Everyone tells me not to leave lots of icons on my desktop because of the resource hogging, so I bit the bullet and created a large, always icon folder I can refer to when I want and that will keep me organized. But there seems to be no snap-to-grid auto organization possible inside a folder.
So let me get this right? I shouldn't store lots of stuff on the desktop, but the desktop is the only space on my Mac that will auto arrange my files on the fly, drag and drop into clean columns anywhere in icon view on my Mac?
Am I truly understanding that correctly or is there a workaround in Yosemite?!
Trying to do the right thing, but apparently failing miserably. The folders in my new space are organizing themselves as they want and making it look REALLY disorganized just from the get go because they won't go in simple lines, most whatever I do.
Discouraging. A clean page is a joy to work in. And I don't want to arrange by date or name as I have a number of folders I used to sort and cluster like elements that may not have the same name or timing. One spot for this project, another folder for another part of my life, and places to leave some files up that I want to work with shortly.
Doesn't seem like it should be so hard to have an auto snap-to-grid in a folder, no?!
Help! Any real work arounds?!
