Setting activities
Hi folks, I'm not having much luck setting up an activity for Safari. All I want is that when Safari starts, quicknav be turned on and turned off again when I leave Safari. I've gone into VO Utility with vo f8. I've chosen activity which is the last row in the table. I've entered Safari in the first row of the activities table. I've checked the additional settings to include checkbox. I've checked quick nav. And yet quick nav doesn't turn on when I go into Safari. Should any of the other boxes be checked? I checked keyboard also, but this makes no difference. Any other suggestions? Thanks for your help.

Re: Setting activities
Hi, did you actually pick the activity to be used with Safari? You didn't mention that step in your message.

Re: Setting activities
Hi Ricardo I thought turning on quick nav was picking the activity. I wondered if I was missing a step but don't understand how to pick the activity I'm sure it's easy if you know how (smile).

Re: Solution to Multiple Messages in Mail.app and a question about VIP's
Hello Harry. Re VIP I'm going to do some investigating once I've left work later today as I think I know how VIP works. I will be testing it out later on and report back. Kawal. On 8 Aug 2012, at 02:45 AM, Harry Hogue harryhog...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, guys, For those of you, like me, who use Gmail to access your mail and the Apple Mail client to read your mail, if you want philters on your messages, or even if you don't , you may occasionally find that messages are duplicated because of Gmail's folder system (which they call labels). I found an article just now that explained how to clear up this confusion, and have successfully applied it. I don't know if there is an accessible version of gmail.com, but I went into settings and clicked on the labels tab (it took me some time to play with it to figure out how to get there) and unchecked everything concerned with Show in iMap list. This way all I have is a single folder in Mail.app which says, Gmail, where all my messages are. With this in mind, I am now going to go and recreate my Mac Visionaries rule with a mailbox in Mail, and hopefully this will clarify things. I have no idea how that will affect things -- if messages may be missed because they are then not pulled to the mail client because of being tagged as important, etc. and therefore may not appear in my filtered list of messages, but it is definitely worth a try, and I wanted to pass this tip along to others. In other words, if it helps clear up some confusion, all the better. I was getting very tired of duplicate messages. They are probably still on Gmail's server, which I would prefer they not be -- so maybe I should uncheck or just remove some of the labels all together. I'm not sure, and if anyone has thoughts on this, I'm open to hearing them. In the meantime, I'm off to create a rule which will hopefully keep me more organized. On another note, is anyone familiar with the new VIP feature in Mail and how that might work with VoiceOver? As I understand it, it is a way to be notified of an incoming message form a particular person, and I suppose the notification arrives via notification center?

sorting randomly tracks in playlist before burning
Hello Listers, I've created an mp3 playlist of over 100 tracks to be burnt to a CD. Is there a way of randomly arranging these tracks so that they do not appear as albums? What I'm after is something akin to a shuffle situation where when you listen to your cd the songs do not play according to where they are in a respective album but play somewhat randomly. My cd player does not have shuffle facility. Many thanks for your tips. Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Getting Mission Control out of the way.
Hi There, I only unchecked two items, Control-Up Arrow and Control-Down arrow. Veronica was correct in that any time I activated Mission Control, it related to shutting up speech and hitting one of the arrows too quickly. If it turns out other items need to be unchecked, I'll be vigilant as to what keystrokes invoked this behavior.

Re: messages app for chatting with Facebook friends?
Only one problem with that approach, and that problem is a deal breaker in my not so humble opinion: You can actually like and comment using Trillian, although you apparently have to route the mouse cursor to where you want to reply and/or like, otherwise you can mess up things as i learned just the other day, but here is the real no-go: You can type a message to post as a status update but neither on Trillians facebook nor twitter implementations does VO see the button to post the status updates and no shortcuts exist. This, in my as i said earlier not so humble opinion is a show stopper and makes me refrain from using Trillian at all. /Krister 8 aug 2012 kl. 05:56 skrev Shawn Krasniuk bigbigshawn@gmail.com: Hi.

RE: Infovox ivox mananger/voices
If they ever make it possible to use acapella voices with vo on Ios devices, I'd start saving up for an IPhone right away. As it is, my one of the things I'm dreading the most, apart from having to learn the touch screen, is dealing with Samantha on a constant basis. I can't explain why, but that voice just irritates me beyond all reason. It's why I bought a booksense instead of a victor reader. I'm sure it would be possible to make infovox voices for IOS, and I understand that they'd have to be purchased separately, but I sure wish they'd make it allowable to use voices from other venders. Nuance is seriously over-rated in my opinion . Infovox voices are great, and if there's no way to make Alex for IOS, I think we should be able to use infovox if we want to.

Re: Infovox ivox mananger/voices
I've strongly suggested to apple accessibility a number of times that they open up the speech api to the system so that voices can be used across applications, but that's not apple's way. That's why I'm an android user even though the accessibility is a bit behind compared to the IPhone. I just feel more comfortable being able to choose my speech, my input device, my non-proprietary peripherals.

Re: Setting activities
You have to select an application with which to associate the activity if you want this to happen automatically. At the end of all the settings for the activity should be a popup button; open that and select any applications in which you want this activity to start. For instance, you may want to do this for both Safari and App Store as both rely on html content. Once you are done, that activity should turn on whenever you focus on any application set. Note, however, that there will now be a delay of a second or three when switching to or from the application(s) as vo switches to and from the activity. If all else fails, vo-x will let you pick from all the activities you have created.

Interact with preference panes scroll area. 3. VO-right-arrow to the keyboard button. Note: You will pass by Mission control, which does contain some keyboard options. But these are for keyboard commands while you're in Mission control, so they're not what we're after at the moment. 4. Select keyboard and VO-right-arrow to the keyboard shortcuts tab and select it. Note: You'll pass by the keyboard tab on the way to the keyboard shortcuts tab. 5. VO-right-arrow till you hear shortcut categories table. 6. On mine, Mission control was the first item in the table. If it isn't for you, up and down arrow till you find mission control. 7. Then VO-right-arrow past a vertical splitter, then you'll find mission control shortcuts table. 8. Here's where it got interesting for me. If you don't interact with the shortcuts table, you can up and down arrow, hearing checkboxes which are either checked or unchecked. But of course, you can't change the state of the checkboxes. Once you interact, you can uncheck these boxes, you just can't tell what you're unchecking. So I just kept tabbing and shift-tabbing back and forth, being careful that I didn't get myself into a strange table and uncheck some big thing somewhere. grin.But when you're not interacting with the shortcuts table, you will see things like application windows, control-down-arrow. If you count from the top, knowing which one this is, just interact, uncheck that box and your life will be so much more peaceful. 9. If you stop interacting with the shortcuts table, you can VO-right-arrow to the place where you can decide how the tab key behaves. Or you can just close with Command-W and enjoy your Mac life.

But these are for keyboard commands while you're in Mission control, so they're not what we're after at the moment. 4. Select keyboard and VO-right-arrow to the keyboard shortcuts tab and select it. Note: You'll pass by the keyboard tab on the way to the keyboard shortcuts tab. 5. VO-right-arrow till you hear shortcut categories table. 6. On mine, Mission control was the first item in the table. If it isn't for you, up and down arrow till you find mission control. 7. Then VO-right-arrow past a vertical splitter, then you'll find mission control shortcuts table. 8. Here's where it got interesting for me. If you don't interact with the shortcuts table, you can up and down arrow, hearing checkboxes which are either checked or unchecked. But of course, you can't change the state of the checkboxes. Once you interact, you can uncheck these boxes, you just can't tell what you're unchecking. So I just kept tabbing and shift-tabbing back and forth, being careful that I didn't get myself into a strange table and uncheck some big thing somewhere. grin.But when you're not interacting with the shortcuts table, you will see things like application windows, control-down-arrow. If you count from the top, knowing which one this is, just interact, uncheck that box and your life will be so much more peaceful. 9. If you stop interacting with the shortcuts table, you can VO-right-arrow to the place where you can decide how the tab key behaves. Or you can just close with Command-W and enjoy your Mac life. Anyway, there may be an easier path, but I hope this made sense and did some good.

Re: Setting activities
I believe the first column in that table is name of activity. So, you might call it Safari VO, or something; I'm not really sure what the purpose of naming an activity is, other than to quickly identify it, which seems redundant since activities themselves are application specific. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Getting Mission Control out of the way.
I use VO up and down arrow literally all the time, and by itself, neither keystrokes brings up MC. I wonder if this also might be born upon by the hardware/software key toggle in Prefs/Keyboard; I.e., setting the function keys to use hardware functions as opposed to software might alleviate the problem? • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Hi Krysti, You can sample the Infovox iVox voices yourself to check the quality at the AssistiveWare web page: http://www.assistiveware.com/product/infovox-ivox/voices They're grouped alphabetically by language. English is listed as English -- American English and English -- British English. You can navigate to the language category you want (e.g., using item chooser menu, VO-i, if you want to skip over other languages), then set your web rotor (VO-u) to links, and VO-space to play the samples.

Re: sorting randomly tracks in playlist before burning
Hi Andrew, The way to randomize your playlist is to use a smart playlist. Just after the rules section there's a checkbox with limit conditions. So, for example, if I wanted to create a random playlist of as many of my purchased iTunes tracks as would fit onto a CD, I might have a rule like Playlist is New Purchases and then check the box after the rules section and specify Limit to 700 MB selected by random. The limit lets you set a menu popup to specify time (minutes or hours), size (MB or GB), or items for the quantity you type in the text box. Then there's a selection popup menu for your criteria, which can be random or tag fields like album, artist, genre, or name, or your rating (highest or lowest), or according to how recently or frequently you play the tracks or whether you want the most recently added tracks. The size limit specification is good for playlists that you easy burn to CDs or DVDs or that you want to transfer to an iOS device. The time limit is convenient if you want to make a playlist to fill up the time for your commute or to make a workout playlist for time in a gym. You can get very elaborate about ways to construct your playlists, by using smart playlists that apply conditional selections to other regular or smart playlists, especially if these are used on iPods or iOS devices that support live updating. So if you decided to make a smart playlist to listen to items in your music library that you hadn't played in the last three months, and had the live updating box checked, your iPod, iPhone, or iPad would also keep track of items you listened to on that device, and not repeat any of those tracks when you play from your smart playlist. Further, if you sync your smart playlist and device, the iTunes library on your Mac would also update with the information of which tracks you had played on your device, and not include them when you played from the same smart playlist on your computer. And the easiest example of using live updating when playing from a smart playlist on an iPod or iOS device is to construct one for listening to an audiobook consisting of multiple mp3 tracks. Add a rule like Plays is 0, and play your book from the smart playlist. As soon as you finish listening to a track, the play counter increments, and it drops off of your smart playlist. So the currently playing track in your smart playlist is always to latest track that you haven't finished listening to, because your device updates the information on whether or not that track was played. By contrast, a regular playlist for that audiobook or a smart playlist that did not live update when played on your device, away from iTunes on your computer, would always start at the first track in the playlist. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Aug 7, 2012, at 11:40 PM, Andrew Lamanche wrote: Hello Listers, I've created an mp3 playlist of over 100 tracks to be burnt to a CD. Is there a way of randomly arranging these tracks so that they do not appear as albums? What I'm after is something akin to a shuffle situation where when you listen to your cd the songs do not play according to where they are in a respective album but play somewhat randomly. My cd player does not have shuffle facility. Many thanks for your tips.- Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Voice Changer that Works Through Skype
It also depends on how much security is required. If they need obfuscation then you doing a pitch drop can just as easily be undone by somebody else. I wouldn't rely on tools built just for fun if you're really in need of protecting somebody's identity. Might be best to just have them send text and record it being read by VoiceOver. Anything that is driven by the original audio can be unmasked.

Re: office headset?
Amazon lists one new for $310 and one used for $193.71. But yes, my initial impression was that this headset was expensive. Even the discounted prices seem to be around $260.

vo repeating rows in mail?
Hi all, In mail, I often get to hear a row multiple times. Vo will start to read it, then start over, and sometimes start over a second time.

In my gmail account I can see all the folders but not under iCloud. I don't think my iCloud is collapsed, Voiceover does not say so, nor do any attempts to expand work. I have so far only used the classic view in Mail as I am too uncertain of using the standard view. Any thoughts? If iCloud is not collapsed, then where are my folders?

apple, icloud, and security.
Hi folks, I share this article from Wired magazine. It is on line, and an amazing commentary on many things. actually the steps these hackers took, easy enough for anyone to do, reminded me of the guy caught in California for getting into more than 50 women's facebook accounts, just using stuff all can find on their wall. I agree with the author, it might have been worse, if the hackers had been in the mood. the mood they were in was bad enough, careless indifference can do as much harm as intentional destruction. The other aspect of social commentary is beyond the scope of this list. why anyone feels the *need* to chain their life together like this, to follow others on twitter etc. One fundamental fact remains from the start of computing...back. it. up. always!

He just had his digital life dissolved by hackers. In the space of one hour, my entire digital life was destroyed. First my Google account was taken over, then deleted. Next my Twitter account was compromised, and used as a platform to broadcast racist and homophobic messages. And worst of all, my AppleID account was broken into, and my hackers used it to remotely erase all of the data on my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook. In many ways, this was all my fault. My accounts were daisy-chained together. Getting into Amazon let my hackers get into my Apple ID account, which helped them get into Gmail, which gave them access to Twitter. Had I used two-factor authentication for my Google account, it's possible that none of this would have happened, because their ultimate goal was always to take over my Twitter account and wreak havoc. Lulz. Had I been regularly backing up the data on my MacBook, I wouldn't have had to worry about losing more than a year's worth of photos, covering the entire lifespan of my daughter, or documents and e-mails that I had stored in no other location. Those security lapses are my fault, and I deeply, deeply regret them. But what happened to me exposes vital security flaws in several customer service systems, most notably Apple's and Amazon's. Apple tech support gave the hackers access to my iCloud account. Amazon tech support gave them the ability to see a piece of information -- a partial credit card number -- that Apple used to release information. In short, the very four digits that Amazon considers unimportant enough to display in the clear on the web are precisely the same ones that Apple considers secure enough to perform identity verification. The disconnect exposes flaws in data management policies endemic to the entire technology industry, and points to a looming nightmare as we enter the era of cloud computing and connected devices. This isn't just my problem. Since Friday, Aug. 3, when hackers broke into my accounts, I've heard from other users who were compromised in the same way, at least one of whom was targeted by the same group.

Re: toggle reader?
Command Shift R toggles the reader. It looks for a huge chunk of text and puts a frame around it. It's an attempt by Safari to be sort of AI within context. Usually it works pretty well, but on crowded pages, sometimes images get mixed in with even the largest chunks of text. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

I can't open folders from my dock.
OK, before I start, I do not think this is a bug. I kind of remember that there was a setting that I have to change to make this work, but I don't remember what nor where. Basically, I have a couple of folders in my dock. Obviously, my downloads, my documents, my trash, etc. but in addition to that, there are a couple of other folders which I access very very frequently that I have manually added from the finder with command+shift+T to my dock. I can't figure out though after doing vo+D and focusing on the folders, how to open them. Return isn't working, and neither is space bar, nor is command+O. The only two ways I've found is to hit vo+shift+m to open the shortcut menu, then vo+space on Open, or more confusingly, route my mouse with vo+command+F5, then vo+shift+space twice to do a double click. I remember there being a way to get it where return would open it, I kind of remember something about changing the apearance to list or something.

I found an article just now that explained how to clear up this confusion, and have successfully applied it. I don't know if there is an accessible version of gmail.com, but I went into settings and clicked on the labels tab (it took me some time to play with it to figure out how to get there) and unchecked everything concerned with Show in iMap list. This way all I have is a single folder in Mail.app which says, Gmail, where all my messages are. With this in mind, I am now going to go and recreate my Mac Visionaries rule with a mailbox in Mail, and hopefully this will clarify things. I have no idea how that will affect things -- if messages may be missed because they are then not pulled to the mail client because of being tagged as important, etc. and therefore may not appear in my filtered list of messages, but it is definitely worth a try, and I wanted to pass this tip along to others. In other words, if it helps clear up some confusion, all the better. I was getting very tired of duplicate messages. They are probably still on Gmail's server, which I would prefer they not be -- so maybe I should uncheck or just remove some of the labels all together. I'm not sure, and if anyone has thoughts on this, I'm open to hearing them. In the meantime, I'm off to create a rule which will hopefully keep me more organized. On another note, is anyone familiar with the new VIP feature in Mail and how that might work with VoiceOver? As I understand it, it is a way to be notified of an incoming message form a particular person, and I suppose the notification arrives via notification center?

Re: I can't open folders from my dock.
Hi Chris and Others, In order to be viewable by VoiceOver, folders in your dock have to be set to view content as List and display as Folder. The default is to display as Stack and view as either Fan or Automatic. In this mode, VoiceOver doesn't display the contents in a format you can browse when you try to view them. Use your contextual menu (VO-Shift-M) to set up these options one at a time. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Aug 8, 2012, at 8:59 AM, Chris Gilland wrote: OK, before I start, I do not think this is a bug.

Re: iTunes promting me for password
Are these items purchased content through iTunes? In either case, iTunes is likely trying to access the Store when it opens. By default, when you open an item from the Desktop, or any other location for that matter, iTunes will make a copy of those items in its own iTunes Library. Therefore, instead of accessing them from the Desktop, go into iTunes first and then play the songs from there. You can also place all the items from that folder on your Desktop into a Playlist if you wish so that they remain together. The iTunes media player is more than just a player so it prefers to have it's media cataloged and residing within its Library. For those used to some other media players, this is difficult to get used to but after you do, it is easy to work with and quite a powerful media manager. Later...

Re: Can't see my folders under iCloud account in Mountain Lion
Dear tim, I feel such a fool! I've just went to the machine where I have mountain lion installed, opened Mail again, and interacted with the list of mailboxes, and this time I did find the iCloud mailbox which reported to be collapsed. I expanded it and there they were, all my folders. I can't explain why I couldn't see them before but I swear I did go many a time through the mailbox list both interacting and not interacting with the list.

VIP Mail and Strange behaviours in my mailbox list.
Hello. I got my VIP folder set up in mail but now I seem to have duplicated items i.e. the items were already saved in another mail folder but now the items are saved in two mailboxes. Can I delete one lot of items or will the items be deleted in both mailboxes? My other problem is now in the mailboxes table as well as the VIP mailbox, I also have another mailbox underneath which is called my contact recipient's name is this supposed to happen? Also if I move further down the mailbox list, I have another mailbox called Today. This happened when I created a VIP or perhaps a rule. If I delete Today will the mail get deleted out of my inbox? Your replies are most welcome. Thanks in advance. Kawal. Thanks in advance. Kawal. On 8 Aug 2012, at 21:41, Harry Hogue harryhog...@gmail.com wrote: ah, but Matthew, the filters now work for me.

On Aug 7, 2012, at 9:45 PM, Harry Hogue wrote: Hi, guys, For those of you, like me, who use Gmail to access your mail and the Apple Mail client to read your mail, if you want philters on your messages, or even if you don't , you may occasionally find that messages are duplicated because of Gmail's folder system (which they call labels). I found an article just now that explained how to clear up this confusion, and have successfully applied it. I don't know if there is an accessible version of gmail.com, but I went into settings and clicked on the labels tab (it took me some time to play with it to figure out how to get there) and unchecked everything concerned with Show in iMap list. This way all I have is a single folder in Mail.app which says, Gmail, where all my messages are. With this in mind, I am now going to go and recreate my Mac Visionaries rule with a mailbox in Mail, and hopefully this will clarify things. I have no idea how that will affect things -- if messages may be missed because they are then not pulled to the mail client because of being tagged as important, etc. and therefore may not appear in my filtered list of messages, but it is definitely worth a try, and I wanted to pass this tip along to others. In other words, if it helps clear up some confusion, all the better. I was getting very tired of duplicate messages. They are probably still on Gmail's server, which I would prefer they not be -- so maybe I should uncheck or just remove some of the labels all together. I'm not sure, and if anyone has thoughts on this, I'm open to hearing them. In the meantime, I'm off to create a rule which will hopefully keep me more organized. On another note, is anyone familiar with the new VIP feature in Mail and how that might work with VoiceOver? As I understand it, it is a way to be notified of an incoming message form a particular person, and I suppose the notification arrives via notification center?

Re: I can't open folders from my dock.
OK Ester, that is bringing up a menu when I hit return on the folder now. OK, one of the options says open in finder, but still it's bringing up the sub folders within the folder in a contextual menu as sub menus. Can I not get it where it literally by default when I hit return on the folder in the doc, it opens in a full fledged Finder window instead of a contextual menu? Chris.

Audio Hijack Pro, Weirdness when Selecting Days of the week?
Hi everyone, I'm trying to get my head around what's happening in Audio Hijack Pro when I attempt to schedule recordings on certain weekdays. I select the every pop-up button, and then use VO-right arrow to navigate through the days of the week list and check the ones I desire. however, it seems like the very act of navigating between these check boxes with VO-left and right is changing a setting. If I tab through the list and check each desired day with the space bar, my recording is scheduled correctly. However, if I ever inadvertently VO into that list of days, my settings are lost, and it reverts back to scheduling recordings on every Monday. Are there any fixes for this or is it just one of those small annoyances in life we need to work around?

Re: Voice Changer that Works Through Skype
I should have been more specific. The person is being interviewed live on the radio via Skype. It's important that we protect the person's identity for reasons of privacy and safety. the interview cannot be pre taped, as the interviewee insists on doing the interview live. So, again, if anyone knows of software that can achieve this, I'd be most grateful. Kevin On 2012-08-08, at 11:22 AM, Chris Blouch wrote: It also depends on how much security is required.

Re: Audio Hijack Pro, Weirdness when Selecting Days of the week?
Yes, Al, I noticed this, too. Tab with spacebar is the best bet. You could also turn cursor tracking off and then use VO to check the boxes, but that seems like the long way round. I don't have an explanation for this behavior, but the workaround is quite doable, so I haven't really pursued it.

Re: Getting Mission Control out of the way.
Hi there! Less is right. There are other things you may or may not want to uncheck in that list. You'll find control-left-arrow, and F12, hich opens dash board, or at least it did in Lion. grin But there is also F11 to open the desktop. I like to use that one sometimes, so I don't uncheck that box. That's why a good old-fashioned snoop is in order here. Have fun!

Okay, I'm on the MacBook now so I thought I'd share what I did to get rid of Mission Control's annoying unwanted appearances. 1. go into system preferences. 2. Interact with preference panes scroll area. 3. VO-right-arrow to the keyboard button. Note: You will pass by Mission control, which does contain some keyboard options. But these are for keyboard commands while you're in Mission control, so they're not what we're after at the moment. 4. Select keyboard and VO-right-arrow to the keyboard shortcuts tab and select it. Note: You'll pass by the keyboard tab on the way to the keyboard shortcuts tab. 5. VO-right-arrow till you hear shortcut categories table. 6. On mine, Mission control was the first item in the table. If it isn't for you, up and down arrow till you find mission control. 7. Then VO-right-arrow past a vertical splitter, then you'll find mission control shortcuts table. 8. Here's where it got interesting for me. If you don't interact with the shortcuts table, you can up and down arrow, hearing checkboxes which are either checked or unchecked. But of course, you can't change the state of the checkboxes. Once you interact, you can uncheck these boxes, you just can't tell what you're unchecking. So I just kept tabbing and shift-tabbing back and forth, being careful that I didn't get myself into a strange table and uncheck some big thing somewhere. grin.But when you're not interacting with the shortcuts table, you will see things like application windows, control-down-arrow. If you count from the top, knowing which one this is, just interact, uncheck that box and your life will be so much more peaceful. 9. If you stop interacting with the shortcuts table, you can VO-right-arrow to the place where you can decide how the tab key behaves. Or you can just close with Command-W and enjoy your Mac life. Anyway, there may be an easier path, but I hope this made sense and did some good.

Organizing files and folders
Hi everyone! This discussion of setting up folders reminded me of a question I've had for a long time. Coming from the Windows world, when I'd go into my documents folder, I was used to finding the folders listed first, then all of the files in alphabetical order. It drives me crazy having the file and folder names all mixed up together like this. Is there any way to sort things so that I see folders first? Just curious. Thanks.
