OS X El Capitan on the Mac App Store

Re:OS X El Capitan on the Mac App Store by voaie on Wednesday September 30, 2015 @03:22PM (#10306397)

Damn it, the .DS_Store files are back without the help from Asepsis! Now I must run clean.sh everytime I pack up my project. :( The time has come...

One solution that I've adopted: never use Finder.

I'm new to the OS X: what do you use instead then? Is there a good alternative to Finder?

Dunno if they replace Finder but I find http://www.mucommander.com/ and http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file handy. Both free.

There's Path Finder, but the Finder is pretty central to OS X, so it's going to have its rough edges.

However, Spotlight + unix + the dock does wonders for avoiding needing to browse at all.

What do you use instead? You navigate exclusively from your terminal?

I've used Forklift for years, very stable: http://www.binarynights.com/forklift/

Actually, Forklift is broken in El Capitan, at least for me. It just freezes after few seconds upon launching and then fails to recognize user input, or lags terribly.

I would do, but it fails to open my OpenLDAP/nfs mounted home :(

On Windows I've been using Total Commander for 15 years or more. There's nothing like it on Mac, and I've tried them all. But there's this new app, Files (http://filesmanager.info/), which is being actively developed and gaining features fast. I've been using it for some time now I'm liking it more and more. The developer behind it is very responsive and skilled and it seems to be going in a great direction. There's hope for OS X! :)

Thanks, the free lite version is definitely enough for me! (although there may be other unexpected ways to generated the .DS_Store files)

But finally I just use clean.sh when necessary. :P

For source code repos, yeah. Otherwise, add .DS_Store to your .gitignore.

Cocoa tech Path Finder for me.

I second the Path Finder recommendation:
