System wide setting for View Options

I like to view documents/folders in Name order, this is simple to do via the View Options menu and select Name for the particular folder you are viewing at the time, there must be a way to set this parameter for the whole system, but i can't find it ...... anyone ??
Thx
John

John,
Open up a finder windows and 'right' click, selecting 'Show View Options'. You can change all your defaults which should change subsequent folder options. Just change arrange by to what you want and click 'Use as Default' on the bottom.

How remove saved system-wide default for a column

yesterday I saved a system-wide default for a column with a custom column heading and data format.
now, when I drag this column in a new analysis, obiee shows no column heading.
I've tried to save my custom default again or reset to column-default but with no results: the column heading is still empty.
How can I fix this problem?
thanks
Luc

Hello,
What OBI version are you using?
Enter some other custom name for the column (e.g. same as default one) and save it as system-wide. I guess, you have already tried, but...
1. Stop Presentation Services.
2. Go under web catalog in the file system and locate folder \root\system\metadata. This folder contains files storing subject area attributes, including system-wide settings. I the folder find 2 files named similar as the subject area which column you have modified (name will be in lowercase, spaces replaced with +). For example, for "SA System" subject area these files are named as "sa+system" and "sa+system.atr".
3. Backup these 2 files you have found (better whole presentation catalog).
4. Try one of the options:
Option 1: If you have another version of these files (in the backup or other environments) - try to replace them. There is a risk you will loose some other column settings (or inherit new).
Option 2: Modify the file without extension (it contains XML code inside): locate the string similar to your column name. Remove whole section ONLY for the column you have found between tags <sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat and </sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat>.
Below is sample code for column originally named as "Pager" under "User" folder in "SA System" subject area.
<sawsavedformat:metadata xmlns:sawsavedformat="com.siebel.analytics.web/savedformat/v1.1">
<sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormats>
<sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat xmlns:saw="com.siebel.analytics.web/report/v1.1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="sawsavedformat:regularColumnSavedFormat" columnName=""SA System"."User"."Pager"">
   <saw:displayFormat><saw:formatSpec suppress="suppress" wrapText="true" hAlign="left" vAlign="top"/></saw:displayFormat>
   <saw:tableHeading><saw:caption fmt="text"><saw:text>User</saw:text></saw:caption><saw:displayFormat/></saw:tableHeading>
   <saw:columnHeading><saw:displayFormat><saw:formatSpec/></saw:displayFormat><saw:caption fmt="text"><saw:text>Pager New</saw:text></saw:caption></saw:columnHeading>
</sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat>
</sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormats>
</sawsavedformat:metadata>
Option 3: Just remove these 2 files. Naturally, you will loose all the settings, not only one you like to get rid off.
5. Restart presentation services.
Hope, this helps.

I have been taking screenshots on my mac book pro and they have been saving to my desktop. However when i try to move them into a folder, they don't move at all! I have changed my setting in view options to 'none' but they still don't move?

10.6.6 - How to set custom view options for specific folders

How is it that Windows has had the ability to ability to set custom folder view options forever and OSX can't. What is the big deal? Just do it. Whenever I set the folder view options it changes the view for all the folders. I can do folder specific changes as long as the finder window is open then I close it and open it again every folder is the same again. It's just an annoyance and it's something so rudimentary it's embarrassing.

Try the following:
I want to have, say, one folder in list view
Open that folder, set it to list view, type command-J, and in the view-options window that opens, check the box at the top for "Always open in list view".
then the subfolder of that folder I want to have in cover flow view. permanently.
Open that folder, change it to cover-flow view, and in the view-options window check the box at the top for "Always open in cover-flow."
Those two folders should "remember" the custom views that were set for them.
There's additional discussion about the meaning of the"Use as defaults" button in this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13063792
My own take is that folders that have not been customized by checking the "Always open in xxx view" box will by default open in the same view (icon vs list vs column, etc) that was in effect for the previously opened folder. *Within each view*, you can set the default parameters (text size, etc) for a new folder by setting up a folder the way you like and then checking the view options box for "Use as defaults" at the bottom.

AppleScript or Terminal Control for "View Options"/"Always open in ... view

Greetings, folks!
I have not been able to figure out how to script (or, even better, a Terminal command line) control of the "Always open in (name of view) view" checkbox in the “View Options” panel for LARGE numbers of windows; I prefer not to use GUI scripting, it takes too long.
I do not EVER want that box unchecked and do not want to have to manually check many thousands of folder’s checkboxes. As soon as I can figure this out, I will set every folder on my hard drives to always open in list view and write a script such that any folder created will automatically be set to always open in list view.
AppleScript can set every attribute value in a window, except the "Always open in (name of view) view" checkbox.
I have always expected that the data would be stored in the “.DS_Store” file, but, AFAICT it is not; changing the value for a “.DS_Store” file, logging out and back in, and then re-opening it in HexEdit or BBEdit showed the pre-change and post-change files to be identical.
Thoughts?
Thanks!!

Additional info, in case anyone is running into this issue...
If I do the following with the "root level" of the disk image, I can set the "Always Open in List View" option.
1. Open the "root level" view of the disk image - for me, it always opens in icon view. Then, select "Show View Options" from the View menu.
2. Check the "Always Open in Icon View" box. While leaving this dialog open, select "as List" from the View menu.
3. Uncheck the "Always Open in Icon View" box. It will instantly turn into "Always Open In List View". Recheck this box immediately, then close dialog. This will make the setting stick.
I've been able to repeat this situation several times. I might be wrong, but it sure acts like a small bug to me. Hope this helps anyone else who might have encountered this issue.

There is a conflicting setting for recovery options (Removeable Device)

Greetings All,
We are so close to having MBAM fully working. In what I hope to be the last post on MBAM issues, I am working to resolve an issue with removable devices and enforced encryption. As it stands the OS drive is fully encrypting automatically as it
should without issue, and the system is reporting back to MABM correctly. When it comes to removable devices, the answer is a little different. You insert a USB thumb drive and Windows 7 correctly makes the device read-only and offers to encrypt
it for you to allow full access. But if tell it to perform the encryption, you get the following error.
There are conflicting settings for recovery options. When a recovery password is required, backup to active directory should be turned on or the user should be required to save the recovery password.
As it stands, I do not have backup into AD turned on as I want info backed up to MBAM. But in testing I did turn on the option to have it backup to AD for remove devices only and had the same result.
I am also including a link (to large to put in post) to a copy of my GPO for MBAM (properly sanitized) for review and would appreciate any thoughts or insight.
MBAM GPO Settings

When you makes changes to the MBAM policies, it will automatically makes changes to the equivalent bitlocker policies (In-built). I am guessing that the MBAM policy settings which you have defined for Removable drives has not been reflected to the bitlocker
policies.
As in the GPO, you can see if you have made changes to settings of the OS Drives (Windows Components/MDOP MBAM (BitLocker Management)/Operating System), it has made
equivalent changes to bitlocker policies (Windows Components/BitLocker Drive Encryption/Operating System Drive). Same
should happen for the removable drives also.
I would rather suggest to delete the MBAM GPO settings for the removable drives and then again define the settings and look for the changes in the bitlocker policies.
Let us know the result.
Also you don't have to define this particular GPO settings:

2008 and Windows
Vista)

How do I set the View Options in the Track Info window?

Hi -
Novice question here...(GB'11)
I am trying to save an Instrument after I made some changes to the Effects.
When I click "Save Instrument..." I get an alert
"The file will be hidden. You have chosen not to show your own settings. If you save the file now it won't show in the browser unless you change your view options in the Track Info window."
I didn't know I had chosen not to show my own settings.
I am looking at the Track Info window (both the Browse tab and the Edit tab) and I cannot see where I can change "view options".
Am I looking in the wrong place? I really do want my new saved changes to be on that list.
TIA you experienced input.

The answer is obviouse when you find it the pulldown menu, it is in the middle of the info panel just below the tabs, and may be showing 'Garageband', press this and you can see a number of options including 'Show all'

Can you set specific viewing options for a pdf linked from the HTMLResouces folder?

Can you change the default view to 2-up facing pages, or open it to a specific page in the pdf?

It's not something we'd likely invest time in supporting in the forseeable future.

System message setting for delivery.

Hi All,
I need to set message VL 261 Free goods group not complete as error message. I tried to do this setting at LE> shipping> system modification-->specify characteristic for system message.
But when i am enter error message number 261 it is giving error " enter valid value". But when I am creating delivery I can see that message in log as information. can any one help on this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Chetan

Hi Chetan,
for my understanding you can not switch "VL 261 Free goods group not complete as error message". If you look at the SAP customizing help you will see following information:
"The maximum possible message category is predefined by SAP. For this reason some error messages only have a limited selection of message catogories that can be set. Use F4 Help to find the maximum possible message category from the sequence 'E', 'W', 'I', ' '."
That means the message types predefined in customizing can be switched from error to warning and vice versa. BUT error messages not included can not be added or switched by customizing.

Newest iTunes is overriding System Preference setting for appearance!

I have my appearances set to graphite (as opposed to blue). That is, my scroll bars, check boxes, apple logos etc. are all showing up in graphite and not blue. Unfortunately, after downloading and installing the newest update to iTunes, whenever that program is open, the appearances switch to blue. How to I get this override to stop??
Thanks for your help...

Modifying the user template is not supported. You can Google for people who have done it in the past. I would recommend going to official route, if possible. Here are a couple of training documents. I'm sure there is more available though more official channels.

How do I set view options for all playlists at once?

Hello,
I want to able to set the view options for all my playlists at once (to include BPM, category etc). Currently you can only do this individually for each playlist.
Surely there is an easier way?

Moka.s-Onkel wrote:
Now I have some questions:
1. Is there a way of selecting multiple playlist in iTunes? And if yes, can I then change the view options for all selected playlists? How does this work?
2. Is there any other way to apply view option settings to multiple playlist?
1 - No
2 - Using iTunes, no.
However this script will do what you want .
