Q: How can I check if I have full write access to my #NeoFinder database folder?

A: The NeoFinder Users Guide shows you how this can be done:

As #iCloud Drive is sometimes very unstable in macOS 14 and macOS 15, it can take a very long drive to #Catalog your complete startup disk "Macintosh HD" with #NeoFinder.

Another workaround for problems in macOS:

Check it out around 10:04.

And yes, Mac Geek Gab is always worth listening!

A distinctive feature of #NeoFinder is its ability to display the pixel size and the number of pages for CBR and CBZ comic book files cataloged on Windows using abeMeda.
Although NeoFinder itself is unable to catalog this metadata at this time, it does provide a visual representation of it, provided that it is present in the catalog.

Q: #NeoFinder is an absolute lifesaver and I love it. I can see free space one-by-one but what I would like to do is sort by the most free space. Is this possible?

A: You have several ways to do that, one of the coolest one is the Fill Bar:

Now that #Apple has officially announced the release of #macOS 15 "Sequoia" for September 16, 2024, we will of course begin with the complex certification process for NeoFinder!

You want to catalog NextCloud, ownCloud, Box, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Cloud, Google Drive, FTP, WebDAV with NeoFinder?

That is easy with the amazing Mountain Duck tool!

We have updated NeoFinder for it:

#NeoFinder 8.7 can catalog the full set of metadata and descriptions embedded in the amazing audio files of the free BBC Sound Effects Archive! Both in their MP3 and WAV audio files.

This includes the ID3 "TXXX" tags and an extended "bext" WAVE record.
And NeoFinder will not only display that data, you can of course search for it, too!

But yes, we have made #NeoFinder 8.7 Very Dark.

We really hope that #Apple starts to increase the stability and reliability of #macOS really soon now, as this is affecting a lot of people.

In the meantime, we are of course already running the latest betas of macOS 15 "Sequoia" for you, to see what we have to fix there.

Q: Can NeoFinder edit ID3 tags in audio files?

A: Not by itself, but you can use a tool like Mp3tags.app for that, and it is easy to reach directly from within #NeoFinder:

If you move a Catalog or a Catalog Folder into an Catalog Folder where such an item already exists, #NeoFinder now presents a duplicate items warning, and the option to overwrite, keep both, or ignore.

Use the "Save Copy as..." menu command in the View menu to copy files and folders directly from inside of #NeoFinder. This now works smoothly even with a very large number of selected files and folders!

We have added a new command to the contextual menu of a folder: "Export as Web Gallery."

This will allow you to quickly export a HTML web gallery of your photos inside that folder, based on the templates that #NeoFinder includes, or using your own custom template.

Tip of the day: Use Command-ArrowDown in LIBRARY when a folder inside a Catalog is selected, and NeoFinder will open the content of that folder in a new window!

Q: 1) I use to NeoFinder to catalog a petabyte of video storage that lives on 3 servers.
2) Using NeoFinder I can search for files with similar names. For Example “TARDIS”. Those files are on various mounts.
3) Can I use NeoFinder to copy all those files to a new location. (An external drive.)

A: Actually, yes, you can, either drag the files from NeoFinder to the desired destination folder, or use the "Save Copy as..." command in the Item menu.

Then sit back and relax. ;-)

In the process, we have generally improved the CSV reader code to handle a wider range of format variants.
