New: Compatibility with Finder 10.8.2 (which is included in OS X update 10.8.3) Implemented "Reopen Closed Tab" (idea). TotalFinder is a remarkably useful Finder extension for managing your folders and files more effectively. However, it does come with an uninstaller to make sure everything is removed if you don't want to keep it. TotalFinder buries itself deep into your operating system in order to integrate with Finder so you can't remove it properly by simply dragging it to the Trash. TotalFinder cleverly instructs Finder to hide them meaning that although they are still created, they'll never bother you again. I can assure you I won’t be leaving it any time soon.Another useful feature is the ability to get rid of pesky DS_Store files that litter your system. And just to note, I tried to go cold turkey once Mavericks was released. I removed Total Finder to see how long I could survive without it… I only lasted a week. Moving files and staying on top of everything became a lot easier. It was a life saver for me being a Web Developer / Designer. This is a must have for any heavy Mac user. Though I can see the benefit when using a single monitor. While this is a neat option, it’s something that I’ve tried to use but couldn’t work into my day to day operations. This of course depends on how you use your computer, you can have auto hide and appear using a key command. Another feature is the Visor functionality, which locks the Finder window to the bottom of the screen. A quick word for any web developers, you can view your HTML files while keeping track of the Media folder, simultaneously saving you a grip of time when building out larger sites. When you need to view files quickly and move things even faster, this is a life saver. We’ve already established the Tab Layout, but one of its core features is its ability to dual screen Finder windows, essentially laying out two folders in a side by side format. Total Finder brings it, with a couple of neat tricks up its sleeve. The rest of the design to Total Finder is similar to what you’ve come to expect from Finder. OSX Maverick added Tabs but the titles of each tab would show up below the toolbar which felt cluttering, while Total Finder moves the tab names to above the toolbar, making it easier to keep track of the folder that you are working in. What makes Total Finder unique is its layout. To break down Finder for any Mac newbs, it’s like Windows Explorer for files and such. However, it does change things, that’s how you use Finder. Now with Total Finder there isn’t to much to talk about with design as it uses the overall stylings of the OSX Finder software. So how does Total Finder compare to Apple’s version? How much time can be saved with this program? So popular that Apple included tabbed windows in the latest build of Mac OS X Mavericks. While there are many additional features, Total Finder offers tabbed finder windows. That was when I was introduced to Total Finder. It was how Finder operated, which was largely based around the dragging and dropping of files, but you always had to have multiple windows open to do so. From that moment, I’ve been using the Mac OS X, and while I’ve always found it to be my operating system of choice, it felt like there was something missing. While my Compaq Presario had served me well, I made a pit stop at the Apple store to make a pretty expensive purchase. It was time to go to art school, and I was in need of a computer on the go.
