Chrome-styled tab (instead of Safari-styled) would be a plus.
Folders on top (when not sorting by kind) is a nice addition, but not a must.A way to quickly show and hide hidden files without leaving Finder.Auto-resize each column (one can already "Right Size All Columns Individually" through the right-click context menu from the column dividers - is it that hard or unreasonable to make that automatic?).Just provide the following and I'll be pretty happy: Now that I think about it, my expectations for Finder isn't very high. I had the hope that TotalFinder could die a peaceful, glorious death when Apple finally improved the stock Finder to a certain point I didn't quite expect TotalFinder to die an abrupt death like this. However, it still survived all the way up till Yosemite. Back in 2013, when Finder tabs was announced for Mavericks, there were hints from BinaryAge that TotalFinder might be discontinued one day, because apparently Finder tabs is a "serious hit for our business". This is actually not the first time I felt threatened as a TotalFinder fan 2. BinaryAge has announced that TotalFinder won't be ported to El Capitan. TotalFinder is dead on El Capitan: it has been monkey patching Finder.app all along, and that strategy apparently is killed by Rootless. usr/local) isn't affected, which attracted more of my attention. 1 Which stirred up my old worries about the Finder - I was briefly concerned about TotalFinder immediately after Rootless was announced in WWDC, but was quickly reassured and forgot that concern after learning that Homebrew (i.e. System Integrity Protection) at quite some length.
#XTRAFINDER YOSEMITE UPDATE#
I'll post an update if I find a way.I was listening to Accidental Tech Podcast E128 today, which discussed the implications of Rootless (i.e. I'm looking into ways for Arrange By sorting to honor the change made to Folders. The tags for other Arrange By sorts orders override the file tag changed in the steps above. To ensure the sort order by 'Kind' will show Folders first, make sure the default Arrange By order should be None. In my previous post on updating Finder.app for OS Mavericks, I added an addendum on a problem a small percentage users were having with the steps above. Now when you Finder.app to look at the same folder, the Folders will come first when you sort by Kind. Terminal may give you a warning prior to running the command. Open a Terminal and run the following command: sudo killall Finder.Save the changes to the “InfoPlist.strings” file.Locate the “Folder” entry in the “InfoPlist.strings” file and add a space to Folder string key.Note you may get a warning when you attempt to edit the Folder tag. Assuming you're using BBEdit, right click on the file and select BBEdit to edit the file.This is the file that contains the structure on how Finder.app sorts records. Locate the file “InfoPlist.strings” file.Once the package contents are opened, navigate to “Contents/Resources/English.lproj” folder.The package contents of the Finder.app will open like it was a folder and show additional folders and files that make up the Finder.app application.Once the folder is open, right click on the Finder.app file and click on ‘Show Package Contents’.Use Shift-Cmd-G in Finder.app and enter the path above. Open Finder and navigate to /System/Library/Coreservices folder and locate the Finder application.One of the common issues I've helped people with is fixing a corrupted file after trying to make the changes.

#XTRAFINDER YOSEMITE HOW TO#
Here's how to change Finder.app sort order in OS X Yosemite. 1 My brain has been, and will probably always will be, hardwired to see folders first and file second. As with all the previous released of OS X, I still think Apple has got their system file sorting wrong. Apple has released the OS X Yosemite to the general public.
