Sort by Label in Lion

Not a big deal, but I noticed that in Leopard, when I had files in List view sorted by Label color, and then I changed the label color of one of the files, the file would then drop out of sight and i would remain in the same place in the window. In Lion, when I change the label color of one of the files, the window immediately scrolls down to keep the file in view, causing me to lose my place in the window. Is there a way to change this behavior?

I'm really looking for confirmation more than a fix at this point. Can anyone replicate this issue?
I'm currently using an Automator solution to open the folders automatically, so that the Finder will sort the labels correctly when users access them later. However this is not a quick task, and I'm hoping this problem gets addressed.

  • Sort By Label Doesn't Work

    The company I'm working for uses Finder Labels to organize a lot of their data. So they tend to keep their windows in list view, sorted by label. This worked out fine until the upgrade to Tiger. Now when they open folders on the server they have to click a few folders before the finder will sort them by label correctly. The fix only applies to that level though. If they twirl down one of the sub-folders, that folder is not sorted properly. Of course once they click on a few folders in that sub-folder, the Finder will eventually sort them correctly.
    I have reproduced this problem on machines running 10.4.3 and 10.4.5 accessing files on both Windows 2000 server and OS 10.4.3 Server. This problem only occurs when accessing folders over the network. It does not happen with local files. This problem is not reproducible on 10.3.9.
    Has anyone else seen this issue? Is this a bug, and if so, has it been reported?

  • Customize flag labels in Lion Mail?

    Is there a way to customize the names of labels in Lion mail, for example changing "Red" to "Urgent," etc.
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    -Robert

    Select an email and flag it with the color of your choice.
    Under the REMINDERS section in the left column, click on the FLAGGED.
    Double Click on the word "Red".
    Change to whatever you would like it to read.

  • Lightroom crashes when using sort by label

    Setup: LR Version 3.4, 64-bit, windows 7
    I recently started using the sort by label color option. Now when I change filters or change to a different folder, I get the error "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working", with options to Debug or Close program. It seems this only happens when I use sort by label color.
    Any ideas why/how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Hey Brett,
    Thank you for your quick respond
    Well, there was a message after it crashed asking me if I want to report or send an email, which I did. Then it says that Adobe is an able to know the problem. Maybe this is the message you are talking about.
    I have imported the same file from another source, and to a new catalog. same thing. In fact, I managed to apply both tools before it crashes, now every time I go to the same photo and just zoom in and out, it crashes.
    I then uninstalled 4.3 and downgraded to 4.2. It works fine with this version (even the same old file that caused everything) it is just really slow version. 4.1 (straight from the CD) was REALLY fast and with no issues.. or maybe I didn't get to push it to its limits. 4.3 is slower but crashes. 4.2 is very slow but never crashes.
    I'm saying that after uninstalling and reinstalling all these versions couple of times each.
    I was considering upgrading my OS to 10.8.3 (even though I really don't want to) just to see if I can run 4.3 properly. But then I read that 4.3 is widely problematic and that is why 4.4 is coming out so soon.
    What do you suggest? Should I stick with 4.2 for the time being? Just received a reply from another staff member saying that I should just wait for 4.4 Is there any time frame to the release?
    Sorry for making it this long..
    Much obliged

  • How do you make address labels in Lion?

    I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to make address labels or envelope labels from my address book?  I have done this before, but I recently upgraded my macbook pro to Lion, and now I can't figure it out!  I spent hours yesterday trying everything I could think of, but no luck.  I have tried using Pages, but still nothing!  Can anyone help me?

    Did you have an address list defined in your address book last year? If so, you should be able to access it in the new Address Book by clicking on "View" and "Groups" and then (hopefully) your previous list will be there. If it is, just select it and then go to Print. Under "Style" choose "Mailing Labels." Select Layout on the tab next to Labels, and then select the type of labels; then click Labels. Choose from the drop-down menu on the order --I think the default is postal code order. Choose whether or not to print the country. This should work!
    If you did not have a Group defined previously, you can go to File and New Group to create one.

  • Can't sort custom labels in Contacts

    It used to be that when you added a Custom Lable in Contacts in iOS, it would show a sorted list of the custom labels you already made for your contacts phone numbers etc. so you could see if you've already made a custom label to avoid duplication.  Now in iOS7, you can add a custom label but you have to scroll down the long list of already entered custom labels that seem to appear in no particular order.  It takes a long time if you already have quite a number of custom labels.  It used to be easy when they were sorted to scroll down to the labels in alphabetical order.  What happened to this feature?

    Custom Labels are not Alphabetical.
    Same problem with my os7 update, and This is a huge hassle, I re-use labels constantly as I travel for work and
    I have hundreds of labels in my contacts.
    This is a mess.
    The only Good thing I can say is that the 'new' custom label field is finally at the Top of the list of labels.
    It used to be at the bottom, meaning I had to scroll thru many many labels to add a new custom label.
    So they fixed the tiny little problem and gave us a Massive new problem.
    Appple, Please Fix This ASAP.

  • Can I print avery labels in Lion?

    I want to update my Avery ProDesign to Lion in order to broaden my label choices.  Does anyone have suggestions on where to find an update?  I have tried to download the free software and it gets stuck with the pinwheel.  It makes me think that DesignPro does not have an update available.

    If the software is PPC based then the answer is no. The easiest way to check is to open System Profiler (Applications - Utilities - System Profiler) then click Applications then look in the Kind column, if the app is PPC based then it will be noted as such. If the app is Intel or Universal it should run fine in Lion.
    To be 100% sure you should contact Avery and ask if the app has been tested with Lion.

  • Sorting by labels

    So what is the easiest way to sort my music collection by record labels with iTunes to my iPod? Should I just create playlist to every label or is there any shortcuts to do this?
    Thanks already!
    PC Windows XP

    You could add the record label to "Grouping" in the info tab for your various tracks. Then either add the Grouping column to your library view or create smart playlists to capture each label from the grouping info: Add Song Information, Lyrics, and Artwork to My Tunes To add Grouping to your library view right click at the top of any column in your iTunes library and choose it from the list.

    Peter,
    No worries.  I'm glad if I could help.

  • How to change sorting behavior in column view in Lion Finder?

    I love the ability to sort in column view in OS X 10.7. However, when I switch to column view and let sort by label, the Finder displays a strange behavior: The files are grouped by label, but in the order of lee to more. It does not seem possible to display according to the label order set in the Finder prefs.
    This is somewhat irritating. Is there a way to change this can make it consistent to the label order?
    The label order in the Finder was set to "Prio A", then "Prio B" and so forth.

    If I set it to "Arrange by", I get them sorted by file name, irrespective of the color.
    If I change that in the View Options, I get them sorted according to label, but not in the label order of the Finder prefs.

  • Lion has changed the order in which Finder items are sorted in Icon View; Acc vs. Desc.  How can you change this order?

    The order in which items are sorted has changed in Lion and I can't figure out how, or if, it can be changed.  Previously in Snow Leopard if you sorted by 'Date' in Icon View, your icons would be arranged from oldest to newest.  The same was true for 'Kind' and all the order sort options.  In Kind my *.zip files were positioned last.
    Now in Lion, the order is reversed.  Newest and Zips on top... the accending vs. decnding order has been changed.  How can I change the sort order in Icon View?

    I managed to fix the reverse order issue by deleting the com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.finder.plist.lockfile in the user library folder. I did have to use terminal to delete the files and then re-launch finder from the force quit window. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
    Hold down the option key while selecting the Go menu. Select Library.
    Navigate to the Preferences.
    Find the com.apple.finder.plist.lockfile and delete it.
    Open Terminal (Application/Utilites)
    In Terminal type in sudo rm (include a space after the rm and do not hit enter)
    Drag com.apple.finder.plist file to the terminal window. It will fill in the path to the file)
    Press return.
    Type in your password and hit return. (The cursor will not move when you type in your password)
    From the Apple menu, select force quit.
    Highlight finder and select re-launch.
    Be careful when using Terminal. There is no undo button and you can accidentally delete important files.
    I hope this helps.

  • Why is searching so much slower in both Lion and Mountain Lion than Snow Leopard?

    Hi, I use Snow Leopard run on several Mac Pros to perform multidimensional time-lapse-imaging in our lab. Snow Leopard provides instantaneous (seconds) searching for folders containing the image sequences I require for analysis (distributed across 4 x 2TB hard drives- images are saved under the structure Time\Position, and for analysis I need to retrieve all folders with the same Position label). Lion and Mountain Lion either fail to search or are painfully slow. For analysis I use internal hard drives connected as external volumes via USB and I suspect this might be part of the problem, however the same setup works flawlessly with Snow Leopard.
    This problem is becoming very frustrating as I can’t figure out what has changed, or whether I am overlooking something obvious. I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro over 6 months ago which is when I discovered this problem and had to reinstall Snow Leopard. At that time I had hoped that the next OS might provide a better search function for our use, but after some testing it seems the same. To search through folders manually takes over 10 x as long as using a simple search in Snow Leopard. Can anyone provide me any advice as to what might be causing this problem and whether there might be a solution? I’ve tried a few free searching tools from the app store, but these do not perform any better than searching in Finder. I would obviously prefer to be able to invest in new Macs in the future which run the most current OS without having to install Snow Leopard on them all (if this is even possible without future models without causing compatibility problems).
    Many thanks for reading and for any advice you can give me.

  • IPad2 iOS5 random photo sorting bug?

    After upgrading my iPad2 to iOS5, the photo sorting in albums appears to be totally randomized which makes it pretty much unusable. Is this a bug? Before the upgrade, it used to be sorted by the time the photo was taken and this was at least better than apparent random sorting. Reverting to the previous sort method would be a good fix. Better would be to have a simple way to control the sort order.

    I have lion and all of the latest updates, moved from mobile me to i cloud but my "albulms" on the i pod, i phone and i pad won't stay in the same order that they are in i photo or i tunes. The genius bar at the store went through everything and said that it's an update problem that will have to fix it. I hope they get to work quickly. 2 years ago I was promised by a senior tech that the album sorting problem would be fixed in i photo (about 20% of my albums won't stay sorted by title no matter what I do and about 80% will) and that has never been fixed.
    I pray that they read these forums and realize their problems that need to be fixed because it's impossible to go to a saved item on my iphone or ipad without any order to the sorting.
