Ok easy question re finder scrolling and snap

ok how do I get the finder to stop snapping back to the selected item when scrolling down the list view, cause it's annoying me to death.

Same here! I do not see a setting anywhere to correct this. This is ever since upgrading to SL (this was a brand new Mac Pro with Leopard, out of the box I immediately updated the OS and then did the SL upgrade, no migration or old bs)
In list view, if you have an item selected and you scroll out of view of it and stop, the view will snap back to the highlighted item. Very annoying!
Also, certain directories that were previously viewed in coverflow reopen in finder with most of the window being taken up by the coverflow view, not to what you may have sized it to before.
I tried trashing the Finder plist file and that did not help anything.
thanks

  • Question: search/find function and markers?

    FCPv1 through 7 user, now being forced to decide between Avid and Premiere, so I have tons of questions, but I will start with this:
    I need to search through my marker comments, but I notice the find function doesn't work while in the marker tab, nor does it give options to search through marker comments while in the project tab. Is this possible?
    It was also be preferable that it brings up every instance of the keyword, and not just the next instance, I am not seeing that as an option either...
    I am hoping I am just missing something and you guys can help clear it up for me.
    Here is my workflow incase it will help answer the question:
    I have a video clip, and I have to transcribe every single line of dialogue in the clip.
    I need to be able to search these dialogue lines.
    Boris soundbite does not work for this, as I need to see what is said, not find where certain things are said.
    Using subclips was my original Final Cut Pro work flow, but premiere handles subclips differently, and match framing only matches back to subclips, and not source material like I need it to. Unless of course there's a setting that makes subclips match frame to source material that I am missing, I dug around and looked for one but didn't see anything.
    Thanks.

    Markers in Premiere Pro CS Next will have this functionality. I just checked it out. Sorry that this function was not included in Premiere Pro CS6.

  • How to find first and last day of previous month?.

    Based on current month, I want to find start and end day of
    previous month.
    For example,
    For august, Start date is July 1st and End date July 31st.
    How can i get first of previous month as start date and last
    day of the previous month as end date?.
    Same way,
    i want to find start date of current month and end date of
    next month.
    Example:
    For august,
    i want to get start date, august 1st and end date : september
    30.
    How can i do this from current date or now().
    I am looking for best and easy way to find start and end
    dates..
    Thanks

    <cfset today = now()>
    <cfset firstOfThisMonth = createDate(year(today),
    month(today), 1)>
    <cfset lastOfNextMonth = dateAdd("d", -1, dateAdd("m", 2,
    firstOfThisMonth))>
    <cfoutput>
    today = #today#<br>
    firstOfThisMonth = #firstOfThisMonth#<br>
    lastOfNextMonth = #lastOfNextMonth#<br>
    </cfoutput>
    Edit - To find the start and end day of previous month, get
    the first of THIS month. Use Subtract 1 month ("m") to get the
    start date. Subtract 1 day ("d") to get the end date.

    Janieburmy,
    You can always deauthorize all your machines from your store account page — just log in and view your account settings and there's a button to deauth all your machines. Which just means for the other machines, it will ask you for your store ID / password the next time you play a purchased song.
    So, let's try the filter experiment.
    On the start menu, click on "run". in the space it provides enter "regedit" without the quotes. This will open the registry editor.
    Find the heading HKEYLOCALMACHINE. Click on it.
    Find the heading SYSTEM inside it. Click on it.
    Find the heading CurrentControlSet. Click
    Find the heading Control. Click
    Find the heading Class. Click
    Find the heading that begins {4D36E965- Click
    Go up to the Registry menu and select "Export Registry File... command. Make sure the "Selected Branch" radio button is checked and save that off somewhere that you can find it.
    Delete the key named LowerFilter.
    Select the key named UpperFilter, right click, select "modify". Then edit the text in the dialog to just say "GEARAspiWDM" followed by hitting the return key, the return after the word is important.
    Then reboot, and see what iTunes does.
    To get the system back to its previous state. Run Regedit again and use the Registry menu -> Import Registry File... command and select the file that you saved off in the first section.
    I'm particularly interested in getting rid of the "AFS2K" driver in the chain — that's a old driver from a company that hasn't existed in years.
    To answer your last question, why am I doing this?... I'm paying off a karmic debt. And someday we'll start that Tequila for Toonz paypal account and then I'll be set.

  • Easy ways to find/search  different fields and tables relations?

    Dear Friend ,
    I am useing SE11 and SE16 to different table and field name relation . Is it any easy was to find table different table and field name relation .
    Please reply urgently........
    Max award for sol

    Hi,
    I would wonder if you could use SE11 and SE16 for getting information on table relations.
    You can use e.g. SQVI to create queries and you can set the link between tables (define the relation of them).
    As for your question:
    1 Please check this link:
    http://www.erpgenie.com/abap/tables.htm
    2.
    You can use SE16 + DD30L to search for specific field  / table.

  • Set Finder Layout and Size - Silly Question

    Hi Guys and Happy Late Valentine's Day!
    I have a really easy question regarding the size of the finder window. Every time I open a new window in the Finder, it is too small for my liking, so I have to resize it. Do you know how I can set a size for the window so that every time I open Finder, it is the size of my liking?
    ~Christoph

    You are right, that is exactly what happens. Unfortunately, this is how Leopard works. I personally liked the pre-leopard versions of Finder windowing. Sizes, position and views stuck. I have actually never really used the Finder icon for opening a new window. I'm a big fan of keyboard commands. Alt-Tab to switch between applications, in Finder: Command-N for new window, Command-Shift-A for the Applications window, Command-Shift-H for your home folder etc. With keyboard shortcuts, the windowing behavior will work like you want it to.
    There is no 'fix' for this, since this is how Finder is supposed to work. There might be a setting somewhere deep in the Finder application itself to change the default size. I don't know where it would be though.
    Sorry, I can't help any further. Maybe someone else will post on my idea in the last paragraph.

  • I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I kno...

    I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I know almost nothing about this stuff so go easy on me . All I need to do is find out if my DHCP is enabled. I'm having problems with my Xbox 360 and one of the possible problems is this DHCP thing. However I have no idea how to find the settings for my router on my computer. If it helps I have a Wirless model BEFW11S4. Thanks in advance for any help.

    You need to access your router to check if the DHCP is on.  To access the router open your browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 into the address field and hit enter.  That should open the routers log on screen and by default the user is left blank (some routers it is admin) and the password is abmin.  If you changed your routers password as you should for security reasons then use that password.  That will bring you to your routers user interface and on the main set up page should be your DHCP.

  • Easy question I'm sure. imac hard full (500gb) mostly from iphoto. no capacity left. what are my options? I've thought of an external drive of 1tb and then a 2nd external drive of 3tb to back up both???? please help.

    easy question I'm sure. imac hard full (500gb) mostly from iphoto. no capacity left. what are my options? I've thought of an external drive of 1tb and then a 2nd external drive of 3tb to back up both???? please help.

    Those are the options - more space is more space.
    Moving the iPhoto Library is simple:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Regards

  • Gray screen when turning on iBook G4 with tiny file folder in center of screen blinking the finder icon and a question mark.  Have tried several things.  Any help please??

    Gray screen when turning on iBook G4 with tiny file folder in center of screen blinking finder icon and question mark.  I cannot figure this out.  Tried everything I know.  Can someone help please???

    Hello,
    Ideally you need to boot from the disk as you have no other media advisable. (e.g your hard drive)
    Without some form of system disk or restore you wont be able to diagnose the problem with your hard drive.
    By using a Mac OS X system disk you can load up the Disk Utilities and repair the hard drive if shown it's available. If it's not available you would need to replace the hard drive and reinstall Mac OS. Without any disk to support you, you are going to struggle.
    You can obtain replacement disk, both retail copies or system disk on the Internet.
    If you know what version of Mac OS X you had install (I'm guessing that it would have been 10.3, but would recommend 10.4) A retail disk is normally black with a colored 'X' on it, while system disk are always.
    Always try and obtain a copy of the system restore disks (Gray) for your iBook
    Ebay is another outlet that has genuine system disk for sell, but like any auction site, it's as and when someone is selling them.
    The only other thing you could do is take it to a Apple repair agent who could check the hard drive on your behalf. That way you can get confirmation if the problem is the drive or some other fault. They may even help restore the OS for you.
    I can't think of anything else to try without some form of disk to help you.
    There maybe just one other small thing you could try.
    When booting up, firmly rest your palm of your hand on the iBook next to the tracker pad on the left side.
    If it works then it's another fault that I'm aware of.

  • Trackpad Scrolling and 'Find' does not work

    I'm loving it so far on my Work IBM T43 / Windows XP. I always wished for this to come out and now here it is. I can't say though that it isn't without any issues such as the ones mentioned above [Trackpad Scrolling and 'Find' does not work]. I'm still playing around with but so far so good. Anyone else coming up with these issues?
    Specifically I have to manually select 'Find' from the drop down File Menu under Edit and then once it has been activated, I can use 'Cntl + F' but then once I click on Done, nothing happens. I once again have to use it from the drop down. It's not a major thing but definitely a peave.

    I'm on an IBM T60 on XP Professional and trackpad scrolling doesn't work
    I hope this problem will be solve soon.

  • Finder logo and question mark

    So I read a discussion on here where somebody described a problem where their mac began start-up but froze on a gray screen and a picture of a folder that flashed between the finder icon and a question mark. Apparently this screen is supposed to go away in several minutes, but I have this same problem and my screen stays locked on that icon and doesn't start up. I've left it running for at least half an hour, but the screen stays on the icon. Is there any way to get around this screen so my computer starts up normally?

    If you have facing pages, you have to set up the document with facing pages that is what is it for. If you have a spreadwide design as above, keep the spreads together. There is not even one reason not to do so.
    Only for wire-O-bindings might a different workflow useful, but also with facing pages documents and only when the left page and the right page have not a spread wide design:
    //// I did one mistake, I created a doument with a right binding, but it would work the same way with left binding.)
    1. Create a document with Facing Pages.
    2. Select the Spread in the Page Panel (Window > Page Panel) and in the panel’s flyout menu deselect "Allow Selected Spread to Shuffle". The spread’s page number will appear in brackets.
    3. Select a single page of the spread and drag it to the side until a vertical bar appears.
    4. Now you have the result.
    Left and right pages have their own spread and will have a bleed around each page without taking information from the other page.

  • I have a lot of duplicate songs on my iPhone 4--Is there an easy way to find and delete duplicates?

    Is there an easy way to find and delete duplicate songs on an IPhone 4?

    A belated hello.  On the topic of duplicate songs / tracks showing up in, say, your iPhone Music app but not in your iTunes Library, with these versions installed ....
    iTunes 10.5
    iPhone 4 running on iOS 5
    .... I discovered this too.  This is what I did:
    1. purchased full album from the iTunes Store
    (once download completed, album magically showed up in iPhone Music app, as expected, without having to sync)
    2. I then went to my iTunes Music view and edited the album year (Multiple Item Information)
    3. Synced
    4. All album tracks showed up in duplicate in iPhone Music app (but not in iTunes view)
    Solution:
    1. in iTunes, I changed back the album year to the one iTunes Store originally downloaded
    2. Re-synced
    3. Now all album tracks show up but no longer in duplicate in iPhone Music app
    Lesson learned: When purchasing music from iTunes Store, leave metadata untouched.
