Certainly it must be my fault, that I just don't understand Mac OSX 10.2 Jaguar, so it's out of ignorance that I have a few gripes:
I don't see any way to index my HD in order to do a search by content. I don't find it (an index feature) in the finder prefs or any references to it in my $25.00, 350 page Visual Quickstart Guide. (again, it's probably me but the book seems a bit light on advanced info) Certainly there must be a way of indexing my HD.
I don't see any way to configure the column view to display the file dates other than clicking on each and every one individually. Also, I don't see any hirarchy options for column view, There must be a way of accessing some options, if not I'll stick with view by list. I do like the command key functions for viewing by icon, list or column though, that helps.
When emptying the trash a warning comes up "Are you sure you want to remove the items in the Trash permanently? You cannot undo this action" That's all! Nothing about how many files are in the trash or how much memory they use. Surely there must be a way of turning this sensible warning feature on.
There has to be a way of getting the date to display alongside the time in the menu bar rather than having to click open the window.
How is one supposed to see which applications are currently running other than squinting at those tiny arrows in the dock? (I'm sure I'll come to love the dock if you say so Jim.)There must be another way, but until I find it I'll be missing the old Finder. Simmilarly, when running OS 9.2. Is there a way of knowing it's running other than opening up the System Prefs? Does it matter, do I need to know if 9 is running? Probably not, still, I'd like there to be a more conveniant way of knowing what's running. I guess I could resort to my memory.....er no, I probably couldn't and shouldn't.
Any assistance will be much appreciated.
