| | Macintosh Finder - definition of Macintosh Finder in Encyclopedia |
 | | Finder 8.0 was the first version to be multithreaded. | | | The Finder maintains a view of the file system that is rendered using the desktop metaphor - that is, the files and folders are represented as appropriate icons, volumes are displayed on the desktop, and there is a trash can to which files can be dragged to mark them for deletion. | | | It was introduced with the very first Macintosh computer, and also existed as part of GS/OS on the Apple II It underwent a complete rewrite with Apple's switch to a UNIX-based OS in Mac OS X. |

| | GUIdebook > Articles > “Evaluating the Macintosh Finder” |
| | The Macintosh is not an easy system to develop programs for, and Apple has compounded the problem by failing to provide quality technical information and software tools for the small software developer. | | | The Finder is built around several key concepts: the desktop metaphor, data as objects, mouse integration, and the shared user interface. | | | Inserting or ejecting a disk takes from 2 to 15 seconds of computer time depending on the configuration of windows for the disk and how many disk icons are on the “desktop.” With MS-DOS, disk handling is not under software control, so no computer time is required. |

| | Technical Note TB535: Finder Q&As |
| | Finder aliases are one aspect of the Macintosh human interface considered "reserved for users." The format is intentionally undefined because it is subject to change, and because alias files should be neither created nor altered by applications. | | | Changes to the Finder information are cached until the folder that contains the objects that were changed is closed (which happens at system restart or shutdown time) or until some noncached change is made to the object (for example, the file is renamed). | | | Under System 6, the Finder adds information about the last application copied to a disk to the disk's Desktop file, and that application is used for opening documents with the appropriate creator type. |

| | RFC 1740 (rfc1740) - MIME Encapsulation of Macintosh Files - MacMIME |
| | Even though an AppleDouble file includes the original Macintosh filename, it is recommended that a name parameter be included on the Content-Type header of both the header and data parts of the AppleDouble file to give the recipient a hint as to what file is attached. | | | The Data fork is typically the only meaningful part of a Macintosh file on a non-Macintosh computer system. | | | For example, both forks of a Macintosh file, the Finder information, and an associated comment are arranged in a single file with a simple structure. |
