Easyfindmac11/21/2023 ![]() You're up against corporate behemoths fighting in their huge sandbox. Switch to a different file sharing protocol. They've been incredibly disruptive, unstable, surface-level and again, mostly centered around marketing. Which is kinda true if you know the deep history of Apple's major backend changes over the past 10 years, or the history of technologies like SMB and how Apple begrudgingly adopts it without adapting their proprietary technologies to it. Therefore, according to them, you're ridiculous for even expecting it. They've never advertised it to you as working on a network drive. It works for grandpa and grandma on their local hard drives. You're dealing with wherever the wind takes Apple. If you're gonna be a sysadmin for a Mac environment you need a reality check. Oh, wait.įirst of all, you pay the same pricetag as anyone else. Just leave something on Apples issue tracker, I'm sure they'll get right back to you. ![]() This seems terribly broken to me, though. My current plan is to build an automator functionality to search. I am assuming that the native share off Catalina is already optimized for mac/mac communications. I have tried the vfs_fruit extensions on the NAS, no effect. We're willing to purchase a mac server, anything, to try and fix this. Is there a way to have a central repository of files, shared to multiple mac users, and have the finder search return quickly with a scan of the directory names, like ls | grep does in the terminal? I can see the problem on a share hosted from a Catalina client, as well as shares on our NAS. If the same search is done in the terminal with ls | grep it's basically instant.Ĭan anyone help suggest a solution to this problem? My users want to use Finder as their workflow, not a third party alternative. Searching in Finder is VERY slow, several minutes to check a few thousand files. The problem I have is with searching them on a OSX client. The latest OSX release appears to have fixed the slow browsing problem on SMB shares.
