How to make default settings for a new Finder window ?

Will, i am abit ashamed to ask this question cause it's problaby very basic OSX knowledge.
However, since using 10.0 , i never have find a solution ..
What i want is this:
EVERY new Finder window i open, be it with the keycommand (CMD)+N, or double clicking a Folder a disk icon, has to be shown to me in only 1 way
which i have setup beforehand.
I am talking bout: List view only, with specified columns ("date added" for example etc) in a vast specific order.
For these settings, i open one finder window, setup the "view options" for that window, re-arrange the columns, then do: save as default"
Now, i would say that next time i open a new finder window, (keycommand (CMD)+N, or double clicking a Folder a disk icon), it defaults to the settings i made above.
But nada.
OSX has always intuitive for me but this issue scratches my brains.
Can someone please help ??

Hi Kappy, you are a Hero !
Especially this, which i really didn't know: (quote) : "Note that the configuration will only stick whenever the Finder window is opened on the same directory where it was created"
Very, very helpful !
Even the order of the columns is retained
However, i wish the (CMD)+J settings would apply for ANY Finder window you open, not just ones that are in the same directory.
Cheers and thx again !!

  • How to change default settings for a video generator?

    I'm using a video generator (Lyric Media's Pan Zoom Pro) many times in the same project, and have to change the default settings for each new instance of the generator that I create. I'm wondering if there's any way to change the default settings for a generator (i.e., length of clip, individual slider and checkbox settings in the "controls" tab) so that each new instance automatically has my customized settings when I first open it.
    Thanks.

    That works for the all the controls/filter settings. The clip length still defaults to 10 seconds, but that's OK, since the main thing I was looking for was to change the clip's internal settings. Thanks for your help

  • Make Default Settings for cost element -OKB2

    Hi,
    What is the importance of the this process?
    Please give your views, I have read the information provided by SAP.
    Regards,
    Pankaj

    Hi
    This process is for creating Cost Elements.
    We can create Cost Elements in FS00 by selecting Edit Cost Element and giving Validity Period and Cost Element category.
    We can create Cost Elements in KA01 also.
    In the above 2 processes we can create a single Cost Element only at a time.
    If you want to create more number of Cost Elements at a time, then you need to do the Process of Automatic Creation of Cost Elements, Make Default Settings -->OKB2 , Create Batch Input Session -->OKB3 and Execute Batch Input Session -->SM35.

    Hello Sahil
    Account and CC/PC are 2 different entity types. For PC and CC there is dependency. First you have to load Cost centers and then load PC.
    For CC - load CC master data first. Then load hierarchy file then group file and finally assignment file.
    Follow same process for PC.
    GL you can load independently but you have first load group GL then operational GL and then GL at company code level,

  • How to make default values for date range?

    Dear Colleagues,
    My customer is asking for a default value for a date range prompt.
    The FromDate should contain the 1st of current month, the ToDate should contain current date.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can meet this demand?
    Regards Silje

    Hi Federico,
    Thank you for the answer, we are back to the challenge after summer vacations!
    I have created a variable in the universe: SELECT current date  as TODAY FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1. I Called it TODAY.
    Then I created a prompt in the query based on Date. In Prompt Properties I tagged for "Set Default Values" and I typed in TODAY.
    When I try to run the query I get the error message:  The date for the query filter based on 'Date' is invalid (WIS10704).
    What is wrong? What do I have to do differently?
    My goal is to have a default for Date that gives me today..
    Regards Silje

  • How do I change the default settings for opening new window?

    Thanks.

    HI,
    From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences (or Command + comma on your keyboard).
    Click Tabs. You can set your preferences there.

  • Does anyone know how to make an icon for a new keyboard layout?

    I have added a couple of keyboard layouts to my input sources and would dearly provide them with distinctive icons, but all icon makers I find on the net seem to cater to PCs only.

    Going to the App Store, there is a link for support.   That takes me to a facebook page:
    https://www.facebook.com/pages/Friendly-for-Netflix/
    Which when I lookup the info, takes me to:
    http://www.oecoway.com/
    Since there are no support links on the latter link, I would just message the owner of the Facebook page and tell them of your troubles.  If they are non-responsive, you may want to just as the App Store reverse the charge, with the feedback that the developer is non-responsive to user questions.  If it is functional for the $5 you paid, just keep it, and hope for an update you can use.

  • Is it possible to change the default settings for the slideshow?

    The default settings for any new slideshow use the dreaded Ken Burns effect and some awful background music from a standard library. Having to turn these things off for every new slideshow I start is driving me nuts. Perhaps preferring no music accompaniment and a static photo on the screen is for some people rather boring - but I would prefer it, at least as a starting point. If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful. Thanks

    Choose "Export" and then the QuickTime option.
    It will make a 4 track video with a simple "fade" effect between photos. You can set the dimensions and the duration of your photos. You can also remove the music or add your own from your iTunes Library (no purchased music if you intend to share these movies).

    You can only assign one default application to one type of document.

  • Is it possible to create a new tab in 'Default settings for items' option?

    Hi everybody
    I am Raghu working in EBP2.0 & I have come across a difficlty and that is of creating a new tab and also the fields 'GL a/c', 'cost centre' or 'internal order' in this new tab.
    First of all please let me know whether is it possible to create a new tab for these fields.
    The purpose of this new tab is to default the cost centre and GL account with reference to shopping cart.
    As per current scenario, user has to enter the cost centre & the GL code as many times as the number of items in a shopping cart. I mean, if you have 10 items in your shopping cart then 10 times user has to input the cost centre & GL account. To avoid this we are required to add new tab so that per shopping cart we can enter the GL account & cost centre only once.
    Your immediate response would be very much apprecited.
    Regards
    Raghu

    hi Ram & Sreenivas
    Thanks for your immediate response.
    Ram, we can default GL a/c & cost centre in org structure since client wants to us to keep the option of entering these for every shopping cart.
    Sreenivas, I checked the 'copy to clipboard' option & its not there in EBP2 and I feel what you meant as cost centre tab is account assignment tab.
    Let me explain you more clearly about this requirement.
    Current Scenario
    1.Say a user has added 5 items to his SC.
    2.User has to enter cost centre & GL code 5 times & then he can order
    Required scenrio
    1.Say a user has added 5 items to his SC.
    2.As per the proposed functionality, user will click on 'Default settings for items' button. Three tabs will appear-->Basic data, Internal note & Delivery Address.
    We have to provide a new tab here where in user will default his GL & cost centre for this shopping cart & then order. This will help user to avoid entering GL & cost centre 5 times.
    For some reasons our client is not interested in defaulting this data.
    Please help in this regard if time permits.
    Thanks
    Raghu

  • How can I change the default settings in the new pages?

    How can I change the default settings in the new pages?

    Create a new document and change the settings to what you want i.e. Times New Roman, 12 pt. and save as a template from the Edit menu. Then go to Pages Preferences (Cmd +,) and under general change the template to open to your saved template that you want as your default setting.
    Hope that helps.

  • New router - how to change wifi settings for Photosmart B109n

    I got a new router. How do I change the wifi settings for my Photosmart B109n?  I changed the PC wifi settings (no problem). I connected the PC (Windows 7) to the printer by USB cable. In the HP Solutions Centre, when I click on Settings / Network Settings, it tries to open a browser (IE9) page, with the URL being the IP address (192.168.2.3), but it goes to the "cannot display" page. Do I need the HP software CD? (I think I've lost it.) The manual explains how to set up (using the CD), but I can't find how to change settings for a new router.

    Glad to see that you have everything solved. If you run into any other problems, feel free to ask.
