For the past couple months, I've not used the file manager on my mac. It is dead for me.
Not deprecated. Not "less often." Dead.
Every time I want to find, resize, compress, rename, move, cut, paste - I just describe it to my terminal:
claude "organize all the files in this folder by relevance"
claude "rename these screenshots to what's actually in them"
claude "find that pdf from the accountant, the one about quarterly taxes"
claude "compress all images here to under 500kb"
claude "delete all the duplicates, keep the higher quality ones"
claude "convert these to webp, drop the originals"
claude "which of these folders is eating all my disk space"
claude "move all receipts to expenses, name them by vendor and date"
claude "find every file I touched last tuesday"
claude "split this video into clips wherever there's a scene change"
claude "make this pdf searchable"
claude "extract all the images from this pptx"
claude "turn this folder of markdown files into a single pdf, ordered logically"
claude "make this blurry photo less blurry"
