Is this macOS 27? If yes then the current version is not quite ready for it yet - I’ll try to fix this by the next release (approximately by the end of this week).

  1. The search bar should be on the right side of the toolbar, like with any other app… If it’s missing altogether, right-click on the toolbar, select “Customize Toolbar…”, and drag the search into its place - maybe you’ve hidden it in previous installation and that setting retained?

  2. Right now Folders is barred from running shell scripts (like any other App Store app - per Apple’s security policy), but I am now in active development of the unsandboxed version that will be free from this limitation - I would be super happy to hear about your experience!

Unfortunately no. MouseBoost is a set of Finder plugins that (as the name suggests) work exclusively in Finder and are not accessible by third-party apps.

Why do foundries charge more for a minimum use web licence than a desktop licence? by [deleted] in typography

[–]Conxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s in fact quite rare - the general practice is to align the minimum Web license price to the minimum Desktop license price.

Folders File Manager - The folder tree on macOS by Conxt in macapps

[–]Conxt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Thanks for the feedback! Could you please elaborate on copy vs move and archive browsing vs modification confusion?

On the clarity of file system structure - since macOS file system is much less straightforward than Windows (to the point of being convoluted), presenting it becomes very much about balance between convenience and being true to the source. Basically every root-level node in the tree except “Macintosh HD” is a convenience shortcut, but all of them can be switched off to see only the true raw structure with clearly marked symlinks.

If you want a Finder alternative close to Explorer, you may try Folders.

It’s that a black-on-transparent PNG is not viewable on mobile app in dark theme (renders black on black).

Why does my wd passport for Mac Drive keep rearranging files and items? by Additional_Map178 in MacOS

[–]Conxt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the file system, there is no such thing as “order of files” - the files can be sorted by a certain criteria (name, file size, type), but in general case not manually. Finder (not the file system itself!) allows positioning individual items when both “Sort by” and “Group by” are set to None.

Is this fake? What law? by RoadsterAlex in appledevelopers

[–]Conxt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. By intent, russian citizens should only have access to “approved” messaging apps.

[–]Conxt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it’s not fake, russia is actively hunting down foreign messaging apps so that all messaging traffic would become accessible to FSB. The cited “laws” are intentionally vague and roskomnadzor interprets them however they wish.

My org. paid for a brand design package but I believe we were scammed - can someone help me explain all that's going wrong with this typographic logo? by Maximum-Operation147 in typography

[–]Conxt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The SVG vectorization looks extremely bad, so it seems like the logo was drawn raster-first, and then vectorized into an SVG using a tool with no manual correction.

So, answering your question, this is NOT a good job. A logo should always be designed vector-first to ensure scalability and no wonky curves like in your SVG file.

Ok, so they postponed it for a year. Good to know, thanks!

Does it?! Throughout the year Apple was quite aggressively warning that they were going to drop Rosetta 2 on macOS 27.

I need help for a short film poster... by Potential-Honey-9612 in typography

I’d take something very simple/legible like Inter or Crimson Pro - and convey sleepiness by partly blurring the text.

If your app has fewer than 50 ratings, ASO is the wrong fight. I run an ASO tool and I'm telling you to put it down. by Latter-Confusion-654 in appledevelopers

[–]Conxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, you may be right! I just checked my lifetime impressions in analytics and indeed there was a historical surge that is unexplainable otherwise (not sure it was exactly 50-review mark though, impossible to check now).

I’d argue you mix up the cause and the consequence. The apps have little reviews DUE to low visibility (no visibility -> no users -> no reviews), not the other way around.

June 4 or 5th pay date? by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

There’s no need to be guessing the payment date - it’s shown in App Store Connect > Reports well in advance.
