Problems using "Edit Column Widths" feature in List View component

Hello. I'm using a list view component (Xcelsius 4.5 Professional) to display a simple table of text from Excel. I want to adjust the width of the component colums so that all of them fit on the screen at the same time- regardless of how wide they are in the excel columns. The problem is the columns in excel are of variable length; I have no way to predict how wide they will be. The list view component always defaults to the widest column(s) so it ends up pushing some of the columns to the right and I then have to use the scroll bar to see them. I thought the "edit column widths" would allow me to force the column widths in the component (potentially truncating some of the columns), but it does not work that way.
How is the "edit column width" feature supposed to work? What does one enter in the value for each label? Are the units in pixels? When I start entering values I get all kinds of strange behavior...

This was a great place for me to start
Thank you
I took profdant139's suggestions a bit further as my real goal was to have the "Document column" narrower. The goal to be able to see all the other document info that was usually hidden way out to the right
To achieve my results I right clicked in the upper bar with the column names and chose from the drop down box "comments" column (as suggested). I then dragged it to the far right. This pushed all the other columns over.
In the end of the day I ended up adding "Size" and "Date modified" columns as well to get my desired results.
Remember one can move different columns around to be in the order you need by clicking on the column to get it active and then left click and drag it to where you want
Another great thing is that by default (Using Mavericks) the date modified, opened,created columns have date and time. One can shrink them down to xx/xx/xx format by manually adjusting the column width like one does in Excel - click on column separator up top and drag
Once all that is done, at least on my box, I closed it out and opened up a new finder window and everything was as I wanted.
Thank you for the help from the above helper to get me here

Column width in finder LIST view

I am using Yosemite. This issue has been driving me mad for years and try as I may I cannot find the solution.
How do you set a default column width in Finder LIST view for all folders? Whatever I do (for example VIEW OPTIONS, USE AS DEFAULTS) does not work.
Can anybody help? I would use third party plugins if I could find something that controls this. Please note: I am using LIST view NOT column view.
Many thanks

Like Jim, I also generally use Icon view for folders containing images, and have the View Option to show item info selected. Column view will also show image dimensions (both of these work, provided the folder has been indexed by Spotlight).
If you want to see the dimensions, but also want to view the folder contents in List view, the best you can do is bring up the Inspector (Command-Option-i), expand the More Info section, then move down the list using the arrow key. The Inspector pane's contents change with each new selected item, and the More Info section includes the dimensions.

Finder crashes when Preview column is active in list view

I've created a bootable system backup of OS X 10.10.1 on an external 1TB HD connected via firewire 800 to a 2011 iMac running OS 10.10.1.
I have had no problems with Yosemite's Finder on the iMac if I boot from the internal HD. I check to be sure which HD I've started from by having the Finder window show the Path Bar via a setting in the Finder's View menu.
The problems only appear when I boot from the external HD, then the Finder crashes when the Preview column is active in list view. I can force quit and restart the Finder via the Force Quit Applications (command-option-escape) tool. I can open files from within an open application but cannot open files by clicking on the file directly, as long as the Finder is set to Show the Preview column. I prefer to work in list view, so suggesting I use another view doesn't solve my problem.
Another strange issue is that I can boot from the external HD if I select that HD in System Preferences > Startup Disk but not if I hold down the option key and select that HD during start-up if the Preview column is active in list view. When I try to boot from the external HD by selecting that HD during start-up, instead the computer starts up from the internal HD.
I CAN boot from the external HD if I select the external HD during boot-up IF the Preview column is NOT active in list view.
Is there a way for me to reinstall the OS on the external HD only? I did create a bootable Yosemite installer jump drive when I installed Yosemite on the iMac originally.
I've run Disk Utility on the external HD from the files available on the Recovery HD to both verify the HD and repair disk permissions to no avail.

Open Terminal application (spotlight for it). If you don't have it, get it from the Apple Support site.
In the command-line window that appears, type in:
<user>$ cd /Users/<user>/Library/Preferences
<user>$ rm com.apple.finder.plist
<user>$ ls com.apple.finder.plist
the system shouldn't return anything as the file should be gone
<user>$
exit from Terminal - you may need to restart your system at this point to recreate the com.apple.finder.plist.
Good luck -

Problem with showing mp3 album art in list view.

Hello.
I have litle problem with showing mp3 album artwork in list view.
In SNOW LEOPARD all work fine, and all mp3 files have album art's preview in list mode in finder.
But in LION i have only default preview mp3 icon.
Option "Show icon preview" is already on!

I have the fix!!!!
I have had the same issue ever since Lion. Its been very painful not having album art preview in finder or the play button when rollover the file for so many versions of OSX. Today I worked hard in trying to solve the problem since Applecare support hasn't helped much, all they did was tell me to bring the computer in. The other main reason I got so motivated to try and fix this is because the DJ app for Mac only reads album art from the finder even if iTunes can display the album art. The other reason that got me curious is that my friends macbook pro album art worked fine, so I cross checked with his computer until I figured out a few things that helped and ultimately fixed the issue. FINALLY!
My set up:
- I have my full iTunes library folder on my external as I have over 700GB of music.
- It includes all my database files in there, which is very important as I have many playlist settings from over 7 years of iTunes activity.
SOLUTION:
1. With every new computer I have purchased, I use to just pressed option on Mac and press iTunes to locate my folder (which I have said is located on my external drive).
2. I tried today to press option again BUT locate and selected the default library in the user/music folder of my internal drive (standard setting from Apple).
3. Miraculously, all the album art appeared in both my external drive library and also today's downloaded songs on my Macbook pro. Ofcourse with the new default location I don't have any songs or data.
4. So I tried to find a way to keep this library data on my internal drive since it can help the finder display all my files properly, yes even have the play on rollover button but as well link it back to my external drive with all my 700GB songs.
5. I then went into iTunes Preferences/Advance tab and in iTunes Media folder locationredirected the location to my external drive iTunes/ iTunes Media folder. If it asks to collate data, press NO.
6. Then I quit iTunes.
7. Next I copied the 4 files to my desktop from my external drive as I want to keep the data I have made with all my playlists etc. The four files are iTunes Library Extras.itdb ,iTunes Library Genius.itdb , iTunes Library.itl , iTunes Library.xml
8. I then went to my internal drive User/Music/Itunes/ and dragged these 4 files I copied from my external drive into here and making sure to REPLACE the four existing files already there.
9. Next open iTunes and you will find all your presettings appear with all your music linked to your external. What this does is keep the important library files on your internal drive (that somehow makes your finder files album art appear), BUT to read also all the music mp3 files located in the external drive (action from step 5)
Presto!! All your music files whether on internal drive or external all the album art has appeared.
Hope this helps!! Let me know if there are any other questions.
I am on 10.8.1 running retina macbook pro.

Adding a column into the assets list view?

I am trying to find a way to add a column into the assets list view.
At the moment it has... Title, Metadata Set, Image Size, Duration, Size, Status etc...
I would like to add another metadata field into the list and cannot find anywhere to do it. For example, add the 'Reel' metadata field into the list.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

1. Log into Final Cut Server as the Admin.
2. Open the Advanced Administration window from the java client.
3. Search for the Metadata Group name "List"
Note this search will return approximately 29 items, but you'll want to modify the one
with the Metadata Group ID "ASSETLISTVIEW"
4. Add the fields to that group that you want.
5. To have these field show up either create New Workspace or logout and login.
Hope this helps.

List view component not being ordered

I am using the list view component to represent my table data. for creating a new row, i use a popup which has a separate taskflow in which i create a new row. Now i need to refresh the list view component after this new row is created. I am doing that using contextual events. I just re execute the query of the vo based on which the list view component is made. But in order to get the in memory rows, i set the view objects query mode to scan view rows as well as entity based rows. This however makes the vo query's order by clause to not work. I am not sure why but the list view data is no longer ordered.
Also if anyone has any idea how to refresh the entire list view component, that is load data again, it would be of great help.
Thanks in advance,
Jithesh

Hey,
I'm new at this so i'm going to try to help (although it problably won't work or do what you want).
You said you want to refresh the entire list view component, well, normally i have my views/data controls connected to a binding variable in my bean class and if i want to update something (lets say a selection) i use this code:
AdfFacesContext adfFacesContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
adfFacesContext.addPartialTarget(dimFactSales);
dimFactSales = variable binded to one of my views.
Hope that helps,
Frederico.

Edit Column Width in Expanded View

I'm not too thrilled about the new iTunes, mostly because of the loss of easy navigation.
My library is full mostly of classical music, and the track names are often very long [eg. "Couperin: Pièces de Clavecin, Onziême Ordre - Les Jongleurs, Sauteurs Et Saltimbanques, Avec Les Ours Et Les Singes"].
The library songs display isn't good for me because it's difficult to keep track of which album one track is a part of, or I'll be looking for something in a specific album which is very difficult to find since each track has its album listing. I liked it before where each album had its array of tracks in one easy bloc.
The difficulty with the albums list is that the text under the albums is cut off before I can see which album it actually is [eg. I see "Bach: Organ Wor...", which isn't good for me because I'm looking for "Bach: Organ Works [Disc 9]"; so in order to find the one I want, I have to count up to number 9. And then when I finally find the right album, I can't distinguish between track names in the expanded view because the columns are too thin to display the often lengthy track names.
It looks something like this in "expanded view":
Say I'm looking for the the Menuetto of Haydn's String Quartet #70 in the album Haydn: String Quartets [Disc 20]:
Album: Haydn: String Quar...
1. Haydn String Quartet #70, Op....
2. Haydn String Quartet #70, Op....
3. Haydn String Quartet #70, Op....
4. Haydn String Quartet #70, Op....
How can I find it when the columns are too thin to display the entire track name?
It seems like the "songs view" and the "albums view" have their own difficulties. So I have two questions:
Is there a way to change the size of the album boxes under "album view"? Now, seven albums fit in one row [in full screen mode]. If I could change it to four albums per row, then I will be able to read the full album names.
Also, in the "expanded view", is there a way to change the width of the columns? If I could increase the column width, then I will be able to read the different track names.
If these things can't be done, then the album view is useless to me, and since the "songs view" is also difficult to use, then this version of iTunes is useless to me and I will have to find another media player.
It's unfortunate that iTunes 11 can be so difficult for classical music listeners, but I'm sure other people have difficulties with this too.
Thanks for the help!
Kind regards,

As far as I know.. no.

Problems using the 'stationery template' feature in mail

I have used the stationery templates feature in mail without any problems in the past. Now when i send a stationery template, like a photo template, the email is unreadable for the people receiving my emails (both Mac & PC). Sometimes the email looks like a Picasso painting or the receiver gets a bunch of attachments as if the email came in a bunch of separate files. Could this be possible due to the upgrade to 10.6 from 10.5? Or am i doing something wrong? Is there a separate upgrade for this?
thanks

Only using Quick Edit to interact with a list/view in Sharepoint 2013

Hello All,
I would like users to only interact with a view in Quick Edit mode as it has all the functions I need (Edit,add and delete) without having to open Web Forms. Is there a way to hide the "New Item" link on all current and future views for a list?
Thanks
MM

Lobo,
If you want to hide "+ New Item" which come as web part top left corner, then edit web part
Select "Data Sheet view" as default view from "Selected view" drop down of "edit web part property"
- "Data Sheet view" as web part don't show " + New Item" link.
If that list is display as web part in any of the page not as data sheet view as default then below steps will help.
Make "Toolbar type" as No toolbar just below selected view
Change view style to default to "Basic table" from "Edit the current view" of "edit web part property"
If you want to remove "new item" from file tab of ribbon, then permission need to be removed as contributor to read only.

Sort order when using "Album by Artist/Year" album list view

In iTunes 10, I seem to have lost the sorting I've been using for the past 5 years at least. I use the "Album List" view, and have the album artwork showing to the left of the songs. I see the new "Album by Artist/Year" sort option in the album artwork column, and that is how I would like it to sort. However, now the album are arranged by artist, and within the artist by the year they were released as tagged in the info for each song. I want the newest albums at the top, and I cannot figure out how to make it sort that way. What do I need to do? Basically I want it in descending order by release date, but still sorted by album.

It appears they are, although I refuse to believe this is the accepted behaviour - has no one else complained about this?
It could simply be a weakness is the way this was all designed. If you look at the information Gracenote uses, it's not unusual for all tracks on a 60's compilation album to be incorrectly listed as the same year, often the year the compilation was released. The same thing tends to happen with re-issued albums. That's down to whoever inputs the information into Gracenote for that album, often a bored record company employee.
First of all, you could try changing the year for each documentary to the year the album was produced and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then you have to decide how to handle it.
Accept it as it is.
Change the year for the documentary to the same year as the album and simply kid yourself that it's the correct year. (I'm not being flippant, but if the documentary is all footage from album release year, then "technically", the doumentary is from that 60's year.)
Leave the year of the documentary track blank, but put the year (2010) into the track's "Comments" field instead.
Propose a workable solution to Apple via Apple Feedback. (I am being a bit flippant now. Sorry, but you'll be in for a long wait before anything might change.)
Get Gracenote to change their text fields, get the people who input the information into Gracenote to do so correctly and then get Apple to change iTunes to recognise those changes. (Now I am being very flippant. Good luck with this one!) Oh! And hope Apple never decide to change from Gracenote to someone else!
Number 2 or 3 are probably your best bet.

Can I set all folders to the same column with in Finder list view?

I set Finder to display 4 columns in list view: Name, Date Modified, Size, Kind. Is there a way to apply the width of those columns to all folders? Column width is not affected by the option "use as defaults" in the view options.

I've just seen that somebody else asked the same question lately:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22368987#22368987
There seems to be no way to do what I want to do.

Finder problem-can't sort some folders in list view

Hi,
I have a problem with some of my folders in Finder. I prefer to use 'list' view when working in Finder. However, in some of my folders the item bar is greyed out and I can't click the bar to sort. From the image below, the left image is the folder in question; the right is the normal view that I like to work in where I can click on the bar to sort items.
I'm not sure why this is happening, so could somebody shed some light on this please.
Thanks.

I had the same question. Credit goes to http://superuser.com/questions/339525/os-x-lion-new-finder-view-that-doesnt-allo w-sorting for the answer.
If you have a window that is in this state, first click the title bar to make sure it's the "active" window, then go to the "View" menu, then click "Sort by..." : None.
Make sure "None" is active, then you can sort just like it's 1984-2010.

Web Form Cancel Edit button changes value of List View item when clicked

I have a web form, I shows 3 buttons, Edit, Save, And cancel. When the user presses the edit button it enables editing. When the user makes an edit and presses the save button it saves the changes. When the user presses the cancel button, it does cancel
the edit ok but it changes the vale in the left list view to a different value. For instance my left list view has a list of vendor names. When I click cancel, the vendor name shown for the selected record, changes to the vendor number. I
have experimented with different values to show in the list view, I have turned off sorting, etc. No matter what everytime I click cancel button it changes the vendor name to the vendor number.
Even stranger is when I scroll the list up and the item that changed is move out of view and then you scroll back down to put it in view it puts the value back to the vendor name.
This isn't consistent as I have created some forms where it doesn't do this.
Also when I create a new list view, does anyone know how to get it into the tile pane . the only way to get anything in that list appears to be that I have to create a whole new table.

Data visible in List view(component in Xcelsius) but not in charts

Hi,
I am facing an issue in Xcelsius. I am getting data from SAP R3 to BW Cubes,built queries and made d universe and QaaWS(Query as a Web Service) on top of that.When importing in Xcelsius,firstly I am unable to view the data in Excel sheet, but the data is visible in viewlist when i bind the data to it.The problem is coming when I am using Charts etc...not able to view the key figures in charts....for ex if i am giving fiscal year and corresponding sales figures...I am able to see the fiscal year on X axis but sales figures are not coming on Y axis...tried with everything else..not working.
Kindly suggest some solution for this!!

so you can use a grid or table or a selector and you can see the data including the keyfigures but when using a chart you can not ?
which chart are you using ?
are there any variables involved ?
