Is there a way to automate opening folders.

Hello to all,
Does 10.6 have the ability to give key commands to opening folders? I would like to automate opening folders with key commands.
Thank You for any help
Marco

Yes, But I have probably eight or ten folders or files that I use, and it would make everything kind of small.
I was looking at the "automator" in the applications folder. I'm wondering if I can use that, or maybe scripting. I have never used either programs and I am not sure how they work.

  • Is there a way to automatically open the Activity Viewer & make it float?

    I just upgraded from Panther Mail, and I really miss knowing what was going on and having to constantly open the activity viewer and reordering the windows every time I do something. Is there a way to somehow make the activity viewer open with mail each time and keep it floating above the other windows (so I can have an indication of what's going on like in Panther Mail)?
    I'm afraid I'm going to shut mail down in the middle of a crucial activity. No doubt that might well be behind all the problems that develop with it over time.
    Thanks!

    I had two problems relating directly to the Tiger upgrade, one I solved with help here. That was importing saved mail that failed to be imported into one mailbox, the saved messages were showing up as IMAP messages ("haven't been downloaded from the server yet"). When both my accounts were POP, I never even had an IMAP account. I solved that and everything else with mail is fine now, except I want to see what's going on like I was able to in Panther. I especially miss not seeing outgoing mail sent progress, especially with long messages.
    The other issue was font related, and I still cannot get Fontbook to save the fonts I have disabled, so I just removed the duplicates manually (leaving the ones in the system folder as the defaults). As long as I don't open fontbook again, and it doesn't automatically re-enable the fonts, my system is fine. I will leave it alone now for a couple of years like I was able to in Panther. I have over 3000 fonts installed and available at all times which I need for my print work.
    Other than that and a 25 minute log-in time (as it reads the fonts; in Panther it was 7 minutes and I learned to live with that) everything is finally ok.
    The long log-in might also be Spotless related; I don't know enough about it to figure it out; all I know is if it is, it is a small price to pay for the way the system flies not having to index all my loaded drives all the time, not to mention the wear and tear on my drives.
    Tiger is so much faster than Panther (once I shut down Spotlight) it's like having a processor upgrade. Once you work out all the glitches, it's definitely worth the money and time put in. I was very careful with the install... counting backup time the usual precautions and updates to everything afterward (including third-party programs), it took over 30 hours.
    Thanks!

  • Is there a way to have bookmark folders automatically collapsed in Safari when adding bookmarks?  This would be a huge convenience in navigating to the right folder w/o having to deal with an eye chart of a folder tree.

    Is there a way to have bookmark folders automatically collapsed in Safari when adding bookmarks?  This would be a huge convenience in navigating to the right folder w/o having to deal with an eye chart of a folder tree.

    Myself as well...
    I think it is a tremendous problem. Im my case it is extremelly important to manage, organize and sort favorites.
    I am new to Mac and safari... and I spent a lot of time researching a solution for that thinking it was me that couldnt find this option. I like to use safari because of the "gestures". This is great. But when it comes to favorites, safari is a nightmare!!!
    Also, I use to like the option in Firefox that we can have the leftside bar with the favorites and navigate to the links in the right. In safari the links are open in the full page. And then we need to come back to the favorite everytime.
    I would be glad if someone could come out with good solution or suggestions how to deal with it in fafari.

  • Is there a way to automatically insert the filename in the footer of a spreadsheet using iWork's numbers 3.2?

    Is there a way to automatically insert the filename of a spreadsheet into the footer when using iworks numbers 3.2?  iworks 09 had this feature and I can't find this feature in the new version of numbers.

    Hi rhyolite,
    In Numbers 3.x, The Print View and Layout View have gone (for now at least). Page Headers and Footers can only be reached under Menu > File > Print... to open Print Preview. Hover the cursor to reveal the Page Header and Footer fields.
    The only inserts that I can get to work in Print Preview are Page Number, Page Count and Date & Time. Filename is no longer in the Insert menu.

  • Is there a way to automate Reaktor in Logic 7

    Thanks soo much!

    The best way to automate any NI instrument in Logic is to use Kore from NI.
    Kore opens as a pi and acts as host to single or multiple AU instances. Kore hardware has 8 buttons and 8 controllers assigned to control all parameters (all set up in factory presets, but also user controllable)
    When you open a software instrument in Logic using kore, Logic automatically assigns automation to 8 pages of the 16 controls. You do not need to set this up in Logic's cdontroller assignments, it happens automatically
    so if I open a sound in reactor I have no instant automation
    If I open the same sound in Kore I get up to 64 continuous controllers and 64 on/off switches instantly.
    I still find it hard to come to terms with how well kore works and how simple it is to use. Highly recommended.

    Is there a way to automatically add another of the same page while a form is being filled?
    I have a two-page form of which the second page is essentially a spreadsheet analog.  Often, there is need for for more lines than are available on the page.  Is there a way in which to add another or even multiple copies of the second page? 
    Thanks ahead...

    You can do that with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer, which comes with Acrobat Pro for Windows. For more information, you can ask over at the LiveCycle Designer forum.

  • Is there a way we can open/close posting periods on a "per day" basis?

    Hi SAP gurus,
    Is there a way we can open/close posting periods on a per day basis?
    It is not possible in OB52 since it only has control per period and not per day.
    Will assign points for suggestions. =) Thanks!

    Hii
    In standard SAP there is not such functionality where u can do these kind of configuration...it is at least for a month that is through OB52.

    hope it helps u

  • Is there a way to automate the CFX tags installation?

    Hello,
    I'm currently in the process of re-installing a web farm of ColdFusion 8 servers (W2K8, IIS 7.5).
    I have to install a number of CFX tags (C++) on each server to get the code running.
    Is there a way to automate the installation of the CFX tags (regedit imports, VBS, PowerShell...)?
    I found some link indicating that keys should be imported in the registry at: HKLM\Software\Allaire, but Allaire does not even exist in this branch (I believe that the instructions were true of older versions of CF).
    I installed one of the tags manually and noticed that the file neo-runtime.xml was updated with:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <wddxPacket version="1.0">
      <header/>
      <data>

    Can I simply add the XML node to get it running?
    Thanks in advance for any lead to the solution.

    This is great! but I'm not there yet. I figured how to assign little midi triggered melodies to a touch track. I used to do stuff like this on an old Buchla years ago. How do I get the automation on the midi track to control the filter on an audio track? I created regions with the automation I want on a midi track, then I assigned those regions to keys with touch tracks. How do I get that to control the filter on the audio track?
    thanks,

  • HT202299 Is there a way to automatically upload videos that last more than 5 minutes on icloud ?

    I saw that icloud has a limitation of 5 minutes on the videos :
    Is there a way to automatically upload videos that last more than 5 minutes from iphoto/photos ?
    I'm trying to find a way to store my photo library on the cloud, AND keep to acces to each photos/videos from the net (not just storing the .iphotolibrary on the icloud folder) but i cant do it for the videos of more than 5min ...

    I believe you are probably referring to iCloud photo sharing. If you wait a while, the next version of Yosemite will include the new Photos application which will sync video through the iCloud photo library feature.

  • Is there a way to automatically detect and delete duplicate photos in a library

    I just imported a load of photos into my main iPhoto '11 Library from several older MAC's Photo Libraries. Despite repeatedly using the "Don't Import Duplicate Photos" dialogue box, I have many duplicate photos. Is there a way to automatically detect and delete Duplicate Photos?
    I also have iPhoto Library Manager installed on my MAC, but cannot seem to locate on it anything that would do this.
    I have over 4,000 photos, so would really appreciate some help here! Thanks in advance...

    duplicate annihilator - http://www.brattoo.com/propaganda/
    And NEVER import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library - doing so des not work and creates massive duplication
    if you still have all of the original iPhoto libraries I recommend you drag the bad one you created to the desktop (delete it later when everythin has successfully been completed) and start over usin iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to merge the libraries

  • Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig)?

    Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig).
    I know (in hindsight) that I can manually export it from the Airport Utility, but ideally I would like to include it in my Time Machine backup. I had a situation where my Airport Extreme (3rd generation) just stopped working (no lights, no power). I had not exported the config file. I bought a new Airport Extreme (5th generation) and had to manually configure the new router.
    Thanks

    One option would be to use Automator and record the actions to run the AirPort Utility; save the configuration file to the desktop (or any other location you want), and then, close the utility. You can then either make this a part of your login startup programs. Time Machine then should be able to make backups.

    Is there a way to automatically import artwork for music already in library?
    I just transferred all my music from a PC into my new mac.
    I saw a widget that fetches the album artwork from the web. great fun!!!
    Now is there a way to fetch all these artworks automatically.
    I did not use istore to buy the music - but imported from my cd collection.
    Thanks.
    What a great system - simple and no hassles. Thanks Apple. Goodbye PC.

    If you are using AlbumArt widget you can do this with the widget interface.

    I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
    Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

  • Is there a way to automatically refresh a webpage in Firefox 3.6.10?

    hi there,
    I am hoping the Firefox team can help with a small problem, is there a way of automatically refreshing webpages within Firefox 3.6.10 and 4.06 beta? We are building an interesting website at the moment and the client is using Firefox 3.6.10to view the site. Each time they go onto the new website to see the changes we have done, they are shown old pages. We need to rectify this problem as quickly as possible, for our client without requesting that they refresh the page each time they go onto the site.

    You can do that by changing a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # In the filter box type '''browser.cache''' to bring up a small number of preferences
    # Double-click on the preference '''browser.cache.check_doc_frequency''' and change its value to '''1'''
    For more details on that preference see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.check_doc_frequency
