Setting A Default Window View

10.4.8
Is there a way to set a default so that varied windows can automatically open in list view rather than icon view which is the way they are opening now? I have already gone through many windows and set them using the View Options command - but I would like a default to be set for all other Windows.

Open Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu. Search for "finder views." You'll find what you want in the list, "Changing how items are shown in Finder windows."

  • How do I set the default window size when I open a Numbers 3.0 document

    How do I set the default window size when I open a Numbers 3.0 document?
    When I open an existing document it always open too small, I resize it but next time I open it it's small again! Please help! I used to be able to resize them then they stayed that size until I resized it no matter how many times I opened and closed it before upgrading to 3.0!!!!

    This document can help you set the print settings for any type of printing. Not just for photos as the title suggests. You should not have to keep setting it every time.

  • Setting a default folder view for all folders in Windows 7

    How do you set up a default folder view of "List" for ALL the folders in Windows 7 including the optical drive?  
    Artoo

    I just installed windows 7. Are you seriously telling me that i now have all folders with mp3s in them AUTOMAGICALLY (THANKS FOR THE HANDY HELPING HAND THERE MICROSOFT!!!) set to some designers whim of what an mp3 folder "SHOULD" look like?
    Well i was going to write a big rant, and indeed did, but then i was doing some more research and it seems like i just made everyones day and solved the problem (partially). Or well THIS guy did:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16694/customize-the-five-windows-folder-templates/
    After you’ve clicked OK, visit some of the other folders in your file system.  You should see that most have taken on these new settings.
    What we’ve just done, in effect, is we have customized the General Items template.  This is one of five templates that Windows Explorer uses to display folder contents.  The five templates are called (in Windows 7):
    General Items
    Documents
    Pictures
    Music
    Videos
    When a folder is opened, Windows Explorer examines the contents to see if it can automatically determine which folder template to use to display the folder contents.  If it is not obvious that the folder contents falls into any of the last four templates,
    then Windows Explorer chooses the General Items template.  That’s why most of the folders in your file system are shown using the General Items
    template.
    Changing the Other Four Templates
    If you want to adjust the other four templates, the process is very similar to what we’ve just done.  If you wanted to change the “Music” template, for example, the steps would be as follows:
    Select a folder that contains music items
    Apply the existing Music template to the folder (even if it doesn’t look like you want it to)
    Customize the folder to your personal preferences
    Apply the new template to all “Music” folders
    A fifth step would be:  When you open a folder that contains music items but is not automatically displayed using the Music template, you manually select the Music template for that folder.
    Anyways, sorry that explanation doesnt do it justice. I have spent waaay too much time trying to figure this out already. Also that link doesnt say how to 1) copy templates (are they file or registry based?, didnt do research) 2) if you can distable templates
    or the automatic re-templating of folders.
    THAT is what i want to know! as it is much more maintance then its actually worth...
    but once i had set 5 default types to, the exact same thing... it now doesnt matter if it automagically switches it. SUCK IT MS AUTOTUNE!!!
    Its bloody hard to frame this question too. What can you say about this? "folder changes to mp3" "customize folder types windows 7" "windows 7 folder changes to mp3" "dont automatically change folders to mp3" "how
    to change mp3 details column for good" "automatically change column order win 7 mp3"
    The search that actually solved it:
    "do not apply default template to mp3 windows 7"
    good luck, this worked for me!
    EDIT: also i just noticed that neonr already answered this above. i just didnt read it carefully enough. anyways i guess i will leave this and mark his as answer.

  • How can I set a default window in MAIL (10.6.8) so that it's 27" wide?

    I don't recall this problem pre-OSX. Opening MAIL (in Snow Leopard) results in a window that completely fills my iMac's 27" monitor, almost 100% of the time – even though when exiting MAIL I have all windows to a manageable size.
    How can I limit MIAL to a default window sufficient to contain a "normal" e-message?

    Shrink the window to the size you want, quit mail (may not even have to do that), and then the window will be that size until you change it.  Similarly for new message windows.  Mail remembers (or should remember) the size you set its various windows to.
    Update:
    Hmm, you say you did that.  So what happens if you try this from another account?  Also, FWIW, the mail preferences are kept in com.apple.mail.plist.  If you are willing to potentially loose your mail settings and recreate them then you could try removing that and starting over.

  • Acrobat Ignore "Set as default PDF Viewer" Setting

    Hello,
    I see from previous posts that this has been an issue for a while. I have an image that contains Adobe Reader. That image is deployed to all users. Some users get Acrobat Pro. also. So I went thru the whole customization tool and selelcted "Make Acrobat the default PDF viewer" and am using the Setup.ini and .MST file. Everything else works - skips EULA, reads serial number - everything but making Acrobat Pro the default PDF reader. After I install it and launch it for the first time I am presented with the "make Acrobat reader your default PDF viewer" question. How can I set this once and for all and not prompt every single user?

    Unfortunately there is no option post installation with Acrobat 8 to change PDF ownership. However this is possbile Acrobat 10 onwards. But yYou can choose to make Reader XI the default PDF handler during installation itself.
    1. Go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs, select the entry "Adobe Reader XI" and Un-install.
    2. Then visit link : http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and choose the Reader which you need.
    3. When you double click the EXE, then a screen will come showing extraction of files. As soon as extraction ends, installation will begin and you will be presented with following screen :
    4. Uncheck the checkbox which says "Make Adobe Reader my default PDF viewer"
    Acrobat 8 will remain default PDF viewer on your machine.

  • When I try to set a default for viewing all folders using the view options, it fails to apply this view to all folders. What am I doing wrong?

    I open the 'view options', select the mode of viewing I want, click the 'always open in' and push the use as defaults button... this, by all accounts, should work to apply this mode of viewing to ALL my folders and subfolders... yet it does not.

    I've had to work on this a little before it "stuck" to my preference; it appears that if you open a folder within a folder and set the option, it will apply to that and any within that, but not up a level. So you need to make sure you have it set at the top folder level and you have it set like this:
    Also, if you have a folder in the dock, you will need to either control click it or - in my case I want column view - you need to Command click the folder and it'll open in column view. I've not liked this "feature" since it was changed in Snow Leopard; previously, you could just click on the folder and it would open the way you had it set.

  • Is there a way to set the default Initial View to Bookmarks Panel and Page on word documents that I save as PDF?

    When I save my word 2013 documents as Adobe PDF I have to open the PDF up, go to File>Properties>Initial View>Navigation Tab and then set the initial view as Bookmark Panel and Page; it gets pretty tedious.
    I use Save as Adobe PDF rather than Print to Adobe PDF Printer because I like being able to have the security settings automatically set.
    I just want to be able to save my word document as Adobe PDF with the initial view already set as Bookmark Panel and Page, and with security, so I can send it out immediately.
    Is this possible?
    Thank you.

  • Set custom default window size for opening Preview?

    I'm using a terminal-based text editor, and when I compile LaTeX files, I have a script to open the compiled pdf in Preview. The trouble is that Preview opens in the same default dimensions every time, which covers up other applications I have open.
    It's not a huge deal, but it would be nice to have Preview open flushed right and as half the width of the screen every time. Since I'm opening and closing it so often, moving it and resizing it every time gets really annoying.
    I realize this isn't a built-in option for Preview, but is there any way of doing it using Terminal or otherwise? I've googled around and haven't found any satisfactory answers yet.
    Thanks!

    Hi zazi,
    Each window opened takes the size of the previous window opened.
    Its possible to zoom in and out as well [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/font-size-and-zoom-increase-size-of-web-pages]
    Also see:

  • How do I set the default page view for all pages?

    I make my own ebooks in Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
    I would prefer to render pdfs and set every page in an ebook to the Fit Page Magnification setting.
    I can not figure out how to set all pages to this at one time. I have to edit each page individually.
    Does anyone know how to do this at one time?

    With the PDF open in Acrobat open the PDF's properties.
    Select the "Initial View" tab.
    Configure as desired.
    Be well...

  • How can I set the default window location in calendar to my second monitor?

    After installing Mavericks, Calendar always opens its windowed centered in my main monitor.  I move it to where I want it (upper left, second monitor) but when I quit the program, the location reverts to the original location.  Is there a .plist I need to edit?
    -Jeff

    The "quit calendar" fix does not endure after the next logout or restart.
    In System Preferences, in the Mission Control Pane, unchecking "Displays have separate spaces" causes the windowing behavior to revert to pre-Mavericks behavior.  Applications open in the previously used window.  Applications with windows on multiple monitors re-open with correctly located windows.  However, all the behavior reverts, so you can't run multiple full screen applications on different monitors, nor is there a tool bar at the top of secondary monitors.

  • How do I set the default pdf viewer?

    My Adobe Acrobat Pro trial ended, I actually uninstalled the program, but now when I go to websites with pdfs, Firefox (or something!) tells me I need to open Adobe and accept the user blah blah... I tried having Acrobat Reader open (which is still on my computer) when I opened the webpage - still doesn't work.

  • Default List View

    Hi,
    Is there anyway to set the default window view to "List View" for all of my windows? I read through previous posts and this question came up a few times, but noone seems to offer a reasonable solution. I can't imagine that this is impossible as it seems so basic. Has anyone tackled this before or have any ideas on how to do it?
    Thanks much
    Jason

    Well I dont think it is... ive been looking for that since 10.3 and still havent found it
    The closest thing is to disable "open new window in column view" and then jsut as you work change everything to list view and close the window... eventually youll get everything haha.

  • How do I change my default pdf viewer back to preview?

    When I installed Adobe CS onto my computer I set the default pdf viewer to be Adobe Acrobat. Id like to change it back to using preview since it opens much quicker but I cant seem to find where to change the setting. Can someone help?

    Via the Finder select a PDF document and use Get Info for the file.
    At Open With, select the Preview application via the pop-up window.
    Select Change All below "Use this application to open all documents like this".
