That's the odd thing, though. I've used that method before, to confirm that my file is going where I want, but it still ends up in a subfolder. > On May 19, 2015, at 1:21 AM, Anne Robertson wrote: > > Hello Alex, > > I’m not having your problem, but I can tell you how to check quickly that the

Hello Alex, I’m not having your problem, but I can tell you how to check quickly that the correct folder is selected. After selecting your folder, stop interacting and navigate left past the side bar and the search field and check what is selected in the pop up menu. It should be the folder yo

Thanks, that could explain it. I use the popup menu when I can, but I often need to drill down further into a selected location's subfolders, or the folder I want isn't there at all. I wonder if one can customize that? Anyway, that's a different email thread. :) > On May 18, 2015, at 8:01 PM, Ti

Hi Alex, I use List view as well. As far as I can tell, here’s the way it goes: • The file is first directed to the location displayed in the “Where” pop-up in the main Save dialog. • If you interact with the List view table, then various things could occur. • Once you start navigating in the f

I get this behaviour too, even in column view sometimes. The Mac save dialogs confuse me quite a bit. It always feels a bit hit and miss. There's the pop up button and the side bar, and I never know for sure where things are being saved to. So you're not alone Alex. Sorry I can't help. Lisette

Almost always use column view and if I point to a folder then whatever I'm moving or copying goes in that folder. I don't have to open it. I've never had any other results. Jim > On May 18, 2015, at 12:09 PM, Alex Hall wrote: > > Hi all, > I've been using a Mac for some years now, and I con

Hi all, I've been using a Mac for some years now, and I consider myself to be quite knowledgeable about OS X and VoiceOver. One thing I've never been able to nail down, though, is this: why do files sometimes go where I tell them to in OS X save dialogs, and sometimes end up in a subfolder insid
