When it comes to managing our files, especially when we deal with different file formats, sometimes the Finder may fall short, something that unfortunately is very common in the applications that Apple makes available to us natively. Fortunately, we have great alternatives for almost everything on the Mac App Store.
And I say for almost everything, as long as the applications do not need special permissions to offer some of their functions, since in these cases, the developer is forced to offer them from outside the Mac App Store. If the Finder falls short when it comes to managing our files, in the Mac App Store we have the X-ray Browser application at our disposal.
As its name suggests, X-ray Browser is a file explorer with which we can orOrganize all the files that we have stored on our computer. But in addition, it also shows us a preview of it in the form of a thumbnail, which allows us to organize our photographs in a much easier way than doing a preview of each one of them through the space bar.
It also offers us a series of functions that allow us to automate, as far as possible, the management we carry out with our files. Here are the main features of X-ray Browser:
- Quickly calculate the number and type of files that take up space on your hard drive.
- Calculate the size of folders and subfolders quickly and easily.
- It also allows us to find which folders take up the most space in addition to the largest files.
- In addition, it allows us to find all the files hidden and / or blocked by the system.
- Support to open files / folders directly in Finder.
- From the application itself, we can delete files or folders.
X-ray Browser has a price in the Mac App Store of 3,49 euros, it is compatible with 64-bit processors and requires OS X 10.7.
