Has thumbnails and can cut paste like literally any other OS out there (BSD doesn't exist, faggot), but also automatically host them in the NSA cloud.
>>51409154
you have to command+option V to cut and paste. stupid? yes, but osx is made for people who are too dumb to figure out right clicking from left clicking so i guess consider yourself lucky they even allow it at all

Getting real tired of your shit, apple.
>>51409253
osx is dumb, but you can stop trying to act like a tool. you command c to copy, and then you command option v to paste and it will 'move' it, which is basically the same as a cut
>>51409235
No, you still can't right click on Macs :^)
>>51409288
Copy and Paste is not the same as Cut and Paste.
Did you read the OP breh
>>51409253
You have to be smart enough to toggle a certain finger press to act as a right click.
A 10 Google search revealed this to me.

What a dumb design, why i mean ctrl+x is too mainstream for the faglords that use OSX?

>>51409323
It produces exactly the same outcome. The difference is that you can decide whether to move/insert at the end, and not at the beginning of the operation.
>>51409102
Windows doesn't select files by dragging them into the file picker dialogue, it copies them instead which is utterly useless. If you have a file open you can't easily upload it without having to navigate to the file for a second time like on any other system, which is very annoying. Also lacks file tagging and tabs, can't display gif/pdf previews in the file selection dialogue and probably even more I can't remember right now.
>>51409435
What do you expect a program to do after you press the close button to close it? Minimize?
>>51409531
If I press the quit program button, or cmd+Q I expect the program to close.

It closes the window, not the process. It's quite helpful for programs which take awhile to start up.
How did apple manage to fuck up an os so badly and sell it as an easy to use os.
Fucking windows is easier to use. I tried a macbook at the Apple Store and it was trash.
Windows, with all its flaws, is so much more capable than osx, and Linux distros too.

It's because you're not used to it. I've been using OSX since 2003 and it's absolutely effortless to move stuff using drag-and-drop because I'm used to all the timings of how long to hover over folders before they open automatically, etc. It's the same as when I use windows and it feels like a UX disaster but it's actually just me being an idiot.

Who even needs file managers? They're generally for advanced users, and OS X is meant to be easy for the average user. If you want to do things like a NEET then you better at least have the knowledge of a NEET. You apparently don't.

you can't cut folders though - but you can move them with keyboard shortcuts as others stated earlier

That is not at all useless.
If you have something saved on your desktop and you want to open it in photoshop or something and also move it into your project folder which is like 10 layers deep in some network folder (but photoshop open there by default cos it was the last place you opened a file) you can copy/cut paste it in without any fucking about. The file picker is full file manager and that's very usefu for moving shit around in the context of an applications working directory
Also windows has a url bar with the path in it, you drag and drop a file there and you select the file or navigate to the folder.
Makes total fucking sense.

maximize is dumb. full screen + mission control is the way you should be using your macbook. who the fuck wants to use a window with large ass borders PLUS the fucking menu bar at the top? fuck man safari in full screen + always show toolbar unchecked is how browsing is on a macbook is meant to be done
>>51416725
>click maximize
>trapped in single window that covers entire screen
And even if you really like fullscreen, there is currently no option to disable that "feature"
>>51409135
This.
How fucking thick are you? it's literally exactly the same as windows except you use command instead of control for every shortcut.
Legitimate gripe: Why the fucking fuck does OSX not have global shortcuts. Command-V should open a new goddamn finder window no matter what window has focus. Don't make me focus finder before it works. REEEEEEEEEE
>>51416758
your probably a poorfag running a hackintosh OR too dumb to ctrl + left/right to a different space
>>51416781
Seriously. Never had a problem with a simple command+c, command+v. Wtf is OP doing wrong?
>>51416781
better touch tool (which you can use for creating your own application specific or global keyboard shortcuts in addition to trackpad shortcuts). also keyboard shortcuts can be user configured without a third party tool using keyboard sys prefs pane > shortcuts. both global and app specific can be done here as well

actually just barely 6 years ago now, OSX still didn't have a cut, copy or paste feature.
"copying" made short cuts of everything and didn't actually copy anything
there wasn't a cut
and paste pasted what ever was on the clip board but getting it to paste was a pain in the ass
>>51409072
>move
Not called cut paste. It's called move.
>>51409514
>It produces exactly the same outcome.
Yeah it's true, however copy&paste + delete is much more wasteful on resources.

it can't "cut and paste" but it can "copy and move"
morons
you can't "paste" in linux either, it just links CTRL+V on files and directories to the move command.
command + option + v

>>51417052
>copy 20GB directory on the same drive, takes half an hour, maybe can't finish depending on remaining space on drive
Nope, using Cmd+C and Cmd+Opt+V really moves the directory without actually rewriting the data.
>>51416837
>cut and paste is the same as copy and paste
OSX is actually unusable due to the inertial scrolling and mouse acceleration, both of which you can't turn off. The inertial scrolling is so strong it's barely even possible to scroll anywhere. Garbage OS
>>51409072
>Cmd+C
Select file(s)/folder(s)
>Cmd+V
Copy/paste selected items to destination
>Cmd+Opt+V
Move selected items to destination
Stop whining about your OS and try learning how to use it.

Opera 12's inertia scrolling is great, and I've never had an issue with Finder's. The faster you scroll, the more inertia it has. It's not rocket science
Am I on /g/, or did I go to another board?
Do people here really now know how to cut & paste in other Operating Systems that isn't Windows?
>>51409177
>Has thumbnails, apparently
Depends on the file manager and may also depend on ffmpeg packages being present or even just the feature being turned on.
Just how Linux is.
>>51409072
do you know how Google works? OSX and Windows have mostly the same base features nowadays, now get off /g/
>>51416989

>>51410938
wonder why this meme exists when Mac OS is a much more customizable OS than Windows
unless this is trying to compare Apple hardware to non-Apple hardware, in which case having Windows there makes zero sense
>>51411927
>he's so bad with computers he doesn't realize the CLI has always been more simple

It's the same when they try to use GNU/Linux.

Windows has the same issue. Honestly, building an OS and not easily allowing people to change desktop environments is a mistake
>oh Windows has a shit file manager, panel, etc.
>nothing you can do
>oh mac os has a shit file manager, panel, etc.
>nothing you can do, or maybe you can run fucking X11 on top of whatever Mac OS uses just to get a shoddy port of a GNU/Linux DE
I imagine at some point Microsoft and Apple will just make their own GNU/Linux distros.
>>51413378
I hate that shit. I did notice near the end of my life on Windows, though, that some part of the ThinkPad Lenovo software allows you to scroll background windows with the TrackPoint.
>>51416359
only flaw with this analogy is that there are objective differences between the things, and as technology enthusiasts it's important to discuss what is the best
unfortunately we get a lot of posters here that don't belong and that leads to posting about Windows and video games all the time (yes, these two problems are definitely related)
>>51417053

I'm at a point in my life where I really distrust a lot of GUI applications because of shit like you said
>on OSX

I fucking hate this shit.
>>51417252
this thread and many of the posters were a part of the vocal minority of Windows users here. If he used GNU/Linux he wouldn't be this retarded. If he regularly used Mac OS, he'd know how to fucking do such a basic thing. Something about Windows just fucks up your brain or something, at least that's what I'd like to believe instead of "most of the population is retarded".
>>51409072
>in Finder
>select folder
>press Enter
>it tries to rename the folder instead of entering it
Why is this allowed?
I get that going to a new OS is something to get used to, but I had an easier time transitioning from Windows to Linux than to OS X.
>>51417648
Because it's how they want it to work. Cmd+O opens the folder/file just like return does in Windows
>>51417648
command up/down works pretty well
down to go into the folder and up to go up a directory
>>51417671
>>51417656
But why is it different?
It's not just different from Windows, it's different from Linux and BSD as well.
Getting used to a new system is one thing. Having to relearn basic operations is not okay. It's annoying.
Having used Windows and Linux my entire life, using Enter to enter folders is naturally embedded in my mind. Cmd+O and Cmd+Up/Down are very different from the simple Enter button. Not to mention pressing one button > pressing two buttons.
>>51417780
HURR WHY DO I HAVE TO LEARNING CURVE HURR WHY AM I THE STUPID ONE FOR HAVING TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I'M USED TO HURR WHY AM I SO DUMB
>>51417780
Because it's how they've done it for over 30 years. They don't have to change it because a different style is more popular.
>>51417787
>shitposting
I never said it was hard to learn it. It's merely a "why should I bother learning it when Linux does what I'm used to, and is capable of more than both Windows and OSX?".
>>51417792
Valid point.
It does make the point of entry higher to some people, because these things are "annoying". But you're right - why change it for the sake of changing it.
Can you customize this behavior?
>>51417811
I've never used it for more than mapping function keys, but OS X has integrated key remapping and I believe it handles keybindings as well
>>51417811
HURR WHY AM I SO DUMB??
>>51409208
uhhhhhh
OSX does cut and past. Just hold option down and "paste" turns to "move". it's actually a genius reinvention of the concept. Because windows users have to make a decision before doing it whether they want to cut or if they want to copy. Mac users just hit copy, and can decide if they want to paste it or move it at any stage of the operation
1. Copy the file/folder ⌘ + C
2. Go to where you want to move the folder/file.
3. ⌘ + ⌥ + V , this moves the file, which is the same fucking thing as cutting and pasting.
4. Kill yourself.
>>51409072
What you meant was
>I'm too stupid to figure out how to cut/paste Files and folders on osx
CMD + ALT + V nigga
>>51417811
>Can you customize this behavior?
If not through System Preferences then you could use Karabiner. Though as far as Finder goes, you should install something like XtraFinder which does improve on what Apple should already offer as standard.
>Linux
Do it yourself!
>Windows
Google it, you'll either find a step by step easy as piss guide to do it, or some handy dandy executable that does it for you!
>OS X
You can't do it!
>>51409072
Instead of Cut and Paste, it's Copy and Move.
I know it's retarded, and it makes zero sense (since "Copy" implies it leaves the old file in place).
press cmd+c to copy
press cmd+v to paste, or cmd+alt+v to move
>>51419331
I find that rather inaccurate. It should be:
Linux: Do whatever you want. If no one has put in enough effort to do it for you, do it yourself.
Windows: Hard to figure out the GUI, and nothing works enough to actually do anything.
OSX: What does Apple want you to do?
>>51421677
I find that rather inaccurate. It should be:
Linux: Do whatever you want, but no one has put in any effort and the GUI is just a OSX clone these days with the same limited system control settings. Mostly doesn't matter though since only idiots use a GUI with linux.
Windows: GUI is a convoluted mess and a joke since 8, but a 10 orders of magnitudes more advanced than anything else past/present/future, if you remember where everything is, anything is doable and just as importantly trainable for non-technical clients.
OSX: Fuck you. Keep consuming.
>>51409102
>No thumbnails
This shit works fine.
In fact, you can even thumbnail video files, which Windows can't.
>>51409072
Just install Windows or Linux.
>>51411597
You can do that in *nix though, you retard. Even if a file is locked, you can forcefully move, delete and rename it. What happens is that the file becomes an invisible hard link.
>>51421923
>In fact, you can even thumbnail video files, which Windows can't.
I thought freetards were supposed to know how to use computers.
>>51422063

>>51422114
All 3 major OS supports video thumbnails in common formats, but any other formats require additional 3rd party software. How fucking retarded are you that you acknowledge it has to be hacked in for one OS but refuse to believe it can exist on other OSs?
>>51422063
no or they wouldn't be using linux.

You can change everything in Windows.
It's just not done, because most people are happy with the functionality of it, so not a lot of software is made to replace Windows environment.
I don't do that anymore, but I used to run my own explorer.exe back in the WinXP days, that would things differently.
But a lot of software exist having for goal to replace existing windows tools. Like TeraCopy which can replace how file copy work in Windows, Process Hacker which can replace the taskmanager, ....
>>51413747
Replace "close" with "minimize" and it works literally the same.

Another example of Apple doing something right that everyone does wrong, and this somehow triggering winfags.
