How to have individual folder view?

Hello,
I would like the folders in OSX to remember individually the view, whether it is list, column or cover flow.
E.g. I would like to view my pictures folder always in coverflow whereas my music folder should always display in list view.
How can I do that?

In the window you want to change set up your view, then press COMMAND-J. Check the box to always open in that view (top of the dialog.)

How to have "new folder" command automatically select "untitled folder"?

How to have "new folder" command highlight name change?
On a couple of my Macs, when I give a "new folder" command, the "untitled folder" name is immediately selected/highlighted for immediate entry of the new name for the folder.
On other Macs I have, when I give a "new folder" command, I must then manually select the "untitled folder" name before I can type in the new name.
Does anyone know how to set my Finder so that when I give a "new folder" command it will be immediately highlighted/selected for entry of the new name?
I'm using the latest OS-X on all of my Macs.

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
All my Macs select the name in the untitled folder for immediate renaming.
Exactly what happens when your Mac does not allow immediate renaming? The only way this happens is if the folder loses focus, which can happen if another app is running and takes focus, or if you click the mouse somewhere.

How to link individual picker view selections to download an individual file from a website or other location such as dropbox using Xcode?

Alright, the question I have has to deal with how to link an app to a website to download files. How, or is it even possible to link individual picker view selections to download an individual file from a website or other location such as dropbox using xcode. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but if anyone can help or can send a link to a place that can, I would greatly appreciate it!

I am not getting anywhere with deploying my application or
applet.
I have set up my bc4j project. It contains all my VO info,
links, application module. (proj a)
I then have another project with DbInfo in it(has all my rowset
info), Multiple Frames, and my Applet.java file.
Actually I have an Applet.java file and a Application.java file
because I was seeing if both/either worked. Anyway they seem the
same, except for that extra window that comes up when you run the
applet.
I follow the steps in the oracle directions (from earlier post).
And all seems ok. But at ---->
[*] Select the subdirectory under myhtml where your applet's HTML
file
is located, and enter the directory path of the 'staging'
directory you
created in step 3 above, if different from the default.</li>
[*]Select the HTML files that JDeveloper created to run your
applet.</li>
[*]Select all of the Java source files in your project that make
up the
applet.</li>
I have no HTML file associated with my applet, at least that I
know of.
So do I need to create one, or should it of been done
automatically.
Also, I trying to figure out what will be the best way to deploy
my project. Applet or stand alone application is what my first
choices have been so far. I have read that there is some issues
with applets being served from a different server than the
database. So a stand alone application was my front runner, but
I haven't gotten either way to work yet.

How can I make folder view the default view when I open Organizer?

I just bought Adobe Elements Photshop and Premier 11. I spent 2 to 3 hours getting my picture video library into Adobe's organizer. I had some problems with duplicate picture (that I wanted to be there - so I had to rename them) and a couple pictures with corrupted metadata. After I got all that sorted out I am a bit miffed about the folder view on Adob'es organizer.
I love that you can switch to folder view - since this is how I have been organizing my pictures for a long time. I would like to continue organizing this way for now until I get a grasp on the other ways I can organize them in elements. However, every time I close and re-open organizer it switches back to the default view instead of folder view. PLEASE tell me that there is a way to set folder view to the default view! HELP!

Perhaps it’s a design feature to speed up the Organizer launch.
I am sure it is.
- The normal use of the Organizer is not the folder view, it's the thumbnail view with an organization based on categories and folder. That way you should forget completely where your pictures are stored. Anyway, the folder view in the Explorer is not a map of the location of the different bits of your file, it's only a logical representation. That's easy to see when you are doing a defragmentation.
- The folder view is useful even for those using normally the thumbnail view, but that is only for rare cases when you must change the folder organization, for instance moving files to another drive. The folder view is here to prevent you from changing things from the explorer and outside of the Organizer.
- The new folder list view, which you find 'funny' is there to help better organizing using tags. Its huge advantage is that such a view is created extremely quickly by extracting the last subfolder in the media table : it's the way the database sees the folders, based on its own content, totally ignoring the complex folder organization of your disk with media files or any unrelated other kind of data. You should use it in many cases, the main purpose being assigning tags when you have assigned descriptive folder names. I had suggested such a solution to prevent the long standing bugs in the folder view of previous versions.
So yes, the purpose is:
- to speed up switching modes
- to help folder organization fans to migrate to tags organization
- to hopefully get rid of the old folder organization bugs

How do I preserve folder views for future use?

When I open any folder it seems to use the view of the previous folder. In windows 3.1, ME and XP I could set the view for each individual folder and it would be saved for future use. I want the folders at the top of my stored image hierarchy
to show me the list view and the folders below them that contain actual images to show me thumbnails. Instead I have to reset them every time I open them. Am I doing something wrong or have the MS(H)IT people screwed up this OS, too?
I am sending this to "Sandbox forums" because I no idea where to send it. Not one of the choices you offer make any sense to me. I just want to make this benighted software easier to use. If this comes to the worng place please forward
it for me.

How to set default folder view to "list"

Hi guys,
This is regarding Tiger. I poked around in the Finder forum to no avail. Have any of you come up with anything that would force the default folder view to "list" view?
Um, folders, they are found in the gui.
Thanks for any thoughts, scripts, plists, insults welcome, have a Merry Christmas!

"all windows"
Unfortunately that did not work.
While in the Finder from the menu bar go to Finder > Preferences > General tab. See the item "Open new windows in column view" Whatever that is affecting I suppose would be the place to start hacking away on. I haven't investigated that. Would have been nice if Apple added list view in there.
I'll see if I can poke around a bit and find what file gets affected by setting that option. I'll post if I find something.

How to maintain default folder view (broken when leopard clients connect)?

hi there,
we run 10.4 tiger server and have the problem that if 10.5 leopard clients connect to the share their changes to the folder view become the new default for everyone connecting after them. with 10.4 clients the default folder view is looked to the settings of the admin.
is there a way to bring back this feature with 10.5 clients connecting? lock the default folder view of shares?
this question was asked before by andy lowe (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1571877&tstart=45) but never answered.

It's "show view options" in English. Also obtained by typing CMD+J
Those only apply to the top-level folder. Each folder you open uses whatever you've elected to use as the defaults. Select a folder, CMD+J, set the view as you desire, click on Use as Default button. That setting will be used for all windows that you open in the future that have never been opened previously. All other windows that you opened will retain whatever view you previously selected for them.
If you want to reset everything to one view, close all open Finder windows, launch the Terminal app (/Applications/Utilities/), copy & paste this command into the window that pops up,
find ./ -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} \;
hit the return key, quit the Terminal app, restart, open a Finder window, CMD+J, set up the view options as desired, click the Use as Defaults button, and close the view options window. Now, every Finder window you open will have this view.

How to have an album view in a playlist?

Hi,
I have some playlists in iTunes. When i access them on my ATV2, the titles are shown in one large list. I would rather prefer to have an Album view on my ATV2 when i scroll within a playlist. Is this possible and if yes, how?
Thanks,
Paul

This seems to be restricted to iOS devices. I, too, want to be able to play Playlist content by album (which is the way the Playlist was built). This can be done within iTunes, itself. ATV2 and the Remote App do not allow this. So, seems to be a matter of programming.
Would be very useful. For example, I have a Smart Playlist for anything not played within the last 2 years. At my computer, from iTunes, I can play albums within this Playlist. In my easy-chair, via ATV2, no can do--track only. And most of my collection is classical music where album trumps track.

How can I make folder View Options the default in Snow Leopard?

Hi everybody! Here I am, learning to Mac!
When I do a secondary click on an open folder's background and click on +show visualization options+ (actually, +mostrar opciones de visualización+ in spanish), there's an option +set as default+ ( +ajustes por omisión+ ) which, as far as I understood, should change all the rest folder's aspect, as icon's size, font size, background image and so on... but all the rest folder's aspect keep being shown as before, just the folder where I am working changes.
My questions are: if I am wrong with the use of that "ajustes por omisión", what is it for? And how can I personalize the aspect of all folders on my mac?
Thanks for your help

How to auto remember folder view settings in finder. its driving me crazy!

Is there any way i can have finder NOT apply the view settings of the current folder to all folders opened after the current folder. It gets very annoying!

You can't change the overall behavior, but you can customize individual folders so that they will remember to always open in a particular view even if other folders are subsequently opened in a different view.
For each folder you want to "customize," open its Finder window, select the view you want, then type command-J and click the box at the top for "Always open in xxx view". That command refers to "this folder", not "all folders".
Folders that have not been customized in this way will open in the same view that was in effect for the previously opened folder. The box for "Use as defaults" at the bottom of the View Option window does not change this behavior - checking it appears rather to mean: "IF a future new folder is displayed in the same view as this one, THEN that view will have the same internal parameters (text size, etc) as this window does."

How to set default folder view in Outlook PDF Portfolio?

I'm using Acrobat 9.0 within MS Outlook 2007 to create a portfolio of a folder with subfolders. I would like the initial portfolio view to mimic a typical Outlook view with folder list and reading preview pane. I can create said view in the PDF file by splitting the window vertically and clicking my way to the desired folder level. But I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to save those choices as a default under Portfolio Properties or elsewhere. Can anyone offer advice? Thanks.

Can no one help me? No one at all?

Individual Folder View Settings

Hello all
Intel iMac - Leopard 10.5.2
Question: Is it possible to assign different folders their own views? For example I might want my Photos folder to be Icons or Cover Flow but I don't want that setting to be carried into other folders.
I noticed that when I specify a different view by pressing either on the icons on the tool bar or selecting it up top in the menu that the selected settings applies to all folders.

Hi,
As I understand it, using the back/forward toolbar buttons retains the current view selection. It might help to think of the aforementioned setting only applying to newly opened folders. So, for instance, if you used the cmd+up arrow combination to go back up the file hierachy, instead of the back button, that constitutes opening a new folder.
This might not seem entirely logical when you have the toolbar visible, as newly opened folders open in the same window, but if you hide the toolbar and tried using the cmd+up arrow combination, it'll be more obvious.
Hope that helps.

How to have a tree view for value node..

Hi all,
I need to display a tree view for a value node in web ui just like a model node, for a custom view in a pop up. Please guide me how to do this or let me know the process steps.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
while debugging I found that in class CL_BSP_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_TREE , the method GET_T_TABLE the below code is not triigerring for the child node attributes ( to trigger the get method of attribute for value node).
this call method is not triggering at all only for first coulmn its triggering ..
LV_TN ?= ME->NODE_MAPPER->GET_NODE_OBJECT( <LINE>-NODE_KEY ).
    CONCATENATE 'GET_' COMPONENT INTO LV_METHOD.
    TRY.
        CALL METHOD LV_TN->(LV_METHOD)
          EXPORTING
            ATTRIBUTE_PATH = ''
          RECEIVING
            VALUE          = VALUE.
      CATCH CX_ROOT INTO LV_ERROR.
I created the GETTER method inthe class CN01 and CN02. But those methods are not triggered in CALL METHOD LV_TN->(LV_METHOD). Even that class CN02 is having the same methods. Those methods are already Implemented. May I know what was the reason Why those methods are not triggered ( getter method ). With out that Method data will not display in the Tree view. Can anybody tell me the reason why it is not happenning?
.Please find the below .HTM code as well.
<chtmlb:configTree
                      actionsMaxInRow       = "5"
                   id             = "Table1"
                   nodeTable      = "<%= ZTREEVIEW->node_tab %>"
                   table          = "//ZTREEVIEW/Table"
                   noFrame        = "FALSE"
                   personalizable = "TRUE"
                   onCollapseNode = "NODECOLLAPSE"
                   selectionMode = "MULTILINEEDIT"
                   onExpandNode   = "NODEEXPAND"
                   onRowSelection = "select" />
Only one column was triggered another column did not get any value becasue of the above method call fail.. We are not restricted anywhere to display one column value in the output.   Even in Debugging I checked that LV_METHOD is having the method name. CN02 class is also having the same method, But it is not going into the method. It is coming out side. What could be the reason I could not able to understnad.
Please provide me some pointers on the issue....
Thanks in advance..

Change Lion folder view defaults

I seem to have two folder view behaviors in my Lion OS environment. One is what I will call the older view where I can click on the column heading and sort by that column. The other has a row of icons across the top that I have to click on to change things like sort order. How do I make the old behavior pervasive? Not even sure I know why the 'new' behavior happens.

From the "view" menu choose "List View" uncheck in Prefs where you may have checked "Open new windows in column view".

What i can do to resolve the issue thanks in advanced.
I don't have any backup no system restore I also try to rest or restore default view settings but none are working for me.

Hi,
This is default behavior. It is not possible to set Windows Explorer to remember individual folder view settings for folders included in libraries. All libraries and its included folders share the same view.
