[comp.sys.mac.system] Double-clicking in title bar

dave@PRC.Unisys.COM (David Lee Matuszek) (05/09/90)

Dumb question time.

A few weeks ago I downloaded something that made double clicks in the
title bar of a finder window work.

This is a lot easier to do than to explain, but....suppose window X
contains folder Y.  You double click on folder Y to open window Y.
Now double-clicking on the title bar of Y brings window X to the top
(or opens it if it's closed).  (This sounds more confusing than it
is.)

OK, now for the dumb question.  I've gotten hooked on this feature.
This past weekend I had a problem and I replaced my System and Finder.
This feature went away.  I CAN'T REMEMBER what software I used to
enable it!  I thought it was Boomerang, but I can't seem to find that
feature in Boomerang anywhere....

Jeez, I feel like a bozo.  But I want that feature back!  Who can tell
me where to find it?

Many thanks to all who responded--there are too many of you to thank
each of you personally.  And thanks for mailing your responses instead
of flooding the internet.

In case anyone but me doesn't know how to do this, the answers are:

1)  Real Programmers use ResEdit to edit the Finder's LAYO resource to
    turn on the Title Bar Click option.

2)  The rest of us use Layout 1.9 to set this option, as well as
    individualizing numerous other options in the desktop layout.

Again, many thanks.  This is a great option, and I don't know why the
default setting is off.  Anyone who hasn't already turned this option
on should try it.
