How to make folder view static on shared volume

I have an external drive connected to a Mac Mini (10.6.8). We use that external drive as our shared network drive. 4 Macs and 2 PCs access the drive. Please tell me how I can alter the ".DS_store" file on the SHARED VOLUME so that each user can expand disclosure triangles, etc. on the server volume, but each individual user isn't affected by how any particular user is viewing the folders. Right now, if User #1 expands a bunch of folders, all of the other users see that, too. I've done this before, using the Terminal. Alas, I've lost the directions for that. I believe it involved changing the permissions on the "DS_store" file on the server volume. Thanks in advance.

The following should work
cd /path/to/the/folder
chmod 444 .DS_Store
Repeat for each folder of interest.
If you have an entire directory tree, you could use something like
cd /path/to/the/top/folder
find . -iname .DS_Store -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 444
The 444 is read for owner, group, everyone else, and no write, and no execute permissions for the .DS_Store file. No write means no one should be able to change the contents of the .DS_Store file.
The find command will start at the current folder, then walk down the directory tree looking for all the .DS_Store files and pipe those files to xargs which will execute the chmod 444 command for each .DS_Store found.
Does this sound like what you did before?

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 make Help view well on both laptops and desktops

Hi -- I'm trying to learn RoboHelp 7 and just created my first WebHelp project. I want to show it to a friend, but don't have a server I can publish it to, so I copied all the files onto my flash drive and put it on my laptop. It all works fine, which is a relief -- however, the custom colors are way off, and some of the screenshots are now too big, so the user would have to scroll (which can be annoying). I created it on my desktop and have been looking at it on a larger monitor (1680x1050), but the laptop is old (1024x768). The thing is, a lot of people might have to view it on 800x600.
I couldn't find any information in RH's Help about how I should have set it up so that it views well on different systems. I'm hoping someone could please advise me as to what I should have done, and if there's anything I can do now to fix it, or point me to some information. I used Arial 10 pt for the text, and now it looks 12 pt. Should I have made it 8 pt? Is there a rule for how large an image should be to be viewed on a laptop and a desktop?
One last thing, it's too large to put on a CD, so is does anyone know how to make this into an executable?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
Daryl

Hi Daryl
I use an eBook compiler to convert WebHelp to an executable file. You might investigate eBook compilers for that bit. However, I'm not sure how that would help you since a compiler will do little more than to take a swarm of WebHelp files and store them in a wrapper to create a single file. Generally you will end up with something that although it exists as a single file, is larger than what is inside.
Are you SURE it's too big for CD? CD will hold 650 megs (700 if you buy the extended types).
On the screen size issue WebHelp itself should adapt fine. Probably it's the images you are concerned with. And the general rule of thumb is to capture images at a reasonable size to begin with. Never EVER just insert a big ole image into RoboHelp and grab the sizing handle to make it smaller. It will still consume a larger amount of space and the quality will suffer badly. So the best approach is to copy the image at a reasonable size to begin with. Something that may fit nicely in the Topic Pane area as it is presented in the space provided by the lowest common denominator. In your case I believe you said that many are still at 800x600.
Your 10 point text will still be 10 points at a smaller resolution. It will just look a bit different.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

How to make list view the default in finder?

Is there a way to make "List view" be the default view for all folders opened?
I know that with a window open, you can hit CMD-1, 2, 3 or 4 for icon, list, column, or cover view, but I want "list view" to be the default.
I know that in some windows I can set the list view the way I want it and then close the folder, knowing the next time it opens, it will remember it, but that doesn't seem to work for encrypted sparse-bundle drives. They ALWAYS come up in icon view, regardless of the previous view it was in.
So hopefully, setting the overall default will help me solve this problem.
TIA for any advice/tips!
Steve

I could swear that I've done this before, in exactly this way, and it worked fine on my internal HD, but not on my encrypted sparse-bundles. But now it's working.
Sorry to have created chaff in the group. I should have tried again just before I posted....

How to make Folder Action work on file, subfolder content change?

Hi!
I looking for information in how to make a Folder Action, Work Flow or any action from Automator to work on file change and not only on deletion, moving or insertion. What I want to know is if it's possible to trigger some script or app while monitoring a folder and its contents, files and subfolders, changes. Meaning that when I have a file that has its contents updated the action will be triggered like an txt file that I only insert a new line in it, for example.
Is there any solution that is not third party? Is there an internal Mac OS X solution that would work on Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion?

i have same problem. i would like to move automatically saved Word backup copy to another folder, but the folder action doesn't recognize the save as a new file that needs to be acted upon.

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement to make the Hierarchy view as fixed ie To remove the toggel functionality .

I removed the toggel button and make the view visible all the times .
I have removed the button by commenting the code .
but I am not sure how can I make the view always visible ?
I can understand that i have to use the same code as the toggel event 'ONTOGGLEHIERARCHY'is using ,
but where should I be putting that code so that it takes the Hierarchy view at the time of initial loading .

How to repair Folder view after Move

After several moves of pictures to a new disc (via File, Move within Photoshop Elements Organiser 9) the folder view no longer shows the correct photos.
The photos are in the correct locations and the properties also show the correct location.
If I select a directory in folder view however, several photos are shown that are not in that directory.
I tried to repair the catalog, but that didn't change the problem.
Any ideas?
I am very much missing a facility in the Organiser to move directories, a complete directory tree or just the disk letter of my catalog.

See:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos
(still true in PSE9)
and
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Folder_Location_view
I have found many posts about this bug and I am not sure its reasons have been understood, since it seems very difficult to reproduce the situation when it does appear. I am not sure how to correct that bug. I have never had such a problem because I work normally in thumbnail view, although the folder view is useful for me in certain circumstances.
Moving the folders by drag and drop in the left panel in folder views should work.
Moving folders from a drive to another should also work.

How to set folder view to text wrap the tittles?

Hi!
I always use folder view to go through my documents, but some of the folder names are too big so it only shows the beggining and the end of each tittle. So it looks like this...
How can I change that to show more lines and wrap the texts?
kind of like this when you select it, but with more lines?

Maybe this:
Show Full File & Folder Names on the Mac Desktop
Show Long File & Folder Names on the Mac OS X Desktop

How to make materialized view fast refresh parallel

We have Oracle 11.2.0.1 on Redhat 5.2. We use a dozen of fast refresh materialized views in our application.
From time to time MV refresh takes longer time than the refresh interval.
One of way to improve performance of MV refresh is to make the refresh parallel, e.g. http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_materialized_views_refreshing_performance.htm
- Use parallel DML - Oracle author Michael Armstrong Smith notes "I've done parallel materialized view refreshing
on tables recently and improved the load times considerably. Rather than having one load which took 2 hours,
I run 4 parallel loads, one for each partition. The length of time for the whole process is now determined by
how long the biggest partition takes to load. In my case, this is 40 minutes, with two 30 minute loads and one
20 minute load. Overall I am saving 1 hour 20 minutes. I can now add further partitions and do the same thing.
My only limitation is the parallel loads because I don't have unlimited processing power.
{code} My master tables are not partitioned, but think parallel will still better than non-parallel.
Now the question, how to make refresh parallel. According to the paragraph cited above, Use parallel DML appears doing the job. Can someone confirm that.
We use {code}
alter materialied view MV_OFFENSE parallel REFRESH FAST start with sysdate next sysdate+ 1/24;
{code}to schedule refresh. Does the parallel clause here parallels query the MV or refresh the MV?
Any other way to make MV refresh parallel?
Thanks

Doc http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16579/refresh.htm#i1006319 says:
>
In a data warehousing environment, assuming that the materialized view has a parallel clause, the following sequence of steps is recommended:
1.
Bulk load into the fact table
2.
Enable parallel DML
3.
An ALTER SESSION ENABLE PARALLEL DML statement
4.
Refresh the materialized view

I think you have the hints in the wrong place - as far as I was aware, the hint had to come straight after the SELECT/UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE key word - but I could be wrong as I've never really tried it elsewhere. Also, unless the optimiser mode for your database is set to FIRST_ROWS or RULE (god help you!:), ALL_ROWS is the default behaviour.
Basically what you are trying to say is bring me back all ra_customer_trx_all rows that have purely numeric trx_numbers right?
Why, if you need to be able to represent trx_number as a number, do you have non-numeric data in there???? That's a bit dodgy isn't it?
Anyway, what about:
CREATE TABLE dt_test_num (id varchar2(10))
insert
into
     dt_test_num
select
     chr(47 + rownum)
from
     all_tables
where
     rownum <= 20
select
     to_number(id),
     id
from
     dt_test_num
where
     translate(id,'0123456789',' ') IS NULL
update
     dt_test_num
set
     id=id||chr(67-rownum)
select
FROM
     dt_test_num
select
     to_number(id),
     id
from
     dt_test_num
where
     translate(id,'0123456789',' ') IS NULL
/Also, you are selecting rownum and aliasing it. Why? rownum will be assigned before the sort.

How to make a view created using enhancement framework as Interface View

Dear Experts.
I Created A new View and window by using Enhancement Framework for a standard webdynpro comp. Now i want to use the same window as a UIBB in FPM , since in window properties interface view check box is unchecked it's not allowing me to use a UIBB in FPM.
Kindly answer for the following.
1) Is there any way to make a view a interface ( whcih is by default in nature but while creating from Enhancement framework behaivng Strangly).
2) If there is no way then how to use enhanced (additional View Created in Standard WDA comp) further like in FPM ( UIBB ).
thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Please see [https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/docs/DOC-21546|https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/docs/DOC-21546]
windows created through enhancement are local to component and hence they are not visible outside.
You need to find other way to provide your interface view to UIBB.

How to make my ip static?

Hello,
I often need ports open for programs I use, and i haev multiple computes on my base station. It is always changing my ip number according to number of computers on my network. I was wondering how I make it so i am always the same. Does it have anything to do with being over .201? Thanks,
Andre

Open the Networking preference pane on your Mac and manually assign it an IP address of 201 or above. The DHCP server in the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) only uses the range 2-200.
Also see Steve Newstrum's tip "How do I use Port Mapping (Part I)".

How to recover deleted files from a shared volume?

Setup - Mac Mini Server (OSX 10.8.4, Server 2.2.1(169)), 256GB Flash drive, System data only. External 8TB G-Raid holds all business data, backed up to a LaCie 6TB Quadra using Intego Backup Manager Pro 1.0.9. The G-Raid has two folders 0_Clients and DATA which are shared through OS X Server.
Situation, told customer backup drive (LaCie) was almost full mid April, purge data. They didn't and backups stopped running at end of April. Yesterday, they accidentally deleted a folder / with files. User was on an iMac, connected to the share DATA when deleted. Called in a panic of course. New folder and files were created after the last back was executed.
Question - Folder and files were deleted but Trash was not "emptied". Researching, I learned about hidden trash folders. So, I was hopeful I'd find the info in the hidden /.Trashes folder on the shared Volume G-Raid. My understanding is that that's where it would go, until an "empty trash" is executed. I've shown all hidden files / folders via "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE". Navigated to the volume G-Raid/.Trashes and the folder/ files are not there. Is there another location where they may possibly be??? Or, are they hosed and it's really gone "Deleted"???
Thx

With a locally connected volume e.g. a hard disk or USB flash drive, when you delete a file it does get moved to the 'Trash' folder and until the Trash is emptied can still be retrieved. However with a network volume if a logged in user deletes a file or folder it normally gets deleted immediately. (The user would get a message saying "This item will be deleted immediately. You can’t undo this action.")
So the likelihood is that the items are not in any trash folder even if you found and looked in them.
It used to be the case that even when using a network file server you still had the benefit of files first going to the trash folder but Apple stopped doing this a long time ago. The network trash folder would be at the top level of the network share. (If it exists and works.) Some NAS devices might still support it but as I mentioned I don't believe Apple themselves do.
So you could try using Terminal.app to look for an invisible folder at the top-level folder of the network share, if the network share is a folder called 'Fred' then this invisible folder would be in 'Fred' and would be called "Network Trash Folder". You can try looking for this either on the server or from a logged in client.
Do ls -la in Terminal.app the 'a' flag means show all including invisible files.
As you have probably guessed by now it is almost certainly the case these files are lost and cannot be retrieved. The users unfortunately are guilty of multiple mistakes.
They ignored your warning about the backup drive
They deleted something they should not have
They ignored the warning the Mac would have shown about "This item will be deleted immediately. You can’t undo this action."
I would add an additional error that they and perhaps you as their advisor are guilty of. Never rely on a single level of backup, ideally you should have a rotating set of backups i.e. one for each day - Monday, Tuesday, etc. and even more importantly should store these off-site unless being used so that in the even of a fire, flood or other disaster you still have intact backups.
In theory ACL permissions can be set to allow reading, allow writing but disallow deleting. Unfortunately in the real world trying to use the disallow deleting option is a waste of time. This is because many programs 'save' changes by saving a new temporary file, deleting the original file, and renaming the temporary file to the original name. This will not work if you block deleting.
