Possible to reduce the amount of white space in thumbnail view?

Hi, after following these directions to generate large thumbnail views, there is still a lot of white space surrounding the thumbnails - I'm wondering if this could be significantly diminished, to allow more images, closer together.
thanks
1. Open a folder containing images
2. Hit Command-F, then select the folder instead of the idiotic default This Mac in Find toolbar
3. From the View toolbar item select Icon
4. For the criterion select Kind Images All
5. At the bottom right corner of the window there is a size slider, use it to make them any size you want, they seem to max out around 450 pixels, which is a pretty fair size

While Apple appears to making the transition to 512x512 thumbs, there are only a few things that currently have icons of that size. Most are 128x128, so even though it is possible to do a hack to make Finder display larger thumbs, it is actually pretty pointless as most icons just get bigger and jaggier.
What happens with the Saved Search is that Finder does not use the "regular" icons, but draws its own from the file, and thus you get thumbs up to what will, one day, be the new standard of 512. AFAIK the only way to access these is thru the Saved Search, and, as you discovered, there is no adjustment for grid spacing in the Saved Search window.

  • TS1503 How can I reduce the amount of 'other' space used up on an iPhone 5?

    I am almost at storage capacity on my iPhone 5.  Almost 1/3 of my 16GB is taken up by the category 'Other'.  I have read posts pertaining to this with solutions that are supposed to help by deleting all of my music.  But I have also been advised not to try that.  Any other suggestions or comments?

    If you have read the countless posts answering this question, then you n=know that you need to restore the iphone.  You can try from backup first.  If that does not help, then restore as new.

  • How can I reduce the amount of storage my iPhone uses for messages?

    Is there any way to reduce the amount of storage space my iPhone uses for Messages?  Can I limit the storage to the last year or some other limit (specific date, specific amount of storage etc.)?
    Thank you

    I'm not sure there is a solution to your question, other than to not keep so many photos on your devices.  If you delete a photo from photo stream, it will delete it from all your devices.  To keep them, first save them to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  However, given the number of photos you have, a much more practical solution would be to transfer them to your computer using an app like PhotoSync, which will select them all at once and transfer them over wifi.
    I'm not sure why you're seeing such a discrepancy in the amount of space taken up by your photos.  It's possible that something is corrupt given the large number of photos on your device.

  • Reducing the amount of space

    I'm attempting to use some code like this to make a tabbed
    page.
    <cfformgroup type="tabnavigator" style="indicatorGap:0;
    verticalGap:3;">
    <cfformgroup type="page" label="Contact Summary">
    <cfformgroup type="vbox" id="editForm">
    There is to much space between the tab (contact summary) and
    the first form element inside that tab. I've tried going over all
    the formatting style options at the following URL:
    http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm ?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00000677.htm
    I just can't get that darn space out of there. I know it is
    tough to see what I'm talking about without an image, but no
    uploads to this forum that I can see.
    Anyone got a tip?

    Thanks for your reply. I was going to take a screen shot and
    link to it or something. Before I did that, I thought I would check
    out the site you have listed beta.killtheheart.com... Well, guess
    what! You have the same 'problem' that I am trying to fix.
    Looking at your form, you have a number of tabs. The default
    shows as the music tab for me. From the bottom of the music tab to
    the start of the search box you have a lot of space. This is
    exactly what I have, and I can't figure out what style will reduce
    the amount of space that is shown there. It is waisting an entire
    line, and I'm trying to squeeeze as much as possible on the form.

    Let's pretend that you told us which version of Pages you are talking about, and that you are using Pages 5:

  • When I look in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel it reports Firefox as 5.44GB. Could this be true? If so how do I reduce the amount of space it is taking up?

    When I look in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel it reports Firefox as 5.44GB. Could this be true? If so how do I reduce the amount of space it is taking up?

    It is quite common for the program size listings to be wrong. To check the actual size of the Firefox installation, you can manually check the size of the Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory installation directory]. It is is typically around 26-30Mb, and the default location on 32 bit Windows is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    There are also a couple of other locations where Firefox stores data, check the size of the following folders as well.
    Firefox also stores user data such as bookmarks and passwords in the [[profiles|profile folder]]. It should be inside this folder C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
    Firefox stores temporary files in the cache. To find the location of the cache, type '''about:cache''' into the location bar. It should be inside this folder C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
    The last 2 folders are normally hidden, you may need to set Vista to [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial130.html show hidden files and folders].

  • To know the amount of free space in a tablespace

    hi,
    I'm learning oracle 9i release 9.2.0.1.0 .I'd created a tablespace 'TOOLS' for being used as the default tablespace for Statspack.
    I wish to know the amount of free space available in this tablespace. For this purpose I ran the following query but there was no rows selected :-
    SQL> select tablespace_name,bytes from dba_free_space
    2 where tablespace_name='TOOLS';
    no rows selected
    SQL> select name from v$tablespace;
    NAME
    CWMLITE
    DRSYS
    EXAMPLE
    INDX
    ODM
    SYSTEM
    TOOLS
    UNDOTBS1
    USERS
    XDB
    TEMP
    Can anyone tell the reason for this.

    I tried your query
    SQL> select TABLESPACE_NAME,
    2 sum(BYTES) Total_free_space,
    3 max(BYTES) largest_free_extent
    4 from dba_free_space
    5 group by TABLESPACE_NAME;
    ♀TABLESPACE_NAME TOTAL_FREE_SPACE LARGEST_FREE_EXTENT
    CWMLITE 11141120 10878976

    9 rows selected.
    Again there were no rows for TOOLS tablespace.

  • How can I get the amount of free space that is on my drive to show at the bottom of the drive in Lion.

    How can I get the amount of free space that is on my drive to show at the bottom of the drive in Lion.
    This is a must feature for me and I may have to go back to Snow Leopard.
    Please help!

    Right click on your desktop and choose "viewer options". Adjust the spacing and the size of your icons and you should be able to see the size of your drive(s) and the free space available on each drive with the exception of your bootcamp drive which will only show the overall size of the drive you have it on.  This may be different if you only have one system drive (like on a Mac Book Pro) with a partition containing bootcamp on it. this may only show you the overall capacity, I can't say for sure though as I only use a Mac Pro with 4 seperate Hard Drives which are showing both overall capacity and free space available. Hope this helps

  • How to limit the amount of disk space Time Machine will use?

    On Yosemite, how do you limit the amount of disk space Time Machine will use?
    I'm using a Seagate Goflex Home 2tb drive connected to my router as a Time Machine backup drive.  I use this for three things 1)Time Machine 2) an occasional backup of  windows document subdirectory  3) backup of music and photos for long term storage.   Doing something like re-partioning the drive is not an option.  I'll just go buy another drive for time machine's sole use. In addition, using software from Seagate is not an option.  I don't want to use their software for different reasons (mainly the GoFlex home is really designed as a "media server"  which I don't use.  I, of course, use iTunes. ) On the Mac, I'm only using about 250GB total but time machine is rapidly using up space.
    Apparently using a terminal command like below, used to work,  but no longer works under Yosemite.
    For a limit of 100gb the number below would be 100 x 1024
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize 102400
    To remove the limit, use the following command:
    sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize
    Now, I'm not too familiar with terminal and I'm not about ready to issue a command without knowing exactly what it is going to do.
    Is there an easier "switch" someplace or an app that does this?
    If I don't limit the size, at some point there will not be any space left for windows backups and additional photo and music files.

    Hmm- added "sudo" and there was no error reported:
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize xxxxxx
    I guess we'll see.

  • Reducing the amount of code in htm pages :-)

    Hi, I recently had to reduce the amount of abap business logic in a view.
    The view was in a large multifunctional bsp that someone else had written, and to which I needed to add some code.
    That view consisted of many htm includes, each include having an enormous amount of business logic determining the choice and parameters of htmlb expressions that were to be rendered by that view.
    Thus I had view1 with many such includes: <%@include file="page_or_fragment.htm" %> and the includes would include further includes.
    All this meant that the bsp was at its limit: adding 10 lines of htmlb code caused a dump : too much abap, branch offset limit reached.
    End of project?
    The solution was simple, once found with the help of discussions in this forum and the online documentation:
    1) Set the main controller lifetime to session.
    2) In the view called by that controller, replace the biggest include statement:
    <%@include file="biggest.htm" %> with the statement:
    <bsp:call url="controller_for_biggest.do" > </bsp:call>
    3) Do not code comp_id on that call (it is prefixed to code later if you do, and the bsp has not been written that way).
    4) Define a new view with the same content as the previous include, 'biggest.htm', let's call it 'biggest_view'.
    5) Take out the begin and end tags for the htmlb content, page, and form extension elements from 'biggest_view'.
    6) Define the new controller 'controller_for_biggest.do'
    7) The new controller creates and then calls the new view in the normal way in via call_view( 'biggest_view' ).
    So the project could restart.
    I hope this is useful.
    Kind regards David Lawn

    This is sound advice.
    I have an application that suffered from these "growing pains" and so I redesigned much of it with your advice.
    Good stuff.

  • HT201318 Reduce the amount of iCloud storage you are using by September 30, 2013 emails

    I keep getting emails telling me to reduce the amount of storage you are using or purchase a storage plan, but when I click Manage my Storage Plan the plan I want isn't available. I've been trying to get help on this topic for a week.

    What is your current plan and what plan are you trying to choose?  Also, are you a former MobileMe user who's free upgrade is about to expire?

  • How can I reduce the amount of storage a shared photo stream is taking on one of my devices

    I have over 8000 photos on the Cloud in various shared photostreams.  They all appear on all my devices which is great.  The devices show the photos using about 1GB of memory unless I plug into iTunes when it reveals they are in fact using circa 15GB!!  This is ok on the devices with large memory capacity but one of my 'phones is only 16GB in total and is now full.
    If I try to delete a photostream on this phone it threatens to delete the photostream on all my devices.
    It would appear that my cloud storage for photostream is limited by the device with the least memory. 
    Any ideas on solutions gratefully received.  Buy a new phone with more memory or delete some of the photostreams are the sub optimal ideas I have at present.
    Also why is the usage understated on the devices and only revealed when I plug in to iTunes?
    Many Thanks
    D

  • Is it possible to reduce the web page to fit the window? Therefore loosing the need for the side bar sliders

    Although I have two screens I still need to keep my windows quite small and I was wondering if it was possible to automatically reduce the size of the web page to match the size of the available space in the window instead of having side bars sliders so if I needed to read text then I could just increase the window size and the web page would expand accordingly.

    Enable audience for that webpart. Keep users who have access to that list\library :)
