Great video! I can give this to the guy who lives with us who is new to his Mac and is still very new at it!
While it wasn't as easy to do as I would have hoped, if, while moving through folders, you want to return the file to the previous folder(s), you can hover the file and pointer over the back icon in Finder and it will go back.
The back/forward buttons and View Mode segmented controls are also spring loaded. After spring loading a folder, you can hover over the back button to go back without having to cancel the drag.
Also, if you have a Magic Trackpad 2 (the one with force click) then you can force click while dragging to force a spring load to happen now instead of waiting for the timeout. (just be careful not to release the force click so much that you let go of the drag)
Thanks, I've been using it but I wasn't aware about how much more useful it is in the Column View and about the use of the spacebar.
I'm not a fan of column view but I liked the idea of Spring-Loaded Folders. I don't think it will work for me because when you enable mouse keys it defaults to column view when you open the finder. Otherwise it would be very helpful.
