I remember talking about it and at least temporarily kept it from getting eliminated. Appreciated that. I don’t remember the RFE. Google com.apple.eio.FileManager 2020 19,300 hits. How many are active current actual uses I don’t know. I have a sort of involved workaround I will go ahead on. Up to you if you think there’s not enough use left to continue providing it. But it is not internal if that’s why it’s gone.
