2. Smart folder
File management may be the biggest difference between Windows system and Mac OS X. Forget the Windows management logic of drive letters and file lists, Mac OS X management is based on the attributes of the files themselves. If you have a lot of files but don't know how to organize them quickly, and don't want to use third-party file management software, the smart folder function of Mac OS X is your best choice. Open the file option in the upper left corner of the Finder manager, in the drop-down list, select New Smart Folder
A new blank folder will pop up, don’t worry, you can select the search scope at the beginning of the folder, the entire hard drive or the current folder. After confirming, click the + sign on the right, a new line of options will appear
In the list on the left, we can perform an advanced search for files according to type, date, name, and even content
The system will quickly list the corresponding files, at a glance~
3 Use 16 desktops to quickly expand your work category.
Unlike a single Windows desktop, Mac supports 16 independent desktops running at the same time, just like 16 computers, each desktop is independent. Allows you to quickly switch software windows in various scenarios.
Use the touchpad to launch the thumbnails of the entire application list with three fingers, and then click on the new desktop in the upper right corner, you will have a brand new clean desktop, carefully categorize your work
4 Quickly lock the screen to prevent you from seeing my desktop
Open the system preferences, click on the desktop and screen saver icons, and select the option of trigger angle
In the following interface, choose to put the monitor into sleep mode in the lower right corner, and click OK to confirm.
Then turn on security and privacy, and in the general options, check Require a password to enter sleep immediately.
