    Unable to change default Finder view options

    Hi y'all, I've been having this really frustrating issue with both of my macs (2020 m1 mac mini and 2018 macbook pro) for a few months now.

    Quick Finder tag assignment app for photos?

    I make extensive use of Finder tags to help organize a large photo library. The tags are for places, people, events, etc. AFAIK, there are two ways to assign tags: either drag the file or folder over to the Finder sidebar to the desired tag, or Get Info on the file or folder and specify the tag...

    Reminders - custom smart lists with #tags cannot recognize "all day" reminders vs. "timed" reminders

    EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out. I gave the smart list two filters: the #travel tag and "Relative Range - In the Past Year" and that accomplished my goal. I would like to create a custom Smart List that uses a #tag to show all reminders with that #tag that are overdue or due today, but...

    Universal No tag symbol on the keyboard in the Notes app

    On iPhone and iPad, when creating or editing notes in the Notes app, no tag symbol # is shown above the keyboard like it is shown for the Reminders app. I don’t want to manually insert the tag symbol as it is not convenient.

    Transfer Finder tags between files

    I have a large number of scanned photos (thousands) that have been (laboriously) tagged in Finder. Now, I want to rescan many of the photos - is there any way to transfer Finder tags from the old files to the new ones without resetting them all, one by one? Please say yes!

    What Finder Tags do you use?

    I've wanted to start using Finder Tags for a long time because I'm forever having problems when searching for a specific file. But as much as I want to, going back through all my files now feels overwhelming, and I keep putting it off. Obviously this only makes matters worse because I continue...

    Universal Gallery view for iCloud Drive files app

    I’m looking for an app that can let me browse my iCloud Drive files in a gallery/grid view similar to the Photos app? I like to keep my drawing reference photos on iCloud Drive so I can put them into folders and use tags to better organize them. It would be awesome if the Files app had a gallery...

    How to transfer Finder Tags to new MacBook

    I've used Finder tags to sort a large database on my existing MacBook AIr. Now it has come time to migrate to a new MacBook Air but I cannot find any documentation on how to transfer the tags over along with the file. I use Google Drive to host and sync my files. I did a trial run and the...

    Using tags to organise files long-term

    Hi everyone, I've recently decided to start using tags to better organise the files on my Mac - as I'm convinced it's a much better method to categorise files, rather than using text stored in the file's comment field (which I've been doing up until now). However, before I start using my new...

    XMP Viewer for .mov?

    I'm using ExifTool to write XMP descriptions to .mov files. Is there any easy way to see this information in the OS or with an app outside of using the command line? Thanks.

    Posting to Flickr from Photos Mac app

    Hi, I have multiple thousands of photos to upload to my Flickr Pro account. It's a pain to have to enter in the Tags for the photos (saying who is in each photo). I was thinking if there was a way to have the Mac Photos app upload to Flickr using the information garnered from the Faces...

    Use Finder tags without the actual dot?

    Hi, I'm a little perfectionist about my own notions of UI design. About the Finder tags... well I love this feature but I dont like to actually see the colored dots before the file names. Is there a way/hack to hide it? The idea would be to use tags normally, click on them on the left pane to...

So I turn on the option in VMware to use all displays in full screen...
