      Appreciate your video, great work. It’s just that.. come on you know Clean My Mac is freaking crap. I know you guys need to make some money from the work you put into this videos but „recommending“ this BS somehow counteracts with the knowledge you have and spread.

      Hi, I am looking for a solution on how to sort files by Photos Capture Time instead of Created (it's the time when I exported). I can find this time at file info, but can't sort by it. Thanks.

    My absolute favorite tip that I would like to add is to create a "Screenshot" folder, and route all screenshots to go there rather than create desktop clutter.

      You can already do this.
      Press "cmd+shift+5" to bring up screenshot tool, then select "options", then select "choose location"
      boom all done

    I definitively learn a couple of new tricks:
    - A better finder organization
    - Control keys combined with hot corners
    - Dock preferences removing the genie effect and minimize in application
    - Greater spotlight control even if I use Alfred
    - Flux with I use on Windows but didn't know it could be a good option on Mac too
    - Reminding me to use Widgets on desktop :D
    - And many more...

    A few more suggestions:
    - Under Finder Preferences enable the setting to keep folders on top vs mixed with file names. (Optional for desktop)
    - Under Control Center enable the battery option for control center and hide it for the task bar to remove an icon. Still show up in control center.
    - In the same area customize Date and Time to remove AM/PM and day of week to save more space on menu bar

      Do you have a purple "Recents" folder within the Smart Folder? When I created mine, it showed up in there and it's basically an unclickable placeholder.

    • @DiastroYT
      @DiastroYT 5 месяцев назад

      Hey @@ChristianBarresi, sorry for the late reply! I do indeed have a purple folder within the Smart Folder, and nothing happens when you click on it. But it's not getting in the way.
      One additional tip I can give you is to play around with the Grouping options within finder. In addition to sorting, you can group items by many different proporties like file type, app, etc. Many of these options will also kind of hide the purple folder from view. It's a simple workaround and a great under-utilized Finder feature!
