Features you didn't know about

I discovered some features too.. You have the Info Panel about a file/folder when you press "command + i". But when you press "command + alt + i" you get an Inspector. The inspector changes when you click on another file, the info panel stays the same.

Another cool feature is "Always open..." in the Action menu. When you select a file and press the Action Menu there appears "Open With". Now, when you hold down the alt button, this changes in "Always open with". The negative side of this feature is that it set this preference for the selected file only, not all the doc-files for example.

I used WindowShade. The dock does not replace it, but Exposé does, partially. Exposé is better in that it lets us see the content of the window (active) it is less practical as it does not keep the order on the desk (aligning the title bars on the right of the screen was a good solution, like Adobe tools that you can shrink).

Sorry to bring an old thread back to life, but I just read through this one, and thought I'd recommend an app for those of you seeking to quickly get the frontmost window out of the way to see what's going on behind it.
GeekBind is a app that allows you to manipulate windows in all sort of ways using the keyboard, like making them transparent or moving them, etc. The reason I recommend it is because it has an option to make whichever window your mouse is over disappear for a second while the key combo is pressed. Very handy for seeing what's going on in back of say a Safari window.

One cool tip I found out a while ago and use all the time is you can command-drag items in the Dock and it's like you're dragging the actual file! You can also command-click an item in the Dock to reveal it in the Finder.

I use kainjow's tip all the time for dragging applications to the Script Editor to get its AppleScript dictionary.

Very useful.

That's exactly what I use it for too
