Hi Guys
Excellent podcast again, the quick-look plug-in I use to view Zip files is a freebie as well, you can download it from http://d.hatena.ne.jp/t_trace/20071125/p2.
Also as far as I know of there is no way of changing the places names without changing the folder itself (tried an alias as well but that didn’t work)
Keep up the good work and all the best.
Great minds think alike John using an alias is exactly what I tried and no it didn’t work – strange as it works until you add it to the sidebar.
Thanks for the info about the zip file viewer and the nice comments … much appreciated 🙂
A brilliantly informative and fun episode guys, especially the Supercharging The Finder section. There was so much to learn that it should have been a screencast!
I used the rewind-30second feature so much whilst listening that i’ve worn a hole in my iPhone screen! 😉
I’m now off to visit the websites of all the useful apps you mentioned…
Looking forward to more file management tips next week.
Cheers 🙂
Jane
