When you need to save a file with a name that is close to a name you already have in that folder, just click on one of the grayed-out file names in the folder and that name will appear in the Save as… box. So now you need only a minor adjustment to complete the new name. Works in any program AFAIK.

    FWIW, I found this cool tip does not work if you have Default Folder X 4.0 installed. I’ve written to the developer in the hopes it’ll be fixed.

    Josh, Default Folder X adds an option to only enable this feature when you hold down a modifier key such as command, shift, or option. By default, it requires that you option-click on the name to copy it. You can change this in your Default Folder X settings.

    this works in 10.4 too. It may well have worked in older versions of OS X, but I can’t remember.

    I have been browsing on-line more than three hours today, yet I never found any fascinating article like yours. It’s lovely value sufficient for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the web might be a lot more useful than ever before.
