Leopard Finder - Smart Sidebar Items
Advertisements
Initially, Leopard Finder has 6 pre-defined smart folders on it sidebar. Actually, there are 11 of them provided. How to activate all 11 of them?
They are called CannedSearches
First of all, you should spot them first. If you follow these simple steps, spotting them won't be hard :
- Open Finder
- Go to Macintosh HD ▸ System ▸ Library ▸ CoreServices ▸ Finder
- Right-click on Finder icon and choose
Show Package Contents - Dig inside Contents ▸ Resources ▸ CannedSearches
Plug Them All
Here you should be able to see 11 predefined search items. I believe, you won't be patient enough to read ahead and start dragging them to your sidebar. And you find out that those items cannot be dragged directly to sidebar.
But sure, there is a way to place them nicely on your Finder sidebar :
- Choose one of them
- Right-click and then choose
Show Package Contents - Copy the folder named
search.savedSearchto your Desktop (you can also copy it to your home folder) - Rename it
- Now you can drop it to your Finder sidebar and the file you copied just now can be deleted
I'd like to thanks Apple Matters and the author Tanner Godarzi for this nice trick.

Unsurprisingly, it has now obtained a reputation for being Englands surfing capital but there's much more to Newquay than being just a surfers paradise.
Being one of the Southernmost parts of Britain means Newquay also enjoys some of the best weather, comparable to what could be expected in Northern France.
Beach lovers will want to head to Fistral Beach - this is in fact the best known surfing beach offering fast, hollow waves for surfers. Another popular beach in Newquay is Watergate Bay although this beach is more suited to beginner surfers. Beginners may also want to try Crantock Beach as it is sheltered. There are numerous places in Newquay to hire surfing equipment and surf schools are also available for those who come only to ride the waves.
As you would expect, Newquay offers a wide variety of cuisine options for just about every pallet. Local specialities include cream teas & Cornish pasties offered by the many tea rooms & bakeries. Cornish ice-cream is also very rich and creamy and well worth a taste. N...
