Re: How do you remove default Collections?

Spot on. The View menu for things you want to see, the Edit menu for  
things you want to add/delete.

"New/Open/Close/Delete" divisions, are they not?

You know, a simple DELETE/REMOVE in the cog wheel would had been more
obvious. After all, you'll see "New Collection" there, why not
"Remove Collection"?


The checkmarks on or off for the Smart Collections mean 'Show' or
'Hide', as I see it, not 'New' or 'Delete'. To me the checkmarks are
perfectly appropriate, they denote the options of showing or hiding
the Smart Collections.

I agree with Jan here: nothing is being "added" or "deleted".  
Instead, the visibility of a feature is being turned on or off. The  
View menu and, perhaps to a lesser degree, the cog wheel menu, are  
natural locations for this sort of control. It's a paradigm that's  
well-established among other applications by Apple and third parties.

Rich:

Exactly -- so why did I not realize it? Why should I take my time to 
post to this list if what I wanted had been obvious?

I could expound more on this subject, but that's the way it is.

PS: Patronizing ? No, you weren't talking down to me, it's just that 
you didn't realize what I was saying.

Select which ones you want to show using the "cog wheel" at the  
bottom of the list.

I used to design Mac software, but that just wasn't obvious enough  
for me. I kept thinking that sort of things should be in the  
preferences.

Hi:

How do you remove default Collections, such as "Serial Numbers" and 
"Passwords" -- I never use them and they just take up Collection 
space.
