Q: Finder changes view options when adding attachments to email/importing files into programs
This issue is very minor but it has annoyed me for years and I can't find any solutions online.
In Finder under "Show view options" I have selected "Arrange by: Name" and "Sort by: Kind". I like it like this. I see my folders first, then any files that aren't in folders below, arranged by name and type.
But when I go to attach a file to an email or import a file into a program (such as Mendeley), Finder displays my files in a totally different order, with folders and files all scrambled together so it takes me a few extra seconds to find my file.
Is there any way to have Finder always display files as "Arrange by: Name" and "Sort by: Kind", even when attaching to an email or importing into a program?
Thank you!
