Disabling / Enabling OSX Finder Tabs
18 Jan 2017Here’s to hoping Google picks this up, I couldn’t find it elsewhere:
To tell Finder you don’t want tabs when you open a folder:
$ defaults write com.apple.finder FinderSpawnTab -bool false
To put things back to normal:
$ defaults write com.apple.finder FinderSpawnTab -bool true
To figure out what a particular setting is:
$ defaults read com.apple.finder > ~/before.list
# Make the change
$ defaults read com.apple.finder > ~/before.list
$ diff ~/before.list ~/after.list
