Here’s Another, Easier Way To Make A New Folder Full Of Selected Items

I make a new folder in the Finder using Shift-Command-N, or by selecting New Folder from the Finder menu, then Command- or Shift-click all the files I want to put into that folder, and drag them all over. I’ve heard you can even copy and paste files into a new folder the same way, but I’m kind of old school and don’t mess with that.

 Today, though, I read about a totally different way to do this. Color me surprised (and a bit chagrined) to find out that there’s an easier way to put a bunch of items into a new folder in the Finder.

 So, if you’re in the Finder, go ahead and Command-click on all the items you want to put into a new folder. Then, right click on any of the selected files, and choose New Folder with Selection.

 You can also head up to the File menu, and choose New Folder with Selection, or you can simply hit Control-Command-N to do the same thing.

Now, this seems like a pretty simple thing, but Mac OS X is full of these little refinements that just get by us once in a while. Hopefully, this is something you can use to make things just that much easier for you.
