Finder is so bad that I had to buy a license of ForkLift 3. Finder is easily the worst default program included in OS X.
Windows Explorer isn't perfect, but at least with that you can ALWAYS see where you are (and open the location of chosen file). You can cut/copy/paste easily with mouse right click. You can create new files with right click.
- Wowfunhappy 7y ago> at least with that you can ALWAYS see where you are Have you tried enabling the path bar in Finder? View → Show Path Bar. > You can cut/copy/paste easily with mouse right click. Finder lets you copy and paste with a right mouse click. You can't cut, which is occasionally annoying, although I understand why. > You can create new files with right click. Ah, but you can add that to Finder! Make an automator service that will run the touch command in the front Finder window. It will appear in the right click menu. Or download the one I already made: https://github.com/Wowfunhappy/Automator-Quick-Actions/blob/master/New%20Text%20Document.workflow.zip https://github.com/Wowfunhappy/Automator-Quick-Actions/blob/... I love Automator services! They provide a built-in, native way to add your own functionality to existing Mac apps.
- kitsunesoba 7y agoWhile you can’t cut, you CAN move via keyboard shortcuts. Just copy the file in question (⌘C), navigate to your desired destination, and move-paste (⌘-Option-V). You can see this shortcut by opening the Edit menu with something on the clipboard while holding down Option.
