Leopard slow finder fixed

[Jotaro]

Hi There, maybe somebody have seen some slowly behaviour about the finder when browse folder, move files, detele etc.

So exist one strange relationship between mouse settings and this slowly thing, when I set the mouse in the system preference rapidly the finder start to go slow, the solution is write below:

Open terminal.app and write:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

killall Finder

Go to username/Library/Preferences and delete .GlobalPreferences.plist

Open again terminal.app and write:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE

killall Finder

Restart

For setup the mouse I suggest to use Steermouse and never again the apple menu in system preference.

Now the finder run finally smoothly!

Please, please use code tags - they make Terminal commands much easier to read. I've edited the quote to insert the code tags where needed.

That said, thanks for the tip! I will try this and see if it works.
