Nobody asked, I know, but I'm so happy I must share! I just discovered that option-double-clicking an attachment in Emailer reveals the file in the Finder. Or maybe I forgot: it seems so natural now that I can't believe I didn't already know it.
Yet another feature I'll expect from other email clients. We should write them down, my guess is that the resulting text file will be bigger than the application ;-) --------- I didn't check yet if it works with Mac OS X's Finder when run under Classic, since my X just stopped mounting my OS 9 partition, leaving me without Classic -- any idea how to bring it back anyone? The OS 9 partition works fine when I boot from it or other OS 9 disks, but OS X refuses to mount it (the corresponding folder appears in the "Volumes" folder, and it seems it was mistakenly attributed to "root", but even when logged in as root it won't mount, I'd hate to back up/initialise/restore it if I can avoid it). --------- I feel stupid for the many times I used brute-force to reveal attachments (which by the way works great in other cases where you can access and move something but can't reveal it in the Finder). For those interested, here they are. Suppose you're in a situation where you see files or folders in an application which lets you drag them, but wouldn't reveal them in the Finder, and you want to. The long route first: - drag an item from the application where you see it to the desktop, - make an alias of it (Command-M under OS 9), - select the original and "tidy" it to send it back where it was before (Command-Y, this only works from the trash and the desktop, not if you dragged it to another location), - select the alias and reveal its original (Command-R). In most cases (like from Emailer) you might skip the first 2 phases by option-command-dragging the item, which is the shortcut to create an alias in the Finder, so all this confines to: - option-command-drag an item to anywhere in the Finder, - select the resulting alias and reveal its original (Command-R). ---- VRic ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
