#FIND ANY FILE APP MAC SOFTWARE#
Discover the best free software available for audio, video, graphics, business and utilities. All searches were done on a "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" hard drive I can not say how the applications compare on APFS drives.Ĭonclusion: The free utility EasyFind finds as many files as as the not so free utility Find Any File both utilities search with the same speed.Audio Software Video Software Dictation Software Graphics Software Business Software Utility Softwareĭownload free software for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. Here some of my search terms: teamviewer, indesign, carbon, splashtop, lazy, solar, nzb, xls. I actually would not rule out that the Find Any File maker wants this to happen so that his (not free) applications looks better than the (free) EasyFind. One other thing: Although I had in my searches defined that I do NOT want to have package contents included in the results Find Any File showed them initially in its results, making me initially belief that it had indeed found more files than EasyFind. I don't know about anybody else but in my book that clearly and indisputably means that it does not find "any" file, just "almost any" file. Why? Because Find Any File does not include the little "faf" files that it creates for each search in its results. Howevver, in all of my about 10 tests in which I ran EasyFind and Find Any File next to each other both applications finished almost simultaneously, being not even a second apart.Īnd, guess what - Easyfind found in ALL searches exactly one file more than Find Any File. No doubt that Find Any File finds (almost) everything on a hard drive. The one star in this review is just to counter the hyped-up anti-EasyFind reviews here. Highly recommended! The search results window may, at first sight, look a bit basic, but it does have drag-and-drop support (plays well with the Finder and 3rd party apps!), Quick Look, various View Options, item count, an option to include or exclude hidden files, etc.ĥ stars out of 5! No reservations in recommending it!
#FIND ANY FILE APP MAC LICENSE#
Went back and bought a Find Any File license - the best utility of the kind for macOS bar none! Much more reasonably priced than the ridiculously overpriced HoudahSpot, as well. Tembo - same story as the EasyFind, just in a slightly better interface and it isn't free: the property is missing altogether. Tried HoudahSpot in demo mode, as I had bought a license (which turns out to be long expired) in a bundle a few years ago: this one has the function, but it doesn't work! Shows no results. I wonder how they got to version 4.9.3 without incorporating such basic features. Tried EasyFind: the app does not allow to choose to include or to exclude extensions or even specify that the files I'm looking for, should have names starting with a ".". Relaunched the app a few times - same story. I tried free alternatives - iFileX would crash even before the Ui would pop up. One thing I needed it for in particular (I'm sure, this app's utility is vastly greater than the purpose I availed of yesterday, and I believe, I'll utilise its other features soon, as well) - is listing all the invisible files across a number of subfolders (a few hundreds) in a certain folder. Hence, this is not an entire replacement for Spotlight but it can come handy in certain, if not many, situations.Ī very useful utility that works to expectation.

But even on mounted network volumes of a Mac OS X server it can still be surprisingly fast. On the other hand, it may take a little longer than Spotlight, and it is only fast on HFS(+) volumes. Hence it is great for finding system files, for example. This allows you to find any file, even those inside packages and others excluded from Spotlight search. Unlike Spotlight (i.e., the Finder's Find command), it does not access a pre-built database but searches the chosen volume directly.
