Show Item Info doesn't work for folders in Spotlight privacy list?

Hi. I have many images in many folders, and since upgrading to Leopard, none of them show the image dimensions when the "Show Item Info" is checked. As far as I can tell, the only thing difference about this group of files and folders is that it has been added to the privacy list in Spotlight, although, that was also the case under Tiger.

Interesting, I just checked this, since I have my Tiger drive in the Leopard privacy pane, and most of what is there is also on my Leopard drive. You are quite correct: image dimensions for items on the excluded drive don't show up in any Finder view, nor in GetInfo, while the same image on the Leopard drive displays the info just fine. It looks like Finder is taking the exclusion very very literally and not displaying metadata information for items in the excluded list.

Why is the "Show Item Info" feature not working on 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?

Under the Show View Options menu in Finder, I have repeatedly attempted to get the "Show Item Info" feature to work. Yet instead of the item info, it just adds some transparent spacing where the file info is supposed to be. The "Show Item Info feature is checked, so what's going on?

I was talking about the feature that displays how many files are in a folder and the dimensions of a picture.

Show view options/Show item info - only half working

Used to be that all my photos in a folder showed the dimension under the name. Now, even tho I do:
Show view options/ and check Show item info, only some of them have the dimensions. And what's really funny is that the portrait oriented pix have the dimensions, but the landscape oriented are missing the dimensions. What's going on here?

must've recently done something to the Landscape ones...
actually, the workflow I mentioned was applied to only one folder of pix, both port. and lands., but now, even other folders are affected, ones that I didn't run the workflow on. If I go to iPhoto, export some pix from last year to a folder (saved to anywhere), same results, port. have the dim.s below, landscapes do not.
And now for something completely diff... So I have a folder of pix on my desktop I just imported from iPhoto. I see dim.s under the port.s, none under the land.s. I open a lands. with preview. I rotate ccl, then clockwise (back to original orientation, right?), save, close preview. There it is in the folder WITH the dim.s under it. What kinda ghost have I got here?
Just to mention, I bought a Touch. It launches iPhoto when I attach it to my MBP (so it can sync the saved photos, only when I have some on the Touch). Don't know if that has anything to do with anything. Tx 4 th response, BD.

Country list dropdown search by first letter doesn't work for some countries in the list

Hi,
We have this issue with the country list search in Travel Request with the drop down list when user is trying to choose the country by entering the first letter say C for Canada (finds Canada in the list) it works for the countries from A to O and doesn't work from P to Z.
It is NW7.31 portal
What seems to be the problem ?

Hi Denis
Get them to take a look at this wiki page:
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/x/2oQCFQ
It lists the latest notes for your basis version and the notes are usually cumulative which means if you apply the latest notes, it will bring in the pre-requisites and earlier notes too.
Hope it helps you Denis.

HT1391 "File Get Info" doesn't work for all items in iTunes.

I have some iTunesU videos where the Get Info is grayed out (not available).How do I find out where these files are located on my system? (Mac OS X).
Thanks,
Chris.

Try to update iTunes.
Or - Remove iTunes from your system, download from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And install.
In simple words (reinstall iTunes)
i guess you have updated Yosemite not clean install.
Anyway, for me updates not worked 100% stable. i always do clean install and this is the best way to go, only problem is that there are no official way from apple to make a bootable drive - all the time this is big problem...

So, you're totally new to computers?
Go to the Help menu in Photoshop and select the System Info menu item. Copy all that information and paste all of it here MINUS your serial number.
Yes, Photoshop can delegate a lot of the computing tasks to the GPU on your graphics card. You may have to disable that feature in Photoshop Preferences > Performance.

[kde] "Only show tasks from the current desktop" doesn't work for max

Hi,
I have two monitor setup (laptop + main monitor) and I would love to use "Only show tasks from the current desktop" option in KDE Task Manager but for some strange reason it doesn't work for me. Well, it works but only partially - for restored/unmaximized windows. When I maximize one it appears on the Taskbar on both screens. Is this normal? May it be due to the fact that I've placed Taskbar on top of the screens?

Tested video cards for Photoshop CS6
Adobe tested the following video cards before the release of Photoshop CS6. This document lists the video card by series. The minimum amount of RAM supported on video cards for Photoshop CS6 is 256 MB. Photoshop 13.1 cannot display 3D features if you have less than 512 MB of VRAM on your video card.
Important: This document is updated as newly released cards are tested. However, Adobe cannot test all cards in a timely manner. If a video card is not listed here, but was released after May 2012, you can assume that the card will work with Photoshop CS6.
Adobe tested laptop and desktop versions of the following cards. Be sure to download the latest driver for your specific model. (Laptop and desktop versions have slightly different names.)

Show Item Info is not really showing info

Well, here is the problem:
On my desktop I like the icons to show item info. So, I check that option in view options. It works out well enough, but it does not show the amount of free space in my HD. On my MacBook I got it to work with one account, but not with the others. On my MacBook Pro it will not at all. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Joanthan

There seems to be two ways to fix the issue of not having the free space info displayed:
1. Turn off "Show item info" in the View Options
2. Repair permissions with Disk Utility
3. Restart
4. Turn on "Show item info" in the View Options
which didn't fix the problem in my case and:
"force the finder to update how many items you have in a folder [or volume] is to add a new empty folder in the folder showing the wrong items number . Go back and you will see the right numbers of elements/folders in that window [or display option].
Than you can delete the empty folder and the number will be the correct one. It should work for the size too."
which did fix the problem in my case.
Good luck.

PSPaletteMenu category doesn't work for automation plugins

Hello,
I would like to have a menu item under Photoshop "Window" menu for my automation plugin.
There is a notice in the PIPL.r file that goes with SDK:
// Use PSPaletteMenu category to add a menu item on the Window (i.e., palette) menu.
// This is currently only enabled for automation plugins.
PSPaletteMenu ="**Palette**";
However when write my PiPL res like in example below
resource 'PiPL' (ListenerResourceID, plugInName " PiPL", purgeable)
Kind { Actions },
Name { plugInName "..." },
Category { "**Palette**" }, // or Category { PSPaletteMenu }
Version { (latestActionsPlugInVersion << 16) | latestActionsPlugInSubVersion },
menu is not shown under Window menu :(
Want to note that if I specify Category { PSHelpMenu } it works correctly and menu item is shown under Help menu. PSPaletteMenu also doesn't work for Listener plugin that ships with PS SDK.
Looks like plugin is not recognized as automation plugin, but I have correct info.plist props (on MacOS X version)
What should be done to have my plugin menu item under "Window" menu?
Regards,
Mac Developer

Hi Tom, thanks for your reply. Actually I'm not asking about floating palette (which I actually created and there is no issues observed). I just need my automation (!) plugin entry point to be called with kPSDoIt ("Do It") selector action after menu item is chosen under Window menu. (like it works in case PSHelpMenu)
In the PIPL.r file that goes with SDK it states that
// Use PSPaletteMenu category to add a menu item on the Window (i.e., palette) menu.
// This is currently only enabled for automation plugins.
PSPaletteMenu ="**Palette**";
Is it documentation issue?

Desktop's item info doesn't sync

Hi all mac-users.
I have a slight problem with my MB, the HD's item info (the one shows how many free spaces and used spaces) doesn't seem to be correct. The problem is the HD's item info (size) can't be updated once i add or remove files from the HD. But when i turn it off and on again then the info of the size will be updated or when i tick off the box of "shows item info" and tick it again then the info will be correct otherwise it'd stay as it was turned on (e.g free 10Gb, erase 2Gb files, the info stays at 10Gb not 12Gb without doing those ticking off-on and turning on-off).
Has anyone ever had this kind of problem? and how did u guys solve it. thanks
(i had reset PRAM,repaired permission ,verified disk (no problems found) )

Yes i do that all the time but it still doesn't work. This is kinda weird problem, never heard of it before

Scope of Finder "show item info"

This is to document some apparently inconsistent behavior of the current Finder "show item info" view option: In Finder icon view, view->show view options->"show item info". The purpose is display additional information, including number of files in subfolders, pixel size of still photos, and running time of videos. It only applies to icon view, not list or column view, which is documented.
In "show item info" there is an additional button to "use as defaults". The scope of this option is apparently undocumented and inconsistent. You might expect it would apply from the current folder downward -- sometimes it does and sometimes not. On my 2013 iMac running 10.9.3, it seems to be more consistent on the system drive than an external HFS+. Namely on the internal drive applying it at the root level with "use as defaults" seems to propagate that option downward through the folder tree, but on the external drive (Thunderbolt Promise Pegasus R4 RAID 5) it is less consistent.
In general "show item info" is only fully reliable if invoked separately for each folder. If invoked at a higher folder level, subfolders may or may not display the additional information.
The behavior is not isolated to a single user but happens for any logged-in user on the same machine.
Show item info is probably disabled by default for performance reasons. Obtaining the additional info requires I/O. Once obtained it is apparently cached. There may be other optimizations such as don't enable on sub-folders with more than x files, but this is speculation. Regardless of the cause, the current behavior is inconsistent.
If you want to see the additional "show item info", be prepared to enable it individually for each folder.

Folder layout is stored in the hidden '.DS_Store' files within each folder.
I suspect a newly installed OS will have very few .DS_Store files with custom settings so the default can propagate to the child folders. Did you clean install any of these 10.9 systems (erase the disk before install)?
On your external I'd guess that you have been using it for years & have tweaked various views etc. Some folders will be custom, some may not.
To see how many you have you can either use an app like FindAnyFile http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/ to search, or use the find command in Terminal.
find -x / -name .DS_Store
FAF will need admin permission to show inside protected directories.
find will require a sudo to do the same e.g.
sudo find -x / -name .DS_Store
The -x will prevent find crossing onto any other disks (Time Machine disks can take eons to search).
Don't forget to use the /Volumes/VOLUME-NAME for the external disks, wrap it in quotes if you have spaces in the disk name. Drag & drop will auto fill the path with the correct escapes if you drop the disk into Terminal.
You may be tempted to just delete these files but there is additional metadata stored in these files. If you remove them you may lose Spotlight comments & possibly other metadata.
See the sources for links to better explanations…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.DS_Store
Also have a look at http://asepsis.binaryage.com/#about if you want to prevent or purge them.
I'm sure there are lots of ranty posts on here about how this is a lousy system, but it's all we have

Safari show all tabs doesn't work all the time

It is annoying: safari show all tabs doesn't work all the time. The little icon to the right of the "New Tab" area sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. The Shift Command Back-slash, sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. I find no rhyme nor reason for this. I have a MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion, the latest updates. It doesn't matter if I am in Full Screen or not.
I am quite confused regarding this.

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, empty the cache more often from your keyboard.
Command + Option + E

With my i phone 4 , the Push notifications doesn't work for apps like (fb viber , whatsapp etc ) it only works for the official apps like message even when im using the phone, has this probleme with the iOs 6.0.1 and also with the iOs 6.1

This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

Apache Sling JCR Resource Resolver doesn't work for the anchor tags which is been rendered through j

Certainly I realized that Apache Sling JCR Resource Resolver doesn't work for the anchor tags which is been rendered through jquery or javascript.
e.g.
In Felix Console , in Apache Sling JCR Resource Resolver configuration I have added following mapping.
/content/myproject/-/
So If any anchor tag is there like <a href="/content/myproject/en.html"> click me </a> then it will be mapped to "/en.html" automatically.
But the problem is there in following scenario.
I have an anchor tag as follows.
<a href="#" id="test"> click here </a>
And I am assigning the href to anchor through JQUERY.
<script>
$("#test").attr("href","/content/myproject/en.html");
</script>
Ideally this should have been mapped to "/en.html".
But it is not mapping to "/en.html". It still shows "/content/myproject/en.html".
How to resolve this.
Thanks,
Sai

In a servlet you have access to the resourceResolver so if you know which attributes contain links then it's relatively easy to apply resourceResolver.map to those links.
Your challenge is clearly how do you know which attributes are links and which aren't. Its is the same challenge that makes parsing the response and rewriting it on the way out difficult - the JSON doesn't have any semantic meaning so how do identify which attributes require rewriting. There really is no good answer ot that question in my experience - all the options have down sides.
Create some convention - all attributes matching this pattern X get mapped before being converted to JSON (could be attributes whose name ends in link, or it could a convention applied to the value of the attribute - if the attribute is a string that starts with /content apply the resource resolver mapping. In this case you have train your developers to follow this convention which is the down side.
Create some configurable list of attribute names that require mapping. This is brittle, requires training and is easy to break.
Implement a client side version of the resource resolver mapping. It wouldn't be as full proof as server side mapping (because that takes into account but you could make it work for simple logic like stripping of /content/site/en. If ou are just trying to solve the simple version of this issue - stripping off the top of the repository path this might be your best option.
Not worry about it and set up Apache 301 redirects that catch any long URLs and redirect them to short URLs (so configure apache to look for any URL matching /content/site/en and strip off /content/site/en and do a 301 redirect to the shortened URL. You end up with a lot of extra HTTP request because of all the 301s but it would work (I wouldn't recommend this option - but it is possible).
