Yesterday I was frustrated with finder again on my new macbook and my search turned up a new alternative, fman. But then I realise I don't have the time :-).
TWINKLE AND FMAN FOR MAC
Then I think I should really make a good and fast filemanager for mac in something low level like C++. My searches usually comes up empty (pathfinder exists but to me it is just finder all over again, still slow and no real treeview). So when I am frustrated with finder I usually search for an alternative. I really miss a good file manager, which in my opinion of course is one that looks like windows explorer because that is what I am used to :-). I myself have used windows many years and switched to mac some years ago.
But adding one would make it a lot more familiar to many users and would probably help adaption a lot. I know a treeview is not in line with the norton commander style that fman is going for. I'm attaching screen casts so you can see precisely what I did to take 8/11/13 seconds. How it "feels" is difficult to compare / quantify. I believe more complex examples will give more of an edge to fman - in terms of speed. In general, I believe the above scenarios are Finder's "best case": The directories are not deeply nested and very close together, making up/down navigation and drag and drop easy. To me it feels clunkier because of the mouse and of the going up/down between directories. There is a noticeable difference between the two approaches. The fastest I could do B was 13 seconds in Finder and 11 seconds in fman. I could do A in both Finder and fman in about 8 seconds.
A: Preview file1 and file2 with QuickLook and move them to Receipts/2018.
I tried how fast I could execute the following two scenarios, with both Finder's list view and fman:
