For one thing, it is extremely slow. Every time open file meny appears, or need to search for something, prepare to wait 15-30 seconds. File management is a pain, renaming, viewing properties, etc are likely the worst of all file managers I've ever seen. Nautilus is so much better (but it changed for the worse since 2008, too).
(I'd prefer a Far Manager version for linux / iOS to manage files, but I have accepted that this will never happen, unfortunately)
- sbuk 6y agoHow is renaming poor? You can batch rename and a simple click on the file name allows for renaming. Last time I used Nautilus, you still had to activate file renaming with a keypress or from a menu and that had to be done in a moat window. Viewing properties in Finder is easily done with cmd-i or viewable in column mode.
- Andrew_nenakhov 6y ago> You can batch rename and a simple click on the file name allows for renaming. Exactly! So every time I double-click a bit slower than macOS wants me to, it enters the renaming mode. I rarely need to rename files, and since the name should be entered via keyboard anyway, a special hotkey makes way more sense. Also, not showing file extensions by default is a big problem. And it is generally EXTREMELY SLOW, I shrug every time I have to launch the damn thing.
- sbuk 6y agoPersonally, I find that counter-intuitive in a WIMP UI. If it keeps happening, you can change your double-click speed in System Preferences - shortcut key is Enter (which has been the shortcut since before Windows or Gnome/KDE existed). File extensions have always been hidden by default. Again, on a WIMP based UI, they're kind of superfluous. Finder is super snappy form me. Literally just launched it and it's there straight away. Obviously YMMV...
