10.3: Use Command-N to create new folders

The hint worked but I had to relaunch the finder to see the change.

10.3: Use Command-N to create new folders
Authored by: TvE on Dec 01, '03 01:20:18PM

I have done similair tests with this methode (using CMD-something as the shortcut) just before the official release (I am an ADC member ;-)

I found that it worked in a version pre 7B85 (can't remember which), but then I was unable to reproduce this feature in the released version and hence could'nt get it to work.

My problem was that AFTER I had made the change in the pref-file the control panel would then recreate the previous settings when I launched the control panel. I then stopped digging in the problem.

Could you verify that your "behind-the-scenes" changes work even after you have used the control panel to do domething else?

PS.: It might be that the problem I had observed only was present in 7B85 OR that i made a mistake somehow (naaah... ;-)

I can also confirm that it works that way.
The change seems to stick - after making it work it will show up changed in system preferences (using panther).

I can only say THANK YOU!!! This was the hint I have been waiting for ever since 10.0, and a great birthday present...

Now if only the name of the folder (in list view) were editable [it is, but you need a slow computer and type really really fast before the finder changes from text edit mode to selection mode].

I don't have any problems renaming a newly created folder in list view - after hitting CMD-SHIFT-N it creates a folder and put's it in renaming mode (the text is selected...)
