| Spring Loaded Folders What is the big obsession over spring loaded folders? I don't get it. Everyone wants them back and they can't live without them.  Twister  |

| They make it easy and fast to move to a certain folder or move a file etc. You can move through the hierarchy a lot faster than by clicking on every folder, and waiting (alright, you don't wait that long, but still) for the window to pop up.. I miss them, and the contextual menus, a lot. Twister, didn't you use them back in OS9?  Kris |

| I never used spring-loaded folders. Actually, I did, but rarely. What would be much cooler is spring-loaded column view. THAT would be really useful

| YES! Being able to grab and drag a folder across columns WOULD rock... you could grab a folder at the top of your hard drive hierarchy, then simply drag it over a folder in the adjacent column and have the whole column view shift over to expose the contents of that column... and so on and so forth. Would make moving files within hard drives or within folder hierarchies VERY easy. Great idea, ksuther.

| I remember Jobs saying something similar to spring-loaded folders would be implemented in the future that would conform more to OS X guidelines, and I figured that's what he was talking about, cause it makes sense. I think the way spring-loaded folders are now go against the guidelines because they open more than one folder at a time, which is bad I guess . I guess they are coming back anyways, due to popular demand

| Use SNAX... Give SNAX a try. It already has Spring Loaded Folders and Finder Labels. Not to mention all the other customizaton options available. SNAX
