The most ridiculous missing feature is there’s no refresh button for the current folder. Sometimes to show new files created by an external process I have to relaunch the whole finder process just to have my files appear as it caches the stale view
- kitsunesoba 4y agoThat's a gripe I share, but I run into it so infrequently that it's not much of a bother. Most likely when browsing network shares and such, which I tend to use something like Transmit or Forklift for instead.
- dwaite 4y agoFinder should show changes immediately except on certain external filesystems. It gets kernel events on directory and file changes (the same mechanism Spotlight and Time Machine use). This bites me on fake FAT filesystems over USB for hardware development kits, and I usually just turn those features off. The heuristics there are often terrible, and I'd rather create a build system that writes a new image, instead of doing manual drag-and-drops.
