It’s fast. Doesn’t take much memory or energy.

Yes. Fantastic little software. Even though It has a filter for subsystem, I couldn’t figure out how to add predicate (like in Ulbow)?

Can you share the theme you are using ? I want to check if it can be deployed on github pages. Thanks.
sunny_sigara··on macOS Sequoia is available today
Most annoying problems so far..

1. Screen-recording permission once every week ?

2. No more sudo spctl —master-disable. Alternative way is bit complicated.

2. No more control+ click to bypass gatekeeper.

3. Why tcutil reset Accessibility not working for a specific app? It works for “All” .

4. Script to convert NSURL node ref url to posix url not working.

5. Normal usb Mouse pointer acceleration is not smooth. May be need to re tweak those again.

Anything else ? Otherwise all good.

Finder is most advanced and most extensible. I make it work like Nautilus or Dolphin or Thunar. It’s super extensible. What Finder can do, Nautilus combined with Nemo, Thunar and Dolphin can’t do.

Only 12 ? That’s why.

Nope. Just like shell you can inject javascript into anything on mac. Every app is scriptable by AppleScript or javascript by default. App developer has the option to make it more scriptable. Mac has a perfect api for that and that is why it works well even with hundreds of extensions.

And No need for helper as in the top bar. They are meant to run as service. ICE can hide those in a smart way anyway. Which is a super cool free app. App boring-notch transforms notch into dynamic island. I never used any paid app in my life on mac. But I do donate.

And nope. Extending dock is super easy with tools like BetterTouchTool even for novice. That is why there are hundreds of dock apps. On a whim I made dock behave like dock-to-dash by injecting only 20 line of code. https://objectstack.github.io/images/Dock-To-Dash-Mac.gif

It will hide/unhide from dock.

Gnome is counter productive not Mac. As I said you need to dive deep. People use Mac when they want to get their works done or Windows to play games. Gnome is just part-time-play-thing. Linux simply doesn’t work on desktop.

By simply clicking path toolbar. You probably using very old version where it is not visible by default. In 15, just say “go up” and it will go up !!

Gnome is only popular because Ubuntu. Period.

> This is the kind of thing I appreciate that the Gnome team mostly ignores.

And that is why everyone ignores Gnome. They like what 25 years behind Mac, still struggling with navigation! ?

sunny_sigara··on I Don't Care for Gnome
Gnome is not a full time os. It is a part-time-play thing. Fun to play. But if you want work done use Mac or Windows for games.

How much do you know about MacOS ? Mac is more customisable than Gnome. I gather best 100 gnome extensions and still find mac more customisable as in mac everything is app including extensions. And there are gazzilions of apps in mac. And 100 extensions/apps on mac works amazing, on gnome even 25 extensions causing trouble and interfering with each other. So I throw back your at word at you. “Gnome can only dream about the way mac users can customise”. This doesn’t happen over night though. You need to drive deep.

Everything in the settings. Default is boring. And there are tons of extensions in GitHub which actually works unlike Nautilus.

Gnome File’s is like 25 years behind Mac’s Finder. When Finder can now rename your screenshots based on content with the help of apple ai(!! Yup no more IMG_0027.jpg), Gnome is still struggling with basic navigation. Linux on desktop simply doesn’t work.
sunny_sigara··on Show HN: I made an extension to compress images right from Finder
Clop (https://lowtechguys.com/clop/) is fantastic and does this automatically.
