I have created customized folders that I use all of the time but I was wondering if there is some way to attach my custom generic folder to the "new folder' comand such that when I right-click and select 'new folder' it will be my design that is created. Thanks.
Create a new folder, set it up to meet your design needs, CMD+J, click on Use as Defaults button. Now, every new one should match.
As an alternate, you can place a copy of your specialized folder somewhere convenient, then use Option-drag to create an instant duplicate of it. Then all you need do is rename it.
Baltwo,
Thanks for the response. I apologise for my delayed response but 'discussions' were down when I first attempted to respond and then, well, ...
But, the "use as defaults' button does not mean use this folder design as the default folder. When I right-click and select 'new folder' it still comes up with the default system 'untitled' folder. I suspect I need to somehow replace this folder with my design in the system library.
Don,
thanks for the response - I am already essentially doing that albeit by another mechanism - I wanted to know if there was some way I could have my folder automatically replace the 'untitled' folder when I right-click to create a 'new folder'.
Every new folder created on a Mac comes up with Untitled as its name. That's not going to change. However, the view options you chose should be as you set when selecting Use as Defaults.
