• Using the field of comments on the files in the Finder

  If you select a file in the Finder and use the "Get Info" feature, there is an editable field called 'comments '. If all the data is inserted in this field, that data remains with the file even if you move the file to another source? For example, if I am looking at a JPG file in the Finder, and I add a brief description of the subjects or the location of the image in the comments field, will be those who comments always be there if I burned the file on a CD, send the file to someone on a Windows computer, copy it to a USB etc. ?

  My goal for this question is the following. I have thousands of family photos, some dating back over 100 years, I'm going to be scanning in the near future. Once scanned, I'll be sitting with my mother and aunts to see these photos/files so that we can determine who is in these pictures, where they were taken, when they were taken, etc. I don't have most of the information I had at the moment I'm digitizing them, but I want an easy way to fix this information to each picture I revisit it with my mom and aunts. I also want to be able to eventually distribute digital files of other members of the family, but most of them do not use Mac (their loss, I know... LOL!). I don't think that using Photos for Mac, Picasa or a third-party to sort application and label will be an option. 30 years from now, who knows what technology will be available, so I want to keep the process as simple and generic as possible, so they can still access it in the future.

  The comments field will work for this purpose, or you have any suggestions for a better way to permanently fix this information to JPG/photo files? Thank you very much for your help!

  Long history, response to shore. Yes, the comments will stick. BUT: there is no guarantee that 30 years from now it will be a BONE that is able to read them.

• How can I copy the list of names of files in the finder and set the Clipboard filenames separated by commas?

  Hi guys, I was wonder if anyone can give me a hand with a script.

  I need to be able to paste a list of file names of the files as follows:

  0001.jpg 0002.jpg 0003.jpg 0004.jpg

  At the moment, if I select the files in the Finder, copy to the Clipboard and paste them in TextEdit, they are like this:

  0001.jpg

  0002.jpg

  0003.jpg

  0004.jpg

  I found a similar but slightly different script and I don't know how to change it. Here it is:

  Define extension_list to {"jpg", "" JPG","jpeg","JPEG"}

  the value cbNames (Clipboard text) paragraphs

  Set csvNames to {}

  the tid value delimiters to point to the text of the AppleScript

  the text value of the AppleScript point delimiters ".»

  -now, make a list of names without extensions

  Repeat with the names in cbNames

  If the point 2 of the text names is extension_list then

  copy of text 1 of names at the end of csvNames

  end if

  end repeat

  Journal csvNames

  -now the filenames as comma CONCATENATE string separated

  the text value of the point delimiters AppleScript «»

  csvNames value cross-as text

  the text value of the point AppleScript delimiters tid

  There is an easier way. Open a TextEdit document and paste the list in. Place the cursor at the end of the first item and drag it to the start of the second.

  

  Press on + command + c to copy and then command + f to bring up find it. Press command + v (do not click in the first search field). Check the 'Replace' box, click in the field replace, and then type a comma and a space.

  

  Click 'All' and then 'done '.

  

• Can I make the data in a cell in numbers link to a file in the finder?

  Numbers will allow me to create a link to email or an Internet link, but apparently not to the files in the Finder. Anyone has a suggestion to make this happen?

  AFAIK, you can't link to a local file, except via the script, which is awkward.  You can put a file in Dropbox and copy / paste the public link to this file in connection of numbers. By default, clicking the cell number will download the file from Dropbox, which may or may not be what you want.

• How to see the names of files in the finder window?

  I have no idea how this setting has changed on me, but I can't figure out how to make it stop. Whenever I have save a file in El Capitan, the first column is at times back up, so I can't see the files that have been saved today. Then, I see the usual update, the Date added etc. I have never used this way the finder and always prefer to see the name of the file in the Finder to save the window in the first column to quickly navigate and the nested records.

  Check my laptop running Yosemite, I can see this expected behavior and file/folder name is the first column of the windows backup. How can I get this feature in El Capitan?

  Okay, just understand it myself. Go to this icon:

• How to open the file? Many types of files, check the type and call app to open it.

  HI.everyone.

  I am doing a project like dropbox.

  The problem is:

  server-side has several files of different types.

  such as: word, excel, file, file pdf image and so on.

  After the file is downloaded.

  How do I know what app is the type of file.

  and call this app to open the file?

  I can get the file type of the file name extension.

  But I do not know how to find the application that can open this file.

  or if this device have any application can open the file. Then, it will show you an alter.

  like dropbox app.

  Please help me.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  For above 4.3 and higher, you can use API call to achieve this. In regards to my understanding, it works as follows (Please correct if I am wrong).

  -All files (PDF, excel etc) readers save with BONE graft as "I am able to open the file whose mime the type XXX.

  - So, when you pass the path to the API Invocation, it searches for reader app there is place and request that you open the file. (I know not if more a reader installed in the device that achieved reference)

  Here's the code that worked for me,

  Invocation invocation = new  Invocation();
  invocation.setAction(ContentHandler.ACTION_OPEN);
  Registry registry = Registry.getRegistry("");
  registry.invoke(invocation);
  

  If none of the application saved in the requested file format it then throws the exception.

  Another option is to pass the path to the browser by using the private API to display the files...

  Let me know if it works for you...

  Thank you

• files, .xmp appearing in my SD card to access RAW files in the Finder... Very weird!

  Hello

  I'm having a very strange problem...  I use a 4 GB Scandisk SD and turn my RAW on a Canon Rebel 2ti photos.  I use a Macbook Pro, 2011 2.3 Ghz i5, 4 GB Ram, with Lion c. 10.7.2 and to access the RAW files of the SD through Finder.  I am side by clicking on the image file or by double clicking on them, as the PS is my default opening program for RAW files.  When I hit the 'Done' button on any of the Photoshop files, a new .xmp file appears in the Finder.  When I open it, it's a Microsoft Messenger for Mac 8 license agreement...

  I installed Microsoft Office 11 and have never used Messenger.  It's not a huge deal, but it drives me crazy and it's totally weird!

  Thank you

  -Dave

  There are a lot of separate, unrelated to what is happening to you in a long chain, but each step is normal and understandable.

  You open the raw directly from card files in Photoshop. Photoshop will open in Camera Raw. Camera Raw preferences are set to save the changes to the XMP sidecar files. You're clicking on done, that applies by default Camera Raw processing, and that change generates an XMP file to store the new settings. That's why a XMP file appears in the same folder. On a computer, that's fine. But write back to a camera with one another camera card that the camera is not recommended. This more that is recommended is to use another, fast way to preview the raw map files without modifying (Adobe Bridge, Lightroom, Apple Aperture, Photo Mechanic, etc.), so that the left of the map intact as it should be.

  If you don't want the XMP file to build, you have to do one of the following:

  • In Camera Raw preferences, change the option "save image settings in ' to 'Camera Raw database', not 'Sidecar XMP of files.
  • Instead of clicking every time, which applies to any changes, click Cancel instead, if you were to research and not editing.
  • Something other than Photoshop can preview raw files. Most of the other ways are faster than their opening in Photoshop. The recommended workflow is to use a camera download utility to browse all images on the card at a time (rather than one by one as you do), then select only the ones you want to make to your computer. Bridge (via file > get Photos from camera, not navigation), Lightroom, iPhoto and Aperture all have this ability.

  License as to why double-clicking on an XMP file opens a Messenger: as you probably know, the system must understand which program should open a file with a given file name extension. Looks maybe like Adobe and Microsoft have used the XMP extension, and the installer probably associated with certain file type MS Messenger Office. So when you double-click an XMP file, Mac OS X Open Messenger. Since you have not used before Messenger, is show you "first-run" screen for Messenger, and Microsoft has put in place so that you have to click on I accept on the license agreement before using it. If you never click OK, it will always be the "first run" next time you open Messenger, if you like it or not. You can use Get Info in the Mac Finder to reassign XMP to open in another program.

  You were probably expecting many things just happen to open raw on a map, but this is how it worked.

• Best way to copy a file in the Finder

  I am really struggling with the Mac interface, after having been a user of PC/Windows for decades.  I can copy/move files in Windows Explorer with ease.  On my MacBook, this simple task seems impossible.  My goal is to copy a file from one location to a specific folder.

  In the Finder, I select the file I want to copy and select 'Copy' from the Edit menu.  I then navigate to the folder that I want to place the file, highlight this folder and select "Paste" from the Edit menu.  He went to put in the parent directory of the file I selected, not the folder selected.  Tried to do this by dragging a file (which is really hard when using the touchpad).  When I fall on the folder I want, once again, place it in the parent folder.  As I was doing this on a network (WD Cloud NAS) drive, I gave up and a PC to move the files where I wanted them.

  This is ridiculous.  I thought that Macs were supposed to be easy to use.  I'm almost at the point of return my MacBook to the Apple store.

  Hold down the Option key while you drag and drop.

• How to access the photo files in the Finder?

  I just updated my system to the picture and I can't access my images in the Finder - the show in Finder option file is not available. What should I do?

  The new Photos.app does not reveal the photos managed in the Finder, like iPhoto does.

  You can only reveal image referenced in the Finder, you manage yourself and have not been copied to the photo library.

  If you want to access the original image files that you have imported, use "file > export" save a copy on your desktop.

  The management of the files of origin in the Photos is much more complicated than in iPhoto, so it make much sense to reveal the originals. Photos can simultaneously have several copies of them--in the masters, in iCloud folder or in a folder with temporary items. And if you use "Optimize Mac Storage", there may be no files to reveal to all, because the only copy will be in iCloud and not on your Mac.
