This works in most apps, not just Finder. Let’s say you have a file open. Cmd+click on the proxy icon (yes, that’s what it’s called) allows you to see where the file is located. AFAIK macOS is the only operating system that allows you to do that, which is crazy. It’s incredibly useful.

I've always depended on Disk Utility. It a great tool. My wife was a big fan of Stickies. Font Book is in my Dock along with Automator, Script Editor and the Terminal. I have the last MacBook Pro with an internal DVD drive. The DVD Player app used to always be in the Utilities folder but it isn't anymore. A Spotlight search wouldn't reveal it. I had to set the disk insert action in System Preferences to have it automatically launch DVD Player to coax it out of hiding. Once it was running I put it in the Dock where I can find it again if I need it.

Related to the dictionary app, what I often use is force touching on a word with the trackpad, either on a laptop or with the magic trackpad, and getting a quick view of meaning, and especially thesaurus. This comes through clutch when writing. You can also set it up to display dictionaries in other languages, so my wife uses force touch on her laptop to quickly translate words in her native language.

I have 174 entries in my Applications folder (many are apps that I have added) and another 17 entries in Applications/Utilities. And just out of curiosity, at one time or another I have launched every app just to see what it does.

It keeps saying not enough space on drive, so I wiped and deleted it still this same issue. 2: can a Mac once wiped clean with 7 delta wipe with no backup's or cloud in use be recovered say with disk drill app? 3: can a wipe clean delete and reinstall remove all spyware/viruses from my Mac? 4: can you do a how to do video on all these things? I don't have the original software operating reinstall disk anymore. I think it was the one or two before the Lion one. Help me please!

Requirements for macOS versions are based on the model, not the details like hard drive type. Not sure why you are getting a not enough space message. Hard to diagnose from afar. I've never used "disk drill" so I can't say. But you can use Internet Recovery to reinstall macOS. (No need for a 7 delta wipe on an SSD BTW). A wipe will delete everything, so if you have malware it will delete that too. See kzitem.info/news/bejne/0JWHunutoXx0l3o

I refused to use the methods on KZitem that require a download whether it was free or for purchase. My paranoia about these anti-adware programs is that they were created by the same people that came up with the fix. That's just me and my paranoidal bewares and cautions that haunt me.
