    Great video thanks. I use multiple screens with my MacBook, mostly for photography and have been a windows user until I went all Apple. I don't understand how to get the most use out of dual screens and multiple desktops. Sometimes my dock is on my secondary screen and can't get it back on my primary screen, and when I transfer an open app from one screen to the other, it only comes over in stage manager, and will not open on that monitor. It would be useful to do a video on working with multiple monitors. Thanks

    Moooin, nice video mate! I consider myself somewhat a power user of macOS but I learned something new today! An idea for your next video (if you can find the solution for this one) About a year ago I saw a video with a Finder bit that I wasn't able to reproduce (or find the video again) since then: Sometimes you'd have a Finder window open at a certain location (say your job application picture). But the website you're trying to upload the picture to doesn't support drag and drop but rather opens a finder overlay in Safari. So you'd have to navigate in this new finder window all the way to the picture. In the video, the dude could hold down a combination of keys and then click into the Finder window that was already at the desired location. The Finder window in safari would automatically switch to that location. At least for my workflow, something like this would be extremely helpful. Maybe you'll find a way to figure this out :)

    could you share tips about how to start the day by one click to arrange the main 2 apps onto a monitor (usually is external one) without manually find them in other desktop space and put them together? Usually the config messes up after we disconnect the mac from the docking station. Repeating this daily few times is very annoying. thanks!

    Great tips. Another tip for folder is instead of replacing with an icon of a pen (your example), copy and paste the blank folder from the ‘info’ window to a program like PowerPoint and then place a transparent icon or text on the folder. Select all, copy, then paste that into the ‘info’ window and the folder will now have an icon on it or the text. This way you know it is a folder but the text or icon identify its purpose. Hope that makes sense. I also use this to label folders so it is obvious the purpose of a folder at a glance.

    Instead of right clicking to create the app alias, just drag the app to the new folder and a shortcut/alias will automatically be created in that folder.

    • @robertdavis7262
      @robertdavis7262 Месяц назад

      I think that is only true if the folders are on different computers. However, command-option drag between folders will add an alias to the new folder without moving the original file (or creating a new file in the old folder).
