How do you browse a folder with hundreds of thousands of files on a Mac?
I downloaded an old website forum archive and it took hours to extract the zip into a folder. But now that it's extracted, finder is stuck on loading forever. I'm guessing this is because of the massive amount of files. From what I could recall while it was being extracted, most of these were PHP files. How do I smoothly browse this without my MacBook crying in pain
Use an indexing tool like NeoFinder to generate a searchable offline index of the folder or volume. Then you can use the NeoFinder index to find what you want, then right-click on the file and select “Reveal in Finder”
