I think he's referring to the fact that Finder already has tabs.

 

:argh:

 

Duh I know it has tabs that comes with Finder...but I said options!!  Meaning you can have tab styles (such as square tabs, curve tabs, etc), tab size, tabs on top, or bottom of toolbar, etc.

 

Even you can add more stuff to the menu and other things to tweak around in the Finder as the way you like.

 

Like I said take a look at the app and see more features to tweak around... 

 

 

In my first post about XtraFinder.... I said 'Up to you' ... that means it's up to you to install add-on or not....  I don't need your reminders or explains about Finder's default features that come with it.

 

I don't care if you install it or not....   it's your decision to install... I was giving OP a suggestion and see if he likes it or not...   I don't care if he refuses to install it..

OS X comes with a great utility for all kinds of file operations built-in. It's this:

I'm not kidding either. Terminal.app is always open on my Mac, and more often than not the tool I use to move files around.

I'm new to the mac world as well...got my hackintosh up and running!

 

I installed Office Preview, but wow, I have 4 days left!! yikes!

 

 

I'm so used to windows that I want to install windows in parallels or virtualbox, I use outlook, onenote (desktop/office version, not the free one) a lot, in addition to the rest of office family. Additionally, i depend on OneDrive for saving, accessing, and backing up my files.

 

I have an HP microserver with windows 2012 sever on it, sitting there doing noting. What to start backing up files to it.

 

Any pointers to apps or features I should be aware of in the mac world?

Congrats on the Mac. I personally do not think you should downgrade, it should run Yosemite just fine. Also, running Mavericks means that you will be barred from getting newer versions of some of Apple's apps from the Mac App Store.

 

One piece of software I can recommend is Hyperdock, it basically adds Windows 7 like thumbnails and app snapping features. It is $10 and it is available on the Mac App Store and directly from the developer's website (you can also try it out for free from the developer's website; and I would recommend getting the version from the developer's site because it has fewer restrictions than the App Store version).

 

Here is a link for that:

https://bahoom.com/hyperdock

 

I would also recommend looking at iMovie, Garage Band, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and iBook Author because they are all neat productivity apps and I believe they are all still free. ?

 


I also do not believe you should install Windows unless you are gaming, using 3D apps, or need to run an app that only runs on Windows. OS X should be able to do nearly everything Windows can do.

Thanks for all the great posts. I held off on installing windows for now. I am still having issues with finding files.. I was able to change my photos app to default to my nas but I can't actually find where the files are saving to. I think my toughest transistion is not having the right click... This is prob a stupid question but I assume I can buy a standard Logitech mouse with 2 buttons I can get back some windows commands that I am used to?

Yes you can.. I have Logitech Performance MX.  It works fine.

Yes. I use a stock Lenovo Windows keyboard and mouse with my rMBP, combined with Karabiner to map some of the keys back to how they work in Windows.

New Mac owner here too. I like to play around in the terminal but do not know any useful commands yet. Anybody know a site that lists Mac commands for the terminal? I'd like to change directories, view and rename files, and test some Perl scripts.

Thanks!

Sorry guys. Just found what I was looking for. http://ss64.com/osx/ A-Z list of the command line.

    • Good. I hope more people sue them for focusing on this worthless junk.
    • How about fire the guy who approved all the bad decisions? The guy who bought these studios in the first place? Oh wait, Satya is safe with his billions while the workers pay the price.
    • This had nothing to do with games. This is all about management wanting to squeeze as much money from Xbox to keep Microsoft's AI ambitions afloat. Someone has to make money to burn on AI.
    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse).
