Opening new folders in new windows.

After installing mavericks on an imac the folders (in icon view) all open in the same window instead of new windows although the preferences general "open folders in tabs" is unchecked; how do you get all folders to open in new windows?
Thanks in advance,
Burt

OPTION+double-click will always open a subfolder in the same window, regardless if you have toolbar showing or not. I prefer the choice, so also have open folders in new window option selected. I'm not as minimalistic as you are.

  • My computer won't create new folders-only new briefcases

    HP heard-1360t desk top running Win 7 64 bit
    My computer won't create new folders. It creates new briefcases instead.  It does not matter whether I use the New Folder link at the top or Right Click --> New-->New Briefcase .  The New Folder option is not there.
    Does anyone know how to get it back?

  • I can no longer create new folders in Windows 7; could this problem be a result of recently reinstalling Firefox?

    I'm using Windows 7 Home premium on an HP Pavilion laptop. Maybe two weeks ago, I stopped being able to create new folders in the Windows Explorer box; I click the "New Folder" button, and nothing happens: no error message, nothing. Around two weeks ago, I also reinstalled Firefox to get rid of some adware virus (success: the adware is gone!). I do not recall the exact timing on when I did the reinstall and when I stopped being able to create new folders, but I'm wondering if the folder problem could be related to the re-install. And if so, what can I do about it?
    Thanks so much for any help you can offer.

    Hello FJasmine, no, it is not related the firefox update with that.

  • Can I open dock folders in tabs instead of new windows?

    Hey, guys!
    I'm using OX 10.9 and in Finder Preferences I have "open folders in new tab instead of new window" box checked. However, when I click on "open in FInder" in a folder I have in my Dock, such as Dwonloads or Documents, it pops up in a new Finder window. In other words, I'm looking for the TotalFinder behaviour without using the app. Any help?
    Thank you all!

    Hi, John, welcome to Apple's user-to-user discussion forums.
    Does anyone here know of a way to open new windows without using command click in a tab?
    If you want links on a web page to open in a new tab, you need to command-click on them. This will work both for links set up to open in the same window and those set up to open in a new window. There is no setting in Preferences to make links on a web page automatically open in a new tab.
    There is a preference setting to open links from other programs, such as Mail, in a new tab. In Safari's Preferences, click on the General icon. Towards the bottom where it says "Open links from applications", check "in a new tab in the current window".

  • I want to open folders in new windows on 10.9.4.

    This was always my default setting, but it seems to have disappeared.  Apple is ******** in changing essential workflows that people have been using for years.  There should be 2 options, open in new window, or not.  Give us back the option Apple.

    This is a SIMBL plugin that will bring back the old behaviour of always opening folders in new windows, a feature that existed since the first Mac OS in 1984 all the way up to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion before Apple stupidly removed it in OS X 10.9 Mavericks. This works a treat.

  • Cannot open folders in NEW WINDOW

    Is anyone else having trouble with the Finder not opening folders in a new window?  I have gone to Finder preferences, and unchecked the box for "Open Folders in a new tab..." But I still cannot open my folders in a new window.  I have thousands of folders, and some are set to open in icon view, some in list view, etc. depending on the contents.  But now all that has disappeared.  Any suggestions???

    As others have said.....first, go to Finder > Preferences and make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of new windows".
    Any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down the Command Key while double-clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then a folder will open in a tab (which will probably resize the window and cause much aggravation and cursing).
    If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple double-click. (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5).  Go to any folder on the Desktop, open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar. After that, all folders within that folder will open in a new window. I tried this with the Macintosh HD Folder (which I put on my Desktop) and all folders within it open in new windows with only a double-click.
    Of course, you will lose the sidebar and the toolbar, so it's not a perfect solution, but at least you'll be done with tabs.

  • Opening folders in new window while in Search mode?

    In the Leopard file-search Finder you could double click the folder in the folder's location chain at the bottom of the Finder window and have that folder open in a new window. Now in Snow Leopard it opens it in the same window as it does for all the listed items above. Any way around this?

    Hi,
    the only way I know of the is to go to file and click for a new Window.
    Sounds like tabs maybe your thing, from Safari's Helpviewer. for more info look there.......
    To turn on tabbed browsing, choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click Tab. Select Enable Tabbed Browsing.
    To open a link or bookmark in the bookmarks bar in a new tab, hold down the Command key and click the item, or hold down the Control key, click the item, and choose Open in New Tab from the shortcut menu.
    To open a bookmark collection in the bookmarks bar or a folder of bookmarks in the Bookmarks Library in tabs, hold down the Control key, click the collection or folder, and choose Open in Tabs from the shortcut menu.
    If you select the Auto-Click checkbox for a folder in the bookmarks bar, then you can open all the bookmarks in the folder in tabs by clicking the folder name in the bookmarks bar.
    To open a webpage in a new tab, choose New Tab from the File menu and type the address for the page.
    To close a tab, click the close button in the tab.
    To quickly switch between tabs, press Command-Shift-[ and Command-Shift-].
    To show a webpage that is in a tab and close all other tabs, hold down the Option key and click the close box in the tab you want to remain open.
    When you click a link in a page you are viewing in a tab, the page opens in the current tab. Click the Back and Forward buttons in the address bar to scan pages you have opened in a tab.
    If you choose a page from the History or Bookmarks menu, the page opens in the current tab.
    Hope it helps you do what i think you are looking for.
    Cheers

  • How can I put OSX 10.7 on a new Macbook Air. Maverick no longer allows "open file in a new window" and I really miss it. At the Apple Store they told me it can't be added to the new OSX 10.10 so I  want to change the OSX on the new Macbook Air and it

    I have been using a 2012 Mac pro to do HD video editing. I bought a new portable Macbook Air only to find that Maverick no longer has "open files in a new window" which I use all the time in the very large folders of video clips and royalty-free music. I asked at the Apple Store how I could get this back on the Macbook Air and they said it couldn't be done so I thought I would re-format the HD and install 10.7 on it and was notified by the Macbook Air I can't put 10.7 on that computer. Apple use to give this as an option but now they have gone more to the attitude of "Do it our way or go to ****!" In anger I went out and bought a Dell Laptop and Pinnacle Studio 17 which I have been learning to use. I have been an Apple/Mac user since 1979 and would still rather do my video editing on a Mac. Is there any way that I can force the Macbook Air to let me load in OSX 10.7 where there is still the option to  "open files in a new window" or is there a way to add this to Maverick? The experts at the Madison, WI Couldn't give me any help on this.

    Choose Preferences from the Finder menu, click on the General tab, and uncheck the box to open folders in a new tab.

  • Setting to open folders in new folders

    Upgraded from  SL to Mavricks. In SL, there was a preference to open folders in new folders instead of replacing the current open window. Did that go away as an option in Mavericks?

    open folders in new folders
    To open folders in new Window? Try Finder/Preferences/General - open folders in... Then control click the folder and you can open it in a new Window.

  • Cannot create new folders on desktop. Cannot drag new items onto desktop. Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal. Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas. Thank you.

    I can no longer create new folders on my desktop. The option to do that is now light gray on the drop down menu and can't be selected.
    I cannot drag new items onto desktop any longer either.
    The Desktop in Finder opens with Terminal.
    Folders and items on Desktop open and work normally.
    Not sure if this has anything to do with upgrading to Mavericks but I need help if anyone has ideas.
    Thank you.

    Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
    Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or rebooting. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
    Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder  or something else, such as Anything.
    If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
    If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the  Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”). Quit Terminal.
    Relaunch the Finder.
    If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
    Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

  • Lately, Firefox often won't open the links when I click on them but will only open them when I ask it to open them in a new window or tab.

    Often when I open Firefox, in the middle of a session it'll stop responding to my clicking on a link to open it in the same window. It'll show the url in the bottom when I hover over it but will do nothing when I click on it. It will only work when I either right click on it (then select open in new window/tab) or command click on it (opens in new tab automatically). I've noticed that it happens a lot when clicking on a link for a Google search result, but I know that it's not exclusively there, and it probably just sticks out more in my mind.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I would like to open links in a new window but cannot find where to put the setting. Have unchecked the "Open new windows in new tab instead" box in the Options dialog box.

    When I click a link on a webpage or other software, I would like for it to open in a completely new window.

    You can hold the Shift key and click the left mouse button a link to open that link in a new window.
    The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs is only for links that specify a target window and you can divert such a link to a new tab instead.

  • How can I set up firefox (latest version) to default to opening things in a new window and not a new tab.

    there is an option in firefox (latest version)(for windows7) to 'open new windows in a tab instead' what I want to do is to 'open new tabs in a window instead' Is this possible and how do I go about it

    Hi,
    There is an option called "browser.link.open_newwindow" which when set to 2 should open links, that would normally open in a new window, in a new window.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.link.open_newwindow.
    I can't think of an add-on that will do this for you.
    You can always right click on the link and choose "Open Link in new Window" :-).
