      Appreciate your video, great work. It’s just that.. come on you know Clean My Mac is freaking crap. I know you guys need to make some money from the work you put into this videos but „recommending“ this BS somehow counteracts with the knowledge you have and spread.

      Hi, I am looking for a solution on how to sort files by Photos Capture Time instead of Created (it's the time when I exported). I can find this time at file info, but can't sort by it. Thanks.

    A few more suggestions:
    - Under Finder Preferences enable the setting to keep folders on top vs mixed with file names. (Optional for desktop)
    - Under Control Center enable the battery option for control center and hide it for the task bar to remove an icon. Still show up in control center.
    - In the same area customize Date and Time to remove AM/PM and day of week to save more space on menu bar

    I definitively learn a couple of new tricks:
    - A better finder organization
    - Control keys combined with hot corners
    - Dock preferences removing the genie effect and minimize in application
    - Greater spotlight control even if I use Alfred
    - Flux with I use on Windows but didn't know it could be a good option on Mac too
    - Reminding me to use Widgets on desktop :D
    - And many more...
    Thanks!

    TL;DR I approve these Mac Settings (as if my opinion has any weight)
    I was agreeing with all the things until you were said to create your own recents folder; I raised my eyebrow because I use it so much. As soon as I followed your suggestions and suddenly I had a folder that was ACTUALLY more useable than I expected, I hit subscribe and like. Thank you! It isn't very often that I am surprised by the results of "Mac Settings That ACTUALLY Make A Difference". I sincerely mean this when I say it, great job on providing suggestions that are actually useful and that feel like a fresh perspective 👆🏼❤

    • @ChristianBarresi

      Do you have a purple "Recents" folder within the Smart Folder? When I created mine, it showed up in there and it's basically an unclickable placeholder.

    Amazing video. The way you flowed from one thing to the next and the Mac was setup so you could make the change in real time for the viewer to see had took have taken some time to get right. That was great. I see so many videos where the changes are already made. Here you see the before and after all in real time. Very nice job!

Its connected to my computer and external hard drive clean my mac can even delete all your double files in your hard drives.
