Scaling feature for files within folders.

I purchased Lion yesterday and after a confusing purchase process a little box on the screen said it was installing. I do slide show presentations and really enjoyed the scaling feature for files found on the lower right hand corner within folders. That feature is not available in Lion as far as I can tell. Does anyone know if this feature is still available and can be activated through a preference?
I have found several useful features that were part of Snow Leopard are not available in Lion. To say Lion is better is questionable in my mind. Anyway, one question at a time.
Thanks

When viewing a folder in finder that contains your slide show presentations, you can ctrl click (right click) the background and choose "Show View Options". You can then use the Icon size slider to increase the size of the icons in that folder. The size you choose for that particular folder will be remembered next time you open it.

Shortcut for selecting multiple files within folders

I'm archiving a load of work on to CD and deleting the files off of my server but keeping the folders on there for reference.
Currently, I am having to SHIFT + click / COMMAND + click &drag to select these files and it is taking me forever.
Is there a keyboard shortcut that allows me to select all files within folders rather than just a select all which will select the folders aswell?

I would switch to list view, then click on the "Kind" column which will group the folders together. Now you can click and drag to select a large range of files, excluding the folders, or you can click on the first file, the Shift click on the last file to select a large range of files. At most you would need to do this twice. Once for files listed above folders, and once for files listed below folders.
If you want to use the Terminal, there are powerful Unix commands that can do this, however, that same power when misused can wipe out your disk :-)

HOW TO DELETE FILES or FOLDERS or Assets from Adobe Creative Cloud Brouser/Web Portal By: Kai Buskirk rev:130626
Adobe now burried deleting or trashing unwanted iteams files or folders in the Archive section of your creative cloud brouser/web portal.
Note!! - No longeer is there a standard TrashCan icon or simple Delete button... its burried in the archive sector: but why i ask?
An archive is an accumulation of historical records, or the physical place they are located.[1] Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the function of that person or organization. Professional archivists and historians generally understand archives to be records that have been naturally and necessarily generated as a product of regular legal, commercial, administrative or social activities.
In general, archives consist of records that have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation on grounds of their enduring cultural, historical, or evidentiary value. Archival records are normally unpublished and almost always unique, unlike books or magazines for which many identical copies exist. This means that archives (the places) are quite distinct from libraries with regard to their functions and organization, although archival collections can often be found within library buildings
A person who works in archives is called an archivist. The study and practice of organizing, preserving, and providing access to information and materials in archives is called archival science. The physical place of storage is sometimes referred to as an archive repository.
To delete files folders or individual assests in the current incarnation of adobe creative cloud brouser/web portal rev:130626
1 - Check mark the box on left and select files or folders you would like Deleted/Trashed and move them to the ARCHIVE folder location inside your adobe creative cloud brouser/web portal....Then navigate to the ARCHIVE SECTION
2 - Once the files or folders you have check marked are moved to the ARCHIVE folder location you can select them for Permanant Deletion (Trash)
ps: you can also restore them......if you so choose....
3 - in case you missed this step after selecting/checking the files or folders in the ARCHIVE folder there is a small Triangle Selector drop down that will reviel the Permanently Delete option.... clicking that is the point of no return i think..... so do not be misled my the use of the term ARCHIVE.... DELETING PERMANANTLY IS DELETING YO!
4 - OK DONE NOW YOU GOT IT .....
Good Luck Happy House Cleaning.....
Wamest Blessings,

Advanced permission for files and folders

Advanced permission for files and folders
Hi,
Just wanted to raise a quick query on setting a unique NTFS Security permission.
My requirement
A shared folder with the below listed access for users
A group of users should be able to create, read, rename files and folders inside a shared folder.
The group of users should not have the right to delete any folder or file from the shared folder.
This is what I have tried.
Gave modify permission to the Security group.
On Advanced permissions, denied delete subfolders and file & delete permission.
The effective permission for a user who is member of the security group over a file inside the shared folder is as shown.
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=835A81FDD1D9D9FC!109&authkey=!AGQFP11QTFaLHQM&v=3&ithint=photo%2cpng
But while trying to rename or modify the file, getting the below error message.
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=835A81FDD1D9D9FC%21110
Any help to achieve my requirement would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
JD

Hi JD,
Removing delete permission from the user or group brings a limitation that the user will not be able to rename the folder. This is because of the reason that the "rename" operation is also included within the "Delete" permission.
Thus if you want to prevent user from deleting the shared file, it's also not allowed to rename.

I can't search my LaCie external hard drive for files or folders.... please

Hello.
i am having trouble searching my LaCie hard drive for files or folders. The drive is mounted but a search using SPOTLIGHT or FILESPOT only results in my computer producing results.
can anyone help please?
cheers
Antony
Message was edited by: originallittlefella

When the Lacie drive is plugged into your computer, open System Preferences->Spotlight->Privacy to confirm that the drive is not in the privacy list.
If it is in the list, Spotlight won't index and search the drive.
If it is not in the list, consider adding it to the list (for example, by dragging its icon from the Desktop to the list), waiting 10 seconds, and then removing it from the list (click the minus(-) button). This will force OS X to re-index the drive and make it suitable for searching.

Role Assignment Discovery Issue for Files and Folders through Sharepoint REST services

To preface, I am a decided Sharepoint newbie in every sense. I am trying to use the Sharepoint REST services (Sharepoint 2013) to walk the folder and file structure of my Sharepoint server and, determine as I go, the Role Assignments (and subsequently
Permissions) on those folders and files. I'm using an Administrator credentials and I'm actually able to successfully do it but I've run into some caveats. All the caveats begin with this; when I'm examining a folder, for example:
/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/cmisdev/Development')/ListItemAllFields
I receive either an empty list or an error response doc when following the link supplied for ListItemAllFields. When following that kind of link for folders, I either get:
<d:ListItemAllFields
m:null="true"
/>
or an error response document that says "The object specified does not belong to a list." When I hit the /ListItemAllFields endpoint for files, I receive a response with a link for Role Assignments which subsequently also works and I get the
info I need. So, is this a bug? Why does the link returned from Sharepoint work for files and not folders? So, google, google, google, and I discover that there is another possible way to get at the Role Assignments (and that the object does, indeed, belong
to a list!).
If I know the Title (or the guid) of the folder in question, I can use the following endpoint:
/_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('Development')
If I use that endpoint, I get the information I would have expected to get from following /ListItemAllFields and the subsequent Role Assignments links all work and I get what I need. If there's a bug and this is how I have to work around it, that's fine
but I have yet to discover how to dynamically determine the Title of a given folder nor am I sure if all Titles are supposed to be unique within a given Sharepoint server. I'm assuming that the folder name as represented in the server relative URL and the
Title may be different and this is where my newbishness may start to shine if I'm misunderstanding what a "List" is supposed to be in Sharepoint. Anyway, I did find that I could use the Properties endpoint to perhaps get the Title, for example:
/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/cmisdev/Development')/Properties
gives me:
<d:vti_x005f_listtitle>Development</d:vti_x005f_listtitle>
whose value I assume I could then supply to the /GetByTitle endpoint and be golden. However, "vti_x005f_listtitle" just sounds a little too deep to be something I should be relying on but maybe that's kosher. That's part of what I'm trying to
find out. Also, if there is a way to use the Sharepoint REST API to discover the guid of a given object, then I could look it up in that way.
So, in summary:
1. Am I going about getting folder Role Assignment information in the wrong way? Based on the CSOM examples I've seen, I believe I'm doing it correctly and that the answer to #2 below is a resounding "Yes!" :)
2. Is it a bug if I'm not able to use /ListItemAllFields on folders using the server relative url?
3. If I'm supposed to use GetByTitle as a workaround, am I discovering that Title correctly through /Properties? Seems quite circuitous and awkward. Are Titles required to be unique throughout a given Sharepoint server?
4. If I'm supposed to use the guid, how can I use the REST interface to discover an object's guid? Once we get down to the Role Assignments and other links, the guid appears in those links but I don't know how to discover it independently if that's the
path I should use to get the data I described above.

Upon further research, I'll answer my own question for the benefit of some other potential future newbie. The answer to question number 1 above is "Not exactly.". The server relative URLs I was using corresponded to lists (which are
returned as a collection through /_api/web/lists). I was treating them mentally like regular folders. That, coupled with the fact that accessing their data as I showed above returns a ListItemAllFields link, made me think that was the way to get
the Role Assignments just as I would for files and, as it turns out, "real" folders and sub-folders created under these lists. That was the other problem with thinking of these lists as regular folders. So, ListItemAllFields works on
all files and folders in a list. However, if you want Role Assignments for the lists themselves, you can keep track of the Titles and\or Guids from the /_api/web/lists that you're interested in (in my case, all non-hidden "document library"
type lists) and then access those Role Assignments as I discussed in questions 3 and 4 above. For example, from the /_api/web/lists collection from my test server, the "Development" document library Role Assignments are accessable via /_api/Web/Lists(guid'cd242eeb-aafa-4efa-aecc-9bbdf8e3d459')/RoleAssignments
or /_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('Development')/RoleAssignments.

Just moved to Mac from Windows, so far biggest headache is the way folders are treated. I manage several very large websites and involve a lot of files within folders and I need the folders to show the date the last file inside it was changed?

In my FTP client I can click to sort by date modified which is fine if you are in a folder and then it shows the file dates correctly - but any folders within the root folder don't they seem to display randomly all together at the bottom of the list and it is a nightmare trying to find what folders have files in them that have been changed.
Is there any way to get the folder to register the last date of a file within it that was modified?

I dont know the answer yet, but i have noted what appears to be a bug in 10.9 in how it handles folder dates. Right now i am seeing folder modified dates changing randomly ot "today" - whatever date the parent folder was opened.
In the past my folders "modified" date was always the same as the last modified date of the items within. But this only moved down ONE level - if a subfolder's entries were updated the "gradfather" folder did not update.
But now severa people are reporting random, incorrect folder dates. I hoep this will be corrected soon, but who knows?

Default view for files in folders

Anyone who can help,
When using the 'FileSelectPopup' function, the files are always shown in the standard XP 'List' view, despite having set the default view in XP to 'Details'.
Is it possible to change the CVI default setting to show the 'Details' view?
Many thanks,
Allen Cherry

Hi Allen
Thanks for your post, I have been looking into whether it is possible to change the display of files within CVI, as of yet I have been unable to find any conclusive information on your request, so I am continuing to look into your query and I will let you know if I find anything additional.
I have had a look at the CVI help window and noticed there are some good examples on the fileselectpopup command, if you were unaware of these examples I recommend having a look. While searching the help I also came across a command which describes its task as 'specifies whether file icons appear next to each file' I am not certain this is what you are after, but it may help.
If you have any further questions or would like any further help with this, please let me know.
Thanks

Folders are in the cloud, but some files within folders are missing

Hi there
I have just switched from using dropbox to Creative Cloud to store files. When I upload a bunch of stuff, the folders load up, but the files within them are sometimes not loading. They are visible on the machine where I originally put them on, but not visible on my other machine or on the website. It says all files are synced?
Richard

Hi All,
The exact same thing is happening to me. The drop down only shows 5 of my bookmark folders. Unless I hit "Choose" then they all show but I don't want to take the extra steps. I have 9 different folders and I want to be able to just bookmark a website and drop it into that folder. I end up forgetting which folders I have b/c I only see 5 of the 9. Yes I can see them all when I hit choose but that defeats the purpose of having the bookmark function be a quick & simple one. If I have to "Organize" the folders every single time I favorite a site then its pointless to even show 5 of the folders you might as well not show any. Furthermore I can't even choose the 5 folders I want to show (i.e. the ones I use the most). I would be happy if I could opt to have my top 5 folders in the drop down menu & then the ones I don't use as much be under choose. But there is no option (that I can find) that lets you do that. I've even deleted, renamed, repositioned the folders and nothing is working.
Btw this only happens when I 1st bookmark a new page. Under Bookmarks I can see all of my folders & links (no problem). This only happens when I am 1st bookmarking a link & want to drop it into a folder I've created.
Please let me know if there is a way to fix this or is this a system issues.
Thank you,
Melina

How to view long file names and sort files within folders/projects?

Hello, like so many people here, I am a new mac user, but certainly not computer illiterate. I have been a professional photographer for 10 years and recently change to mac and have been slowly trying to adapt my work flow accordingly.
However I have become increasingly frustrated with Aperture 3 and after reading posts here it looks like I am certainly not the only person. While in my case I am sure it is because of my inexperience with mac systems so any guidance or assistance is much appreciated.
Hopefully my questions are simple. I have been importing my images and re-naming images as I do so. A very simple combination of date, custom name, and counter. However, when I look at the images once the import has completed, they are not in any logical order within the 'project'. I have tried to sort them by file name, orientation, file size, etc, both ascending and descending, but they will not list in the correct order. eg the file '2010-03-09 Lyon France 001', continually falls between '2010-03-09 Lyon France 022' and '....021'.
This has also lead me to a further question. While my file names can generally be read when the image is a landscape format, on the portrait images the file name it too long for me to read the whole name, and I can not find anyway to read the file name, eg browser, split screen, viewer, or full screen.
Im sorry for all the details, and I am sure it is just my lack of experience, so appreciate your help.
PS. On a separate note, I notice on another thread from the frustrated user 'ultratechy' that he got a reply from Tony who stated 'Also after installing any application you should always run disk utility and repair permissions....' Now as I am completely new to mac, I had no idea about this. Any other tips that I should always be aware of? Thanks again.

Thanks for your reply Calx. If it makes you feel better, I am actually a New South Welshman - just living in the sunshine state!
You are correct, I am trying to get my head around a new way of working and thinking, but I suppose it will all become clearer as time goes by. I have re-visited the manual many times, and been doing loads of research online, but just trying to put it all into practice now, so any tips or advice is always appreciated.
At the moment, I am just working with a small part of my library until I do get my head around things before moving onto the bulk of my images. I have my images stored and backed up on multiple external hard drives. I am trying to import my images into aperture from an external drive as I have been slack over the years with keywording, metadata, organising, etc etc, so I figure from what I have read that aperture may assist me with making these time consuming tasks a bit quicker and easier.
I have put a bit of thought into my filing structure, but I am sure that with further use and understanding, this may change in the future, but I hope not. To give you an example of how I am thinking and working - I have used folders for my regular clients, eg, Ray White, and then made another level of folders within 'Ray White' for the date, and then in each 'date folder' I place my projects and name them with the address of the property I have photographed. I select and edit images from each project and place them in albums under each project. Not sure if this is the most perfect structure, but any advice is welcome.
Keywords is always an issue with me. Over the years I have compiled a number of list for each client and each 'type' of photography. For example, real estate images have there own list, I just simply manually add keywords for specific jobs, eg the address and any specific location or features.
Again, advice and guidance always welcome and I would appreciate how you go about these topics? And maybe you can help explain something that I have pre-emted may be a problem, and it may happen when I move onto my larger library, and I am not sure how to explain this as it may show my lack of management previously. When I worked on my PC, I used PS4, Adobe Bridge and Camera RAW pretty much exclusively. For my landscape images for example, I might have 2 or 3 variations of the one images, eg, black and white, sepia, and color for instance. But the file name remained the same, I just stored them in different folders indicating what version of the image was stored there. Now I am thinking that when I import images in Aperture, I will come across difficulties because Aperture will think the I am importing duplicate images because I will in fact have 3 images with the same file name, even though the adjustments I have made to them are different. Is this the case? Will I have to make adjustments again? Will I have to change the name of the files prior to importing? If so, any advice or tips?
Well, I should stop there. Im sorry to bombard you with some much text, but as mentioned, I am new, and finding my feet, so thanks for your time.

How do I use the remote wipe feature for file vault 2 / lion?

I tried to find a preference panel. I know that for the ios you have to link/setup your device. I tried the find my iphone web site to see if my computer was listed there and it isn't at the moment. Is this new lion feature only available later with icloud? I checked the lion feature page and it lists it with file vault 2 with no asterisk so my guess is it should already now work.
It would be a pity to think you've setup your computer to find out that you hadn't "activated" your computer/laptop
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm out of the country on business but probably the only way to figure this out is to call apple or drop by their retail stores. If no one figures this out (and I'm pretty sure there is nothing to figure out at this time). I'll try to call apple when I'm back in august.
I find it wrong that apple touts this as a feature with no disclaimer. I'm a loyal mac fan for twenty years so I'll continue to buy their prodcuts and I did buy lion the day it came out. BUT a disclaimer (as they have done in the past) would have been nice. I know of at least two mac users who usually don't buy new OS's until they get it with their new laptops that specifically bought lion for this feature since they had read about it in a newspaper article.
I also thought this was one of the more useful features in lion since my family already "lost" an iPad and we liked to delete our data after our alarm and message didn't work for a day.
I'm sure apple has it's reasons for not offering the feature just yet but in that case a disclaimer is a must. I would probably drop the reference remote wipe until I have the infrastructure in place.
Cheers,
Phillyman

How to search for file within compressed file

I hope i can explain this correctly, I apologize in advance.
What is the command to search for a file that may/may not exist within another compressed file?
Situation is that I have a cron job that compresses the files in a folder on a scheduled date. I now need to search for a file that may exists in one of the several compressed files, which was a result of the cron job.
Thanks in advance

There's an open source utility called zgrep. You can probably get it from http://www.sunfreeware.com/ .

How to set default permissions for files and folders

We have mac and windows computers on a network where we use Mac OSX Server 10.4 to share files. When files are created on windows computer, no problem, all users can read/write these files. However on our 2 macs (1 10.3 and 1 10.4), other users are blocked from using the files, only the owner has "read/write", group and others are "read only". As far as I can tell, file sharing is turned on ok in Workgroup Manager for the folders we share files from. How can we establish sharing for all users on our network?

Niel's suggestion is good. You might also try posting your question in the Tiger Server forums. I'm sure Tiger Server has several ways of dealing with this.

Searching files within folders

Hi,
lets say i have a directory in finder for example mac os>music>r&b albums>2008
if i am in the r&b albums directory, if i type 'usher' in the top right search box, surely it would make sense to only search the directory i am in (r&b albums) and any sub directories within that (2008 folder for example), like windows explorer does? why does it do a system wide search? i can do that in spotlight if i wanted to.
I only want to find the results in that folder and any sub folders contained within it. basically whatever folder i am in, i want that to be the ceiling folder, i dont want the search results to go beyond that. is this possible?
bascially i want it to do the search like windows explorer does. and the first person that tells me that this is how macs work and if i dont like it go back to windows is gonna get a virtual punch in the face!
thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not sure I'm following you. Here is the results of selecting the Music folder in a Finder window. The second screenshot is the result of typing one letter in the search field of the first window. The thing I've done to produce the different screen is type "e" in the search field. I did not go back and highlight Music. You will note that the music folder in what is being searched.
Maybe you can give a step by step of what your doing and what view option are you using.

"Application can't be found" error for files and folders

This has become mind boggling for me.
Starting last week, files I've created (namely in either Adobe Photoshop CS5 or Illustrator CS5) have started giving me "Application can't be found" errors when trying to open them. They show up when I use spotlight to search for the file, but they don't show up in Finder and can't be found when trying to browse for them via the apps used to create them.
Now I can't open a particular folder either (same symptoms and errors as above), which should have nothing to do with any applications.
Have rebooted numerous times and am up to date on all firmware. I know these files exist and did work at one point because I uploaded them to be printed last week with no issues. But sometime between now and then (and I haven't touched them since) they decided to stop working. Please help!

I am annoyed by, I think, the same problem. I would like to drag Pages files directly to the finder in the dock, but now with Mavericks I can not do this. It is bothersome to have to click on the finder to open it up when I did not have to do that with the old operating system. I hope someone can help us both out.
I also hope that in the next update Apple addresses the concerns many are having with the newest version of Pages. Until something is changed, I am sticking with old Pages because I find it to be a much better program to use.
