I replaced the finder with SNAX, named SNAX > Finder and put the finder on the desktop.
When I login every thing is way faster, apps launch faster etc...

Most things don't work like right click or background.

If those missing items are handled by the Finder itself, then you have no choice but to find a different application or go back to using the Finder.

The desktop does indeed work... just go to the "SNAX" menu and select "Show SNAX Desktop"

Hope that helps

I'm not sure about List view, but Column view was definitely slower in Snax than in the Finder. Lots of neat features, however, I prefer the responsive that I experienced in the Finder.

On both of my computers SNAX is with everything faster than the finder.

And I really have the feeling everything is faster... maybe the Finder took cpu time/memory in background


btw, is it possible to delete the "finder" icon from the dock? I did not found a "how to" anywhere

But it doesn't show items on the desktop...or has this been added? I know they were working on it.
