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

I did complain about tags/highlights on the feedback page. I can only hope Apple does something useful.

Did what?

Pete

Sorry didn't see the edit to your post. We'll done. Keep your fingers crossed now.

Pete

Completely agree with you.

I send following comment to Apple feedback

"New tags in Mavericks are useful to filters files and folders BUT are useless as visual aids. Previous coloured folders were much more efficient. Thanks for putting this fonctionnality back."

That should convince them. But next time use spell check.

Thanks

Pete

Where can I find spell checking on Apple discussions board ?

Thank you for your help.

Eddy ~ When typing your post in these Apple Support Communities, it's this icon in the toolbar:

...It underlines misspellings in red like this:

No toolbar visible on my iPad 2 iOS 7. Will try on my iMac (Mavericks) or my MacBook Pro (Lion) later.

Thanks anyway.

Well done ;-)

Thank you.

Cheers

Man, I just want to say thanks to user "Alancito".

I've been watching this thread for a while now, and throughout these pages (as well as many, many other forum topics) he regularly chimes in with accurate information, a complete lack of ego, and a genuine interest in helping people.

I only wish all "power users" had as much interest in helping people as they do in racking up as many posts as possible.

Again, THANKS Alancito. And please keep it up!

suckaboo ~ Thanks for your compliments. Behind my comportment in these Communities is a simple, but not easy, “practice” — but explaining it here would likely divert this thread.

So that is what that is!!!!

Been staring at it for years and cursing the lack of Dictionary support here.

Alancito and all other users or wanabe users of colored folders, can you let me know what your system is of how you use the colored folders, do you have a color key so you don't forget what your preferred colors for varios folder categories are? and how many categories do you have? and if you have a key where do you keep it so it is readily available when you are selecting the folder or tag that you are going to use?

I am somewhat helter skelter and often try to get organized but find myself loosing the discipline needed and am trying to get my act together with a system that isn't too complicated but yet has enough elegance to be useful and time saving.

Any help out there for a Mono-Chromatic Cro-Magnon.

Thanx for any help

I used colored labels, not colored folders, but the logic was:

Red - personal

Blue - temporary

Green - work

Anything not explicitly colored was assume to be work. And I only colored folder labels.

As a reminder - the reasons I dislike tags are, in order, a) they reduce the amount of space available to display folder names, and b) they aren't as visible as background colors on labels.
