Thanks for the video. I've been migrating to the Apple ecosystem over the last six months after using Windows since the early 1990's. These sorts of videos are great for learning the best practices of using MacOS. Thanks!

Thanks Craig this is awesome! For a brand new Mac user I appreciate it! Yes KEEP UP THIS CONTENT!! Thanks again. Do you think you can do a video about how to use an external ssd to save internal mac storage? That would be awesome

[@craigneidel]

Thanks for watching. I have at least 20 videos on my channel about building external stroage if you go back and check out past videos. Thanks.

I’ll have to give another crack at smart folders. I usually put each file somewhere but I could see this being good for finding things in a folder with sub folders perhaps?

[@craigneidel]

Yes, it's a nice way to organize things for sure.

[@rayanmotovlog]

Your killing it
I have 1 question
I have 2tb HHD and it contains more than 50k photos and videos I guess
So it's almost full and now I am rearranging everything and I found out it takes so much time to do it
So how can I rearrange it
Like is there any face recognition option where I can select only my photos where I am and move in a new folder
I guess you understand what I mean
Thank you

[@craigneidel]

Thanks for the post. I don't know of anything out there like that but I'm sure something using Ai might be able to do that in the future. Although I just have not really been looking for that either so not sure. If you didn't label it from the start it can be difficult to sort out for sure.

[@LordAlucar01]

i can't find a use for this feature, yes it is usable but for me i know what i keep in my mac so whats the point if all is just 2 clicks away instead of 1

[@craigneidel]

Yes, if you keep stuff tidy you may not need it.

[@chasvox2]

Thanks for this insightful presentation.....If I understand this correctly, the précis is: a smart folder is an aggregate of file aliases on steroids. Correct?

[@craigneidel]

I guess that is correct - funny.

[@digitalmarketinghumans]

Is that a new mic?

[@craigneidel]

No I just was setting up a backup since other mic battery was low. I have tested quite a few in the past.
