TorchFS Description

Free filter for your files and folders on the Mac TorchFS is an open source utility that will display your folder structure filtered by your search criteria. This helps to manage large amounts of files.TorchFS works by using Apple’s Spotlight search engine and Google’s MacFUSE user-space filesystem framework. TorchFS creates a Spotlight query and displays the found files in their original folder hierarchy in a virtual filesytem provided by MacFUSE. This way no new folders or files are created on your hard-drive. In fact the files are not touched at all, but TorchFS will display a virtual file alias that will take you to the original file.To start TorchFS just double-click it. It will present some basic system smart folders like “All Documents” along with your own smart folders as TorchFS folder (Please consult you Mac’s help system on how to construct smart folders). If you like you can drag these TorchFS folders to your Finder’s “Places” shortcuts menu for easy access. (In order to see new smart folders in TorchFS you have to restart the TorchFS.app) Requirements: · MacFUSE
