Yeah, that works. I understand Isaac to be saying that if he double-clicks an entry in the "Show All" list, the window scrolls to the top and loses his place in the list. That's not what happens here. If I double-click on an entry in the "Show All" Finder list or on the filename in the "ribbon" at the bottom, the Finder list scrolls the entry to the top of the window. The entry is still selected and the "ribbon" is unchanged, only the selected line is now the first entry in the window. The selected entry is still visible and the place in the list is not lost. -- John Varela Trade NEWlamps for OLDlamps for email

No need for quotes; that's my real name. I just returned to Isaac's URL and there's no image there to click on. That may be because I'm running an obsolete news reader under an obsolete OS with an obsolete version of Firefox, version 1.5. -- John Varela Trade NEWlamps for OLDlamps for email

No, that's what _I_ was saying--and someone else. But Isaac's image reveals that he is not looking at the same window I am looking at. Also, I was unclear on one detail: the item I double-click remains selected, so I haven't completely lost my place in the list. But I still have to scroll down to it, which is proctalgia when the list is very long. -- Wes Groleau Genealogical Lookups: http://groleau.freeshell.org/ref/lookups.shtml |
