I don’t have TotalFinder installed anywhere so this image came from the TotalFinder website. For $18 you can get quite a few other nice things added into the Finder as well. That’s some very handy stuff for free.Īnother one that even says “brings colored labels back to your Finder” right on the top of their webpage is TotalFinder. XtraFinder does a great job of making icon view color labels bold and easy to see.īeyond those colored labels there’s a very useful Dual Window option in the XtraFinder menu bar that tiles two windows either vertical or horizontal for easy moving between them. That’s nice and viewable labels in list view.

XtraFinder is probably the easiest way to get those list label colors back as this free Finder add-on is very unobtrusive as it doesn’t take over the whole Finder the way Path Finder does. Path Finder makes the icon view labels much better as well. Path Finder rocks and the upcoming version 7 will have Dropbox integration. Path Finder has been a part of Useful Tools for Editors in the past and this just keeps it my favorite go-to tool as a Finder replacement.īig, bright and easy to see. Path Finder does so much it’d take someone smarter than me to list all the amazing features but keeping the colored labels is the thing we’re looking at here. Of course there’s the $40 Path Finder from Cocoatech. Leave it to third party products to get those nice colored labels back and easy to see.
Tagging has been available for years via the awesome Finder replacement Pathfinder but I didn’t use it there either. All I did was notice that the bright, colorful labels that used to be available in Finder list view are now just tiny dots.Įven in icon view the colors are reduced to dots in Mavericks. With Mavericks Apple gave us tagging which might very well be infinitely more useful than just colored labels but to be honest I haven’t really used it. These tiny colored dots just aren’t useful when it comes to quick, at-a-glance, organization. While tags are useful in their own right Mavericks took away the nice, big, easily seen colored labels that we have come to know, love and rely on. Colors are still there but a lot less useful.
With Mavericks, Apple changed this behavior and made these colored labels much less easy to see by removing them entirely in favor of tags.
They were big, bright colors that were easy to identify, especially in list view.

Any readers out there who are using the Mac OS and editing video have probably made good use of Mac OS Finder labels over the years to assign a designated color to a folder, file or group of files for whatever reason one might color anything.
