Quillz Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I hope Finder animations come back in a later build... It's one of the things I like about Snow Leopard. Also, does 0.7 now support spring-loaded tabs so I can actually move files between tabbed Finder windows, like I can with Path Finder or ForkLift?

Unrealistic Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 I believe the animations are back, but still no dragging between tabs. I'm a little behind this time. Quote Version 0.7.1released on February 10, 2010 NEW Added options to restart Finder and uninstall TotalFinder into status menu item. FIXED Fixed .DS_Store related crash. FIXED Fixed crash when TotalFinder was trying to return focus to app which ceased to exist during Visor session. FIXED Fixed rare crash during Visor window sliding. FIXED Fixed crash related to external apple events. FIXED Fixed visual glitches when hiding toolbar or changing its type. FIXED Bottom PathBar works again. FIXED Visor window in freeform mode is resizable again. FIXED Screen selector works again in Visor Preferences. IMPROVED Tab opening and closing animations are smooth again. IMPROVED Don't close existing windows on start, but adopt them as tabs. IMPROVED Visor window respects the Dock. IMPROVED Visor window shows reliably on top of the Dock when "Show on Dock level" is enabled. IMPROVED Better Visor sliding. Works fading and also solved stuck Visor window under the Dock.

Quillz Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I really hope tab-to-tab dragging comes soon. I mean, that's pretty much the main reason I'm even interested in this one. It would essentially give me the functionality of Path Finder/ForkLift but without the third-party requirement. For me, the perfect Finder replacement would be if ForkLift could just completely replace Finder altogether.

Honestly, I just wish Apple would by out the developers of ForkLift and/or Path Finder and call either one of those the new Finder. TotalFinder has the advantage of not requiring another application, but development is far behind ForkLift, which has spring-loaded tabs, a dual-pane interface, a built-in uninstaller, FTP, etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/866194-total-finder-v-095/page/2/#findComment-592290594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 IMO both PathFinder and Forklift have a pretty horrible interface compared to the Finder. It's my belief that 99% of the users out there simply don't have the need for the advanced options the applications offer. Beyond an AppZapper-like solution (or manage prefs and such like the iPhone does) and maybe tabs I have no need for it either. Also, why would Apple need to buy them out? They're more than capable of bringing those features to the Finder themselves if they wanted to.

I know they could, and they probably will bring some improvements to the Finder in the future, it's just that they have a history of often buying out developers and then integrating their products into the OS. Back in the early 90s, they bought off some Berkeley software developers who were working on a product that ultimately became System 6's MultiFinder. And then several years ago, they bought out the developers of CoverStream, which later became Cover Flow.

Lilrich Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I tried this out on my mac before i had to re-install and came across alot of problems with the finder becoming un-responsive and having to kill it via the terminal. While this is still in Alpha i think i will keep it away from my production machine. However this is a brilliant app with LOADS of potential, def one to keep your eye on. You never know it might get swollowed up by Apple like Jonathan del Strother of Coverflow did.

Quillz Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I just noticed earlier today it doesn't work at all with Time Machine's interface. You'll have to access your Time Machine drive via the boring old Finder interface.

When it comes out of beta, there seems to be every indication that it will no longer be free. Quote Version 0.8.1 released on March 11, 2010 FIXED Fixed desktop quirks because desktop window was originally treated the same way as classic windows by TotalFinder overrides. For example this fixed desktop problems after switching resolution or changing number of displays. (issue and issue) FIXED Fixed crash when saved windows state referenced no longer existing paths. FIXED Fixed crash when closing browser and some tabs might have pending animation requests. FIXED Fixed crash when browser window was destroyed before controller got deallocated. FIXED Clicking might have offset or window might jump because of incorrect coordinates transformation (commit) . Here is some info on what he may charge, whenever he does decide to charge http://getsatisfacti..._totalfinder_be Quote First I'm going to build a great product then I'll try to think about making money of it. Personally I would think $15 is a fair price. Because I would probably get $10 into my pocket after taxes and merchant fees. But did no research on it yet. As of licensing I'd like to use dual license: 1) per-user = use it on as many machines you want while you are the only user using this license of TotalFinder 2) per-machine = use it on one machine, unlimited number of users I just found this, and it actually seems somewhat fair. I'm sure I will buy it once it comes out, so long as he keeps it updated if/when an Apple update breaks the functionality.
