What is WithAView?

WithAView is an INIT for use with system 6.0.x that adds the same functionality (and a little more) for easy changing of the view mode as that found in system 7. Just as with system 7, you can change the view in a Finder window by clicking on the appropriate portion of the window. In other words, clicking on any one of Name, Size, Kind or Date Modified will cause the window’s view to change to that mode. Moreover, clicking to the left of Name will cause the view to change to by Icon. If the window is being viewed by icon, then clicking in any part of the top portion of the window (say on item, for example) will cause the view to switch back to by Name.

One nice feature of System 7 (or System 6 with the WithAView INIT) is being able to change the view of a Finder window to by ‘name,’ ‘size,’ ‘kind,’ or ‘modified’ simply by clicking on the appropriate part of the Finder window. Unfortunately there is no capability under System 7 to change to a view by ‘icon’ or from a view by ‘icon’ to a view by ‘name.’

WithAView7 is an extension for use with System 7 that allows the user to change the view in a Finder window from ‘by icon’ to ‘by name’ by clicking in an appropriate part of the window. The user can also switch to view ‘by icon’ or ‘by small icon’ by clicking in the appropriate part of a Finder window while holding down the option key.
