Stacks - how to access ALL files? (those that don't show)

I have my Application folder in my dock.
I used to, under tiger, click on it.
type 'v'... 'p'.... then apple-O to get my VPN client.
type 'v'...'i'.. then apple-O to get visual hub.
Or I could click then scroll around in the folder to find the apps I want, including sub-folders. Now I am limited to the first 100 apps!
Agghh! How do I turn off stacks on my Apps folder?

I am hoping and wishing and praying that the next Leopard revision will have the ability to return to the good old - actually efficient - Dock folder behavior. Stack is such a huge step away from efficiency. (And it's not even pretty.) But for now there is a sort of solution....
On VersionTracker.com I found HierarchicalDock (freeware) and Quay (inexpensive shareware). I have not figured out quite what they're doing, but they're apps. That folder you want to dock - you drag it onto the app's floating window. It does some magic, then you drag that folder from the floating window into the Dock. You get your good old, icon-that-YOU-want on the docked item and it behaves the way you want it to - which is to see all of the contents and be able to access items within folders within that folder.
I'm also not happy about the reflection. It makes icons smaller or the Dock larger. Items get stuck behind the Dock like in early OSX days. These apps don't address that. (Other apps do.) But at least we can once again actually tell what's in our Dock and USE the Dock again.
Someone here asked whether we really need to access a bunch of things in our folders. I sure do! My Docked folders are always changing (which is why these 2 apps are still not a great solution for me).
Apple, please hear your loyal users and do us the favor of bringing back Dock Classic. (It's the one thing not great about Leopard.)

    I like the idea of auto back-up for my new iMac, Ipad and PC Netbook, particularly if I can access all files and data stored on any device.  But I have a Conceptronic router.
    1. Will Time Capsule work with this and how?
    2. Can my printer USB be plugged in and then shared between the devices?

    I'm new to Macs (well a returning user having started with Mac Plus!!) and not very technical.  Any help / advice will be much appreciated.

    The key to what you seem to want to do is to be able to get Apple's Time Capsule router to "join" the network that your Conceptronic router.  I believe that works with some third-party routers, but I've never seen a list of those that work in such a configuration and I have no experience with Conceptronic equipment.
    You might be better off with a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device instead of a Time Capsule.

    Yes, sharing a TM disk is a bad idea, and disks are cheap enough so that you don't need to.

  • How to select all files in "user dir" (LastAccessedDirectrory) using applet

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me " How to select all files in "user dir" (Last Accessed Directrory) using applet"?
    For this which method in applet used?
    Thanks in Advance.

    1) Do you want "user dir" (watever that is) or do you wnat the last accessed directory? Last accessed by what/whom?
    2) Applets can't access the local file sytem, and for good reason, unless they're signed and the client has given permission.

  • File Dialog - How to remove all files pattern in LV 8.x

    How to remove "all files" pattern in LV 8.x in the file dialog.
    Is it possible?
    Thanks
    Dany
    Dany Allard

    If it is a security issue, you will probably need to implement a custom dialog and actively filter for file types.  No matter what pattern you have showing, the user can type a pattern into the dialog and get anything they want.  In addition, file extension is not sufficient to determine file type.  You should probably check the file itself to ensure it is an HTML file and does not have any embedded nastiness.
    Fortunately, custom dialogs are easy to make.  Using the event structure, you can filter inputs as well, so that only HTML files will be accepted.  Good luck.  Let us know if you need more help.

  • How to select all the people that are not in any equipe  ?

    Hi,
    I have a nice SQL expression that gives me as a result all the "AGENTS" (people) that are working in an EQUIPE (a team)
    select a."AGENT_ID",
    a."NOM" || ' ' || a."PRENOM" "Nom",
    c.libelle "Equipe",
    a."DATE_EMBAUCHE" "Date embauche",
    a."DATE_DEBAUCHE" "Date débauche"
    from OBSERVATOIRE."AGENT" a,
    observatoire.equipe_agents b,
    observatoire.equipe c
    where a.agent_id = b.agent_id
    and b.equipe_id = c.equipe_id
    order by nom
    Now, how to select all the agents that are NOT working in any "EQUIPE" (team) ?
    I have tried but could not succeed !
    Thank you for your kind help.

    It is not working because the table EQUIPE_AGENTS does not contains a row if the agent is not into any equipe.
    CREATE TABLE "OBSERVATOIRE"."EQUIPE_AGENTS"

         "EQUIPE_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,

         "DATE_EMBAUCHE" DATE NOT NULL ENABLE,
         "DATE_DEBAUCHE" DATE)
    The only way to "know" if an agent is not into any equipe (team) is to search into the EQUIPE_AGENTS table, and if we do not find the ID of the agent into this table, then we know that this agent is not into any EQUIPE (team).
    I don't know ho to translate this into SQL.And that's what my query does. It uses an OUTER JOIN so that a result record is returned whether or not there is a record in EQUIPE_AGENTS. And the check for EQUIPE_ID is NULL restricts the result set to those where there IS NOT a record in EQUIPE_AGENTS.
    A more traditional way would be to use NOT IN or NOT EXISTS clauses, but they can prove inefficient.

  • How to move all files but X to Y

    It doesn't really matter if it's in the terminal or if it's a applescript but I need to know how to:
    Move all files in a dictionary but a few named.

    Could you pleas explain more?
    If you do not understand the shell while loop, it is possible that using shell commands is a bit more dangerous than you might want to try.
    The explanation:
    ls -a | grep -v "X" | while read file
    do
        mv "$file" "Y/"
    done
    ls -a will list all the files in the current working directory (including the invisible files that start with a leading period.  Thinking about this, maybe you do not want to include -a.  You could cd /path/to/the/desired/directory as a way to set your current working directory as the directory you wish to move things from
    cd "/path/of/the/from/directory"
    ls | grep -v "X" | while read file
    do
        mv "$file" "Y/"
    done
    The ls command's output is piped (the vertical bar | ) into the grep command (general regular expression parser).  The -v option tells grep to throw away any lines (filenames) that match the regular expression "X".  So if the regular expression X matches all the files you do not want to move, the filenames send to the next pipe will be the files you wish to move.
    The while loop will read the filenames grep has selected and invoke the mv (move) command for each file selected by grep and move them to the destination directory Y
    The bigest risk is that you will execute this in the wrong directory and move the files that you need somewhere else.  OR WORSE, if "Y" is NOT a directory, and you DO NOT put a trailing / the mv could move easy file to the destination file, deleting the previous file for each file moved, so effectively deleting every file in the directory except the last one.
    This is why I said if you do not understand what is going on with the shell commands, you could do damage to your system.
    ls could have the /path/of/the/from/directory instead of using the cd command.  The grep command could be replaced with egrep that allows using alternate matching strings:
    ls /path/of/the/from/directory | egrep -v "abc.txt|def.jpg|xyz.mp3|etc..." | while read file
    do
        mv "$file" "/path/to/the/destination/directory/"  # notice the trailing slash for safety
    done
    Good luck.  I hope you do not destroy your system

  • My ipad is no longer showing all my videos, even though i have the option set to show all, even those that are in my cloud. I can't do anything to get all my videos to re-appear. any help?

    My ipad is no longer showing all my vidoes, even though i have the option set to show all, even those that are in my cloud. Any suggestions??

    Close the videos app and launch it again.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    if they still don't show up after you launch the app again, try resetting the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How to access host files?

    how to access host files?

    Easy and not depends on your software version:
    press Shift+cmd+G while your finder window is open and active, you will get a new window with the field where you can write /etc/hosts
    Anyway to edit hosts file you should open it with the sudo command, this can be done in terminal window, not in Finder. Also easy and can be done next way:
    press Shift+Cmd+U while Finder window is open and active, then choose Terminal.app, and after it opens enter sudo nano /etc/hosts. You will be asked for password - this is the password you enter then you installing new application. You should know few commands to edit your hosts file:
    Previoius page/Next Page of the file - Ctrl+Y/Ctrl+V
    Add record - Input the text you need on the last free line of the file and then press Ctrl+O
    Delete record - put cursor on the line you want to delete and press Ctrl+K
    Undo - Ctrl+U
    Exit - Ctrl+X
    After edit your hosts file you should update DNS records - in terminal window enter the command dscacheutil -flushcache
    But if you really don't know what are you doing, my advice is do not touch your hosts file, ask for professional to do his job. Just like I'm doing usually. )))
