Der kostenlose #Dateimanager #TheCommander für #macOS orientiert sich an klassischen Tools wie dem #NortonCommander und bietet eine effiziente Alternative zum #Finder. Statt eines einzelnen Fensters nutzt die Anwendung zwei nebeneinanderliegende Dateifenster, die das direkte Kopieren und Verschieben von Dateien zwischen Ordnern, Laufwerken oder Servern ermöglichen.

A somewhat unusual "Macintosh" for this year's MARCHintosh offering...
Here is my Atari 520ST running Spectre, a Macintosh emulator (or translator, perhaps more accurately) which features actual Macintosh Plus ROMs (user must provide) and in 1989 (along with Magic Sac which preceded it in 1986) was "the only legal Macintosh clone." Gadgets by Small, who made the device, called it 20% faster than a Mac Plus, with a 30% larger screen size (640x400 on the ST monochrome display vs. 512x342 on the early Macs).
The Atari 520STm shown here features an 8MHz MC68000, has been expanded to 4MB RAM (up from 512K), features an HxC2001 floppy emulator, an ACSI2STM hard disk emulator, and dual Atari RGB and monochrome monitors, switchable with a Monitor Master switchbox. The 12-inch SM124 monitor showing Pinball Construction Set for Mac is nearly identical to the early Mac monochrome displays in terms of clarity, the distinctive bluish P4-class phosphor, and its overall "presence." It is a very nice display running at a rock-solid 71Hz.
(A similar series of devices, beginning with the A-Max, was released by ReadySoft for the Commodore Amiga in 1989, though I found the ST options more appealing, in large part due to the superb high-res, non-interlaced monochrome display the ST supported.)

Explainer: How does macOS recognise file types?

I wonder if macOS 26 Tahoe fixes the issue where if you leave a USB Flashing Format (UF2) microcontroller plugged in too long it totally fucks up the Finder...

I found kind of a gross yet workable hack-a-round.
Let's say I want to change directory to the folder containing 'k8s.py'. If I type:
cd
dirname <ctrl-t>k8s.pyGross only in that it requires a somewhat gnarly mix of scripted and interactive, and in my dreamworld I'd want this bound to a key like Alt-f or something the way Alt-c and Ctrl-t are now.
-
I have a question for the 'fzf' fuzzy finder wizards out there: A thing I want VERY often is not "Find me a folder with a name like" (Alt-c by default) or "File me a file named like" (Ctrl-t by default)
But instead I want "Find me the folder CONTAINING a file named like".
Anybody else ever get such a thing to work? I've been poring over the docs but have yet to find an answer.

@siracusa @caseyliss You know how #iCloud does that "if it's not downloaded to your #Mac, it has a cloud w/a down arrow on it in the #finder" thing...? And you have to click that manually to open the file?
How do I use command line to know when my script hits one of those so I can know what to do in order to DL it to process it? 🤷♂️ Lately a lot of new files are not downloading automatically - and yes, I have "Optimize Mac Storage" unchecked.

People often complain about the #Finder in #macOS. And as a Mac user, I can only agree. But at work, I use #Windows and the awful #Explorer.
Why can't they just incorporate #MidnightCommander with a platform depending look and feel?

If you use Apple Quicklook in the Finder to review your RAW files (pressing space bar) don't upgrade to macOS 15.4! It has broke for me. Seeing other reports online as well. Just get a black window unless you resize it and then the image appears

Say “Hello” to DeskMat, and “Goodbye” to your messy Desktop.
https://blog.eternalstorms.at/2025/03/13/hello-deskmat-for-mac/
Hide your Desktop icons manually, or automatically when specific apps are running or come to the foreground. Perfect for clean streams, screen sharing, and distraction-free work.
Now available for purchase on my website, and soon on the Mac App Store, too!

Wow - I had never heard of the "HFS pixel" in the Macintosh Finder before now. Is this common knowledge?
From a post by @rezmason, mentioned in my feed by @splorp.
From page 66 of "Encyclopedia Macintosh" (1990)

Today I learned how to create a Finder alias using AppleScript and the command line:
```bash
$ osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to make alias file to posix file "/opt/homebrew/opt/emacs-plus@29/Emacs.app" at posix file "/Applications" with properties {name:"Emacs.app"}'alias file Emacs.app of folder Applications of startup disk
```This is for the particular case of creating an Emacs.app named alias at the Applications folder for the Homebrew version of the `emacs-plus` package, but changing the paths above will allow you to create arbitrary Finder aliases from the command line.

Oh my <overlord of choice>…
"There is also an unfortunate #bug that is not fixed to this day that result in an excessive creation of .DS_Store file. Those files should only be created if the user actually makes adjustments to the […] folder. That’s unfortunately not what happens and visiting a folder pretty much guarantees that a .DS_Store file will get created"

Not sure when it happened, but opening a finder window today felt kinda unfamiliar, as I transitioned to shell, nerdtree and vifm, full time. Strange Realisation.

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. -
How is this whole situation acceptable???!
I can't tell how much space I've used, or have available; I can't tell how much overhead I need…
#Finder, Get Info, #DiskUtility, and #DaisyDisk **all** give me different numbers for how much space I'm using and/or have available…
What a GD clusterfuck. I thought #APFS was supposed to be an improvement…?

Couple years ago I recreated Classic Mac OS progress and indeterminate progress bars with Core Animation. I really need to find a project to use them in! 😁
Also, the barber pole style indeterminate progress bars were just sooooo “Macintosh.”
I hope everyone has a great day except the person who decided to remove them from modern macOS. Ugh.

We used to be a proper functioning society…
Look at how the window resizing also dynamically resizes the Source List’s row items. 🥹😍
Look at the gorgeous source list icons with color and detail…
We used to have it all…

Once again, TFW #macOS #DiskUtility tells you you cannot eject a disk because it is “currently in use”, even though NOT A SINGLE ONE OF ITS APFS VOLUMES IS CURRENTLY MOUNTED in the #Finder.
The only place where it might be “in use” is in… Disk Utility itself.
Or maybe you are just not supposed to click on that Eject button next to the disk itself. Which begs the question: What is that button for?
Oh well, I give up trying to understand this. I am unplugging the device!

Just saw this retrospective on #Apple A/UX go by on #reddit: http://basalgangster.macgui.com/RetroMacComputing/The_Long_View/Entries/2010/9/25_A_UX.html
I used A/UX a little bit in the early 90s. Actually, it was the first #Unix I ever used. It was really neat. I always thought #MacOSX should have added something like "Commando" when launching a #CLI app from #Finder.
I bought a #Quadra 800 a few years ago with the idea of installing A/UX. I... should get around to that one of these days.
