- tonyedgecombe 3mo agoIt appears some people having problems with Finder haven’t used it for ten years.
- hurril 3mo agoDo you have anything in particular in mind here? Long time macOS user but I like a good pro tip :)
- frizlab 3mo agoI don’t have much actually, but at least: - Batch rename files (select multiple files, right click, “Rename…”); - Show/hide hidden files: `shift-cmd-.`; - Go to folder: `shift-cmd-G`; - `cmd-1` to `cmd-4` to quickly change view.
- hurril 3mo agoAll four of these are awesome tips, thank you!
- jaffa2 3mo agoIs there any way to stop /prevent it enumerating tif files over the network ? When i open a directory of 400 30MB tif files it grinds to a halt while it thumbnails them all over the network. Its unusable.
- whimbyte 3mo agoJust pushed an update. There's now a setting in Preferences to disable icon previews on network volumes. You can also set which file extensions should be excluded, which I hope will fix the grinding. Grab the latest build from the site. Thanks for the catch.
- jaffa2 3mo agoahh i just saw this. I will try your software when i get a minute.
- frizlab 3mo agoAFAIK, yes. `cmd-J` -> Uncheck “Show icon preview” Hopefully it’s enough, but I haven’t tried.
