Any work with documents, files, and everything related to them, is carried out in the Finder. In it, as in any other application, OS X, there is a toolbar for quick access to the most popular functions. She gives in to set up, and now we have this opportunity to squeeze out everything that you can and will make your work with the Finder as convenient.
Change the arrangement of icons
The standard order of icons in the toolbar can be customized to your liking. They can easily be reversed by simply dragging. Do not forget to hold the Command (Cmd) key, as we do when moving icons on the menu bar.
delete unnecessary
We changed the order, but still something to prevent? Remove! Just grab and hold the Command, remove unwanted icons from the panel - it immediately disappears. To save space, you can safely remove at least three icons: "View" (usually we choose the kind of once and for all), as well as "Action" and "Share" (both are duplicated in the context menu).
Add the action icons
Now that you've cleared a space on the panel, it is time to add useful things. This setting is performed in the eponymous menu ( "View» → «Customize Toolbar"). There are extracting icons disks, create a new folder, and many other commonly used actions. To add them to the panel, simply drag back.
Group the icons
When you add a few new icons to the toolbar, it may look a little overloaded. To avoid this, the icons on the panel can be grouped using spacers. They are of two types: fixed (space) and floating (brace). The latter differs from the first one, which changes the spacing between icons proportionally width panel by increasing or decreasing Finder window.
Add application icons, files and folders
For applications there are docking, and for files and folders - sidebar, but you reach the toolbar is much faster than before them. When you often work with those or other files or programs, it makes sense to add them directly on the toolbar Finder. This is not said, but so can you!
And the files and folders, and applications can be placed in any part of the toolbar. To do this, you have to drag them back, already accustomed to holding down the Command key. It will feel good Automator scripts, applications that you frequently open files (up to the panel to drag them closer than to the dock), as well as the files and folders. Remove and arrange them in a new way is possible in the same way as regular icons - dragging while holding Command.
