Icons sort 6 columns wide regardless of icon size

This is probably the most disappointing thing as I was looking forward to being able to easily change the size of icons via the slider. It's actually a very nice feature that Vista/7 have that I use often for previewing jpegs. What's disappointing is that regardless of how wide the finder window and how small the icons are, icons only display in up to 6 columns wide. If I increase the size extremely high, instead of the icons stacking on top of each other, I get a horizontal scrollbar so I have to scroll side to side to see each icon. Why isn't finder smart enough to rearrange the icons on a grid that fits within the window regardless of how wide it is?

Through some more testing I found that this is not an issue provided that you set your folder to sort by any of the sort options. Doing so causes the icons to rearrange themselves when I enlarge the icons. After setting the arrange type and grid spacing to my liking I did "set as defaults". I'm happy now.

  • Setting icon size and sorting in 10.9

    I asked this question in the os X forum. Maybe I can get an answer here.
    The following worked in 10.8 but not in 10.9:
    tell its icon view options
    set icon size to 128
    set shows icon preview to true
    set arrangement to arranged by name
    end tell
    icon size is not set and the icons are not rarranged.
    Apparently icon size is now read only. There must be a way to resize the icons.
    Any ideas?

    For example:
    tell application "Finder"
        activate
        try
            set theName to name of Finder window 1
        on error
            return beep 1 -- no open Finder window
        end try
    end tell
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder"
        tell menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
            if exists menu item "Show View Options" then keystroke "j" using {command down}
        end tell
        repeat until exists (window 1 whose (title is theName) and (subrole is "AXSystemFloatingWindow"))
        end repeat
        tell window 1
            set value of slider 1 of group 1 to 56.0 -- 128 x 128
            tell checkbox "Show icon preview" of group 1
                if value is 0 then click
            end tell
            click pop up button 1
            keystroke "Name" & return -- arrange by name
            click button 1 -- close
        end tell
    end tell
    You should also have a look at Accessibility Preferences and GUI Scripting.

  • I am unable to sort multiple columns in a table created in Pages.

    I had been using Appleworks up until I installed Lion and have now switched to iWork. I created a table within a Pages document and am able to sort a single column (using the Table Inspector and choosing Sort from  Edit Rows and Columns) but the Sort option is grayed out when I attempt to sort multiple columns.
    In another post, someone talked about this being a problem if you have merged fields. I do not believe I have done this (to be honest I don't know the function of merging fields).
    This is very frustrating as I was easily able to sort these tables in Appleworks.

    Thanks for your quick response! I have been trying that but then found that Numbers would only let me print in landscape view so I had to paste the table back into Pages. Is there a way to print in portrat view (from Numbers?)
    Not so. In the lower left corner of the window, there's an icon that looks like a piece of paper. If you see this:
    you are in Sheet View, or normal, mode. If you see this:
    You are in Print View mode. Now you see the icons for portrait and landscape modes. Click your choice. Then arrange your content to fit the pages as you wish.

  • Do not allow to sort some columns in Alv Grid

    Dear friends,
    Please help me.
    I want to tell to the method set_table_for_first_display - make one of the columns not sortable.  Let's say the column name is "My Icon".
    What I mean with that is:
    when User will highlight column "My icon" and then click on sort buttons in the toolbar - no sort will happen on this column.
    I was trying to identify a field in lvc_s_sort which would say "do not sort this column".  Is there any?
    Or the only way to accomplish my task is to make sort buttons in the toolbar disable if column "My Icon" is clicked?
    gt_sort      TYPE lvc_t_sort.
        CALL  METHOD grid1->set_table_for_first_display
             EXPORTING i_structure_name = 'IT'
                       is_layout        = gs_layout
                       is_print         = gs_print
             CHANGING  it_outtab        = it
                       it_fieldcatalog  = gt_fcat
                       it_sort = gt_sort
    Thank you,
    Tatyana.

    Got a solution for ya, but you have to handle it thru coding.   So you will need to handle an event from your ALV grid. 
    First thing is that you need a local class as your event handler,  copy and paste this code.  Here we are using the name ALV_GRID for your alv object
    data: alv_grid       type ref to cl_gui_alv_grid.
    *       CLASS lcl_event_receiver DEFINITION
    class lcl_event_receiver definition.
      public section.
        methods handle_user_command
          for event before_user_command of cl_gui_alv_grid
          importing e_ucomm.
      private section.
    endclass.
    *       CLASS lCL_EVENT_RECEIVER IMPLEMENTATION
    class lcl_event_receiver implementation.
      method handle_user_command.
        data: icols type lvc_t_col,
              xcols like line of icols.
    * Get the currently selected column
        call method alv_grid->get_selected_columns
           importing
             et_index_columns = icols.
        read table icols into xcols index 1.
    * If the selected column is not one that should be sorted
        check xcols-fieldname = 'MATNR'.    "<-- Whatever columns that you don't want to allow sorting on.
    * Now check the function code, if sort ascending or descending, then give message
        check e_ucomm = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_sort_asc
          or  e_ucomm =  cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_fc_sort_dsc.
        message i001(00) with 'Can not sort on this column'.
    * Now set the UCOMM as if the user didn't click anything.
        call method alv_grid->set_user_command( space ).
      endmethod.
    endclass.
    data: event_receiver type ref to lcl_event_receiver.
    Also, you will need to set the event hanlder after calling the SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY.
      call method alv_grid->set_table_for_first_display
          changing
               it_outtab       = i_alv[]
               it_fieldcatalog = ifc[].
    *  Set the handler for ALV grid
      create object event_receiver.
      set handler event_receiver->handle_user_command for alv_grid.
    Just tested this, and works quite well.

  • How do I turn off and on the icon size slider bar at the lower right status bar of a folder window.

    I have been trying for days to help a friend with a new iMac to turn on the icon size slider bar that on my iMac appears at the bottom of ever folder when it is open when in the "view" > "icon" mode.  I cannot find anything that discusses this slider bar.  I can turn this status bar off and on on both my machine and my friends machine, but I cannot turn off or on the slider on either machine. 

    This did not help.  I am a Mac User since 1984 and generally I am never stymied buy the Mac OS, but this one has me.   I can open and close the lower status bar, as you described, and that works fine for me because I have the icon slider bar already there and it works fine; however when I open the lower status bar on my friends machine there is no icon size slider bar, and I can't seem to find out how to get it there, as it is on my machine or at all. The icon size can be controlled from the View menu, but as a photographer, it is really handy to have it at the bottom of the folder window.  Thanks for trying. 

  • Photoshop CC 2014 UI Menu Text And Icon Size?

    so i really like that adobe has added the "experimental" option to increase the ui menu text and icon size in photoshop cc 2014, it was almost unreadable on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor with photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4, but the lone 200% setting is too big... seems that 125%, 150%, or maybe even 175% would be much better solutions. in fact, for reasons i can't quite understand, the ui text and icon size in illustrator cc 2014 is spot on, absolutely perfect on my monitor, even tho there is no option for increased ui size as far as i can tell, it was spot on the moment i installed and launched it.
    in short, the photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4 user interfaces were identical in size as far as i could tell, and far too small on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor. in terms of cc 2014, the illustrator ui is perfect out of the box on my monitor, considerably larger than illustrator cs4, while the photoshop cc 2014 ui is identical to cs4, tiny, but can be enlarged 200% which makes the ui too big. why couldn't/didn't adobe just make the photoshop cc 2014 base ui the exact same size as the illustrator cc 2014 ui? it would have been perfect (for my monitor size).

    thanks... just wish illustrator cc 2014 wasn't so perfect in terms of ui size, i mean it's just great and, consequently, makes it seem as if the ball was dropped with photoshop cc 2014... i mean how can one be spot on while the other be so far off?

  • How to sort a column directly after data is filled into the grid?

    Hello,
    I have a unbound field X, which is filled on fly in the RowLoaded2 column. If I click on the column header, I am able to sort the column.
    I want to sort the column directly, but all attempts have failed.
    I have tried to call in <anchor>_OnUpdate
    <anchor>.bcol.Sort( "X", "ASC") but it does not work as long as the property is not mapped to a Segment field of a bdoc. For this test i just created my property X on the Business Objects behind the tablegrid
    I have used <tablegridcontrol>.sortCol = 2, but it results into a StackOverflowException even for any other column.
    Is there no way to sort the colum in this special kind of situation?
    Regards,
    Andreas

    Hi,
    you have to consider that when loading a tile for the first time always rowloaded2 is fired (several times) and afterwards onload. Maybe rowloaded2 again afterwards. So it should work to sort in onload.
    But when clicking the <back> button in the menue the order of the fired events might be different!
    Do you want to sort by an unbound column which is readonly or is it also editable (see other thread)? In this case things might be much more complicate... Normally another sorting should be done in onsave event but unfortunately you don't save anything as it is unbound...

  • Is there any way to do a mass copy and paste of song titles from the "name" column to the "sort name" column? I know it can be done with individual titles but I have over 6,000 titles in my library.

    Thank you. I have heard of Logic Pro 7, but I have never personally used it. I'm still growing in the world of Composition, and I know that it is something I will be studying in one of my Computer Music classes coming up for my degree. I think it is something I will look into getting once I can justify the price of it. I guess for the time being, I will continue to play and grow in my ability to use and take advantage of GB, and then see what I can do about or with Logic Pro when I'm ready. The thought of spending $1000 for a program is hard to bite, because I've already spent a lot to produce my music, not only electronic music, but also chamber music and so on. I had no idea it would be so expensive to dive deep into the world of composition! lol.
    Finale 2007: $500
    Sibelius 4: $500
    Jam Packs: $400
    Midi Keyboard Interface: $100
    PowerBook: $1700
    Printer for printing scores and analysis: $150
    Logic Pro 7: Oy!
    As you can see it adds up very quickly...that doesn't even include my personal instruments and study materials.
    Thank you for your input, as I haven't really worked much with LP, and therefore didn't know which features are available. I will talk with some of my Composition buddies, and professors and see what they have to say as well, and who knows, I may be able to get the express version through one of them.

  • Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom?  I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

    Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom in iOS 7?  I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

    Hello Apple.
    It seems you have gone to great lengths to improve accessibility in many areas of the iPad. Why was this obvious problem with icon text size missed?  (It's not with the Mac.). And for so long too.
    Do you employ people with actual accessibility problems to help you do UI design?
    I think too, that some buttons are too close for people who might have motor control problems.
    I love my iPad but I fear as I age, the iPad might not keep up with me.

  • Calendar in Yosemite does not comply to Sidebar icon size setting?

    The icon size and the font size in the sidebar of System apps can be set in
    System Prefs => General => Sidebar icon size
    The Finder of OS X 10.10 does react to this setting, Mail.app does and in Mavericks also Calendar.app did.
    On my MBP running Yosemite, Calendar v8.0 always shows quite large icons and a large font in the sidebar.
    Is this a problem of my installation, or is it "normal"?
    There are other problems of the Calendar sidebar, for example I am unable to enlarge the sidebar to show longer names of individual calendars.

    If you want the calendar entries that you create on the phone to sync with the gmail, you need to create the entry in the gmail calendar on the phone.  If you create it in the phone calendar, it is only on the phone.
    Usually at the very top of the new event entry you have a choice of which calendar to create this event in.  Either Phone, gmail or any other option you have synced to your phone.  To get it to sync to the gmail calendar you need to select the gmail calender.

  • Sort table columns in a table and context created dinamically

    Hello all,
    I have implemented the table sorting several times in another developments, but now I'm facing a problem.
    I have created the table and context node that I need to sort dinamically (before somebody ask me why, I would say that it's the only way to do that for my current project, there was no possibility of doing that in dessign time). I have implemented the table sorting more or less the same way I would do with a table created in dessing time, but when I run my WD the sorting of columns doesn't work.
    In the wdDoModifyView, I have put the following code:
    if(firstTime){
    IWDAction ordenacion     = wdThis.wdCreateAction(IPrivateResultDispGlobalView.WDActionEventHandler.ORDENACION,  null);
    IWDParameters param = ordenacion.getActionParameters();
    param.addParameter("nombreNodo",nombreNodo);
    and in the code of the action
        //@@begin onActionOrdenacion(ServerEvent)
         System.err.println("**** NOMBRE NODO **** "+nombreNodo);
         wdContext.currentContextElement().getTableSorter().sort(wdEvent, wdContext.getChildNode(nombreNodo, IWDNode.LEAD_SELECTION));
        //@@end
    The name of the node ("nombreNodo) it's only correct the first time I click on a column.
    Has anybody implemented the table sorting in a dinamically created table and context node? And how do you do to make it works.
    Thank you very much

    Here is the code
    //Preparamos Navegaciones
    IWDAction abrirProyecto = wdThis.wdCreateAction(IPrivateResultDispGlobalView.WDActionEventHandler.ABRIR_PROYECTO, null);
    IWDAction abrirDisp     = wdThis.wdCreateAction(IPrivateResultDispGlobalView.WDActionEventHandler.ABRIR_DISPONIBLE,  null);
    //IWDAction ordenacion     = wdThis.wdCreateAction(IPrivateResultDispGlobalView.WDActionEventHandler.ORDENACION,  null);
    IWDAction ordenacion=wdThis.wdGetOrdenacionAction();
    IWDParameters param = ordenacion.getActionParameters();
    param.addParameter("nombreNodo",nombreNodo);
    IWDTable table = wdThis.wdGetInformesController().crearTabla(view, nombreNodo, movimientosInfo,new String[]{"Codi Projecte",null,"Nom Projecte", "Import Projecte", "Client", "Increment Disponible futur per facturació no emesa i / o anualitats pendents","Increment Disponible futur per ingressos pendents de cobrar", "Disponible"},new String[]{"10px", null,"10px", "10px","10px","10px","10px","10px"},new IWDAction[]{abrirProyecto,null, null, null, null,null,null,abrirDisp}, -1);

  • Changing the column wide in CSE in CCM

    Hi Experts,
    Is there any other way to setup the column wide in CSE in CCM?
    Currently we display the long text, but now the end-user needs to scroll to the right to see all the data/info which we don't want.
    The options we have are
    a) setting it up in such a way that for example only part of the long text is shown. This can be done in BAdI /CCM/CSE_ENRICHMENT
    b) or make the long text only visible in detailed screen. But this is not what we want, the end-user must see the data immediately.
    So is there any other way to control the column wide in the CSE in CCM?
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Marius Hartman

    Hi Marius,
    There is no way to modify the column width without modifying the related BSP, this technology is BSP not CCM, CCM has no control over the screens in this case. Perhaps if you wish to find out how to perform this modification then someone in the forums (Basis) will be able to help with the BSP MOD.

  • Pages:  How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

    How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?  I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table.  It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well.  I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

    Hi Peter,
    Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
    In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
    iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
    As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
    With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
    In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.

  • Change icon size in dock

    I upgraded to OS X 10.9 from Mountain Lion. The icons on my dock (which I have on the right hand side of my screen) all became smaller with the upgrade. When I move the slider bar in dock settings (in system preferences) from small to large the icons do not change size as they did in Mountain Lion. Is this a bug in Mavericks or do I need to do something besides moving the slider bar from small to large? Thanks.
