Linelark Finder++
What shipped in 1.4.0.
The list columns
- Date Created, Date Last Opened, Date Added, Kind, Version, Comments, Tags, Shared By and Last Edited By join Name, Date Modified and Size. Right-click the header to show or hide them; every one sorts.
- Drag a header to reorder the columns (Name stays first), drag an edge to resize, or double-click an edge to fit that column to what it shows. Size All Columns to Fit does every shown column.
- Order, widths and which columns show are remembered per folder in its
.DS_Store, as Finder does; Use as Defaults sets them for folders Finder has not recorded. - Name is the flexible column: a remembered width can no longer push Date Modified and Size out of view.
Known limits in 1.4.0
- Items moved to the Trash with a password have no Undo and no Put Back, because putting one back would need the password again; only items on the same disk as your Trash are moved this way.
- A change made inside an opened folder by another app shows after the next reload (⌘R, or any file operation here); only the folder on screen is watched.
- Opening everything stops after 10,000 entries and never enters a link to a folder. Typing in the toolbar field looks inside the folders that are open, not the ones that are closed.
- In Recents and in search results the list is flat: there is no folder to open there.
- The Get Info window shows what was true when it opened; it does not update while the file changes, and the name, comment and default app cannot be edited from it — only Locked.
- In the terminal ⌃V always pastes, so a program that uses it itself (nano, vim in insert mode) no longer receives it.
- Drives and servers were tried against disk images and a local SMB share, not yet against a NAS, another computer or a physical external drive.
- Folder settings from Finder are read for the view mode, the sort and the list columns only; icon size and window position are not used. Date Last Opened is the file’s access time, not Spotlight’s, and Shared By and Last Edited By show only for items shared through iCloud; and a
.DS_Storethis app does not understand is left untouched. Writing is checked against copies of real files, not yet watched by Finder itself. - The app has not been checked with VoiceOver or Full Keyboard Access, and has not been run by hand on an Intel Mac or on macOS 14 itself; the automated tests do pass on macOS 14 and 15.
- Search results, Recents, Shared and the tags are queries, not folders: capped, read-only, and only as good as the Spotlight index behind them.
- It does not replace Finder and does not integrate with the system as a Finder substitute.
