Setting a default view

I've noticed of late that the folders on our server (Samba) open in all sorts of states. Some are showing as 'View by Date', some as 'View By Name' and here and there I find folders expanded to show their contents. This is very frustrating and untidy.
I don't not know if it is a Samba preference or OSX pref but is there a ways to standardize it all so that all the folders open in one view with no folders expanded?
Thanks
Sean

Using View Options (which is what you get by pressing Command-J while viewing a Finder window) you can create a preferred group of settings and set that as Default. However, this will only be applied to newly-created folders, not to already existing ones.
The view mode (as Icons, as List, etc.) is somewhat loose - changing the mode on one folder will affect those folders inside that folder, and on the Desktop will often affect adjacent folders.
You can 'lock' any folder's view so that it won't change. With the folder's window open, open View Options (Command-J). Change the view to the one you want, then look to the top of the View Optins widow - there should be a checkbox there to set "Always open in Icon view" (or List view, etc., whatever it is set to). Checking that box will prevent casual changes to the view mode.
Note - with View Options, you do not have to keep opening folders and pressing Command-J for each one. Leave the View Options window open to the side, and open each successive folder you want to change. As you open/close or move from folder to folder, the View Options settiings will change to reflect those for the active window.

"I would like to know how to set the default view for the columns that are shown in iTunes.

From the iTunes menu bar try View>Show View Options. Make sure what you want to see is checked and what you don't is unchecked. You can do this (may need to do this) for any playlists, your main Library, etc.
Good luck

In mini bridge how do I set the default view to the filmstrip?

Hello,
In mini bridge how do I set the default view to the filmstrip?
Thank you.

Mark, there's a very basic .NET method on every nullable object:
GetValueOrDefault
EDIT: Now I see...please avoid duplicating
questions...
To be clear:
Put GetValueOrDefault on every nullable field used inside your 'TotalDue_Compute' sub
You don't need to define 'TotalDue' as Nullable anymore

Is there a way to set the default view for the App Store to only show Apps for iPads when the Store is launched?

I'm a new iPad owner and would like to set the default view for myself to show only Apps for the iPad when I launch the the App Store app. Showing apps for iPhone seems a waste of real estate for me and time spent searching for a particular app since I do not own an iPhone.
Thanks for any assist. :-)

How to configure and set a default view for contents of a data set

Here is my scenario:
I have a document library where each item is a "Plan". "Plan" is of a custom content type that inherits from a Document Set content type but has some additional attributes such as Plan Type. Inside each Plan, each item is
a Plan Document which is of custom content type Plan Document which inherits from Document content type but has some additional attributes e.g. Document Status.
So the hierarchy is:
All Plans (document library)
Plan 1 (custom content type that inherits from Document Set but also has a "Plan Type" attribute)
Plan Document (custom content type that inherits from Document but also has a "Document Status" attribute
When I click on the document library, I want to see all the folders (e.g. Plan 1) where one of the columns will be "Plan Type"
When I click on an individual Plan (e.g. Plan 1) I want to see the contents of that custom document set. At this point, since this page shows contents of one document set, I want to see the column "Document Status" but NOT Plan Type since
Plan Type applies to the document set as a whole, not to an individual item in that document set.
However, I don't think I have it set up correctly because right now the "Plan Type" column is visible both on the list of all document sets AND on the page that shows the contents of one document set.
I've found a discussion on this topic here:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/61565/how-can-i-set-a-custom-default-view-for-a-document-set
where one person said "When you click on a Document Set content type in library settings, one of the options is "Document Set settings". The last option in this dialogue allows you to select a defined view on the library that will be used
to show the contents of that Document Set." I don't see that view selection. The last item on the document set settings page is "Update List and Site Content Types". The field before that is for customizing the Welcome page.
However, I don't want to customize the Welcome Page as a whole, I just want to customize the columns that are displayed on the list of content of this document set.
thanks

I finally found the answer:
At the document library level, create a new view to use when displaying the files in the document set
Go to the document library settings
Select your custom content type (in my case it was "Plan")
In the next screen select Document Set settings
Select your newly created view at the Welcome Page View section
Press Ok
Now the default All Documents view will be shown when displaying all the document sets and the newly created view will be displayed when viewing one document set with the files within.

Is this possible with VSM7.6 ?

Acrobat Standard 6.0 Set as Default Viewer, but Browser is looking for Adobe Reader 8 or 9

All,
I use Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.0 for viewing and creating PDF's. Just a couple of days ago, I tried opening a patent document I found on Google. The browser displayed the following error:
"The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again."
So I looked for an update for Adobe Reader and downloaded Adobe Reader 9.1.2.
The next PDF document that I opened came up in Adobe Reader....NOT Adobe Acrobat. The installation must have changed the default viewer. So I right-clicked on the PDF file icon and selected OPEN WITH Adobe Acrobat. I clicked the checkbox to "Always open with this program..." This seems to have fixed the default viewer problem, as PDF files now open with Adobe Acrobat Standard...just the way I want things to work.
I still have the problem of not being able to open many documents within a browser...I think because the browser is looking to open the PDF files in Adobe Reader 9.1.2, NOT Acrobat 6.0. But Adobe Acrobat is now the default viewer.
Does Acrobat function independently of Reader? Or is Reader a module that is required for Acrobat to function properly? Whatever the case may be, can somebody suggest a fix for this problem?
Thanks,
Neal

They do not require each other for running as mentioned. There are some modules in common and that is where you run into problems. There are issues with the parts that remain resident also. I would suggest you follow the other advice you have been given. Unfortunately, there are some PDFs that may not open correctly in AA6. You may have run into some of those.

How do you set the default view of a PDF portfolio to be the Files mode?

I can set my personal view of portfolios to that, but if another user opens it, it shows the preview mode. It needs to be accessible, and I read Files mode is the only way. We want to load a PDF portfolio onto our internet for anyone to view, but it needs to open in the Files mode. Thanks

I have done this.
Have a hidden input field on form <input name="ZoneExpiry" id="ExpiryDate" />
Then have a function as follows:
var dat=new Date();
                                                  dat.setDate(dat.getDate() + 365);
                                                  var monthname=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun", "Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
                                                  var pretty = dat.getDate() + "-" + monthname[dat.getMonth()] + "-" + dat.getFullYear();
                                                  jQuery("#ExpiryDate").val(pretty);
Hope this helps.

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.

How do I set my default Shockwave Flash object viewer to Firefox 4 RC?

In the previous version of Firefox, I set it as my default Shockwave Flash viewer (these were offline objects) by selection the application in my program files.
When I upgraded to FF 4 RC, I was no longer able to view these files, nor was I able to find the application to default to (it was no longer in program files).
I tried setting the default viewer to the FF application located in Local Roaming but it won't appear in either the 'recommended' or 'other' when selected.
I can however still view these SWFs by clicking and dragging them onto the FF window. This isn't a major issue but I'd like to know if and how this can be fixed.
Thanks

# Open Windows Explorer.
# Right-click a Shockwave Flash file (.SWF) and select '''Open with''' then '''Choose default program...'''
# Click the '''Browse''' button in the lower right corner of the window and choose the Firefox executable. If you've installed Firefox in the default location, its path is ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe''

iTunes 10.3.1
inverted-store-links
if i use the »inverted-store-links« i always get the list-view instead the before used album-list.
i think the same problem with playlists always shown in list-view by default.
maybe there is a function at com.apple.itunes.plsit to set the default view.
any other ideas are welcome.
thanks
chris

This application will allow you to invoke hidden iTunes preferences:
Show "Library" playlist
Changing view setting is global
Allow half-stars in ratings
Hide "Ping" buttons
Show/hide arrow links -- to either search the iTunes Store or search your library
Load complete iTunes Store preview before playing
Create playlists for purchased song collections
