![]() To tell Default Folder X to go back to using the Finder instead of Path Finder, just replace ‘’ with ‘’. Note that if you’re using the Setapp version of Path Finder, you should replace ‘’ with ‘-setapp’. If you’d rather make this apply only to Default Folder X, you can set Default Folder X’s “fileViewer” preference in Terminal with this command: defaults write 5 fileViewer Using Path Finder instead of the Finder – but just for Default Folder X Now you can set up all apps to be hidden after 5 minutes (or whatever) in one fell swoop by using these commands in Terminal:ĭefaults write hideWhenIdle 1ĭefaults write minutesUntilHide 5 App Tamer already offered an option to hide particular apps after they’d been idle for a certain amount of time, but if you wanted that to apply to all applications, you had to turn the feature on for every app individually. This release also includes the “inverting” of an existing feature to fill the niche left by the demise of the app Hocus Focus. And there’s a fix to App Tamer’s high-cpu-usage-detection warnings so that if some helper process (like one of Safari’s web content renderers) uses lots of CPU, App Tamer tells you to limit Safari’s CPU usage to fix the problem, rather than complaining about the helper process itself. ![]() Some UI inconsistencies have also been fixed, including small changes to the text color and font size used in App Tamer’s icon in your menu bar. Specifically, App Tamer’s Force Quit command, which you can get to by Control-clicking on any app in the process list, now ensures that the app is terminated even if it’s being very uncooperative. Version 2.6.5 of App Tamer is available, sporting fixes for a few things that have come to my attention since the last release. Posted in App Tamer, Tips | No Comments » There a complete list of all the changes in version 2.7.6 on the App Tamer release page, along with links to download the new version. If you still get choppy audio, try setting the limit for your browser even higher, or consider turning off “Slow down this app” in your App Tamer settings for it. This should reduce the possibility that audio or video will stutter when the browser’s not frontmost. ![]() In addition, the default throttling setting for common web browsers has been changed so that they’re allowed 10% CPU usage when they’re in the background, rather than 2%. Whoops – now my “Book” shortcut looks pretty stupid □. That was fine when the model identifiers were things like “MacBookAir10,1”, but then Apple released the 2022 MacBook Air with a model ID of “Mac14,2”. Prior to this release, it actually looked for “Book” in the model identifier of the machine to determine whether it should look for a battery. App Tamer now correctly recognizes all battery-powered Macs. ![]() In addition to this change, App Tamer 2.7.6 also improves its user interface in a number of little ways – everything from making buttons more obvious to smoothing out the animation used when its window opens.Īnd functionally, there are a couple of important fixes. It’s been a common request for quite a while, so I’m finally relenting – let’s hope my worries are unfounded and it doesn’t cause trouble for anyone. Nevertheless, for those that understand it, sorting by something other than “% Avg” (average CPU usage) is helpful. And they won’t know how to get it back to doing that. If they accidentally click on a column header without realizing it, the list will no longer be showing the most CPU-hungry apps at the top. I’ve hesitated to add this because I worry that it may cause confusion for some people.
