The Finder in Mac OS 8.5 has a number of enhanced features and performance improvements. The following list highlights many of these improvements:
List View- Resizable and reorderable list views
- List views for each window are resizable. To resize a list column, place the mouse pointer in between the column headings until it changes to the resize cursor, then click and drag the column to the desired size.
- List view column headings can be reordered for each window. To reorder the column headings, click and drag the column heading to the left or right of another heading, then release the mouse button (NOTE: The name column cannot be reordered).
- New option in the Appearance control panel for "smart scrolling" adds proportional scroll boxes and double scroll arrows.
Icon View- For a window with active scroll bars, doing a Command-Drag by clicking on any background area of the window allows the window to be scrolled in either direction. Scrolling in both the horizontal and vertical directions can be done simultaneously this way.
