Product Description:

In the Finder there's a command "Clean up", which can be used to position the icons of a Finder window (in Icon view) in a regular grid. But the distance between the icons is very large under Mac OS X, much larger than under classic MacOS. Under Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) the distance is even larger than under Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar), which makes this feature often almost useless because of the waste of space.
The application Tidy will solve these problems. Tidy will also tidy up the icons, like the Finder, but it is much more powerful. With Tidy you can configure the horizontal and vertical distance between the icons in a wide range. Also there are several different grids, you can select how many columns of icons will be used. You can even move all sub folders to the top followed by all other icons, so all folder can be reached more easily (no more searching for a certain folder which is burried in tons of other files).

What's new in this version:

  • Added a second mode where Tidy will only arrange the icons of the top Finder window.
  • Tidy is now completely rewritten as Cocoa application and is now Universal Binary (its running natively on PowerPC and Intel Macs).

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 or higher (Universal)

Tidy ReviewNo Finder Support - Version: 2.0, 6/30/2007 03:36PM PST

Right. Doesn't work in the Finder. Useless to me - the Finder is the only place I use icon view. If it does, somehow, work in the Finder the author didn't bother to explain how.

Tidy Troubleshooting ReportDoes it work on the desktop? - Version: 1.1, 3/22/2004 01:17PM PST

How can I get Tidy to clean up the desktop itself? (Or can I?) Running it for the desktop foldr has no effect on the actual desktop.

Tidy ReviewClean up without sort...I'm happy! - Version: 1.1, 3/21/2004 01:29PM PST

The 1.1 update adds the ability to tidy items to the new grid spacing without using any sorting/arranging options. It's now fully useful to me!
