    Thanks Jeff! One tip I found works better on adding folders to the Dock: No need to create an alias (I hate that arrow on the bottom right corner of folders), right click on any folder you want added or click on that folder then press (Command + I) then find the preview to which you can drag that and drop it on the dock. You then right click on that and change the display to Folder and View Content as Grid or anything that suits your viewing taste. Hope this helps!

You jumped right into the video, gave tips I've never heard of and concentrated on providing value rather than promoting anything!

    I think the battery percentage feature is hidden so deeply, because Apple essentially doesn't want you to think about the battery.

      Hahahaha good point!

    • @craigmcfly
      @craigmcfly 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It is odd that they've put it there. I think their intention was that it's a customisation thing, whereas the Battery panel is more for turning it on and off. I do agree it should just be a simple pulldown within Battery though.

      I prefer the programm "stats" from github over the percentage of Apples battery percantages. It shows me more information, including the remaining battery in hours and mins. (additionally to many other things like CPU or RAM usage).

    The downloads folder you've created has to stay somewhere, otherwise if you delete it - it will work only as long as you don't clear your trash, because once you do that and the link is gone completely - the folder in the dock will stop working as well. So create the link with Cmd + Option + Drag and save it somewhere in Documents or somewhere and drag from there to the dock.
    Also if you want to restore your original Downloads (if you remove it from the dock) - just drag it back to the dock, just make sure your alias either a) deleted by then or b) does not have name Downloads otherwise dragging the original download folder won't work because there is already an object named Downloads is there.

    This was super informative. Although the battery thing is a non issue for me. You can set battery alert threshold instead of being paranoid on percentage. You really only need to know critical points of battery usage and the icon can give you that information. Full, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, alert to charge now.
    I feel more intimate with my Mac after watching this.
    P.S. might take more energy to display the percentage 🤔

    • @JeffSu

      Are you talking about iStat Menus to display the battery alert? Or is there a default alert option?

    Use column view in finder. It makes icons smaller than they need to be and allows you to see the folder breadcrumbs. Also decrease the size of your file thumb nails on your desktop to make it look much cleaner. No need for the icons to be so big
