Mac Forum / Country Specific / Australian Mac Group / November 2003Renaming, easier way..?
Hi, I have a Mac cube running Pather 10.3.1and was wondering with the Mac renaming files seems to be a chore. I am trying to rename (and sometimes move) my Itunes files as they are in the wrong section/box. I put the pointer over the file and it seems to take a lonnggg time before a box appears to rename. Is there another way? Am I doing this wrong? Double click? I see there is no ³renaming²in the tool bar. This would be easier, wouldn¹t it? Any help please Thanks. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Any help please www.macupdate.com type 'renam' in the search box :) > > Hi, > > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > type 'renam' in the search box :) Thanks for that one Jason. I too am finding the Panther Finder slow and quite annoying at times. BTW, is there any way to multiple-select non sequential files, like the old shift-click did?? I don't seem to be able to select two files without catching everything in between. You got a gizmo for that? Sorry, not gizmo, widget - showing my age there.

Muchas gracias for that guys, I tried every other combination, plus trying it while whistling Dixie. Guess I was out of tune... I got the Howto Train Panthers book on order, but of course it has to come from Bloody Mars... Thanks. I HATE feeling like a Nube again!

I find it's cheaper and faster to order books/DVDs from Amazon than from the local ripoff merchants :D > Thanks. I HATE feeling like a Nube again!

Amazon IS Mars, and they've ignored 2 orders of mine. UNSW bookshop is pretty good, and we (estudiantes) get a discount (if we're patient). n00b schnube Nikki > > > Hi, > > > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > able to select two files without catching everything in between.

Quick as I am to leap to Panther's defence, this is one of the most frustrating aspects of the post-classic world, that and having to command-shift-n for a new folder and command-l instead of m for an alias. If there's a fix for these I'll be eternally indebted* to the provider. JTS, I loathe for the most part going back to the old 7600 in the rumpus room when the missus is using the eMac. * metaphorically, anyway. > > > Hi, > > > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > Nikki > Quick as I am to leap to Panther's defence, this is one of the most > frustrating aspects of the post-classic world, that and having to [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > * metaphorically, anyway. Why not just customize the toolbar? drag the new folder icon to it? > Quick as I am to leap to Panther's defence, this is one of the most > frustrating aspects of the post-classic world, that and having to > command-shift-n for a new folder and command-l instead of m for an > alias.

Edit ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and search for "New Folder". Copy the entry (it's 2 lines) and rename one to "New Finder Window". Finally, remove the $ from the key part of the New Folder entry. You need both entries there or Finder refuses to use the shortcuts. Cmd-N is now New Folder and Cmd-Shift-N is New Finder Window.
