Most people having issues with the finder do not know half of what it can do; it’s interesting, really.

It appears some people having problems with Finder haven’t used it for ten years.
Is there any way to stop /prevent it enumerating tif files over the network ?
When i open a directory of 400 30MB tif files it grinds to a halt while it thumbnails them all over the network. Its unusable.
AFAIK, yes.
`cmd-J` -> Uncheck “Show icon preview”
Hopefully it’s enough, but I haven’t tried.
yeah but it's not configurable for local vs network as far as i can tell
Not AFAIK, no.
Just pushed an update. There's now a setting in Preferences to disable icon previews on network volumes. You can also set which file extensions should be excluded, which I hope will fix the grinding. Grab the latest build from the site. Thanks for the catch.
ahh i just saw this. I will try your software when i get a minute.
Do you have anything in particular in mind here? Long time macOS user but I like a good pro tip :)
I don’t have much actually, but at least:
- Batch rename files (select multiple files, right click, “Rename…”);
- Show/hide hidden files: `shift-cmd-.`;
- Go to folder: `shift-cmd-G`;
- `cmd-1` to `cmd-4` to quickly change view.All four of these are awesome tips, thank you!
