Where is Search File Names option in Mavericks finder?

Prior versions of the finder had an option to allow searching of file names only. This seems to be gone in Mavericks. Is there any way to get it back?

While the default is to search for both name matches and content matches when you start typing into the search box you will be presented with the option to limit the search to the name

Insert a directory path and file name option

I built a program that runs three tasks when a voltage triggers the data acquisition. I would like now to insert an option/control for two issues: selection of the directory where the data will be saved, and selection of the file name. How can I do this such that after I press 'start' I should be asked which is the directory where I want the data to be saved and then what is the file name?
Another option would be the following: After I press 'Start' I will have a control where I can write or browse for the folder where I want to save the data; then I have another controller where I write the new file name. So in this case I should not be prompted except the case when I am trying to use the same file name.
Where should I con
nect this new subvi in my loop - before the tasksand before the trigger, or after the tasks and before the trigger?
Thank you.

Programming with LabVIEW might be fun but it is quite time consuming�
OK, here is what I want to do.
I have to monitor a machining process. I have to record cutting forces, power consumed, vibrations, and temperature. From each of these sensors I get a voltage as output and I used �Measurement and automation� and NI-DAQmx to program my tasks (I have LabVIEW Express running in Windows XP).
The triggering of DAQ is generated by the input of a 4.5V DC when the CNC program starts; the stop occurs when CNC program ends and the output voltage becomes 0V. I have finished all the connections and now I have to build the vi.
The �small picture� could be described this way:
I want to record the parameters and save them in files that I could process later using specific vi.
The �big picture� would be the following:
I would like to build a stand alone program that will do the following: when I run the program [ i. e. double-click the shortcut (or the file)] a panel should come up in the center of the screen � in this panel I would like to be able to select what process am I going to investigate: grinding, turning, milling, drilling, tapping etc.
Once I selected what process I am going to investigate, the front panel of a vi should come up � In this panel I should be able to select what parameters I am going to record: forces, power, vibrations, and temperature. On the front panel I should be able to see the waveform of the acquired data. A start/stop button and a led green/red for each parameter should show me the status of the acquisition (green is on, red is off). The start/stop button should allow me to �manually� start or stop the program at any time. Additionally, on the front panel I should also have icons with a choice for directory (folder) path, file name, and comments regarding the experiment. The date and time should be recorded in the file that is saved. There should be an option (check box or selection icon) for saving the data in binary or ASCII format.
Similar to any program, the front panel should have a toolbar containing File, Operate and Help options. The File option should contain �Clear graphs�, �Setup DAQ� and �Exit� and the Operate option should contain: Use digital alarm, Use digital trigger, and Write data to disk with the option to be selected or deselected. The main front panel should close when I select File -> Exit.
The File -> Setup DAQ selection should bring up another front panel in which I should be able to see the acquisition control panel (device, channels to get, buffer size, units � English or metric) and the calibration factors (for the tasks, including triggering voltage) including sampling rate.
Well, that�s almost all. I understand I cannot do this all at once. Unfortunately, I have a very close due date in getting the system up and ready. I am hoping that I could get some help setting up a simple program and I could develop the rest step by step later...
Can anybody help me with this program? I have attached a first attempt that would allow automatic triggering and stopping as well as displaying of forces, power and acceleration.
Thank you in advance.

Make Windows 7 search function search file names only

Hello,
Is there a way to search for a file name (like in previous versions of Widows) rather than searching for anything containing that word? For example,
I want to search a for files with the word 'Pension' in the title, but intead I receive thousands of results for files called containing the word pension as well as those with 'pension' in the title.
Thanks!

Yeah, I know. It works for some and not for others. It depends on cryptic settings that waste more time than it takes to find the files manually. I have run searches for simple file names...nothing complicated, with indexing on and off.
I let it run overnight until it was fully complete. It left out 33 results, including what I was looking for. With Agent Ransack, all of the results were found...including what I was looking for in less than a minute. Google Windows 7 search
problems sometime and you will find pages and pages of people with problems trying to tweak it left and right hoping it would work. In the end, it is simply not worth the time when much more efficient and free alternatives are available.
What do you want me to say? If you don't know how to use the solution, then you just don't know. I can't make it any simpler for you as to where the problem is at, and you need not cry about it.
I think a 5 year old with an open mind that is sharp minded can easily figure out how to use the Search, once he or she was shown how to use it. :)

Thousands of individual .txt files being created while using "next available file name" option in Save to ASCII step

I'm using Signal Express to record Load vs Displacement data and export it to a format our engineers can work with (in this case ASCII is okay). It would seem that by selecting the Next Available File Name from the drop down arrow it would do just that. For instance a typical save path for me would look like C:\....Desktop\Project Number and Description\Run_1.txt within that Run1.txt file would be all the data points for that run. When I hit record again Signal Express would (SHOULD) create a Run_2 since it's the Next Available File Name.
But instead what it does is creates a single txt file for every single sample point being read. Needless to say, If I'm recording 6 second of data at 1khz I end up with thousands of txt files!
The first thing that comes to mind is, why would anyone want this?
Second is how can I record multiple individal runs for the same project and have the file name increment?

...and more attachments of the ASCII save path, before and after acquiring 4 seconds of data along with one of the files from that folder.
Again, this is 4 seconds of two-channel spring plot data at 100 Samples to Read @ 1k Rate (Start Run.... wait 4 seconds or two full test sample cycles... Stop Run).
~EDIT~
The .txt file would not attach (I think it's too small). Here's what it looks like if you were to open it:
Load vs Displ - Displ (inches) Load vs Displ - Load (lbs)
3.736323 273.751906
Also, for some reason it won't let me attach my project file. It's a .seproj extension but the forum thinks it's 1k in size and "empty"

Where are my file names?

Complete and total newbie to Mac. I have been using Jasc Paint Shop for years, just got my Mini today. I am an Ebay seller, and had a large amount of photos sorted into folders and subfolders, all with numerical file names. The pictures were on my Free Agent hard drive, so I used Finder to move them into iPhoto. Worked nicely, though not so organized. At least I have events with the names of all the previous folders. But I cannot find a way to see a file name. I need to keep using a system for this, since I upload a lot of pictures to the internet via Filezilla. Which isn't loaded yet.
I haven't gotten far because it quickly became apparent that the Malware that was the final straw on my PC has followed me to Mac. I downloaded Protectmac and it's scanning right now. I'm not on the Mac, obviously.
Any help with the organization problem is appreciated. How I wish I could still have PSP, but no Mac version.

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
In iPhoto go to View > Titles. This will show the file names.
You can also click on the small "i" inside the circle at the base of each picture to flip it and see the photo information.
You can also click on the the small "i" inside the circle at the bottom left of the iPhoto window. When you click on a picture that information window will show you it's information.
You can also go to Photos > Show Extended Photo Info to see even more information about your pictures.
Hope that helps.

Where is Insert File Name?

In pages 09, you can insert file name (Insert menu), e.g. into a header so that if you have hard copy, you know what file is called.

Gone, with well over 100 other features.
You should still have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder, use that and rate/review Pages 5.5.2 in the App Store.

Premiere CS4 Version 4.2.1 – Where is the file "Name"?

I have my video files on a hard disk which I connect to my laptop. My project files are on the laptop. I have been able to work with the files for a long time without any problems. Today I get the question “Where is the file?” and I don’t want to spend many hours finding all the files, when I don’t know why this happen so it could happen again. First I thought Premiere got confused with the drive letters because I had a UPS Flycard network connector, but I restarted the computer without it and got the same problem. How can I let Premier find the files again and why did this happen?

Well, this most often happens when the OS assigns a new/different hard drive letter. One can set the external to a set drive letter in the OS. Do not know your "flyback card," so do not know how it might affect things. What is the current drive letter, and what was the one assigned originally?
With PrPro, one only has to locate the first "missing" file, when asked, and the program will then link to all other Assets in that folder. If you have the Assets in several folders, you will need to do this for each folder, containing Assets for that Project. The Find function of that dialog screen will prove very helpful.
I'd first exit from PrPro (do not choose Offline, Ignore, etc., and then Save the Project file), check out the drive letters, and then set the external to what was originally assigned.
Good luck,
Hunt

File Name Shortenings in Folders (Finder)

My question is if you can change the format of how shortened file names appear in folders.
The default is showing the beginning and ending of a file name:
"summer vacation photos" -> "summ...otos" (of course depending on how large the file icon is or how wide the column is)
I want to know if it is possible to change the settings to just show the beginning of the file name (the Windows default I guess):
"summer vacation photos" -> "summer vac..."
I just want to know because I find the Mac default to be difficult to read and to figure out what the file names are.

Use list view and expand the name column to display the entire name. Alternatively, use shorter names. As for changing how it's displayed, there's no built-in way to do it the way you want to.

Copy file name and info from finder window

I need to get the file name and file size for lots of files in lots of folders into a text file or excel file. I have found the way to copy the file path into text edit, but can't figure out how to copy all the info in a file window. Is there a way to do this?

It's easily done with Terminal.
cd (drag folder into Terminal window, press return). Then:
ls -l > ~/Desktop/list.txt
A file called "list.txt" will appear on your Desktop, containing a list of files from the folder, along with their modification dates, file sizes, and ownership/permission info.

Changing the file name of photo in Finder.

I need to change the file name of my photos. I have changed the settings so that they show on iPhoto as 001, 002 etc - but I need this information to also be set in Finder. Is this possible?
NikiKL

No - iPhoto is a photo database and it controls the files - you can not - in fact must not (if you make any changes in the structure or content of the iPhoto library you will corrupt it and lose data) -- and there is no reason to - you have full access to your files - <a href-"http://web.me.com/larryhn/iPhoto08_(version_7.x.x)_FAQ/Accessing_iPhotoPhotos.html"> click here for a discussion of the many ways to properly and safely access your photos -- and you can always export them using the title for the file name to have them outside iPhoto with any name you desire

Consolidating itunes media library-how to shorten file names or how to find the file that is creating the problem?

Hi I've switched to Mac for six months now, so is still new to mac and I am using my old 1TB windows PC side by side for my music collection. Now I have seen the posts already in apple community about consolidating itunes music library but could not get the proper way of doing it. My system and itunes is also saying 'file name is too long' and it stops but the questin is how do I know which file is creating the problem and how do I shorten it?
If anybody can answer I'll be obliged to him/her, because its my 6/7 years of music collection stuck in an old pc. Thanks in advance.

By 'it stops' I meant the consolidation process in itunes stops.

Where is the "File Sahring" option in iTunes

Hi,
I have an iPhone 3G, I just updated to iOS4. Now I'm looking for the option file sharing in iTunes 9.2.0, wich allows to transfer some files between the computer and the iPhone.
I looked in the help to find a soulution and I found this:
To transfer files from your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer:
"Connect your device to your computer.
In iTunes, select your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices), and then click the Apps tab.
Below File Sharing, from the list on the left, select the application on your device that you want to transfer files from."
I can't see any "File Sharing" on the Apps tab.
Can you help me? what don't I understand?
thank you

I too am looking for this mysterious "File Sharing" pane. I have iBooks, GoodReader, Dropbox. It still doesn't appear. Will it only show up if you have updated file sharing apps? Which ones are they?

Where are photo file names?

I've "titled" many, many photos in iPhoto by changing the filename (e.g. "DSC_2254" --> "On vacation in Hawaii"), but there appears to be no option in Photos to show the filename. So none of my "titles" appear. Am I missing something?

Léonie,
As a further clarification, because this has huge implications for those of us that have "titled" thousands of photos in iPhoto, which are not carried over to the new Photos app:
Here is an example of a photo to which I edited the filename (D7K_2242) in iPhoto:
Note that the full title (which is actually the edited filename) appears in iPhoto.
Here is the same photo as it appears in Photos in the Moments view:
Here are my Metadata settings in Photos:
So..
--- Even when "titles" are turned on under Metadata
--- and when in the Moments view in Photos
The filename edited in iPhoto (="title") does not appear in Photos.
I have discovered one way to remedy this, but it is NOT a practical remedy when you have thousands of "titled" photos in iPhoto with lots of albums, etc.
--- In iPhoto: Select a photo, then: File -> Edit -> Export, with these settings:
Any other settings for Kind (e.g., Original) will result in the title not carried over to Photos. Here's how the above export looks in Photos:
As I said above, this is not a reasonable solution because among other things you can only export a file as a "jpeg" and not as an "Original", which was a "raw" file. So I guess off I go to report this as a "bug" to Apple.

Where has the File Name sort gone in PSE11 ?

I have recently migrated to PSE 11 from PS 9 and am annoyed that the filename sort seems to have disappeared in PSE 11 Organizer (it was Display-Folder Location in PS 9). Does anyone know how to sort images by filename in Organzier 11?
Now the only sort is chronological which is a pain for building a story-board for eventual migration of images to non-Adobe apps such as Pinnacle Studio. While the labelling features of Organizer are wonderful for those that like to spend days micro-managing their images, the reality of the native (ie Windows) file structure remains and is the only compatible file structure understood by other apps. There is no reason for Adobe to drop the filename sort option in Organizer - please bring it back !!

My iPad is a first generation so it on IOS 5 and I am running iTunes 11. Shows up for me as I said above. Maybe somebody else knows whay it doesn't work for you.
Probably try all the usual suspects Power on and Off for ipad 9 Not Standby, hold down Power button until a red slider appears. The when off keep it pressed for 2-3 secs and iPad will reboot.
Also switch of iTunes and Computer and the switch back on.
Never know it might help certainly wouldn't hurt

Where (drive, folder, file name) are the database files that store catalog information such as tags and changed dates in Elements 13?

I want to backup just the datebae file that holds catalog data. I can't find it in Elements 13 but could in Elements 10. Is it hidden in a secret file with a secret name? Why?

The catalog is a folder containing the main database (catalog.pse13db), the thumbnails cache (thumb.5.cache) and other files and subfolders. To save a catalog, you save the whole catalog with its subfolders. Note that if you don't save the thumbnail cache (which is the biggest item in the catalog), it will be rebuilt automatically.
In all versions of Elements, Win or Mac, you find its location from the menu: Help/System information.
By default it's in a hidden folder in Windows.
Why? I don't know, but you can tell the Windows Explorer to show hidden files. That's up to you; I always do that.
Should the catalog always be in the default location? Not at all. You can move it elsewhere. For instance you can hold your image library and your catalog to an external drive. Then, the catalog manager shows it as beeing in 'custom location'.
The following is not in your question, but I assume you are asking that for backup purposes. If you have an external backup system, you should include the catalog folder. That is not enough if you want to restore to another computer or drive because the original is dead. The catalog stores the picture files location with reference to the path, but also to the internal serial number of the drive. Changing drive means that all files will be shown 'missing' or 'disconnected', and you'll have to run a 'reconnect' procedure. You don't need the reconnection if you use the internal backup/restore process in the Organizer.
Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later
If you are not in the situation of a crash, but you simply want to update (includinge updating PSE version), the integrated system is ideal.
Other backup systems have their advantages. I do use Windows SyncToy after each significant editing session, and the Organizer backup at regular intervals.
