I’ve just started working with smart folders after listening to David Griffith’s podcast. I’ve been able to create a saved search as a smart folder but I have a question. How can you inspect the criteria used in the smart folder? That is, How can you go back and look at the rules you used to cr

If you want to get rid of it then you could try going to system preferences then users and groups and then login itemsto see if it is checked there to be loaded at login. If it is then uncheck this item and restart your Mac. Now try deleting it. David Griffith > On 23 Dec 2014, at 15:59,

1. Locate your Smart Folder. 2. Bring up the information properties of the folder with command I. 3. Navigate down until you hear the query which underlies the criteria for the folder. So in the folder I did for the Podcast the Mac describes it as ((kMDItemDisplayName = "blindness*")) Query:
