View all folders "as list"
Whenever I open up a new folder it shows all the contents as icons, and I have to change it to list view.
Does anyone know how to make the default folder view "as list"?
Thanks!
Considering that the Windows file browser defaults to Icon or Column view I'd think you would be most used to that. You can set Column view as the global default using the Preferences selection from the Finder's Finder menu.

Unable to view all folders within exlpo
I have a Zen Sleek player and I have 4 main folders under the root directory. I am able to see and play everything just fine within the player but when I go to view the folders within windows explorer I only see of the 4 folders.
I have performed the disk clean option which re-built my music library and rebooted my PC and it still is not working.
It takes a long time to copy all the files over and create new playlists so before I end up re-formatting my player I am wondering if anyone can give me some help on fixing this.
Thanks in advanceThere's not much you can do unfortunately, a disk cleanup is about it, short of the format.

How to collapse all folders in list view
If you search on this topic, there are many discussions about it without a real solution. The challenge is the following: you have a list view of many folders, some of which are expanded, and some are not ( to expand/collapse a folder you click on the little triangle by the name of the folder ). Lilke many users on the apple discussions I wanted to collapse all of them with one action instead of clicking on each folder individually.
I found a solution on superuser.com: first, in the list view, select all with command-A, and then press Command-(left arrow). To expand all, do Command-A followed by Command-(right arrow).
I hope that helps, and my apologies if this solution has been given before, but I didn't find it with my 5 minute search.Thank you very much! Exactly the solution I was searching for. Aloha!

Changing all folders to List view in Finder: How to?
I'm trying to accomplish what I assumed would be a simple task...
I want the view of every folder, when opened in the Finder, to be List view. All new folders... all the existing folders... everything.
I want it to forget all about any current settings or other defaults, and force everything into List view.
Is this possible? I'm perfectly willing to dive into the Terminal to delete .DS_Store files or perform whatever brutality needs to occur.
Thanks!
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)Derek,
Ah, I think I see your problem now. Actually, you are dreaming of the one thing that is, in fact, difficult. You see, every new folder is created (and will always be created, no matter what we do) with Icon View set as the default. This can be overidden by selecting "Always open in Column View," which doesn't necessarily force every window to open that way, but goes a long way towards achieving that end (over time, it works).
Forcing every window into list view is a little more difficult. It is simple enough to make all of your own folders show this view, as only a single "tease" should be necessary for a folder that you own (you can just get in the habit of making this change each time a new folder is created, which normally isn't that often for most of us). Any changes we make to our own folders should "stick" as a matter of course.
The problem is getting all of the root-owned folders to which we navigate frequently to do the same. You probably went a long way toward achieving that end by simply deleting all of the .DS_Store files. The .DS_Store file for a particular folder will be owned by the first user to navigate that folder in the Finder. If that user is you, you will own the file, not root. So, having deleted those files, you gave yourself the opportunity to "assume control" of those directories. Keep in mind that if the folder is owned by root, with a group ownership of "admin," you must be an admin user to be able to write a .DS_Store file to that directory. I assume that you are using an admin account(??).
At this point, I would suggest that you just start navigating your file system and changing directories. If you did not do so as root after having deleted the .DS_Store files, you should be able to make the necessary changes as yourself. Provided you have assumed control of the .DS_Store files, you should only have to make changes once.
Of course, you will still have to click that little button one time for each new folder you create. Apple has gone a long way toward making the interface as flexible as possible (nobody else does it as well, mind you), but as they say, "you can't make everybody happy all of the time." It is an ideal only to be strived for, never to be reached.

I open the 'view options', select the mode of viewing I want, click the 'always open in' and push the use as defaults button... this, by all accounts, should work to apply this mode of viewing to ALL my folders and subfolders... yet it does not.
I've had to work on this a little before it "stuck" to my preference; it appears that if you open a folder within a folder and set the option, it will apply to that and any within that, but not up a level. So you need to make sure you have it set at the top folder level and you have it set like this:
Also, if you have a folder in the dock, you will need to either control click it or - in my case I want column view - you need to Command click the folder and it'll open in column view. I've not liked this "feature" since it was changed in Snow Leopard; previously, you could just click on the folder and it would open the way you had it set. -
Restrict user to view All folders in WebI
Hi,
I am using BO4.1, we have many report folders. We want to restrict users to have view access to only one specific folder.
Users dont have rights to view reports of other folder.
Please guide me steps to apply this restriction.
Warm regards,
SonalHi Sonal,
I think the problem is with the Access level for that particular user.Just check whether the rights are not inherited from any group.
OR
You can try following steps:
1. Recreate the user.
2.Go to that particular folder which you want to grant View.
3.Right click and go to user_security -> Everyone -> select the user -> View security -> add principle -> available access level -> grant "view/full control" whatever grant you want to assign.
Now he can only view/modify that particular folder.
For more help check the topic in Admin Guide.

Can I set all folders to the same column with in Finder list view?
I set Finder to display 4 columns in list view: Name, Date Modified, Size, Kind. Is there a way to apply the width of those columns to all folders? Column width is not affected by the option "use as defaults" in the view options.
I've just seen that somebody else asked the same question lately:

Setting a default folder view for all folders in Windows 7
How do you set up a default folder view of "List" for ALL the folders in Windows 7 including the optical drive?
ArtooI just installed windows 7. Are you seriously telling me that i now have all folders with mp3s in them AUTOMAGICALLY (THANKS FOR THE HANDY HELPING HAND THERE MICROSOFT!!!) set to some designers whim of what an mp3 folder "SHOULD" look like?
Well i was going to write a big rant, and indeed did, but then i was doing some more research and it seems like i just made everyones day and solved the problem (partially). Or well THIS guy did:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16694/customize-the-five-windows-folder-templates/
After you’ve clicked OK, visit some of the other folders in your file system. You should see that most have taken on these new settings.
What we’ve just done, in effect, is we have customized the General Items template. This is one of five templates that Windows Explorer uses to display folder contents. The five templates are called (in Windows 7):
General Items
Documents
Pictures
Music
Videos
When a folder is opened, Windows Explorer examines the contents to see if it can automatically determine which folder template to use to display the folder contents. If it is not obvious that the folder contents falls into any of the last four templates,
then Windows Explorer chooses the General Items template. That’s why most of the folders in your file system are shown using the General Items
template.
Changing the Other Four Templates
If you want to adjust the other four templates, the process is very similar to what we’ve just done. If you wanted to change the “Music” template, for example, the steps would be as follows:
Select a folder that contains music items
Apply the existing Music template to the folder (even if it doesn’t look like you want it to)
Customize the folder to your personal preferences
Apply the new template to all “Music” folders
A fifth step would be: When you open a folder that contains music items but is not automatically displayed using the Music template, you manually select the Music template for that folder.
Anyways, sorry that explanation doesnt do it justice. I have spent waaay too much time trying to figure this out already. Also that link doesnt say how to 1) copy templates (are they file or registry based?, didnt do research) 2) if you can distable templates
or the automatic re-templating of folders.
THAT is what i want to know! as it is much more maintance then its actually worth...
but once i had set 5 default types to, the exact same thing... it now doesnt matter if it automagically switches it. SUCK IT MS AUTOTUNE!!!
Its bloody hard to frame this question too. What can you say about this? "folder changes to mp3" "customize folder types windows 7" "windows 7 folder changes to mp3" "dont automatically change folders to mp3" "how
to change mp3 details column for good" "automatically change column order win 7 mp3"
The search that actually solved it:
"do not apply default template to mp3 windows 7"
good luck, this worked for me!
EDIT: also i just noticed that neonr already answered this above. i just didnt read it carefully enough. anyways i guess i will leave this and mark his as answer. -
Expanding Folders in "list" view mode.
How can I expand as well as close folders when viewing them in the "list" view mode, all in one stroke as opposed to having to expand each folder one at a time?
Neither did I until XChip73 asked the question. I decided to see if the Mac OS X programmers had put that functionality into the Finder. A little experimentation found that they had.
In any case you are quite welcome captfred. What are you captain of? -
All folders - view permissions
I'm trying to grant users the minimum permissions they need to work with their reports. Granting Full Control permission on the folder containing their reports doesn't seem to work, because without View on the All Folders list, they can't even see the folder to access the reports. However, if I grant View on All Folders, they have access to all the folders until I go through and explicitly remove them. Am I missing something, or is this the way it's supposed to work?
Thanks.
Edit: Oh, I see -- I was misreading the "inherit from parent" checkboxes. If I turn those off, they only apply to the folder I'm setting them for, which is the behavior I wanted. Thanks anyway!
Edited by: Garrett Fitzgerald on Apr 20, 2009 1:22 PMNo, that's not right. Damn. Sorry. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: Ok, got it that time. I wasn't telling it to only apply "View" to the current object.

Mac does not list all folders in a SMB share
Hi guys, this is a bit of a weird one and I've tried everything I can think of.
In our house we have a media centre running Windows 7. It has several shares, one of which we'll call folder "X". Folder X opens correctly on the media centre, and any other Windows machine perfectly. Almost every other machine in the house is running OS X 10.6, and one of my housemates today noted that some of the folders inside of folder X were not listed on a Mac. So far we've tested it on 2 Macs and 2 Windows machines, and everytime the Windows machine lists all folders inside of X, where the Mac does not. The weird thing is, it's cutting them out alphabetically, so it's basically from D through to I that are missing, all in all there are 30 (out of 160) folders missing inside of Folder X...here's what I've tried.
On the Windows 7 machine:
-Restarted server service
-Removed Share X and re-added
-Checked share permissions on folder X
-Checked permissions on folder X, propagated to all child folders just in case.
-Restarted machine after every change.
On the Macs we haven't really tried much as there's not much we can think to change. We've tried Finder, Path Finder (which I'm guessing will be exactly the same), restarting, removing from workgroup and re-adding...I can't think what would cause such a weird problem.
To make things harder we don't know exactly when it started happening but the OSX machines definitely used to list the folders and it happens on more than one mac. which I guess makes me think it's something on the Windows client. The 30 folders are not using any nonstandard characters, some are only a few letters long.
Ideas on a postcard!?Reporting the same problem.
1. Have Windows 7 MediaCenter with file sharing set up properly (LM+NTLM Authentication allowed and 128-bit encryption disabled in security policies).
2. Test folder ("C:\income") and all the subfolders' owner is 'Guest', full access is granted for everyone.
3. Connecting to MediaCenter from MacBook with Finder by pressing Cmd+K and typing smb://ip-addr/income
4. Finder connects successfully, but some sub-folders and files are not being listed.
Workaround:
5. You can open a not-listed folder directly by pressing Cmd+K and typing smb://ip-addr/income/some-invisible-folder
6. Voila! You're inside invisible folder.
In the meantime, i can see all the sub-folders on a Windows XP client machine, so i can make a conclusion that all of these 'invisible' sub-folders are actually accessible by Finder, but in some reason are just not being listed on Mac. -
ICal for iPhone. View all events as a list without having to type into the earth box.
iCal for iPhone. View all events as a list without having to type into the earth box.
On the previous software version I used to be able to view all my calendar events as a list by clicking on the magnifying glass. Now you have to type into the search dialog box for a list to populate. This is very frustrating and annoying because I much prefer the list format to populate everything unless I specify what I am looking for into the search box. Is there a way to view all the events as a list without having to type anything into the search box?And you are aware of the possible options for listing the months and having an optional export value for each month.
For listing the months, you can use a number, a 3 character string, or the full name.
For the export value, the full name, the 3 character value, the 1-2 number, or the 0-11 JavaScript value.
I would look at deciding how you want to populate the drop down box and build a one page form with just this field. You can then insert that page into a PDF and copy the field as needed and then delete the inserted page. Or you could create an FDF file to create the drop down box. -

Image instead of List Name, and hyperlink the image to view 'All Items.aspx' page
Hi,
I would like remove the Page title for list (i.e., name of the list in view all items.aspx page) , and instead use image and hyperlink the image
to 'All items.aspx" page.
Using developer tool found the element (#PageTitle) and added 'Script Editor' webpart and below css script to it. I am successful in replace the
title to image, however, I am unable to add the HTML tag for hyperlink. Where do I need to add or how do I add? Could anyone help me please??
<style type="text/css">
#pageTitle
background-image: url('http://w2k81368:2116/SiteAssets/Test.jpg');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
text-indent: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
</style>
Regards,
SunithaHi Sunitha,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the list title to an image.
I recommend to add the code below to the list page:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function (){
var s = "<img alt='SP' src='http://w2k81368:2116/SiteAssets/Test.jpg'>";
var $t = $("#DeltaPlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea span span a");
$t.html(s);
</script>
After that, the list title will change to the image and it will show allitems.aspx page when clicking the image.
Thanks,
Victoria
