Does anyone know how to do this in 10.9? The hack of adding a space before "folders" in the plist file that used to work doesn't anymore?
I did the hack with the space before and it works for me. Remember that the file needs to be binary for it to work.
Would you mind writing/linking a little guide on how to do this?
cd /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/ (or whatever language you're running)
sudo plutil -convert xml1 InfoPlist.strings
sudo nano InfoPlist.strings (edit folder here)
sudo plutil -convert binary1 InfoPlist.strings
In any version of OS X, if you sort by Kind, folders will be separate.
Sure
Code:cd /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/ (or whatever language you're running) sudo plutil -convert xml1 InfoPlist.strings sudo nano InfoPlist.strings (edit folder here) sudo plutil -convert binary1 InfoPlist.strings
I used Totalfinder for a long while, and then switched to Xtrafinder, which is free and even better, as it works in such a similar way to an internet browser, and you can for example open new tabs doing middle click, like in firefox. Extra finder doesn't work now, adn i guess total finder neither. OSX finder still sucks big time...
That takes care of most of my needs. What else do you need TotalFinder or XtraFinder for?
I dunno but I liked to use all these features pretty regularly
Hide desktop
Colored sidebar
Side by side tabs
Automatically adjusted column width
New document context menu
Copy path context menu
Show Hidden Items menu bar toggle
Return of cmd+x cmd+v to move an item
Return would open and cmd+return to rename
Yeah, it works if you sort by name, but not by kind, which is how I did it in the past...
I believe they are referring to sorting alphabetically with the old folder hack in place. If you don't have that, folders won't be at the top period.
I do this by pressing COMMAND+J in the folder I want with pictures and folders (folders on top, pictures sorted in ABC order), then in "Arrange by", I choose Name, then "Sort by", I choose Kind. This will then sort my folder with the folders first, followed by the pictures in ABC order.
