#KDE #Dolphin's new location bar (in version 24.12.3), while I'm sure it looks neat and is an improvement to some - looks a bit like a regression to me. I much prefer the minimal look of the previous version, and think the new one looks unnecessarily distracting and cluttered, especially when it's a really long path. I expected there to be a setting that could revert this but I couldn't find it and honestly, fair enough since people have been asking KDE to reduce the number of settings instead of adding more.
I think it might look nicer, if not reverted entirely, for the design of the two to be "merged" together - whereby, remove that "text input" space look when it's not atm a text input, and instead of segmenting them into "boxes", just have the icon + text be a part of the window and separate them with the much more minimal arrows as they were before. I think this is also how #macOS sort of does it too with their location paths/bar at the bottom of #Finder (just, in this case, have it on top as it is now).
Does anyone know which Finder bug / feature I’ve managed to invoke here?
I accidentally dragged from the far right hand side of the screen and apparently found a secret window.
#MacOS #Finder alternatives. Because it really, really sucks. Why aren’t there any file managers with a persistent tree like you see in Windows? Is it really that difficult to do? It makes dragging files and folders to a destination incredibly intuitive.

Wow - I had never heard of the "HFS pixel" in the Macintosh Finder before now. Is this common knowledge?

Searching on #macOS's #Finder is so dogshit slow, it's pretty much unusable. On #Linux on the other hand, specifically #KDE's #Dolphin is incredibly fast in comparison - esp if ure just filtering which is pretty much instantaneous. I'm being met with rainbow vomit every few secs, while just trying to find folders or files with certain names within a directory. My M1 Mac is genuinely hindered by being stuck on macOS.

Franchement avec le #finder sur #mac je me demande si on est pas à la limite de l' #abandonware...
Sur certains points il est tellement à la ramasse...
J'essaie de regarder la preview d'une image sur une carte SD et il mouline pendant 5 minutes... Mon derawtiseur le fait en 3.secondes.
Vous utilisez des alternatives ? En gestionnaire de fichiers ou en visionneuse d'images ? Ou les 2 :)
J'en ai testé pleins mais pas trouvé la perle rare. Solutions #libre de préférence ;)
@veit @holgi @delta okay, das macht @delta / #deltaChat sogar besser als #Finder, weil letzteres nutzt unverschlüsselte #SMS und braucht daher neben konfigurierter allow-list (anfällig für betreiberseitiges Spoofing) auch konfigurierte Kommandos sowie ne #SIM mir #Rufnummer statt einfach Schmalband-#Datentarif!
Take a look at these two videos. In both videos, we start with an apparently identical state: a folder selected (Animal) in a Finder window. In both cases, I press the letter `C` on the keyboard. Note that in the first video, the highlight moves to a peer folder (Cars), but in the second video, the highlight moves to a file within the selected folder (cat.txt).
This difference in behavior is caused by what I did *before* I got into this state. In the first case, I navigated to the `Animals` folder from its parent folder using the arrow keys, while in the second case, I clicked on the `Animals` folder with my pointer.
Note that both actions lead to an *identical* visual depiction. There is no way a user can predict which of these two paths will occur when they press a key on the keyboard. This is counterintuitive and breaks UX expectation.

Today I learned that I can type `open -a recents` on a macOS terminal to show a Finder window with the most recently used files.
This is particularly useful to find that screenshot you took from the command line.
ps. This is more a re-discovery. When typing Recents in Spotlight Recents.app appears… which is just an utility application to launch the Recents window in the Finder. So it is just reasonable that `open -a recents` behaved as described above.

@stroughtonsmith #Apple is between a rock and hard place. My recommendation is to offer a modal approach. Default is the #iPad simplicity, but for those who need the power of the #macOS desktop is to include the #Finder as an app you launch when you need the flexibility to use desktop apps, multiple monitors, powerful file management. When you are done, swipe out or swipe back to the home screen. Its there if you need it.
I love how on #macOS when you intend to move a bunch of files to a folder, and when one file with the same name already exists in the destination, you're only given the option to stop the entire thing, to replace the existing file, or move anyway under a different name. Not a single option that just... idk... skip moving that one (or however many affected) file maybe? The best thing is, that stop option, the dialog that asks you gives you a checkmark option to "Apply to all" (unchecked by default) - bcos of this, a user unfamiliar with #Finder's brilliance might assume that "stop" simply means "skip" commonly found on other OS-es including #Windows and #Linux for file operations such as moving/copying, 'cept not, "stop" literally just stops doing anything.
Oh, also, you can't even enjoy what you have found to be so common such as doing a shift-click selection on Finder... unless you happen to be in the right "view" mode. That simple thing couldn't even just... work. I honestly can go on and on about how slow that piece of shit is at performing searches or copying/moving files, or how modifying all the ridiculous preferences take forever bcos they hide in multiple, nonsensical places when on #Dolphin for example, you get one nice menu with sensible tabs and options where you could do wtv needs doing in ~1 minute. Heck, even setting the default app to be used to open a certain file type requires a hidden shortcut that then opens up a stupid looking window at the edge of your screen with tiny af buttons and GOSH I CAN GO ON FOREVER.
Fuck Finder, honestly. I'd take that ugly ass #FileExplorer anyday of the week if it means I don't have to deal with Finder. Thank god I'm a Linux user, blessed with #KDE's Dolphin. I'm almost certain #Apple only hires interns for anything software over there.
Update: Found a fix! Just use the terminal <3
As I'm setting up my new Mac, I realise I'm missing a lot of my fav #KDE apps that I didn't even know I relied on quite a bit - things like #Filelight or even as basic as #Kate. Heck even using #Finder was ridiculously miserable since while it doesn't look much different than #Dolphin, it's at least 10x more inferior in EVERY way.
KDE has always insisted on making their apps available across platforms (besides just #Linux) in order to promote their visibility to non-Linux users, and that strategy definitely works bcos that's how I ended up using something like #KDEConnect and part of why I made the switch (to Linux), but unfortunately that "universal" compatibility never seems to include #macOS. Fair enough though, as shitty as #Windows is, that's where people are.
