Icon titles within folders missing

I use folders on the home screen to categorise apps so that I don't have to swipe to find things. About 2 weeks ago the titles of the app shortcuts inside the folders all disappeared. Any clues how to turn them back on? I couldn't find anything in the menus and a restart didn't do anything. Is there a cache for an app or background process that I should clear?

And also it could be useful if you check it happens in safe mode also:

I've just installed Arch base and base-devel (64 bits), intel-ucode, xorg, nvidia driver, gnome and started gdm:

I've notice a strange behaviour in GDM login, too. The first time I put my password and try to log in doesn't happen anything. I have to press "Cancel" button and try again, then successfully.

Same problem here. However this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=178290 fixed my system ( I also had error messages from journalctl related to svg format not recognized). As the thread says, I basically just had to reinstall a package with "pacman -S gdk-pixbuf2" and then everything worked. I don't know why, because that packaged was already installed.

Document titles within desktop folders blacked out

Does anyone know why my document titles within folders on my desktop are being blacked out? Please see attached for a screenshot.
I am running on a mid 2014 Macbook Pro 13" - Yosemite 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 - 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Thanks in advance!

We experienced this with out terminals using RDP to connect to a terminal server. Turned out the terminals couldn't produce the right resolution
and color depth for adobe to work right. Once the terminals were upgraded, worked fine.

Icon Size Within Dock Folders

I would like to change the icon size within the applications folder, it seems rather large, I liked the size of the previous OS icons. It's no big deal but it looks comical compared to the rest of 10.6 visually.

no, that's fixed.

In IE I used different levels of folders for my favourites. After importing I miss the bookmarks of folders within folders within folders etc.

In Internet Explorer it is possible to organize favourites with folders as in firefox. In these folders you can make new folders and within those new folders. Can this tree structure be used in Firefox? After importing most of my favourites are gone, I can find no folders within folders within folders etc. So most of my favourites are not imported from IE.

Thanks for the helpful thoughts LarryHN. I'm having a Mac guy look at my MacBook Pro in the next day or so to see what he can find out. I described the issue on the phone... and like you, he said that saving my documents to a thumb drive shouldn't affect my iPhoto library.
One reason I bought the thumb drive was to back up my iPhoto library, but the time I got to that, it was already gone. I've thought of getting Time Machine (and have checked out other systems), but the reviews are so mixed, I'm dragging my feet on coughing up the cash right now.
When I launch iPhoto, I only see the last few weeks' worth of photos. Oddly, photos I imported 3 weeks ago appear, but are in a folder dated November 2012--when I know I took those and imported them in January 2013. So that's weird...
When I got to iPhoto Library, I have an Auto Import folder with nothing in it. "My Pictures" folder has nothing as well. I did hold down the option key while opening up iPhoto, but only my recent library (a few weeks' worth of photos) appears. I'm using iPhoto 2011 (6.2.3). I can only hope my Mac guy can help...

Files Not Sorting Within Folders

I have my working AppleWorks files on my external HD. Recently the files within folders donot sort. As a test I changed a file name staring with an M to an A. The file did not sort to the top of the list. As far as I can tell nothing has changed within my system. The files on my system HD are OK. The other files on the external HD are OK - only the AW files are wrong.
Under the "view" options the name sort is only available for the Desktop. When I open the external HD or highlight a folder the name sort option is not available. I must be missing something but what..

Problem solved. Clicked on the name column and went from there. So soon we forget!!Bob61

Scaling feature for files within folders.

I purchased Lion yesterday and after a confusing purchase process a little box on the screen said it was installing. I do slide show presentations and really enjoyed the scaling feature for files found on the lower right hand corner within folders. That feature is not available in Lion as far as I can tell. Does anyone know if this feature is still available and can be activated through a preference?
I have found several useful features that were part of Snow Leopard are not available in Lion. To say Lion is better is questionable in my mind. Anyway, one question at a time.
Thanks

When viewing a folder in finder that contains your slide show presentations, you can ctrl click (right click) the background and choose "Show View Options". You can then use the Icon size slider to increase the size of the icons in that folder. The size you choose for that particular folder will be remembered next time you open it.

Automatic sorting of albums within folders

I guess iPhoto still does not have any way (that I could find) of automatically sorting Albums that are within folders.
I know you can drag and drop, but that becomes a pain when you have a large number of Albums.
Anyone have any options for sorting within Folders?

lekos:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you referring to Events in the Events or Photos window? In the Events window you can sort the Events by title or date but in the Photos window Events can only be sorted by Date, either ascending or descending by using the View->Sort menu options.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Pictures not displaying as icons in picture folders

When I open my picture folder while in Finder, some of the nested folders will show previews of the photos as icons, while other folders only show the generic "jpeg" icon. Does anyone know why? My goal is to have the pictures themselves be displayed. Thanks!

Actually, I think the problem is the View setting for the nested folders. Check it and make sure the sub-folder has the option set to display an icon preview. Also, there are different setting options for each type of "view"--and folders can vary in their individual settings. Frankly, I believe the system for setting the view options is confusing and less useful than it used to be, but Apple likes the way it works now, and no one asked me.....

Custom Icon Images for Folders in KM

Hello Everyody,
I have to display folders such as Pesonal Documents, Public documents, Recently used, Favourites etc which are there in the entry point repository in KM. Right now all these folders are being displayed with the default icon image specified. I want to replace these default images with custom images but couldnt see any property where i can change the image path for these folders. I checked the details of all these folders and even went through the properties but there it shows only the default image name speciefied for that folder and no active settings where i can change the image path for custom icon. Kindly suggest how to implement custom image for KM folder icons.
Thanking you all in advance,
Regards,
Sarabjeet.

Hi,
If I understood, you have a KM navigation iview, where some folders apperar. You want to change the icon for each of them differently.
For this do the following:
First have a look into the KM.navigation iview and get the layout set property. Go to System config->KM->Content management->User interface->Settings->LayoutSet and find the layout set you are using. Go to appropriate resource renderer and check the "Icon setting". Change it to: iconreplace.
Now get the KM details for your folders and change the IconSource property to your image Example:
/etc/public/mimes/images/add.gif
Voila...the icons for these folders are changed!
Hope this is your case.

File icons in exported folders

On a Mac You are used to have small thumbnailpictures ( file icons ) in the folders. When you work on a picture in photoshop and save it it has the small pictures. In Capture One You can choose to make the icons when exporting (developing). In Aperture You also get the file icons, but with LR all you get is a jpeg-symbol. I know this perhaps is a minor thing because you can se se and browse the pictures in the library. I also know it is something windows users never had. But I like to look at a folder without to open a program and get an overview. Is there somewhere in the preferences I have overlooked, or is is something that belongs to the past ?
Jan Herrstedt

The preview icons are there, but it is not SMALL PICTURES Alike those embedded in the thumbnail
You have to set the finder "View options" accordingly ...
To be clear, I don't mean the icon of the Preview.app but actual small previews of the images. And theses are not embedded thumbnails, but created by the Finder on the fly. So to answer your original question: Lightroom does not embed thumbnails in exported jpegs (I guess to keep the file size down), but the Finder does not need them to show a preview of the image as its icon.

Multiple titles within one project for sharing to iDVD

Hello,
I have about 90 minutes of video from Christmas.
I want to create one iMovie project from this footage, but separate it into 5 different titles (within the project) each of which will have 2 or 3 chapters, so I can just share the one project with iDVD when burning to a DVD, rather than having to do 5 different projects.
Is this possible?
I've trying for most of the day to figure it out, but I can't.
Can anybody help?
Regards

There are at least two ways to do this depending on what results you want:
One way would be to create five separate iMovies; each with its respective 2-3 chapters and then import the five iMovies into iDVD.
When you import the first one into iDVD, you will see its title and the options 'Play Movie' and 'Scene Selection.'
When you import the second one, iDVD creates a title link to another submenu showing the Play Movie and Scene Selection options for the second movie; and so forth for each of the five movies.
This gives you the five titles on the main iDVD screen, and the chapter options on the submenus. With this method you would not have a "Play All" option unless you import the entire iMovie as the first movie. Then, you would have the 'Play Movie' option (which you could rename as Play All Movies) with the five separate movies as title buttons linking to each one's Play Movie and Scene Selections.
However, if you wanted all five titles and the chapter options to be on iDVD's main screen, you can do this with some copy/paste/delete manipulation of the submenus. If you wish to do this, post back for specific instructions.
Second method would be to leave your iMovie as one long iMovie and create chapter markers for each of the five titles; and markers for each of the chapters within those titles. If you label the chapter markers correctly, a viewer will easily be able to see the organization of your iMovie.
The chapters will appear on submenus...usually 4-6 chapters per submenu. I have done this with iMovies of trips where I marked the first chapter 'Italy: Rome' second 'Venice' third 'Milan' and fourth 'France: Paris' fifth 'Chartres' sixth 'Bordeaux' etc.
This option will allow the iMovie to be selected in its entirety...the Play All option...as well as begin at whatever chapter is selected. By carefully manipulating the submenus, you could easily have each of the five divisions as separate submenus.

Shortcut for selecting multiple files within folders

I'm archiving a load of work on to CD and deleting the files off of my server but keeping the folders on there for reference.
Currently, I am having to SHIFT + click / COMMAND + click &drag to select these files and it is taking me forever.
Is there a keyboard shortcut that allows me to select all files within folders rather than just a select all which will select the folders aswell?

I would switch to list view, then click on the "Kind" column which will group the folders together. Now you can click and drag to select a large range of files, excluding the folders, or you can click on the first file, the Shift click on the last file to select a large range of files. At most you would need to do this twice. Once for files listed above folders, and once for files listed below folders.
If you want to use the Terminal, there are powerful Unix commands that can do this, however, that same power when misused can wipe out your disk :-)
