Overview: 

TotalFinder works like the original Finder but adds tabs, dual panel, folders on top and other useful features. TotalFinder is an add-on which gets loaded into the Finder when you launch TotalFinder.app. It does not modify your Finder files on the disk. It modifies the current instance of Finder running in memory. It works similar to SIMBL plugins which you may know from other programs. However, TotalFinder is a standalone application and is not dependent on SIMBL and should work reliably alongside other SIMBL applications.

Main Features: 

        a)Tabs feature

           - TotalFinder tabs display multiple directories within one window. TotalFinder uses the code from Google's Chrome web browser, which is why the tabs look and behave in a similar way.

           b) Dual Mode

          - Dual mode is a special mode where TotalFinder displays two Finder windows side-by-side. It is a view similar to what can be seen in classic dual-panel file managers. This is handy in situations when you want to easily move files from one panel to the other.

          c) Folders on top

          - By default Finder does not separate folders and files and displays them mixed together as you can see on the left.

          - However, some users prefer to see folders first and then files regardless of the actual sorting options.

          d) Show system files

        - By default Finder does not display hidden (system) files.

        - TotalFinder adds a keyboard shortcut to toggle display of these files without the need to restart Finder.
