Uniform File/Folder Layout

Right I am in a bit of a pickle and was wondering if anyone can help me. This problem has bothered me for years.
I am trying to organise my folders so they all look the same. I click Alt + J and set-up the folder how I like it, so a decent space, the right size icon and text positioning etc. I then click 'Use a default', I assume this makes all new files the same. My problem lies in all my other folders I have (which are many).
How can I apply my custom folder view to all existing files/folders on my mac?
Also is there a way to ensure all finder windows open the same size, rather then swapping between a number of sizes?
Many thanks,
Luke

In Snow Leopard these settings affect the parent window and its siblings. Other windows, however, are not affected. There is no true "global" setting any longer.
Window sizes are again determined by your view settings. Now, if you want to do some searching at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate you will probably find any number of utilities that can be used to configure your setup in ways the Finder cannot. And if you search some of the AppleScript sites there was an AppleScript that would change all your windows to a single global setting.
All your individual window settings are saved in an invisible file named ".DS_Store." To begin everything from scratch you need to erase all of them. There are several utilities at the links above that will do that for you so you don't have to seek out each one.

Is there a way to clean the javascript cache of files in layouts folder?

Is there a way to clean the javascript cache of files in layouts folder?
If I deploy a new version of the solution after some changes in javascript file which is deployed to the layouts folder the old version is used. The only fix I have found so far is to change the URL of the javascript file with some fake querystring like
"?v=2". But this requires another deployment. So I am asking for an alternative approach.

hi Nikolay,
there is no clean solution for your problem. Browsers cache files by url, you can avoid caching appending in query string unique value per deployment. For example
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<current date> - will be refreshed from cache when day changes
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<GUID> - if guid is generated on every request, this file should never cache
_layouts/my_js_file.js?v=<product version> - more preferable solution, browser will update cache on every new version that was deployed
Actually, ScriptLink should take care about this, internally it has a method that appends unique id into query string based on js file content, if content changed, hash is also changed and new unique id is generated.

How do I access my bookmarks by file folder after the latest upgrade?

I accepted the latest upgrade and must undo. I cannot find bookmarks -- for example I have a file folder for knitting that contains bookmarked sites for yarn shops. The reason I have these bookmarked is so I don't have to remember the names. I can't get to other bookmarks because I don't remember the exact name of the bookmark. This is a mess! I was trying to get to a local site that I've been into over the past couple of years. Instead of taking me to that site I get a list of Google Search Results -- my local site is not even listed. This is a mess!

Help in customizing Folder Layout

All,
any ideas on how we can get the folder layout to be vertically aligned top (i.e valign=top)? If you click on Folder Layout (in Content area->Folder Style), you see a space between the top of the folder and the Quick Picks. When we publish the folder/content area as a portlet, this space spoils the look and feel.
Any tips ? or do I have to file an enhancement request

Hi,
I don´t have any implementation guide, but it could be helpfull if you check the table entries with the client 000. You need an RFC Connection.
You find the adjustment under Utilities.
Perhaps it helps.

When downloading itunes updates, i get an error that reads file folder for itunes media has an invalid character

The error message read "file folder iTunes media has invalid character".

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

All my files 'folder'?

I'm confused by the All My Files folder at the top of the Finder sidebar. It says 'all my files' but then doesn't actually seem to show results from all my files! Where exactly is it looking? For example, I can search for images in spotlight including the word 'edward' in the filename. It finds hundreds. However, in All My Files, it finds only 11. What's going on?
The thing is, this All My Files folder seems relatively exciting to me because it brings back the excellent, clear layout of the original Spotlight search (where things are clearly set out in file type 'sections' rather than a crazy long list which you then either have to add extra search criteria too, or sort or whatever (i.e. that's a faff)). However, it's not finding the things I'd like it to find when I click the 'All My Files' button on the top rail. But if I click 'This Mac' then it finds entirely irrelevant images.
Can anyone help me understand what's going on?
Edward

Thanks for your help.
I didn't delete the folder entity itself and my main question is whether there are prerequisite files inside a "All My Files" in any new MacBook Pro?

Avery file folder labels

How do I print file folder lables using an Avery template on my Mac? I have Pages and Numbers. I have tried to download the template from the Avery website but it doesn't seem to work or am I doing something wrong?

The Avery template is a Word file which Pages will open:
Menu > View > Show Layout
will then show you the textboxes for the labels . You can then type or paste those.
Merging from Numbers won't work becuase Pages only takes one entry per pages, so they will all be the same.
To get around that try:

My iTunes library is on an old computer. Not enough memory to consolidate the associated MP3 files. Transferred library to new computer. How can I add the MP3's without having to re load every file / folder again? Thanks.

Hello, I'm trying to transfer my iTunes library from an old computer with small hard drive to a new windows 8 laptop. Much of my library consists of links to MP3/ 4 files etc but there isn't enough harddrive memory to consolidate the files into iTunes music folder. I downloaded the library onto an external hardrive and have installed it on the new computer. All files that were in iTunes music (now iTunes Media file) work fine. I have transferred over all my MP3 files but of course iTunes library wont play the file as there is no established link to the file and it asks whether iTunes should locate the file. I don't want to have to import every MP3 file/ folder all over again and then delete the unlinked entries in iTunes as this will take way too much time. Is there a way to sync all of these MP3 files to iTunes automatically or do I need to go back to start and somehow try and put the library back onto the hard drive and get the files consolidated to that from my old computer? Any help most gratefully recieved. Thanks.

The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

I have an iMac purchased in May 2011. OSX Lion 10.7.3. I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi".
It will not delete.
How do I get the trash can empty of these files?

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

Is it safe to delete the cache file folder from library

is it safe to delete the cache file folder from library ?

As I understand it Robo doesn't really 'do' third-party
source control. We use SourceGear Vault, but really only as a
repository for the files. We can't really work concurrently because
Robo needs exclusive access to the top level project files. But it
kind of works for us, because we're on opposite sides of the globe.
I see what you're saying on the 'local' versions of (say) the
cpd files conflicting. If anyone else has an informed view, I'm all
ears. We've set it up this way ourselves - I don't know of anyone
doing the same. If someone tells me this is a bad idea, I'm happy
to think again.
Cheers!

Accessing File/Folder icons for current Look and Feel

Hi,
I'm looking to get the Icon for files and folders that the current UIManager uses for some work I'm doing. Please could you help.
I'm getting strange results from the method I'm using, which is to create a temporary file and do: Icon i = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getSystemIcon(tempFile);
I don't like the idea of having to create a temporary file to do this - isn't there another way to do it? - for instance asking "get default file icon"/"get default folder icon".
I could download a jpg image of the file/folder icons, but this is static - and I want my method to get the icons used for the current look and feel I'm using.
There must be a simple way to do this right? I mean, java uses a method to get the icons for the current look and feel.. Oh.. Please help!
- Edd.

Try these:
UIManager.getIcon("FileView.directoryIcon");
UIManager.getIcon("FileView.fileIcon");Leif Samuelsson

How can I save a website as a favorite place under more than one file folder? I think I used to have this ability, now it'll only save it in one place.

What this does for me is allow me to find rarely accessed websites by looking under different kinds of categories of favorite places. If I'm restricted to only one location for the data it makes it harder to find.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give. It may still be possible to do this, and I just don't know how. In the past, if I created a new file folder and saved a webpage to the new folder, it would persist even after I saved it a 2nd time to a different folder. Now, if I save it to a 2nd folder, it will disappear from the 1st folder.

You can do a Copy & Paste in the Bookmarks Manager (Shift+Ctrl+B) to create a copy of a bookmark.<br />
You can also drag the website's favicon on the left end of the location bar to a folder into the Bookmarks menu drop down list or to a folder in the Bookmarks side bar (Ctrl+B) or onto the Bookmarks Toolbar.<br />
In the side bar you need to click to the left of the icon to prevent Firefox from opening the bookmark.

How can I get Full PDF file in temporary Internet Files folder when a PDF is opened in IE?

when a URL displaying a PDF file(http://www.google.com/Test.pdf) in internet explorer is done, the PDF file is opened in Microsoft internet explorer itself. But I observe one thing. i.e., If the PDF file is created with acrobat distiller the the PDF file opened on IE is fully obtained in Temporary Internet files, and if the PDF file is created with other than acrobat distiller(i.e., created using other PDF tools), then if the same file, then only a part of PDF(10KB-50KB) is obtained in Temporary internet files folder, and remaining is obtained by Acrxxxx.tmp in C:\Documents and Settings\Current UserName\Local Settings\temp folder. why this is happening?
consider the total size of file as 1.5MB.
In my PC, I had Adobe reader 8.1 and IE6.

Yes, I was seeing the difference between PDFs that are linearized. I had unchecked that option, still I can't get the Full PDF in temporary Internet files folder.
Are there any more settings to be changed.
Why only for some files this is happening, What was the difference b/w the files which are fully obtained in temporary internet files folder and that are of not fully obtained.
