Opening Multiple Folders (Sizes and Locations)

In selecting multiple folders and opening them all, is there a setting available or something a person manually does to when you open the folders they all open with the same size window and/or pattern? When I open multiple folders up they open up in random sizes and locations on my desktop.

There's no built in way of doing what you want. You might give Default Folder X a try. I've not used it so don't know if it will do what you want. You may have to write an Applescript to do what you want.

Remember size and location when opening saved document (CS5)

Greetings,
It would be nice to have a preference to remember screen rendered document size and location when saved, then the document opens at the last used size and location; I now reposition and resize every time I open my documents, which is often.
Perhaps this feature has not been forgotten or omitted, maybe I just haven't found it yet?

"I now reposition and resize every time I open my documents, which is often."
Yeah, you said it... Which means that 100 times a day I curse Adobe for not including such a basic, fundamental capability.
It's hard to believe that they do any testing by real users at all... How could they have missed this? And why haven't they immediately fixed it in a point update?

Finder window size and location not remembered

I have OS X 10.10 installed.
When I press Cmd/shift/H to open a finder window showing my home folder I get the default location and size for the window. I resize and relocated the window and close it. When I press that key combination again, the window is now showing the new size and location I previous set. Unfortunately, when I restart the computer, this modification is lost and when I press that key combination the window opens with the default size and location.
I have used the key combination of Cmd/Shift/A to open a finder window showing Applications and Cmd/Shift/U to open a finder window showing the Utilities folder. I have been successful in resizing and relocating these windows, and having the system remember my modifications after a restart. It appears to only be the Cmd/Shift/H combination that is faulty.
Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Paddster7,
You could try trashing the hidden file inside the folder that stores some of its positioning and size settings.
To show your hidden files.
Launch ( Terminal ) -> Paste in the following ( defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true ; killall Finder ) -> Press Return.
Open the ( Offending Folder ) -> Delete ( .DS_Store ) -> Restart -> Move folder how you want to to stay -> Restart -> Did it stay?
To reverse your hidden files back to hidden.
Launch ( Terminal ) -> Paste in the following ( defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean false ; killall Finder ) -> Press Return.

What Preferences Control Window Size and Location?

I have a number of windows that over time have taken on weird sizes and locations. For example, a print window habitually shows up with the print button underneath the dock, forcing me to move the window to click on the options.
Is there a preference I can trash--or anything else I can do--to return the sizes and locations of windows to something resembling normal?

That's done by each individual application.
Many will remember where the window last was, and re-open it in the same place & size.
Find the preference file for the app in question (probably in <your home folder>/Library/Preferences folder), quit the app, rename the file (append "old") to the end, and start the app again.
The window should open in a default location; move/and or resize it, close the app and open it again. If that fixes the problem, trash the "old" file and re-enter any other preferences.
If it doesn't fix it, you've probably got the wrong file. Close the app. If there's a new version of the file you renamed, delete it. Remove the "old" from the previous one.

Camera Raw cache size and location

I've been using ACR for about 3 years now, and today it occurred to me that I'm not that sure I know what the cache is actually used for. I mean, I know what a cache is, but what is ACR caching, and why?
I use Bridge for most of my photo work, displaying high quality thumbnails and previews, often full-screen ("monitor-sized previews" by default). Bridge has its own cache, which I understand contains jpegs of thumbnails, previews, and 100% views. Does ACR's cache have any bearing on Bridge's behaviour and performance, especially with thousands of raw images?
What sort of size and location of ACR cache should I be using - what factors do I need to consider?

Hi,
I'm still not sure what size of cache I should use, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of bigger or smaller ACR caches.
Maybe Eric can tell something indeep about the impact of a large cache. I'm not sure about that myself, but don't believe a larger cache is a real disadvantage, as long the disk on which it reside is maintained: defrag often). Since Bridge and ACR work hand in hand here, it might depend to your workflow and to your hardware. Sorry, I can't give a clear answer here.
As said I would put it just large enough for a certain number of RAW or some weeks work. Means, when there is a chance I'ld touch a certain RAW in six weeks again, than six weeks * x images per day I shoot.
Not sure if you are a Pro. I'm not and usually have not much new images every month. I always was fine with the default settings.
I don't work with Bridge and open one RAW after another in ACR, or maybe 20+ in a row when doing panorama ;-)
But Bridge has to do a lot of work on the fly when it generates the previews for all new RAW in a folder, like: "read the image from HDD", "process it by ACR, "write Bridge previews and metadata to HDD", "write to ACR cache " - not necessarily in this order.
And it seems it does this and some additional steps always (not only when first time reading RAW), because it f.e. needs to check if there are already processing information in ACR database or XMP file for a RAW or if they have been created in "meantime". Means ACR settings could have be changed after Bridge did a first time generation of the cache data, maybe because the RAW was openene directly via PS or by another app.
this process is fairly processor-dependent, especially now that ACR uses more sophisticated processing in version 6, and, depending on ACR defaults, this can be significantly slower than in previous versions.
And Bridges eats huge amount of memory as well - seems it holds a lot of information in memory before flushing it to disk.
After reading this post of yours I made a test with my 12k RAW the other day. I tried to let Bridge create previews for all of them in one step, but it ended up complaining that there is not enough memory after ~ half an hour.
Bridge appears to generate previews unnecessarily sometimes, because every image is already cached.
See above. Bridge/ACR checks for updated processing information in XMP or ACR database and metadata updates. If it find some it might need to rebuild its cached image.
Why would I need to reset the cache with a new monitor profile? Surely this is not applied to cache JPEGs?
You are right, sorry I mixed things up here :-( I meant ACR camera profiles. Aside that I changed monitor profile a lot over the last weeks doing some tests, and after that Bridge often refused to start until the cache was purged…
Your suggestion of a larger cluster size is very interesting, and I may try this when I have some spare time.
All my disks meant for storing large files (images, music, scratch, temp-file) are formated with a larger cluster size. It speeds things up a bit.
Supposedly Lightroom's catalogue system is superior, but I am yet to be convinced that putting all my XMP data in one basket is a good idea.
Of course LR shares ACR's cache. I don't know much about LR, but I believe XMP are not only kept in one basket here, right? They are written to the images and in case of RAW to XMP files. Otherwise there wouldn't be an interoperability between LR and Bridge. Similar to Bridge LR stores previews in it own "cache" which is as well a folder and file based "database". Check "preferences".
But as said I use another DAM, in which’s database all data needed for searching is kept, but I also write all metadata (IPTC,XMP) to the images, even for RAW files. By this I don't need a large ACR cache and also don't have XMP files around, which I hate. When saying database, I mean a real database, not a collection of files which are kept on disk. ;-)
Aside other advantages, I can take my database with me on vacations and can work on my images like I do at home. I have all my keywords and categories with me in one file and when back, I just copy the database to my desktop.

Set size and location of a component

Hello,
Does anyone familiar with this org.netbeans.lib.awtexttra.AbsoluteConstraints(). I want to set the size and location of the component, and I know this org netbeans can provide this function.
getContentPane().add(chkTausta, new org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteConstraints(10, 120, -1, -1));
chkRakkennus.setSelected(true);
chkRakkennus.setText("Rakennukset");
then it comes an error that org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteConstraints()cannot be resolved. Does anyone know what�s the reason. Do I have to download other version of Java. I have Jre1.6.0?
Does anybody knows is there another way to set size of component. For example, if I use borderlayout, and put a button to the west, then how can I set the location and size of the button?
Thanks a lot for you help.
Clare

org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteConstraints isn't part of the JDK. I suggest you don't use that at all. Let a LayoutManager do the resizing.
Have a look at the [Layout tutorial|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/index.html] especially gridBagLayout

Default size and location, dialog boxes

how can I set default size and location of dialog boxes? I have tried several things to no avail,
thanks in advance

1. You could create your own subclass of Dialog/JDialog with your defaults set automatically
2. You could create a DialogFactory that creates Dialogs (pretty much the same as 1)

I don't think you guys are hearing my question. I can see how to restore a single file or folder.
I want to restore ALL the changed or deleted files and folders since my last backup (but not the entire disk, that would be unnecessary)
Were all (or most) of the items in, say, your Documents folder, or your Music folder? If so, you can restore the whole folder via TM. That will put all sub-folders and files back exactly the way they were at the time of the backup. You just have to be careful to pick the right backup (date & time).
Or, if they were scattered through your Home Folder, you can restore that entire folder in the same way.
If you've made changes subsequent to that backup, however, they will be lost in the process. What you can do in that case is, restore to a different location, then compare the two folders, and drag & drop what you want. (To restore to a different location, select the folder in TM, then click the "gear" icon in the TM Finder window, and select +Restore <item selected> to ...+ and you'll be prompted for a restore location.)

SRM7 grouping items in RFx despite of multiple delivery date and locations

Hi Gurus,
I need to know for a proposal of SRM 7 implementation, WITHOUT the newest E-sourcing component, how to solve the following scenario:
We are gonna use the SRM7 classic scenario where PO is created in ERP and Shopping cart is created in SRM.
In Plan-Driven Scenario for Third Party Sales Order, TPO will be created in ERP, Shopping carts, RFx and contract in SRM, PO will be triggered in SRM and created in ERP.
1.       We have 8 main customers (Sold-To Party), 50 Items, 40 Ship-To (locations) 4 delivery dates for each item to each location.
2.       Under Each Sold-To Party, there are several Ship-To party (Locations)
3.       For each location, there could be multiple delivery dates.
4.       In the Third Party Sales order (TPO), each material could be repeated several times because of the multiple delivery dates and multiple locations;
5.       After saving TPO, the system automatically generates Purchase Requisition (PR) in background.
6.       For each delivery date in TPO, the system creates a separate line in PR. These lines will be converted into line items in shopping carts in SRM.
7.        Total # of lines in PR would be:
a.       8 (main customer) X 50 (items) X 40 (locations) X 4 (delivery dates) = 64000 lines in PRs è same number of lines will be created in SRM in Shopping carts (SC)
8.       In sourcing, we have the option to convert these SCu2019s into RFx. This means we will send 64000 lines for the vendors to give their quotes while we actually have only 50 items.
My questions:
1.       In standard SRM, is there a way to create RFx for the total quantities for item? i.e. can the system read all SCu2019s and sum all the qty for each item, regardless, of the locations, customers, delivery dates and create one line item in the RFx. i.e RFx should be send for 50 items only?   If so, which functionality or work-around should I proposed to meet the req.?
Regards
Thanks
Livio

Hi Ramki,
According what you say I assume that this specific requirements in SRM7, without E- sourcing , CANNOT be executed in a standard way, it makes sense to me. Can you firmly confirm it?
My real worry is that, eventually, in this last version of SRM7 could be already covered, somehowu2026 that why my post.
Can you give me some more details when defining the u201CAggregator txnu201D please (u mean txn or txt? And why)?
I mean, If I understand good, must be a development which finally summarize the quantities for each material and create the SC/PR and related RFx.
The PO, created from the RFx, will collect all the delivery date and location from a custom table. The custom table is a pointer between TPO, delivery date, location and RFx. Am I correct?
Thanks
Livio

Defining non-Component objects with size and location using Swing

I am attempting to write a program which will be able to manipulate (display, move, resize) objects in a Swing window which are not necessarily components. These "Window"s are defined by a Window interface which defines a Window as any object which has a size and a location (effectively a rectangular area). This would ideally allow me to perform operations such as drawing an arbitrary picture on a Jpanel, for example, wrap that drawing in a rectangular area, and then be able to resize it/move it about as a separate panel. In order to do this I believe I would have to override the paint() method, although I'm not completely sure. If anyone has any suggestions of a proper way to override the method or know a proper way to attack this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Adrian

It's hard to say since it's not quite clear what you're doing but:
1) if these objects are not necessarily components, that's fine, but you're not trying to add them to the basic GUI framework, are you? If you want to do something like this, then probably the best thing is to have a particular component that knows how to handle these objects, and then have a clean separation between components and non-components at that level. So this component would maintain and display a collection of those non-component objects, but no other component would be expected to know anything about them, and the non-component objects wouldn't know about any components at all.
2) it might be helpful to give all the non-component objects a method that looks like this:
void drawSelf(Graphics g);and that this method would tell the object to draw itself on that Graphics object. The object might also have an "offset" value, essentially an x,y position, and it would draw itself relative to that position.

Opening Numbers and getting the same page size and location each time

Can someone help me with something which is pretty basic, please?
When I open a Numbers spreadsheet which I use frequently, each time it opens as a tiny box and always has to be resized and repositioned onscreen before I can start work.
I figure there must be something I can do to have it open in the same screen position and the same size each time, but what?

Hi Norman,
Your tags show OS X Mavericks 10.9. The latest version of Mavericks is 10.9.2
Are using Numbers 3.0 ? The lates version of Numbers is 3.1 and it does save the zoom.
Maybe this will help, but it does not work in Numbers 3.0
Numbers > Preferences > General > Default Zoom > 100% (or whatever % you want).
And Save your document before closing to retain the zoom and position.
The Numbers *window* size can not (yet) be saved, but the zoom and the position within a sheet can be saved in Numbers 3.1
Regards,
Ian.

AppleScript That Saves Finder Window Size and Location

I wrote the following AppleScript to position and size Finder windows, but the Finder doesn't "remember" the settings the next time I open the windows.
tell application "Finder"
activate
make new Finder window to disk "Hard Drive"
set toolbar visible of Finder window 1 to false
set current view of Finder window 1 to icon view
clean up Finder window 1 by name
set position of Finder window 1 to {30, 55}
set bounds of Finder window 1 to {30, 55, 400, 625}
make new Finder window to folder " Files" of disk "Hard Drive"
set current view of Finder window 1 to icon view
set toolbar visible of Finder window 1 to false
clean up Finder window 1 by name
set position of Finder window 1 to {410, 55}
set bounds of Finder window 1 to {410, 55, 975, 455}
close Finder window 1
close Finder window 1
end tell
How do I make it so the Finder will remember the location and position?

Hello
Here is a script that I use daily.
The code used to force the Finder to "remember" the window position seems a bit tricky. If I remember well I found it on MacScripter.
As far as the Finder is not corrected, we must use this kind of trickery.
--[SCRIPT]
my commun(choose folder)
on open (sel)
my commun(sel's item 1)
end open
(* set bounds to {10, 50, 800, 600} *)
on commun(F)
set F to F as Unicode text
tell application "Finder"
if class of item F is document file then set F to (container of item F) as Unicode text
if ((class of item F) is folder) then my set_bounds(F, {10, 50, 800, 600}, false)
end tell
end commun
on set_bounds(F, b, toolbar)
local ao, i, lesFichiers, fichier
tell application "Finder" to tell folder F
set lesFichiers to every file
repeat with fichier in lesFichiers
my saveImageWithItselfAsIcon(fichier as alias)

tell container window
set ao to class is Finder window

set current view to icon view
set properties of its icon view options to ¬

set toolbar visible to toolbar
if not ao then close
end tell -- to container window

my set_bounds((i as alias), b, toolbar)

How to keep default Finder window size and location from Mac server

Working in an office of three people. Mac mini server (not sure of the OS; I think it's Snow Leopard). We each use iMacs with Mavericks. I have my default new Finder window set to open "customers" folder, which resides on the server, in a specific orientation. If either of my co-workers opens "customers" and resizes that window on their machines, it retains that size & location when I open it again on my machine (as I'm sure it does to them after I "fix" my own window).
Is there any way to change this so that one's own machine will remember the window prefs? I mean, we're not opening on the server itself, so in my mind it should not retain the last open position, right?
I know I could set my default folder to Home, then go to customers from the sidebar, but that almost defeats the purpose of the default folder.
thanks in advance!!

Hey Macdaddy,
This happens all the time with our server at work. The server window never opens in the same place twice, and it can be annoying.
There are third-party window management tools out there, but what I did was use a macro program called Keyboard Maestro (since I already owned it).
Among the many things Keyboard Maestro can do is manipulate a window. I created a macro that moves it to a specific point (in my case, the upper left corner of the screen) and then resizes it to a specific width and height in pixels. I then assigned the macro a keyboard shortcut.
Now, when I mount the server, I can use the keyboard shortcut and the window is right where I want it.
There are other programs that just move windows, and I tried a couple. But Keyboard Maestro is more elegant in my opinion, and it does a whole lot more if you choose to go that route.
Hope this helps.

I have lost pictures in iPhoto, but I can see them in the data folder, except they are only thumbnail size. They will not open at regular size and are showing unreadable in the "originals" folder. I've rebuilt and nothing is restoring these pics.

I have lost pictures in my iPhoto. We moved my iPhoto to a external hard drive and I believe since then, I have random pics missing. Some pics will show up in the "photos" and some show with a title and a blank picture. When I click on "package contents" in iPhoto, I have found the "Originals" folder where all the pics are pulling from and the file is there but won't open. However, in the DataXML folder under package contents, I can open the file but it is much smaller (supposed to be 1 MG, but showing in the data folder as 63kb). How can I get these pics restored in the Originals folder? I've rebuilt the library several times and I just ran the iPhoto Library Manager and it won't pull from the data file. Help!!

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How do you open multiple binary files and plot them all on the same graph?

I have three different binary files and I want to plot all 3 of them onto a graph.
I am familiar with opening and reading a single binary file. (Thanks to the help examples!)
But to do multiple numbers at the same time? I was thinking of putting 3 different 'reading from binary file' blocks with the rest of the 'prompts', 'data type', etc.. and then connecting them on the same wire.
However, I got into a mess already when I tried to read one .bin file to dynamic data type --> spectral measurements --> graph waveform. The error was Not enough memory to complete this operation... Why is that? That didnt happen in the help example "Read Binary File.vi"... Has it got something to do with the dynamic data type?
Thank you for your time.
Jud~

Have a look at the image below and attached VI. Simply enter the different paths into the PathArray control.
