Re: Mavericks - Is it now time to upgrade?
David, I not upgraded my mac yet to the 10.9.1 update, but it appears the finder busy bug has been fixed. But all around there seems to be much disappointment. Apple promised to fix loads of VoiceOver issues a while back, and they're not present in 10.9.1. Ar dear.

The question is that after a number of fixes is it now time to take the plunge? The aspect of the upgrade which most worries me is the complaint about Finder instability,- busy characteristics. I am a fan of column view which seems particularly vulnerable to this.

Re: Mavericks - Is it now time to upgrade?
David, like you, I used to use column browser mode almost exclusively unless I needed to see the date or size of a file. Then I found that list view is just as flexible as column view. you can use the arrow keys by themselves to open and close folders. you don't need to use the command O or command down arrow keystrokes to open a folder unless you want to make it the current folder for pasting etc. So, its really just as flexible as column view, with the added benefit of having access to the file meta data that isn't there in column view. VO left and right arrows will move across the meta data, while left and right arrows alone will open and close a subfolder. Check it out, you might grow to like it.

Mavericks - Is it now time to upgrade?
When Mavericks was first released it was suggested on this list that voiceover Users should wait to upgrade. The question is that after a number of fixes is it now time to take the plunge? The aspect of the upgrade which most worries me is the complaint about Finder instability,- busy characteristics. I am a fan of column view which seems particularly vulnerable to this.
