Q: I hate the new tags in Mavericks, need coloured folders!!

You would present a better face if you avoided making things up. It's rather childish.

Really?  I've been coming here for years, thinking that the "discussions[dot]apple[dot]com" that I've bookmarked was where we users could have a discussion on a topic.  Where does it say that "discussion" is not approriate?  Thanks.

Csound why are you here? If it's not to discuss, can you go away so your emails don't clog my inbox. Thanks mate. You certainly lack experience.

Re labels ... Using Xtrafinder now very successfully. Great help. Tagging and labelling side by side. No bugs

Total finder has just released another update 1.6.1 which supposedly won't crash Mavericks. Haven't tried because Xtrafinder is working fine.

Why don't you just turn the notifications off.

WHy are you here Csound? If you truly had expertise in audio, you'd understand why we need labelling in the Music recording and feature film industry. I'm here from the audio crew working on a feature with 20 engineers, editors and sound mixers. The musicians and music editors have the same issues. The recording studio I normally use has similar issues. If you lack experience in these matters either read and learn or get out. I have an interest here, you are clearly here to disrupt.

You don't get to choose who posts, where they post, or what they post. You may have an elevated opinion of yourself but it is not general.

If the notifications bother you turn them off, for one such as you this will be a simple task.

We DO want to be notified of RELEVANT discussion posts. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a filter that allows us to block annoying posters.

There are none. Just unsubscribe and check back here from time to time. Blocks out all the Novellas getting posted here.

Cheers

Who is 'we'

And is it you who decides what is RELEVANT?

CSound1, we are beginning to have a problem here, Houston:

- I point out that this is an apple discussion page and that you have no justification for saying it is a tech support site (where I made a crack about "not your private page").

- You respond "You would present a better face if you avoided making things up. It's rather childish."

Sit back, take a deep breath, and stop being unpleasant.

I will when you stick to the facts.

Deal?

OK, explain what you're saying about "facts". To any casual reader, the opposite seems to be the case.

First: Your contention that this is "a tech support site" hence your telling people to stop discussing things.

Second: Your contention that pointing out that this is "discussions.apple.com" is "making things up".

So: explain to me why you are not the one making things up.

Or do you just post a brief "you're making it up" in the hope that casual readers will believe you at face value and not trouble themselves with reading the history?

Finally: Do you have to be so unpleasant? You don't seem to be making many friends here.

Nope, you made up words and then attributed them to me, a lie in other words.

So CSound informs us that

 

Apple Support Communities > Mac OS & System Software > OS X Mavericks >   Discussions

 

is not a discussion site but his / her private tech support site.

And that is all I need to know about you.

The 2 big negatives of the new dot Tags:

1. In column view, the tiny dot is near useless it's location is so unrelated visually.

2. Sorting by tag is only relevant if you're tagging things in relation to everything on the computer.

I'm not color coding all recipes and photos I've gotten from Aunt Bertha in orange so if I click on the orange tag I can see everything on the computer she's ever sent me. Work is a lot more complex and these new tags aren't easily visible (the main purpose of a tag) and sorting by color is a nightmare of gathering too much that doesn't belong with what you want.

With #2 I mean color coding per individual folder doesn't work. Example: anything red is in progress, grey is all supporting informational documents (instructions, text files etc) relevant to the main document, green is any art, photos, etc. placed in the document, blue is an approved project and purple means it has been copied to archive. I use the yellow and oranges for stages of the edited text going into the document. Each job has it's own folder. The progress levels don't jump out in color as before, and sorting by color is a nightmare. I click on the sidebar tag's color it gives me ALL grey items for all 50 jobs I might have in progress. If you organize by job FOLDER, and not by entire computer topic, the new tag system is frustrating.

If the dot was at least BEFORE the document name in column view (like it is in icon view) that would be someone more tolerable. But way over on the right side is too disconnected especially if the column needs to be stretched out the dots are no longer even visually related to the document name.

If your Mac allows you to,and you dislike the dots so much,revert to Mountain Lion. It's what I HAD to do. The dots were near impossible to see,to my eyes,anyway.
