Eight power tips for the advanced Leopard user

Leopard DesktopIf hidden screen savers and monitoring CPU cores are your thing, you’ll love these eight power tips for Leopard users submitted by MacOSXHints.com readers and painstakingly assembled by the Macworld staff.

From the advanced screen sharing tips we pointed out a couple of months ago and removing the annoying duplicate entries in the ‘Open With’ menu to OS X’s aforementioned secret screen saver stash, this short list has it all. Such is the nature of these tips that you might not know that you need them but will be glad to have them in the back of your mind.

Be warned though that this list comprises of Terminal commands and dabbling with application properly lists (which Apple is so protective of that they’ve made Spotlight exclude them from the search results in Leopard) and that might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Think before you leap.

Ever tried using QuickLook to look at an email without opening Mail.app? It works, and helps in sticky situations.

Why am I forced to make a lot of clicks to find a file by name?
In Tiger I used to invoke Command-F with the criteria Name by content.
Now is a real nightmare. Have you ever tried to find a file only remembering part of the name of that file in a specific volume?
