Coming from Windows where the search actually works properly, how do I get spotlight to work properly? I just downloaded a video file and I do not know where it is, I type the name of the file in spotlight and there are no results. In windows the startmenu search would have netted a result, it even searches inside text files! How come Macs cannot work as well as Windows?
Another problem, when I click on a folder in the dock, how can I get it to go directly into finder, I don't want to click 2 times, clicking once to open the folder and clicking "view in finder" to get to the actual filesystem.
Next, preview is garbage, I liked Windows photoviewer or irfanview much much better. I need suggestions for an alternative. Selecting all files with Command+ A and pressing space to view them won't cut it anymore.
I need a suggestion for a video player, MPC-HC was the best video player ever, don't tell me the best Mac has is VLC...
Same request for a music player, in windows I used MediaMonkey, right now I am using itunes, it is no good. I don't need a fancy music player, just one that works well. I really liked RhythmBox in linux, rhythmbox and mediamonkey are pretty good, I want something similar in the Mac.
How about cutting in Mac? Cut doesn't work the way like it does in windows. It is funny because cut works exactly the way it should work in windows, and macs can't get it right.
