Finder problem?
Authored by: googoo on Sep 15, '05 12:50:01PM

I agree that there are problems that occur when you use the Finder to explore outside the normal user directories, but I think that a more desirable solution would be for Apple to fix the Finder so that it does not muck up the system files. Why should there be directories that are not meant to be explored by the Finder?

PS. Disclaimer: I usually (but not always) use the Terminal to look at these "Finder-unfriendly" directories.

You're wrong: No system files were modified(!) - there was ADDED a file to a - for the Finder - invisible folder

Why? - Beacuse you can then avoid the problem described in this thread ;-)
