Re: expanding andfolders in list view

Hi Dave, So what's the difference between opening and expanding. I mean, if you open something, why does one need to expand it as well? I find some folders in Finder need expanding, and others don't. Folders deeper in the file structure seem to need expanding, whereas ones closer to the surface

Re: expanding andfolders in list view

I think also that when "opening" a folder in list view, it becomes the "current" folder and so pasting files will cause them to paste into that folder. I thought, but may be wrong, that if you didn't open a folder, but just expanded it, then pasting wouldn't put files into the expanded folder, b

Upgrade to iOS 7.1 .1 has not fixed the problem. Messages are coming in, notifications are sounding, and Siri can send a message out. Voiceover, however, is just not reading the message screen in the way that hit user too. I can think of no trick to make the cursor go to, say, the text field, o
