How to recursively share sub-folders?

I'm currently sharing a folder with another user on my system, but I've found that none of the sub-folders are automatically shared with that user. How do I change this without having to add every single sub-folder to my Shared Folders list
Thanks

Some further Googling turned up the answer to my question...

How do I create sub folders for imported pictures in iPad albums?

I have imported some photos to my iPad for a presentation. The pictures were in different folder under the main folder. After I import the main folder the sub folders are deleted and now all the picture are in one folder. How can I keep the original main folder with sub folders when importing pictures in iPad photo?

Not within the Photos app, but there are other photo management apps in the App Store which allow you to create albums within albums e.g. Photo Manager Pro - that app lets you copy photos to/from the Photos app and copy photos via iTunes : Photo Manager Pro help pages.

How do I include sub-folders in a Smart Mailbox?

I've set up a Smart Mailbox using the following rules (ALL) :
1. Message is in Mailbox XXXX
2. Subject contains YYYY
3. Contains attachments
But only 3 messages were found! I then realised that although I carefully selected a high-level mailbox (XXXX), it hasn't looked in the large and very complex set of sub-folders.
Obviously, I don't want a smart mailbox for every sub-folder below XXXX. How do I force a Mail Smart Mailbox to look not only in a selected mailbox, but all its sub-folders too?

Never mind. I worked it out for myself.
Step 1. I created a new Smart Mailbox for any messages in mailbox XXXX, and all its lower level sub-folders, using the Match ANY rule.
Message is in Mailbox XXXX
Message is in Mailbox XXXX-AA
Message is in Mailbox XXXX-BB
Message is in Mailbox XXXX-BB-1
(etc)
Step 2. I then recreated the original Smart Mailbox (OP), but this time I stipulated
1. Message is in Mailbox (new Smart Mailbox). Rules 2 and 3 were unchanged.
It meant I had to create two Smart Mailboxes instead of one, and cost me ten minutes extra work, but it works. That's the main thing.

How do you create sub-folders in Mail?

Hello, thanks for reading.
I have several domains and email accounts relating to different businesses and each account needs various associated archive folders for receipts, licences, customers, sales, newsletters, and so on...
With a sub-folder for each email kept for future reference on each account, this is a total of around 100 folders over 4 email accounts. Mail folders treat emails like songs in iTunes and that just doesn't work. The ideal solution is to have sub-folders within each mailbox.
If sub-folders aren't an option, can anyone suggest a way around this?! I might be able to slim it down to 20 folders but that would make finding an old email a little harder, especially if I don't know the email account it relates to or the sender.
I did all this easily on Outlook Express, which I think is available for Mac, right?

I've got tons of sub-folders in Mail.
I think the key is to understand that a mailbox is represented by a folder icon.
If you select a folder (mailbox), when you choose Mailbox/New Mailbox, the new folder appears inside the folder you highlighted. If not, you can drag it inside another folder as mentioned previously.

abook.,mab is the personal address book... but don't be to sure your Norton product even backs up Thunderbird.... Microsoft promised their transfer wizard transferred your mail and it only does Microsoft Mail programs unless you edit it's advanced settings.

Trouble with shares and access to sub folders

We're attempting to replicate our Netware configuration to a new MacOS 10.4.6 server. On Netware we where able to create a share that was available to all users, however the folders they saw within the share where governed by their access rights within the tree. For example, take the following structure:
Data --+-- Folder1
|
+-- Folder2
Rights for Folder1 where assigned to Group1 and rights to Folder2 to Group2. All users in Group1 and Group2 could then mount the drive and see the folders that they where a member of.
We have attempted to replicate this on MacOS as follows:
Data --+-- Folder1 (ACL Group1 = Read/Write)
|
+-- Folder2 (ACL Group2 = Read/Write)
However, when you mount Data on Mac or Windows it says you have no access rights and won't let you dig down to Folder1 or Folder2. Is there something I'm missing?

If all users in Group 1 and Group2 have access to
the root Data folder then that permission will
propogate down the tree and they will have read
access to each of the sub folders. If folders within
suddenly gain everyone RW access then they will be
able to open and see the folder.
Thanks, I've solved the problem. I needed all users to have access to the root of the 'volume' but for that not to propogate down the tree. I've found the inheritence settings and that I think has solved the problems.
You can control this by propagating permissions
downward from the top level folder. Do this:
Create a group for everyone who accesses Data called
DataGroup.
Add DataGroup to the group list for everyone. (You
can mass select Users and add the group to everyone
who needs it at once.)
Change the Unix group owner of the Data folder to
DataGroup and set these permissions:
Owner: admin RW, Group: DataGroup R, Everyone: None
Open Data and set Folder1 privileges to:
Owner: admin RW, Group: Group1 RW, Everyone: None
and propagate these settings to the subfolders. Be
sure to propagate Group Ownership and Group
Permissions and Everyone permissions.
NOTE: This is the traditional *nix way - with ACLs
you can do this and then fine-grain the control using
the ACL granting Group 1 Full Control and propagating
that.
Now set Folder2 to Group2 etc.
This allows you access to Data (versus using staff or
some generic Unix group but those will work too) but
allows you to control who has access to the
subfolders. In this case membership in DataGroup only
grants you access to see the folders - it doesn't
even guarantee access to any of the subfolders.
If you want nested folders within Folder1 or Folder2
you can do the same thing - create a folder owned by
a specific user and set Group Read access to none and
propagate that through the subtree. Just be aware
that propagations that happen above that folder can
reverse the settings. Always set large and then get
specific. New Users are granted access to Data by
adding DataGroup and users access to folders are
granted or revoked by adding or removing the Group1,
Group2 etc settings.
I think that once you get it set how you want and try
it you'll find that the Data folder is redundant and
is giving you unnecessary conceptual problems. If you
make the Folder1, Folder2 etc shares then after a
user authenticates they will see only the folders
they have permission to access. If I am in Group1 and
I authenticate my selection of folders will only be
folders accessible by Group1 - I will never even see
Folder2. By grouping them in Data you are adding a
layer of permissions that is probably not needed. But
everyone has their own organizational system and
sometimes it's easier to leave users with what their
used to using. (I have users that still mount Users
and navigate to their own folder even though their
user folder shows up at the login level simply
because that's the way they've always done it.)
No there are good reasons to share the Data folder and not the children below. For example, if you are on Windows clients and you wish to map the share to a drive letter you will have no way of doing this if you don't have the containing folder.
Yes, I understand with ACLs (or at least I think I
do and have setup a system that works). The problem
is that new folders get Everyone Read access. Which
ruins the effective permissions for that folder. I
need a way of making the default posix permissions
O=RW,G=None,Everyone=None.
We have a lot of folders to deal with Folder 1 and
Folder 2 are only examples. We have about 15 or more
folders with sub folders that have differing access
rights. All this we have sorted out except the
default POSIX permissions for new folders/files.
You can change Umask default privilege settings but
DON'T. Well, DON'T unless you're a *nix guru. It
changes the default for all created files - including
those created by the system and this can lead to
serious problems down the road.
I don't want a whole system default change to umask I want one that works only for people connected via AFP, you would think that would be possible. Similarly I want one for SMB access also.
If you get this working you will see that despite the
POSIX settings the ACLs are working. If you really
need your Unix permissions to be set a certain way
chuck ACLs and set "Inherit from Parent Folder" in
AFP and SAMBA. With ACLs on the system will only do
POSIX settings.
In the windows world you either use POSIX or ACLs in the mac world you use a combination of both. That can be an asset but it can also be a major problem. If only you could use the inherit setting for POSIX when ACLs where enabled it would solve all these worries.
Thanks for your time on this.

How import prior Backed-Up Fox Favorities in multiple sub-folders rather than one at a time in Fox 6.0

How do you import prior Backed-Up Fox Favorities. This involved many short-cuts and contained in multiple sub-folders.
How can I import the whole folder library rather than one short-cut at a time from each folder.

The favorites shortcuts were not IE but from Firefox. I had a operating system failure. So, after re-installing the operating system, I then had to re-install all applications anew.
After installing Fox 6.0, the problem is my prior use of folders and sub-folders with many favorites shortcuts in each.
It appears that I will need to start anew with creating a folder system in the new firefox application. Then take all of the favorites shortcuts, individually, out of folders and put them in a file in a row, in an antilog fashion. Then try to get Firefox to accept them in some fashion.
I also do not know how to (1) export IE Favorites (2) in IE (3) to an HTML?
I am just lost.

How do I get all my sub-folders from Yahoo to show up in Mozilla

I installed Mozilla Thunderbird on my Home PC and Office Laptop. On my PC all my sub-folders were imported automatically. On my Laptop Thunderbird is not showing all the sub-folders I use in Yahoo to keep my emails organized. This is not the local folders that I can set up in Thunderbird. It's the folders I have created in Yahoo for years.

Pop mail accounts can only connect to server, check Inbox for new messages and download from the server Inbox to the mail account Inbox in Thunderbird. This is how all pop mail accounts work.
You can get other emails in other folders downloaded by logging on to webmail and moving the emails back into the Inbox and then click GetMail.
Suggest you do this one folder at a time.
Imap mail accounts see a remote view of the server folders. You subscribe to see folders. You can also choose to synchronize folders.
If you want to see various server folders then you have to use IMAP.
You cannot change a pop into an imap, there are many differences.
Create a new exisiting mail account and make sure it is an IMAP setting before you click on 'Done'. Use 'Manual config' button if necessary to change settings.

How to restrict access to sub folders (apart from Manual settings)?

Hi,
Is there any method to stop the group traverse from main Folder to sub folder when user group has access to main folder?
So that no need to give no access to sub folders manually for given group.
Manual access settings have become tedious due to large number of sub folder and user groups.
Scenario:-
There is a main Folder F1 and it has 100 Sub Folder SF1 to SF100. And these sub folders has child folders.
Group G1 should have access only F1, and should not have the access its child folders.
How can we eliminate manual work to remove access for each group at each sub-folder level?
Thanks,
Anu

Access restrictons by default are inherited from parent folders downward.
You can break the inheritance, but you'll still need to manualy setup initial security.
Details are in the Admin guide.

How to monitor contents of sub-folders in a Folder Action?

Hello. I am wondering how I might read a folder's contentModDate within Terminal, i.e. from the command line and/or within a Folder Action.
This is the situation: I am running Periscope Pro (PP) for motion-detected videos, which by default, places them within the user's ~/Movies/com.zipzapmac.Periscope-Pro folder. Within that folder, PP creates a folder with it's name based upon (a) machine name and (b) primary MAC address. For example, we'll pretend this folder is called MacPro(001122334455). Then within that folder, as PP is running in motion-detection mode, it creates a new folder based on the current date and then, within that, places videos when motion is detected. Very straight-forward and it works just fine.
What I would like to do is have a folder action that (a) detects when any new folder or file is created within MacPro(001122334455) and (b) sends me a text-message via Apple Mail.
If the MacPro(001122334455) folder is empty, I can create a Folder Action that will detect the creation of a sub-folder when the first motion-detected video is created and that successfully sends me a text-message, BUT if a second video is created later within the same date-named folder, I will not get a message. I would get a text-message on the following day as a new folder is created within MacPro(001122334455) that signals the first motion-detected video of the day, but again not subsequent videos on the same day.
The text-message via Apple Mail I have easily scripted via Applescript and it works flawlessly.
Since Folder Actions only work upon a single pre-defined folder and not on sub-folders, I can never get automatically notified via text-message of second/third/fourth/etc. motion-detected videos as they're created... only the first one of each day.
So, I'm wondering whether there's a different way, perhaps through launchd that I might script this process. I'm thinking that if the contentModDate value of the MacPro(001122334455) folder could be read, compared with the last known value, and then---if different---execute the Applescript. OR PERHAPS I'm going about this all wrong and you might have another, better idea?
I'm open to suggestions.
-- David (da2357)

Well, I found a solution that does not use a Folder Action. Since Folder Actions will only work upon the specified folder and not upon the contents of any sub-folders, I needed a different solution.
First, I launched Terminal and created a new file called monitorPeriscope. I set executable permissions (chmod 700 monitorPeriscope). The contents of the file:
#!/bin/bash
# monitor the size of a specified folder and
# when the size increases, run an applescript
# copyright 2013, david dot allie at me dot com
# you are welcome to use this script, but please attribute authorship.
# CONSTANTS
WATCHFOLDER="/users/xadmin/movies/com.zipzapmac.Periscope-Pro"
SIZEFILEONE="/users/xadmin/.bin/foldersizeone"
SIZEFILETWO="/users/xadmin/.bin/foldersizetwo"
MYAPPLESCRIPT="/users/xadmin/documents/dropbox/programming/applescript/motion_de tected_text.scpt"
# START
# calculates current size of watchfolder, saves to sizefiletwo, then
# performs a diff operation, result which is evaluated in if statement,
# and if different, runs applescript, and copy sizefiletwo to sizefileone
du -h -k -d3 -c $WATCHFOLDER | awk 'END{print}' | awk '{print $1}' > $SIZEFILETWO
diff --brief $SIZEFILEONE $SIZEFILETWO
if [ $? -eq 1 ]
then
    osascript $MYAPPLESCRIPT
    cp -f $SIZEFILETWO $SIZEFILEONE
fi
exit 0
Next, I created the following Applescript, replacing Some User, [email protected] and the text address of [email protected] below with my real values.
using terms from application "Mail"
tell application "Mail"
set theName to "Some User"
set theAddress to "[email protected]"
set theContent to "Motion detected in OFFICE."
set newMessage to make new outgoing message
tell newMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:theName, address:theAddress}
set visible to true
set sender to "[email protected]"
set subject to "ALERT "
set content to theContent
send newMessage
end tell
end tell
end using terms from
Next, using the touch command, I created /users/xadmin/.bin/foldersizetwo and /users/xadmin/.bin/foldersizetwo as needed for the bash shell script (touch /users/xadmin/.bin/foldersizeone and touch /users/xadmin/.bin/foldersizetwo).
Next, still in Terminal, I navigated to ~/Library/LaunchAgents and created the following plist using nano, which I named com.xadmin.monitorPeriscope.plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>Disabled</key>
          <false/>
          <key>Label</key>
          <string>com.xadmin.monitorPeriscope</string>
          <key>ProgramArguments</key>
          <array>
          <string>/users/xadmin/.bin/monitorPeriscope</string>
          </array>
          <key>RunAtLoad</key>
          <true/>
          <key>StartInterval</key>
          <integer>900</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
Finally, all that was needed was to log out and then log back in. Once I launched the Periscope Pro app and started the motion-detection mode, I left my office... and within fifteen minutes I received a text message indicating that motion had been detected in my office. In the plist above, I set a StartInterval of 900 seconds, which corresponds to 15 minutes. I can reduce it down to 300 seconds (5 minutes) without it adversely affecting performance, but I'm going to leave the setting where it is for now.
So, I solved my own problem and I'm pleased with the results.

How can I get the sub folders in room structure?

Hi guys,
I have a quesion: in KM-Collaboration-roomstructure, if I have a folder A, how can I get its sub folders like A.1,A.1.1,A2.
I mean of course how code can realize: using context folder=(IPcdContext) ictx.loopup(path) ?
Please give me some hint!
Thanks so much!
Regards,
Liying

The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format. When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

How do I share folders to other people using iCloud Drive?

I would like to replace DropBox. How do I share a link to folders in iCloud Drive to other people? Does it have this capability?

I have been trying to find an answer for this too, as a dropbox user for many years I was hoping that iCloud drive could be a replacement, but it looks like it falls way way short in comparison to dropbox for sharing folders with family or work project folders with peer workers, as it basically does not have the scope to do it!!!
iCloud drive looks to only be for personal usage.
AND THATS A BAD APPLE !
