Show Size of FOLDER in Finder List

Leopard OS X 10.5.4, nor previous editions, doesn't show folder size in Finder list. Only method to get size is right click and then "get Info". Is there any way to show sizes of folders as a list? Note, individual file sizes are listed, but not folders containing several files.

enter command+j and check the box "calculate all sizes"

If I open a folder in Finder list it hides the original list. How do I fix this?

If I open a drive in the Finder and (using the triangles) I can show folders, subfolders and files.
Business as usual.
But in Mavericks, if I open a folder from that list, it hides the list that I opened it from.
I used to be able to open a folder and have the original folders and files still there.
And the opened folder.
Now the original disappears and I have to press "back,"
I want both items open, like in 10.6
Does anyone know how to fix this?

This is the resume feature of Lion. The last state of the application is saved when quitting (i.e last pictures viewed in Preview, last videos viewed in Quicktime etc).
You can switch it off for Preview by copy and pasting the following in to the terminal application
defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false

Startup showing globe and folder with finder image????

Help! I don't have any idea why but whenever I turn my powerbook g4 tiger on, instead of seeing the white background with apple logo 1st, the screen shows gray background with globe image at the center.. then, it shows a folder icon (still at the center) with a question mark printed on it then the finder icon printed on it (like an animated image or something)... then it proceeds to the normal tiger starup screen...
...and then everytime i start up, the brightness is always 0 so the screen is black so id always have to press F2 a number of times...
what is going on here???

Hi, cannonball8.
1. re: Globe > Flashing Question Mark > Normal Startup
Your startup disk is set incorrectly. The globe indicates it is trying to startup from a network volume. Then it can't find the startup disk (Flashing question mark), then after searching all available volumes, it finds it and starts up.1.1. In System Preferences > Startup Disk, select the hard drive in your Mac on which Mac OS X is installed. That should correct the problem.
1.2. As a general check to assure none of the "usual troublemakers" are affecting your startup dik, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.2. re: Black screen. We need to know exactly what model Mac you have, e.g. PowerBook G4 15-inch.
3. These problems may be related to PRAM settings being lost. Depending on the specific Mac you have, and its age, this could be due to the need to replace the backup battery. The backup battery provides an infinitesimal amount of power to maintain the system settings saved in PRAM. To ascertain if your Mac has a backup battery, see "Macintosh Family: Batteries and Part Numbers, Part 2."
Radio Shack is usually the easiest place to find a replacement backup battery. Batteries Plus is another chain of stores that carry unusual batteries. You can also try searching PriceWatch using the part number as your search criteria to look for the battery online.
Good luck!

Show library folder in finder

how do i show the Library folder in Finder. where can i read about what the Library does and what it holds.

... where can i read about what the Library does and what it holds.
The Library in your home directory is usually where your preferences are stored (mostly in Preferences). This is generally also where other additional data programs create are save Application Support). There's many other folders too for Documents, Movies, personal preference panels, widgets, screen savers, and so on.
Note that there is another Library folder in the boot directory with similar goals but that is for system wide data as opposed to the one in your home directory which is specific to your account only.
There's also a third Library I won't discuss that belongs to the OS.

How to show the checked-out symbol in list of files in a folder

Hi,
When the folder is selected it is showing all the files in that folder. But, the user would not know which file had been checked out. In general it should show the lock symbol (As similar to Documentum, webtop) when a file had been checked out by some other user.
How to show the lock/key column in list of files. Any other way to find a file had been checked out or not instead of going into the content information.
Also, how do we add additional columns like author etc... to the list of files screen in UCM?
Please help

You should double check, but I don't believe that the check-out info is in the resultset. Because that information isn't available, the state of each row in the search results table cannot be defined. So, the first hurdle would be to add that info to the dataset.
The second hurdle would be to alter the UI to leverage that info (e.g., the key icon when checked out).
If you're looking to alter the folder views, then look to the COLLECTION_DISPLAY service & related template. Other views (e.g., search results) have different templates and backing services.

Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo. It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date. How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

In finder (list view) rescrolling to top when dropdowns folder contents. Bug?

I'm opening some folder in finder. Finder view is set to list view. List must be bigger than the view height. I'm scrolling down, then i click right arrow near some folder to dropdowns its contents. Its contents appear correctly but my list scrolls to top automaticaly after i clicked right arrow near folder.
Is this a bug? What can you say about this?

I'm frustrated with this same problem. In my case this happens only in my 10.5 macbook air and not in my 10.4 macbook pro. I've been renaming files in the same way in 10.2/10.3 and this never happened. Should be a bug. I've been searching for this issue and found this post at last - I really wonder why there aren't so many people mentioning this.

Smart Folder in Finder displays incorrect list when using "File label" option.

Hello.
I created a Smart Folder in Finder, to display all files that have any color (label).
But have a problem just with one file, and although it has no Label, it keeps displaying that file.
Just to let you know:
1) File is not in Trash or hidden.
2) Checked several times the "information" of the file. Assign any color, then removed it.
3) File is synched with Dropbox v2.0.5
4) File is a Microsoft Excel and been working with it for a while with Office for Mac.
OS X 10.8.3

I'm having this problem, too. It with even show files with other color tags when filtering by another color. I tried changing the file color then changing it back to blank and it disappears temporarily, but if you view another folder and then come back the file pops back.

Where are the Finder list view folder expand arrows

How do I do the same thing in Lion equivalent to the Finder List View folder expansion arrows? They're gone in the Application folder!

Check the following:
1. Go to Application folder (or any other folder with similar behavior)
2. Chose "View" --> "Arrange by" --> "None"
Guess this was it!
Best!

I don't know what that size column shows for folders, but it's certainly not the size of the contents of the folder. How can I display this list, but with the sizes of the entire contents of each folder, including all of its subfolders?
Basically, I need the Terminal equivalent of opening my Home folder in Finder, Clicking Show View Options, clicking Calculate All Sizes, and then sorting the Size column descending.
Thanks for any help you can give!

How do you make all your icons on desktop and elsewhere show size etc?

Hi,
I can't remember how to show my disk size or how many items are in a folder. I have this feeling it's to do with Finder Preferences. You know how you have your hard drive listed and it will say 60GB in size or a folder in finder will say 14 items.

Malcolm,
Thanks, that's the tip I was trying to remember.
