OS X Lion: To Include A Tab Finder?

As you can see from the above 'Sneak Peak' of Apple's upcoming OS X 'Lion', there are some pretty cool new features coming, such as Mission Control, Full-Apps and Launch Pad. Apple, of course, only showed off a few features of what it claims will be many. What other new features are coming?

Well, one feature that I am hoping to finally see is a tabbed finder, one that gives OS X windows the same type of tabs that you see in today's browsers, and especially like those found in Google's Chrome.

In the meantime, however, whether OS X Lion does or doesn't include this feature or not, you can still have it now thanks to a finder plug in called Total Finder by BinaryAge. You can see Total Finder in action below (German audio) and you have to admit that Total Finder is 'totally cool'!

In conclusion, as cool as having 'tabs' in the finder would be, we don't really know if it will be included in Lion's final release or not, but we can always hope. If not, Total Finder should continue to do the trick. What other features might be also included in Lion's final release, well, I guess, that's something we'll just have to wait and find out, but, boy-oh-boy, I'm really, really hoping that tabs will be among them.


And that's my 2 cents 4 this Wednesday, October 27, 2010
