I haven't yet tried assigning every program to the window it is on when it first starts yet. So, I will try that though it is a pretty laborious solution. But, I thought I would describe a situation that make the behavior particularly problematic, in case it is relevant to someone. I have a...

There seems to be a misunderstanding. I want to operate on a file, one time ever. Indexing the entire computer to find a file one time and then never again (potentially), is not something I can do.

The difference in search in finder might be because the folder I am looking at hasn't been indexed yet. Maybe. I am using Yosemite and can't yet upgrade to El Capitan. If it is not because it hasn't been indexed yet, then that seems hopeful that maybe there is something unusual I am doing to...

With finder open, looking at the folder that contains the file that I want to open, select, operate upon, if I type the file name, it searches the entire mac, not the folder that I am looking at. So, after some time presumably the file I am looking for would appear in that list. But, that is far...

That searches the entire mac. And, in the current situation, that would find thousands of similarly named files all over the place. I'm looking right at the folder the contains the file. If I could just type the name it would take a fraction of a second. Scrolling through thousands of similarly...

This reveals the file in finder: open -R blah ----------- Oh... actually, I found out a way that would work some times. From the command line: open -a FloopBart asdfaqwefq8jw0-e9f8jqw0e8f.asdfjpqwef Opens the file with FloopBart.app I would still rather do something like pressing...

I have a directory filled with files named like: asdfqwe4pr89hjq134r091j34rt-09u13405ru[adfshiga.something Scrolling to find the file is really tedious If start entering the filename in search it searches the entire mac. Command shift g opens a folder. Is there a way to type in a filename and...

I am running Yosemite. When I run a program from within another program, e.g. a java swing application, it always appears on the same workspace, which is usually not the workspace I am working in. Is there a way to get mission control to not make windows appear on a different workspace then the...
