When dealing with camera media, how many items are in this folder?.How can I tell how much space is left on the hard drive?.How can I tell which Finder Window corresponds to which drive?.My questions to the above Finder Setup would be: I keep my file naming conventions consistent throughout drives, the only naming that differs is when it's a different drive or different shoot day. You could check all of this is you use Get Info (Command + I) on the folder you are looking at. There must be a better way, thankfully there is! OPTIMIZATION But this is time consuming and an extra process for you to complete just to get information that can be easily displayed. In order to fully optimize Finder you will need to download a handy piece of software. There is a free application for macOS called Onyx that serves as a tool for system maintenance as well as tweaking advanced user settings. Each version of Onyx is specifically built for different iterations of macOS. Please download the version of Onyx that is applicable to your OS. #Onyx mac os high sierra 10.13.6 download# For this example I am using Onyx 3.4.9 for macOS High Sierra 10.13.6. When you open Onyx it will run a few system checks, please click continue and allow it to complete this process. Once you are in, select the 'Parameters' Icon in the user bar which will take you to Advanced User Settings. From here select the tab labelled 'Finder'.

The key setting for our purposes here is under 'Misc. Please tick the checkbox next to 'Show the item path in the window title'. You will get a pop-up box saying that Onyx needs to close and re-open Finder. Now when you look at the exact same drives detailed above they will look like this: Ensure no files are copying in the background and click continue. Take a look at the A/B Comparison below:īefore the tweak with Onyx it just displayed the folder name, now it displays the full path of the folder. This means that you will always be able to tell exactly where the folder/file you are looking at is located, all in a quick glance. This becomes super useful when you are working with multiple drives as offload destinations, all it takes is a mis-click and you'll wind up navigating to a different drive. As they all tend to follow the same file structure it isn't obvious what exact drive you are looking at. This is crucial when you want to ensure specific footage is copied to a particular drive. I often run Finder side by side with my data management software to act as a double check encase the software or a human error hasn't offloaded the footage to the destination that I intended.
