This is a minor annoyance, but why is it that software developers feel the need to turn off the OS X Finder Toolbar when they package their disk images.
I mean, the new version of Firefox pictorially describes where you should drag the application. The thing is, if they had left the toolbar where I set it, the applications folder would be about an inch drag away.
Instead, I must a) open a new finder window, b) option-command-T the toolbar back into existence, or c) hot-pop folders until my hand hurts.
I know the folder image you’ve hidden on the .dmg looks prettier when it’s in a naked finder window, but I keep many handy things in that toolbar, not the least of which is THE APPLICATIONS FOLDER, which is where YOU’VE TOLD ME to drag the icon. Bad user interface, bad.
I had the exact same experience today, and was thinking the same thing.
If you click the small rectangular/oval thing in the top right, it comes back.
True. Yet it is still an unnecessary step.
