The Go to Folder feature does not show the current path when you're in a Finder window.
In Windows, you can modify the path, eg, change from C:\Users\Scott\Desktop to C:\Users\Fred\Desktop easily just by selecting and typing.
In OSX, the Go To Folder dialogue remembers the last path you entered. So yet another step to drag the current Finder's folder icon into it, and then modify. For example.
- chc 11y agoYou're right, but I don't really think it's too bad. The Go To Folder dialogue generally works like cd. So you can enter a relative path and it will work, you can type ~Fred/Desktop and it will work, and you can type lon[TAB]/ot[TAB] and get longfoldername/otherlongfolder. They have different strengths, I suppose.
- scott_karana 11y agoI didn't realize you could tab-complete there, that's awesome. Are there any other "generic text-areas" that actually support that? Discoverability again... :)
