[Finale] TAN: Mac Finder question
3 questions: 1. How do I manage many Finder folders in the best way? I quickly end up with too many folders that I can't navigate between too well. 2. Is there a keyboard shortcut to move to the parent view in a Finder folder window? 3. In Mac OS9 there was a UI feature to just display the caption bar of the windows. Is there any equivalent on OSX?

Re: [Finale] TAN: Mac Finder question
Hi Jari, 1) I think you just need to find an organizational method that works best for you. I find that the Search function in Open/Save dialogs is very fast, so I often use that rather than hunt around for the necessary folder. I also often click to sort by Date Modified in Open/Save to put the most recent stuff up top. The Apple menu also has Recent Items (Applications, Documents, and Servers) which I find very helpful. 2) Yes -- cmd-up arrow. Check out the Go menu in the Finder, there are lots of navigation shortcuts! 3) The old OS 9 WindowShade function was replaced with Minimize to Dock (shortcut: cmd-M).

Re: [Finale] TAN: Mac Finder question
Hi Jari, I should also mention that you can ctrl-click on the Finder window toolbar to customize it. There is a Path button available, which I don't think is not part of the default toolbar for some reason, but is obviously extremely helpful.

Jari, You can toggle the Show/Find Path via the View menu in the Finder.

Re: [Finale] TAN: Mac Finder question
Depending on what version of OSX you have you can use the F3 key to organize the windows on the screen. This may or may not be what you are wanting. ___ J.

Re: [Finale] TAN: Mac Finder question
The view menu has a function for customizing the tool bar in dialogue boxes. This information is supplementary to what others are offering, also. The view menu in the finder also has several ways to organize folders. It has shortcuts for navigating through various view within a dialogue box. Organizing by date works well in list view and works with the command + up or down arrow. In the column view you can tab back and forth and also use the arrow keys. I hope this helps.

Re: [Finale] TAN: Mac Finder question
Jari asked: 3. In Mac OS9 there was a UI feature to just display the caption bar of the windows. Is there any equivalent on OSX? I use WindowShade from Unsanity (http://unsanity.com/haxies/wsx), which does just what you ask for, and more. Some people say the software behaves in improper ways and causes system instabilities, but I've never had problems. And I *love* it. I couldn't work without it.
