Finder is a special beast, I think. It doesn’t seem to follow the same UX rules, possibly for legacy reasons. That’s no excuse, since it’s obviously one of the most used interfaces on Mac, but you’re right the UI is unintuitive by today’s standards. One of my favorite examples: when navigating folders with arrow keys, the enter key will rename the folder, and it takes a chord cmd-o to enter it. That’s not the best choice anymore, if it ever was.
- alpaca128 3y agoToday I discovered a new Finder oddity and I'm not sure what triggered it: when I open any folder on any external USB harddrive (but not SSD!) finder opens the folder in a new window that contains no UI other than the area showing the files & folders. Going five folders deep means five separate windows. I have no idea what's going on because I know it didn't always behave that way.
