OS X Mavericks :: Display File Location Of Item Being Viewed In Preview
Jun 17, 2014
I am trying to find a quick and direct way of displaying the file location of a file I am looking at using Preview.Â
For example, in Mac Word, I can use File > Properties > General and see the full file location but I can't see how to do this on Preview. Clicking on the name as shown below, does not show the file location, only the folder it's in (or the desktop) - i.e. the next level up. So if I have filexxx.pdf in folder1>folder2>folder3, clicking on the filename in Preview shows folder3.Â
Using spotlight isn't an option because I get a display like this
Info:
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)
I'm finally getting used to the extra steps required to save a doc in Preview now (but I hate it). What I'm noticing now is that when I open a document in Preview, it also opens the last doc I viewed at the same time..If I wanted to see the old doc I would've double clicked it.I use Preview all the time.There is no Preference to disable this strange behavoir.
When I open a photo with Preview, it opens all the photos I have viewed previously. How can I prevent that, other than manually clearing the list after each time?
When I search for a file in my computer (command + f) the results appear in a window. If I click on a FILE among the results, the detailed location of that file is shown at the bottom of the window. If I click on a FOLDER, however, no such location information appears. Before Mavericks, locations of folders was also given. Is this a Mavericks bug? Can it be fixed?
Is there a way to preview/display the runtime/duration of a video file in Finder? I noticed that if it is a .mov file, then you can choose to display the file's duration in Icon view if you edit "View Options," Column view and with the Command+I shortcut, but with a few other video file types I've looked at this data isn't available.
I am having problems with Preview and Snow Leopard. I can use Quick View to view jpeg files, but when I open them with preview. It does not display the correct image. It just displays a gray block. The only way to resolves this is to delete the preview prefernce files, and then it works. But after a couple of restarts it goes back to not displaying the correct image.
I have used the standard "Reduce File Size" Quartz filter but find the resulting files way too grainy. I want to have a filter that is a stand between but cannot seem to make a filter using the ColorSync utility that applies to PDFs. I want a free method to do this of course and am pretty confused as to why Apple hasn't given the user the option to control the output of the PDF in Preview. That is basic PDF viewer material.
I use an Olympus OMD-E10 but I cannot see the .ORF RAW on my 2011 iMac with Preview. I get: "Preview currently does not support this raw file format." My Macbook Air reads the files OK. Both run 10.9.4. Is there a way to check that Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.06 is actually installed?
Everytime I time to open a PDF file in Preview I get the msg, the file couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it. I have checked the GET INFO and all permissions are correct.
I have a status Item app andI am using a custom view. My image in the status item has been showing and working until recently. Is it something I have changed or maybe it was a bug that it was showing and now it fix.
Here is the relevant code:Â
AppDelegate.h#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>@class View;Â @interface AppDelegate : NSObject <NSApplicationDelegate>{Â Â Â NSStatusItem *statusItem;Â Â Â View *_View;Â Â Â NSImage *statusImage;Â Â Â NSImage *statusHighlightImage;Â Â Â NSMenu *statusMenu;}Â - (IBAction)shutdown:(id)sender;- (IBAction)restart:(id)sender;- (IBAction)sleep:(id)sender;- (IBAction)about:(id)sender;Â @property (assign) IBOutlet NSWindow *aboutWindow;
I've uninstalled appdelete as I now use cleanapp. Anyway, I have uninstalled it but the contextual menu is still present. I have tried looking at the services and libraries but cannot locate the specific item needed to be deleted to remove the appdelete contextual menu item.
I was writing in a Doc file in Open Office. Made a load of ammendments over a 2 hr period then went to close it. When asked if I wanted to save changes, I pressed no.
is there a way to open file location folder through Spotlight search function? I mean when you do a search on spotlight and it finds the file you are looking for, if you hit ENTER it will automatically open the file (in iTunes if it is a mp3, in InDesidn if it a .indl an so on) what if you want to access the folder the file is on?

It looks like the most recent revison to OS X, that being 10.7.4 moved, or otherwise changed the way the system displays the background image for the login screen. I use a custom image file for mine, and now that same file does not display in 10.7.4Â The file (my coustom image) is still there, but it looks like OS X does not use that file anymore.This is the file name:[URL] how to customize the login screen background in the new build?
My laptop is partitioned, and the startup partition is starting to fill up. I'm trying to figure out what (if anything) I can move to the non-startup partition. My user folder is large due to mobile apps. Can I move the user folder? If not, can I move the mobile apps folder within it?

i did a "clean" install of leopard today and have everything back to normal except for my address book address's. i have backup's on my time machine drive, but where would the address file(s) be located on it? simply copying the address book from the applications folder does not do it of course.
All of a sudden, out of nowhere, I'm having to type in my password just to modify/change a file name or location. How do I get rid of this? I use Lion.

Each time I update the Mavericks OS, it automatically turns on location services even when I have location services turned off and locked. How do I prevent this breach of my personal Information to Apple?
