What view to you use on the finder and which is easier for beginner?

2010-06-23 Thread Alfredo
I use the list view on my windows pc using jaws, and would like to use
the same view on the mac but i want to know which one you guys think
is easier for beginners and better for a voice over user?  What is the
difference between list view and column view, I do not understand what
is the difference, seems like the difference is just that with list
view you have to use the vo keys and the backslash, while with the
column view you do not use these.  Is the cover flow view accesible or
even functional for a blind user to view.  I like the idea of being
able to preview my documents but can I use it?
Any opinion would be grealty appreciated.

the icon view is like the same thing on the windows side list view because the 
list view in windows isn't really  is actually more like the icon view.

I use list view as its much easier, just press command + 2 to switch to view 
mode.  Even when I was sighted I did not care much for list  or icon  grid 
mode, list is a bit like scrolling horizontal level of floors a bit like going 
up and down levels in a elevator but you can see more then one level at a time. 
 Just use quick view to preview your documents by hitting space.  

However if you do have some useful vision then cover flow is useful, especially 
when flicking through pictures and pdfs

Hi,

I like column view.  I just find it quick and easy to get in and out of folders 
just using the arrows.

I'm with Ricardo on this one, and for exactly the same reasons.  However, I 
would be surprised that, given the diversity of people/opinion on this list if 
you don't get an advocate for all of the provided views.

Cheers

2010-06-23 Thread Alfredo
I think that the column view would be nice as is the list view, i will
try both of these.  as  for beginners i thinkt aht the list view is
better since it uses the voice over keys whcih i think a beginner
should get used to since they use these keys alot in the OS.  thanks,
alfredo
