XtraFinder

XtraFinder is a super handy plug-in for your Mac that makes Finder way better. It adds lots of cool features to the default file browser on macOS, so you can get more done.

Cool Features of XtraFinder

This awesome tool changes up your Finder’s look by giving you dual-pane and dual window support. Plus, it spruces up the context menu and lets you customize how your Finder window appears.

Personalize Your Finder Experience

With XtraFinder, you can tweak things like the background color, text color, and even secondary text color to fit your style. You can also jazz up the Sidebar with colorful icons or go back to the old-school color painting style!

Simpler File Management

XtraFinder makes moving files around a breeze! You can now use the "⌘ + X" shortcut to cut items in Finder. That’s way easier than Apple’s method where you have to copy with "⌘ + C" and then move with "⌘ + ⌥ + V".

Get Started with Preferences

Before diving into all these cool functions, you'll need to enable them through the Preferences window first. Just a quick setup and you're good to go!

Dual Pane Limitations

If you're running macOS 10.9 or later, you might find it disappointing that XtraFinder doesn’t offer dual pane support anymore. Instead, you can open two different Finder windows either horizontally or vertically.

A Bright Side: Context Menu Improvements

The good news is that XtraFinder still has an amazing context menu! It allows you to see folder contents quickly, copy file paths, and do other useful stuff without hassle.

More Features Await!

XtraFinder doesn’t stop there! You can make it maximize windows when zooming in or arrange items by name in icon view. If you've got dot files cluttering your Desktop, there’s an option to hide them too! Plus, it automatically adjusts the width of the Name column—super convenient!
