What is the list of file prefixes that make a file appear first in the finder?

Hi!
I was just curious :
What is the list of file prefixes that make a file appear first in the finder?
For example, files and folders whose names start with "A" will appear before files whose names start with "B",
but what about a list of characters for files and folders before the letter "A"?
I'm doing some file organisation, and I need certain things to appear at the top of the list.
I have noticed that the character-prefixes "0" and "(" seem to make things appear before "A"
I would like a complete list if there is one available.
Thank you!

Pretty much any number or a space character. Punctuation does too, in theory, but I'd advise to limit it to hyphens and underscores. Periods are OK in the middle of file names but you won't be able to start a file name with one at the Finder level since that would actually hide the file.

  • How do I get rid of the list of web sites that I visited. I was unable to follow instructions in the help section.

    '''bold text'''When I click the little down arrow at the end of the address line, I get a long list of sites I visted. How do I get rid of them.
    I went to help, but i could not make heads or tails of what I was supposed to do. The instructions were confusing.

    Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks.<br />
    You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.<br />
    This will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.<br />

  • I have just purchased the new Canon 7D II.  I am using CS6 and Lightroom 5.0, neither of which can open the RAW files although I see from the list of supported cameras that the 7D II is covered.  I have updated both CS6 and LR so that is not the problem.

    It has been indicated that both of those cameras will be supported in the final release of Camera Raw 8.7. But there is no announced release date. There never is. I assume it will be before December 31. But that is only my guess based on the fact that the release candidate expires then.

  • When I open up an e-mail attachment a box pops up PRINT TO FILE below that line OUTPUT FILE NAME with an empty line for the file name vs. simply going to my default printer?

    Make sure that '''''Print to File''''' isn't selected in the native print dialog box ''(see screenshot below)'' middle-right, and make sure your Printer is selected at the top of that dialog box.

  • Library filters: can I add to the list of metadata fields that I can search by?

    Is it possible to add to the list of metadata fields that lightroom can search for images by?
    I know about the 'Any searchable ... ' but that does now allow me to search for specific conditions -
    I am using some of the IPTC fields as a way to classify images of mine for various purposes and would like to
    do something like search for images where the iptc source field has a certain value while the instructions
    fields has some other value. I do not think this is possible using the available tools.
    So, I'd like to be able to add these fields to the menu of possible fields in Smart collections
    of the library metadata filter.
    So, am I missing something obvious? Can this be done?
    Cheers,
    Bonny

    Hi Rob,
    Thanks for this plug in - it's really great.
    The fields I'm looking for are part of the IPTC fields, and since I'm entering them in LR, they're not part of the image,
    and I assume not something that exiftool can find in the image. So unfortunately I do not think I can use this plugin
    for the actual purpose I'm intending.
    I'll shed some light on what I'm doing and therefore what I'm looking for:
    I have a collection of images (of people) that I need to match names to.
    I use some IPTC fields (that are otherwise useless for me) to store this data.
    These fields are the "Job Identifier", "Instructions", "Creditline" and "Source" in the IPTC tagset.
    At  some point I then want to look for errors in the data entry, etc and so I need to search for various
    values of those fields for validation purposes mainly.
    I created a tagset using Jeffrey's plugin and it allows me to view and use only the info I'm after, but no searching.
    Your plugin provides more complete functionality (tagset creation as well as the searchability). The only question
    is how do I go about using your plugin to use the fields I'm using?
    Cheers,
    Bonny

  • I can't find the List All Tabs button that's supposed to be at the top to yourright

    I'm trying to install the Tab Groups that you recommended. But I simply can't find the List All Tabs button that was supposed to be at the top right. it just says open all bookmarks. I've read through all the instructions and I can't find the button, so I can't continue. Is there a Tab Groups apps that I need to download first?? I've tried searching for that too, but there seems to be none. Please get back to me :) -Christine

    On the tabs toolbar the '''List all tabs drop-down is almost invisible''' especially if you have "Tabs on Top" until you pass the cursor over it -- even with the cursor on top of it it is still hard to see.
    The '''List All Tabs button''' is just a drop-drop down arrow when all the tabs bar, if you don't see it -- look in Customize (View>Toolbars>Customize), and drag the "List All Tabs" button up to the right hand end of the tabs bar.
    You can put Tabs back to being just above the web page content at the bottom of the toolbars with View > Toolbars > (uncheck) Tabs on Top and the button will show up better on a lighter background.
    You can use a Style to make the button more visible with a larger drop-down arrow and a background color.
    If you don't already have the "Stylish" Extension (258.0 KB), first install it. The extension is quite large, but the styles you install are very small, most consist of only a few lines of styling code.

  • Hi. Does anyone know how to delete my guest network from the list of network choices that everyone in the neighborhood sees when picking a network?  Followed helpful suggestions on this site to delete the netwk but it still appears.  Appreciate any help!

    Hi.  I'm trying to make my guest network disappear from the list of network choices that appears to everyone in the neighborhood.  Even though I followed the great suggestions on how to delete the network, it's still appearing in the list that everyone sees.  It has my name and would prefer to get rid of it.
    Please help!  Many thanks!

    Thank you for not only the tip but also especially the research showing that for anybody other that those using Wi-Fi for the first time the network wouldn't disappear.  I wanted it to disappear for everyone so.....I finally solved it by resetting the Airport Extreme to the factory settings and starting over from scratch!  It worked! Yay!!!!!
    So, for everyone that has had this problem (and I've read many of the same complaints in different places on the Internet), you must go into Airport Utility and check the box stating that you want to reset it to the factory settings.  Do not do it with a paper clip and the reset button on the box; I tried that first and it did not work.  You must reset it via the Airport Utility.  Then just start over and you will have the choice to NOT check the box to Enable Guests.  If you want to enable guests, just be sure not to use your name or you're back to the same problem. Apple is so great with everything...wouldn't it have been so easy for them to just put this in the manual somewhere?????  Thanks for all your help.    Hope this helps others!

  • Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

    Hi Apple community,
    This is my first go at this so be kind,
    My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
    My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
    My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
    My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
    Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

    That message is listed in two scripts on the bank's site. One function that can display the message is named PhotoRotator and the other is named PromoRotator. However, I can't seem to trigger the error myself.

  • Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

    Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

    Thanks Kelly,
    The answers would be the following:
    1200 cells per custom section (NEW COUNT), and up to 30 custom sections per spec.
    Assuming all will be populated, and this would apply to all final material specs in the system which could be ~25% of all material specs.
    The cells will be numeric, free text, drop downs, and some calculated numeric.
    Are we reaching the limits for UI performance?
    Thanks
