A macOS application designed to recreate the workflow of Finder in Classic Mac OS. It makes many opinionated, non-optional changes, including single click to open files and folders. This was made by a designer with the programming help from google's Gemini-exp-1121 model. If you are worried about the safety of your files, all the code that has been changed from Xcode's boilerplate is contained within ContentView.swift, SpacialFoldersApp.swift and SpatialFolders.entitlements. A swift programmer could read it all in about 10 minutes before trying it out.

###tv# selection mode will be activated by clicking the spacebar. in that mode:
- clicking an item would add it to the selection array, greyscale the sf symbol, and give it a background matching the accent color. clicking it again would undo all of that.
- Rename would become available in the File section of the menubar while just one item is selected. The option turns the item's name into a user input field, the content's of which becomes the item's new name once the enter key is pressed or the item is deselected
- Multiple selected items can be dragged or opened at the same time
- It should say selection mode in the title bar, along with the folder name that is there already
- cmd+n should make a new folder
- I should add a list view, cause it could come in handy
Anything else in classic Finder, because I don't have enough experience with it to know what I'm missing. If you code a solution to a missing feature, please push it my way! Just remember I only accept code written in SwiftUI since that is the lowest level language I know my way around. I'll make small improvements to code quality over time, but I'm not primarily a programmer so the project would need outside help to significantly improve.
