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 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 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?

  • How do I change the default folder that opens when uploading a file to the internet from my mac? (at the moment it automatically defaults to 'Downloads' folder)

    How do I change the default folder that opens when uploading a file to the internet from my mac? (at the moment it automatically defaults to 'Downloads' folder)
    For example...
    I am on a webiste and wish to upload a photo.
    I click on select file on the website

    How do I change this?

    I am on a webiste and wish to upload a photo.
    I click on select file on the website
    You are attempting to download the picture to your computer not uploading photo to the website if I am understanding you correctly.
    To change the download direction, you must do so through your browser's Preferences.  If you are using Safari, hopefully, someone who uses Safari will help you and/or post over in their forums.  I do not use Safari.

  • 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.

  • Setting a default folder view for all folders in Windows 7

    How do you set up a default folder view of "List" for ALL the folders in Windows 7 including the optical drive?  
    Artoo

    I just installed windows 7. Are you seriously telling me that i now have all folders with mp3s in them AUTOMAGICALLY (THANKS FOR THE HANDY HELPING HAND THERE MICROSOFT!!!) set to some designers whim of what an mp3 folder "SHOULD" look like?
    Well i was going to write a big rant, and indeed did, but then i was doing some more research and it seems like i just made everyones day and solved the problem (partially). Or well THIS guy did:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16694/customize-the-five-windows-folder-templates/
    After you’ve clicked OK, visit some of the other folders in your file system.  You should see that most have taken on these new settings.
    What we’ve just done, in effect, is we have customized the General Items template.  This is one of five templates that Windows Explorer uses to display folder contents.  The five templates are called (in Windows 7):
    General Items
    Documents
    Pictures
    Music
    Videos
    When a folder is opened, Windows Explorer examines the contents to see if it can automatically determine which folder template to use to display the folder contents.  If it is not obvious that the folder contents falls into any of the last four templates,
    then Windows Explorer chooses the General Items template.  That’s why most of the folders in your file system are shown using the General Items
    template.
    Changing the Other Four Templates
    If you want to adjust the other four templates, the process is very similar to what we’ve just done.  If you wanted to change the “Music” template, for example, the steps would be as follows:
    Select a folder that contains music items
    Apply the existing Music template to the folder (even if it doesn’t look like you want it to)
    Customize the folder to your personal preferences
    Apply the new template to all “Music” folders
    A fifth step would be:  When you open a folder that contains music items but is not automatically displayed using the Music template, you manually select the Music template for that folder.
    Anyways, sorry that explanation doesnt do it justice. I have spent waaay too much time trying to figure this out already. Also that link doesnt say how to 1) copy templates (are they file or registry based?, didnt do research) 2) if you can distable templates
    or the automatic re-templating of folders.
    THAT is what i want to know! as it is much more maintance then its actually worth...
    but once i had set 5 default types to, the exact same thing... it now doesnt matter if it automagically switches it. SUCK IT MS AUTOTUNE!!!
    Its bloody hard to frame this question too. What can you say about this? "folder changes to mp3" "customize folder types windows 7" "windows 7 folder changes to mp3" "dont automatically change folders to mp3" "how
    to change mp3 details column for good" "automatically change column order win 7 mp3"
    The search that actually solved it:
    "do not apply default template to mp3 windows 7"
    good luck, this worked for me!
    EDIT: also i just noticed that neonr already answered this above. i just didnt read it carefully enough. anyways i guess i will leave this and mark his as answer.

  • Change default folder view?

    Hi. I was wondering if there was a way to change the default folder view. For instance, I'd like it so that when I create a new folder or open a new window it would be automatically in list view mode, and with the specific columns I want. Is this possible?

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

    When I am connected to my home wifi, it says I am connected but the 4G icon doesn't go away.  How can I make that go away when I am connected?

    When I'm at my home, and on my Wifi, my 4G icon on my LG G2 is still present. No big deal. If the bits can flow via WiFi, that's what they'll do.
    You might try (if you really MUST shut off the cellular radio):
    Settings, Network Connections and More networks. Select Mobile Networks and uncheck Mobile data and data roaming.
    Not sure if that will work - but give it a try.

  • 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 to keep links from being broken when moved or file is later split

    Which is the best way to make sure that a link to another pdf file is not broken when a file is emailed or moved to a new location off of the server?  Should you link a destination or use the hyperlink feature?
    If the links are created and the file then has to be split, will the links be retained in the split files?

    PDF moved —
    PDF#1 has a link to PDF#2. To keep this link functional after putting PDF#1 elsewhere:
    --| Relocate PDF#2 with PDF#1; maintaining the same path to the target of the link (which is PDF#2).
    --| Or, use Acroat's link tool to modify the link in PDF#1 so that you establish a functional path to wherever PDF#2 is at.
    For email, if PDF#1 & PDF#2 are adjacent to one another under some folder/directory & then linked you'd want to email both files together. Both PDFs can be saved &, provided they stay adjacent, the links will work.
    PDF split —
    PDF#3 has internal links (e.g., a link from PDF page 1 to some other PDF page in PDF#3).
    You split PDF#3 by extracting the first 5 PDF pages & now have PDF#4.
    Any links in PDF#4, to PDF#3 pages past page 5 will not function.
    Use Acrobat's Link tool to modify the link such that it goes from PDF#4 to the desired page in PDF#4.
    n.b., There are 3rd party plug-ins for Acrobat that can facilitate bookmark and link management.
    A web search will provide a listing.
    Be well...

  • How to Maintain Default materials for clearing house fee (IS Oil) O3RECH1

    Hi,
    I am an ABAPer. I have come accross one issue in Transaction O3RECH1 (Create CH Settlement/ Transmission).
    I am getting error. as No Material Exist. .. In debugging i came to know that material is empty since there is no data in field FEEMATNR  of table OIRECH_APPL.
    Table OIRECH_APPL --> SSR PC:  Clearing House application data  (IS-Oil SSR).
    In that there is one filed FEEMATNR --> SSR PC: Default materials for clearing house fee.
    Can any one please let me know How to maintain it.
    Answer will be rewarded.

    Interesting requirement. This can be achieved through Search String as suggested by Mr. Shanid.
    Try to find a text in the note to payee line for bank charges for creating a search string.
    For Example. See below note to payee line and assume this line for bank charges.
    16,455,130155,0,5/3 BANKCARD SYS  CH,,5/3 BANKCARD SYS  CHARGBACKS.
    Identify a text which should always come with this line for every EBS file for bank charges. Assume here "BANKCARD".
    Now go to T-code OTPM.
    Click on create
    Srch strg name:  Bank Charges
    Description:     Bank Charges
    Search String: BANKCARD ( Based on this text system will search your not to payee line)
    Once you press enter, you will get mapping details on the left side with target field "BANKCARD". Now remove the BANKCARD from target field and put there cost center which you will post for one house bank. Save the data.
    Now move to second step.
    Click on Search String Use.
    Put your company code,
    House bank(mandatroy in your case).
    Interpretation Algorithm( same as you maintained in OT83 for posting rule with external transaction type).
    Search String: BANKCARD.
    Target Field: Cost Center.
    Save.
    Sorry I am not getting option to attach screenshot in SCN now. Dont know why.
    Let us know if you have any doubts.
    Hi Mr. Shanid,
    Correct me if I am wrong.

    Put the button click into an action listener and build the new frame there. The code I have below isn't exactly what you're doing (it's amazingly oversimplified), but it's probably similar enough to get your wheels turning in the right direction.
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    public class sample
         public static void main(String[] args)
              JFrame frame = new JFrame("Sample");
              frame.setSize(400,400);
              Container content = frame.getContentPane();
              content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
              frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
              final JTextField text = new JTextField(10);
              content.add(text);
              JButton button = new JButton("Send");
              content.add(button);
              frame.setVisible(true);
              button.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
                   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
                        JFrame myframe = new JFrame("Results");
                        myframe.setSize(200,200);
                        Container mycontent = myframe.getContentPane();
                        mycontent.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
                        String mytext = text.getText();
                        JLabel label = new JLabel();
                        label.setText(String.valueOf(mytext));
                        mycontent.add(label);
                        myframe.setVisible(true);
