In Mac OS 10.4 Apple introduced a new search called Spotlight. This search engine is based on crawling through an index of meta data. Most of this data is automatically retrieved in the background through the daily use of Mac OS X. This article would like to address an inefficiency with the current implementation of entering spotlight comments manually.

In 1984 the Macintosh was released with Mac OS 1 which had two different views for the computers file structure–Icon and List view. Around 20 years later Apples Mac OS X provides, besides the browser alike column view, two different views of the users file structure–Icon and List view.
Isn’t there something more? Aren’t todays users confronted with a lot of more files than in 1984? This article would like to suggest a refinement for the current list view implementation.
