How to "get info" on collection...

There is something I want to know how to do that I use to do when I was on a Windows computer. I know how to right click & 'get info' on a single file, or a small group of them, but the problem is that each file that is highlighted, has it's own pop-up window with the info. Is there a way I could for example, go into my music folder, highlight about 25 songs & see how big of a package it would be to put on a CD, without having 25 separate windows popping up telling me the size of every single one? I know a possibility is to put those 25 songs in there own folder & then 'get info' on that folder, but I find myself doing this kind of action many times a day & making a new folder to move the files into is too time consuming. If anyone has an answer to this problem, please let me know. It would help me out so much. Thank you.

I figured it out. to anyone else who wants to know, Hold CommandOptionI when you have highlighted the items.

  • How to get info from a layer which is  applied  with styles  ?

    How to get info from a  layer  ?  such  as   (  apply  style  or  not , which  effect  have  applied  on  it  etc..)
    I  really  can't  solve  it , Who can hlep me..  By the way , I 'am  using  CS version.  

    xtools/xlib/Styles.js has a set of functions for working with layer styles. I do not know if it works with CS. I wrote it several years ago for either CS or CS2. If this doesn't work, then nothing will. The script retrieves a layer's style by saving it to disk then parsing the file for the desired ActionDescriptor.
    There is a function at the bottom of the file that tests the Styles.js API.
    Styles.test = function() {  var doc = app.activeDocument;
      var layer0 = doc.artLayers[0];
      var gdesc = Styles.getLayerStyleDescriptor(doc, layer0);
      if (!gdesc) {
        alert("There is no layer style associated with the layer");
        return;
    //   this will set the layer style to another layer.
    //   var layer1 = doc.artLayers[1];
    //   Styles.setLayerStyleDescriptor(doc, layer1, gdesc);
      if (!gdesc.hasKey(cTID('FrFX'))) {  // look for a stroke effect
        return;
      var frfx = gdesc.getObjectValue(cTID('FrFX'));
      if (!frfx.hasKey(cTID('Clr '))) {   // look for the color
        return;
      var clr = frfx.getObjectValue(cTID('Clr '));
      // we should really check that the objectType is RGBC
      var r = clr.getDouble(cTID('Rd  '));
      var g = clr.getDouble(cTID('Grn '));
      var b = clr.getDouble(cTID('Bl  '));
      if (r == 0 && g == 0xFF && b == 0xFF) {
        return;
      clr.putDouble(cTID('Rd  '), 0);
      clr.putDouble(cTID('Grn '), 0xFF);
      clr.putDouble(cTID('Bl  '), 0xFF);
      frfx.putObject(cTID('Clr '), cTID('RGBC'), clr);
      gdesc.putObject(cTID('FrFX'), cTID('FrFX'), frfx);

  • How to get info from a .class file at run time? thanks for help

    I need to get methods and properties (variables) from a .class file at run time.
    as u know, javap.exe can do that in an independent way. but i need to get info at run time once the .class or packeges have been changed, javap is not suitable in the case.
    i try to read data directly from .class file but it's hard to know the file format.
    e.g. a class looks like (java file):
    class MyClass extends Frame
    int i0;
    String s0;
    public String getName()
    if the file is compiled to .class file, how to get properties (variables: i0,s0) and methods String getName() from the .class file by an applicaton at run time?
    Doclet is not suitable for speed reason, it is too slow to get right info in right format.
    Thanks for any help, please write a little bit more in detail if you know.

    Use the Java Reflection API. Have a look at the Reflection section of the Java Tutorial located at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/reflect/index.html

    thx,
    the example below shows some basic information.
    Display myDisplay = Display.getDisplay(this);
    Displayable dis = myDisplay.getCurrent();
    int high = dis.getHeight();
    int width = dis.getWidth();
    boolean isCol = myDisplay.isColor();       
    int nubCol = myDisplay.numColors();more detailed information about model, aren't available through the standard api, on blackberry's there some restricted apis that provide these device-type and other detailed information...
    for more basic information, just look at the class-methods from display and displayable...

  • Marydee-You asked me about resizing apps for jpeg images & how 2 get info

    Marydee- You asked me about resizing apps for jpeg images. And you also asked how to get photo info for each image in iphoto
    Here's what I found in the iPhoto6 Help Menu:
    Showing a photo's image and camera information
    iPhoto stores EXIF information with each photo in your library. This information includes the photo's image size, the date and time it was taken, and the type of camera it was taken on, as well as important exposure information, such as the shutter speed, aperture, and film ISO.
    To show image and camera information:
    Select the photo and choose Photos > Get Info.
    You can also see a photo's title, date taken, rating, format, and comments by clicking the Information button in the bottom-left corner of the iPhoto window.
    Also please take a look at these prior discussions in iPhoto Forum/s:

  • How does Get-Info manage ext disk access & permission

    I was having a terrible time today trying to back up my HD to an external drive. I was using SuperDuper. The SD dialog box allowed me to choose 2 of my ext drives as targets. But the drive I preferred was 'greyed out'. I couldn't select.
    So, I thought that perhaps I didn't have read-write permission for it. I pulled up a Get Info dialog box, and this is how it is configured (see below).
    My user name doesn't even appear in the Sharing and Permissions box.  Nor do I see the little check box which asks IGNORE OWNERSHIP.
    I clicked on the little padlock icon and entered my password. But I still couldn't change the configuration. I just wanted to back up to that one disk named 2tb Boot-backup. Nothing more. The drive is a boot drive, incidentally. But I was running the OS on my main HD (iMac).
    Frustrated at this (the Missing Manual didn't help), I gave up and reinstalled Mavericks on that ext drive. It fixed the problem, at the cost of 2 1/2 hours.
    And I'm not any wiser about how Mavericks controls access. Screen shots below tell the story. My User Name does not appear in the Sharing list. Please teach me.  Where is David Pogue when you really need him?

    For a very long time before making my purchase choice, I neurosed about the processing power demands if Aperture. Few folks at MacRumors knew what specs would suffice. I must have exchanged 15 posts over there and learned little.
    At the time I had a 2007 iMac with 6Gb or RAM. I borrowed Aperture from a friend and played with it. Knowing that would I made a computer purchase from the Apple Store, free softeware would come with it. I prefer to be play straight. Not because of fears of the 'software pirate police.' I want the support and documentation.
    By having the actual program loaded in my box, I began paying watching the Aperture Tutorials on the Apple Support website. In the case of Aperture, there is a whole lot to learn. A huge amount. Maybe because it was my first PP and DSLR experience. It took a lot of time to get comfortable.
    Eventually, I discovered more AP tutorials on YouTube. And then, I found the so-called Silver Bullet. The Aperture forumlll. The answer I wanted was neither simple nor straightforward. But I was able to decide on the right Apple machine, with an adequate CPU, GPU and RAM.
    Aperture processes some function in the CPU. It processes others in the GPU. And RAM undergoes heavy pressure only at certain times.  While 'Importing' RAW files from an SD card, the CPU works hard. It is best to have clock speeds of at least 3.2Ghz. Along with the image, Aperture will import the embedded camera preview in Jpeg format. Things go faster if you select to import the file and preview. Regardless, camera previews are small and low resolution. Aperture then favors generating its own hi-res JPEG for use will browsing your library of photos.
    Editing an image, which is called an 'Adjustment' in the program doesn't take nearly as much processing power as one would expect. Aperture is a non-destructive program. The original RAW file is never touched. All the changes are merely tacked on and are reflected on the screen or when saved as 'Versions' only. The version is tiny compared to the master file.  A good metaphor would be baking. You might start out with a Lemon Cake in the oven. But then you put Chocolate frosting on top. The result looks and tastes different. But it is always a Lemon Cake.
    The GPU then takes over. Late generation GPU with at least 1000Mb of video ram, 32-bit color depth would be minimum. The NIVIDEA Geoforce GT 755 satisfies those demands. Though if I ever start playing with Video instead of Sill, I might wish for 64-bit color space.
    I probably have some of the details mixed up. But the fundamentals given are what I heard. At least one of the responders on the Aperture forum was on Apple team that wrote the software. That's all I know, and I'm not trying to get anyone to 'change religions'. SSD ain't going to make my image editing improve. Incidentally, on my iMac, Aperture loads in about 4 seconds.

    Hi All,
    I'm working on an application which should be able to take multi-language input (especially chinese, japanese, and korean).
    When we type something in Chinese/Japanese, there will be Composition and Candidate Window popped up. I want to know whether there is a way to get/set some attributes/info about those windows.
    Specifically, I want to be able to position the Composition/Candidate Window anywhere I want...
    I've tried the active client tutorial for the on-the-spot and below-the-spot input, but I still haven't find a way to get a 'handle' to the windows...
    Can anyone help? Thanks in advanced :)

    I do not think the individual temp file percentages is of much use. What you usually want to know is how much of the temporary tablespace is in use and how much is available.
    For that I think you want to compare current total usage information that can be found in v$sort_segment against total available for usage data that can be found in dba_temp_files to get the percentage of available temporary file space that is in use.
    I quickly put together the following. See if either is on any use in constructing the information you really want.

  • How to get info about updates' repo and versions, including AUR pkgs

    I'm writing a little tool in python that checks for updates and displays notification in gnome about available updates. I'm doing this by syncing database to custom directory with:
    pacman -Syb /custom/dir
    and then getting list of updates with
    pacman -Qub /custom/dir
    I do it this way because I don't want to sync my real pacman database until I'm actually installing or updating packages. I then get current version and repo of the listed packages with:
    yaourt -Q | grep "list\|of\|packages"
    It's quite long and seemingly wasteful procedure, but an even bigger issue is that I don't know how to do the same thing with packages from AUR. Looking at the yaourt's man pages I see no option to sync database into a custom directory.
    Any suggestions?

    Camus wrote:
    The author of that blog post used cower instead of yaourt, but I don't think cower allows me to sync AUR database into custom dir either. Or am I missing something? I don't how yaourt and cower sync AUR database anyway.
    I actually already wrote such notifier for gnome in bash. But I want to display more info and I want to include AUR packages.
    The perfect tool in my situation would be something that allows me to sync official and AUR databases into custom dir and then displays list of updates with:
    -name of package
    -current version
    -updated version
    -repo
    I can currently do all of the above, but just with official repos and not as elegantly as I want.
    Not sure what you mean by 'sync AUR database' (no such thing exists as it does for the binary repos), but cower will let you download to wherever you want.

    I have noticed that this has taken over from the online product information button.
    I was wondering how do I know now when there is an update availabe for Toshiba specific software and hardware?

    To be honest if the system runs well und stabile you don't need any updates. On my one and half year old notebook I still use original preinstalled OS (recovery image) without any Toshiba specific updates. All I have installed are Microsoft updates.
