Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Cover flow missing - Mojave Gallery is no replacement?

Why would Apple replace Cover flow with gallery? They are different

1st - Cover flow was a fast and informative method of scrolling thru visual files quickly as images, while also viewing a list of data below. I could see any data I wanted, dates, sizes, and critical COMMENTS that I make with all my files. As I work I NEED to see that data when scrolling thru images!

2nd - I Prefer the vertical nature of Cover flow because I could open multiple narrow windows, and nest them beside one another. I cannot open multiple windows of Gallery and do the same, inefficient use of screen space and lack of data.

3rd - And worst - Gallery does NOT support mouse scrolling??? due to the horizontal nature of the gallery file list.

Horrible design

PLEASE BRING BACK COVERFLOW !! Add it in addition to Gallery for those of us who depend on it for our work

macOS Mojave (10.14), coverflow gallery

Absolutely infuriating. This seriously impacts my ability to do my job and has crippled my performance. I do MASSIVE data ETL's (extract, transform, load) and after each job, two .csv files are produced with "Successes" and "Errors" and having the cover flow allowed me to keep the list sorted by last modified date to group each "report" that was used with the outputted success and error files and then "preview" what the data was for, and what the errors were. Cover flow made very quick and easy to find what I needed. Now...I gotta either use gallery which, AWESOME it's in alphabetical order, thanks for making that completely unhelpful and useless, or the three column view which groups it alphabetically THEN by last modified, again completely unhelpful and useless. I'm now forced to open multiple files in Sublime Text or OpenOffice to find what I need to be able to effectively do my job.

Give us back cover flow; it's critical for not only my job, but many others that are in a similar job role/function. Look at the list of files I now have to either guess or OPEN unnecessarily until I find the file I need again.
