Ahh yes. Well, the Finder is the default running program.

I'm still really confused on your terminology there, Gregg in regards to the Finder. The way I look at it, the Finder is nothing more than Folders that you are opening up. No window that is open on the desktop will have Finder at the top. It's either Computer, Applications, Folder, etc, but there is no such thing as a "Finder" window with the name Finder at the top. Please take a screenshot and show me if there is.
I see the Finder as the environment that allows you to open and view windows. Windows that don't belong to any other program/application are the ones I'm calling Finder Windows.
But, not to stray too far from my question: Have you been able to control where Finder Windows (as defined above - or if you prefer; Folder Windows - is that better) appear in Spaces? I have not.
You can't assign which space is to have which finder window, but you can open up one in one space and then it'll be "assigned" to that space until you close it or restart your computer.

Exactly! Some Spaces can be empty, of course, in which case you only see the desktop if you click there, and Finder appears in the menu.
Yes, if any space is empty, the default is the Finder.

In a sense, the Finder is an application. Like other applications can be, it is active even if no window is opened in it.
I see from your second shot that there are finder windows open in several spaces. I want to control that, and have them only be visible in the Space I choose. I'm not sure that's possible.

You can't run a MacOSX without the Finder running. You CAN have certain finder windows opened in certain spaces, BUT, you have to keep them open in that space. Otherwise, it won't move to that designated space when you open up that folder.

The Finder is a program, and you can force quit it, but you can't run OSX without it, so the Finder starts right back up with no input from you.

This is a screenshot of all of my spaces. The smaller windows are "finder windows" opened in each space. Like I said before, if I was in space 4 and opened up a folder called "pictures", then when I go to space 1 and try to open up that same folder, Spaces takes me to the Space 4. And will keep doing it unless I close that pictures folder or move it to the space I want.

ok, I'm a bit confused guys.
When you say Finder Window, you do realize that this is a finder window?
When you open up any folder, basically you are in the finder, not an application. Can you all please clarify what you are talking about?

This is what I'm finding out, but didn't know before:
If I open up a folder on my desktop called pictures in Space 1, if I go to any other space and open up the folder pictures from there, it shifts back to space 1 to that open folder.
Now, if I went to space 4 and opened up applications folder, and went to space 6 and did the same thing, it would shift to space 4 to the already opened applications folder.
An easy way around this if I was in Space 6 and wanted to get that pictures folder open in that space (if the pictures folder was opened in say space 1), then I would click on the Finder icon in the dock and navigate to where I need to go.

Personally, I find Spaces to be a great tool!
Here's what I use it for, I have 6 "spaces" set.
Space 1: This is for internet surfing. So Safari, iChat, and Mail are assigned to this.
Space 2: Photoshop CS. This way I can work on a photo and not be distracted by iChat.
Space 3: Aperture. Aperture takes up the whole monitor, so I gave it it's own space.
Space 4: iTunes, Visual Hub, & Handbrake
Space 5: MS Office
Space 6: Final Cut Express. Same as Aperture.
I leave all these programs running all the time.

2007 / G5 Graphics Card
« on: December 13, 2007, 08:09:41 AM »
I have the 1st generation G5 and I can tell you that video card options for it suck.
I upgraded mine to the ATI 9600XT, which is 128MB of video memory. Look for it on ebay or buy new. Good card.

Vivica Fox - I think she's an actress?
Chuck Liddell - I think he's one of those Ultimate Fighter guys?
Ice T- rapper turned actor. hard core rapper too, check out his albums and song titles!
