With a simple Automator service and by a quick tweak in System Settings, I was able to replicate the functionality flawlessly.ģ. One of the things I missed the most was the ability to launch and hide Finder with a quick keyboard shortcut.īeing the eternal geek, I sought out a solution. Sure, I can go through a few settings and hide Finder, but it has other implications, mainly how I see icons on my desktop, but I digress. I’m still getting used to having another app in my dock. I’m really digging PathFinder’s shelves, too. Tab set profiles? Yes, please! I also have a set way I like certain folder structures presented. I’m mad for tabs as shortcuts to my files. I will say that I needed dual browser windows, a quick method of moving and copying files, the ability to rename easily, and tabs. I won’t go into all the wonderful things PathFinder can do, because if you do a Google search you’ll find loads of great blog posts and videos on the app that go into far more detail. After watching a few videos, I think I’ll find that PathFinder is one of those can’t-live-without apps. Where TotalFinder was easy and simple, PathFinder takes a little getting used to because it is super rich in features. That said, I did some homework and chose CocoaTech’s PathFinder.
I could make do with Apple’s own Finder, but I find it lacks some functionality I need. True, I could bypass System Integrity, but I chose not to. Parts of the app will run while others won’t. Why? El Capitan’s System Integrity Protection feature prevents TotalFinder from augmenting Finder. So ’tis a sad, sad day when I have to say goodbye to one of the most useful apps I’ve ever used. If I had to choose only a handful of apps to use on my Mac, TotalFinder would be on that list. For years, I’ve been a huge fan of TotalFinder, a Finder enhancement application.
