Show File Size Column in Smart Folder

Any way to show the file size column in a smart folder? I'd like to be able to sort the search results by size.

That's pretty frustrating. I'd like to be able to view the Folder name in a Smart Folder but it doesn't seem like that's possible either. I just created a Smart Folder to show all my TGB projects. Unfortunately, I have 12 items all named project.t2dproj so I have to click each file and look at the path to know what it is. Not very helpful for my usage.

Can I add/show a size column for smart folders?

I've created a set of smart folders to filter the files on my system by size (e.g. <10megs, 10-499megs, 500-999megs and >1Gig.
What I'd like to do is sort the files by size, so having the folder show a size column would be great... however it doesn't seem to be possible (or the how is not publicized). It just shows name, kind and last opened. If I change the view to ICON, I can get the size for some files, but others, like movies or music, show their duration, not size.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Gary

If you want to report this to Apple, send a bug report (or enhancement request) via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since 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 or ER ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

File Size on Bottom of folder

I love my Macs, but the one thing I miss from the PC side is clicking on a file and having the size of that file show on the bottom of my folders.
On my PC there is a "Statis Bar" option, so it shows the information of what is in that folder. So if I had one file highlighted, it would show 1 file - Size 1.3 mb or if I had 4 files highlighted, it would say whatever the total of all 4 files - Size 6.6 mb or what ever it is.
On the Mac side, I have never found that. I have to Opt-Mouse click properties and then read the size. Is there something that is close or the same to the pc?

Have you tried putting the Finder View in Columns? Go to the View menu, select Columns, and also check the Show View Options and make sure the Preview column is checked on. When you click on a file you will see a lot of extra stuff, not only the file's size but thumbnails for graphics, the first few lines in many kinds of text files in their thumbnails, and the ability to play music files and movies right there. If you prefer List View, again go to Show View Options and make sure that Size is one of the columns that is displayed. You can even check a box to have all sizes calculated, so the size of folders will also appear. If you click the Size column you can have the list arranged be size, click again to reverse the order.
As for the aggregate size of several items: for that you need to bring up Inspector--Command-Option-i. You can just leave it up, the content will change constantly as you select different items. The Preview section will give you nice BIG icon previews, and includes the ability to play music and watch a thumbnail of movies. You can navigate from item to item using the arrow keys on the keyboard.

How do I show file size in the Finder icon view for images?

How can I add the file size to the icon view "File Info" for images?
I know how to get it to display the image size under View Options. In this mode it shows pixel dimensions for some images (not for svg or pdfs tho) and file size for some non-images (rar, zip, but not txt or plain text files).
Is there some plist I can modify?

Just found the answer in a post with this subject:

Can't download files, shows file size is "-1bytes"

Hello, recently when I try to download files they do not start up immediately like they used to, and when they do it shows the file size of the file is "-1bytes". But, when I use a download manager to download it, it downloads just fine.
This isn't just 1 website in particular it happens for all the websites. I tried uninstalling FireFox, and installing it again and I still can't download anything.
Example:
[http://i44.tinypic.com/6nqjbd.png ScreenShot] of the download, when I try to download FireFox.

That may be a bug. Firefox shows a size of -1 if the size is unknown instead of suppressing the file size.<br />
You can ignore that if the file down;loads fine.

Huge file size while using smart objects?

I'm laying out some big panels containing smaller images, so I am adding these using 'File>Place'. However, while the empty panel takes up about 70 MB, placing 3MB worth of smaller images makes the file size explode to a whopping 150MB, making it impossible to fill up the entire board. So far, I've seen file sizes of 500 MB, with Photoshop eating up 50GB swap files. Any idea what is going on here?
(I'm using Photoshop CS4 on OS X 10.7.3)

If you are familiar with Indesign and Illustrators and how they handle placed images that can lead to expectations that are not met by Photoshop’s Smart Objects.
But the Smart Object-approach in Photoshop offers other advantages – there is no need to collect the linked images when handing on a file, because they are part of the document.

Show file size coming from UCM

I need to show the size of a file that comes from Oracle UCM and the file size should be shown in Kilobytes, the file size is in bytes so I've divided in 1024 for the number in kilobytes
I have the following source code and the continuous result being shown in bytes.
Please if you can give me your comments.
thank you very much
<c:set var="nodeArchivo" value="#{cmfn:getNodeById(cptutils.repository[node.propertyMap['BCCH_PUBLICACION_RD:ARCHIVO'].value.stringValue])}"/>
<c:set var="fileKB" value="#{nodeArchivo.propertyMap['VaultFileSize'].value}" />
<fmt:parseNumber var="fileKBTransf" type="number" value="${fileKB}" />
<fmt:parseNumber var="fileKBTransf" integerOnly="true" type="number" value="${fileKB/1024}" />
<af:outputText id="archDown" styleClass="pesoArchivo" value="#{fileKBTransf}"/>

Hi.
You are mixing '$' and '#' expressions that are evaluated in different phases of the lifecycle.
#{fileKBTransf} is evaluates before of the ${fileKB/1024}
Take care when mixing JSTL and ADF and $ and # expressions .
Anyway try to do it directly:
<af:outputText id="archDown" styleClass="pesoArchivo" value="#{cmfn:getNodeById(cptutils.repository[node.propertyMap['BCCH_PUBLICACION_RD:ARCHIVO'].value.stringValue]) div 1024}"/>
or
<af:outputText id="archDown" styleClass="pesoArchivo" value="#{cmfn:getNodeById(cptutils.repository[node.propertyMap['BCCH_PUBLICACION_RD:ARCHIVO'].value.stringValue]) / 1024}"/>
Regards.

Showing file size in LR3

hi, can anyone tell me if it's possible to show the MB file size of individual images whilst I am looking at images in Lightroom? thank you for your help.

Hi,
File size is not one of the options for the Loupe View Info panel. However, in Library Mode, you can vie wthe file size in Mb of each picture in the Metadata panel, as shown in this screen grab;

Show file size in Cell Extras? (Either Compact or Expanded, or anywhere in Grid for multiple images simultaneously)

I've searched and seen several suggestions saying to change Metadata to Exif & IPTC to see the file size, but that's for only one image at a time. Under Cell Extras (both Compact and Expanded) I see options for Megapixeps, Cropped Dimensions, File Name, Extention, and a bunch of other options, but no file size. I suspect this is because file size isn't a metadata field and simply a file attribute (that may be incorrect, but regardless...) is there really no way to have file size visible in the thumbnail cells in Grid view in the Library? I'm trying to reduce redundancy and viewing file size of multiple images at a glance based on my Library Filter criteria would be a huge help. Thanks to anyone who can help sort me out!

Sure. I have a catalog with 22,000 images indiscriminately imported from hundreds of folders and multiple drives from this year alone (partially lost a RAID array to a corrupt index and recovered a dump of the files so I'm terribly disorganized juggling emergency redundancy backups wherever I had 50 gigs here, 100 gigs there, and working to clean up and organize my photos one year at a time ), including raw, jpg, websized jpg, png, tiff and psd (flattened and with layers/adjustments) and am now trying to identify my keepers and delete unnecessary files. I have 22 terabytes of personal files and photography spread chaotically and while I now have proper discipline when saving variants, I didn't always and want to remove unneeded, rejected, and duplicate images. I don't expect to be caught up for months or longer depending on my free time and sanity. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as keep the raw delete the rest. Sometimes I have multiple PSD documents with different version names and edits, sometimes with multiple layers, and I have to use a variety of information to identify which one is indeed the correct one to keep...or open them all/both.
Often, file size can be an indicator for me and aids in making the decision more quickly. For instance between 2 psd files with the same Megapixles I'm often able to identify the flattened version vs the layers intact version by file size if it wasn't properly noted in the filename, which unfortunately due to a combination of bad or evolving practices and being tired or rushed happens more often than I'd like to admit. One I just came across that brought me here searching was 3 similarly named and appearing PSD files of a panorama, all with the same MP/dimensions. One was flattened, one was the original stitch, and one was flattened with a few masks, adjustments, and an extra layer, and being the one I'd want to keep. Filesize helped me quickly identify which was which. Also sometimes dimensions are misleading, like when a panorama is first created and uncropped, its dimensions are larger, but a tighter cropped image with multiple layers and a larger file size indicates to me that it is newer and more finished, even though smaller dimensions typically indicates a crop and may not be a 'master' copy. Additionally, 2 images with different names but the exact same file size are very likely duplicates (at least in my workflow) but 2 similarly looking images with the same dimensions could be retouched/not, sharpened/not, have noise reduction/not, and I'd have to view them in detail to determine if they were in fact identical. For my purposes (since these are my personal fine art images & I have the raw files incase I occasionally mess up) I'm often willing to trade an educated guess for my time. Seeing identical file sizes on 2 apparently similar images is good enough for me to delete one.
I can select them individually and check...it's not a horrific problem. But it would save me time so I was hoping I had simply missed how to view that. My reasoning is 'why not' have the option available with all the others? Me personally, I don't care about megapixels when I already have the dimensions, that's just redundant and honestly much less helpful than LxW. File size would be an additional tool I would use, though. There are other examples but the main thing is that I do spend time checking filesize, and specifically when comparing multiple images, so having it displayed in the cell would be a time saver for me.

Tv shows file size?

Im in uk, cant get them yet cant wait til we can, but was just wondering how big a typical file size is and how long it takes to downloa

Based on the 4 minute pixar movie I downloaded. That is 20mb. So I'd say 200-300mb depending on the exact length.
Don't remember how long the short took to donwload, I'd say several minutes. I seem to remember Steve Jobs saying it would take about the time of 5 albums in iTunes.

Gnome native dvd burner - show file sizes before a burn on dirs?

Is there a way to get a gnome-native dvd burning app to show the filesizes of user added folders before a burn? In other words:
Blank DVD
-Folder 1 (3.2 Gb)
-Folder 2 (0.4 Gb)
I have tried in both gnomebaker and brasero but can't do it. The only app that does is k3b and it requires tons of kde libs to run.

Hi, you can upload screenshots hear, limited to 2 NB I think, by using the little Camera icon in a reply.
Apple thinks we don't need to no anything & things should just work, of course they often don't & the lack of, or difficulty of finding useful info is no help... & it's getting worse.
Some things are easier on Macs, some on Windows.
I suspect you're copying from some iPhoto or fancier App's folder, which may contain icons & such of the real thing.
Might try Burn...
http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
Or the best Software deal on the Planet...
GraphicConverter has a powerful Browse Folder function, & many tools for manipulation, & you can keep your Pics wherever you want...

Folder problems on external drive, not showing correct file size

I've run across a strange problem. I'm media managing for a tv show, meaning I'm offloading video from CF cards onto 2 external drives, one is a Drobo Raid (set up for backup) and another is a Lacie rugged drive. After copying the media to both drives, the folder I copy will match, but sometimes as I drill upward in my folder structure, suddenly the file sizes will not match. To be more clear: 2 folders will show differing file sizes, but inside that folder is only another folder,nothing else, which matches across the drives. I've shown all files in finder and there's no hidden files, though sometimes I see the ds_store files are different sizes (8k vs 16k), but that's not always the case. Sometimes if I simply create a new folder and move it's contents into it I can get the folders to match, but sometimes that doesn't work. It's part of my workflow to show that these copies match exactly via screenshots, and although the most important folder (the direct folder holding the footage) always matches, these folder problems are super frustrating as it's not constant, and any workarounds also work inconsistantly.
I had an accidental disconnect of the Drobo one time, and although none of the data seems to have any problem, I fear it's done something to the directory. The rugged drive is swapped out every few days and the problem seems to be on the Drobo. Because the nature of the data is pretty important, I'm afraid to just try messing around with repairing or other software solutions unless I know it's super safe and won't harm the data.
I'm at a loss as to what's causing it and at the very least how to avoid it cropping up. Any help or insight would be appreciated!

I had the same problem with my iMac, first I repaired the disk, then I ejected the disk, restarted, and then reinserted the USB in a different port. All of my files magically showed up. I don't know what caused the error but it has been working fine since.

Smart folder can't show recent folder correctly

Hi all,
I would like to quickly view/select the recently opened folders in finder but I can't really find any efficient ways to do it.
Finder->Go->Recent folders does show what I need, but limited to 10, and it's not convenient to click.
I tried to setup smart folder with "show folder only" and use raw query "kMDItemLastUsedDate >= $time.today(-2)". I suppose this should be simple but it didn't work well.
My finder shows files in column view, and Finder->Go->Recent folders always reflect what it should be, but the smart folder method just won't give me the folder I navigated, but sometimes show up folder I didn't actually opened (perhaps by other program, but these won't appear in Finder->Go->Recent folders).
Any one has ideas on this?
I will be very grateful if anyone can help.
Jake
PS: Default folder X is good, but I don't usually work in the open-save dialog style when working with files. Also finder shows the recent folders by alphabetical order but not ordering by time, which is kind of annoying..

PDF file size increases several folds after OCR

Hello,
I've been using Acrobat Pro 9. Whenever I receive a scanned PDF from someone, I always try to OCR it. I thought this would reduce the file size because it's saved as text characters instead of images. However, the file size actually increases several folds. For example I just had a scanned PDF with original size of 3M, but after OCR (settings: searchable image, downsample to 300dpi), the file size is > 19M. This is a legal document with no pictures or diagrams. Even ClearScan gives a result of 15M file. Could you help explain why and how I can change this? Thank you.
Hung

I just did an OCR with Searchable Image (exact); and here are all results
Original: 3,046 KB
Searchable Image (300dpi): 19,408 KB
Searchable Image (Exact) (600dpi): 3,377 KB
ClearScan (300dpi): 14,813 KB
So in this example, Searchable Image (exact) only causes about 10% increase in size. I used Save As "PDF" (not "Reduced Size PDF" or "Optimized PDF"...). Does this make sense? Thank you.

How to show a downloads file size in the "Save As" dialog?

Hello,
I have been using Firefox off and on for the last year or so, and there's one thing that always gets me to stop using it, whenever I download a file I cant see the file size of it in the "Save As" dialog, Internet Explorer and Opera has this feature and it's one of the things that I really need, I have tried that extension that does this (I forget the name of it), but unfortunately it is not for Firefox 4 :(
Thanks you for your help :)
