You can choose up to 4 methods when viewing the contents within each window: Icon, List, Columns, or CoverFlow. Right off the bat, Forklift makes it super easy to copy and move files using its split-pane interface. Instead of retreading what Don’s superb 36 minute video has already covered, I’d like to share how I use Forklift 2.0 and how it’s made me more productive. (You can watch it on the Forklift 2.0 website.) Don McAllister did a great ScreenCastsOnline video that covers the program really well. This program offers split-paned windows, but it really does so much more. Normally I’d dismiss that as hyperbole, but I think, in this case, the billing is right on the mark. Until that happens (and I’m not holding my breath), we have Forklift 2.0, from BinaryNights.įorklift 2.0 has been dubbed “the second coming of file management”.
#FORKLIFT FOR MAC MAC OS X#
I keep waiting for the day that Mac OS X will support a split-pane Finder view.
As a Mac user for almost 20 years, I know that I am not alone when I say that copying and moving files on the Mac, as its currently implemented, totally blows.
To do this in Mac OS X, you would have to have two Finder windows open. Take a classic scenario that involves copying one file from within one folder to a separate folder location on your drive. (Yes, Virginia, there are a few.) Chief among my frustrations is file management. I’ll preface this report by saying this review has been a long time in coming.Īs a veteran Mac user, I’ve grown to deal with certain shortcomings with the Mac OS.
