Re: expanding andfolders in list view
Hi Dave, So what's the difference between opening and expanding. I mean, if you open something, why does one need to expand it as well? I find some folders in Finder need expanding, and others don't. Folders deeper in the file structure seem to need expanding, whereas ones closer to the surface don't. Do you know why this is? Just curious as I'm still learning so much about the Mac two years on.

Re: expanding andfolders in list view
Hi, To answer your second question first, check all your settings in view menu and preferences, and remember to set any folder that isn't behaving as you like to the view you like. To answer your first question, as I already said, when you open a folder, you just see the contents of that folder, when you expand it, you see its contents as well as everything you could already see, so it's personal preference.

Re: expanding andfolders in list view
I think also that when opening a folder in list view, it becomes the current folder and so pasting files will cause them to paste into that folder. I thought, but may be wrong, that if you didn't open a folder, but just expanded it, then pasting wouldn't put files into the expanded folder, but into it's parent folder, or whatever folder was current. you can check what folder is current by looking to the left of the toolbar. the folder listed there is where pasted files will be placed. I know that column browser view (command 2) causes a folder to become current whenever it is expanded. That is, the current folder is whatever folder you are currently viewing. But, with List view, that's not the case, the current folder is not necessarily the one you're currently viewing. you have to make it current by opening it with command down arrow or command O. Hope that makes sense.
