At Home with John and Debbie

While my hosting people beaver away fixing my database issue (not paying for backups, and not bothering to take my own, I won’t be surprised if all comments get lost), [Update: look, they fixed it with no losses. Hooray.] let’s take our minds off things by watching how Apple lies to you.

Here: Making ZIP Files (Compressed Files) in One Click

That’s a “pro tip”, apparently.

To create a compressed file, either Control-click on the file and choose Create Archive.

That’s TWO CLICKS! Three if you count pressing Control as a “click” (although people with the sense to buy a mouse with more than one button can right-click instead).

Or you can click on a file, then go to the Action menu (the button that looks like a gear up in the Finder window’s toolbar), and choose Create Archive from there.

That’s THREE CLICKS!

OK, you can do the first method as a click-drag-release, which at a push you could call “one click”, but who does that in this day and age?
