Explaining the Finder's view options and toolbar visibility
Authored by: mm2270 on Mar 07, '03 03:45:20PM

I have to agree, sadly. I've been battling with OS X's erratic and frustrating Finder Window and views behaviour since the beta days, and it has not improved much. In fact, it arguably got worse in Jaguar with the ability to show the info tags beneath icons. Turning that on, at least for me, seems to wreak total havoc on my icon views!

And I second another user's question above about whether or not that damned .DS_Store file is really necessary!? With all of Apple's push to make OS X a friendly network citizen, they've probably caused more damage by using the DS_Store file because of how OS X craps in every directory it touches, even Windows servers and machines. I can practically hear the cursing of Wintel Admins around the globe as they go around deleting these things! Apple really needs to find another way of saving window preferences without laying lose stupid mouse droppings in every directory, and they really need to fix the Finder as a whole, 'cause as you said, it's really the worst OS X app that ships with the OS.
