Cover flow missing - Mojave Gallery is no replacement?

Still sending feedback everyday.

If Microsoft haven't got a version of Cover Flow in Explorer, they will do soon to take advantage of this situation.
Has anyone found a free alternative to Cover Flow yet?

Mojave without cover flow is useless for me.

Then why did you install it? If apps are important to you you should investigate their compatibility with any major upgrade such as an operating system.

Bob, like I'm sure sammler and many others did, I intensely investigated Mohave, before installing it. The problem is that today's operating systems are so complex that you can't know everything about it, till you have used it for days or even weeks. So in my investigation, I focused my attention on possible changes in Mohave that were both "within reason" and that I knew might impact my work. I found none.

But the reason why I didn't learn that Cover Flow was missing, before installing Mohave, was that never in my craziest nightmares, could I image that Apple would eliminate such a useful tool. Who would have thought that a company like Apple would do something so absolutely regressive? Since that possibility was one that wasn't "within reason", I and I'm sure many others, didn't look for it.

If I had known that Cover Flow was missing, I would most definitely NOT have installed Mohave. Now, although I have not made a firm decision, I'm seriously considering the ramifications of downgrading, in order to get Cover Flow back. (BTW, PathFinder's replacement for Cover Flow is jumpy and erratic and loads previews way too slowly.)

Thanks, dialabrain. I'll try that. I already uninstalled Pathfinder. But I'll re-install this evening, when I have time and try your fix. I've used Pathfinder in the way distant past. But eventually, most of why I used it was included in the Finder. I hope this fix helps. I really NEED Cover Flow. I'll shoot 300 to 400 photos today, but I'll only use about 50. I don't shoot them in the order that they will go into my report. So I need to be able to scrub through them very fast and there is no faster way to scrub through that many photos than with Cover Flow - but only if Cover Flow works smoothly. Thanks, again.

I'm so mad. I just switched to Mojave and feel like I'm back in the dark ages trying to find photos. So aggravating. I wish I never bought this new computer at this point. I might end up going back to my old one running SNOW LEOPARD! I WANT AND NEED COVER FLOW!

I just upgraded to Mojave. I wish I had seen your post before I did. I manage a large photo collection on my Mac and used Cover Flow numerous times each day. The current "view options" in Mojave are clunky and require several steps to perform simple tasks.

If anyone else out there would like to bring back Cover Flow please make your voiced known.

As a professional photo retoucher, Cover flow is absolutely essential. I need to fan through maybe 200 images at a time.. checking positions or looking for something. Without it would cost me time and money. I know the techs at Apple sit around all day dreaming up changes.. that's their job. Instead of making it faster or actually improving our Macs, they change things that we usually don't want or need changed. Adobe photoshop does that too. I have many devices. I uploaded Mojave on my Laptop but will NEVER NEVER change it on my desktop. I don't use dark mode and there is no point to the little things... So LISTEN UP APPLE.. PUT THE COVER FLOW BACK and if you do changes, let them be optional. why don't you ask us artists and people who spend more hours on their Macs than anywhere else what we want before your techs do frivolous crap Like the Gallery view.. USELESS! makes no sense to use icons below.. if we have 100 images and folder, you can't see then all or find them.

I have just upgraded to Mojave and if I had known about this I would not have done it. I am mortified to have lost this feature. I do a lot of photographic work and use cover flow on a daily basis. This has ruined my day. Just unbelievable.

i know! I'm convinced Apple and Adobe techs like to change things just for the sake of earning a pay check.. I always test new operating systems on my laptop i only use for travel.. so glad I did. without cover flow I would be lost! They are idiots!

And before everyone starts on, yes I have complained straight to apple and I probably will have to get pathfinder even though a few people have said its a poor relation. I think when you first realise that cover flow is missing and youve tried all the options and think there must be something I can do, put it into google this forum thread comes up pretty high and so in your state of distress its quite a comfort to find that so many others are thinking the same thing and so you add your comments too. Thank you to everyone for that. At least I can see others are thinking the same.

Is it gone!!?? 😠 Why would they get rid of cover flow? I have loved that feature since it appeared on the iphone 3g!! Apple needs to bring this back for sure

agreed, Bring it back,

Agree! Gallery does not replace Cover Flow. Bring back Cover Flow and let me know when its back Apple! Im heading back to High Sierra.

Apple is not here so they may not get in touch.
