Remember you can "close" the other sections of that left column, and even reorder them, to have the tags on top for instance.Īlso remember that you can create more tags. You can use tags (with associated colours) on your folders, and then find them by clicking on the tag selector at the bottom of the left column (the sidebar) of the file selector dialog. So you could have a Finder window in "List" view with all folders open except those which contain files, and drag and drop the target folder to the file sector dialog. You can also drag and drop any folder from Finder to the file selector dialog. Just type the name of the folder, then select the folder. If your folders have unique names, the "Save as." file selector dialog has "Search" field (top left or ⌘F). If you're saving a bunch of files like you describe, this could potentially speed things up.įor each new set of folders to save stuff in, simply replace the shortcuts in the Shortcuts directory. If you open a shortcut to a folder in the Finder (including the native save/open windows), it will navigate to that actual folder. Now you can easily replace the shortcuts with the directories you need to put stuff in, and only take up one slot in the sidebar. Then add ~/Documents/Shortcuts to the favorites sidebar in the Finder. So you have this file structure: /complicated/path/./dir1Īnd then you have shortcuts to these folders like this: ~/Documents/Shortcuts/dir1 Create a folder somewhere (anywhere) (let's call it "Shortcuts"), and add shortcuts to the targets folders to this folder. You mentioned that you didn't want to clutter up your Favorites sidebar with this stuff, but you can make it a bit more compact by using a container folder. You can then access these locations by key-command.
