I checked out the link <a href="https://www.lifewire.com/set-finder-...olders-2260912" target="_blank">https://www.lifewire.com/set-finder-...olders-2260912</a> and followed the instructions for using automator to set the view options for all the subfolders in my pictures folder. The directions were straightforward. Then I clicked on “run” and it ran.Then I got an error message saying it couldn’t complete the task. It included na error number. As I was writing it all down, so I could share it here, I was suddenly told the finder just quit. I tried to relaunch the finder. No good. I tried to restart the computer. No good. I tried to shut down the computer. No good. I finally had to hold down the power button until the computer turned off. Then I restarted. Then I ran Onyx figuring some cleanup was needed after all that. Doing the extensions proceeded normally. But Onyx took much longer to do the cleaning tasks — especially with the system cleaning — than I have seen before. I do not know what to make of all that. I have had this computer for three weeks. In that time, I had to get Apple.com to re-install the system, and they upgraded it from yosemite to el capitan. I then had to do a re-install of el capitan. And now this.</blockquote>
