Finder: opening file removes undo option

Submitted by mojo2012 on June 20, 2009 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

Problem: Most of the operations that can be done though finder can be undone afterwards, eg. renaming the fileextension. But if you open a file after doing something, the last operation cannot be undone anymore.

In my case I sometimes get ISO files (more...)

Solution: Allow undo even after opening a file between the opening process and the last operation.

Stacks should update changes such as renaming and custom icons

Submitted by migueld on June 30, 2009 to Usability

Problem: When making changes such as renaming files, or customizing icons, they are not updated on a stack. For example, when renaming a file, if the stack is sorted by name, it doesn't re-arrange by the new naming. Also when customizing icons within a folder, (more...)

Solution: Stacks should update any and all changes such as renaming and custom icons.

Finder: use the searchbox for filtering of folder contents

Submitted by mojo2012 on June 24, 2009 to Usability

Problem: The searchbox in the finder window is somehow broken. The fact that everytime you enter a search term the whole computer is searched is simply not understandable (from my point of view).

Solution: I (partly) like the way the "searchbox" in vista/win7 works. So I'have an idea how to adapt such a behaviour to Mac OS X:

Finder: listview and copying files with keyboardshortcut

Submitted by mojo2012 on June 20, 2009 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

Problem: If the Finder is in listview and a sub folder is opened with the "triangle" symbol, the shortcut cmd-v doesn't paste the file in the opened/selected subfolder but in the main folder that is opened in the current finder window.

(more...)

Solution: If a sub folder in listview is "opened" (triangle top is on the bottom) and the folder or a file in the folder is selected, then a cmd-v should paste the file into this folder, and not in the folder that is currently shown in the finder window.

Multimonitor: autodetection fails after unplugging second monitor

Submitted by mojo2012 on June 14, 2009 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

Problem: I have a Macbook Pro and sometimes I connect an external monitor and use it as the main screen. The internal screen is disabled (booting with closed lid). When opening the lid, the internal screen stays black, but after unplugging the external screen, (more...)

Solution: Pressing F7 on Macbook Pro should not only rotate the display mode but include the autodetection to check if the second screen is still there.

(I don't know how other Macs handle that).
