![]() ![]() TotalFinder re-enables color sidebar icons – Yipee! This has cost me lost of time when hunting for particular folders that I place there and used custom color icons to help me find them. I can’t remember when we lost this but a few years ago we lost color icons in the sidebar of the Finder. To open TotalFinder preferences simply type Command-comma while in the Finder They also have an option to set the minimum and maximum widths, just in case you have some super long files that bogart your screen space □ I primarily use column view and I always need to resize the column so I can see the full file name. This is a feature I’ve googled trying to find someone who has found a way to hack the Finder into doing this seemingly obvious need that computers are made to do. The features I LOVE: Automatically adjust widths in Column View ![]() Secondly I’ll say that this isn’t going to be a review or description of all the features of TotalFinder, but just feedback on the ones I’ve used. I ran across TotalFinder and noticed they give f ree licenses to bloggers for reviewing their product so I applied and received a free license, so here’s my take… Review of TotalFinder–a Replacement Finder For Mac OS Xįirst of all I guess I should say that TotalFinder isn’t a “replacement Finder” but it overlays itself over the existing Finder. I was curious to read why they would write that article given the improvements that were made in the recent release of Mavericks OS 10.9 (tabbed browsing, tags…). I ran across an article entitled “ Why a Finder Replacement is Still a Good Idea” on the tuts+ website while I was looking for solutions to why the Mavericks’ Finder lags so much for me when I create new Tags. ![]() Is there a way to move the fuzzy slider and have it display on the screen everything it has found as you move the slider so you can set the fuzzy level to just the right level? Maybe something in the menu that is a check for “Active Fuzzy Image Display” when the display box is checked.Review of TotalFinder-a Replacement Finder For Mac OS X Changed it to front window and Window with index of 1 but still no luck have the time. I have moved the slider all over the place to see if I can get it to work. Even when I run it on the same Finder window I took it on Keyboard Maestro doesn’t find the image. Strange thing is this macro only works ocationally I can’t seem to get a consistent screenshot. It is like it has a limit to how wide it will go. So this may not actually solve the original problem.įor me what broke is it does resize all the columns in El Capitan but it still truncates some of the longer file names. In all sincerity thanks Keyboard Maestro and this forum for again helping people enhance their workflow, I love you!Īs far as I can see, option-double-clicking on column the separators no longer resizes all columns, it only resizes one column to fit. Now if there were only some app that let you drag folders into other folders and keep coping and nesting folders and files like Windows has done for 15+ years instead of giving you the option to replace like Mac does. "Show colorful icons on the sidebar" is wonderful to have back again after all these years! I can actually tell what is what again much faster. I understand why they got rid of it when they added multiple colors as part of tags, Xtra Finder is smart and just colors it the last color or tag color in your list if you have multiple. Thanks for pointing that out I wouldn't have found that if you hadn't mentioned it, I had to reread multiple times to find even when you did point it out, it is named "Legacy label color painting". The two things I love it for are the aforementioned column resizing and the ability to color color file names by tag, rather than just display the colored dot. ![]()
