006-mac the Finder operation

1. Show more information in Finder window

Open any Finder window. Go to and open the "Show"-"display Path Bar", "Show"-"display status bar" and "Show"-"Show preview" three items.

The Show path bar is selected

The path bar is usually started from the disk partition, the name is not changed is called "macintosh hd", followed by "user", but the path information of these two items almost no effect, the need to see is generally from the beginning of the personal account of the path behind. Here's an attempt to remove these two path options:

Open terminal and enter the following command:

Defaults write Com.apple.finder pathbarrootathome-bool true;killall Finder

Restore default: Open the terminal, enter the following code and return to restore the original:

Defaults Delete com.apple.finder Pathbarrootathome;killall finder

2. Make the file extension always appear

Open Finder Preferences "top left", select the "Advanced" tab, and then tick the "Always Show file extensions" button. Shortcut keys "Cmd-i shortcut Keys"

3. Enable Finder to display the custom directory by default

"All my Files" is a very useful feature. However, for those who need to follow the directory to display files, each time an additional action is required to open the user directory or other folders. Let's cancel the show All my Files feature by default:

Open Finder Preferences, select the "General" tab, and then select your preferred directory under "Open New Finder Window".

4. Display the user directory in the sidebar

In MAC systems, the vast majority of user files, such as music, photos, etc. are stored in the user directory, so it is recommended that the contents of the user directory be displayed in the Finder sidebar:

Open Finder Preferences, check the "Sidebar" tab, and then remember to tick your username.

5."Personalization"finder Toolbar

Right-click on the Finder Window menu bar and select the "Customize Toolbar" item. Drag and drop some of the buttons you need to the toolbar. I recommend you put the "Show path" and "Connect to the server" to the toolbar.

6. Show full path in Finder title bar

Open terminal, type the following command and enter:

Defaults write Com.apple.finder _fxshowposixpathintitle-bool YES

7. Show Finder hidden files

Open the terminal application and enter the following command:

true ; Killall Finder

Restore default:

false ; Killall Finder

8. Display the file (clip) information

Right-click on the desktop, select "View display Options", select "Show Project Info" item

9.3 shortcut keys you must know 1. Cmd-z: Undo file Copy, move, or delete operation (cmd-z)

▲ Note: If the Finder is restarted, this shortcut will not be rolled back

2. Return (Enter) key: Rename File/Folder

To rename a file/folder, click the Return key after selecting the item (enter)

3. Space (SPACEBAR) key: Instant preview

The Finder has the most handy instant preview feature built in. Select any item in the Finder and press the SPACEBAR. Press the SPACEBAR again to close the preview window immediately.
