carry on then posted:the correct answer is to make app install/uninstall 10x worse to save a few kb of disk space Why can't they just keep track of where all the poo poo goes and put a "remove this app" in some sort of right click menu? Hell, why can't they just keep track of where all the poo poo goes and then REMOVE THAT poo poo when you dump the app into the trashcan?

finder is trash, it's just there to remind you to make a workflow that doesn't involving directly interacting with files

Tiny Bug Child posted:man i hate the columns view ur literally complaining that the columns view is made up of columns and isnt just a list. if u want a list perhaps u should use the list view, which is exactly what ur asking for here. im sorry all of ur issues with the finder are due to you being either a) ignorant or b) extremely stupid.
