Wow, I am sure this is great info, but I'm confused! And I'm so confused, I can't say where I need to begin to become unconfused. :)
Sorry folks, I don't mean to be so dense! Marlaina On Dec 16, 2010, at 10:51 AM, Jonathan Cohn wrote: You can use the right arrow to open a folder in browser or list view mode of a finder window. They behave a little differently though, in list mode the list gets longer and in browser mode you get moved over a column. Rading a description of browser mode would probably be hhelpful to folks that do a lot of scanning through folders. I will try to explain... In browser mode there are three or four columns available. The left most column is the highest in the set of folders currently visible. If one turns on "preview" mode for the browser then the right most column will have a Large icon of the folder and a bit more directory / file information (including I believe a "start playing" button for A/V files. What I reallylike about the browser mode, is that if you hit right arrow to view a folder hitting left arrow will bring you to the enclosing folde inwith the folder you just left selected. So if I am looking at "Library/Application Support/Apple" and hit a right arrow "Apple" will be selected and I can hit down arrow to see what the next item in "Library/Application Support" is. in a finder or window or a file selection dialog box, hitting command-3 will put you in browser mode.

I believe there's something that gets tweeked and changes this pattern of interaction. Because, there are times when simply right arrowing will open a folder, and there are other times it needs the command-o.
