#TOTALFINDER MAC#

I’m sure many users are asking similar question nowadays! Finder is not that bad and I had hopes for improvements in upcoming OS revisions. I wanted to shift my workflows more towards command-line anyway ģ. Many other apps simply expect Finder to be available and interact with it by default Ģ. At that time, I decided to stay with Finder mainly for three reasons:ġ. After switching to Mac, I realized I needed to make a bold choice: use a heavy-duty Finder replacement like PathFinder, ForkLift or DiskOrder, or learn to live with Finder and its shortcomings. My background is a Windows power user, and I used to use dual-panel file managers like Total Commander or Servant Salamander. Why did you decide to create TotalFinder? This makes it possible to ‘hack’, even without original source code. TotalFinder works only on Snow Leopard, because its Finder was silently rewritten into the Cocoa framework by Apple. TotalFinder is a plugin (SIMBL) which adds to Finder or extends its feature-set, such as by including Chrome-style tabs, Visor-like activation and Echelon, a system for preventing. What is TotalFinder? What does it do that Finder doesn’t?

This is how I learned about SIMBL hacking and the possibilities of modifying native apps during runtime. After that release, I got great responses from the community, adopted the project and have been continuing its development since then. In February 2009, I forked the Visor project by Blacktree and took time to fix some bugs.

I specialize mainly on tools for developers.
