Q: Mac OS 10.9 Maverick -- no "open in new window" option

TheLostFinderNewWindow.xcodeproj loaded into Xcode 3.2.6 on Snow Leopard w/o any issues. I've not tried loading in w/Xcode 5.1, since I'm not booted into that OS.

Installed andrunning in Mavericks. Works superbly, restoring usefulness where it went missing. on Finder window tabs.

Mac OS 10.9 Maverick -- no "open in new window" option

Maverick REALLY s u c k s.  I am so disappointed I upgraded.

Mac OS hasn‘t worked since Snow Leopard.

Not being about to “Open in New Windows” destroys the way I work.

I am so sick of my computer crashing.  I’ve been a Mac user for over 20 years.  I don’t want to instead get a PC but I may have to in order to work in MS Word.

Hi,

----------------------------------------------------------------------

---> To Always open folders in a new window in Maverick,

simply go to System Preferences > KeyBoard > Tab KeyBoard

and create a New ShortCut for the Finder Application,

the Menu Title will be «Open in New Window»,

and assign a shortcut such as ctrl O!!!

---> cmd down should work (I didn't test it)

but I don't like to conflict with built in shortcut on my Mac

and that is why I always use ctrl.

---> It will work only if the Side Bar is Open

and even if your are in Column View

(which is the easiest View Type to navigate)

and restore your opened window state such as

Side Bar Hidden + View as Icon or View as List!!!

---> In the case that the Side Bar is hidden the cmd down

do it well in Icon View and in List View but not in column view!!!

---> I hope that THIS will help!!!

Simplest way in OS 10.9  -  push the command key while double-clicking on the folder that you want to open in a separate window.

TheLostFinderNewWindow bundle works great. It restores the original behavior of opening a new finder window. Works in Maverick and Yosemite beta 2.Must install easy simbl. Both are free.  You may have to run Killall Finder in terminal once to get it to work.

Helgason: Thank you so much for this solution. I have been using it since March. But I just upgraded to Yosemite. And as you have noted on your website, it breaks the functionality of typing Command-Shift-A to go to Applications and such. Now that Yosemite has officially been released, are you going to create an update?

Also, an update that returns the green button to being maximize instead of full screen (without having to hold down Option) would also be welcome!

Open in new window still works. Make sure  Easy SIMBL is installed and run Killall Finder in terminal. Easy install will also restore colorful icons in the sidebar.

For this I would suggest yo go to the author of Right Zoom-

Can't believe that works!  Thanks!  I was getting frantic.  If I clicked on an alias, and then Command-R to "Reveal in Finder" because I want to edit the Icons on both things at once, it would always Reveal the original in the same folder.  Shutting down the sidebar and toolbar worked for me.  (Since I find them intrusive most of the time, this was no big sacrifice for me.)  Not a perfect solution, but certainly good enough for me.
