Mac tip! Open a folder in a new window.

Ok, a kind of basic mac tip, but it can be a real time-saver.

To open a folder in a new window, just hold command while double clicking the folder.

Mac Tip! Always on top in quicktime … on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

Something that always bugged me still isn't fixed in snow leopard, the absence of "always on top" in quicktime. In earlier versions of Mac OS X you can just install Afloat (which uses plugsuit), but plugsuit isn't supported (yet) in Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), so here is a workaround:

•Install Afloat (this also installs plugsuit), don't authorize plugsuit, cause plugsuit doesn't work in snow leopard, and remove it (only plugsuit, not Afloat!) using the Afloat installer.
•Install SIMBL-0.9.5b or newer. (SIMBL replaces plugsuit).
•Log out and back in or reboot could be nescesary
Now you have "keep afloat" (= always on top), and other options in the windows pane in most of your apps.

Just to be clear: in leopard you don't need the workaround, you can just install Afloat.

Hope you enjoy the tip,
