Switching Finder Windows Right to Left Emulating a Dual Panel File Browser

Attention with Forklift. It is still unable to handle Finder comments:

  • In Forklift you cannot attach a comment to a file/folder (⌘I; tags work fine)
  • If you copy/duplicate a file with Forklift the previously attached comments (e.g. via Finder) are gone

I’ve sent a bug report about this to binarynights in 2017, and they have acknowledged the issue.

But, with Forklift 3.3.4 it still seems to be unaddressed. So, strictly spoken, FL is not macOS compatible.

Of course, if you never use comments, this will not be an issue. However, for an app that works on Finder level, I would expect that it makes use of the most basic functions of the available frameworks.
