How to stop finder sliding off screen

Hi,
I'm using a new MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Mavericks Version 10.9.3.The behaviour I want to change happens when I have a Finder window maximised.
If I open a file in the open folder, the finder "slides" offscreen, to the right, as the file opens. When I close the file, instead of the Finder window I see the desktop.
If I'm working through a folder with lots of file I have to check or alter, this is a massive waste of time. Can anyone tell me how to change the settings so that Finder simply stays open?
Any and all advice much appreciated. I've searched for solutions online, but nothing so far has worked. I'm relative new to Macs, and not being able to change this is very frustrating.
Thanks
Karl

1. If an external display is connected and turned off, either turn it on or disconnect it.
2. Open Mission Control. Close all desktops except Desktop 1 by positioning the cursor over each one and then clicking the X button in the top left corner. In Desktop 1, move the missing window, if need be, so that it won't be hidden behind the Dock.

How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK?

How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK? I need to know how much sreen real estate that is available on the users moniter. Is there some call that I can make from the SDK to discover the maximun X and Y coordinates?
Thanks,
Gregory

Currently, I am testing on multiple moniters and it is defaulting to the moniter designated as the #1 moniter. For our purposes, this is acceptable. Once the two documents have loaded, the user can move and re-size at will.

How to use 'Find' menu in Screens

Hi all,
I wanted to know how to use 'Find' menu in screens.
Actually I have created a screen through SE51 and used the pushbutton to assign the function 'Find' ( one with binoculars ). The screen uses a table control to bring all the data from the DB table in the PBO module. When the user uses FIND button the system should prompt a search pop up screen onto which he will enter the search parameter and when he enter that the corresponding line item should be displayed on the tablecontrol. I wanted to know what logic should be incorporated in the program if that pushbutton is used. Please reply immediately. Its urgent.
Regards,
Bhavani.

Hello,
In the PAI under a module (user_command for example) when the user click the button you should use the command READ TABLE (if you look at the help, there's some options to do the READ dynamically - [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d3/2e974d35c511d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm]) to get the line index and with it you set the TOP_LINE of the table control ( tc_table-top_line = sy-index for example).
Doing this the selected line will be the first in the table control on the next step (PAI/PBO).
Regards,

Why are my windows sliding off screen?

So, I was on my Mac Book Pro doing work and I flick between different windows (FCP, Finder, Safari etc) using the cmd - Tab function. All works fine and all the windows stay on the screen.
However, I was doing something in finder when all of a sudden all the toher windows slid off scree to the left. Now whenever I use Finder the other widows slide off screen and when I tab back to use the other windows finder slides off to the right! I just want them all to be on the screen at the same time again!!
Any ideas?

Not sure if you have solved your issue yet. But I had the same issue. Disable/trash iSnap.That's the culprit.

If the email account is an Exchange or IMAP account, this is normal behavior. All server stored mailboxes with an Exchange or IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.

How to stop finder auto slide when click subfolder in columns view

Hi
when i use finder in the columns view and click something in the next level at right, the finder will slide right and relocate with the subfolder. how can i stop it.

You can't. It has to slide over to display the contents of the selected folder or the preview info.
As long as there is room in the window, nothing will shift.
You can always use List view if you don't want it to move.

How to stop mavericks turning off my media server

Now when Mavericks goes to sleep it shuts down both media servers, this happens even when I'm streaming a movie.
Any idear how I can limit what Mavricks shuts down when it goes into sleep mode?

Exact same problem for me with Plex. I've tried "System Prefs > Energy Saver > Wake For WiFi Network Access" but the stream still stops when the computer goes into standby. Has anyone been able to find a solution to this?

How to Stop Finder WEBDAVFS from requesting .hidden, ._Directory , ._FileName files after Remotes File System Mount has happened?

Hi,
After I have mounted remote directory on Finder , Finder requests for all file types including .hidden, ._Directory , ._FileName files and all such files which is creating havoc to the performance of the Finder.
Case 1 : In one Directory I have 500 files+directories. When the Finder tries to fetch the directory content it is sending requests for even .hidden, ._Directory , ._FileName files and so the request count grows exponentially causing breakdown for Finder. Its taking 10 mins to load the directory. The same directory request when posted by Transmit by Panic it loads within 30 secs. Transmit do not send request for ._* files/directory.
I am rejecting request for all hidden file request but they keep on coming in thousands.
Case 2 : Finder tries to refresh the file listing whenever the Finder window is brought to Focus.
Any help is appreciated. When I try to use find for such files to delete I see no listing!
Used : ls -1aR /Volumes/InquiraWebDAV

How to stop Finder from opening new windows to view contents of folders.

I have 2 folders on my desktop, called "Home" and "Work." Both are aliases to files stored in user/documents on my HD. Both contain many folders within folders within folders and, ultimately, documents. When I double click on the "Home" desktop alias, a finder window opens showing contents. When I click on any folder within that window, it does what I want it to...switches to the contents of that folder (within same window, without opening a new one.) This works for everything in that folder.
When I double click on a folder within the "Work" folder, however, it opens a new window at every level. By the time I get to the document I want, I may have 5 or 6 windows open, which I then have to manually close.
I have gone into Finder/Preferences/General and the "Always open new window" box is NOT checked. Any one know why it would still be doing this? (No new applications are opening when I click on the folders, just a new finder window.) And why would it do it for one desktop folder and not the other?
I looked through discussions till my head spun and only saw the Finder/Preferences fix, so I'm hoping there's another fix, like a preference file somewhere that I just need to trash. Any help would be appreciated.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I don't know if this is the problem, but for windows in "Icon" or "List" view that are set so that the "Toolbar" is not showing, a folder opened within that window will tend to open a new window. This is just a difference in behaviour between the two modes. To show / hide the toolbar, try clicking the elongated button in the upper right corner, in the "titlebar" of the window, or choose "Show Toolbar" / "Hide Toolbar" from the "View" menu.
Additionally, a workaround might be to switch to "Column" view ("View" > "as Columns" ⌘3), since opening a folder within a window in "Column" view does not appear to spawn a new window, even with the "Toolbar" hidden. Another option might be to hold down the "option" key while opening the folder - this causes the previous window to close as the new window is opened.

Windows sliding off screen into vapor...

I'm using OS X Lion (10.7.4) and I'm about at my wits end. I'm sure my problem is actually about my Magic Mouse. I can be typing away and when I touch the mouse, the screen I'm on gets swept away (I think to the right, but I'm not sure about that). When this happens, I get a blank screen that says to I want to leave the page or stay on it. Neither choice bring back the screen that disappeared.
I assume that I'm touching the Magic Mouse with more than one finger when this happens. Is there some way I can disable this feature or can someone tell me what I'm doing to cause it to happen? It's a PITA when I've typed several lines only to have to start all over. I'm about to throw this mouse in the garbage can.
It probably has nothing to do with this problem, but when it occurs, I'm using my late '11 MBA.
HELP!!!

have you tried using two fingers and swipe over the mouse toward the left to bring it back?
My mouse has done some surprising things too...I will look to see if there is a sensitivity setting...
SOmetimes I think I am about to scroll, but it zooms the page in..some times it jumps to showing mission control... ack.
