What sets the 'Kind' column in Finder windows?

Since installing Snow leopard, I have been finding that just inserting a flash card containing Olympus raw image files into a USB card reader and displaying the contents, shows a strange phrase in the Kind column: "Lightzone transform format".
Lightzone is one of several photo processing applications in my Applications folder, but the same column used to show the more general "Olympus raw file" in the Kind column.
This is causing me trouble when I set iPhoto to use an external editor.

I tried this, and first I was encouraged, and then I was disappointed.
I shut down all running programs and then did the terminal operation you recommended. Then I restarted.
I then put a flash card in a reader abnd opened it in the Finder. I was relieved to see that the Kind column read "Olympus raw file" as it should. I then set up iPhoto to use Olympus Stdio 2 as the external editor. I imported this set of image files (all of them on the card) into iPhoto, and then double-clicked one.
I saw a message window with the following: The document P1234.ORF could not be opened. Olympus Studio 2 cannot open files in the "Preview.app Document" format.
This turn of events was the whole reason that I needed to correct this symptom (the wrong label in the Kind column, I thought). Note that I had in the past used the Information panel on a .ORF file to change 'Open with' to preview.app. but I had hoped that this Terminal operation would have kept this from propagating to these new files, that had never been opened in Preview, but only imported ointo iPhoto.

File association and the Kind column in Finder. Bug?

Some time ago I installed BBEdit - an application for editing web source code such as JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
Post install, I noted that Finder showed in the Kind column "BBEdit text document". This was entirely correct and as expected.
I have now uninstalled BBEdit (decided not to buy it) as follows:-
Moved the application to Trash
Removed ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit
Removed ~/Library/Preferences/com.barebones.bbedit.*
I then noticed that the Kind column in Finder still indicated "BBEdit text document" for files with .js, .css and .html extensions.
This seemed wrong (obviously) so I tried this...
Right-click on a .js file and hold Option key to reveal "Always open with". I selected Dashcode.
Now the situation is quite bizarre...
When I double-click any .js file to open it, Dashcode runs. That is a good thing.
However, the Finder Kind column still indicates "BBEdit text document".
Why?

How about if you right click (control click) in the column header area to open the drop down menu. Can you get back to the default KInd.
if Kind is checked, uncheck it. Relaunch Finder. >ForceQuit>Finder>Relaunch
Then go back to the drop down and recheck your column for Kind.

German terms under "Kind" column in Find window

Under the "Kind" column in the Find window (not Spotlight), I see the following terms: "Dokument," JPEG-Bild," "Reiner Text." These all sound German to me & I have no problem with that. Is there some special reason for using these German terms instead of English? "Bild" I know means "picture" in German. What's "Reiner Text"? Anyone know?

How to set the title of an urxvt window?

Hello,
I have read the manpage and FAQ on the urxvt website, but my problem persists:
When I try to set the title of an urxvt window, for example:
$ urxvt -title test
then the new window shows for a second the title "test" and then switches to "username@hostname:~".
Yes, I have
case $TERM in
xterm*|*rxvt*|Eterm|eterm|rxvt-unicode|urxvt)
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"'
screen)
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033_${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\033\\"'
esac
in my .bashrc.
But I think, the explicit command line option "-title" should break the .bashrc, right?
The default setting by .bashrc is intentional, but in this specific case I would like to set the window title by hand.
How can I do that?
Last edited by indianahorst (2011-06-22 11:01:34)

I would recommend that you not use the PROMPT_COMMAND to set your bash prompt at all. Use the PS1 environment variable. By using PROMPT_COMMAND, you are invoking a subshell each time you hit return; which is most likely unnecessary.
In fact, you are probably already setting PS1 in your .bashrc; and that is what is changing your window title. You can set PS1 to a different value, and then it will not reset your window title with each command.
Just set PS1 in your .bashrc to:
PS1="[\u@\h \W]\$ "
You can see a more complete list of the available \u, \H, etc. options here.
If you do wish to reset the urxvt window title by setting PS1, do the following:
PS1="[\u@\h \W]\$ "
PS1="\[\e]2;\u \W\a\]$PS1"
Edit: As I look at this a little closer, I see that your PROMPT_COMMAND is indeed setting your window title. You could change it to the following:
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}"'
But I would still not use PROMPT_COMMAND and just set PS1 instead.

I enabled the "kind" column and saw different file formats - Why?

I just happened to enable the "kind" column in Itunes and see my songs have several different file extensions such as AAC Audio file, MPEG Audio file, Protected AAC Audio File, Purchased AAC Audio File,and WAV audio file.
Is this O.K.? What does the file type mean to me?

Yes, it's OK.
Protected AAC Audio means itunes purchase with DRM,
Purchased AAC Audio means itunes Plus without DRM,
MPEG audio means MP3,
WAV means just that, WAV
Here is a wiki on audio file formats to get you started, if you want to learn more.

What is the plan for 64-bit Windows?

The 11G Express Edition Beta installed without warnings or errors on a Windows 7 64-bit virtual machine. However after install, the following error appears multiple times in the alert log:
OER 7451 in Load Indicator : Error Code = OSD-04500: illegal option specified
O/S-Error: (OS 1) Incorrect function. !
This error is repeats every 10 seconds in the alert log.
I understand that this is most likely because of the 64-bit OS. However, it is almost impossible to buy a Windows system today that is not 64-bit. If the plan is to only provide 11G Express Edition Beta in a 32-bit version for Windows, I think it should at least install and run properly in 32-bit mode on current 64-bit Windows operating systems. Or is a 64-bit version for Windows in the works?
Thanks! It is great to see some progress on 11G Express!

I probably obscured my question with the alert log error code. I changed the subject to my real question: What is the plan for 64-bit Windows?
Since almost all windows systems are rapidly moving to 64-bit, will 11G Express be made available in a package (either 32-bit or 64-bit) which installs and runs correctly on a 64-bit windows system? Should we report 64-bit related bugs seen with the 32-bit install package so they can be fixed or is a 64-bit package coming? Thanks!

I don't dispute that you can do the install of 11G Express on a 64-bit Windows OS. It even appears to complete successfully. The database opens and you can connect to it.
However I seriously question if the underlying database processes are running correctly. My alert log is filled with hundreds of the errors that I listed in my original post.
If you have posted that you have a successful install on 64-bit Windows, could you please check your alert log and let us know if you are seeing errors, or if everything is running correctly. The alert log is the main error log for the database. You can find it in C:\OracleXE\app\oracle\diag\rdbms\xe\xe\trace\alert_xe.log. Open this file in notepad and check for errors.
Based on the errors that I am seeing, I ask again: What is the plan for 64-bit Windows? Does anyone from Oracle moderate this forum? Is 11G XE supposed to run correctly on 64-bit Windows, or what is the plan for supporting the almost universal move to 64-bit windows operating systems?
Thanks!

Is there anyway to tell what is the database column behind the form field (

Is there anyway to tell what is the database column behind the form field (in Oracle financials).

If you are lucky, it can be simple, but if you are unlucky, it can be very complicated.
Using Help > Diagnostics > Examine when in the field will give you the name of the field.
Help > Diagnostics > Examine (Block: SYSTEM / Field: LAST_QUERY) will give you the query for the last block queried, which may or may not be the block you want, depending on how the form is defined (ie Master Detail relationships). If this is for the correct block and the field name is one of the columns returned by the query, then that is probably your answer.
If the Last Query is not for the correct block, using Help > Record History will give you the table or view that the block is based on (only where there is already a record in the block).
If the field name matches a column name in the table or view, then that is probably where it comes from. If there is no matching column name in the table or view, then the field is probably not queried directly from the database as part of the main query - it is probably populated by logic in the form, like the POST-QUERY trigger on the block. This means you need to open the form in Forms Builder to find what is populating your field (Program > Find and Replace PL/SQL is very handy for this).

Why can't I get any devices to show in the sidebar of a finder window?

Until recently I had devices (hard drives, DVD's, disk images, etc show up under devices in the sidebar of a finder window. Now none of these items show up. In Finder Preferences>Sidebar>Devices I nave all 4 checked (Bob's Mac Pro, Hard disks, External disks and CDs, DVDs and iPods). I tried rebooting. I tried unchecking the 4 boxes and rechecking them to no avail. It's annoying that I have to find an icon on the desktop to open these items. Any suggestions?
This is a Mac Pro running 10.9.5.

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.sidebarlists.plist. Move the .plists to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plists from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plists to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Go to your home screen, and then press the volume down or up button. It should say Ringer instead of volume. If it doesn't do that, try going into the clock app and try it there.

You can specify the path to the file as a system property
          eg
          java -Dconfig.file.location=./mydirecotry/myfile.txt com.test.MyApp

Is there a folder limit in the sidebar of a finder window?

Is there a limit to the number of folders one can put in the sidebar of a finder window? For example, I am supportng a user that currently has 47 folders in the sidebar, and would like to add more, but she can only insert them at a certain point in the list (after this point the finder will just not allow you to add anything to the sidebar). If a folder is inserted, other folders don't disappear, they just get moved down, which is why I'm thinking it's not a hard limit. The point at which the finder won't insert new items is fairly random as well, but above this point is never a problem.
Is there a way around this? IS it a pref problem? I didn't try moving her prefs file(s) because she has an important function at my company and can't afford much downtime.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi jkrish,
Based on my research, a table is limited by available client and server memory (or browser page size constraints) theoretically. If you are on a 32-bit machine, the worker process that is processing this has less than 2 gigabytes of memory to work with,
probably closer to 1 gigabyte when you factor in kernel mode memory. If you are going to be serving up large reports like this, you probably need a 64-bit setup with at least 4 gigs of memory or more on the box. This setup will allow the worker process to
allocate more than 2 gigs of usable memory to complete these large requests without issue.
Furthermore, adding page breaks can improve the performance of published reports because only the items on each page have to be processed as you view the report. So in order to reduce the report process time, I suggest that you can try to add page break.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

     accessor = LookupService.getDataBaseAccessor(channel);
     resultSet = accessor.execute(query);
     for(Iterator rows = resultSet.getRows();rows.hasNext();){
          Map rowMap = (Map)rows.next();

What is the best way to run windows on my Mac? And What are the pitfalls I should watch for?

What is the best way to run windows on my Mac? What are the pitfalls/

If you need Windows as your main operating system you would be better off buying a Real Windows PC.
Running windows on a Mac is always a compromise. Whether in a Boot Camp partition or in a Virtual Machine.
In boot camp you can't easily Re-Partition and or Re-Size the drive it is installed on. You can't use both graphics cards as Apple has limited Windows to use the discrete graphics only, that is if your mac has 2 graphics cards (15" MBPs), which will shorten the battery run time in Windows.
The trackpad only has limited functions in Windows, less then is available on the Mac side and a real Windows PC.

What sets the 'Kind' column in Finder windows?
