Your Mac does the searching for you and does it continuously. The big advantage of Smart Folders is that they’re always up-to-date with data they’re assigned to search for. The original files aren’t moved they’re just displayed together. However, the AWT Presentation Smart Folder collates them in one place. For example, if I implement one called AWT Presentation, the files in the “smart” folder might be spread across different folders. You should note Smart Folders are virtual folders. Begin typing in the folder’s search field, or click the Action pop-up menu, then choose Show Search Criteria. To change the criteria for a Smart Folder, open the Smart Folder. If an error message appears, try using another name. You can’t use certain characters, including punctuation such as a colon (:), in folder names. If you don’t want your Smart Folder to be in the sidebar, deselect Add To Sidebar. The menus work in pairs for example, to search for images, you choose Kind from the pop-up menu on the left, then choose Images from the pop-up menu next to it.Ĭlick Save, then specify a name and location for your Smart Folder.
