 property (examples here http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_intro.asp) into your Edge project.
Your statement above is half & half: though you may never utilize a html5 element (like, canvas, video or audio) the doctype of the resulting file is still html5
<!DOCTYPE html>
So you may still need to employ a fallback for older browsers. I think other factors are also involved, though, aside from just html5. It's the combination of html5, jquery and CSS3.
