Icon Resizing, How do I set a default size across all windows?

Anyone know how to set the default icon size? I can resize them in each window, but I want to resize all of them across all windows. They are all so small now and I want to make all finder windows show the bigger size.
Thank you.

You're wrong. Every window that you open for the first time inherits whatever
you set as the defaults via view options. Previously opened windows retain
whatever settings they had previously.
Wrong here. The newly opened window get the settings of the previously opened window IF the check box of the Command-J window is not checked.
If the last opened window have "text on the right", text size to 9, and you close it and open a window who do not have the CheckBox [open in Icons] checked, your window will inherit the previously opened window settings (even if it was closed before you open the window)...
And I do not talk about reboot because I have TROUBLES with that on my SL machine (clean, very clean install [three times!]).
About the only thing you can't choose is how large
the window is when first opened. To reset everything, run this command in the
Terminal: copy & paste, hit the return key, and at the Password: prompt,
carefully type in your admin password, and hit the return key.
How do you do the reverse ?

How do I set the default size of a new folder?

I have finder sized the way I want for existing folders and if I do Finder > New Finder Window. These preferrences, however, do not seem to apply to new folders. Everytime I create a new folder on my desktop, and open that folder for the first time, the window size is really small and the sidebar is narrow. This is incredibally annoying. How do I set the default size for all new folders? Is there a plist file I can edit to fix this? Or an AppleScript I can run automatically in the background that fixes this? I am running Mavericks 10.9.1.

If you use the Finder's New Finder Window command (command N) to create a new window, resize it, place it where you want, and set it for icon view or however you want it. Then close it. Closing it is what sets these as the default. That should become the default for every new Finder window you create using the new window command. But if you have lots of windows open at once and then close them, the last window you close will set a new default.
There are lots of utilities that control Windows - their size and placement. I use one called Moom but there are many more.

How do I set a fixed size for a window (frame) :P

any ideas?
many thanks!

sorry for not using the swing forum but i considered java programming forum as more or less enclosing all problems Do you understand how to use forums? First you should be searching the forums to see if you questions has been asked and answered before. (Very few questions posted in the forums are original). It makes sense to search the forum where the questions should have been posted in the first place.
For example, if you had searched the Swing forum using "fixed size jframe" you would have found this posting at the top of the search results:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=712407
So you would have had your question answered in less than a minute and we wouldn't have wasted time answering a question that has already been answered.

How can I set a default currency for all my Numbers 03 files - currently it's Lithuanian!

I have Numbers 03, and I downloaded bought some extra templates through an app in the app store. Graphic Node Version 1.6
When I open the templates, the default currency is Lithuanian, and it appears that I can only adjust the currency cell by cell, column by column page by page.
I want the default currency for any of my work to be Aussie Dollars so I don't have to change the spreadsheet each time I want a new file.
Can this be done?/

G'day 5508,
Some thoughts. Try System settings first (this may not be the culprit).
System Preferences > Language and Region > Advanced > Currency > Australian Dollar
I can only adjust the currency cell by cell, column by column page by page.
Forgive my stupidity, but if the currency is a cell format in the template, can you select all currency cells at once, then change the currency? You will have to do this separately for each Table, but within a Table, you can select a range of cells. Quicker than cell by cell.
Once you have reformatted the document that emerged from that template, save the document as a template with the same name to overwrite the old template.
Hope this helps, mate.

Ian.

Set the default size for all archive mailboxes including the ones it will be created in the future

Hi there.
We are in the phase where we Will enable Online Archive for all the users.
We see that the default Archiving Quota is set up for 50 GB. We have found this powershell command on MsTechnet forum
Get-Mailbox -resultsize unlimited | where {$_.ArchiveDatabase -ne $null} | set-mailbox -ArchiveQuota 7GB -ArchiveWarningQuota 6GB
which I guess it will set up the ArchiveQuota to 7GB to all the users, true?
The question is if this command will work only for those users who currently have archiving enabled or it Will also work for those users which we are planing to enable archiving in the future?
The idea is that everyone would not have 50GB by default and this should be a default value also for those who currently do not have archiving enabled.
with best regards,
bostjanc

Hi there.
I don't quite get it.
I have created "for example" a database called: STH ARCHIVE.
Then if I take look on properties of this database this is how it's shown:
And now here comes the "tricky part" which is a little bit odd to me.
I have enabled archive on my mailbox and selected this STH ARCHIVE DB to hold this archive mailbox.
Then I have manually ran ManagedFolderAssistant for my account: Start-ManagedFolderAssistant -Identity "my-email-address"
And after I have greped the size of my mailbox:
Get-Mailbox | Get-MailboxStatistics -Archive | Sort totalitemsize -desc | ft displayname,totalitemsize, itemcount >C:\report-archive-database-mailboxes.txt
And get the result:
Personal Archive - MYUSERNAME
TotalItemSize: 4.071 GB (4,371,586,689 bytes)
ItemCount: 55227
So now I don't understand how I was able to go thru that sizes which are in the upper print screen of archive DB properties?

How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

gurus,
i'm using -
Oracle 9i Database
Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
i did the following to achieve this -
1. logged into portal
2. clicked on builder
3. clicked on administer tab
4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
5. went to the preferences tab
6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
7. logged out of portal
8. open a new browsere session
9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
ideas anyone ....?
thanx a bunch.
hero

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.

How can I set the default line height?

Greetings,
I have a report that displays observed behavior in a list format like the one below:
Behavior Observed:
    Withdrawn
    Happy
    Sad
    angry
There are 5 responses as to the severity of the behavior or it is left blank if the behavior was within normal limits.
So the output would look like this:
Behavior Observed:
    Withdrawn            (mild)
    Happy
    Sad                      (moderate)
    angry
The problem is that when this report was designed the details sections were not uniformy formatted and the spacing between data elements is hard to follow from the label to the data field. I tried to set the details to be uniform by selecting "Arrange Lines", however when I do this, the data is displayed too close horizontally. So my question is how do I set the default line height for each field so that they are uniform in distance from each other but not too close due to the font height?
Does this make sense?
Thank you,
Kevin

I'm confused... How are you associating line height with horizontal field spacing???
If you have this...
Behavior Observed:     Severity:
Withdrawn          (mild)
Happy
Sad               (moderate)
angry
But want it to look like this...
Behavior Observed:
Withdrawn (mild)
Happy
Sad (moderate)
angry
all you have to do is create a concatenation formula. Something like this...
{TableName.BehaviorObserved} & " (" & {TableName.Severity} &")"
Sorry if I've misunderstood what you are trying to do.

How do I set the default text in a bound textbox?

How do I set the default value of a bound textbox when the AddNewItem button on the MenuStrip is clicked?
I have the following code (see below), but for some reason it does work when I put the code in the
AddNewItem_Click event; however, it does work if I put it in the
Form's Load Event. The statement in question is Me.txtBusUsagePct.Text = 100.
What am I doing wrong? Why can't I set the default text in the AddNewItem_Click
event?
Private Sub BindingNavigatorAddNewItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BindingNavigatorAddNewItem.Click
Me.txtBusUsagePct.Text = "100"
End Sub
BobV365

Hello,
Here I am using mocked up data but the important thing is after loading the data. Requires on the form a BindingNavigator and two text boxes.
Public Class Form1
WithEvents bsData As New BindingSource
Private Sub Form1_Load(
ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Using MockedData As New DataTable()
MockedData.Columns.AddRange(New DataColumn() _
New DataColumn("PartName", GetType(String)),
New DataColumn("partqty", GetType(Int32))
MockedData.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Part A", 100})
MockedData.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Part 99", 34})
MockedData.Rows.Add(New Object() {"Part B", 4})
bsData.DataSource = MockedData
End Using
CType(bsData.DataSource, DataTable).AcceptChanges()
BindingNavigator1.BindingSource = bsData
TextBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", bsData, "Partname")
TextBox2.DataBindings.Add("Text", bsData, "partqty")
End Sub
Private Sub bsData_AddingNew(
ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.AddingNewEventArgs) _
Handles bsData.AddingNew
Dim dv As DataView = TryCast(bsData.List, DataView)
Dim rv As DataRowView = dv.AddNew()
rv("PartName") = "(new)"
rv("partqty") = 0
e.NewObject = rv
bsData.MoveLast()
End Sub
End Class

How do I set ical default values in lion?

I have just upgraded to Lion and so far, so good. In the new iCal, how do I set the default values? In the old version, when you clicked on the calendar, the default value was a 1 hour meeting around the current time of day. The new version defaults to an all-day meeting. I like the old way better, or best would be to have it as a preference.
Is there a way to set this that I'm not seeing?

Mike,
It sounds to me like you are using the "Month" view for that entry.
Default event creation in Month view results in an all day event.
Lion iCal Help (Add events to a calendar) says: "Add a new event in Month view by double-clicking within the day you want the event to appear. Enter a name and time duration for the event in the event’s title field, and then press Return."
Try entering "Meeting at 9am"...that will create a one hour event named Meeting.
