Hi, I'm not sure if this is supposed to be common knowledge, but what do the icons on the left side of the Status Bar in Finder windows mean? Thanks.

The "grouped folders" means the folder is sorted by name/kind/date, etc.

The pen with the slash through it means the folder is unwritable.

The trashcan obviously means that you have the Trash open.


Are there any others?

I think they reflect your icon placement preferences (im on PC at the moment, so I cant be sure).

Yeah, I'm pretty sure those are all of the ones I've seen. So how come when I have a folder arranged by either name, date, etc., it still doesn't show the "grouped folders" icon?

Hi, just wondering if someone can answer the previous question.

Also, I have another icon to add to the list (it's meaning is self-explanatory): a CD/DVD icon.
