finder

50% of my computer time I spend sending and receiving files. I'm looking for a way to ctrl-click a file and to have the option somewhere in the ctrl menu to attach the file to a new mail. I use Mail.app and I'm not quite satisfied with the Finder Services menu. Anyone has another option ?

Jaguar on my machine used to never properly remember the width of columns column view... posted a thread about this a few months ago, without much success, though, and other people reported the same little bug. Hoped that that would be gone in Panther, and behold!..., columns default to a...

can i get rid of this thing? can i view the finder as i did in jaguar? kinda skeptical about this new look. peace.

I'm so fed up with the way Finder builds image icon previews that I want to write a little cron job (or login script, or whatever's appropriate) to generate icon previews. Is this possible at all? I checked quickly through the Finder Dictionary (AS) and didn't see anything that looks like...

Sorry, for the subject, but I couldn't explain in a better way. I've just created a graphical java app and I'd like to use it in a .app. As done with XNap, for example, or other java app. I'd like to click it on finder in order to run the app and not have to type: java -jar myapp.jar...

Just curious. I already ordered Panther, so it doesn't really matter either way, but I was just wondering if copy/paste in the Finder is as brain-dead in Panther as it is in Jaguar. For example, if I copy a folder and then move that folder before I paste it somewhere, the Finder can't paste...

this is my problem: i have a mac controlled via remote desktop. yesterday, remote desktop started to have a little problem: it didn't refresh the screen, but the commands worked. so i restarted the remote system and now remote desktop works, but finder crashes if i double-click on an icon on...

I have never experemented with the finder, let alone replaceing it! Is it a good thing to do? Should I just stick with the OSX Finder? Could you guys please give me some input and some good replacement suggestions. Thanks :)

Hi fellows, I have a lil' question for you : Is Panther's Finder multithreaded ?

Here's one thing that REALLY annoys me through 10.2 and I would love to see it fixed in 10.3. In the Finder, when you open a window at least in Column View that has a lot of files/folders in it, when you scroll either with a mouse wheel or just grabbing the scrollbar and pulling down, it's...

Hey, Have any of you noticed an strange behavior by the finder that sometimes force it to be in front -even if you try to start up a program etc. If i then relaunch the finder the strange behavior goes away!

Hi, having a heck of a headache with my IceBook. Earlier tonight, I hooked up my external hard drive (Maxtor). I hadn't had any problems with the Book and had even discussed selling it to a friend who wanted a spare laptop because I was interested in upgrading to a PB. Anyway, I wanted to...

I noticed that you can remove the brushed metal in Safari by going into its bundle and modifying the nib file. It is pretty cool to be able to do this! It seems like nib files are similar to the resource forks that were left behind in OS9. Will Finder be a Cocoa application like Safari in...

I just tried to install the Acrobat 6 upgrade on my dp G4, running 10.2.6. Not only couldn't I install it fully - it crashed every time I tried to enter the serial number - but now my finder's wigged out. Every time I try to access the 'Apple' menu in the top menu bar, the finder crashes. I...

I just got a G4 recently. It's been running well, except for a few issues I've noticed. Unfortunately I have been unable to fix them or determine what's causing them. I need some help. Yeah. First, when I right click on the desktop (or in any folder) the finder crashes. I suspect a menu should...

How is that done? I've tried nfs://x.x.x.x/exported_system in the finder but the response is that there are no file systems available. From other linux boxes it works fine. Thanks for any reply

I burned a DVD, in Mac Extended, which i did before, but never had this problem. Try to open that folder, a few items show, spinning beach ball till finder crashes. All the DVDs I burned prior to this one was on a newer machine. I tested the DVD right after it finished, and it crashed that...

Is there a way to remove the finder icon from the dock?

Is there a way to keep long file sequences (like a lot of targa's or Tif's) to not hang the finder with the spinning beach ball whenever you try to move them around or trash them? OS9 never did this (altough it wasn't instantaneous response, it was nothing like having to wait a minute or two...
