[QUOTE="krs, post: 1811355, member: 67742"] Well..... I think the "Save As..." function that disappeared for a while was probably the most noticed one of the ones that disappeared. At one point one had to use the option key to bring it back and eventually it ended up in the "File" drop down again but it now works differently that it did before. The other function I miss a lot is the "Bounce" feature in Apple Mail. I know people argue that this didn't actually work, and yes, in specific cases it didn't, but for the ones it did it sure got my email spam down to one or two messages per week, now I'm back to a dozen a day. But you're right - most of the issues relate to change - a lot of unnecessary change and in my opinion poorly thought out by Apple. Take the 'tags' for instance - tags (or equivalent) used to highlight the complete row in the colour selected, now all it does is place a dot at the very right of the name field. I use a wide screen monitor and a very wide name field to accomodate the full name if it happens to be long. So if a tag is shown where the name in the name field is short, it's sometimes difficult to determine which file or folder name the tag lines up with. With the previous implementation that was not a problem. Apple should have at least kept the old way as an option - I don't see any reason why Apple changed that. The new implementation also has a bug - at least I consider that a bug. Don't know if it is fied in releases beyond ElCap. If you have a larger number of files tagged, say 30 or 40 sequentially, then to remove all those tags one cannot just use the shift key to select them all and click to delete them, one has to delete them in smaller chunks of 8 or 10 at a time. That was never a problem with the old implementation. There are dozens of these little bugs or quirks in ElCap that I eventually either found a work-around or am living with, I'm sure there are more with Sierra and High Sierra etc. I just don't want to go through that every year with every release.
