It's only ever when I've been freelancing in an office

and they say 'we've only got Macs here' and then it takes me about 20 times longer to do my job because it's like working with one hand tied behind my back while the 'user-friendly' OS does its level best to hide all the files I've been working on

It's like using a computer designed by a retarded cretin

You're serious, aren't you?

So you never found the 'files created today/this week / month etc' one-click search that's built into any finder window?

I'm serious

I just want to see a file tree. I really don't understand why Apple have such an aversion to showing me one.

Sorry, I'm really not trying to be contrary.

But Finder windows do use list/tree views:

That's what I have set as default, as I agree with you, it makes finding stuff much easier.

But then you go to find another file location, perhaps to copy something

and it loses where you were before so you have to go through the whole rigmarole again

I can feel my blood rising just imagining it
