This was my favorite way of accessing files back in the MacOS 8-9 days where you could put folders in the Apple menu like this and access the contents as drop down menus.
I've done this before, but I hated that folders aren't represented as folders and it was confusing to look at all jumbled up. This gave me some good tips for numbering the names and using a folder icon emoji in the name. Still wish it would just represent them as folders by itself, but this is a decent workaround. Nice video.
Thank you for this incredible video. "Never Stop Learning,". Gary, did you made a video about Audio to Text, not from Voice Memos, using mp3 or wave format. Podcast recordings using a DAW for example. How can I do that on my MacBook Pro with Sequoia, and not using Microsoft Office 365
You can use Notes. You may need to convert the audio to mp3 or m4a first. But a better way is probably a third-party app or service. Look at MacWhisper (called Whisper Transcription in the Mac App Store).
I want a dock that I can customize more. I don't want to see icons for apps I use often, like Viber and Telegram. I only want to see icons for the apps I actively use. -SIGH- another great vid, Gary, thanks!
11:05 in recent OS updates something happened that personalized icons work unreliably in external drives. My personal icons disappeared and normal folder icons were restored… currently adding a custom icon works but it creates an “icon?” file in the folder… That can be hid but it should be hidden automatically. Have you noticed that behavior?
Good Info! Thank you AGAIN! Q. My new MacBook’s have no longer have KB keys to increase or decrease KB Backlight intensity. I know they’ve moved, and how to workaround this change. I know how to make a short cut, but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to create a shortcut so [special Key] + pressing F5 or F6 increase or decrease the KB backlight brightness. 🔅 🔆 What am I missing?
I don't think there is any way to adjust the keyboard brightness with the keyboard. But if you have a Shortcut, then I suppose you could set it as a "Service" and assign a keyboard shortcut to that in the Shortcuts app.
If you want to access the Notes app, just do it like I show with other apps here. But if you mean go directly to a specific note, then it isn't so easy. There's no simple way to do it.
I have several suites of photo editing apps that I use this method for quick access to individual apps within the suites, with a dock folder for each suite that I changed the icons to the logo for the ‘parent' programs. Much quicker to access the individual apps and keeps the main dock less congested. Btw I just used a keyboard shortcut I use all the time to insert a misssing word in my text above - pressing the alt key and the left or right arrow keys allows you to step through your typed text one word at a time.
This is one of your most “hidden features rich” MacOS videos ever. - impressive!
Do the Cupertino folks know how much more useful you help make their tools/toys? Seriously, Gary! Thanks!!
Nice! Been a subscriber for years... this one goes on the all-time Top 10 list. Thanks!
Always enjoy your videos, Gary

I learned so many new things very useful, the icon customisation last tip was great - thanks
Always learning something new from you. Great tips! 👍🏻
Loved this video. Very informative. Thank you.
Damn! This one blew my mind ! 🤯 Definitely will be putting this one into effect ASAP. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial. Very useful information to increase productivity. Many thanks!
I had no idea this was possible. So useful, thanks Gary.
Thank you Gary. Your videos are always useful.
Don’t have a Mac rn but your videos are so nice and gave me a look into MacOS. (I also didn’t know that you could add „shortcuts“ to other files) 😊
Fantastic tips!!! Thanks !!
Excellent! Never knew this👍
Brilliant! Thanks!
Amazing tips. Thanks.
Cool !! Thank you very much !!

awesome thank you

Most useful!
Thank you Gary for the tips. Can those items be listed as reverse order (sorted in a reverse order) by name?
No, doesn't appear to be a way to do that.
Brilliant

You can remove and add apps from the left side of the Dock as much as you like.

"Hacker" 😉👏
It won't drag and drop to the dock.
Make sure you do it to the right side.
I use Notes more often than anything else, and you didn’t mention how to do this with Notes
If you want to access the Notes app, just do it like I show with other apps here. But if you mean go directly to a specific note, then it isn't so easy. There's no simple way to do it.
@@macmost Unfortunately, it's the latter case 😞 but thanks for the quick response!
@@KurtPapke Create a Shortcut in the Shortcut app which open this specifically note, and add the shortcut in the folder in the Dock?
