When I select a folder in column view, finder immediately jumps to that column

is there a way to stop this behavior? When I am browsing in column view and click on a folder to see what's in it, finder immediately jumps to that column, shifting the parent column to the left. If I click and drag a file to a parent column, finder jumps to that column, puts the file in alphabetical order, and jumps to where the file is in that column list. This may be nowhere near the folder that it came from. If I am in a column with a lot of files/folders, I then can't see the folder where I took it from. The benefit of column view is being able to see all these levels at once - the jumping around takes that away and is visually very distracting. I often want to reorganize files within certain folders and this makes it difficult and is very annoying. It sometimes takes a while to retrace my steps and figure out where it came from. I think it's more of an issue on small displays - I have an 11" Macbook Air mid 2011/lion. I think this started with Snow Leopard, but I'm not sure - I would like to find a way to disable this behavior go back to the old way where the columns stay stationary and I can look/move around the way I want to. FYI I do have spring-loaded folders unchecked. Thanks for any help.

  • For some reason, my compression option is grayed out under "File" menu, and when I select a folder with multiple files, or multiple documents, and try to right-click or tap the mousepad with two fingers, I do not get a "compress" option available. Help.

    I don't know why, but when I select a folder with multiple docs contained within it, or multiple files, the Compress option is grayed out under the File menu, nor is it available when I right-click. Please help.

    Yes it is, but I have the same problem of the option does not appear with "right click" (I'm actually control-clicking), and COMPRESS is grayed out under the file menu. I'd like to fix it.
    Hmm. After finding the Archive Utility,* I tried archiving the folder. It came out as .cpgz, ugh. Found there was a preference to make .zip the default. It worked!
    And now…the menus are not grayed out. ?!?! OK.'

  • I want to create an external video widget with iAd. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.

    i want to create an external video widget with iAd to use in an iBook. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.
    hope someone can help!

    May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget.  I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field,  the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
    It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you. 
    Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

  • When expanding folder in list view, finder always go to top. How to stop it?

    How to make finder not going to top back again whenever expanding a folder in list view? It just like clicking go to top on a website. i have a lot of subfolder, but when i expand it, finder show back the top list folder(zuupp to the top, grrr!!!), it so annoying to scroll back down just to get back where the last folder expand.

  • Sometimes when I roll the cursor across a bookmark, my browser jumps to that web page without me clicking on it. Is there any way to turn this function off?

    On occasion I will roll my cursor across a bookmark and my browser will take me to that web page without me clicking on it. I've been unable to detect a pattern; it seems to happen randomly. Can someone explain why this is happening? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I can change to prevent this from happening? And if so, can I be given instructions how to do that?

    this should not be happening, maybe one of your addons is interfering?! - can you try running firefox in safemode or with all extensions disabled for a while and see if this behaviour is still there...

  • Viewing/Finding images by folder location

    Is there any way to find or view images from a specific folder and it's sub-folders?
    I've used the "Folders" view, but that only shows images from the folder selected and not from sub-folders.
    I've used the "Find by filename...", but that only seems to search on the filename and not the path.
    I've used the "Search" text box but again that only seems to use the filename and not the path.
    I've tried the online help and found nothing helpful.
    The reason for this is that I have all my family photos in a couple of hierarchies under "\\server\photos" and "d:\my_folder\pictures\photos", some club photos in another hierarchy under "d:\brownies\photos" and a load of other stuff (desktop backgrounds etc) in another hierarchy under "d:\my_folder\pictures\other".  What I want is a search term that I can save as smart album that will pick out all images from those hierarchies.  The best I've got so far is to manually tag each file using the "folder view" tree but this is not automatic (I have to do it each time I import pictures) and laborious (because it doesn't include sub-folders when you select a folder).
    I'd be very grateful if anyone has any tips that they could offer.
    James.

    No, that's one of the strange limitations of the PSE10 Organizer.  "Folder View" no longer includes subfolders, and the bizarre thing is that the Find...By Details (Metadata) query builder does not allow using just the path. (!?!)

  • Bridge cs6 freezes when i select video files

    Was hoping someone could help me solve this problem
    I just installed CS6 master collection however am having a problem with bridge
    even though bridge displays thumbnails of my avi files, every time i click on an avi file to select it bridge hangs/freezes and i have to force quit
    this also happens when i select all in a folder that has avi files or other video files in it
    it even happens when i select a folder that has a video file in it..it just hangs and stops responding
    i still have bridge cs5 installed and it is displaying all files in folders perfectly including video files
    the avi files are from my camera therefore they are really all around 1-3mins long
    OS: Mac 10.6.8
    i7
    media stored on external hardrive firewire 8

    i followed your instructions and after restarting bridge it actually let me select the folder with the video files...it displayed the first 19 preview extractions with their thumbnails in the content pane in less than a second
    then it took 40 minutes to show the next 80 and with these there were no thumbnail preview files
    it took at least a minute after clicking on a video file for bridge to select it and tho it did display the metadata there were no preview in the preview pane
    after restarting bridge a second time..i encountered the same problem as before...inability to even select the folder with the avi files
    i dont know if this will help but these 3 error messages appear everytime it hangs ( i don't understand what they mean but maybe you do)

  • Sound Stutters when i select track with music in it, Resolution Problem?

    Hello
    Im having a bit of a problem with logic 8, i had this problem in 7 as well and i figured it would be resolved when i upgraded but alas no love. Basically when i select a track that has somthing on it in the sequencer window a l the sound starts stuttering and i eventually get the following error message
    Could Not synchronize audio and midi
    Sample Rate 34597 recognized.
    Check conflict between Logic Pro and external device.
    Now i looked this up on the logic support page and it says theirs a method of reseting all the sample rates in 7 but i am unable to find this in logic 8.
    Please please help me with this as i am unable to play anything using midi or to properly work in general and i have several projects due.
    Many thanks in advanced

    I have a m-audio fire wire audio device but i am not using it right now. Only when i want to record thngs. As for external sync modes or clocking from a digital source to my knowledge i am not. Is their a method i can check to see if im doing this?
    I have the feeling its nothng to do with the buffer sizes as the strange thing is that sound will play fine so long as i have selected a track that has nothing on it. Its only when i select a track with either audio or midi in it that the sound starts stuttering. Also the fact that its detecting a sample rate of 34597 seems a bit strange as logic works on 41.1.
    All very strange. Im thinking it may have somthing to do with the midi device settings as its only when i select a track that im getting this stuttering so perhaps logics sample rate settings on the track change when its receiving input from the midi controller?

  • Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

    Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos.  Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

  • How to view multi-select responses in individual columns

    Hi,
    I have a multi-select field on my form. Users can check none, one, or many responses. When viewing the resluts, the response are concatenated together by a semi-colon and displayed in one column. I need to be able to sort based on the specific responses. Other form engines put these types of multi-select responses into unique columns for sorting purposes. How do I do this in Adobe Forms?
    Thanks,
    Doug Ward

    Doug,
    Did you try the right click and leftclick on the column letter?  I'm pretty sure that addresses the issue.
    Here are a couple of screen shots using a multiselect field with choices "AnswerOne AnswerTwo AnswerThree"
    Here is what happens when you right click on the column heading:
    Here is what happens when you left click on the column's letter (in this case B):
    You'll see that in both cases, you can sort first or last by any of the options in the multiselect field.  If you sort first by AnswerOne, all the responses that chose "AnswerOne" will show up first.  If you sort last by "AnswerOne" all of them will show up last.
    Does this solve the issue you're describing?
    Another option would to use the filtering functionality.  If you open up FormsCentral, go to the Help Menu, and click on FormsCentral Help, then click on "View Responses" and click on "Sort and Filter data", it will walk you through filtering data.  Here is the link
    You can set up filters to show only the response that answer "AnswerOne" or any number of combinations ("AnswerOne" AND "AnswerThree", "AnswerTwo" OR "AnswerThree").
    Hope one of these two methods helps

  • When selecting a row from a view with a nested table I want just ONE entry returned

    Can you explain what do you mean by the following?
    "PL/SQL tables (a.k.a. Index-by tables) cannot be used as the basis for columns and/or attributes"There are three kinds of collections:
    (NTB) Nested Tables
    (VAR) Varrying Arrays
    (IBT) Index-by Tables (the collection formerly known as "PL/SQL tables")
    NTB (and VAR) can be defined as persistent user defined data types, and can be used in table DDL (columns) and other user defined type specifications (attributes).
    SQL> CREATE TYPE my_ntb AS TABLE OF INTEGER;
    SQL> CREATE TABLE my_table ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, ints my_ntb );
    SQL> CREATE TYPE my_object AS OBJECT ( id INTEGER, ints my_ntb );
    /IBT are declared inside stored procedures only and have slightly different syntax from NTB. Only variables in stored procedures can be based on IBT declarations.
    CREATE PROCEDURE my_proc IS
       TYPE my_ibt IS TABLE OF INTEGER INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;  -- now you see why they are called Index-by Tables
       my_ibt_var my_ibt;
    BEGIN
       NULL;
    END;That sums up the significant differences as it relates to how they are declared and where they can be referenced.
    How are they the same?
    NTB and VAR can also be (non-persistently) declared in stored procedures like IBTs.
    Why would you then ever use IBTs?
    IBTs are significantly easier to work with, since you don't have to instantiate or extend them as you do with NTB and VAR, or
    Many other highly valuable PL/SQL programs make use of them, so you have to keep your code integrated/consistent.
    There's a lot more to be said, but I think this answers the question posed by Sri.

  • What does it mean when the usecounts of Parse Tree for a view is incrementing when a select query is issued against the view?

    I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2 (10.50.4033) and I'm troubleshooting an issue that a select query against a specific view is taking more than 30 seconds consistently.   The issue just starts happening this week and there is no mass changes in data.  
    The problem only occur if the query is issued from an IIS application but not from SSMS.  One thing I noticed is that sys.dm_exec_cached_plans is returning 2 Parse Tree rows for the view -  one created when the select query is issued
    1st time from the IIS application and another one created when the same select query is issued 1st time from SSMS.   The usecounts of the Parse Tree row for the view (the IIS one) is increasing whenever the select query is issued.  The
    usecounts of the Parse Tree row for the view (the SSMS one) does not increase when the select query is issued again. 
    There seems to be a correlation between the slowness of the query and the increasing of the usecounts of the Parse Tree row for the view.  
    I don't know why there is 2 Parse Tree rows for the view.  There is also 2 Compiled Plan rows for the select query.  
    What does the Parse Tree row mean especially the usecounts column?

    >> The issue just starts happening this week and there is no mass changes in data.  
    There might be a mass changes in the execution plan for several reason without mass changes in data
    If you have the old version and a way to check the old execution plan, and compare to the new one, that this should be your starting point. In most cases you don't have this option and we need to monitor from scratch.
    >> The problem only occur if the query is issued from an IIS application but not from SSMS.
    This mean that we know exactly what is the different and you can compare both execution plan. once you do it, you will find that they are no the same. But this is very common issue and we can know that it is a result of different SETting while connecting
    from different application. SSMS is an external app like any app that you develop in Visual studio but the SSMS dose not use the Dot.Net default options.
    Please check this link, to find the full explanation and solutions:
    http://www.sommarskog.se/query-plan-mysteries.html
    Take a look at sys.dm_exec_sessions for your ASP.Net application and for your SSMS session.
    If you need more specific help, then we need more information and less stories :-)
    We need to see the DDL+DML+Query and both execution plans
    >> What does the Parse Tree row mean
    I am not sure what you mean but the parse tree represents the logical steps necessary to execute the query that has been requested. you can check this tutorial about the execution plan: https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/performance/execution-plan-basics/ or
    this one: http://www.developer.com/db/understanding-a-sql-server-query-execution-plan.html
