Find window in Safari

Is there are way to keep the find window visible in Safari? It goes away when I go to a new webpage.

You should see it in Safari - Preferences - Extensions.
As the link says, there's a 'trigger key' option, which you would probably disable. After that, unless you're typing in a text field, anything you type will be searched for & highlighted on the page.

  • Unable to open Finder window from Safari download list

    I have just noticed today that I cannot click the magnifying glass in the download list in Safari to open the Finder window with the location of the download.
    I have tried deleting the PLIST file as well as reinstall Safari - still can't get it to work.
    Anyone have some ideas?

    If you are referring to the com.apple.Safari.plist try something different.
    Quit Safari.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy/paste:  ~/Library/Safari
    Click Go then move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari to test.

  • When my most front window is a safari one and I use the shortcut key "Command N", it opens a new finder window and a new safari window at the same time. Why does it happen?

    I just found the solution!

    Re: Why is my Finder window popping up when I open my Safari window? 
    Jan 20, 2008 7:58 PM (in response to alak)
    Open the General tab of the Safari preferences and correct the home page; the default page is this one. If it has become set to a folder on an FTP server or a local drive, that request will be sent to the Finder. (28252)

  • Finder window always opens when I enter TM with Safari as active app

    I want to recover some bookmarks I think I must have accidentally deleted in Safari, so I plug in the firewire drive I'm using with TM into my laptop and wait until the drive mounts on the desktop. I launch Safari and make sure it's the active application (it says "Safari" next to the apple in the menu bar at the top of the screen and I have a Safari window open). I make sure there are no other applications running and the finder has no open windows. I launch TM. A Finder window opens, and the default directory it opens to is my Desktop, unless I already have a finder window open to some other directory. This happens every time I launch TM so I can never actually use TM to recover my deleted bookmarks. So in other words I never have the option to restore anything in Safari. Interestingly, this problem does not occur when I launch TM with the Mail application as the active application. I thought I'd read that you can restore deleted Safari bookmarks with TM, but is it actually not designed to restore anything in the Safari app or is my TM simply malfunctioning? I have tried to get this to work numerous times, including after reboots and after running new TM backups.

    Actually, this is normal behavior since Safari is not yet one the 'Time Machine Aware' applications. You are not going to easily be able to restore individual bookmarks. But you restore ALL of your bookmarks from any given backup. do the following:
    First, quit Safari.
    Go the the folder here...
    /Users/<youruserfolder>/Library/Safari
    Highlight the file labled bookmarks.plist.
    While holding the "Option" key down, drag this file to the desktop. This will create a copy there in case you wish to return to this set of bookmarks later.
    Now launch the Time Machine "time Travel" interface from the Dock.
    Using the time scale on the right, navigate back to a date that contained the missing bookmarks.
    Click "Restore" in the lower right.
    Choose to replace your current set of bookmarks with this one.
    Once completed, launch Safari and the restored bookmarks are available.
    Later, you can drag the bookmarks file on the desktop back to the Safari folder to return to your previous set. Otherwise you can delete it.
    Let us know if this resolve your issue.
    Cheers!

  • Safari has tabbed windows, why not Finder windows?

    Having 7 different finder windows open at once can be quite annoying and difficult to navigate through. I would much rather have one or two windows open and however many tabs for each. It doesn't seem like it would be anything difficult to add, so why not offer it?

    There are a ton of usability issues to contend with that Safari doesn't have to deal with.
    So many that Finder seems to get markedly buggier and quirkier with each new release. It is as if it is in perpetual late beta development, with new features grafted on before the old ones are completely perfected. The last thing we need is yet another one until Apple fully sorts out the code already there.

  • Attaching files from Safari and FF- Finder window takes forever to pop up

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having a strange problem with my Finder. When I am in Safari or FF (Using 10.6.3) and I click the button to select a file to upload on any website, it take the finder window about 20-30 seconds to pop up. This happens every time I want to navigate to select a file. I get the spinning beach ball and the Finder window finally pops up generally 20 seconds later. I checked this in another user account on my machine and it has the same problem. I don't think it's a Safari or FF problem, as it's doing it in both browsers---anyone have any idea why it would take forever for the Finder selection window to pop up?

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences and move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
    The tilde "~" character represents your home folder.
    Since the problem happens in more then account I'm not sure if trashing the .plist file will help but won't hurt to try.
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    anyone have any idea why it would take forever for the Finder selection window to pop up?
    Try repairing disk permissions...
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and *restart your Mac.*

  • Safari 7.0 crashes when opening the finder-window

    hey
    since I installed mavericks, Safari always crashes (rainbow-wheel and hang on), when I try to save or load or even print something and the finder-window opens.
    I cannot select any files...
    I already deactivated all extensions and plug-ins and deleted the ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db - unfortunately no improvement.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for the help!!!

  • Can not upload anything when Finder window pops up on Mavericks

    Running Mavericks here and just can not upload anything anymore on Facebook for example, it also happens on other webpages too where the finder window pops up to select a file to upload. The browser freezes and I have to force quit it, tried Safari, Chrome and Firefox... all the same, this leads me to believe it's a Finde issue. Don't know what to do! Bellow the crash report:

    I have the same issue and found it was specific to uploading something from My Desktop.  I finally found this article which helped but when I completely quit Firefox i continue to get the error.  I then go back in, double-click to toggle from false to true again, quit Firefox and the problem goes away again.  I do not understand anything further to this problem and do not want to continue to repeat this process every time I quite Firefox.  Any suggestions or other help?

  • New Finder window slow?

    When opening a new window in Finder, using cmd+n. It takes noticeably longer in Yosemite than in Mavericks for the new window to appear. I just tried it on a MBA we have at home which still runs Mavericks. And there is a difference.
    In Yosemite there's a slight delay. Feels like about half a second for the window to open after the key is pressed. In Mavericks it happens instantaneously. This shows best if I try to open 4-5 windows at the same time, quickly pushing cmd+n. In Yosemite it takes a while for all the windows to open. Feels almost like it's struggling. In Mavericks, again, they open instantaneously.
    The same goes for new windows in Chrome, just not as slow.
    Anyone else experiencing this?
    I'm on a 13" mid 2014 rMBP with 8gb memory. Certainly this machine is capable of running this OS with zero problems?

    Thank you for your fast reply.
    Finder, Chrome and Safari. All are slow and noticeably slower than on Mavericks (on which it was instant) when opening new windows.
    Opening iTunes, Safari, App Store and a few other programs I tried is very fast. So it doesn't seem to be an over all slowness.
    No indexing being done. Cause that should show up in Spotlight right?

  • In Yosemite, dropping files in and out of folders on my desktop causes a freeze.  Must relaunch the finder window.

    After the first few days of operating my new computer, Yosemite began to develop strange glitches. I tried to drag a folder from a Finder window. It zoomed upward on Desktop and stayed where it stopped—and nothing worked. Everything froze. The cursor left a jittery trail of ghost images within a Finder window. We had to relaunch Finder. This became a pattern: no dragging-dropping to move files. Only within a Finder window was it possible.
    A day or two later, I began to notice—with increasing seriousness and frequency—open windows stuttering when I tried to move them around the desktop. They moved, but with halts and stutters.
    When we opened Activity Monitor and saw 6 BG of 8BG memory used, we figured this is serious.  After an EtreCheck we noticed we had to update a version of FlashPlayer, which we did.  But our problem is still here.  Help!
    One probably rare item used with this computer is a Maltron Keyboard.  This keyboard is made to be used with Macs and I found no issues relating to Yosemite on their website, but just thought I'd mention it.

    Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There  is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
    1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to take control of it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
    The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
    The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    ☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    ☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    ☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    ☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
    ☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
    Apple has taken far too long to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. Those lapses don't involve App Store products, however.
    For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, not machine behavior, and no technological fix alone is going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
    The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're better informed than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
    Software from an untrustworthy source
    ☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software. A genuine alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this support page. Follow the instructions on the support page in that case. Otherwise, assume that the alert is fake and someone is trying to scam you into installing malware. If you see such alerts on more than one website, ask for instructions.
    ☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
    ☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic, Soft32, and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
    ☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
    Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
    ☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
    ☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission. All "YouTube downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily malicious.
    Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
    ☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    ☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
    ☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
    ☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
    ☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
    ☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
    Unexpected events
    ☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
    ☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
    ☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
    ☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
    I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
    6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a padlock icon in the address bar when visiting a secure site.
    Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
    7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
    ☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
    ☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    ☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    ☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
    8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
    Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
    London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
    You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
    The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
    10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It can be as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

  • When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N), I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

    When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N) on my Macbook Pro, I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to? 

    It's not necessary to change the Command N keystroke..
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • Am I the only one around here who's got the the spinning wheel in Finder window when trying to upload or selecting file?

    Let's say when i try to upload something onto a website using safari, when then Finder window opened up, I have like 70% chance encounter the "spinning wheel" in the left coner, the search progress takes about 10 seconds to complete. This is very annoying. I have late 2013 15 inch, and i have done twice "Clean install" of Mavericks, still the same problem. How can i solve this... Really gonna cry...

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Finder window doest not start

    On my wifes mac mini, we can no longer get finder to load, the system boots fine, and we can run a few applications, iTunes and safari. When i try to open finder to install new apps like firefox and clamXav, the finder window never opens. I have tried going to single user mode and fixking disk, i have even booted to the 10.4 dvd and ran repair disk/permissions. Still can not get finder to open nor will any of the desktop folders we have created so that i can access that way.
    This happens even if i create a new account and try to access anything. As a note, i was able to install firefox, but it displays strange charecters in the url bar, and in the welcome screen.
    Mac Mini(PPC)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Do a backup.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/
    com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by restarting and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • Lion finder window not displaying file info

    I have a MacPro which I've updated to Lion. I have four hard drives installed. When I open a finder window from three of the drives, I get the expected (from Snow Leopard) behavior: in icon view, images display pixel dimensions,  movies or audio files display run time. This is assuming I have Show Item Info clicked in the View Options. But if I open a finder window on my start-up drive the file info is not displayed. If I open the View Info panel and click/unclick the Show Item Info ckeck box, I can see space expand or contract beneath the file, but no info is displayed. Is this a bug or a "feature"?

  • Desktop always opens as Finder Window - PPC

    Hi all,
    This is a strange one and kind of hard to explain.
    I'll just start out by saying it only happens on my G5 PPC running 10.5.x
    Some background: I always have "open safe files" in Safari turned off and all files are downloaded to the "Downloads" folder.
    Anyway, when I double-click to extract a zipped file, either from within the downloads folder or from the Safari download list, a new Finder window pops up containing the contents of the extracted file and the Desktop. Basically the entire Desktop opens as a Finder window.
    This behaviour doesn't happen on Intel machines - just the G5.
    What would be causing it?

    I'm sorry for retreading this topic again. I assure you I searched for this issue on the forums and googled for it extensively (but obviously not enough) and didn't find anything. I only found about it as I installed my first AirDisk and thought this particular behavior was neither elegant nor useful.
    I fear that Apple will not restore this the way of 10.5.7 since a lot of updates have come and go and this issue remains.
    Thank you very much William for giving me background knowledge on this!
