Column View The goal of column view is simple to let you burrow down through nested folders without leaving a trail of messy overlapping windows in your wake. The solution is shown in Figure 1-21. It s a list view that s divided into several vertical panes. The first pane not counting the Sidebar shows whatever disk or folder you first opened. When you click a disk or folder in this list once the second pane shows a list of everything in it. Each time you click a folder in one pane the pane to its right shows what s inside. The other panes slide to the left sometimes out of view. Use the horizontal scroll bar to bring them back. You can keep clicking until you re actually looking at the file icons inside the most deeply nested folder. Figure 1-21. If the rightmost folder contains pictures sounds Office documents or movies you can look at them or play them right there in the Finder. You can drag this jumbo preview icon anywhere into another folder or the Trash for example. If you discover that your hunt for a particular file has taken you down a blind alley it s not a big deal to backtrack since the trail of folders you ve followed to get here is still sitting before you on the screen. As soon as you click a different folder in one of the earlier panes the panes to its right suddenly change so that you can burrow down a different rabbit hole. Furthermore the Sidebar is always at the ready to help you jump to a new track just click any disk or folder icon there to select a new first-column listing for column view. The beauty of column view is first of all that it keeps your screen tidy. It effectively shows you several simultaneous folder levels but contains them within a single window. With a quick -W you can close the entire window panes and all. Second column view provides an excellent sense of where you are. Because your trail is visible at all times it s much harder to get lost wondering what folder you re in and how you got there than in any other window .
