Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What do you find wrong with Finder?

Gris,

I like Path Finder a whole lot. That's my "finder" of choice.

I have no problems with the standard Leopard Finder. I have no problems finding anything, and if I do, Spotlight has no problems finding it for me.

And I'm majorly in love with the dock.

Hey. New board.

I also like Path Finder a lot, actually. The "Queue" is one of my favorite features of all time, with the quick-access terminal nearly as awesome. But I stopped wanting to pay the upgrade fees a while ago.

The Finder is way better now than it used to be. But I used to have troubles that I'm essentially incapable of explaining. One thing I do hate still: in List View (my view of choice), it's impossible to create a new folder inside of an uncollapsed folder that ISN'T the root folder of the window. At least, I've not figured out how.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The thing that annoys me about Finder is that you can't easily reorder items in column view. Sometimes I want to switch between alphabetically and date created on the fly and there isnt a button for that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

HTML table question:

This is for a web application that only runs on IE. Currently I'm testing it on IE8.

I define a table like so:

<table frame="box" width="100%" align="center" rules="none" >

The problem is the table border has that 3-D effect, which we don't want. All we want is a one-pixel wide border around a table.

When I try this:

<table frame="box" width="100%" align="center" rules="none" border="1" >

or this:

<table frame="box" width="100%" align="center" rules="none" border="1" style="border-style: solid">

I still get the 3-D border effect. I would think that specifying a border one-pixel wide would result in a one-pixel wide, non-3D border, but no. Do I need to define something in a stylesheet?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What happens when you take out the frame= and border= attributes, and keep the style= attribute?

Doing this:

<table width="100%" align="center" rules="none" style="border-style: solid">

has the same problem.

When I do just the style thing:

<table style="border-style: solid">

there's no 3-D effect. The border is solid but not black, and looks to be 3 or 4 pixels wide.

My boss said we could go with that for now.

Thanks!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

or style="border: 1px solid"
