How to make a hierarchical list of file/folders like in the Finder

Hi,
I have a hard drive that I'm going to use as a safety backup. I've filled it with files and folders and am going to store it off site. I'd like to retain a list of what I've got on there, for reference.
I can make a complete list of what's on there, with UNIX 'ls -R', but it's huge and you can't encapsulate the folders, it just lists everything. I need a document that reproduces the list of files and folders in the same way that the finder does. Is there any program that does that?
Thanks
Bob

I've seen third-party backup utilities that provide that sort of catalogue interface, but I can't name any off hand.
Yep, I even used to have one, way back in OS 7 thru 8.6 on my 8600. I think it was something from Iomega, they used to give you several free tools, and I believe a catalogue maker was one of them. I think it broke with some version of OS 9, and I got a shareware program called DiskTracker. Both did exactly what is wanted: they would catalog any sort of disk, be it drive, removable media (I had a bunch of Syquest EZDrive cartrides), even CDs. You would open the file in the program, and navigate just like in the Finder. Don't remember just how much information was preserved about files.
Try going to VersionTracker, and do a search on disk inventory or catalog software, I'm sure there are still such things around, though I doubt they would be free.

  • What is the list of file prefixes that make a file appear first in the finder?

    Hi!
    I was just curious :
    What is the list of file prefixes that make a file appear first in the finder?
    For example, files and folders whose names start with "A" will appear before files whose names start with "B",
    but what about a list of characters for files and folders before the letter "A"?
    I'm doing some file organisation, and I need certain things to appear at the top of the list.
    I have noticed that the character-prefixes "0" and "(" seem to make things appear before "A"
    I would like a complete list if there is one available.
    Thank you!

    Pretty much any number or a space character. Punctuation does too, in theory, but I'd advise to limit it to hyphens and underscores. Periods are OK in the middle of file names but you won't be able to start a file name with one at the Finder level since that would actually hide the file.

  • How to make a SELECT LIST READONLY

    Hi,
    I have a form to update the existing values in a table. Primary column is based on a Select List.
    So when user goto update screen they SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE the primary filed(means the value display in the Select List).
    SO to make this one I have make that select list read only. But not like other items even when we make select list read only it still allow user to change the value. So basically read only property not working for select text.
    There are many post in this regading same issue. Some of them recomended to make it disabled. But when we make a item disabled then when user POST that form, Apex not POST any disabled item values. Basically disabled items values not passing next form. So making item dissable also not a solution.
    I have read almost 20 post in here regarrding this and didnt get any solution for this. So please let me know if anyone knows how to make a select list read only (which is working same as read only text boxes, means that value pass when user POST the form).
    Thanks in advance...

    You define a function(this is based aorund jQuery selectors) in the page header like
    <script>
      var makereadonly = function(selector, makeReadonly) {
          $(selector).filter("select").each(function(i){
              var select = $(this);
              //remove any existing readonly handler
              if(this.readonlyFn) select.unbind("change", this.readonlyFn);
              if(this.readonlyIndex) this.readonlyIndex = null;
              if(makeReadonly) {
                  this.readonlyIndex = this.selectedIndex;
                  $(this).css('background-color','#CDCDCD'); //Adds a background colour to readonly item
                  this.readonlyFn = function(){
                      this.selectedIndex = this.readonlyIndex;
                  select.bind("change", this.readonlyFn);
          //For input items
          $(selector).filter("input,textarea").attr('readOnly','readOnly');
          $(selector).filter("input,textarea").css('background-color','#CDCDCD');
    </script>and apply it using a jQuery selector (call it in the "execute on page load" or any other JS code)
      makereadonly('#ITEMNAME1,#ITEMNAME2,#ITEMNAME3',true);Not that all of these methods(that act at the client side) will only prevent the user from modifying it 'normally', they could manipulate these readonly items using Javascript(or using firebug or any tool like that). So its better to make sure that your don't use the item value(from the page) for processing.

    how to make mplayer play 3gp type files ??
    I downloaded a Japanese blue movie by amule, but I cannot play it!

Video playback was never an issue, because 3gp is just a container, the video codec is usually h263 or h264, which are no problem for mplayer.
    Very new versions of FFmpeg have native amr-nb support. I'm not sure if it happened before or after the most recent FFmpeg bump in the repos.

  • How to make an user into Service authenticated user like cmadmin_service

    Hi All,
    I am trying to fetch the list of documents, properties, log on/logoff functionality with an iUser  ex: epuser, through java code.
    The list of docs are presented in the Documents Folder with teh following sample code
                 |
    RID rid = RID.getRID("/documents");
    String userName = "epuser";
    IUserFactory userFactory = UMFactory.getUserFactory();
    com.sap.security.api.IUser userNew;
    userNew = userFactory.getUser(userName);
    com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser user = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(userNew);
    ctx.setUser(user);
    IResource res = null;
    res = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(rid, ctx);
    wnen i am trying to fetch all the docs and the corresponding properties by passing " cmadmin_service " as an user name. i am getting the right results. But when i tried with "epuser " i am getting the output as Service Authentication value false.
    Then i added epuser in the System Principal--->System User. still i am not getting the right results.
    plz help me how to make this epuser as service authenticated user like cmadmin_service user

    Hi phani,
    I have no direct solution but you should check the service permissions of the resources you are trying to fetch. The exception sounds like there is the problem. Go to the Details of the CM-Resource and Select Settings-->Service Permissions.
    Does the epuser has the necessary permissions for your operations?
    Another thing is the way you are creating users:
    The WPUMFactory has a special factory-method for creating service users. Perhaps this is a better aproach:
    WPUMFactory.getServiceUserFactory().getServiceUser(user);
    Best regards,
    Stefan Brauneis

  • I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive.  It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.  How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM.  (BTW - design flaw)

    Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    I have a 27" iMac with 16GB of factory installed SDRAM and 1T harddrive.  It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.  How can I adjust so that all files are managed on the harddrive rather than the SDRAM.  (BTW - design flaw here.)
    Older Macs with a single Harddrive would simply expand OS management on the drive, and I think I understand the new Fusion Drive to do just that, but how do I get this product that I spent a great deal of money on to be more than a pretty screen?

    I was confused by this statement
    It is telling me the harddrive is full and is not functioning correctly.
    OS X manages ram and when you run out, it create swapfiles to extend your ram on the HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The OS itself, takes about 16 gig of space and that too resides on the HDD.  Your 16 gig of RAM is really a temporary space that holds things from the HDD so the processor can work on them.  There is no design flaw between your ram and HDD.  Something else is going on and there are a lot of smart people here to help you figure out what that "something else" is.
    I would do three things.  First I would create a backup, backups are important.  Second, I would reboot into recovery and repair my HDD.  Lastly while still booted in recovery I would repair permissions.
    Can you capture a screen shot of the exact error you are getting?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipad- without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
    In some countries you can redownload some itunes content.

    hello good morning ....how can I have all my PDF files  in Ibooks at the same time in my iPad and my iPhone, Thanks.

    That's exactly how it's going to work. Unless you've set up separate iTunes playlists for your devices, the books will be deposited the books section on iTunes, and will appear as PDFs.
    As Gus2259 said, you can use iCloud or Dropbox, or transport it through iTunes via an attached computer, or even use a cable.
