Turn off File Size display to speed Finder list views
May 24, '01 02:45:55AM • Contributed by: kingdom_of_e
in Finder list view (i searched and didn't see this, so if it's a repeat i apologize...), turn OFF "Show File Sizes" for the Global List View. As all Cocoa applications are now packages, meaning they're actually directories, this is the same as turning off "Calculate file sizes" in the OLD finder and foregoing the minutes it would take to go through each folder, calculate the size, then go to the next folder, calculate THAT size, etc etc. It's equally slower (if not slower) in X.

calculate folder sizes
I've actually found that calculate folder sizes is dramatically faster under MacOS X than under MacOS 9
re: calculate sizes
Actually, when I first turned it off, I noticed that the calculate sizes check box automatically unchecked (and I believe it had been gray before?). In any case, after rechecking the sizes box calculate sizes is still unchecked, and since I don't view lots of packages/apps this works for me... |
