Sort files in Finder column view for the current folder only?

Hi,
I don't really understand how finder sort settings work, even after using OS X since it first came out. Maybe someone can give me a hand.
I'm trying to sort files inside one specific folder according to their name decending. In general I have arranged them by label and sorted by file name ascending. Every time I try to use the settings in the "display options" (cmd+J), this applies also to several other folders. Even if I right-click on that particular folder to enter the settings.
Isn't it possible to apply different sort/arrange options to individual folders?
p.

For column view, there is only one arrange/sort, no matter where you are in the hierarchy. It is based on what the arrange/sort was set on the original folder opened.
In the View Options, the Brows by ??? view checkbox controls what happens when you open a folder from that view. If it is set, then the folder opens in the same view as the enclosing folder. If unchecked, and you have set a view on a folder, that folder will open in the desired view.
Again, this does not apply in column view. Column view has only one arrange/sort for the entire hierarchy.

Sort files in Finder Column View?

Like to sort files by date in column view, is this possible? I know you can do it in List view, but can't seem to do this in column view. It would have to be folder specific, as the upper level (which are folders of folders) should be alphabetical, then the folder with files I'd like to sort by date created. Now, all are presented in alphabetical order, and then I have to scroll down to get to them.
Thanks!

Nope, can't be done in Finder column view - alphabetical is the only option.

Quicktime file info missing in Finder column view???

In the Finder column view my PowerMac G4 running OS X 10.3.9 shows all QuickTime audio and video file info along with the playable thumbnail video or music bar, including duration/running time and (for movies) dimension/aspect ratio in pixels.
However, on my much newer iBook G4 from 2 years ago running OS X 10.4.10, those two helpful stats are missing. From what I've been told this helpful file date and aspect ratio data is indeed possible with 10.4 Tiger as it is in Panther but I can't see how to show them via either View preferences, QuickTime prefs, Apple's document files or even these message boards. If anyone could please help me I'd really appreciate it, thanks!!!

Oh, sorry.
No, I am running Quicktime 7.2 on both computers. I always install the latest updates when Software Update informs me of one and Quicktime doesn't use different versions for Panther & Tiger as far as I know.
This has been this way for a long time and the only difference at any time in the past has been 10.3.x vs 10.4.x. I sort of accepted it was something not available in Tiger's Finder column view (since I don't remember doing anything specific in Panther to show that extra info) but then after someone pointed out to me that that should be something one can adjust (and after using common sense) I realized Tiger wouldn't disable or take away info provided in the earlier versions, in a sense downgrading something users may rely on.
I don't think I asked: are you (or anyone reading this) showing the duration and dimensions of Quicktime audio and movie files in Finder column view under Tiger? ...or under Panther? Again, I'm referring to those that can be played directly in the preview in column view. Thanks.

Filter for the current month

Hi all,
Our client wants to see the report for the current month whenever he opens the report. We have a field called date which shows the date when PO was created in the format of mm/yyyy and mmm yy(JAN 2004 or JAN 2007. How should I create a filter report or Drill not Query to filter the data for the current month only.
Regards,
BOB

Bob,
filter the data for the current month only.
It will work best setting up a filter at the Universe level. You don't mention the database vendor, but for instance if it was SQL Server you could use something like this:
select convert(char(11),getdate(),101)
Essentially you'll take the current date and modify it to conform to the MMM/YYYY format....
thanks,
John

"I would like to know how to set the default view for the columns. Somewhere I read it could be done in by music icon under Library. Can't find it. Thanks

"I would like to know how to set the default view for the columns that are shown in iTunes. Every time I open it, I have to either go to the options, or right-click to get the pop-up options, and delete "rating" and add "composer." I'd really like to just do it once and be done with it." Somewhere I read you could do this by clicking on the Music icon under LIBRARY then arramge the columns. Trouble is, I can't find a Musi Folder or icon in my user library.
Any help would be appreiated. OSX 10.9.2 iTunes version 11.1.5 Thanks!!! CW!

From the iTunes menu bar try View>Show View Options. Make sure what you want to see is checked and what you don't is unchecked. You can do this (may need to do this) for any playlists, your main Library, etc.
Good luck

I have tried a lot to find an app or some way in email to attach multiple of pdf files in one email. I could not find anything that sends multiple pdf file in one email and still keeping the file in simple pdf format for the recipient.

I downloaded 4.0 when prompted, but it did not open upon completion and now shortcut does not work and cannot find file to run 4.0 in the firefox folder. Tried restarts and reinstalling 3.6 which now also won't work for me. Ideas?

I downloaded 4.0 when prompted yesterday. Seemed to download normally but did not automatically start following download even though that option was checked. The shortcut now is broken and efforts to fix it fail because the file cannot be found. Checked the firefox folder and do not see a file to run firefox. Tried restarting twice with no luck. Then tried multiple times to reinstall 4.0 with no success. Then tried uninstalling and reinstalling 3.6 with same result.

OK. Got it figured out. Disabled my virus scanning software and the download worked perfectly. Should have thought of that before now.

10.4 style draggable timeline audio preview in Finder/column view?

For the love of Steve please tell me this vital workflow feature/tool has been re-instated in SL. For folks who work with hundreds of audio files the removal in Leopard of the ability to scroll through audio files in a Finder column view window was a real kick in the teeth. In Leopard the only way to access a scrollable preview of an audio file is to open QuickView, effectively disabling ANY OTHER FINDER ACTION during the preview. Sorry to shout here but this is just...a dreadful step backwards. Not only functionally but also an annoying percentage of files (that should and do play in QT etc) will not play in QuickView and fast-ish previewing through multiple files will often crash QuickView.
Please let it be fixed.

I fedback btw, thanks for that.
Overall Leopard is a fine beast. Basically all I would like is
a/ scrolling and not only play in window columns
b/ fix quickview so it plays all the files it should and
c/ also doesn't crash
If anyone else feels this way please let Apple know at OSX Feedback

Lion: Finder: Column View: Date Last Opened is not show correctly

Hi Folks,
I have upgrade my macs from 10.6.8 to 10.7.
I am using the column view in the finder and I noticed that the
Date Last Opened is not show correctly in the preview column.
If I use the the list view and show the column Date Last Opened
all dates are correct. Using the column view, the Date Last Opened
allways matches the Date Last Modified.
The attached screenshot shows an example with the same
file at in both views mentiond above.
I have noticed this problem with internal and external drives
using the filesystem Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Is there way known to fix this behavior. In Snow Leopard it worked fine.
Thank you for your support.

Same here, however I found a strange work around.
Go to your applications folder, for instance. Click the gear icon, go to Arrange By, then select Date Last Opened. It will correctly show the last opened time and arrange them accordingly. Switch back to arrange by name and the last opened date reverts back.
It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Althought they do no hinder me from successfully running the project. these messages are annoying. I have seen many articles on the web but could nowhere find the exact schemas for that the above elements that I could add to the DotNetConfig.xsd file.
Could somebody give me an idea how to create xsds for the elements above and include in the dotnetConfig.xsd.
I understand what needs to be done but not sure of the exact way to do it.
Thanks,

You don't need to modify the dotnetconfig.xsd. All you need to do is generate an XSD for your section and let VS know where it is at.
1) Create your XSD using any of the various tools available or by hand.
2) Copy your XSD into the <VSDir>\Xml\Schemas directory.
3) Create a catalog file for your schema.
4) Restart VS and it'll load the XSD and give you Intellisense.
Here's the MSDN documentation for it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms255821.aspx

Anything like Finder column view in Automator?

When using actions like New Folder or Copy Finder Items the user navigation for choosing a folder is very clumsy.
At the moment all I can come up with is for the user to click on the Where drop down menu, click on Other... (which throws them into their Documents folder by default), then browse to the folder they want to copy to and click on Open (so a minimum of 4 clicks).
What I'd really like, once the action is invoked, is to allow the user to browse onwards from my preset folder, in a column view, to the folder they need and then click Continue (so potentially just 2 clicks).
Is there anything like this in Automator?

Looks like this is not, what you are looking for:

Type-mapping not working correctly, get "Unable to find a javaType for the xmlType" WARNING

I'm manually creating a web-services.xml file, and using the autogen ant task to
generate the codec XML/Java classes. The XML definition is provided by SAP.
The ant build.xml file:
<project name="buildWebservice" default="stubgen">
<target name="stubgen">
<clientgen ear="C:\projects\RMIS\ifrrequests\RMIS.ear"
packageName="com.aa.rmis.webservice.client"
clientJar="C:\projects\RMIS\ifrrequests\rmisws-client.jar"
autotype="False" />
</target>
<target name="all" depends="stubgen"/>
</project>
The problem is seen below in the output from Ant. Note the WARNINIG. The problem
is that the xml type cannot be mapped to the Java type.
C:\projects\RMIS\ifrrequests>ant -buildfile clientbuild.xml

The Java source that has the implementation of the service methods is simply:
package com.aa.rmis.webservice;

public class TestService
public TestService()
public int serviceRequest(PaymentRequestCreate request)
System.out.println("Received serviceRequest message");
return 0;
public void testStringRequest(String request)
The web-service.xml file is attached, which contains the schema for the SAP PaymentRequest.Create
object definition.
Another problem I have, which is probably related, is that the service method
that has a complex data type (non-built in data type) is not being deployed into
the WebLogic server. But the other service method that simply takes a String
parameter is.
The steps I took are:
1. Get XML from SAP Interface Repository (IFR) for PaymentRequest
2. Use ant task autogen to generate the request codec classes
3. Create the web-services.xml file by inserting the schema definition and the
mapping file created by the autogen task, and defining the operations
4. Build web-services.war file that contains all autogen compiled class files,
the web-services.xml file, and the service implementation class
5. Build the ear file that holds the web service files
6. Use the clientgen ant task to generate (included above) to generate the client
jar file that should contain the proxy for both of the service methods
Environment:
* WebLogic 7.02
* JDK 1.3.1_06
* JBuilder 9 Enterprise
* Ant 1.4
Possible causes:
* Namespace not being used correctly
* copied verbatim the mapping xml file generated by autogen into the web-services.xml
file
* xml-schema part of web-services.xml might not be set correctly
* operation definition might not be using the correct namespace
* Classpath used for ant might not be right
* Doubt this is the problem, but I'm out of other ideas
* Set by using the setWLEnv.cmd file provided by WebLogic
* Tried adding the generated classes directory for my project to the classpath,
but did not work
I've been referencing the Programming WebLogic Web Services document throughout
this entire process. I must be missing something.
Can anybody from BEA help me out with this problem?
Thanks in advance.
[web-services.xml]

Hi JD,
I spent a few cycles looking over your web-services.xml file, however I
don't have any suggestions other that one that looks like you have
already tried, at the top, in the <schema...>
targetNamespace="urn:sap-com:document:sap:business"
Making edits to these generated files can be tricky and my only
suggestion is to create a small reproducer to run by our outstanding
support team.
A quick look at our problem database shows one issue (CR095109) related
to a similar problem at deploy time that was fixed with 7.0SP3. Again,
the support folks will be able to help focus in on the issue.
Regards,
Bruce

Create a defaut view for the MS Project Server 2010 client

Dear Forum,
how can I create a defaut view for the MS Project Server 2010 client?
I saved a template and set a default view under File -> Options ->Project View. I also did the same in the checked-out enterprise global. If I then close the client and re-open it my default view changes back again to the previous one (not the view
I set as a default view).
What explains this behaviour and what can I do? Any hints?
Thank you very much for your help!

Scheduler007 --
The view you selected by clicking File > Options > Project View is the default view for every new project you create from a blank project template. This is a global option, so setting it from the checked out Enterprise Global file serves no purpose.
When you select a view as your default view, you will see that view applied to the blank project that is opened when you launch Microsoft Project 2010, and you will see it applied if you create new blank projects. If you create enterprise templates for
people to use in your organization, you should simply apply the view to the template that you want as the default so that users will see this view immediately when they create a new project from the template. In addition, if you apply a view to an open
project, close and check in the project, and then reopen the project, you will see the last view applied in that project (as Guillaume correctly points out).
Beyond this, there is no method possible for the Project Server administrator to specify a default view for the Microsoft Project application used by the project managers in your organization. This is an option each PM must set. Hope this helps.

Finder "column" view no longer previews ".iff"s

Sorry if this is the wrong forum (is there no Shake forum????).... is Apple going to kill Shake?
So I upgraded from 10.3.6 to 10.4.2 ..... now the ".iff" files (when in column view) no longer show the image in the preview window... it is now an icon??? why is this... does Apple not support native Shake images in 10.4.2 (it did in 10.3.6)?
