Hmm.. thanks. I just thought of a quartz effect for this. What if the folder flapped open when you double-clicked it, spitting its contents out genie-style into a new window? The folder in the background would remain visible, but with an open flap. Then, closing the window would suck the contents back into its host folder, and close the flap.
Ah, sounds more like a Longhorn animation, I guess...
Jaguar already does this. have you noticed how when you double click an icon, a window scales out of it?
Hold down the Shift key while double-clicking a folder and you will see that folder's window scale up from the icon in slow motion. I can't phase it any better than that.
Very simple. No tricks. No "Apple key". No "both Shift keys". I have no idea what these other people are doing...
..... you need the apple and shift keys depressed to see the window open in slow motion... the shift key by itself is used as a modifier key to allow you to select more then one file at a time...
the 2 shift key suggestion by kickaha is bogus (aparantly...)
While playing with panther I discovered a few things I haven't seen mentioned before so I thought I'd post some screenshots! :-)
When viewing an email you can turn off HTML image loading, but in Panther it gives you an option to load the images. Very handy as I keep images turned off to avoid spam bait, but it's inconvenient when a message you want to read comes in.
Another thing I discovered is Panther may support ssh/sftp in the new Finder. Although I could make it work, check out the text below.
It says to login remotely use ssh OR browse for Panther (my machines name) in the Finder. It'd be great if it worked. But so far it hasn't, at least for me.
Next up is built in conflict detection when adding vCards in Address book.
And finally, just to keep things in perspective here's a screenshot from the JAGUAR WWDC beta from 2002. :-) I was a new Mac user then, it's funny reading the iChat I was having. lol. Notice how different iChat looked? Here's to hoping that we'll see some significant changes to Panther in the coming months.

Nooo... Allow me to fully beat this horse's corpse to dust...
Only Shift is required to be held down while double-clicking a folder to see it open in slowmotion. BUT: it must first already be selected. Sorry for the confusion. Only Shift. One Shift key. Either shift key. And not any other key.
That Shift is the key used to select multiple files is irrelevant.
Apple key has nothing to do with slow motion.
For real fun, select multiple folders on the desktop (using Shift if you like) and double-click any one of the selected folders while holding Shift down. You will then see multiple folder windows scale up from their icons.
Yes, the 2 shift thing is bogus.
I really can't make it any simpler folks.
Good luck with other people's misinformation
Glad this post is about something trivial and not say, safe ways to use rm....
well i don't know what to tell you but it ONLY works for me if I hold the apple key down... must have a hack installed that interferes or something... :shrugs:
In Mac OS X, there is a Finder preference "Always open folders in a new window". If that is selected, you don't need command. If it is not, then you do need command.
The command key is used to open a folder in a new window if the default behavior is to open in the same window.
If you're going to unzip and pull it out, make damn sure you know what you're talking about, okay?

Sure, and Shift-double-click the folder to see it scale up in slow motion...
Leave it to Steve Jobs to put in a keyboard command to slow things down, rather than speed things up

Hold down both shift keys, and it speeds up.
Is this a practical joke? Seriously, there is NO WAY I can reach both shift keys with one hand!
I can see it now, Kickaha L-his-OA at the though of all those AI readers trying to depress both shift keys at once.

um... that doesn't work... you can't shift double click anything... holding shift when you close the window however... that is a different story...
the 2 shift keys don't work here tho, they function as if you are just holding down one...
someone is playing a game here...
...keep trying and let us know how it turns out.

Useless trick? Sure.

Command is needed to open a folder in a seperate window from column view too.

still doesn't explain why I need the command key for it to work tho...

Oh shush. You're ruining my evil fun.

Because Steve Jobs personally hates you.
