Lion UI Finder Functions?

I typically manage image files in quantity and can't replicate useful functionality from Snow Leopard. Perhaps newer improved procdedures have eluded me?
1 - Icon sizing/scaling slider. As I recall in Snow Leopard there was a slider in finder windows that enabled instant enlarging of icons/image thumbnails (in icon view) Now I have to open "view options" to perfor this frequent function. Viewing enlarged thumbnails in the finder provided a very efficient way of locating/selecting images visually. It would also be helpful to view all icons/thumbnails as they are scaled (reduce white space between icons). I.e.: the convenient scale slider would enlarge icons/thumbnails, but all visible items would remain in view. (currently, as icons are enlarged, they move out of view) Or perhaps a "view all" toggle could be incorporated into the slider.
2 - When multiple files were selected in Snow Leopard, the number (count) of selected files was displayed. So if I wished to compare the count of files in 2 separate finder windows, command-A would give me an instant count. I can no longer find this function. Selecting a folder and then getting info on that folder is cumbersome.
3 - I have always hoped for a boolen function for folders: It would be VERY helpful to have a comparison (boolean) function showing which filenames were shared by 2 folders -or conversly, which filenames were NOT shared. (I.e.: I might have Folder A with 100 files, and Folder B with 90 copies of those files that have been processed. I would like quickly determine which files from Folder A are NOT shared by Folder B)
Perhaps I have simply missed the updated implementation of 1&2. And hopefully there is a procedure for 3 that I have not discovered.
Thanks

Probably not what you want,  but there's "diff" in Terminal:

Probably there exists some third party GUI-based functionality along these lines.

  • 'Find' function does not appear to work in TextEdit on .txt documents

    Most of the time the 'Find' function on the TextEdit application does not appear to work on .txt documents.  I have verified this by using Find on words that I know are in a document, and it cannot find them.  I've tried different options on the 'Find' function without success.  This appears to have started with version 10.6.8.  Has anyone else had this problem since upgrading to 10.6.8?

    Thanks -- but I swear it worked fine prior to either the 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 updates and now it doesn't.  I'll just keep experimenting and playing around with it and see if I can get it to work.  Maybe the new Lion O.S. coming out will fix it, although I'm not going to rush -- I made the mistake of putting Snow Leopard on right after it came out and had problems with some programs not working properly anymore (like Pro Tools, for example).  Always a good idea to hold off until most of the bugs get fixed. 

  • How to find function code for buttons on toolbar in oops alv

    Hi experts,
    I want to remove some buttons from toolbar in oops alv, i know the procedure like get function code and pass the value in a table and pass that table to IT_TOOLBAR_EXCLUDING of
    method set_table_for_first_display but I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO FIND FUNCTION CODE FOR BUTTONS ON TOOLBAR IN OOPS ALV

    Hi Prakash,
    -->First you have to set the pf status in your alv program by,
    {FORM pf_status USING rt_extab TYPE slis_t_extab.
      SET PF-STATUS 'FIRST'.
    ENDFORM.                    "PF_STATUS}
    -->Pass this Subroutine name in the Function module, Reuse_alv_grid_display's parameters i.e,
          i_callback_pf_status_set          = 'PF_STATUS'}
    *-->Then doble click on that pf status,
    From the menu bar, select Extras->Adjust Template->List Viewer,
    This will give you the existing statndard gui status of the program*
    ->Then catch that function codes in the User command Parameter of the Function module Reuse.. i.e,
          i_callback_user_command           = 'COMM'
    And make a subroutine of the name 'COMM'i.e,
    FORM comm USING ucomm LIKE sy-ucomm selfield TYPE slis_selfield.
      DATA: okcode TYPE sy-ucomm.
      okcode = ucomm.
      CASE okcode.

  • After upgrading to Lion, the Finder will increase the virtual memory while using external HD

    after upgrading to Lion, the Finder will increase the "virtual memory size" while using external HD. I check it using Activity Monitor and found that "Finder" wll increase the "Virtual Memory Size" and "Private Memory Size". and then after a while. the system told me my HD is full and hanging there.
    My External HD is 1TB. and I have installed new version Paragon NTFS for Mac V.9.01. I am not sure it is related or not.
    but I attached my external HD. the "Finder" will start to increase the "Virtual Memory Size".
    please help out this case and solve this issue.
    thank you !!!

    The one has nothing to do with the other. Virtual memory size and Private memory size are used by developers to analyze their software. it has nothing to do with anything related to the user.

    after upgrading to mountain lion, i find that my mail app does not have a "VIP" Tab. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue and what it is about?

    First, select sender(s) as VIPs. Then the VIP category will appear.
    To select a sender as a VIP, open an email from that sender, then hover over their name and a star icon will appear to the left. Click the star, and that sender will be set as a VIP (and the category will appear in the pane on the left).

    ''Problem:'' For whatever reason, NoScript is stopping Runescape Community Toolbar from working properly which freezes your first Firefox window.
    ''Fix:'' Uninstall the toolbar. Disable NoScript. Install the toolbar. Add your RS account to it and make sure it works, then Enable NoScript again.
    EDIT: Posted a fix earlier that was wrong. Corrected to the right one, sorry ^_^ Answer was on Runescape Forums.

  • How do I export a .dwg file so the Search/Find function can be used on it?

    I have some .dwg files that my co-worker exported to PDF. It is crucial for me to have the ability to use the search or "Find" function in Reader. There are 11 different .dwg files exported into an 11 page PDF, but some of the were exported with different properties. I can search on 4 of them, but the other 7 are unsearchable. I believe my co-worker user Autodesk TrueView to export the .dwg files to PDF. So my question is what program I should use (I believe that TrueView is capable of what I am trying to do, but I'm not sure) and how should I set up the the settings before I export it to PDF. Thanks.

    You need to contact Autodesk, almost no one here is likely to be familiar with what Autodesk can or cannot do.

  • Need help in finding the root cause the error 'Could not find function:'

    Hi fokls,
    In my workflow notification , when I click on the notification to process it , it says ' 'Could not find function:' error.
    I found the this message is coming out from the Fnd_new_messages table from the message_name 'FND_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND'.
    Here are my questions ...
    1. FND_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND - Is it a oracle Seeded message ?
    2. If so the error I am getting is a oracle product Bug ?
    And In between , I am getting this error for few transaction only. ( out of 100 , i am getting this error at the rate of 5 per 100 ... or less)
    3 .If its a oracle product bug then , how is 95 out of 100 transaction are succssfully wokring ?
    4. If is a custom bug , how it os not though for some other 95 transaction ?
    5. Can I expect it as Data issue ? If so what kind of data issue.
    Folks , any kind of info will be really , realy helpful for me ... please let me know your inputs for me.
    Thansk to all in advance
    Raghu

    In the error message 'Could not find function:' after colon what function name it is giving.
    'FND_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND' is a seeded message only.
    As you are saying the error was throwing only for 5% or less notifications, is the error throwing for same kind of notifications? I mean the item type and message are same for these erroneous notifications?
    It can be that some function in particular type of workflow is error-ed out does not exists, when responding to those kind of notifications it might be throwing error.
    Please check that.

  • Find function no longer finds files

    Does anybody know why might my Find function in Finder no longer finds files and how to fix it? It finds only a limited number of files and they have nothing to do with the search term. I have selected "Computer" as the searchable entity.

    Instead of using the Find function,I use the free Find Any File app http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30079/find-any-file Try it.

  • 'Find' function doesn't work on some HP documents

    For some pdf doc's I downloaded from HP, if I copy some characters from the text and then paste them into the Find box, the characters show up as hieroglyphs (mostly squares) in the Find box. And then actually executing the Find using those characters doesn't work, because it can't find the very word that I copied them from! On top of that, if I manually type a word into the Find box (showing normal letters), it won't find it even though I can see it within the text on the page showing on the screen. Very strange! In documents other than these old HP documents, the Find function works fine.
    I looked into the document properties (menu: File >> Properties >> Fonts) and see that there are 9 fonts that have names I have never heard of before, and those fonts say "(Embedded Subset)" after the font name and "Encoding: Custom" in the font descriptions. There were a few normal fonts listed before these for that document as well.
    Anyone have any idea what is going on?

    It's hard to say without seeing the actual, source content, but given what you are describing, I would venture a guess that the source content is of too poor a quality to OCR reliably and accurately.  To test this theory, after running OCR, identify a term that you can confirm is present, but that the search feature cannot identify.  Then, copy and paste that term into Word or Notepad.  What I expect you will note is that a "0" (zero) has been identified as an "8," and other things of that nature.  OCR processing is garbage in, garbage out, so the source always has to be considered.  Repeat this process across the document to see if experience similar results. 
    You don't describe how exactly you are transferring the microfilm "images" to PDF, so it's difficult to say if that process is at issue or could be improved.  I suspect that's contributing to the problem, though.
    Finally, with regard to the degraded image quality, you want to make sure you are selecting "Searchable Image (Exact)" from the OCR dialogue.  ClearScan or any type of downsampling will likely cause or contribute to the type of issue you are describing.  In a situation with low-quality source material, you would not want to use these other options.
    Hope that helps!

  • HP Deskjet 9600 Won't Print with 10.4.11 & Find function doesn't work.

    Hi, there seems to be some link between the find function not working and HP printers not working in Tiger. I read this forum - http://209.85.215.104/search?q=cache:-v3OvLGNYBwJ:forums.cnet.com/5208-6126_102- 0.html%3FforumID%3D10%26threadID%3D271686%26messageID%3D2667189find+function+not+working+intiger&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=6&gl=us - and it seems like others have had this problem. Is there any other solution other than Archiving and Reinstalling system software? I don't have enough HD space to do that...?...I only have 1.74G. I've heard you need at least 10G available. Is that true? Thanks.

    It is not obvious the problems are related. I read the thread and one user had both issues but the others didn't seem to.
    Does Spotlight work?
    What exactly happens when you try to print?
    Have you tried repairing permissions yet? (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility - highlight your HD on the left and choose the First Aid tab and the repair permissions option.)
    If that doesn't work, see if the problem occurs in another account. If you are the only user, create another user in the Accounts pane of System Preferences.
    Do you have HP software installed or are you just using the drivers which come with OS X?

  • The Firefox find function seems to have become CAPS or non-caps specific, so that typing a word in non-caps will not find matching words with one or more capital letter.

    The find function seems to have changed in Firefox. Before, when doing a (CTRL + F) find, the search was not CAPS-specific or non-caps-specific. In other words, if I typed in "firefox" (no caps), it would find the words "firefox", Firefox", or "FIREFOX", regardless of capitalization. Now, however, the find function will only match the exact same capitalization. This totally undermines the usefulness of the function, and is a major hassle. Please fix it.
