Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / February 2008Folders
Not sure if this is the right forum, but... Recently bought a mac, and have used windows (from 3.0 to xp) for almost 20 yrs. How in tarnation do you set up folders, like for documents, spreadsheets, pdf's on a mac? It dumps everything into one folder regardless of what it is. Thanks, Matt > Not sure if this is the right forum, but... Recently bought a mac, and have > used windows (from 3.0 to xp) for almost 20 yrs.

You want to create different download folders for IE?? Well I don't think you can..... In addition to the fact that IE for Mac has been abandonned a long time ago by MS now, I don't remember ever seeing this, Actually, I don't remember seeing this in other Mac browsers either. In OmniWeb you can set different folder (on a per site basis), but tha'ts about it. There is a neat workaround though: you can create "folder action scripts" in the Finder for your download folder, sending all PDF to a PDF subfolder, etc (check the Help for the FInder - this is accessible in the contextual menus by ctrl-clicking the Download folder) Corentin  Signature--- Mac:MS MVP http://www.cortig.net/wordpress/ --- http://www.mvps.org - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com MVPs are not MS employees - Les MVP ne travaillent pas pour MS Remove "NoSpam" to e-mail me - Retirez "NoSpam" pour m'écrire Actually, IE has nothing to do with it. I was thinking of "Windows Explorer" where one has a view of each of the directories in different folders. It appears this is a forum for IE, so thank you for your response, but I think I need to look elsewhere.

Any file dumped there can then be organized depending on file-type. Fairly easy to setup :-) You can also sort by kind of course (in list mode) Corentin Signature--- Mac:MS MVP http://www.cortig.net/wordpress/ --- http://www.mvps.org - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com MVPs are not MS employees - Les MVP ne travaillent pas pour MS Remove "NoSpam" to e-mail me - Retirez "NoSpam" pour m'écrire Corentin Cras-Méneur wrote on 4/2/2008 9:44 pm: >> Not sure if this is the right forum, Well no, but anyway... >> but...

Yes, as Corentin mentioned, in your own Documents folder (notice the absence of the demeaning "My"?), create a few Smart folders for each document type. (Assuming OS X 10.4 Tiger, or later.) The originals will remain in your own Documents folder, but the Smart folders will only contain the type of files you specify, as aliases (shortcuts). You could also have a Smart folder for the last 30 days... (I find this helps a lot!) If you view by name, or sort by name, adding a space as the first character, will keep it at the top of the list (or maybe this has this been broken?). HTH, &B-) Ian Please reply to newsgroup!
