Unimplemented Preferences
I was checking out a problem with Menu Master keys not working in some applications and I noticed the following preferences in the Finder defaults write com.apple.Finder AllowCutForItems true You can cut, but not paste so it is completely worthless. Just places the items in the trash. That's all I could find so far. Neat huh? Should I look for more?

'NewWindowTargetIsHome' i suspect this is the: "New Finder window opens: Home / Computer" toggle in the finder prefs window. i think he means Cut and Paste ! which despite being a interface design usability no-no, is actually a pretty useful feature. its a pity apple took out a lot of the old hidden features in osx finder. i loved the individual icon sizing in finder 10.2. Posted by: Alex Kent on February 10, 2004 7:10 AMThis DisableAllAnimations is horrible. When you open a window, it takes so long! It would have been great if the speed to open the window would have been enhanced with this option on, like in OS 9... Posted by: Ced on February 10, 2004 9:40 AMAre you sure it actually takes longer? I suspect that with animations enabled you simply have something to distract you while the Finder actually does work vs without it just does nothing until the information is available. Posted by: Rincewind on February 10, 2004 3:23 PMYeah, it speeds things up for me, my old iMac is pretty slow with animations sometimes. It definitely doesn't slow things down, I can't see why Ced thinks it's horrible... Posted by: Reilly on February 10, 2004 4:30 PMstrings /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder reveals most of these preferences... DesktopViewOptions ... ... (and much, much more) Also cool stuff like: While you're at it, can you go looking for a preference to set the default sidebar width? Huge sidebars (I'd prefer width-40 -- just icons) drive me mad.

Test by setting another folder as the New Window Target in Finder prefs and check the string for its language. Posted by: Ben Rosenthal on February 18, 2004 3:06 PMKeep comments on topic.
