This one falls into the "obvious when you think about it" category - so many of you will think "doesn't everyone know that" - but it never occurred to me until today! ;o)
Being a Mac user from way before spotlight searches were introduced, I got into the habit of sorting all my documents into folders, then the folders into folders, and so on. Over the years that leads to several levels of nested folders - I know some of you will identify with this obsessive need for order ;o) This works very well for me (and spotlight is always there if I forget where I filed something). It can however be a minor annoyance when using, for example, the "save as" dialogue and having to navigate through the various folders/levels to get to the appropriate folder to file a new document. I tend to put the folders where I am always working into the finder sidebar - so it is easy to go straight to them - it is the other folders, several layers down, which take a few clicks to get there. Then, today, I noticed that the "save as" dialogue box also incorporates the "search" window - so I just put in the name of the folder I wanted to get to and took the "save" process straight there - sweet! As I say, pretty "obvious when you think about it" - but it took me a while to think of it - so it may just help someone else ;o) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
