I’m not sure if this still works as everything gets a bit more broken in every new macOS, but context menu ‘Reveal in Finder’ used to be my way to figure out where the search result was.
My latest macOS gripe is that the ability to copy text out of iTunes (something ridiculous like, say, an album description) has...just disappeared? I’d love to know what UI framework shenanigans just straight up break text selection.
- janfoeh 9mo agoAah, don't worry, that's why they introduced system-wide text recognition in images, powered by Apple Intelligence! Just take a screenshot of that album description, and ... sigh
- sunrunner 9mo agoI never actually thought to try such an obvious and definitely-not-ridiculous approach, and I can (happily?) confirm it works, so thanks for that. Apple are certainly leaning into Think Different with this.
- janfoeh 9mo agoI... well, you are welcome :-) Playing around with it for ten seconds, it looks to me you might even use the Shortcuts app to - Take interactive screenshot - Extract text from screenshot - Copy text to clipboard and assign that to a keyboard shortcut to at least clean up this abominable workaround a bit.
- port11 8mo agoThat… sounds like Command-C with extra steps. Modern software…
- VerifiedReports 9mo agoThanks, but right-clicking on every hit, one at a time, and invoking a context menu option to see where it resides would take longer than searching for, downloading, and installing a competent file-search utility like EasyFind.
