Stacks List View problem

I am very grateful that stacks has adopted the list view. It was getting out of control and some people don't want a huge spread taking over screen space when you have a lot in your folders.
I have one observation and a question.
1. The list view has the one fatal flaw of not allowing you to drag files from it elsewhere (like the trash). This is an essential part of stacks, especially your download stack. Am I missing something or did they just get this wrong?
2. Can you re-size the icons for stacks in fan and grid views? It would be much better for me if they could be smaller. I have the 24" monitor so viewing them is hardly a problem.

Ok I like the fact that we now have a third option on how to access our files via the Dock, but unfortunately, we only get to use one at a time.
It would be so much convenient to use a left click to access either Grid or Fan, and a right click to access the list view via a list item on the opening list.
Also, I notice that if you drag a file onto one of the stacks, the stack opens (via the spring loaded feature) and allows you to drop the file onto one of the applications. If you change your mind and don't actually drop the file, the window will close - which is GOOD. But if you do drop the file unto the application, the window will NOT close - which is BAD.
In addition, the look of the opening window is not the same look as when the stack is activated with a click. It actually turns into a Finder window.
So, the stack should open and close in all instances (being consistent) and it should have the look of a stack and not a folder (staying consistent). On the other hand, if the stack is opened via a list and subsequently opens to an actual Finder window, then obviously, it should simply be a Finder window and not an opaque (Stack) window.
Thanks,
Dorian

List view problems in calendars

Help! All of a sudden I have developed a problem with the list view on my iphone calendar. Events are showing up with incorrect dates, but ARE correct on the page views and month views. For example, an event correctly showing as 25 Oct on month view, reads as 11 Oct in list view. If I select the entry from the list view, the data is correctly recorded under the actual event. Can anyone help? My days get very busy and the list view is invaluable for a quick scan through! Cheers!

Thankfully now resolved - it was simply a case of switching of the calendars on MobileMe on my iphone, waiting a minute or two and then switching them back on again!

Safari 6.0.5. Bookmark bar list view Problem

I am running safari 6.0.5. I have a problem with the Bookmark bar. It recently changed from a list view to a scrollable preview of websites. I would like to return to list view.

In the middle of the bottom edge of the black area in the bookmarks window, there's a "grab handle" represented by three short, faint horizontal lines. When you move the cursor there, it changes to a hand. Click and drag the grab handle upward.

Reverse the order of stacks list view

Is there a way to reverse the order when viewing the contents of a stack in list view by date added?
For example, the downloads stack: the default setting puts the most recently added at the top of the list, meaning I have to scroll up to it, rather than at the bottom, where it'd be right there above the icon to click on.
Thanks for the help

I completely agree with Solar Servant,
The regular stacks view is viewable in this (very practical) direction, so why not the list variety?
thanks for making a more usable OSX a reality

List view problem in iTunes 10. How to move Album/Artist description text.

Starting with iTunes 10, in list view the Artist and Album name info was moved from underneath the Album Art in the "Artwork" column to the right of it. like the 1st screenshot below Is there a way to revert to having that info placed underneath the artwork like the 2nd screenshot below?

No, there is no option to change the the layout. FWIW I prefered the older layout too. We don't all have wide screens. You could drop a line to iTunes Feedback if you want.

List view problem

I use List view. The left column contains icons for Applications, drives, etc., and I can add folders and files by dragging them to that column. But I can't *delete* them, either by dragging them out or hitting Delete or Opt-Delete. What do I do?

Thanks, but I should have specified further. Neither Delete, Opt-Delete, Ctrl-Delete, CMD-delete (by which I assume you mean the Apple key + delete) nor any of these options with Shift works. What I'm trying to do is delete items from the left-hand column in List view (in fact, I now see that it's in all views) where you can drag folders, files, individual apps, etc., to launch them directly instead of having to dig down in folders. It's baffling.

HT4946 "List View" in Calendar!!??!?!?!?

Am I the only one who wants "List View" back in the new Calendar App?!?!?? This is sooooo frustrating! In iOS7 when it was only available under the "search" option, that was annoying. But now, with iOS7.1, Apple has removed it all together!!!

Thank you for your nice reply. Well, I didn't realize this particular thread was about this List View problem in the iPhone -- I've spent about half an hour reading similar complaints in other threads about iOS 7 in general.
The Search icon is a Search icon, not a List View icon for the List View function. The Search icon annoyingly opens up the keyboard, which I don't need to have a look (View) of upcoming events. Secondly, the pseudo list view that appears does NOT code the events by calendar color.
I bet you a 128GB iPad Air that this limitation is annoying to, yes, thousands of iPad users. It's not arrogance, it's purely statistics, since there are literally millions of iOS 7 users in the world.
Briefly, instead of restoring a very simple List View option, what Apple is telling thousands of customers is: "You don't NEED a list view in your iPad anymore. But if you believe you do, click on an icon which is not for a list, but for Search, and which will open a keyboard that you don't need, close the keyboard, and try to guess which calendar the events that will appear belong to -- personal, professional, holidays... you name it! However (Apple continues) if you have an iOhone, you DO NEED a specific icon for an event list. Or, else, waste your time trying to find a roundabout way to do what a few months ago, in the Old Times of iOS 6, you used to do with a click".
That's Apple's (il)logic for its mistakes, and the rest is just justifications.

How do you change the sort order of a Stack on the Dock in List view?

I want to change the 'Date Added' sort in the list view mode of a stack from descending to ascending.
I have the Downloads stack sorted by 'Date Added', however I would like to reverse the order of this sorting. When I open the stack, it shows the oldest files at the bottom and newest files at the top. Since there are many hundreds of files, the newest files are actually hidden and I must scroll up to access them. When I access this folder I want to see the most recent files first, at the bottom of the list nearest the stack icon, not the files I downloaded years ago.
I prefer to use the traditional List view for Stacks because it is faster (no animations or loading preview icons) and easier to navigate visually. Please do not suggest a different view mode such as fan view or use-new-list-stack.

Have you tried changing the list with the numbers? (See the screen shot)

Problems with scroll bars in list view

Hello,
I am using Xcelsius 2008 (Build Number 12,2,166). I am still having trouble with scroll bars on my list view control. Other list views in my dashboard seem to be ok. It seems that this list view is not ignoring the blank cells in my excel file. I have gone through many things to correct this problem. I have added a new list view, I have copied other list views that work correctly but still no success. It seems that the "Ignore Blank Cells" property is not working correctly. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Much Thx!

Hi Yusufel,
Please check the data whether the cells are really blank or having any space which could not be seen, etc.
With best wishes
BaaRaa.

List View Printing Problem

Greetings,
I'm using iCal 2.0.3 on OS X 10.4.3.
I'm having two problems making a "List View" print look correct.
Problem #1: I have a To Do item that was due several days ago. It shows up in the main iCal To Do pane with an attention icon next to it (showing past due). However, when I print and choose "List view", to do items that are past due do not show up. How can I make them show in the printout?
Problem #2: When I print a "List view" for today's date, there are a small handful of to do items that were marked complete over one months ago that show up on the print out. Why? How can I make these go away?
Many thanks for any assistance that can be provided.
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I have exactly the same problems John has: it seems iCal prints data in an absolutely unpredictable way. I dropped Now Up-to-Date and Entourage, and I wouldn't like to go back to them. This looks like a widespread complaint about Mac OS X and Apple should do something about it ASAP

List View Web Part Search problem

We have a problem with the search in the
List View Web Part (SearchBox).
If you enter anything in SearchBox
and the beginning of the search, nothing happens.
This problem only occurs in non-admins.
In this case, the browser generates an error:
"inplview" not defined.

I have the same problem. I think the problem is related to the Publish feature.
Any ideas?

List view threshold and columns manage metadata problems

Hi
We have problem in our company since we have more files in library than is set in List view Threshold.
I have created index on column "year" and create view filter: Year is equal 2015.
and I get famous error: this view cannot be displayed because....
I haven`t find any limitations on column type: manage metadata?

Hi,
As I understand, you encountered the issue after you created view filter.
Every column type has the default number that can be created. You should go to check the number of your column created is less than the number by default.
Per my test, I can achieve it without exceeding list view threshold.
Check things below:
1. You can increase the number of the list view threshold, and after that, you can try again to see the same situation will occur.
2. Go to create another managed metadata column “year”, and create index on column "year", and create view filter in the same list to see the issue will occur.
3. Check ULS log to see the details about the cause of the issue.
Best regards,
Sara Fan

Finder problem-can't sort some folders in list view

Hi,
I have a problem with some of my folders in Finder. I prefer to use 'list' view when working in Finder. However, in some of my folders the item bar is greyed out and I can't click the bar to sort. From the image below, the left image is the folder in question; the right is the normal view that I like to work in where I can click on the bar to sort items.
I'm not sure why this is happening, so could somebody shed some light on this please.
Thanks.

I had the same question. Credit goes to http://superuser.com/questions/339525/os-x-lion-new-finder-view-that-doesnt-allo w-sorting for the answer.
If you have a window that is in this state, first click the title bar to make sure it's the "active" window, then go to the "View" menu, then click "Sort by..." : None.
Make sure "None" is active, then you can sort just like it's 1984-2010.

Problems using "Edit Column Widths" feature in List View component

Hello. I'm using a list view component (Xcelsius 4.5 Professional) to display a simple table of text from Excel. I want to adjust the width of the component colums so that all of them fit on the screen at the same time- regardless of how wide they are in the excel columns. The problem is the columns in excel are of variable length; I have no way to predict how wide they will be. The list view component always defaults to the widest column(s) so it ends up pushing some of the columns to the right and I then have to use the scroll bar to see them. I thought the "edit column widths" would allow me to force the column widths in the component (potentially truncating some of the columns), but it does not work that way.
How is the "edit column width" feature supposed to work? What does one enter in the value for each label? Are the units in pixels? When I start entering values I get all kinds of strange behavior...

This was a great place for me to start
Thank you
I took profdant139's suggestions a bit further as my real goal was to have the "Document column" narrower. The goal to be able to see all the other document info that was usually hidden way out to the right
To achieve my results I right clicked in the upper bar with the column names and chose from the drop down box "comments" column (as suggested). I then dragged it to the far right. This pushed all the other columns over.
In the end of the day I ended up adding "Size" and "Date modified" columns as well to get my desired results.
Remember one can move different columns around to be in the order you need by clicking on the column to get it active and then left click and drag it to where you want
Another great thing is that by default (Using Mavericks) the date modified, opened,created columns have date and time. One can shrink them down to xx/xx/xx format by manually adjusting the column width like one does in Excel - click on column separator up top and drag
Once all that is done, at least on my box, I closed it out and opened up a new finder window and everything was as I wanted.
Thank you for the help from the above helper to get me here

Problem with showing mp3 album art in list view.

Hello.
I have litle problem with showing mp3 album artwork in list view.
In SNOW LEOPARD all work fine, and all mp3 files have album art's preview in list mode in finder.
But in LION i have only default preview mp3 icon.
Option "Show icon preview" is already on!

I have the fix!!!!
I have had the same issue ever since Lion. Its been very painful not having album art preview in finder or the play button when rollover the file for so many versions of OSX. Today I worked hard in trying to solve the problem since Applecare support hasn't helped much, all they did was tell me to bring the computer in. The other main reason I got so motivated to try and fix this is because the DJ app for Mac only reads album art from the finder even if iTunes can display the album art. The other reason that got me curious is that my friends macbook pro album art worked fine, so I cross checked with his computer until I figured out a few things that helped and ultimately fixed the issue. FINALLY!
My set up:
- I have my full iTunes library folder on my external as I have over 700GB of music.
- It includes all my database files in there, which is very important as I have many playlist settings from over 7 years of iTunes activity.
SOLUTION:
1. With every new computer I have purchased, I use to just pressed option on Mac and press iTunes to locate my folder (which I have said is located on my external drive).
2. I tried today to press option again BUT locate and selected the default library in the user/music folder of my internal drive (standard setting from Apple).
3. Miraculously, all the album art appeared in both my external drive library and also today's downloaded songs on my Macbook pro. Ofcourse with the new default location I don't have any songs or data.
4. So I tried to find a way to keep this library data on my internal drive since it can help the finder display all my files properly, yes even have the play on rollover button but as well link it back to my external drive with all my 700GB songs.
5. I then went into iTunes Preferences/Advance tab and in iTunes Media folder locationredirected the location to my external drive iTunes/ iTunes Media folder. If it asks to collate data, press NO.
6. Then I quit iTunes.
7. Next I copied the 4 files to my desktop from my external drive as I want to keep the data I have made with all my playlists etc. The four files are iTunes Library Extras.itdb ,iTunes Library Genius.itdb , iTunes Library.itl , iTunes Library.xml
8. I then went to my internal drive User/Music/Itunes/ and dragged these 4 files I copied from my external drive into here and making sure to REPLACE the four existing files already there.
9. Next open iTunes and you will find all your presettings appear with all your music linked to your external. What this does is keep the important library files on your internal drive (that somehow makes your finder files album art appear), BUT to read also all the music mp3 files located in the external drive (action from step 5)
Presto!! All your music files whether on internal drive or external all the album art has appeared.
Hope this helps!! Let me know if there are any other questions.
I am on 10.8.1 running retina macbook pro.
