V100 and the Library fold

hi everybody,
this post is actually dedicated to provide a better solution for the way folders are handled in V00, do creative people actually read here?
I preferred the old way (v200) how folders were handled because of only one thing, I use my MP3 player when I am jogging, where I have the player in my pocket. Now what I do is without looking use the wheel to navigate to the folder I want. I find the correct folder by hearing the first track. This doesn't work here anymore, because while skipping folders within a library, you don't hear the first track. So it is impossible to find the folder without looking at the display.
A good solution would be to reactivate this feature, or let the user chose to activate it from the settings menu.
Or you could let us create our own libraries, because libraries do have the possibiliy to listen to the first track.
On the other hand, this feature may be appreciated by people who do look at the display while switching around. But they could pause the player while skipping. The best thing would be if we could deactivate this feature and activate it from the settings menu.
I would love it if you would switch back to the old way

Similar question...
I have older Creative products (muvo TX FM, nano Plus, muvo slim).
I often want to find out which directory (folder) I'm currently listening
to. In my older products, I'd click on 'Skip Folder', and then it would show
the name of the folder I'm *currently* listening to. In those players, only a single
directory level was supported. So, if I had directories
'booka_disk0'
'booka_disk02'
'booka_disk03'
'booka_disk04'
and I suppose I was listening to file 'track6.mp3' in folder 'booka_disk03'...
When I start the player from a stop, it would go to the current spot of 'track6.mp3' of folder 'booka_disk03'. I'd only see 'track6.mp3' on the display, but if I wanted to find out which folder I was in, I simply scrolled to 'Skip Folder' and it would show me 'booka_disk03'.
Now with my v00, there is a forced extra level of directories. So my file system looks like (I put my audio book in 'library A'):
'root'
'library A'
' booka_disk0'
' booka_disk02'
' booka_disk03'
' booka_disk04'
'library B'
'library C'
When I start the player from a stop, it still goes to the correct spot:
library A/booka_disk03/track6.mp3
But I only see on the display, track6.mp3. I use my old trick of scrolling to the 'Skip Folder' to find out what folder I'm in. I see 'Library A'. I scroll into it, and see booka_disk0, the first disk in the directory. *Not* booka_disk03, the current folder.
So I don't really have any way to find out what folder I'm in.
My suspicion is that this player doesn't fully support directories in levels below the 'library A' level. Which is kind of bad, since the OS forces you to do this.
If someone knows a way to find a the current folder, I'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance

  • Housekeeping and the Library folder...

    I've just been browsing the library folder (system rather than user library) and have noticed that some folders are colossal in size... so can I clear out some of the files that I KNOW that I now longer require?
    For example, in 10.4 there was no option to select which print drivers were installed, so I have 2Gbs of Epson, Xerox, Canon etc drivers that I will never use, as I have my own HP printer which I had to download drivers for. Would deleting that cause issues?
    Also I hear that the language options (the same as the printer drivers) weren't selectable, so various versions of chinese, japanese, cyrillic scripts and arabic that I'm really not going to need... where would they be based?
    Many thanks,
    Ben

    "Would deleting that cause issues?"
    Nope. Trash 'em!
    "where would they be based?"
    They're all over. YOu can use an app such as Monolingual or DeLocalizer to delete all localizations you don't need.

  • How to show the Library folder in an external hard drive

    Hi there,
    I am trying to restore the Skype Chat History to my new computer. 
    My old hard drive crashed and had to be replaced.  Unfortunately my back-up Time Machine file was corrupted due to fact that this is a VERY EASY thing to happen and hence I DO NOT recommend that anyone uses Time Machine through a wirelessly connected hard drive, such as a Time Capsule - a very bad design flaw!
    Luckily I am able to access some of the files on the old hard driave that was removed from my laptop.  However I can not find a Skype folder or the Application support folder under my user name.  Because it is an external drive, I can not use the techniques that have been suggested in other posts (such as using Terminal to permanently show the Library folder or using the Option key).
    Can you please help me!?

    Open a Finder window and choose the external drive with the user folder in the Finder sidebar. Then, make sure you see your user folder in the Finder window, because you will need it.
    Now, open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
    chflags nohidden
    After typing that, press the Space key and drag your user folder from the Finder window to your Terminal window, and after dragging it, now type after the dragged folder (without space):
    /Library
    In Terminal you should see:
    chflags nohidden (yourdraggeduserfolder)/Library
    Finally, press the Enter key and the Library folder will show up

  • What happened to the Library folder?

    I did an upgrade to Lion this past weekend. Everything seems to work fine except the Library folder is not present. I clicked on two files from an email message and they showed up in the Mail Downloads folder, but I cannot navigate to that folder. All I have  as folders under "My Name" are: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, hob [?], Movies, Music,  Pictures. Public, Sites. Nothing else. Can someone enlighten me on where the Library folder might be?
    Thanks!

    When I start a backup. Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None; Latest Backup: None", so it seems like it should do a complete backup, but it only does a partial.

    Aside from the size of my backup drive, which I will increase at some point, I'd really like to have time machine backing up all system folders, especially Applications. How to I reset this hidden exclusions?

  • HT203477 My FCP 10.1 is freezing at  "Restore window layout" I am running on mavericks and the layout folder in not in applications support... What do I do ???

    My FCP 10.1 is freezing at  "Restore window layout" I am running on mavericks and the layout folder in not in library/applications support/ final cut pro... What do I do ???

    Had the same issues. For me, I found unmounting any external drives and relaunching FCPX worked.
    Mavericks seems to have some issues with launching Final Cut, so its best to launch and then plug in any external drives - hope that helps.

  • After updating to system 7.2 the library folder in my home folder has disappeared.. anyone know if this is a byproduct of OS7.2

    After updating to system 7.2 on my MacAir, the library folder in my home folder has disappeared.. anyone know if this is a byproduct of OS7.2

    Not with 10.7.2 but with OSX Lion since it was released.
    Apple has hidden the Library folder by default.
    In Finder option-click Go in the menubar and it will appear under Home.
    Or permanently with this Terminal command: chflags nohidden ~/Library

  • Photos in iPhoto cannot be found in the Library Folder on the desktop

    I have a perplexing problem with iPhoto 6. A couple of months ago, I started a new Library and renamed it Current iPhoto Library placing it on the Desktop (rather than in the Pictures Folder).
    I did this because my laptop became too full and I ran out of hard disk space. The original Library resides on an external hard disk.
    I added many new photos to the new Library, inside of new albums.
    My problem is that all the new photos seem detached from the Library Folder on the desktop.
    They do take up memory, and now my laptop hard disk is full again.
    But I cannot free up space because the Library folder does not recognize the existence of the new photos—even though while in iPhoto, with the program is running, I have no trouble accessing all the photos.
    I tried DiskWarrior, assuming that there was a Directory malfunction. That did not help.
    I tried rebuilding the Library using iPhoto's built-in capability, by starting the program while pressing the Command and Option keys. No help.
    How can I make the Library Folder recognize all the photos that iPhoto can see fine within the program?

    First, thank you for keeping up with me.
    Second, where do look for Folder? On the desktop? iPhoto?
    Third, in replaying what must have happened, I think I have an idea of what went wrong. Originally, I moved my first Library to an external HD to free up space on my laptop, and I started a new Library. Some time ago, iPhoto must have spontaneously created a new third Library. It left what I am calling the second Library as the only visible folder containing an iPhoto Library. I was able to mount the small second Library when I restarted iPhoto by pressing Option and selecting the only Library that was visible to me. When I did that, unfortunately iPhoto disengaged from the huge third Library it had created. All along the third Library was invisible on the desktop as a folder--which is why I got into trouble. I ran out of space again and wanted to move the contents of what I now realize was a third Library to another external HD. But I couln't find that Library anywhere. Strangely, for the last three months, I did not know there were three Libraries, only two. The one iPhoto created as the third one worked perfectly when I would start up iPhoto. But now it is gone. Not even DiskWarrior can find it.

  • How can I get settings files out of the Library folder?

    I had to do a clean reinstall (erase & reinstall) to clear up some problems on my Mac. Unfortunately, when you do this, your settings, customizations, bookmarks etc. aren't transferred over as they do when you upgrade in the normal way.
    For example, dashboard widgets are in each user's <home folder>/Library/Widgets folder.
    I could restore some of these settings by dragging the settings files from the old System Folder to the new one. Unfortunately, Apple is making this harder by hiding the Library folder in the user folder, both on the Mac and on the backup drive.
    There is a command to enter in Terminal to show your Library folder, but this only seemed to work on the Mac and not on my backup drive.
    How can I get key settings files out of the Library folder on my backup drive when the Library folder is hidden?
    Thanks

    Open the enclosing folder, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, and provide Library as the path.

    How do you unhide in a Time Machine File?
    What are you trying to do?
    If in the Time Machine interface you wish to restore something in your Library, type cmd-shift-g, then type ~/Library into the path field and hit Go.
    If you are browsing the Time Machine backup using the Finder, I hope you never wanted to use that backup again as you are more than likely going to corrupt it to the point of it not working any longer. If that is the case, you can do the same thing with the Go to Folder command above, just use the full path to where your backup is mounted. The easy way to find the path would be to open another Finder window and navigate to your home folder on the backup. Drag that home folder to an empty Go to Folder path field and it will fill in the full path, then add /Library on the end.

  • No warning before moving the ~/Library folder...

    OSX 10.7.3 on Macbook Air 13.3' i5 1.7Ghz 128GB.
    Yesterday I was working on a Finder window opened on my ~/Library.
    As I accidentally dragged the icon displayed in the Title area, the OS lost my user settings...
    I quickly realized that my action caused my ~/Library folder to be moved to my ~/Desktop.
    Since the ~/Library is a hidded folder in Lion, it may not be so trivial to figure out what happens whn you move it.
    I had a CCC backup from the day before, so I restored the system with no damage.
    (I didn't try to move the Library back, and opted for the safest way)
    I wish that moving of critical system folders were signaled with a warning message, at least.

    My own Lion system did not allow this.
    I just created a new admin test account, opened a Finder window to its library, and tried to drag the library "proxy icon" at the top of that window onto the Desktop. Dragging produced only the "green plus" copy pointer, and so I could copy the Library folder but not move it, which is as it should be.
    Looking in Terminal, I found that the home Library carried a protective "everyone deny delete" ACL, as do the other default  subfolders of a new user account:
    2010-Computer:~ t1$ ls -ldeO@ ~/Library
    drwx------@ 29 t1  staff  hidden 986 Feb 27 14:01 /Users/t1/Library
        com.apple.FinderInfo     32
    0: group:everyone deny delete
    I then removed that protective ACL:
    2010-Computer:~ t1$ chmod -N ~/Library
    2010-Computer:~ t1$ ls -ldeO@ ~/Library
    drwx------@ 29 t1  staff  hidden 986 Feb 27 14:01 /Users/t1/Library
        com.apple.FinderInfo     32
    Now I could move the Library folder onto the Desktop by dragging its proxy icon (as mentioned, this was a temporary disposable test account!).
    Had you previously altered any permissions on the Library folder or on your home folder?

  • What exactly is un-needed from the Library folder?

    I just want to know what exactly is ok to delete and what is not ok to delete from my Library folder. Many things take up a lot of disk space. I know I can delete the printer drivers (2GB)... but I don't know what other stuff is unnecessary. I'm not too skilled when it comes to this kind of stuff so please help me out. I want to clear out as much un-needed stuff as possible. Here are the biggest folders in my Library folder.
    - Application Support folder (3.94GB) [required or not?]
    - Audio folder (2.49GB) [required or not?]
    - Documentation (355.9MB) [required or not?]
    - Receipts (125.4MB) [required or not?]
    Thank you!

    I personally would not start with the Library folder to start trying to make space, unless you really know what you use. Application Support for example, depends on what applications you use or don't use.
    Having said that, you can try this page:

    I've heard others using Monolingual (which they mention) to remove unneccessary language packs with no problem, I'm keeping all mine just in case .
