#51653 — Spotlight & Other Changes in Mavericks

FromSavageduck <savageduck1@{REMOVESPAM}me.com>
Date2013-11-02 15:16 -0700
SubjectSpotlight & Other Changes in Mavericks
Message-ID<2013110215163944927-savageduck1@REMOVESPAMmecom>
Since I have moved from OSX 10.6.8 to 10.9 there have been a few 
changes I can tolerate and one or two I find irritating and might just 
have to tolerate.
This little rant does not include the whine over applications lost due 
to lost support such as MT-NW. I will stick to four issues.

1.	With "Spotlight" in 10.6.8, if I hovered the cursor over any file in 
the result list I was able to see/read path information to that file. 
Now with "Spotlight" in 10.9 it has no trouble locating files and 
providing a similar result list, but the once useful path information 
is now a thing of the past. We have been given the very pretty, fat 
thumbnails, which is are useless when it comes to providing location 
information.
Does anybody here know how to go about restoring that old SL feature? 
...or am I just pissing in the wind?

2.	In a 10.6.8 finder/folder window I used to have information 
regarding the number of items in that window and the available disc 
space available of that particular partition. In 10.9, we have a very 
neat and clean window design ( the bottom of the window is now Jon Ive 
uncluttered) with none of that information and no option in the Finder 
Preferences, or the View Options to restore that information. While I 
can certainly select "Get Info" to get specific information in the 
usual Info window, the old tag at the bottom of the folder/finder 
window is gone, sacrifice to the Gods of neatness.

3.	What ever happened to "Save as" in Preview? What were they thinking?

4.	...and now for my idiot encounter.
After my 10.6.8 to 10.9 move, I checked all my various applications to 
see what other than MT-NW was lost to me. I have a LinkSys/Cisco E4200 
providing me with my home Wi-Fi network. With that comes "Cisco 
Connect" management app. when I checked that I got this message;
"Unsupported Operating system
The router software supports these operating systems:
-Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later
-Mac OS X 10.6.1 or later
-Mac OS X 10.7 or later"

Obviously they didn't stick strictly to the meaning of "later" I am 
familiar with as 10.9 is certainly later than 10.6.1. So I called 
support as the support page was positively unsupportive. After 
explaining my issue to the resident "support idiot" he suggested that 
my best solution would be to replace my E4200 with their latest 
offering. I asked if the software packaged with their latest routers 
was OSX 10.9 compatible, he had no idea. He had no idea how they would 
provide an update if and when one would become available for my E4200 
or the latest & greatest they have for sale as they don't have 
downloads available, only manual PDFs.

Sheesh!!!

While your white pants look nice in wind blown pale yellow you can also 
search in finder.  The path is at the bottom of the finder window, and 
you can "right" click to "open enclosing folder" (or "view in finder", 
whatever).

I still have it (in the File menu).  There's no toolbar button (was 
there before?).

Can't help you there - to put a point on it: I have no issues at all.

OK! That solves the that issue. So, tell me again, why should I use 
"Spotlight now?

That has always existed and is useful when needed. However, that seems 
to be providing an answer to the prior issue and only provides path 
information for the open folder and does not rest or replace the 
information which was previously available in "Spotlight". It certainly 
doesn't address my peeve #2.

I don't. It has vanished, blown away by the Cupertino "cyber winds".
< https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1295663/FileChute/screenshot_351.jpg >

> There's no toolbar button (was there before?).

Nope, I always accessed the "Save As " in Preview from the File menu or 
keyboard short cut.
In 10.9 the former keyboard shortcut for "Save As" (Shift-cmnd-S) is 
now assigned to "Duplicate".

As I have said, nothing insurmountable, and nothing I cannot tolerate, 
but I am irritated a tad, and I am mostly pleased with OSX 10.9.

Personally I've never seen a reason use Spotlight, but some people
(including some of the MacFormat magazine staff) love it and use it to
do everything - find document, launch applications, etc.

I esp. use it to launch secondary apps (like terminal)

     - cmd-spacebar
     - <t> <e>
     - <enter>

that's it.  running.

Dictionary lookups.


For files I use the spotlight entry in Finder.

Never liked Spotlight... hated it since day one, but it's a necessary 
evil.

I use an app called EasyFind that allows you about a million more search 
options.

https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11076/easyfind

It's free, uses very little memory, and it's available from the App 
Store.

easyfind uses spotlight under the hood.

what's much better and works like find used to work is find any file.

it walks the b-trees rather than rely an an index that might be out of
date or even corrupt.

Precisely: It's gui is why it exists.

I'm a big fan of Devon.

however, it's still subject to spotlight's limitations.

find any file does not use spotlight and therefore has no problem
finding anything.

like its name says, it really does find any file.

Despite the fact that it currently has some catch-up with Mavericks 
left to go, I'm downloading it now. My needs can always be bettered.

I don't think so. From the EasyFind read me:

"EasyFind finds files, folders or contents in any file without the need 
for indexing. This is especially useful if you are tired of slow or 
impossible indexing, outdated or corrupted indexes, or if you are just 
looking for missing features like case sensitive or insensitive search, 
Boolean operators and wildcards or searching for phrases."

This is why EasyFind is slower than SpotLight, **IF** SpotLight finds 
what you're looking for. In my long use of EasyFind, it has NEVER not 
found an item which *is*there*. SpotLIght *regularly* misses items which 
I know are there and in places where it should look, like my home 
folder, even when I have rebuilt the SpotLight index. I have done 
experiments where I'll be looking right at a file I'm trying to find 
with SpotLight, and it'll not find it.

Another useful tool I've used which is very fast is Locator, a GUI for 
the built-in UNIX locate command (the inspiration for SpotLight). OS 
10's chron routines evidently no longer update the locate database, but 
Locator has a button to do this. However, EasyFind and Find Any File are 
what I use most of the time.

i must be thinking of something else then.

there are a few spotlight 'replacements', but all they do is wrap a gui
around the cryptic spotlight commands.

that's because spotlight is fundamentally broken by relying on an
index, which may be out of sync with what's on the hard drive (or
corrupt and it doesn't tell you that).

it isn't actually searching the hard drive.

Hmm. It doesn't index but it doesn't explicitly say it doesn't USE 
indexes if they are available...

For those who do like using Spotlight, there is app called Quicksilver
which is apparently a even better and does more.

Spotlight is much *much* faster than Easyfind.

Sometimes I'm glad to take slower if I get "more specific".

I suspect that anyone who uses the "language" of spotlight will get as 
many options as needed and quicker results.

eg: negation to exclude results; boolean operators; file kinds, etc. 
winnow out the results quite handily.

As do I--particularly when I only have a shard in mind of the file name.
