Finder and After Effects not available

[stormer]

Hi,

For some reason Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere nor the Finder show up as options when I alt tab to select a different application, whilst other Adobe applications are fine. Interestingly what sets these two Adobe applications apart from the rest is that they both use workspaces that utilise 2 monitors (as does the Finder I guess).

I'm running MacOS Catalina (10.15.7)

The After Effects issue is already tracked here: #647

However, the Finder is something no-one has reported before. Could you please share a video to showcase the Finder issue especially? It would help a lot understand. Reading your text description, I'm not sure what the issue is exactly.

Thank you! 👍

Hey, thanks for getting back to me on this. Thanks for the AE issue, I'll take a look at that later. With regard to the Finder issue, I've uploaded a screen recording here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cmru1av1vj48n45/altTab.mov?dl=0 As I was in the process of recording it using QuickTime, I noticed that QT too wasn't showing up in the list of applications when I use altTab. So at 00:07 you'll see that neither the Finder icon nor the QuickTime icons are showing up - only Firefox, TextEdit and Chrome. At 00:14 you can see that QuickTime is running Anyhow, let me know if that video answers your questions. Many thanks and cheerio

Oh! You have a very custom layout to show only the app icons. I thought you were using the built-in macOS app switcher for a minute there.

Could you please share your preferences? You can simply share a screenshot of this tab in the preferences:

@stormer it seems the image as an email attachment doesn't work on Github

Well, you have actively decided to not see apps with no open windows, so AltTab is obeying that:

Please uncheck that box if you want to see apps with no open window.

Thanks for getting back to me on this. That makes total sense but even with the "Hide apps with no open window:" check box deselected, it doesn't show After Effects, despite AE having open windows.

This ticket mixes 2 very different issues. It seems that the Finder issue is solved for you. I'd like to refer you to this clarification I shared previously.
