Macos – How to duplicate current open Finder view in new tab (Mavericks)

most similar thing:

1. go up one level
2. CMD + double-click the folder

I remember doing this before on SL. I haven't tested this yet on Lion.

• First, recursively delete all .DS_Store files. These files contains per-folder settings. According to this guide from Adobe:

1. Select Applications > Utilities to launch Terminal.

2. Enter the following UNIX command:

   sudo find / -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} \;

3. When prompted for a password enter your Mac OS X Administrator password.

• Restart

• Now you have one of two options:

  1. In Terminal type: defaults write com.apple.Finder FXPreferredViewStyle Nlsv (The four letter codes for the view modes are icnv, Nlsv, clmv and Flwv.)

  2. Open the finder windows and cmd J to open view pref. Change the setting to Always open in list view and then use as default button at the bottom
