Computers - Managing files and folders

I have made this post as a record for myself and I thought it would help others

Apple - Creating Folders

Create a new folder by looking at the menu across the top of the screen. You'll find create new folder under file or edit.

The new folder pops up at the end of your list of folders after you've opened Finder. You click on the text and type in the new name. The folder disappears! Relax. It's moved up the alphabetical list from U for untitled to whatever letter you started the name with.

Now you can move other files into your new folder. You can even move one folder into another if you've accidentally created two folders with the same name. You can find your folder easily by clicking on an icon at the top next to the eye (which means quick look - open it without altering it). This gives you a series of colours you can click on. The colour is not font colour but a highlight.

Filing Emails in G-mail

I create a file called 'A filing folder', using the letter A to bring the filing folder to the top of the list of files alongside my incoming mails. Then I can slide them across from my inbox into the filing folder. 

That way I haven't lost anything. I don't have to read the message. Just get it out of the way. 

I leave in the inbox meetings whose dates I need to check

I can later clear A Filing Folder and file a whole batch together. Which saves time.

To get a file to the top of the list, put an exclamation mark at the start.
