Viewing in Finder

I am going to reformat to install 10.5 and want to make sure my pictures are backed up. In the past iPhoto would create the folders for my photos under the Pictures folder. Now when I go there I only see one file called iPhoto Library Volumn 1. Have they changed the way photos are stored in the current version?
It seems like I can use Spotlight to find individual files but cannot get to them in the Finder. In the end I want to feel really comfortable that they are backed up safely. I am using Apple's Backup. How can I verify?

Back up the item as a unit; it was changed to a package in iPhoto 08 to reduce the chance of people damaging the iPhoto library by moving items around outside of iPhoto. If you really want to see the individual photos, control-click it and choose Show Package Contents from the menu which appears.

  • How to add custom columns to the list view in Finder

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a way to view additional file details in the list view in Finder, for example audio bit rate, so I don't have to do "Get Info" for each file separately. I couldn't find a way to add columns other than the ones listed on the view options dialog.
    Can anyone help me find a way to do it?
    Thanks,
    Tal

    Have you checked the Help menu for what you want to do? I found this in Apple support - List View Options
    Check the AppleScript Forums. There is probably a script that you can use.

  • Has anyone else been unable to click [open] a document folder while in the column view in finder?

    Since I have downloaded Mavericks, I am unable to open any document folder in the column view in finder.  When i go to any other view such as cover flow or list, they open.  But when it is in the column view, I am unable to click any folder - or any document for that matter. Can anyone help or atleast tell me I'm not the only one?
    Mike

    okay i figured it out. for some reason i had to go to the settings menu and click arrange by name and it automaticaly fixed it. it was weird all of the names were gray, and the color tags were to the left of the folder titles.  i hope this helps if any of you had that problem too.

  • Icon view in Finder windows do not autowrap

    I am using 10.5.1 on a 17" MBP 2.16 ghz.
    Since installing Leopard, Icon view in Finder windows do not autowrap and Finder windows do not always remember their display preferences.
    The Trash auto-wraps (the icons spread to take up the entire window if it is enlarged) But Opening a Folder in my default list view and switching to Icon view and then enarging the window only shows icons in the original window width. EG, If it were 3 colums of icons, it stays 3 columns of icons unless I use Clean Up TWICE and then I get 10 columns of icons which will wrap.
    Is this a Leopard BUG or a local problem. Any suggestions on fixing it?
    TIA,
    Bill

    Yeh - though I use cmd-J which I have used since it appeared, 10.1?
    But I just solved my problem. In my use as defaults selection, I had Snap to Grid selected in the arrange by pop-up rather than by Name.
    Selecting Name and clicking on Use as Defaults makes things work as expected.
    Thanks for making me look closely!
    Cheers,
    Bill

  • Strange view in Finder...

    Hello everyone,
    I do not know how it happen, but i've got this view in Finder.
    And it was not possible to return it back by swiping the view by 2fingers swipe, and other options like changing the view didn't work until i closed the current finder window and opened new one.
    Previous actions before it happened were: I was attaching the image file to my web-post. 

    I tried to find out how it occurs..
    Actually it happens when drag and drop picture to some programs in the dock, i tried with Safari.

  • Thumbnail view in Finder

    Is therea thumbnail/preview view in Finder. I found the column view which will preview a selected document. I'm looking for a view that will display thumbnail previews of all documents in a folder, just by viewing the folder.

    If there are images such as Jpegs you can usually view them in Icon mode (right of the column view on the top nav bar). If you need them to be bigger go to the
    Finder menu: --> View --> Show View options (apple + J) --> Icon Size.
    Just remember that all of your icons will be enlarged. And you will have to do the reverse (also in the main finder window) to change them back.

  • Application Category view in Finder

    I rather like the Application category view in Finder but it is not currently of much use because so many of my applications fall into the 'Other' category.
    I assume this is an attribute of the file and can be found and changed somehow.
    Does anyone know where this metadata is stored and how to change it?
    Cheers,
    Phill

    Hi dB,
    Thanks for this. Now just the final piece of the jigsaw to find out what reloads the Finder view to pick up the new category. If anyone can help that would be great. I have tried rebooting so it isn't that.
    Cheers,

  • How can I set a customized view in finder set as standard for ALL folders?

    As I have a large number of folders, I need a specific view in finder: symbol view, sort by program and name. I tried to use this settings as standard for ALL folders, but using the 'set as standard' button does only work for the folder I am in, but not for ALL folders. I even tried to use this settings on the hard disk level in finder, but what ever I tried, it never applies to all folders. The problem occurs on each of my devices and on Yosemite OS 10.10.1. as well as Mavericks 10.9.5. Any ideas on how I can make the 'standard' work on all folders?

    As Vinod says, unique key validator would be fine.
    However, In Gabriel's blog:
    Performing a unique key validation for an attribute that is declared to be unique in the database requires a round trip to the database. This is quite expensive and there is a fast and easy way to work around it.Is false on several fronts:
    1). it's not expensive - it's actually cheaper than the alternative
    2). Unique key validator can require many trips to the DB to validate - it must check all other rows in the EO to ensure there is no duplicate, and all of those rows must be fetched into the middle tier to do the validation: this is expensive.
    The "cheapest" way to do this: unique constraint in the DB

  • Image view in finder - weird results

    Hi.
    I have a jpg which when viewed using Finder, it shows a different image than when i use preview, photoshop etc to view it.
    You can view it here:
    http://www.reddonkey.co.uk/wires.jpg
    Anyone know why it does this. Something to do with how the file has been constructed? The finder preview looks like a raw format.
    Thanks
    M

    mfos (and all others...),
    be careful with this jpg.
    It seems to be corrupted. (I have had a minor bug with it)
    (What about the info in GraphicConverter? an other preview or two is possible...)

  • How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder

    How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder
    In simple terms, I wanted to view the photos in Windows system, similar strcture of iPhotos

    If you want to copy all of your photos to a Windows machine and have them in folders representing the iPhoto Events the were in quickly and easily just do the following:
    1  - open the library with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:
    2 - COPY the Originals/Masters folder to the Desktop.
    3 - copy the Originals/Masters folder to the Windows machine.
    This will give you all of your original image file in their Event folder on the Windows machine.
    NOTE:  With iPhoto 8 or newer the Event folders in the Masters folder will be titled by date (EXIF) if imported from a camera.  If imported from a folder the event folder will have the same title as the source folder.  If imported singularly or in a group without a folder the title will be a date, either the EXIF date or import date.
    With iPhoto 7 (08) and earlier the Event folders in the Originals folder will have the same title as the Event has in the library.
    This method would be quicker but not provide the additional metadata you might have added in iPhoto like keywords, titles, descriptions that exporting out of iPhoto with Format=JPEG and the checkboxes selected to include keywords, titles, places, etc, checked.

    Hello Najla,
    I recommend to post this query to the [Integration Kit forum|BusinessObjects Integration Kits;.
    That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
