AltTab doesn't list a Finder window after launching; it shows it after opening another tab and closing it #2908
Comments
It is most likely #1324 |
I think it is a different issue. |
Hey @oniatsu, Could you please clarify which window you're looking for? If you're looking for the Finder app, it's blacklisted by default. You can remove it from the blacklist in Preferences > Blacklists, if you want to see it. If not, could you please share a video of the issue, and step by step on how to reproduce? Thank you |
@lwouis As it turns out, it did not seem to be an application problem. What I was looking for: display of the Finder window (not the Finder app). Before the operation, I Reset the settings. I hadn't noticed, but as you said, Finder was specified in Blacklist. I am not sure why, but at this point there seems to be no problem, so I am fine with the issue remaining Closed. |
@lwouis How to reproduce
Workaround
I suspect that there is a bug in the part of AltTab that gets the Finder window at open. |
Hi @oniatsu, Is the window fullscreen? Fullscreen window create another Space, so that would explain things. Could you please post a video showcasing the issue and the workaround you mention? Thank you 🙇 |
This is the video recording of the reproduction procedure.

Hi @oniatsu, Thank you for sharing more information. I can't reproduce what you show on the video. I've spent hundreds of hours investigating that type of window detection. I'm very surprised that AltTab would miss a window which is not on another Space. You're not on a macOS beta, and you're using the latest version of AltTab. I don't know what to do to investigate this issue, since it doesn't happen on my side. Is there anything more you could share that could be a clue as to what is going on? I'm afraid with the current level of information, I don't know how to investigate further. Thank you 🙇 |
@lwouis Thanks. It is the behavior of other apps, and there are some behaviors that are either quite too indirect or of some concern. It will be hard to be helpful, but I will share it just in case.
I have created a window switcher application for macOS myself, and I know a little bit about macOS's API's that are quite quirky about window acquisition. If I notice anything else that needs to be shared, I will add it again. |

Therefore, switching to Finder window is not possible.
I have not been able to confirm from which OS version or app version it can no longer be displayed.
It used to be displayed before.
