FinderFix v0.7.6b

• Maintenance release

FinderFix v0.7.5b

• Add a workaround for localizable strings on macOS 15 (Sequoia) while still making all recent features available (as a temporary solution until I can debug the crash on a system running Sequoia). The system Locale must be set to English on Sequoia if you want to use the special windows exclusion list (i.e. "Info", "Quick Look", "Copy", "Connect to Server...", "Go to Folder...").

FinderFix v0.7.4b

• Double down on disk images (dmg and sparsebundle) size and position when they miss the mark.

FinderFix v0.7.3b

• Change the Locale parsing algorithm to better identify language and region codes, making it flexible enough to distinguish between Portuguese (Portugal) and Portuguese (Brazil) and still robust enough for a fall-through when the operating system does not contain localizations for the specific region
• Fix .DS_Store removal still running after checkbox has been unticked
• Add optional system-wide removal of .DS_Store files in Home and Applications directories and subdirectories
• Add "Go to Folder" (Shift-Cmd-G) to the exclusion list
• Minimum OS requirements: 11.0

FinderFix v0.5.5b Sequoia (special build)

Please use this new release that is confirmed to work on Sequoia until I can lay my hands on a system that can run Sequoia to be able to debug the localizable Strings feature.

It seems like Apple silently changed Finder's localizable Strings so I reverted my git history to a commit preceding any localized filtered windows (tag v0.5.5b) to build this version.

The system Locale must be set to English.

Before installing it please uninstall your current version of FinderFix. I recommend using an Uninstaller to remove any trace of it. Also make sure ~/Library/Preferences/com.mantel.FinderFix.plist has been removed.

FinderFix v0.7.2b

• A new switch allows to enable/disable the View settings pane (fixes issues #8 and #10)
• Show Sidebar and Show Toolbar are automatically checked together when needed, exactly like Finder where the Sidebar is automatically hidden (and the menu bar option item to show it is grayed out) when the Toolbar is hidden
• Minimum OS requirements: 10.15

FinderFix v0.7.1b

• Adds a View settings pane (please consider it still experimental)
• It currently allows to Show/Hide Sidebar, Toolbar, Path Bar, and Status Bar on newly opened windows
• The Sidebar width can also be set precisely in pixels
• An option to "Automatically remove .DS_Store files", deletes them as soon as they get created in the root folder of the Home and Applications directories, yielding more control to FinderFix
• A "Relaunch Finder" push button allows to act on "recalcitrant" windows
• An enhancement request for narrower Finder windows [#7] has been implemented to set the minimum window dimensions with each of the Sidebar, Toolbar, Tab Bar, Path Bar, and Status Bar hidden to 316 w x 300 h (291 by cheating with the menu bar)
• Fixes the system error beep sound emitted when trying to move the caret with arrow keys inside the text fields

FinderFix v0.6.7b

• A complete rewrite of the UI to make room for more settings
• Distribute current settings over several Tab Views
• Allow for more global shortcuts
• Operation windows are now excluded from FinderFix control #3

FinderFix v0.5.9b

First public beta release
