We could basically describe Chikoo as a »file organizer«, that is, it can handle any type of file that is added to the application, add and edit the metadata of the files and even organize files into smart folders and lists. In addition to this you can also easily view the files with Quick Look, it would be something like a cross between Finder and iTunes in certain aspects.
It is especially aimed at users who have a large number of files to manage and therefore sometimes they may not know where they have left a concrete one and get lost browsing, let's see what advantages it has in our daily use.
The first thing that stands out is that in this version 1.0 they have improved the interface compared to previous versions, essentially maintaining the full potential of the application, but giving it a facelift for integrate the aesthetics of OS X Yosemite, which by the way will be essential to run this version of the program. It integrates the familiar sidebar from Finder, with a library structure and lists that we will create in a personalized way.
When executing it for the first time, it will give us the option of looking at a basic tutorial on its website, migrate our lists from versions 0.9x or directly start creating new folders and lists with the »+» button at the bottom. From now on will allow us to organize the files intelligently by different attributes such as Name, Date, Type ..., also with an added criterion in relation to whether the name contains a series of characters for example, that it is equal to another name, a specific type of file, etc ... this sense becomes very complete since we can organize the lists in a simple way or be very precise when creating these lists, having both options at our disposal.
In this way, when we execute it, we will have all the files organized in simple lists by genre, type ... and in other lists intelligently by different attributes, which will allow us to save a lot of time while we will see everything more clearly in a structure of well organized folders. Chikoo is available on the Mac App Store at a recommended price of 20,99 Euros.
