Tags v/s prior way to highlight file / doc names in Finder

Is there an app or some other way to restore coloring the full line for file/doc names in Finder? Color Tags are too tiny!

I just found this app that does it: XtraFinder adds Tabs and features to Mac Finder.
The initial install did not work. There is a fix though:
open the installer dmg
in the Extra folder, click on RemovePackageSignature
continue with the installation.
In general I am always wary of apps like this that add features to the GUI, as they are common sources of subsequent problems, and the apps themselves rarely (if ever) add anything really useful. But in this case the automatic column width is very nice and does seem to work.

Any way to skip file extension dialog in Finder?

This one drives me crazy. I download a lot of pdf files that do not arrive in my downloads folder as .pdf files, and I need to quickly rename them in the finder (not in batch, but one at a time as they happen) without having to go through the "are you sure you want to add the .pdf extension?" dialog box.
Similarly, how can one tab between choices in such boxes and chose the highlighted box as an action? If I tab over to "use .pdf" button, it appears to be highlighted, but nothing happens.

Well, I wish I could take credit for knowing it was there before two days ago... but I dropped my laptop a couple months ago and it finally died for good on Friday, and I noticed this on the new laptop when setting up my Finder preferences.

Best way to sync files on 2 different MacBook Pros?

i use 2 macbook pros. what is the best way to keep files - docs, pdfs, psds - synced on both computers?

An external hard drive that you move between the two computers. Keep all the active files you're working on on the external drive. At the end of each working session, save copies of them to the computer's internal drive before moving to the other computer for your next work session.

Is there the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 or later?

hi
Do anyone know the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 later or substitutional way to highlight a PDF file as well as highlight file?
I want to highlight some words by indicating character's location(from n to m) using Acrobat Reader 6, 7, 8, and 9.
I use highlight xml file to highlight words in Acrobat 6, 7, and 8.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdfs/HighlightFileFormat.pdf
According to this documents, "External Window Handler Plugin" is required to use highlight file.
But I cannot find this plugin in Acrobat Reader 9.
So Acrobat Reader doesn't recognize highlight file.
Well, I know that there is another way to highlight pdf file. It is called "PDF Open Parameters".
However this parameters cannot indicate location of characters but words which is to be searched.
This parameter does not work perfectly to substitute a highlight xml file.
To satisfy what i want to do, the best solution is that Acrobat Reader 9.0 recognizes highlight xml file.
But I think it is impossible because of lack of plugin.
Do anyone know the way to recognize a highlight xml file to 9.0 or another way to highlight some words?
thanks,
Asatamax

The feature is disabled by default in reader 9
(1) Open Adobe Reader
(2) Click Edit > Preferences > Search, and
(3) check the box labelled Enable search highlights from external highlight server.
(response found here: http://support.dtsearch.com/dts0117.htm)
I can't imagine why Adobe choose to disable it. It's a bad joke for us at UNESCO (http://unesdoc.unesco.org)

Anyone knows if there's a way to share files between ipads wihtout using the itunes software?

I've been trying with some apps to do this but there's always a prior step in which you have to drag the files to the app using ITUNES. Someone knows if there's a way to share files without using this program?

Every file has to be associated with an app. So you can't avoid that. You could look into something like dropbox, where you access the info online, and I believe, download it via the dropbox app then 'send' it to the app that'll read/open it.

Is there a way to show files in finder?

I was wondering if there is a menu command [or even better, a keyboard shortcut] to view the actual file of a photo in the finder?
Something very similar to what iTunes has when you choose 'Show Song File' or apple-R?

Hi barbtastic,
There is a way to find out where the original photo is that you have in your iPhoto Library. On this page there are iPhoto Applescripts. One of them is "show image file" I tried it and it does work for iPhoto 5. If you click on the image in your library window and then use the applescript it will open up a finder window with the image file, and you can see it's path of where it is.
http://www.apple.com/applescript/iphoto/
Download the scripts from the link
Once downloaded, put the folder "iPhoto Scripts" in ~/Library/Scripts
Now navigate to Applications/Applescript
In that Applescript folder is an icon that says "Install Script menu"
double click that icon to install the Script menu in your menu bar. You might have an item called ScriptMenu.menu instead. follow directions on next link
http://www.appleclub.com.hk/applescript/script_menu/
It will look like a little black scrolled paper.
Or you might have an item named AppleScript Utility.app in the folder. Double click to open it and make sure you have show script menu in menu bar checked.
Now open iPhoto, click on a photo to highlight it
Go to the menu bar and click and hold on the Applescript icon
scroll down to iPhoto Scripts, then scroll to "show image file"
Wait for the Finder top open a finder window showing you where the image is.

Highlight File Format and PDF Documents with Chinese and English characters

I'm a developer working on an application that makes use of the Highlight File Format / external highlight server capabilities of Adobe Reader.
The highlighting worked correctly until we started to introduce pdf documents that were scanned to recognize Chinese in addition to English.
The xml file seems to have the correct values in it. For example, if the 10 characters to highlight are at position 41 on the first page. The "xml" file has the <loc pg=0 pos=41 len=10>.
If the document is scanned for English only, it works fine. That is, the highlight starts at character 41. If the same document is scanned for Chinese and English, the highlight starts at character 22.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Do you know a solution?

Hi,
I don't know about BIP and the specifics of your context, but here are some general answers for the XLIFF format:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'utf-8'?>
Can we change encoding to 'ISO-8859-1' as soon as we convert the file format ?If you also save the file to ISO-8859-1 as well yes. But you can do this only for languages supported by Latin-1. It makes sense to keep the files in UTF-8.
A-2) he section <header><skl><internal-file> contains a huge string
which seeem to be binary ... What is this ? can we delete it ?That's likely to be the skeleton file. The data used to rebuild the original format after translation.
Most likely it should stay there.
A-3) Can we have one XLF file with muliple <file> sections (one per language to translate to ) ?
This can be very useful for us to manage one only translation file per report template.Yes but no: yves you can have several <file> elements in an XLIFF document, but no: they must be for the same language pair. XLIFF is designed to work with bi-lingual files, not multi-lingual files.
A-4) the most important section for translation is included in the <trans-unit> tag .
Each one has a distinct id like ""49e41f8f" ... Can we replace this by a more meaningfull value ?Those id attributes are used by the filter to merge back the data after translation. You should preserve them.
A-5) the language format is like "en-US" (language code + territory code).
Is it case sensitive ? No it is not case-sensitive (en-us == en-US). The values of xml:lang are not case sensitive (unlike other XML attribute values).
en-US is just the recommended notation.
The XLIFF specification are here:

IT tunes music - some, a lot, of somgs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried downloading / updating but no joy?

IT tunes music - some, a lot, of songs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried re - downloading / updating but no joy? can anyone help its most annoying

Yes, in theory re-converting would lessen the quality further. However, I have heard people claim (unsubstantiated) that if you are encoding with the same encoder at the same bit rate, then since it will use the same algorthymn, it won't really change the file. I have absolutely no idea if that is true or not.
But... I figure some slight loss in quality re-encoding is still better quality than a song that only plays half way and then stops, right? I suppose you could always tag those files in the comment section with something like "Re-Encoded" and then later if you gain access to your old CDs, you can then make a Smart Playlist to gather those songs and then re-rip them again from your CDs.
Cheers,
Patrick

Can not access a component already placed in Ultiboard, only way to highlight is in spreadsheet view/parts. It is not locked.

Anyone encountered anything similar?

How is your selection filter set up?... make sure that you have 'enable selecting parts' checked. In that way you can select the component. Otherwise you can go to Edit >> Selection Filter >> Enable selecting parts.
If that is not the problem, then please attach your project file here so we can check it out.

Does mac have an app that graphically finds & highlights file icons?

Does mac have an app that graphically finds & highlights file icons (especially on the desktop)?
This used to be available as a 3rd party app on older systems but I haven't seen it currently.
Sherlock just finds locations as a listing.

The easiest way is to use iPhoto, just drag the picture in to it. To resize it select the picture and in the menu bar "FILE - EXPORT". You can preform basic editing and corrections by double clicking on the picture.

Any way to have file size included in the first search in finder?

Is it possible to somehow show file sizes when doing a search in finder?
On Panther, it was very helpful to have the file sizes listed. This immediately revealed whether the photoshop files I was looking for were full size or reduced.
But when I run a search in Snow Leopard it only shows name, kind and last opened. Otherwise I have to also add a second search to add in file size.
Any way to have file size included in the first search?
Thanks!

Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?

Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original? The cut and paste function is not available and there's no "move to" function. Am I missing something? It was so easy with Windows.

Drag the files, or press Option when pasting them; this accesses the Move To function.

Is there a way to transfer files from a mac-book to another computer?

I need to get files off of my damaged Macbook and I'm not sure how to do it. Is there a way to transfer files from my macbook to another computer? The damage is to the screen of my macbook and it is severe- you can only see the top left of screen, the rest is cracked/blacked out. Is there anything I can do?

If the MacBook has a FireWire port, hook it and the other computer up with a FireWire cable, start up the MacBook with the T key held down, and copy the files off.

Is there a way to exchange files between an iPhone and a mac?

Hi there,
I know the iPhone does not support bluetooth (legally), but is there a way I can share files between the phone and a macbook NOT connected to the internet?
What I need to do is the following: I use the phone for work (bad choice, I know...) and need to be able to access e-mail and send files out. I am going to be away for a couple of weeks (I am based in the UK and going to Italy) and was thinking to use the phone for e-mailing (megabucks!!!) and the macbook to do some work that will need to be subsequently e-mailed, but as the iPhone does not support (legally at least) bluetooth, is there a way to load files onto the phone? I mean, it doesn't sound like rocket science.
I have to say, I am overall very disappointed with the iPhone as a tool to work with. Great for games, etc., but not for work. I am really tempted to toss it in the trash (or at least return it where I got it from).
I hope you can give me some good news here...
Besides as a general observation, I have been spending HOURS scouring the internet trying to find solutions to some basic issues I have with the iPhone... A piece of kit that is as expensive as all that should not be so difficult to use especially if all I am trying to get what would be considered a common feature in all bog standard phones, but that's another story... At least I have the digital compass and I can check stocks and shares to make me feel better...
Thanks

I guess I'm confused then. DocsToGo and AirShare Pro both allow you to set up an adhoc network (direct wifi-based connection between the laptop and your iPhone, no wifi router/cell data connection required). You can then pass the documents back and forth between the two devices. I prefer DocsToGo, because it also allows you to edit/sync the docs back and forth. Is this not what you want to do? You can also email the document from within DocsToGo on the iPhone if desired.
If you want to upload/download using a service like DropBox (which will also require a data connection, either WiFi or cell-based) DocsToGo can access that cloud-based service.
Note that I'm NOT affiliated with DocsToGo, but I did read the instructions to find out all the stuff it can do
