Question re. Column View/List View in Home Folder and Root Folder?

<Edited by Host>
When I set either my Home folder in the Dock or the Root Folder on the Desktop to open in Column View, everything opened is retracted upon closing.
Is this just the way Leopard is, or am I missing something obvious I should know:
First, on Tiger, my Home Folder opens directly in the Finder. I don't have to select "Open in Finder," as I have to in Leopard.
Second, when I select the Column option when opening the Home Folder in the Finder, it automatically sets the Column option for the Root Folder on the Desktop, as well (and vice-versa). In Tiger, they can be set independently. I prefer to have the Root Folder set to List View and the Home Folder to Column View, and have both remain like that. This is what I meant, but got a bit confused before in asking the question.
Also, is there some way, as in Tiger, to have the Home Folder in the Dock set to open automatically in the Finder, without having to select that option each time I go to the Home Folder?
Actually, now that I remember, perhaps this isn't such surprising behavior. To get it there, I copied the Home Folder from its position in the Root Folder to the Dock. Maybe there is some other way to get the Home Folder into the Dock? Thanks.

Thanks. The option "Open in Finder" appears at the bottom of a small vertical menu when I click on the Home Folder in the Dock. Command clicking on the Home Folder brings up the other user account, Shared, and my user account, so it's not that useful.
ah, you are right. well, one more option is to make an alias to the home folder, put it anywhere you want and put the alias on the dock. then clicking (no command-clicking needed) on the alias in the dock will open home in a finder window directly.
The default in Finder Preferences was already set the way you suggested.
Now that I know about cmd-n, that gets me directly to the Home Folder in the Finder. And now that it's set up to open in Column View, and remain that way independent of the View option for the Root folder, everything seems to be looking good. That's what I needed.

  • Custom column in List view

    Dear guru's,
    I'd like to ask you if its possible to add custom column in list view. For example in tc. FBL1N I'd like to add a column with custom text (for example with value "1" for counting the sum of rows). Is it possible to do without creating custom program?
    Thank you all.
    Regards.
    Michael.

    Hi Michael,
    It's not possible to add some extra text in standard out-put without modifying it or creating custom program.
    For adding a column in your list view. I think this write statement will help you
    WRITE 'You can overwrite the following line:'.
    FORMAT INPUT ON INTENSIFIED OFF.
    WRITE 'WRITE HERE'.
    FORMAT INPUT OFF INTENSIFIED ON.

  • How to view code of all the custom and complex folder  folder

    How to view code of all the custom and complex folder folder in EUL?

    You do not need to run all the reports.
    Also i am not sure about why do you need to see the code of every thing, i assume you will not get much from it.
    If there is a certain folder you are interested in then this is the way.
    Any way there is no way to get the code of the complex folders since they are logical join of other folders.
    to get the code of the custom folder s you can use:
    select * from eul_us.eul5_objs t
    WHERE t.obj_type='CUO'
    AND t.obj_object_sql1 IS NOT NULL;
    you should look (and concatenate) at the obj_object_sql1,obj_object_sql2.....

  • Format for certain columns in list view control

    I have a list view control and I would like to format the alignment for certain columns. I heard that the only way you can do this is by formatting the cells in excel. I tried this with no success. Can someone please give me step by step instructions on how to achieve this. I am currently allowing Xcelsius to handle my formatting for money. Is it possible to have Xcelsius handle the money formatting and have excel handle the alignment  formatting. I am open to whatever works at this point. Also I am using Xcelsius 2008 (Build Number 12,2,1,66).
    Much Thx

    Hi,
       In list view control you can format the entire row only, not a certain column.
       Go to property>Appearance>Text Tab>select Header>Format selected text->select the format.
      For width change: Property> Layout Tab>check custom column width the click the icon and enter width in pixel.

  • Lookup Column Issue - List View Threshold exceeded

    We use Sharepoint Foundation 2010 and we have 2 Lists in a site. Those are:
    1. Customers List.
    2. Sale Invoices List.
    Customers List has Title field as Unique & Indexed Column.
    Sale Invoices List has a lookup column (i.e., Customer) from the Customers List (Title).
    My issue is:
    Customers List has just crossed 5000 items. When I try to add a List Item in Sale Invoices List (where I have Lookup Column from Customers List), it throws an error as given below:
    Error Message:- This is a lookup column that displays data from another list that currently exceeds the List View Threshold defined by the
    administrator (5000). To add items to the current list, please ask the list owner to remove this column.
    I have increased temporarily the List View Threshold Limit to 6000 Items. It’s working fine now.
    Is there any solution to fix the issue without increasing the List Items Threshold Limit?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Sri,
    If this activity (adding item) is done programmatically, then we can set
    SPList.EnableThrottling = false
    but this approach is not recommended though.
    Please let us know if this fixes your issue.
    Thanks,

  • Display more columns in list view?

    Is there any way to display more than the standard columns (filename, dates, size, &c.) in list view in the Finder?  If it's possible to search for other attributes (author, EXIF info, &c.) using the find function, why can't this information also be displayed as list view columns?

    Additonally, one could send bug reports and enhancement requests to Apple via its Bug Reporter system. Register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. If you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug/ER ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

  • How to Hide Size Column in List View

    My default setting for the Finder is to have folders display in list view with the size column turned off. This works like a charm for every folder except the Applications folder which always displays a size column whenever the finder is re-launched (it's always scrolled to the bottom of the list too, which is weird). It wouldn't bother me if the size values were cached somehow and just updated quietly in the background but it takes quite a while to calculate each value and actually slows down the finder.
    I've tried deleting finder preferences but to no avail.
    Does anyone know what's going on here?
    [The above was originally posted here [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9524102#9524102] but I was asked to move along by a surly faced police officer]

    OK. Problem fixed but unfortunately not completely solved.
    Talking about permissions and administrator issues made me wonder, so I logged in using my admin account and seemed to be having exactly the same issue. I was unable to set a default permamantly for the Applications folder. Except that when I tried to set a default in another folder (Documents I think) and restarted the Finder the setting held for all directories. When I logged back in under my regular user account it also held.
    I have finally eliminated that pesky size column -- for good! (Of course I may want it occasionally, but that's at my discretion). The window also maintains a correct scroll point, corresponding to where it was last positioned.
    I wish I knew exactly what has happened. All I really know is that fiddling (as usual) has fixed it and that it probably has something to do with Administrator privileges.
    Thanks again for your suggestions and especially for being a sounding board.

  • Modify columns in list view - add annotations

    Hello! Does anyone know if we can add new columns to the list view of assets in the production window? My goal is to have a column that shows annotation information in the list view. Possible?
    Thanks!

    Yes, kind of. You can add (and subtract) columns to a list view by modifying the List (ASSETLISTVIEW) metadata group. You can add Annotations but I'm not sure what you'll see for a value given it is not a unicode value field. It might not be a ver useful field to have in list view.

  • Change name Content view/List view

    Hello!
    Does anybody know how can I change the name Content view and List view in SRM-MDM catalog?
    Thanks in advance!
    Best regards,

    Hello Karin,
    I believe you are referring to Customize Display tab under SRM - MDM UI configuration where standard available are Item Lists, Thumnail view, Context view etc. I do not think SAP provided any options to change the name or add new customize display.

    I don't neccesarily need a "Video Dimensions" column, but if I could find a script that copies the dimensions into the comments, that'd be fine. I tried compiling the script posted above but it didn't work. I don't really know anything about writing applescripts.

  • Can't auto-resize columns in List View

    In 10.6 one could double-click the divider between columns to automatically have them resize to an optimal width. I can't do that. Is this intended behavior? Note: I'm not using the new "Arrange By..." feature which disables movement entirely.

    Wow ! - I humbly apologise.
    I have 3 different machines with Lion and so have my colleages.
    For all of us the two vertical lines disappeared in Lion.
    We can get a vertical stretch icon by hovering the mouse over the divider and double clicking this gives the same result.
    We have 10.7.1 - so what gives?
