macOS Tahoe: How to use Spotlight Search and customize folders

Transcript

At WWDC this week, Ale announced Mac Tahoe, the new operating system for Mac computers coming later this year. Of all the new features, I think that the folder customization and the new Spotlight search have the most potential for boosting your productivity and Finder. You can right click on a folder to get to the customized folder option. You can choose a color, and if you want, you can also choose a glyph for that folder. Now, when you see a long list of folders, you can quickly identify the one you're looking for. The new color and glyph are visible. In the gallery view, the column view, the list view, and even the icon view. If you choose a color for a few of your main projects, they will be much easier to find. Another tool that makes it easy to find things is the Spotlight Search and Mac Tahoe. When you open Spotlight and move the mouse cursor, you'll see these quick categories. You can search or see recent applications and launch them from here. You can search or browse recent files. Actions can trigger quick commands inside of. Applications, but my favorite is the clipboard history. This shows a list of recent things that you've copied and pasted. Click the copy button next to 1 S. You can paste it somewhere, or if you see a full file that you've copied, you can double click on it to paste it directly on the desktop. I've got a more detailed walkthrough of these features right now on YouTube, and I'll be publishing more preview videos as we lead up to the release of Mac OS Tahoe later this year.
