Get Info: Select an item in the Finder and choose Get Info and you’ll learn many details about that item-its name, when it was last modified, the kind of file it is, its size, where it’s located on your computer, when it was created, and much, much more. Select a file and choose Open and the application related to that file will open and display the file’s contents. If you highlight a folder or volume (your hard drive or a disk image, for example) and choose Open, the folder will open into a window and reveal the folder’s contents. It largely serves the same purpose as selecting an item and double-clicking. Open: The Open command, along with the next few commands, appears in gray until you select something. When the time comes to do the actual recording insert a blank disc and select the Burn command (which we’ll visit shortly) to start the process.
Into this folder place any items that you eventually want to record to a writeable CD or DVD. This command creates a special kind of folder. New Burn Folder: Those Macs that have built-in SuperDrives (media drives for playing DVDs and CDs) or have such drives attached to them externally can not only play those discs and read data from them, but can also record media and information to writeable CDs and DVDs.
We’ll discuss smart folders and other smart items in a future column.

For example, a smart folder might hold all movie files over a certain size or any files you’ve created in the last week. These are folders that contain items that match certain conditions.

New Smart Folder: Mountain Lion and the past several versions of the Mac OS support something called Smart Folders. Again, while the name is highlighted just type a new name and press Return. Do so and a New Folder With Items folder appears on the desktop, which contains those selected documents.
You could create a new folder and then fling those documents into that folder, or you could save a step by selecting the documents and then choosing this command. Suppose you have a few documents related to a particular project. New Folder With Selection: This is a recent addition but a cool one.
