Path Finder seems to be most people's go-to these days; since System Integrity Protection was introduced in El Capitan, a lot of the popular ones from yesteryear (like TotalFinder) no longer work, but Path Finder basically just sits on top of Finder instead of modifying it directly.

Will give this a shot, thanks!

My dad has it, it's good enough for him to use regularly but it's apparently still missing some features. It depends what you're trying to do with it.

e: there's a feature comparison here:

including a list of features not currently in that you can vote on and they'll prioritize development time towards.

Thanks! I think the only one I use is loan amortization for our mortgage, and that's not exactly critical. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

I have never had any of these things happen. Also, that program runs on top of finder, so you would have the same copying / sharing / etc behavior as before, just with a layer over the UI.

I don't think that's what he meant, he probably meant it as something else is wrong rather than Finder being poo poo. Just getting a Finder replacement may not help him much.

Use cases vary ofc., I'm working with fresh installs on new machines. The network(s) are awesome and I'm not having issues crop up on my windows 10 box so I'm assuming it's OSX related.

Entirely possible, though I guess I'll find out if I'm just putting lipstick on a pig with PathFinder.

Anyone have it on a 2009 MBP? I don't know if I need to re-install it or if it's just slow.

Did you try the "full screen" button on the window title bar? Works good for me.

I gave this a shot, and unless I'm missing a setting somewhere, it's still cluttered. Here's the Mac version:



And here's the Windows version with Parallels:



The Windows version has a View option called "Full Page View" and "Dock to Desktop" that give that nice simple pane.

What do we like for emulating middle clicks with the magic trackpad?

I use http://magicprefs.com/ and bound it to "4 finger click". (and right button bound to "3 finger click").

It's got another killer feature too, which is the ability to define the magic mouse's active scroll area, which is useful to avoid accidental scrolls near the "left button" click area. On 10.11, I had to manually add the app to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Accessibility to fix a few issues (magnifying cursor on wiggles, authentication prompts in Keychain Access, etc).

Is there a free program out there that will simply disable the "momentum scrolling" when using an external mouse? Basically the scroll wheel starts off slow and gets drastically faster when scrolling for a second. It's really annoying with a physical mouse wheel.

I've seen some programs that fix it, but they cost a good amount of money with extra features that I don't need.

So, I decided it was about time to upgrade Textual (IRC client) to the paid version and instantly regret doing so. (On Mavericks, btw)

The program now randomly quits my various channels, won't keep my settings saved and is being rather annoying overall. Any suggestions, free or paid, would be great as I use IRC daily.

Yeah, I'm going to try another clean install and see if that'll fix anything but it's just been very odd. I used the trial for ages without issue and really only in the last week or so was I noticing disconnects or channels not working. But yeah, let me check this and see if that fixes anything. (I've reinstalled once before but can't hurt to try again.)

Since upgrading my work 15" MB Pro Retina to OSX 10.11, the Logitech Control Centre (LCC) daemon keeps crashing daily on it. This causes the mouse to stop responding, and requires me to power cycle the Mac with the power button, as if you try to reboot the MacBook it just sits at the grey shutdown screen.

I have the latest version of LCC on the Mac (3.9.3).

I have uninstalled LCC from my Mac and been through the /Library folder removing any instance of Logitech out of it and still have this issue when I do a fresh install of LCC.

Anyone else having issues with LCC?

After the Windows 10 update a couple of days ago, I’m unable to use the Startup Disk panel in System Preferences to select my Boot Camp partition anymore. This is the error I get when I select the Windows partition and click “Restart…”



I can still boot into Windows by holding “option” on startup, and I have no problems booting back into Mac OS X via Windows. Any suggestions on what I can do to make the Startup Disk pane usable again?

Moqups lets you mess around in a few projects for free and it's pretty good. We use Sketch at work when we need to make really nice things but Moqups works for just about everything else.

I'm a Sad Panda.
I'm on El Capitan and having a few issues.
1. Safari lists no extensions and refuses to install any, even though CleanMyMac lists them all and says they're disabled. Telling it to enable them does nothing. I am also unable to install extensions as attempting to do so leads to it looking like it installed, but then nothing being listed.
2. googleadservices popup galore
3. Sophos Anti-Virus Home can't install. It goes into the installation process, almost finishes and then tells me it has failed.

I've run Malwarebytes scanner and it finds nothing. I'm going a little crazy.

edit : The googleadservices popup are across Firefox, Safari and Chrome. I even wiped my whole Safari profile and it comes up still.

You could try MacScan 3..

Latest version of MacScan that was released this month.

Otherwise there's definitely something in your plugins or Safari extensions folder mucking up things.

Oh just remembered what I was originally coming to post about..

So, once again Apple appears to have updated Migration Assistant in El Capitan. Here's my notes on it so far:

- Has the same source choices (From another Mac, Time Machine, or PC)

- After finalizing your choices it actually proceeds to count the number of folders it has to process and displays the number on screen

- Then it throws away this number, never to mention it again, and displays the usual thermometer along with throughput (19-25 MB/s with a FW 800 cable between an old 2010 iMac and a 2015 Retina) and the usual ever-changing estimate of time to completion. The throughput at least is a nice touch.

I've had this exact same issue since El Cap and it's a huge drag. Mouse would just die on me out of the blue and nothing would help except a reboot but the Mac would hang and I'd have to force shut down every time. A couple of days ago I ran the LCC Uninstaller app and got the latest version and installed that and while so far nothing has happened I'm prepared for it to go to poo poo again very soon.

Yeah, it is crapped itself again. There's no answers on both the Logitech forums or the Apple Discussion forums. I thought there would be more people effected by this

Make sure they have the latest client, maybe? The latest is v.3.8.5 and I've got it running on two El Capitan clients with no probs. Also make sure the account you are trying to sign in with has admin rights.

Also make sure you're running ARD v.3.8.

I find it easiest just to use Google Sheets and set the cell width so you have squares. Each box is a sq ft or 1/4 sq ft or whatever you need. Then you just create borders and fills for objects and rooms. I think you can even fill cells with a / or \ to represent a door.
