Hi there
I remember the good days of Tiger and Leopard when I could fly through the
folders with column view. I had the mussel memory in my fingers pretty much
worked out so that when I knew the folder that I wanted, I would shoot level
past level. Once I remember a friend commented how the folders just flew by as
though it were scroll view. Ah such fine days they were, but I remember with
the added verbosity in Snow Leopard I had to give that up for list view.
Basically the problem that I have had lately with it is when I go into a folder
in column view, it wants to read something like (list one item selected) or
something like that, which basically slows me down. When I used to go to a new
folder, the first thing I heard and cared to hear was the name of the folder
that my cursor was focused over, but now I have to wait something like two
seconds for that information, which slows me down quite a bit. I wonder if
anyone ever figured out how to make it so VO stops announcing a new list view
every time I arrow into a new folder?
It would be nice to start using column view like I used to, but so far I am
finding that list view is more efficient.
Later
