Keeping the Desired Size of Finder Windows

I want to change the default size for any Finder window while in Cover Flow mode. I successfully set the Cover Flow mode, as well as a few other options about icon size, etc., to cover all new Finder windows. However, I do not see any way to maintain the size of the Finder window to keep me at the same default size. Is there any way I can set this?
Thanks,

I found the answer to my own question:
Command-click on the window name to show the path of the file displayed. The select the enclosing folder of that fil

Icon size in Finder window

This has gotta be an FAQ, but I can't find it. How does one change the size of icons that appear both in the Sidebar of Finder windows, and in the main part of Finder windows? I found how to change icon size for Desktop icons, but I want to change the size of icons within Finder windows.
Thanks!
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi,
thanks for the star too!
I'm afraid I don't understand what didn't work... Mmmm...
What I tested on my own computer (I also run 10.4.8) was that
1/ I opened my home folder
2/ my files are in "Icon view"
3/ I went to the pull down menu at the top of the computer and chose View
4/ I selected Show View Options (or Apple + J)
5/ A window opened that allowed me to change the size of the icons in that window and also gave the possibility to change the size in all windows.
I'm sorry if I was not clear before.
Francine gave you the best option anyway. Thanks again!

Is there a folder limit in the sidebar of a finder window?

Is there a limit to the number of folders one can put in the sidebar of a finder window? For example, I am supportng a user that currently has 47 folders in the sidebar, and would like to add more, but she can only insert them at a certain point in the list (after this point the finder will just not allow you to add anything to the sidebar). If a folder is inserted, other folders don't disappear, they just get moved down, which is why I'm thinking it's not a hard limit. The point at which the finder won't insert new items is fairly random as well, but above this point is never a problem.
Is there a way around this? IS it a pref problem? I didn't try moving her prefs file(s) because she has an important function at my company and can't afford much downtime.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi jkrish,
Based on my research, a table is limited by available client and server memory (or browser page size constraints) theoretically. If you are on a 32-bit machine, the worker process that is processing this has less than 2 gigabytes of memory to work with,
probably closer to 1 gigabyte when you factor in kernel mode memory. If you are going to be serving up large reports like this, you probably need a 64-bit setup with at least 4 gigs of memory or more on the box. This setup will allow the worker process to
allocate more than 2 gigs of usable memory to complete these large requests without issue.
Furthermore, adding page breaks can improve the performance of published reports because only the items on each page have to be processed as you view the report. So in order to reduce the report process time, I suggest that you can try to add page break.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Iphoto to MobileMe : keep the original size?

Hi,
Is there any way I can upload a pic from Iphoto to MobileMe keeping the original size of the picture ?
Indeed, the picture is reduced when I download it from the gallery.
Thanks a lot!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Yes there is. When you go to upload your Album or Event the Publish window drops down
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Click on 'Advanced Options'
and then you can decide what size you want to make available for downloading

Can you drag the bottom right corner? You can in Snow Leopard, and I imagine you can in Lion.

Here is my suggestion:
Open a blank, new file (File>new>blank file) size 8.5x11"
Open the collage
Go to Select>all
Go to Edit>copy
Go back to the blank file created in step #1
Go to Edit>paste. The collage will be on its own layer
Access the move tool, and with the corner handles resize the collage. Using the corner handles should preserve the aspect ratio. If you open the rulers, you will have a point of reference as you go along.
Print a draft copy to see if it will be suitable in the frame..
Please report back with your progress.

Why can't I get any devices to show in the sidebar of a finder window?

Until recently I had devices (hard drives, DVD's, disk images, etc show up under devices in the sidebar of a finder window. Now none of these items show up. In Finder Preferences>Sidebar>Devices I nave all 4 checked (Bob's Mac Pro, Hard disks, External disks and CDs, DVDs and iPods). I tried rebooting. I tried unchecking the 4 boxes and rechecking them to no avail. It's annoying that I have to find an icon on the desktop to open these items. Any suggestions?
This is a Mac Pro running 10.9.5.

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.sidebarlists.plist. Move the .plists to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plists from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plists to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Exported video size smaller than original video size. How do I keep the original size?

I exporting a video from Adobe Premiere CS6 today, and I noticed the video was about 1/2 times smaller than the original video I put in. I then uploaded the video on YouTube, and the size was still the same. I tried to change the preset to 1080p 29.97, 1080p 25, etc. and the same with 720p, and 480p, but the size only changed slightly.

How can I reduce the size of a photo proportionally. With my old Mac mini I was able to place the pointer on the bottom right corner hold the shift key until I achieved the desires size.

How can I reduce the size of a photo PROPORTIONALLY? With my old Macmini I was able to place the pointer on the bottom right corner of the picture, hold down the shift key and move the pointer to achieve the desired size.

You'll need to use a 3rd party editor like one of these:
Some Image Editors That Support layers:
Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
Rainbow Painter - $30
Imagerie - $38
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
Portraits and Prints - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
Xee 2.1 - free
My personal preference would be for Photoshop Elements for Mac. Most of these will let you select and copy a head from one photo, paste it into another photo, resize and place where you need it.
PSE has a specific feature just for that function. I belive the Adobe site for PSE has a demo video of that feature.

Thank you. I used to be able to Export from Quark to Acrobat without any problems when I was using Acrobat 7. Just changed to Acrobat 8 and have this problem. My 8.5x11 pages become 33x44 inches when exported to Acrobat 8. 400% increase in size. I don't know why. I tried Printing my Quark file to Adobe PDF and that worked. Thank you for your help.

How to set the minimum size of app window?

Hi JavaFX experts :)
Is it possible to limit the minimum size of application window? What would be the JavaFX equivalent of the following SWING code?
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Application Title");
        frame.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(320, 240));
        frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(640, 480));Preferred or initial size was easy (width/height), but what about the minimum size?
Stage {
    title: "Application Title"
    width: 640
    height: 480
    scene: Scene {
        content: [
            // some content
}Thanks!

var stage: Stage;
var stageWidth = stage.width on replace
    if (stageWidth < 640) stageWidth = 640;
var stageHeight = stage.height on replace
    if (stageHeight < 400) stageHeight = 400;
stage = Stage {
    title: "Application Title"
    width: bind stageWidth with inverse
    height: bind stageHeight with inverse
    scene: Scene {
        content: [
            // some content
}It doesn't prevent resizing to smaller dimensions but it restores to minimal dimension if done.

Lance Club,
Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal. At the prompt, copy and paste the following text into the Terminal window, then press <RETURN>:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">sudo chown `id -u` /Applications/.DS_Store</pre>

How to keep the Labels and text boxes same size when the window is maximized to fit the screen.Either : By using a suitable LayoutManager other than GridLayout.
Or: Enclose each label and text box (what the heck is a text box?) in a container with a suitable layout manager and arrange those containers in a GridLayout (or any other layout).

Missing file sizes in finder window

I can’t seem to find how to get OSX to display all file and folder sizes in the size column of my finder windows. I’ve tried using the show view options (command-J) and this seems to work for all except folders and Keynote files. Does anyone know how to fix this, especially for Keynote files?
Mark

No, there is no checkbox labeled as such. If I choose the "calculate all sizes" checkbox, all of the values come up now. However, if I also choose the "all windows" checkbox, it seems as though this change only works for the current window since if I open up another folder on my drive, I'm back to square one with missing file/folder sizes. Any way to make this change universal throughout the system?

Increasing icon size in finder window

In Snow Leopard I was able to increase the size of icons in any finder window by pinching out. I seem to have lost that ability after upgrading to Lion. This was a great feature, especailly for folders with photos in them. Does anyone know how to bring this back?
