(These #s are purely made up, but I'm sure you see my point.) The site would really need to be redesigned to show old hints that are still valid - maybe have a button on old hints where users can confirm what OS versions they are valid in, and each OS version could have a separate archive for links to old but valid hints? I'm not really sure what the best way to do this would be, but I'd love to hear ideas since I am trying to design a similar site. How do we decide how old a hint can be before duplicating it? Is it for each OS version? Probably most of the hints valid in one OS are valid in the next version, so we would end up with, for example, 500 hints for Tiger, then 400 of those would be duplicated for Leopard plus 500 new ones, then 800 of those would be duplicated for SL plus 500 more new ones. But this site is mainly an archive of hints. You have a good point Just yesturday, I found several useful hints (some as far back as '03) when I was searching to see if some I discovered recently were already posted. The Desktop folder is located within the Home folder, so it makes sense that Command-Up Arrow would open Home in the situations described, for even when the user only clicks on the Desktop, thats the folder which the FInder considers selected. This is a little easier than clicking the Command+Shift+H to get there. And there is a logic here, in case anyone is wondering. It appears the Desktop now works exactly like a Finder window for this. I have tested this and you can have either nothing selected or anything selected and it still works. I had to check to understand how I did that. So, today (having just upgraded to Snow Leopard a few days ago I know I am late), I used this same shortcut but up popped a new Finder window for my home directory. In Finder, I have always used Command+Up arrow to go up one level to go through my subdirectories very quickly, especially when developing and am traversing the same directory sections. I accidentally found a new shortcut to the Home folder in Snow Leopard.
