An AppleScript to emulate an up button
Authored by: jackmon on Jan 06, '04 08:03:39PM

You can use the popup menu or the Command-up arrow, but going up a directory is such a common task that there really ought to be a one-click (non-keyboard) way to do it. It would be like saying: Why do you need a lever to flush your toilet when you can just take off the ceramic top and pull the chain? That's only two steps.

Actually, the lack of an up-button is for me, the single most annoying part of using an otherwise brilliant operating system. And it's so silly because it would have been so easy for Apple to have put one in the Finder customization section.

Oh well... maybe they'll add it in 10.4.
