Good but a few issues

I like this utility. It puts Finder windows (and navigation) in the menubar and offers a great alternative to the standard way of doing things. There are some problems though. The biggest one so far is search. If I search a folder it only finds contents in the parent folder I’m viewing and not the sub-folders inside it. This is a real deal-breaker for me. What’s the point of searching just the parent folder?

Another very annoying issue is how the preference pane resizes. As you click the preference options the window resizes from the bottom and not the top as is standard in all Mac apps. This is a silly and meaningless deviation from the standard Apple Interface Guidelines and the only purpose it serves is to make the app stand-out in a negative way.

Another huge problem is the price. The developer wants $30 for a simple utiltiy which is essentially a finder window in the menubar. I know a lot of good thinking and work went into making the app but if this were priced at $4.99 instead this could be an App Store front page item, now it’s just an overpriced utility that few people will buy. That’s too bad since it is very well done in most other ways.

Hi Verdulo! The Settings window now resizes from the top instead of the bottom. Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Does not open

Presumably, I downloaded the program to see if I should buy the pro version, but, when I press open, Nothing happens. It also does not show in downloads folder

Developer Response ,

Sorry you are having problems. File Cabinet Lite is a menu bar app so when you launch it you will see its icon appear in the menu bar instead of the dock like standard apps. For customer support please reach out here: https://apptyrant.com/contact/
