TotalFinder is a must-have plugin for your Mac’s Finder we reviewed months ago here. TotalFinder, developed by Binary Age, brings a lot of additional functionalities to Apple’s default file manager, including the possibility to open multiple tabs, a “visor” feature to open the Terminal as a transparent layer on top of any window, folders on top, dual mode and many other tweaks.
It’s a massive extension to the original Finder which I’ve been using for months now, and haven’t really looked back. It doesn’t get in the way like many other alternative file managers do, as it perfectly blends with the Finder itself.
Today Binary Age released a major update to TotalFinder, introducing a variety of bug fixes and improvements but, most of all, a new icon and proper cut & paste support. To activate cut & paste for files in the Finder (which doesn’t ship by default with OS X machines) you just have to open the preferences and check an option. Once activated, you’ll find a cut & paste menu in the Finder’s default contextual menu. The 1.1 update also brings much smoother tabs animations, sidebar tweaks in dual mode, fast toolbar hiding.
TotalFinder was a must-have on its version 1.0, and it still is now that the first major update is out. Actually, I can’t recommend this more now that cut & paste is a go and lots of bugs have been squashed. Plus, the app is available today at $9 on MacUpdate Promo – you can’t miss it.
