List view fubar in open dialog

If I use Safari and use the "Open" oder "Save as" dialog in list view the follwing things happen:
1) The name column is ultra-wide, so wide, you have to scroll to see the other columns like date or size
2) You cannot resize the columns
3) You cannot sort by clicking on any column but the name column
Anyone else experiencing this?
I've deleted the com.apple.finder prefs and rebooted. Didn't help much.

Do you have an Arrangement set for the dialogs? It's the button between the View options and the folder name. If something is set in the Arrangement, the view will look and act differently than if Arrangement is set to None.

View Thumbnails in Open Dialog?

When you bring up a "open file" dialog, the window automatically comes up in the list view. Once it's open, I can manually select the thumbnail view, but next time you bring it up it goes back to the list view. I want this dialog to open with the thumbnail view selected. Anyone know of a way to do this?

Ah, all LabVIEW programmers are commonly sooooo lazy... (me too)
Andrey.
Look at it the other way...
LV developers are smart (they chose LV) so they use their inteligence to work smarter not harder.
Ben
Fully agree! But LabVIEW developers are not only smart, they also able to get things done...
Quick and dirty something liike that:
LabVIEW 8.6 / WindowsXP. Not sure about Vista / 7. Too lazy to check it.
Enjoy!

How can I set the OS to show list view when I open a file in an application.

So I know you can chose view options in Finder to always show files in list view there. But how do you set the OS to do the same when opening files in an application.

Okay, cheers, so I guess it's stored in the application prefs. I just installed Snow L last week and it bothered me that everytime I opened a document I had to set my pref again. I wasn't aware that it was storing it for that particular app though cause I'm using so many differnt apps. But you are right, it does store for the individual app. Cheers for the answer!

With newest update, Firefox 8 on Win7, opens Gmail to list view, but cannot open editor to read or write email.

Starting today, after the most recent update, Firefox 8 on Win 7, when I open GMail, I can see the list view, but when I try to open an email to read or reply, I get an error saying GMail cannot load the rich text editor, and I see only the snippet, without the actual content of the email.

Here's hoping that AdBlock can make an update that fixes this, because it's a royal pain having to switch back and forth. On my Mac, everything works fine.
But thanks.

How to open form in another form view when click image in list view?

Hi All,
I have created list view where "Picture" is one of the column. If you click Picture column it will open its item. I achieve using this
resource.
Actually that list form has been customized by InfoPath and create two views.
Now, when i click that Picture column in that list view, it should open in another view instead of default view. How to achieve this?
Here is my code:
// List View – Field open modal dialog Sample
(function () {
// Create object that have the context information about the field that we want to change it output render
var pictureFiledContext = {};
pictureFiledContext.Templates = {};
pictureFiledContext.Templates.Fields = {
//"Picture" is the column name.
"Picture": { "View": pictureFiledTemplate }
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(pictureFiledContext);
function pictureFiledTemplate(ctx) {
var url= ctx.CurrentItem[ctx.CurrentFieldSchema.Name];
var itemID=ctx.CurrentItem.ID;
var itemTitle=ctx.CurrentItem.Title;
return "<img alt='"+url+"' src='"+url+"' complete='complete' onclick=\"openModalDialog('EditForm.aspx?ID="+itemID+"','"+itemTitle+"')\" />";
function openModalDialog(url,title)
var options = {
title: "Item-"+title,
width: 600,
height: 600,
url: url
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
return false;

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you customized the list form, and created two list view.
I had created two list view, named view1 and view2, and customized the list form using the InfoPath.
Then replaced the code onclick=\"openModalDialog('EditForm.aspx?ID="+itemID+"','"+itemTitle+"')\"
with
onclick=\"openModalDialog('view2.aspx?ID="+itemID+"','"+itemTitle+"')\".
Afther that, edit the view1 page, Edit the list web part. Go to Miscellaneous -> JS Link, add the following URL into the JS Link textbox.
~site/Shared Documents/PictureFieldTemplate.js
Now when you click the image, it would open the view2 page.
Thanks & Regards,
Jason

Open dialog views

hi Gurus,
can someone please tell me how to enable/disable views in the open dialog of WAD. i would like to disable/enable Workbooks and history views.
thank you.

Hi,
First of all, are you using WAD 3.5 or 7.0 ?
I am not so sure of WAD 3.5, but in WAD 7.0, you have command for Open Dialog in the Commands List.
Command for Data Provider --> Data Provider commands for Open/Save Function --> Call Open Dialog.
Under this specify your target Data Provider. And giv the required settings, in the following screens.
You can bring this command through a Link item or Puch Button or anything, as per your requirement.
Hope this solves your problem.

List View : Opening folder in folder changes modified date in list view

Since my office upgraded me to 10.5.4, when I flip open a folder in List View, then flip open a sub-folder, the modified date in the original folder changes to now. Opening subsequent folders again changes the modified date of the folder above it. I do not remember this happening in Tiger, and since part of my job involves finding and archiving old files, this is driving me crazy. Can I stop it?
Jeff Work

That's interesting, and probably why the original poster had the same issue, but it does not work that way for me with Leopard 10.5.5.
In list view, the .DS_Store does not get updated when I flip down the folder. The .DS_Store file only gets updated if I open the folder in icon view. That makes sense because the .DS_Store file stores the relative position of the icons in the window.
However, when I go back to list view, even though the .DS_Store file is updated to the current data and time, the Date Modified of the parent folder does not change.
This different may be caused by some setting you are using in Finder that most people do not use, or maybe because of some other Mac OS X feature such as File Vault (which I do not use), or maybe some third party software that modifies Finder functionality. I don't know...

Homefolder always opens in List-view

In Finder I had selected: Open a new window should open the Homefolder.
Configured the Homefolder (with cmd + J) to Symbol-view with big Icons and other Details.
But ever I open it new with command + N it is in List view…
If I open it from Mc HD / User / Homefolder the view is correct.
Could it be, that this happens, because I selected in the Settings you can reach with cmd + J the List-view as default?
If so, how to cancel this default?

Hi Danielmak,
This Terminal command is not specifically related to Column View I'm afraid...
I don't fully understand what it does, but what I can tell you is that the script - for me & a few others - got rid of the common problem where the Finder-window only for the Macintosh HD (i.e. double-clicking on the Mac HD icon) always re-set back to Icon-View after a re-start, despite changing the window to List View and un-checking 'Always Open in Icon View' in View Options (Cmd+J).
I'm not sure I fully understand your problem, but..... You can have separate Finder-windows in different view-types (icon/list/column etc), BUT, the view-type does not automatically change between different types as you drill down into the folders in that particular window.
If you want a particular view-type & window-size to stick for each drive or folder on the desktop, you have to make your changes at the first level, then close the window... When you double-click again on that same drive, the view-type (don't forget to un-check the 'Always open in icon view' in View Options) & window position should be the same. If you drill down into the folders in that hard drive, & THEN make changes to view-type & window size, they will not stick (i.e. the next time you double-click on the HD icon, it will re-open in the originally-set position & view-type.)
Hope that helps. Apologies if I've misunderstood the question.
All the best,
Jason

Finder - Browse in List View, Finder - Browse in List View

In Lion there are now a couple of options are available when you right-click on a Finder window and click on Show View Options:
Always open in list view
Browse in list view
Whereas in Snow Leopard there is only one option:
Always open in list view
So my question is, what's the difference between these two new options in Lion? What exactly does "Browse in list view" mean?

The help file is a bit confusing since it says :
To set the current window to always open in list view, select “Always open in list view.” If the window has subfolders, you can also set them to open in list view.
That part where it says that if the window has subfolders, you can also set them to open in List view. That is what Browse means. So, if you have that checked, when you double-click on a folder in that window, it will open the subfolder in the same view unless that folder has an "always open in ____ View" setting.

Customise columns in Open/Save dialog when in List View

When opening or saving a file from an application while in list view, there is no "Date Modified" column that you could click to sort by. It seems to be gone and there is no way to configure the columns in this dialog. How to add or delete columns in the list view of open/save dialog?
I seem to be able to change columns in Finder, but not in Open/Save file dialog.

No. Column view will only sort by name. If you wanted to put a space before each folder name, then they will sort to the top. Sorting by Kind will put folders above files, but it will also put anything else except files at the top. If there are only folders, however, that would put them first in the sort list.

Thumbnail view in open dialog

I am not sure if this is even possible, but it's worth a question...
Is there a way in a flex/air to open the "file open dialog" in thumbnail view? (it opens automatically in list view)
I have an application that needs to open images and it would look much better if it could open in thumbnail view so that the user can see what (s)he is selecting.

Did you ever figure this out? I too need to do this.

Download TinkerTool - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate. Use the General page and check the option at the top to display invisible files. Click the button to relaunch the Finder. In the window you want locate the .DS_Store file and drag it to the Trash. Empty the Trash. Uncheck the invisibles option box in TinkerTool then the Relaunch Finder button. Quit TinkerTool. Locate /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist file and drag it to the Trash. Don't empty the Trash.
Now in the desired Finder window reset all your default view options by clicking in the Finder window then pressing COMMAND-J to option the View Options dialog. Do not close this window. Now try restarting. Your window should open on restart automatically in the view you desire. Should you close that window anytime reopen it by clicking on the Finder icon in the Dock, not by double-clicking on the disk icon on your Desktop.

Unable to click on file in list view to open from fcp. Works from icon view, however.

I have intermittant issues importing files and folders into Final Cut Pro. When the window to select the file or folder I want pops up, I often don't have the ability to select an item when the window is in list view, but when I switch to icon view, the open button loses its greyed out appearance and I'm able to select a file or folder.
I'm running FCP 7.0.3 and OS 10.5.8. At first thinking this could be an OS issue, I tried attaching a file to an email within Chrome and didn't have a problem selecting and opening files from a list window.
I trashed my FCP preferences and user data info, hoping this would resolve the issue, but it hasn't. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Thanks, Luis. I had selected FCP 7 in the drop down. Not sure how it got moved to X. And don't see an edit option on my original post.

How to put clips in order by number in List View? Opened Premier and they were reversed!

I imported a lot of clips in numeric order from lowest to highest. Today when I opened Premier the order was reversed in the list view from Highest to lowest number. I dont know why. I did not change anything. It did this to all my other bins also!!
When I look at the clips in icon view they are in proper order!!!
So now when I try to put on timeline it places my last clip first. Is there an easy way to reverse the order in List View to the way I originally imported them? I don't want to have to re import all the clips.
Thanks !!

They are in order in windows. For some reason they are backwards when I opened Premier. They were in order originally.
I saw this:
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/customizing-project-panel.html#id_29219
But I still cant figure out how to sort. Am I missing something?
"To sort items in List view, click the column heading by which you want to sort the items. If bins are expanded, items sort from the top level and down the Project panel hierarchy. To reverse the sort order, click the column heading again."
Not sure what they mean? Is the column heading they are talking about in Premier? Do they mean the bins? This should be easy, But I am not finding it!

Finder folders stay open in list view

I am having a problem with the Finder. When looking at folders in list view, certain folders stay open every time I look at a certain directory. If I close the folders and re-open the surrounding folder, the triangles are back down again! These are folders I had open a week ago and I don't need them open any more. It is very frustrating to open a folder, and have five open folders within it that I don't need open! I have to close them several times a day!
How do I make it so that my Finder rembers that those should be closed? I am not sharing files or folders with any other computer or user.
I had this problem on my laptop and I thought that maybe my external HD had some indexing issues. But now it is happening on my brand new imac with folders in the hard drive.

Maybe some of the invisible .DS_Store files in your folders are corrupt.
Launch your Terminal and paste the blue code below into it.
Press Return and type in your password - press Return again and wait for the word 'done.' to appear.
Then quit the Terminal.
sudo find / -name \.DS_Store -exec rm -fP {} \;;echo done.
Next, relaunch the Finder - press Command Option - click and hold down the Finder in your Dock and select Relaunch.
Good luck,
Tom
