Set "View Options" for all future playlists

Is there a way to set the "View Options" so that they will automatically be the standard way I like them each time I create a playlist?

A new playlist takes its view from Library - Music.
Set that how you want and when you create a new playlist, it will have the same columns and column widths

How do I set view options for all playlists at once?

Hello,
I want to able to set the view options for all my playlists at once (to include BPM, category etc). Currently you can only do this individually for each playlist.
Surely there is an easier way?

Now I have some questions:
1. Is there a way of selecting multiple playlist in iTunes? And if yes, can I then change the view options for all selected playlists? How does this work?
2. Is there any other way to apply view option settings to multiple playlist?
1 - No
2 - Using iTunes, no.
However this script will do what you want .

How can I change view options for ALL playlists?

How can I change view options for ALL playlists? With one single click or trick?
I have a lot playlists and don't want to change every single one of them separatly.
Thanks for your help. (I use Windows 7)

There's no FAST way I know of, which is what I think you mean.
Only the painful SLOW way of one-by-one.
You could make a new playlist from the main library after you've set the columns up as you like.
Go to an existing playlist that doesn't have the columns you want, and select all.
RIght-click > Add to Playlist and send them to the new playlist.
That's still one-by-one and only works with static playlists, not smart ones.

Finder View Options, For All Sub Folders

If I understand how View Options work in Finder windows ...
I can set View Options for a particular folder to always open up in a particular View Options setting.
I can set that very same View Option as the Default View Option for all the rest of the folders I open up.
But, what I would like to do is set the View Options for a folder and all it's sub folders to be the same. Without changing the default View Option for the rest of the folder I open up.
For example.
I like to have my Documents open up in List View.
I like to have my Photos open up in Icon View. (along with certain Icon View Option settings)
Is there a way to do this?
Can I set the directory and all sub folders/directories for all my photos to open up the way I would like them? Without having to change the way all my Document folders/directories open up?
Because the way it seems to work now, is that every time I create a new folder in my Photos directory/folder, I have to manually set the View Options, since the default is List View and not Icon view. If I change the default to Icon View, then any new folder/directory in my Documents will then open up in Icon View.

If the folder is not set to open in a specific view, it should open in the same view as the containing folder. When using mixed views, you need to open the folder in another window to get the view it previously had.
In your example, setting Documents to always open in list view and Photos to always open in Icon view should have any new sub folders open in the same view. If any existing sub folders have a different view, you will need to manually change the view, since the Finder will (usually) keep track of the view any particular folder has.

Changing View Options for ALL Playlists together

    This question has remained without simple answer in spite of being asked many times. I think that I have an answer, the procedure is the following:
(1) Open the "source" iTunes Library
(2) File/Library/Export Library…          Save the list of Playlists
(3) Close the "source iTunes Library
(4) Create a new "destination" iTunes folder
(5) Import one (or more) song from a CD
(6) Select Music on top of the LIBRARY window
(7) View/View Options…                               Set the View Options as desired
(8) File/Library/Import Library…          Import the list of Playlists saved in (2)
(9) Remove the auxiliary song(s) introduced in (5)
     In the "destination" iTunes folder, the View Options of ALL playlist are those set in (7), irrespective of what they were in the "source". This works using iTunes 10.5 on an Intel iMac runing OSX 10.6.8, and presumably also with other configurations.
Any simpler, faster, or less memory greedy solution?

I'm not sure about a PC, but with a Mac you hold down the Control key and click on the right-most column's title bar. A menu of columns shows up with your current columns having check marks beside them. Just check or un-check the ones you want. To resize a column, click on the thin vertical line that separates the columns' names. Your cursor should change to a two-way arrow when you move across the adjustment line - just like in a spread sheet. Just click on the line and drag its width to suit you.

How to set view options for whole subdirectory tree

In the "shw view options" menu of the Finder, i can set the "show icon preview" and the "icon size" for a single window.
I wold like to apply these options to all directories in a given directory sub-tree (but not to all directories).
Doing this manually would be really tedious, since there are a lot of directories in my subdirectory.
Does anyone have an idea, how to do that more automatically?
Best regards,
Gabriel.

At least the new short text is displayed on the ALV tree. I assume that you have to be very careful and scrupulous in choosing the correct data types for the method calls.

Can I Set View Prefs for ALL Windows?

Is there a way in Tiger to set preferences so that ALL Finder windows ALWAYS open to a chosen view? If I want to see all windows in List View, for example, whenever a window is opened or created so that I don't have to reset windows individually, can this be done?
G5 Dual 2.7 Mac OS X (10.4.9)
G5 Dual 2.7 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

That actually doesn't completely work. I have the same settings for my 10.4 Finder. I also have the highest level directory (ie: the boot drive) set to icon view with Brushed Metal and Sidebar turned off. However, all new folders created on the desktop always begin in Brushed Metal w/ Sidebar view. Also, folders that have been set with Brushed Metal/Sidebar turned off, open with it turned on when first navigated to via the Dock.
In other words, open place your boot drive in the Dock. Set it to icon view with Brushed Metal and set Finder to open folders in new windows. Create a folder at the highest level of the drive. Open it to confirm it has taken the parent folder settings (in this case icon view, with Brushed Metal/Sidebar off). Close the window. Now open it via pop up menu from the drive icon in the Dock. Not only does it open in Brushed Metal Siderbar on view, but also at a different size, and sometime different Desktop location. Only when you manually turn off Brushed Metal at that point will the two versions of the open folder match when navigated to both ways.
This behavior drives me nuts, as I tend to stay in non-Brushed Metal view, in either list or icon. I have several drives, and bop between Dock pop-up navigation, and regular old double click drilling. I'm constantly having to manually set windows to non-Brushed metal view, even after they were created with it turned off. I wish this inconsistency, and the fact that all new folders created at the Desktop begin with Brushed Metal on, were controllable system wide. However, it's been this way in OSX since as early as I can remember. So I doubt it'll ever be addressed.

How can I set a default view option for all finder windows in Lion?

I am talking about the icon size and grid spacing.

Open up a Finder window, CMD+J, set it up as desired, and click on Use as Defaults. Do note that will only apply to windows that you've not opened before. If you want to apply that to all previously opened windows, you need to remove all the .DS_Store files which store that data for each previously opened folder. To do that, launch the Terminal app (in /Applications/Utilities/), copy & paste this command into the window that pops up, and hit the return key:
sudo find / -name ".DS_Store" -exec rm {} \;
At the Password: prompt, carefully enter your admin password, since nothing shows up on the screen, and hit the return key. When the default prompt, usually the $ sign, pops up, quit the Terminal app, restart, and open a Finder window, set it up the way you want, and click on Use as Defaults. All subsequently opened or created folders should retain that view.

Same (global) view settings for all EXISTING playlists (iTunes 10.3)

I guess some folks like to individually configure the columns of each and every of their playlists. But I like uniformity ... How can I apply global settings to all of my MANY existing playlists, like, let's say, Coverflow plus a certain selection of non-default columns.

Maybe I should add that I do know global view settings are NOT a feature of iTunes 10.3. So it's not a matter of "where is the button I have to click".
I also know that Apple Scripts exist as workarounds, but unfortunately I'm using Windows XP.
Therefore, it's a question for the real experts amongst you, as some serious iTunes-tweaking is involved, either in Windows Registry, or in some hidden config-file.
The most important question, though, is: why on earth are global view settings not a natural part of iTunes since Day One.

ITunes Show View Options - Display an option for all playlists in one go??

Hi there
Ive got about 200 playlists and need to show the same option for each (BPM).
How can I tell iTunes to display the BPM in ALL playlists in one go?
I can't manually select it from
View
Show View Options
Tick BPM
Close Show View Options
on all 200 playlists, it would take far too long.
Any help?
Thanks

iTunes does not provide a way to do that. When a playlist is first created, it inherits the "View" from how the Music library is set at that point in time. From then on, changes to its View settings are independent of all other playlists.
There may be a script somewhere that helps. Otherwise you have to do them one at a time.
It can however, be done with fewer clicks than you state. Right-click any column header (preferably the one to the left of where you want BPM to show) and click the item "Beats Per Minute."

Any way to set the Finder "Show View Options" across all folders on MacBook Pro?

Hello. I would like to know if there's a way to set one Finder / folder view setup (Show View Options) across every folder and sub-folder on OSX?
I don't like having to manually set up the "view options" for each and every folder from scratch .. I have 1 setup / template that I like and would like to apply it across the board to every folder that I ever open on OSX..
Is this possible?

At the bottom of the window that opens in Show View Options there should be a button that enables you to make the current settings the default.

Change view options for only one window

Usually I prefer to view my windows as icons, but I like certain specific windows to show up in list mode. On 10.4, in the View Options, there was an option for "This window only" but that seems to be missing in 10.5. Am I just blind???

I agree. i enjoyed that feature in 10.4. It drives me nuts that if I want to change the view options for one folder because of the way I want to view its specific contents, the rest of folders on my system changes at the same time. I would appreciate it if each folder had a "memory" of its own view option settings.
However, I acknowledge that sometimes you would want to change a setting that affect all windows. But it shouldn't overwrite the remainder of the settings. If, for example, you wanted to change the text size of every icon in every window, but leave everything else as set in each individual folder, there should be an option for this!

Some questions about view options for single folders

hi,
I'm trying to customize the finder a little, but I'm running into some troubles. It seems that finder is not capable of saving view options for single folders, is it? What I mean is: For example I want my standard view to be "column view, sorted by name". But one specific folder I want to open in "list view, sorted by date modified". I can't get finder to do it.
In View Options, there is a checkbox "Always open in XXX view". But it only seems to work if I cmd-click that folder so it opens in a new finder window, but not if I stay in the same window, which is really annoying.
With file-sorting, it seems as soon as I chose "sort files by date modified" finder does this for ALL folders, not only the one I'm currently in (regardless of whether I use View -> Arrange By or View -> View Options -> Arrange By)
Ideas? I can't believe that those basic features are actually lacking in finder.
thanks!

well, I think I see what the problem is.
I usually use column view. In column view it is enough to single-click on a folder to open it. When you do that, a new column with that folder opens. When I double-click on a folder on the other hand, it behaves the way I want it to be (opens in the view I set for it). So it seems like I will have double-click every folder in order to behave it the way I want (annoying as well, but I guess there is no other solution).
Btw, if I create a new folder on my desktop and change it's default view it works, because clicking on a folder on the desktop is pretty much the same as opening it in a new window.
Thanks for your help though. If you have any idea if you can make the folders behave the right way by single-clicking than please let me know
edit: ok, seems I was wrong. it worked for the desktop-folder, but doesn't seem to work for any other folder (it DOES work when cmd-double-clicking it though). strange.
