Sierra: Changed the behavior of file Finder selection

After upgrading to Sierra I can't select files in the Finder using the keyboard as before. When you try to select multiple files using SHIFT and arrow keys, it simply does not work properly (if you've experienced, you know what I mean).

I already tried to remove the com.apple.finder.plist file in my Library/Preferences folder and reboot, nothing helps.

(An example of the problem is on this post to Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/54caqk/sierra_changed_finder_file_selectio n_behavior_me / )

Yes same behavior here with Sierra.

Best thing to do send your feedback via http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html apparently if 100 users report the same problem, it will attract attention. Yes, 1 down, 99 to go

  • Change the highlight color when you select files or folders

    Hello
    Need assistance to change the highlight color when you select files or folders in Windows Explorer / my document.
    I use Windows Vista with SP2.  I tried to go to control-online personalization panel => color & appearance of the window and changing the settings.  However, I can't change the intensity of the highlights that I see it clearly.  A little blind colours, I would like to change the color to make it darker so that I could clearly see when an item is selected.

    Sorry to hear that the option is good enough for you.  I've done some research more and that you still do not see a way to change what you're asking.  As I said before, others have mentioned this issue as well.  If I come across a way to do it, I'll post it here.

    In the meantime, I'm going to Mark this post as answer whose answer is:

    Currently, there is no way to make this change in Windows Vista.

  • How to manually change the DNS zone files?

    I'm running OS X version 10.11.2 (El Capitan) and using App Server version 5.0.15 on a Mac Mini.

    I need to change the DNS Zone files manually because the DNS Server App Manager does not provide a U / I in order to add some elements (such as adding a delegation, etc.).  I use TextWrangler (5.0.2) as editor-in-Chief.

    I found an old post on how to do this here, but the information listed it seems obsolete.

    I was able to find the zone files to:

    / Library/server/name

    as:

    CBI .

    When I try to save or overwrite the db. files, or try to save all the files in that directory, I get an error indicating that:

    "Save the authenticated for this file failed (error application code: 20004).

    Since a window Terminal, if I go to that directory and type:

    Echo hello > temp.txt

    I get:

    Permission denied

    I am logged in using an administrator account.

    Before editing the db. files, I turned off the DNS in the App Server, then exit the server application server.

    What should I do to manually update the db. files?

    These files are protected from root.  You need to elevate your permissions to be able to change them.

    Probably you use a text editor like vi, nano or pico command line.  sudo vi/path/to/file for example.

    Back up the files first to protect against error.  In addition, be aware that Apple can run on some of your changes if you change the.app areas.

  • How can I change the icons of file movie back to screenshots instead of the folder view changing vlc cone already tried

    I have two granddaughters, 5 and 4, who can't read yet, and I did something that I can't fix. I run Win7, Google Chrome, and VLC is my default player.

  • Change the behavior of the fields QD customer portal

    When you connect a call via the customer portal interface (/ ServiceManager.aspx? lite) I would easily change the eay work Service and Config point QDs.

    I need them to search against the TITLE field, rather than the REF field and to find with all THE Services/CIs rather than with YOUR Service/GCS.

    Also on the review screen to call how you reference given on the ground of an Extension field rather than a kernel call Table fields.

    Thanks for you help in advance. V9.1.3

    Hi Dave,.

    We have portal application registration form with field Service QD included. And I made the same decision: it is much more convenient for the search service by its title and not by reference. The behavior can easily be changed by changing the query TABLE SERVICE_QDSearchResults:

    [SERVICE_NAME AND s.ASSET_REF LIKE: uSERVICE_NAME]

    must be changed to

    [SERVICE_NAME AND s.TITLE LIKE: uSERVICE_NAME]

    I believe you can change the behavior of field research of Config point QD (check CMDB_QDSearchResults TABLE and ASSET_QDSearchResults TABLEqueries) as well.

    To make extension of field reference use the syntax [EXTFLDV_500xxx] ([EXTFLDV_500xxx #EXTPROFILE500yy] for the profile field). Where 500xxx ir SU_FIELD reference number field.

    You should be able to add a field to the form review call using the designer.

  • Can I globally change the names of files and or directory to lowercase to uppercase?

    in Windows XP or in Windows 7, globally change the names of files and or directory to lowercase to uppercase?

    A single configuration change probably will not accomplish this.

    Your best bet is probably the freeware "Bulk Rename Utility" program which has a section dedicated to change the case of file names.

  • Hi, is it possible to change the names of files that export out of indesign while packing?

    Hi, is it possible to change the names of files that export out of indesign while packing?

    For example, I can change the "Font of the Document" folder to export as a "document-fonts"?

    I ask because our naming structure requires without capital letters and no spaces. Spaces are replaced by dashes (-).

    And it would be nice if it was always exported as needed, instead of having to go back and change the names of files.

    Thank you! Much appreciated!

    Which cannot be changed without having a bad effect,. The name "Document fonts" is special. When you compress a file with fonts in a folder using exactly this name, InDesign know that these policies should be open and will be used in the document to the other end. If you name this file anything else, InDesign ignore fonts and the recipient will have to open the fonts manually.

    If you have decided to change the folder names, you will need to do once the package created, perhaps with a script.

  • How can I change the unrecognizable FrameMaker file format?  Why has he become unrecognizable after changing the file name?

    I update an existing project in the FrameMaker10, which is located in a structure of book.  I changed the names of the files in the directory, they upgrade 11 FrameMaker and saved.  When I try to add them to the book (whose name I also updated) a problem for some files. When I try t add them to the book file, I get an error message that says that the book file is unrecognizable.  (It allows me to add it, but it appears in the file book with an icon that has a blue "M" in there.)  Why is that happening and how can I change these files to normal FrameMaker files?  Thank you.

    Try to open the problem files using a text editor or viewer of files to see what the first bytes contain. Contains all the binary files valid FM FM 11 in the first bytes of the file.

    During the updating of the books, it is sometimes better just to create a new address book file and add files to it.

    When you rename files in a book, changes at the level of the system will break any links/cross-references between files, so it is always best to use the option rename book in the file to change the names of files FM. This will keep the correct links.

  • How can I change the columns in File-&gt; Open views program?

    I use El Capitan 10.11.3 on a MacBook Pro. I start with a clean system. I copied my files from my backup and reinstall my programs.

    This created a problem, seeking to resolve by changing the column headings in the views of program "file-> open.

    Whatever program I use, when I open a file, the window displays currently "Date added". It is of no use to me as the "Date added" to all my files is exactly the same - date, I have copied them on my own hard drive brilliant from my backup.

    In finder views, I can opt to display "update" instead of "added". So I order the files by date, whenever this is useful.

    However, whenever I try to open a file in a program, it is impossible to find things by date, because they all have the same "date added". I need to be able to see the "change date".

    I find anywhere that allows me to change this, either in the system preferences, or when opening a specific program. Don't I found clues to aid or the forum.

    Can someone tell me what I need to do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Mike

    Right click on the headers (if in list view) and select the headers you want to see.

    Alternatively, use the Arrangement to organize the desired date.

  • Change the properties of files and folders

    I recently changed the computer name and administrator, but I can't delete properties of former directors, i.e. name of files and folders. How can I do this?

    Where in poperties are you talking about?  Here is the list of authorized users - security and if you are looged Admin everything you need to do is click on edit and select another administrator, and then click on delete and it's done.  I don't think that this deletion process can be done throughout the world - and if is not necessary as this other account administrator is no longer eistss or has been disabled.  You should already be added to the Administrators group so that your username does not need to be added for access.

    If this isn't security, where are you talking about?  What are the 'properties' belong to the former administrator.  I don't understand.  Could you please further explain and tell me exactly how to get to the screen you are talking about?  In addition, please explain what you are tyring to accomplish by doing this - what is the problem with the other 'properties' of the administrator that you need to remove the name and I guess only to insert your new name?

  • I can't change the read only files on my NAS unit.

    I have a promise SmartStore MS4300n Network Attached Storage system that I have used for more than two years. I can access it from my Windows Xp and my 64 bit Windows 7 computer. Yesterday, I tried to move some files from my Win 7 to the NAS and I find that I can't copy on it. I can move my Win 7 7 NAS files. When I look at the properties of the files on the NAS, they all are now READ ONLY. When I try to change it tells me I don't have permission. I am the only user and I am logged in as admin. Yet once it has started here yesterday.
    If I access the NAS since my XP I can copy data to the NAS even if properties files are READ only.

    The problem is clearly with WINDOWS 7, how to fix it, it work well before and I need to use this device to check my belongings.

    Thank you

    OK, looks like I fixed it. I found that even though I have my computer set up to run all updates automatically I checked windows update and found five that had not been installed. After that I ran the update now can I copy files to my SIN again.

  • XP pro do not start after changing the Boot.ini file

    The problem is that my C: partition Windows 7
    D: has XP Pro

    These should be considered right resp. partitions 1 and 2?

    I wanted to first XP pro to start the default partition.

    A few days ago, I made a change to the boot.ini file. But since XP Pro was not starting at all.

    I tried XP Pro to start first that the default partition.

    Given that XP Pro and my D: drive have not been starting, I consulted the boot.ini file in C:, Windows 7 partition and I changed the order (i.e. partition No.) in the boot.ini file and saved it to the required location, i.e. D:/WINDOWS/pss.
    through my drive C: of work, i.e. the partition of Windows 7, but it still does not work because apparently even though I save here, the actual values and the paths of the partition are not actually be changed on the system. I confirmed this by going into the CMD shell switching to D: and by running the command D: > bootcfg.
    Apparently any values I save in the boot.ini file that I save as a text file or "All files" in D:/WINDOWS/pss/it does not actually change in the system because whenever I run the command bootfg values are remaining still and not able to be changed, because apparently it is not saved in XP Pro and the D : partition. No matter what I do and what I put in the boot.ini file to access the values through the windows 7 partition, the values that bootcfg returns me are always the same and he refuses to change the name of path or anything else. No matter what orders, I also put in bootcfg himself.

    These are the values that bootcfg gives me:
    default: multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS

    Boot entries:
    Boot entry ID: 1
    Friendly name of operating system: MS Windows XP Professional
    Path: multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
    The operating system load options: / noexecute = OPTIN/FASTDETECT/usepmtimer

    My XP Pro partition is simply not booting, and it of my main partition and has all my work. It is imperative that it starts.

    My Windows CD is also not start because apparently my DVD drive does not work properly, I had the anti malware threatfire (ThreatFire) installed on my XP D:Windows program disk but have uninstalled just in case it was blocking my changes to the system.

    On C:Win7, I put the default operating system option in the Advanced tab for Win7 and the D:XP Pro to XP Pro, when he was the starter and work. Now I can only access my files D:XP Pro Player C:Win7. But XP is not just start. What shd - I do? Thks.

    I don't have a very practical windows CD but my CD/DVD drive is not read and does not properly.

    Looks like your original post stated that your cd/dvd does not work.

    Respectfully, you will continue these hap hazard patches and your computer will not start at all. I'll try to help you once again. Please follow closely.

    Start your computer by loading Windows 7. Click HERE and download EasyBCD. Install the software in trial version. Once installation is complete open EasyBCD. You will see an interface like the image below. Click Add a new entry.

    A new screen appears as in the image below. Use the drop down menu to select Windows NT / 2 k/XP / 2 k 3 as described below. Type the name of the operating system in the box below. Of course, it will be Windows Xp (you can add the home or Pro to the name if you want). Make sure now that there is a check mark in the box "automatically detect the correct player. Once you have completed these steps click on 'add an entry '. That's all! You are finished. If all goes well, and if you have followed these steps carefully, there, now you have a system dual boot.

    You can now start working on your cd/dvd problem.
