I'm not sure what the Tab Bar feature, which was Recently added to macOS to allow any application to have them, has to do with how Finder behaves in regards to creating new windows when double-clicking folders. But if Finder.app needs to have the Toolbar visible to add Tabs then, um, ok. > Also, when I specifically show the tab bar in Finder but hide the toolbar, > then I get back to that (weird compared to other apps) behavior. The behavior brought up in this thread has nothing to do with Tabs (which, as I noted above, is new in relatively new in Finder and even newer in all other apps), it's a Toolbar thing. Users of MacOS 9,8,7,6... remember that double clicking a folder would, by default, open that folder in a new Window. Holding the Option key could close the enclosing window at the same time the new window opened, but the behavior of a Finder window remaining static to display the contents of the double-clicked folder was a new paradigm for Mac OS X. My guess is Apple thought they should provide a way to somewhat mimic the old behavior in the new NeXT/Mac hybrid OS. The behavior has remained the same since then. It's been 18 years; I'm used to it now. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
