The Preferences window can be accessed via a menu bar item. The WorksĪt first, the Finder did not show any sign of change, since all the options of the plug-in are disabled by default and you need to manually toggle them. However, since XtraFinder is not about customizing the appearance (colors, themes, etc.) but about adding extra functionality, the Finder's look and feel remain the same. The utility greatly modifies the Finder's interface with tab support, dual-pane / window mode, enriched context menus and so on. Zero problems were encountered during the short installation and we were able to use the Finder straight away. As far as the uninstallation is concerned, it can be easily handled from the menu bar item. The plug-in is lightweight, occupies just 1.5 MB and installing the package required a minimum amount of time and effort.

XtraFinder is a free and feature-rich Finder plug-in that improves almost every lacking aspect of the Finder and offers a set of very handy additions to the OS X's standard file browser. There are quite a lot of great alternatives and plug-ins to the Mac Finder, but most of them are commercial. Enhancing the Finder's capabilities is one of the most discussed Mac-related topics on the web, as the Finder clearly lacks some features that power users need on a daily basis, such as cut / paste or dual-panel display for easier file transfer.
