- Please consider adding a new service to Finder in order to quickly be able to add a folder (repo) - or a group of folders.
I'm afraid, due to sandboxing restrictions, this isn't possible. In order to gain access to repo folders, they must be selected using an open-file-selector, of dragged into the list of folders from Finder or some other file manager which supports URL drags. Those are the ways implemented in GItFinder preferences window.
- While the option "Show Dock icon: Never" is selected (and "Show menu bar icon" is enabled), GitFinder's icon still pops-up in the Dock whenever a new GitFinder window is opened. Restarting GitFinder doesn't works.
This certainly sounds like a bug, but I can't reproduce it. Can you reproduce it every time with any GitFinder window (Preferences, License, Repo Browser, Show Changes…)?
Since you're using 1.3b3… Do you work with Git-LFS enabled repositories? If so, do you use GitFinder on them? Have you had any issues regarding that functionality?
Thank you!!

Hi,
I finally have the time to properly evaluate GitFinder as a companion to my workflow (command-line + VSCode), and I'm surprised I like it a lot, like "this could be one of those tools" -- that you end up using all the time without ever actively looking to do so.
That's great, says a lot about it.
That's why I compiled the following list with what I consider quality of life improvements that I want to share with you, and if possible know your thoughts about it:
~1. When adding new repositories, please please please add an optional recursive functionality. I have plenty of repos, some of them sorted hieratically in a folder tree (like "personal" and "work"), and having to add them to GitFinder by hand, one by one, is a real pain -- but moreover I know that in the long run it could be a potential deal-breaker for me. I understand that a feature like this could potentially slow down GitFinder startup: maybe some sort of validation using a list or map to learn what repos are gone and what are the new additions, if any, could be implemented. Maybe I'm talking total nonsense and there's a far better way to do it :)~
I just tried this out of curiosity and the functionality is already there, woo-hoo! 🍩

Otherwise that I'm having a smooth sailing so far.
My sys specs GitFinder: 1.3b3 (52) macOS: 10.14.5
The only other extension I added to Finder is ExpanDrive.
Thanks!
