Just found this cool tiny helper app: Syntax Highlight. It enables #syntax highlighting in #macOS's #quickview! I was actually just searching for sth that would enable the preview of #yaml files. Now I can preview pretty much any code file directly in #Finder/ #PathFinder 馃槉馃憣
Well, by accident I spotted a 1998 file named Greg Bear's Pep Talk.doc in Time Machine on my Mac and decided to use #Finder to find it.
Nope.
After plenty research on how-to, some Apple, some Stack Exchange etc., I've come to the conclusion that Finder #Search is broken. It won't find the file even if it is the default directory for the search, and certainly not when searching This Mac.
I found a tip to use Spotlight (I have Tahoe installed). #Spotlight actually works like a charm, finding by the time I typed the b in Greg Bear. What gives, #Apple? Are you abandoning Finder Search?
