@davemark enjoyed the show, didn’t notice the length! Liked the point someone made that taking the hey out of hey Siri was pretty low down their list of priorities (and Jim’s point to just make it work better). I’m still waiting for Apple to give some love to Finder. Like, folders on top all the time as an option. Is that too much to ask? Or cut as well as copy for files? I used xtraFinder for years to keep my sanity but then Apple made me choose between that or SIP.

@Jrogger Really glad it wasn’t TOO long. The time really flew by. Cheers!

@Jrogger Just curious, but when you said “folders on top all the time” for Finder, did you mean have folders as the top items in list view? Or something else? If the former (unless you are looking at this differently) that’s already there in Finder …

I just have to remember how I enabled it though since I remember it being hidden away somewhere … Let me see … Ah yes, in Finder Settings > Advanced … “Keep folders on top” does it.

@davemark

@f thanks, that’s that I want but the existing option is not good enough. That keeps them on top if you sort by name. But if you sort by date, as I usually do, then it doesn’t keep them on to any longer! Why Apple couldn’t have made an option to keep on top all the time as well I don’t understand.

@Jrogger Ah 🙂 I figured it might be that — I mean non-name order. I mostly have things in name order and so this doesn’t hit me most of the time. But then again, I switched to PathFinder a long time ago because of issues like this and the inability to customise a lot of options …

@f I switch between name and date last opened quite a bit. I tried path Finder for a year or more but found it too feature rich. I spent longer looking for what I wanted to do and the look wasn’t great. Plus it never could totally replace Finder, some other apps always opened Finder anyway. I loved the Finder extension xtra Finder.
