Backdrop Folders is a software that can be added to Finder and used as a companion for Expose. It helps users to organize and manage their files effectively and efficiently.
Furthermore, these views remain visible even when you reveal the desktop with Expose. This allows you to pick a file or to do a drag-and-drop operation swiftly and with zero hassles. This is in contrast to the time-consuming and potentially irritating process of continuously shifting between the Finder and your file system hierarchy.
The key features of Backdrop Folders are customized workspaces, auto-resizing, fully customizable views, and drag and drop functions. The app allows users to work with transparency, colors, icon size, and text size as well. Users also have the option to display or hide hidden files. The best thing about this app is its auto-resize feature that ensures all content is viewable, regardless of its size.
This app takes advantage of Panther's "kernel event notification mechanism," which means that the views are directly notified when a file is created/moved/renamed/deleted. As a result, if you create a file from the Terminal, the view will update in real-time, providing a smooth experience devoid of any delays.
In this release, the app has introduced new features like a button to go up a level and the replacement of the close button with a disc. Overall, Backdrop Folders is a powerful app that enhances your file management workflow and makes it more efficient.
