As a new Mac owner I'm frustrated by what seems to be the inability to understand how the Mac visibly shows the path of a folder system when in the finder. The three options of viewing Finder including List, columns and Icons is maddening. I can't find anyway for the finder view to keep track of a folder as I progress into it and then back out of it again. The closest option is to use the columns view. This does show the path of a folder system from where you started and ended. The down side is that when you get to the end of the path, say a folder of images, you can only see one image at a time. I want to be able to see all of the images as icons but that's only possible in Icon view. Downside to this option is that Icon view does not allow you to see the path. this is difficult to explain in writing but in short, Windows XP allows you to keep track of the path much more efficiently unless there is something I'm missing. For example; in XP, If I click on a folder in My Computer it opens. I then select another folder and so on. Now when I back out of that folder it shows me, by way of highlighting, the folder I had originally selected. It allows you to backtrack and know where you are and where you have been. This is very helpful when working with lots of images and you need to see them as icons. Any thoughts out there?. Am I missing something in the Mac OS?I'm hoping this minor but important issue is fixed in the new upcoming OS upgrade.
