Increase number of items in Menu Go Recent Folders?

I know that there are lots of ways to find a recently opened folder (e.g. Spotlight, DefaultFolder, etc.), but I was wondering whether there is a way (by tweaking the system preferences via Terminal?) so that I could increase the number of folders beyond the default 10 that are listed in the drop down menu (Finder > Menu > Go > Recent Folders)?
IAW... I'd like to simply be able to access more recently opened folders using the Go menu drop down.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Kappy... thanks for responding.
What you suggested does increase the "Recent ITEMS" listings but it does not change the menubar > Go > Recent Folders listings.
I go through so many files each day that it would be an incredibly long list even when looking for something in a few folders.
The advantage of the Go > Recent Folders is that if I was able to list 20-30 folders... it would just speed things up for me (with the way I work... not saying this would necessarily be the best way for everyone).
Sure Spotlight can find recent folders for me, but it just takes too many steps... especially with the columns' bug. Where it won't even allow you to select/expand columns until you first click on an opened window, or Command-N (to open another window), or click on the Desktop and then click on the column header in the Search window... before the Search window will allow you to work with the columns. Very time consuming when you are working with a huge number of lookups.
Again... thanks.

How increase number of items in sidebar

I seem to be geting a roll over in sidebar items. Is there a limit, and, if so, how can the number of items allowed be increased?

I don't know if an actual figure for the maximum
number of sidebar items has been published, let alone
how to increase the limit if there is one.
I do remember someone posting that they could no
longer add items to the bottom of the list after a
certain point, but they could continue to add items
to the upper part of the list. It seems that these
zones also affect the ability to rearrange items as
well - attempting to rearrange in the lower part
causes the item to be removed with no option to
cancel the action, whereas items in the upper part
could be dragged around at will. I suppose at that
point the ".plist" file could be edited manually if
things in the lower part needed to be rearranged.
Edit: Here's the post. This isn't an issue I'm
familiar with, but there may be others if you try
searching the forums...

Thanks! I will ty adding items to the top section and see what affect it has. I suspect there is a way to set the number of items. Hoeever, it is not life threatening, just anoying.

Easy question - how to increase number of recent files in menu?

This is for CS5 if it matters.
I'm an infrequent Illustrator user (at best) but I have what I hope is an easy question: I want to increase number of recent files showing in the menu.
I can't find a preferece to set such as in PS and almost every other application on the face of the earth. I've tried to reset the preferences file (start Illustrator with ctrl-alt-shift held down) but I'm stuck at 4 files, which I assume is the anemic default option.
Is there an easy way to do this that Adobe has hidded somewhere? As expected, it can't be found in the help, I can't find it on the forums, or even on the net, but I do know it can be done because I can see other installs showing lots of files in the list.
thanks for any help.

This might be because of a new feature that you can turn off for each object, and alltogether. When you create a new document at the bottom, make sure 'Align New Objects to Pixel Grid' is unchecked. After you have created a new file, you can still go into the 'TRANSFORM' palette (SHIFT+8), use the little right top menu, and make sure 'Align New Objects to Pixel Grid' is unchecked. And if you want to get fancy with each object; you can select an object, and look at the 'TRANSFORM' palette at the bottom is a place to uncheck the 'Align to Pixel Grid' at your disposall.
Before I found this, it ruined my week.

Recent folders in "GO" menu: how to increase the amount it remembers.

On my computer it remembers the last 10 folders I opened. Is there a way of increasing this that anybody knows of? Lets say 20.
Thanks.

Jim Thank you

Now I understand what you mean. You expect to see a separate entry for Folders
in the Sys.Pref.>Number of Recent Items.
Not really, I like to change the amount of folders it remembers under 'GO'. K Shaffer made the first reference to the settings being in System Preference> Appearance, but they are not. this are the settings for Apple Symbol>Appearance. Not the 'GO' pull down, 5 to the right from the Apple Symbol.
That makes sense now. But, if you open all the folders in say HD,
I did just now open 20 folders.
they will be listed in the Go tab>Recent Folders.
No only 10, and if I open 20 other ones it lists the last 10.
SO, although it isn't mentioned in Sys,Prefs. it does include Folders. I just tried it. That can as already mentioned, change up to 50.
all 3 settings in System Preference> Appearance for
-Applications
-Documents
-Servers
are set to 30 and this is what influences the settings in the Apple menu, there I see the last 30 -Applications -Documents-Servers. but nothing changes in the in the 'GO' menu>Recent Folders. Max there is still 10.
So my question is am I stupid? or are we not communicating? or is your OS deferent? I tried it in 10.4 and 10.5 and I can not find a setting that influences it.
Looking forward to solving this one.

Windows Azure Active Directory MA - Maximum number of items that can be serialized or deserialized in an object graph is '500000'. Change the object graph or increase the MaxItemsInObjectGraph quota.

Trying to use WAAD with FIM 2010 R2 SP1 (4.1.3496.0) and during export several objects cause a warning/info with:
Maximum number of items that can be serialized or deserialized in an object graph is '500000'. Change the object graph or increase the MaxItemsInObjectGraph quota.
I looked, this appears hard coded into the MA, anyone know what causes this? My best guess is something like a large group membership? Does anyone know what the limits around the WAAD MA are?

RESTORE 'NUMBER OF ITEMS' AND 'SPACE AVAILABLE' IN OPEN WINDOW

something we seem to have lost in LION is the useful number of items and memory avail or used
at the bottom of windows/drive windows. any way to restore?

Open the Finder menu and set the options:
Finder -> View -> Show Status Bar
and
Finder -> View -> Show Path Bar
and you will see this information again

How can I view the number of items I have in a folder on Mac 10.9.2 (Mavericks)?

I have only been using Mac OS X 10.9.2 (Mavericks) for a little while so I'm having to deal with many inconveniences that I didn't have to face with Mac OS X 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard). It's frustrating that 10.9.2 (Mavericks) doesn't let me tap twice on the trackpad in order move or drag something, but at least I figured out how to do this in a different way. One part that I cannot figure out is how to view the number of files in each folder. With Snow Leopard, I was able to view the number of files on that folder automatically by looking at the bottom of the folder (*See the example on the photo). On the bottom of that folder, you will see the number of items, which it 10. Every time I add new files (or folders within that folder), it will update the number of items to the appropriate number. This is especially useful to me if I'm going to have many items within a folder and when I need to make sure that the number I have is exact. For example, sometimes I have to save files in a precise number and order. If I miss saving a file with a specific number, and I don't catch that the number of items is off as early as possible, I may have to waste time looking through files to try to figure out what is missing. For this reason, I have to find a convenient way to view the number of items in each folder with Mac OS 10.9.2 (Mavericks) or else using it will be a hassle.
Now that I'm using Mac OS X 10.9.2 (Mavericks), I don't see any information on the folder that tells me how many items are in it (*See photo below). I keep looking to see if it's located somewhere else on the folder or if I can change the folder preferences to make it become visible. I also clicked on the folder and on "Get Info" (which would be inconvenient if I had to do this constantly). This showed me the number of items in that folder but I can't always keep checking like this because it's time-consuming and distractive.
I need to find a way to make the number of items appear on the folder itself, while it is open.
Do you know a convenient way to view the number of items in a folder?
Is there some way I can change the preferences so that the number becomes visible on the folder itself?

Open the Finder's View menu and choose 'Show Status Bar'.

How to submit a bug report for OSB? - restore fails if number of items per page is changed from the default of 30

In the OSB web gui, one of my users found that if the number of items per page is changed from the default of 30, the restore of the file will fail. He tested this using recent versions of Firefox and IE. We have verified this to also be the case using Chrome.
In a directory containing over 100,000 files, moving 30 at a time to find the one to be restored is a very frustrating user experience.
How do I file a bug report for this issue? Is there a workaround for this bug to enable my users to more easily find the file to restore without being restricted to the default of 30 items per page?

Yes there is a bug in the webtool in the current release. You can use the commandline obtool to do the restore, that is much faster and works fine.
Thanks

Does Anyone Know How to Display Number of Items in a Folder?

After "upgrading" to Lion, none of my folder display the number of items in the folder --a nice bit of information that was available in earlier versions of the operating system. Is there an automatic way to see that information? [I imagine there are other really inconvenient ways, but is there a nice CONVENIENT setting I haven't figured out?] THANKS.

From your View menu in Finder choose "Show status bar"
EDIT: Also there is QuickLook which is no longer on the toolbar of the Finder window but you can choose from "Customize Toolbar".

How to increase the line items against the std no of line items in MIGO

hi,
I have PO with more than 100 line items
During GR system is showing the error message as
Maximum number of items F1 reached
What is the standard no of line items in MIGO
And how to increase the line items
Is there any notes to apply
plz give sutable solution
K.Raghuram

Do you get message F5727 "Maximum number of items in FI reached"? reason is that in FI the posting line has a three-digit line item number (BSEG-BUZEI).
SAP's note 117708 provides a modification. I am pasting solution below.
Via the summarization you can post documents with more than 999 items in
FI.
The modification required for this is small, in addition you have to
change 2 tables. The modification is carried out in FI not in invoice
verification.
To activate document summarization in FI proceed as follows:
- The changes are described in Note 36353 and for the
modification in Note 77161. You may also have to apply Note
67640 so that the document summarization affects inventory
management.
An advice for the notes:
36353: Solution point 3: Field name WERKS
77161: Solution point 2: Maintain table TTYPV with Transaction
SE16
- this has the following effects; you can no longer clear the
GR/IR clearing account on purchase order item level (but only
on purchase order level) and you can only display the FI data
summarized (also see Note 36353)

A/c Error 'Maximum number of item in FI reached' during invoice posting

Sohail

dear
maximum number of accounting line items is 999.
if the total number of line items exceeds that value .. it would cause the error ....
speak to FI guy and abap guy ..may be it could be increased but as far as i know its not changeable.
you just need to reduce the items and processes in parts..

Display number of items in Get Info results?

Our studio has finally made the jump to OS-X (Tiger) from OS-9. (Okay... I'll admit we had a bit of an "encounter" with Windows XP in the interim...)
Part of our production workflow sees 1000's of folders/files routinely moved around from various media - CF card to hard-drive, DVD to external hard-drive etc. As part of our SOP, after a large transfer of important files, we check both the source drive/folder and the destination drive/folder to ensure the item count is the same.
In OS-9, Apple accomodated this step in the Get Info window by showing the number of items in any given volume or folder. In OS-X, it seems to be gone. Surely I'm missing something...
If Apple truly has done away with this feature (bad move from a production standpoint IMHO) is there a third-party patch or app that can display the number of items in any given folder or volume?
Thanks-

G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I made an Automator action, which I can access with a control click on any folder.
1. Launch Automator, click on Finder in the Library, then drag the "Get Selected Finder Items" from Actions into construction area
2. Click on Automator in the Libray, select Run Applescript in Actions and drag it into the work area
3. Paste in this Applescript:
tell application "Finder"
count every file of entire contents of (selection as alias) --files only
display dialog ((the result) as string) & " Files" & "." buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end tell
4. Go to menu item File and select Save As Plugin, fill in the name and have it as a plug-in for Finder. It will be saved to
"/Users/username/Library/Workflows/Applications/Finder/FileCount.workflow"
which will appear in the Automator section of your control click contextual menu.
This counts files only. If you want to include files and folders you will need to change the Applescript.

Error: List View Threshold. The number of items in this list exceeds the list view threshold, which is 5000 items.

Hi, i had created a SharePoint List in cloud ( office 365) using List Template.
List template contains 12000 items taken as template from SharePoint on Premise.
I am getting this error message, in SharePoint Online (Office 365)
The number of items in this list exceeds the list view threshold, which is 5000 items. Tasks that cause excessive server load (such as those involving all list items) are currently prohibited.
How to resolve it, to get data in my SharePoint list, any help will be appreciated.

With O365 lists over 5k items are now officially supported but they will have limited behaviour due to the threshold. There are no workarounds or options to increase the threshold either temporarily, for specific users or for the list itself as you have
with on-prem.
You'll need to remove enough items to get it below the threshold limit, add indexed columns to support indexed views, then re-add the items again. This article is for 2010 but the section around indexed columns and views is still accurate:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262813(v=office.14).aspx
It may be possible to add the indexes on your on-prem list where you can increase/avoid the threshold, then re-export the list. That would rely upon the list creation script adding indexes before it uploads items but it's a logical assumption.
