Have you discovered Quick Actions on the Mac?

Picture
There is a very handy feature in Finder that I make use of regularly, particularly when I am working with image files and PDFs.

The Quick Actions option in Finder provides options for quickly converting images (to different format or size), combining several images or PDFs into a single PDF, rotating images, removing images and more.

We take a look at Quick Actions in 3 short Handy Hints.

Searching for a file on your Mac - using Search and Advanced Search

Picture
This morning I was looking for a video file on my Mac, and I know there are several versions of the video that I have recorded over time. I wanted the latest version, and decided to use the Search function to get to it quickly.

When Searching in Finder, I popped in a word from the name of the file and then added some extra search criteria, to limit the search results to files that have that word in the filename, and to only find video files. I then used various techniques (sorting by date, viewing the file's metadata, finding the file's location) to fine the file that I needed.

I figured it worth recording how I did this, for those of you interested in learning about Searching in Finder.

A handy tip to help with organising those files on your Mac

Picture
Image by Ulrike Mai from Pixabay
Over the past few weeks, we have featured videos from our Files, Folders and Finder class as the Monday Video of the Day. 

And there is a tip from that series that can really make a difference to managing all those files and folders.

When it comes to getting your files organised, there is an icon that is well worth adding to the toolbar at the top of your Finder - one that makes it so much easier to create your folders.

It can be very unnerving when something like this happens - where, suddenly, files and folders that you had on your Desktop are no longer there.

Here's how to quickly solve this problem (assuming that you didn't just delete them!).

Understanding the Recent folder in Mac's Finder

Picture
Image by Free-Photos from Pixabay
I often get asked about the Recent Folder that appears in Finder on the Mac. It can be confusing that files seem to appear twice in Finder - in both the location in which you stored them, and also in Recent.

Here's an explanation of Recent and why it is a great place to look when you are trying to find a lost file, clean up duplicate files or do a cleanup of storage.

The Downloads stack has gone missing from the Dock on my Mac

Picture
The Downloads stack normally appears at the right-hand end of the Dock, allow you to view the files that have most recently been downloaded to your Mac.

It is really handy to have this stack in this place, as it allows for quick access to the most recently downloaded file.

But what do you do when this Stack disappears?  How do you get it back?

A handy Mac navigation tip: Working out where the file you are working on 'lives'

Picture
So often when I am working on files on my Mac - Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Preview and other types of files - I take advantage of the 'Open Recent' option in the File menu to re-open a file on which I was previously working.

At other times, I use the 'search' capability of Finder or 'Smart Folders' to look for and group files.  (We have more about these in our Mac video tutorial series - see below for details.)

In doing this, I then often need to check where the opened document 'lives', and perhaps have a look at other files that 'live' in the same folder.

Fortunately, your Mac makes this very easy.

Mac Tip: How to have quick access to frequently used files and folders

Picture
There are a few key files that that I use on almost a daily basis on my Mac. I also often have a user guide that is a work-in-progress, that I want to keep coming back to until it is done. These are files that I need to be able to access quickly, but that are stored several levels down in my folder structure. 

I could certainly go to Finder and click through the applicable folder and sub-folders to get to my file. But I'd rather not do that.

Instead, I put these regularly used files into the Favourites area of my Finder Sidebar.

Get organised - how to sort out all those files and folders on the Mac

A messy desktop - just like on may people's Macs
How well are your files organised on your Mac?  Not very?  Not at all?

We know that so many Mac users struggle to understand filing on a computer, not knowing where and how to find or store their files. Of course, this can be such a great cause of stress and frustration.
