View of the column in the Finder

OK, so I've had this problem before, but it sets out of himself, do not know how, but it just resurfaced again.  Normally, for the column, you can drag the width of the columns and make as wide or narrow as you want.  However, the mine at that time the bar doubled with the cursor instead of simple lines... and I can't adjust the columns...  Don't know what it is or how it goes.  Not sure if I am fairly clear in my description, but I add a page to help.

Does anyone else have this and no idea how to change this?  I can't find anything in the Prefs or display Options or anywhere else.  I had to restart Finder in the Force Quit Applications window, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.  Have also restarted my MBP as well.  I had posted a discussion about this before and can't remember if someone did or not, but I'm not.

Thanks for your replies.

Manfred Hi, I saw this behaviour a couple of times.

Go to your 'Go' menu Finder, hold the option key and choose the library. Then go to the preferences and trash folder these files:

com Apple.Finder.plist

com Apple.sidebarlists.plist

Then, restart or log in and again.

(You will have to reset some finder prefs the way you like them).

  • Default value of width of column in the finder

    For Finder column, the column in a new window widths are often too narrow and I have to resize to display the full name of each file.  is there a way to change the default column width?

    Unfortunately no, but a solution could be to hide the sidebar.

    Go to the Finder menu bar, click View > hide sidebar, or you can use the Option + command + S shortcut keyboard.

  • Impossible to disable the column "Preview" in the Finder Windows

    Before that I describe this problem, I just want to clarify that I have configured Finder to always open folders in a new window, and while some of my files are put into mode icon that the majority is set to display in the list.

    Following an upgrade to Yosemite to El Capitan, some of my Finder list view windows began to show the column "Preview" on the side of the far right, after the date modified column. I don't like this feature because when none of the folders or items are selected it shows just a ugly "blank" space in the window. So, I quickly discovered that I can disable this "Preview" column by selecting "hide the Preview" in the view menu.

    The problem is that once I chose this, in many of my files change does not stick. After a reboot or a restart, I'll go back to the window and the preview column is again. Sometimes it happens immediately after closing the window and opening it again. The worst culprit is my user folder.

    I tried selecting "Hide Preview" and then enter the display options and set as the default view for all Finder Windows, but this makes no difference.

    Anyone know how to disable the overview at all times column in all the windows in the Finder?

    This is what it looks like in my folders set to display from the list:

  • I clicked 'hide' on the documents in the Finder. How do I view it?

  • Create the view with the Unique ID column

    I need to create a view.

    You cannot use oracle sequences directly in the query that is connected with other queries using Union or INTERSECT or less cluses.

    Other cases where you cannot use a sequence are:
    -In a WHERE clause
    -In a GROUP BY or ORDER BY clause
    -In a SEPARATE clause
    -Along with a UNION or INTERSECT or LESS
    -In a subquery

  • Why can't move pictures from the Finder to the CC Dreamweaver design view?

    Hey guys,.

    I use OS X Mavericks (10.9) and Adobe DW CC

    For some reason any CC and CS6 I can't drag files from the Finder (Mac OS x Explorer) in design mode (for example: adding images to a table cell), the Browse button doesn't work properly or the other... The 'Find a file' button only works if there is an image already and then it will update the image, or if there is no image in the table cell, it will bring up the dialog box browse, but does nothing if I select a file and press 'open '.

    Is there a setting that was introduced in the CS 6 which affects this behavior?

    @Jdawg - we have seen that the Drag and Drop does not work on 10.9. We're investigating this issue. As NAncy mentioned, I too suggest using the Insert panel until the fix for this issue is available

  • Customization of the preview of the Finder or the Display Options tab

    Hi guys,.

    I'm looking for a way to customize the information displayed in the tab preview Finders or in the Display Options for the Finder.

    I deal with a lot of video files (about 6 TB) and I'd LOVE a way to get the Finder displays which Codec to use the files. Cmd + i to see this info in the section of the Finder's ' Get Info', you can, if the information is already there and Finder is reading. I would like a way to add a custom column for the options that says "Codec" or to have that information appear in preview just beside where the resolution of the video are already displayed. Y at - it a third-party application that would make this integration in Finder? Or y at - it a script that can be written in the code of the OS to add these fields? I have 3rd party apps that can display this record in the batch lists, but I use just Finder (a step less) especially since the Finder already stores this info, I want just a way to put these data out in front where I have to cmd + i to dig for it.

    Thank you!!

  • Errors and warnings in Event Viewer in the field of applications on a laptop running Windows 7.

    I receive a number of warning and an error message in the event viewer in the field of applications on a laptop running Windows 7.  Is there a way to fix this or fix another way?

    Here are some notes on the event viewer reports that can help you. When you have a lot of mistakes, you need to focus on system errors and warnings, even if it's the applications that are giving you grief. Problems with the first sorting system can do the easier application problems. Note the time that the computer is started last and deal first with those at the beginning of the boot. Correct previous errors can be solved later.

    1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.

    2 Event Viewer includes four major newspapers in Windows. These are application, security and system with Applications and Service logs as a source more details... For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.

    3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

    4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Click the button copy on the general tab allows you to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

    5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.

    6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

    7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.

    8. for Vista and Windows 7 Google is the best source of information. Search for selected text in the Description part of the report (not of the particular words of phrases) that "this exact word or phrase" Gets the best results. Focus on Social Technet and Microsoft Answers reports in the last 12 months. Look elsewhere if a response is difficult to find.

  • Photoshop CS3 can not save a file when it is selected in the Finder

    Photoshop CS3 can not save a file when it is selected in the Finder: "cannot save ' [filename] ' because the file is already in use or has been left open."

    I am running Photoshop CS3 on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.

    Is there one solution other than to get a new version of Photoshop? It is quite annoying to have to switch to the Finder and deselecting the file that I work with.

    Well, I specifically asked if there was one solution other than to get a new version of Photoshop.

    I found a way to do so; Open the file does not by double-clicking, but by right clicking. He let the file not selected in the Finder, at least in list view or column.

  • Views of the repository to check catalog RMAN

    Hi all

    Y at - it a display that shows if the database uses the catalog for the backup, we have planned the rman using OEM, now I need to create a UDM that sends an alert if you do not use catalog, I want to do it using the sql with views OEM command.

    any view that can be my help?
    I went through http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B1930601/em.102/b16246/views.htm#BACDGFJC_,
    but could not find any suitable display,

    Having checked this: "MGMT$ HA_BACKUP", this view will give the required information?

    Please suggest.

    Thank you and best regards,
    Harish

    In the RMAN discovered RC_BACKUP_SET repository you will find by database the most recent backup time (NEWEST_BACKUP_TIME column), if calaog is used.
    If a database is not backupped using the catalog that no new entry will be added to this view. For example, if the target is a database in the repository of the MA, but has no recent entry in RC_BACKUP_SET (sysdate-2 or something like that) the backup fails either or the backup was made do not help catalog. In both cases, further investigation is necessary.

    Hope this helps,

  • Effectively reach views with the same underlying objects?

    I have 3 views of the end user, and they all 2 underlying objects in common (1 table, 1 review).

    Example:
    a = table
    b = view
    c - e = support for tables

    View 1:
    Of a, b, c
    WHERE THE...

    View 2:
    Of a, b, d
    WHERE THE...

    View 3:
    Of a, b, e
    WHERE THE...

    Is there a way to allow end users to bring together these 3 points of view while limiting the number of times that the underlying objects are accessible? Ideally, Oracle would have access every underlying object only once by request of the end user, even if all 3 views are used in the query. Oracle is hitting the underlying objects once by the sight of the end user in the query.

    In addition, the underlying view (b) cannot be converted to a materialized view because of the size of the data obtained.

    1 option would be to combine all the columns in the view end user 3 in 1 larger view. However, they currently each have their own use functional and consequently were designed to be separate.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    The general with this kind of structure problem of the view, it is essentially impossible to the optimizer to know that this table should only be consulted once because the logic in any particular view could exclude a line that another view would return or could cause a single row of has to join several lines in table B. It is generally not possible for the optimizer determine that a query that joins A table in three different views could be rewritten to have a single reference to a rather than an intentional 3-way table A self-join.

    You will find many people who complain the performance of queries that use views not because the views improve intrinsically, but because someone has designed a very generic view layer and apparently simple queries join now to a bunch of tables, they don't really need to get the columns are not referencing or perform some other inexpensive filter which is not really necessary.

    If performance is a problem, you could change the view layer so that users do not have to join three distinct views of which attached to the same table? Or you could allow users to reach the underlying tables for queries that require higher levels of performance?
