Use Color Labels

Task #17

Difficulty Level 1

Labels offer a set of colors that you can attach to a file or folder to denote your own form of colorized organization. Suppose, for example, that you would like to sort files in a particular folder based on how important they are. Your Mac does not know how important one file is over another. By using labels, you can assign a scale of importance to your files. After you have assigned an importance to each of the files, it is straightforward to sort them by that importance.

Did You Know?

For years, Macintosh users were accustomed to sorting their files in the Finder by name, date, type, and label. Then, one day labels died. Mac OS X 10.0 through 10.2 lacked the label feature. Panther reintroduces labels in a new-and-improved form.
