How to search disk for large files/folders?

Is there a function on OS X (or a tool) that shows me which folders and files take up how many disk space?
(After couple of weeks on my iMac, I already somehow occupy 50 Gb on my drive)

You can also choose View->as List, the select View->Show View Options, in the dialog box make sure the Size option is checked, and the box to Calculate All Sizes. Now click on the Size column header in your window. Everything will be arranged by size. Click on the disclosure triangle in front of a folder to open it and see its contents, also showing size and arranged by size.
The advantage of this is that it is quick and easy. Unfortunately it will miss some invisible items, so if your disk space is vanishing because of invisible temp files or log files you won't see them. Whatsize can help with this, but isn't full-proof, it too can miss some things. The Terminal can be used to find everything if that turns out to be necessary.

How to create search path for the file on the desktop..

hello experts..
      I have used gui_upload module to upload the data from flatfile to the internal table, in that how can i create search path for the file selection in the selection screen, also please help me the code to update the ztable.
thanks

HI
If iam not wrong you want to select a file from a location that you don't know so if this is ur problem then use the function module
F4_FILENAME
this FM helps to locate and select the desired file from the system.
Sample code that you can check is
How to get windows filename
PARAMETERS: lv_file LIKE rlgrap-filename.
Method 1
    CALL FUNCTION u2019KD_GET_FILENAME_ON_F4u2019
    EXPORTING
    MASK = u2019,.txt,.*u2019
    STATIC = u2019Xu2019
    CHANGING
    FILE_NAME = LV_FILE.
Method 2
CALL FUNCTION u2019F4_FILENAMEu2019
EXPORTING
         program_name = syst-cprog
         dynpro_number = syst-dynnr
         field_name = u2019 u2019
     IMPORTING

Allow indexing service to index this disk for fast file searching

Hello,
I'm using Oracle on Win 2000, I have lately found out that the option "Compress drive to save disk space"
is not supported in Oracle.
When I've opened the drive specifications on the properties dialog, I found also another option called "Allow indexing service to index this disk for fast file searching".
My question are;
1. Should I turn it off?
2. Same question when the indexed directories does not include Oracle files?
3. Same question, when the indexing service is set to off?
Thanks,
Tal Olier ([email protected])

If this is a production machine, I'd definitely turn this off. Hopefully, no one is going to be searching for particular files on a production server-- they'll know where to go. You probably don't want any unnecessary background processes using up CPU or RAM either.
If this is a development machine, the developer may be searching for files with some frequency. If that's the case, it may be worth it to keep this service enabled.
I'm not aware of any Oracle issues when this service is running, but I'm paranoid enough not to trust it on a production box. If you're running on a dev box, you shouldn't have problems, particularly if you're not indexing Oracle files.

In Premiere Elements 11 how do I delete projects & associated files & folders?

How do I delete projects & associated files & folders once I've finished with the project in Premiere Elements 11. There is information available for Premiere Elements 7 but not for 11

For PrE 7 (I think that it is still in print), Amazon has Steve's Muvipix Guide to Premiere Elements: http://astore.amazon.com/chuckengelsco-20/detail/0615248993/104-3709942-5611121

How to uninstall Disk for iPhone?!?

Hello everyone!
I am a new mac user so I am not familiar with how to uninstall this type of program thru the Terminal. I have read through what followed with it but it was too difficult for me to understand unfortunately. Below is what it says about how to uninstall "Disk for iPhone":
*Uninstalling Disk for iPhone*
*1. Double-click the Disk for iPhone disk image file*
*2. Open the Terminal application*
*3. Run the uninstall script*
Example:
*$ sh "/Volumes/Disk for iPhone/uninstall.sh"*
*4. Press Return to run the command and then type in your administrator password when prompted.*
I have tried to run the uninstall commando for Terminal but failed removing it from my mac after typing my password. A guy from a different forum told me to add sudo before sh. Here is the result so far:
*110:~ P$ sudo sh "/Volumes/Disk for iPhone/uninstall.sh"*
*sh: /Volumes/Disk for iPhone/uninstall.sh: No such file or directory*
*110:~ P$*
Any experienced mac user out there who could help me out with this please?!?

I do not see this file when I open the disk image.
Then you either are opening the wrong disk image or you have an old or incomplete version. Download a new copy here:
http://iphonedisk.googlecode.com/files/Disk%20for%20iPhone%2020100411.dmg
(clicking that link will start the download)
That copy will have the uninstall script. Then follow the previous instructions and that should do the job.

Put the file in a folder that both users have access to, such as /Users/Shared or one user's Public folder. You may also need to change its permission settings in the Finder Info window.

[JS][CS3]how to get refrence for source file

Hi All
I am new and learning javascript Gradually Could any one help on this as i do have a code for load style but don't know how to get refrence for "source file" and "targetDoc"
targetDoc.importStyles(charImport, sourceFile, clashPolicy);
targetDoc.importStyles(paraImport, sourceFile, clashPolicy);
Can any one figure it out
Many Thanks

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve, could you please elaborate?
Do you want to load all the styles from one document into all 100 documents, or do you want all the styles from the 100 documents into 1 document or what is the goal?
The following will let you choose a folder of files, open each of the files in it and import the styles from source document. It is not a complete script, make sure to test and modify before running on anything else than test files :-)
var MyFolderWithFiles = Folder.selectDialog ("Choose a folder");
var sourceFile = File.openDialog("Choose the styles source");
var myFiles = MyFolderWithFiles.getFiles("*.indd");
for(i = 0; i < myFiles.length; i++) {
    theFile = myFiles[i];
    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
    var targetDoc = app.open(theFile, true);
    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;
    targetDoc.importStyles(ImportFormat.CHARACTER_STYLES_FORMAT, sourceFile, GlobalClashResolutionStrategy.LOAD_ALL_WITH_OVERWRITE);
    targetDoc.importStyles(ImportFormat.PARAGRAPH_STYLES_FORMAT, sourceFile, GlobalClashResolutionStrategy.LOAD_ALL_WITH_OVERWRITE);
    targetDoc.close(SaveOptions.YES);

How do share a very large file?

How do share a very large file?

Do you want to send a GarageBand project or the bounced audio file? To send an audio file is not critical, but if you want to send the project use "File > Compress" to create a .zip file of the project before you send it.
If you have a Dropbox account, I'd simply copy the file into the Dropbox "public" folder and mail the link. Right-click the file in the Dropbox, then choose Dropbox > Copy Public Link. This copies an Internet link to your file that you can paste anywhere: emails, instant messages, blogs, etc.
2 GB on Dropbox are free. https://www.dropbox.com/help/category/Sharing

Thumbnails for large files

OK..so now I've learned that for my large panorama filesI wont get a thumbnail in the Organizer. Just some Blue Triangle warning with a exclamation point. I do allot of golf course work where I stitch phototos and print 38 x 11 inches @ 300dpi.
So whats the work around? Is this a problem in the Bid Photoshop program? Sure I can....copy the file...reduce the resolution..save it with a different name..etc.
What the heck! You can't tell me that the program writers at Adobe can make this work for large files! Why the limit? By the way...what is the limit?
Thanks

Need PDF Information for large files

Hi experts,
I need some information from you regarding PDF related.
is there any newer adobe version for large files support - over 15mb, over 30 pages.
is it possible Batch technology with PDF
if not please suggest me Possible adobe replacements.
Thanks
Kishore

Thanks so long.
acroread renders the pages very fast. That's what i want - but it's proprietary:/
For the moment it's ok but i'd like to have a free alternative to acroread that shows the pages as quick as acroread or preloads more than 1 page.

I've tried it: no improvement.
Edit: tried Sumatra: an improvement compared to Okular etc. Thanks.

Faster alternative to cfcontent for large file downloads?

I am using cfcontent to securely download files so the user
can not see the path the file is stored in. With small files this
is fine, but with large 100mb+ files, it is much, much slower than
a straight html anchor tag. Does anyone have a fast alternative to
using cfheader/cfcontent for large files?
Thanks

You should be able to use Java to handle this, either through
a custom tag or you might be able to call the Java classes directly
in Coldfusion. I don't know much about Java, but I found this
example on the Web and got it to work for uploading files. Here's
an example of the code. Hope it gives you some direction:
