Ratings and Reviews
Fixes a few of my biggest gripes, adds one
The gripe with this: still needs some stability improvements. Hangs every now and then, but quits and restarts easily.
My gripes with Finder it fixes:
1: Open a terminal at the folder I'm *in*. How freakin' hard is that? Apparently too hard for Apple's developers to fix in the last 20ish years.
2: Create a new file in the folder, not a new folder, but a new empty file.
These are the features from Windows File Manager I'd been DYING for. Yet Apple has spent so many years refusing to add them to Finder, I paid $8 for this just to get them.
Finally an escape from Apple's petty dominance games. I cannot explain Apple's behavior any other way than Tim Cook and Steve Jobs, had they not gone into tech, would have been Jr. High PE coaches taking out their control issues on kids.
Thoughtful app except search feature
Finder has faster and better search functionality. That's the only missing part. Other wise the app is great!
I like the app
I like the app, mainly for the file tree, hidden file toggle and blank file creation. It's a little slow occasionally when loading the contents of a large folder, but I haven't experienced anything that would cause me to stop using it. This would be great if it somehow replaced the finder in my dock. I basically have 2 finders right next to each other.
