> and I really dislike drag and drop behavior on macOS

In the app you can have a dual pane with two folders side-by-side and select the file(s) you want to move/copy to the other folder and right click or open the command palette to do the operation, so you do not have to drag them (though dragging still works too). It's also possible to cut files with CMD + X and paste them somewhere else with CMD + V.

Most people having issues with the finder do not know half of what it can do; it’s interesting, really.
It appears some people having problems with Finder haven’t used it for ten years.
Is there any way to stop /prevent it enumerating tif files over the network ?

When i open a directory of 400 30MB tif files it grinds to a halt while it thumbnails them all over the network. Its unusable.

AFAIK, yes.

`cmd-J` -> Uncheck “Show icon preview”

Hopefully it’s enough, but I haven’t tried.

yeah but it's not configurable for local vs network as far as i can tell
Not AFAIK, no.
Just pushed an update. There's now a setting in Preferences to disable icon previews on network volumes. You can also set which file extensions should be excluded, which I hope will fix the grinding. Grab the latest build from the site. Thanks for the catch.
ahh i just saw this. I will try your software when i get a minute.
Do you have anything in particular in mind here? Long time macOS user but I like a good pro tip :)
I don’t have much actually, but at least:

    - Batch rename files (select multiple files, right click, “Rename…”);
    - Show/hide hidden files: `shift-cmd-.`;
    - Go to folder: `shift-cmd-G`;
    - `cmd-1` to `cmd-4` to quickly change view.
All four of these are awesome tips, thank you!
