    File open/save box no longer includes date modified

    I'm still getting used to Mac Big Sur after the jump from High Sierra. I cannot figure out why the Save As . . . , Open, etc interfaces don't/won't show the "Date Modified" column (Only Name, Size, Kind, Date Added). I NEVER care about "Date Added", but I do often want to check the name of or...

    Thinking about downgrading to original Big Sur OS because new update is causing problems....

    I have had some random problems with Big Sur since 11.3 (ex. photo screensaver doesn't work anymore, much slower & the 'beach ball' is showing up all the time, etc.) I assume anything that I have added to my Mac since then will be gone? I have a Time Machine backup but wasn't sure if I could...

    macOS Big Sur is erasing keywords as soon as I type them....

    I recently upgraded to Big Sur from Mojave on my late 2014 iMac and whenever I try to type in a keyword to add it makes it disappear as soon as I type it. Is anyone else having this problem? When I try to type in a caption for the photo that works most of the time, but keywords don't.
