Spring Loaded Folders stopped working!

Hi,
In my main user on my MacBook Pro Spring Loaded Folders stopped working in the Finder. If I switch to one of my other users on the same MBP it works fine. So my question is, which preference should I delete to restore this functionality?
I already tried com.apple.finder.plist and that had no effect after relaunching the Finder.

Hi Terry,
Could it be that the preference got turned off? Go to Finder > Preferences > General, and down at the bottom, you should see a toggle switch for spring-loaded folders. If it's already on, try turning it off, relaunching Finder, and turning it on again (and then re-relaunching Finder!).
Hope that helps!

Spring-loaded folders not working.

Spring-loaded folders (when you place the cursor on a folder, press the mouse button down, and the folder opens) isn't working on two of my Leopard installed machines (a PBG4 and a MBP).
I went into Finder Preferences to make sure it was activated, and it was and changed the setting to open faster, but that did not make a difference. The folders just are not responding.
Has anyone else seen this and have a fix? Or maybe I'm overlooking another setting?

Spring loaded folders:
Finder > Preferences > General to set the delay
Space bar to open immediately. Used for putting items into folders.
Stacks are folders dragged to the dock by the trash can, set options by ctrl clicking (right click / two fingers on trackpad click) the folder. Options depend on where you keep the dock. Fan isn't an option when the dock is placed on the side of the screen.
Best.

Spring-Loaded Mailboxes stopped working in Mail

These suddenly stopped working yesterday. Now, when I drag a message to a mailbox on the left, it no longer springs open to show the nested mailboxes within it.
TIA for any ideas,
Mark

Fixed by a restart.

Spring-loaded folders no longer work

Latest update to OS X Yosemite seems to have killed off the spring-loaded folders system. I notice also that the Finder preferences no longer shows the Spring-loaded folders option but that has now been replaced by an "Open folders in tabs instead of new windows" checkbox option. I did not see any reference to this in the readme otherwise I would not have updated. Is there a Terminal command to re-enable this please?

Space bar not longer works? I tried activating and deactivating Spring-loaded folders but when I press spacebar won't work (as whith older OSx)

Spring-loaded folders won't open

Is it just me or does any one else have the problem of Spring-loaded folders not opening when they are a alias of a folder on a server? A local alias seems to work fine when a file is held on top or the spacebar is hit to quicken the process. Both of the Macs I have upgraded to 10.6 have this problem and it worked fine in 10.4

I slowed the double click speed and resolved the problem.
Sorry for the waste of bandwith.

Can I adjust spring-loaded folders?

I can't find any way to change the behaviour of spring-loaded folders in Aperture. This is extremely annoying when organizing a library.
When I drag a project onto a folder it quickly opens that folder and when I drop the project it gets placed at the top, changing the arrange behaviour from "by name" to manual. I know I can simply right-click on the folder and change it back, but I really shouldn't have to do this. It's also very annoying that when I drop a project into a folder—no matter how quickly—the receiving folder will open. Why? This is a pain in the *** when dealing with folders which contain large amounts of projects because I have to close the folder to see the remaining folders under it.
Folder labels would be great too.
Apple—please give us some options for folder behaviour in Aperture!

Bernard -- when I drop Projects into a Folder, the "by name" sort order is retained. Don't know why you are seeing a different behavior.
I'm not a developer (hey), but I think the reason the Folders open is to retain the selection in the Viewer. When the Folder is closed, the Viewer selection is cancelled. It may have been decided that dropping selected Projects onto a Folder and not showing where those Projects went, as well as blanking the Viewer, would befuddle too many users.
I move my Folders as I process my photos. Personally, I like to see the confirmation of the move, even though I have hundreds of Projects in some Folders. I find the "{Option}+{click}" of the disclosure triangles useful -- it closes or opens all the sub-Folders. I often scroll to the top of the Library Inspector, "{Option}+{click}" to collapse the entire Library, then click to expand just the first child level (which I use for general organizing). I agree that this is more cumbersome than it should be.
+1 for Folder and Album labels/descriptions/tags/metadata. "Aperture→Provide Aperture Feedback".

Spring-loaded folders open BEHIND the main finder window.

When I try to drag and drop files using the spring-loaded folders feature, the 2nd tier of spring-loaded folders ALWAYS opens BEHIND the main window, making a drop (or further navigation) impossible. Anybody else experiencing this?
This is a brand new Macbook Air with Lion installed natively. Files & programs were migrated from a Time Machine backup using migration assistant.

Turning spring-loaded folders off and then back on in Finder preferences seems to have fixed this.

Quicklook colliding with Spring loaded folders

I am sure that most people know that dragging an item over a folder in Finder opens the folder after a short delay. A shortcut to open the folder is pressing space. Which incidentally is also the shortcut for entering Quick-look.
Sometimes these collide. It seems that Finder is suddenly catching focus on what is selected, and Quick-look opens when space is pressed, even as the spring-loaded folder opens. It is kind of annoying as Quick-look is the last thing you need when drilling through a file hierarchy.
Anyone else have experienced this?

I'm having this same problem. In fact, lately the space bar shortcut for spring-loaded folders doesn't do anything at all. I just have to hold and wait til the set delay. Guess I'll have to lower the delay. Please fix this, Apple!

Spring-loaded folders not functioning

Option is checked in Finder preferences, delay short. When I move my mouse over a folder, nothing happens. What am I missing? Is it just broken on my machine?
Thanks,
Joe.

Spring-loaded folders only spring open when you drag something onto their icons, not when you mouse-over them.

Spring Loaded Folders not Closing

I have the spring loaded folders option checked, and they do open they way they should. However after say dragging and releasing a file into a folder that I accessed through several spring loaded folders, the spring loaded ones don't then automatically close. This is happening on 2 different machines running leopard.
So say I drag and drop a file into a folder that was 10 levels deep through springy folders. After the drop I now have 10 finder windows open. Is this happening to anyone else?

I've noticed the same thing. The windows all closed in Tiger. It seems like it acts differently. Sometimes I end up with all windows open, and other times I only end up with two windows open (the first and last springy ones used).
I've also noticed that if I drag a file to a folder in the sidebar it will flash the window like it's opening the spring loaded folder but you end up with the same window you started from. I have to drag the file away from that sidebar folder and then make another attempt at springing open the folder. This does not always happen though. I have tried messing with the slider in the Finder prefs for the time to spring open a folder but it doesn't help.

Watch folders stopped working in Elements 8 Organizer

Please can anyone help?
I upgraded to Elements 8 some time ago and have been successfully using the watch folders service for several months to quickly add my edited photos to organizer. The watch folders has suddenly stopped working. I have read through many forum posts on the subject, but nothing seems to get it back. Adobe Active File Monitor is set to automatic and is started (I've actually tried re-starting it but still didn't work). In Organizer the watch folder is set to the folder and sub-folders I want to import from - same as always. I've tried removing the folder and adding it again.
Not only this, but the alternative, checking the box to add to Organizer when saving my files also doesn't work properly, it only imports the first of a batch of edited pictures. When I go to get media from folder, Organizer tells me the files are already there, which they are, but I can only see them if I close and re-open the organizer.
Can anyone offer suggestions why things have suddenly gone wrong. Nothing on my compuer has changed. I'm using Vista Home Premium. I'm really really trying to avoid having to re-install elements.

I could have sworn that was the correct shortcut. Here are instructions for navigating to the Organizer's preference file along with some other info that might be helpful.
Step #3 in this document tells where to navigate to that preference file.

Spring Loaded Folders in Bookmark Bar

My apologies if this has already been asked (I couldn't find anything).
Is it possible or is there a plugin that will allow folders in the bookmark bar to act like spring loaded finder folders?
For example I have an Apple folder in my bookmarks bar which contains a number of sub-folders like hardware, software etc. If I drag and drop an address onto the Apple folder it just ends up in that folder, I would like to be able to hover over Apple and the subfolders become visible.
At the moment I have to Show All Bookmarks and organise from there. This seems like a really obvious thing to me, am I just missing a preference checkbox somewhere?
Many thanks
Tom

Tom, I've never thought about that before. However, when you wish to bookmark a page, if you click on the Add Bookmark button i.e. the "+" sign/button next to the url/address window, you get a drop-down menu which shows the geometry of all the nested folders in your bookmark collection. It's just a simple case of scrolling down to the appropriate folder.
Apologies if you know that already and it's not of any use.

Work Folders Stopped Working - The sync server needs the user's current user name and password

I have attempted re creating the setup using several blog posts including:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2014/03/03/deploying-work-folders-with-ad-fs-and-web-application-proxy-wap.aspx. Including deleting all WAP rules, deleting and recreating the Relaying Party Trust and obtaining new certificates for the file
server.
ADFS and WAP are working correctly for our Office 365 federations and on-premise SharePoint, Exchange and other web applications
If I turn ADFS authentication off on the Work Folders server I can successfully connect and setup work folders on a domain joined computer, however as soon as ADFS authentication is enabled I get the above error.

Hi,
As you expressed, it should be an authentication issue.
I assume it will work by selecting Windows Authentication instead of ADFS in step shows in following picture.
The article also mentioned that the certificate is needed in following computers.
The self-signed AD FS certificate will need to be exported and installed on the following machines in the test environment:
Work Folders
Web Application Proxy
Domain joined Windows 8.1 client
Non-domain joined Windows 8.1 client
Thus I would like to confirm if certificate is also imported.

After Tiger to Leopard conversion shared user folders stopped working

Hi,
Today i updated our mailserver to leopard. This server is also the OD master. Directly updated to 10.5.1 to have the latest bugfixes. Most things seem to work ok, but somehow our shared folders are not visible anymore. Checked the rights on them with cyradm and those are still good. When opening the account in thunderbird i can see the boxes but i cannot select them (can chose to subscribe / unsubscribe though). Has anybody else experienced this or know the answer to this problem?
Best regards,
Eelco

since i am testing leopard server with tiger and leopard clients i just noticed this problem seems somehow related to mail 3.1 accessing IMAP ACLs differently to mail 2.x, as tiger client to leopard server works fine in picking up shared imap folders.
result: atm assigning ACLs individually seems to be the only way to share imap folders... ;0(
any ideas on how to make group ACLs work again would be highly appreciated.
ds.
