Path Finder

This program is what the Finder on Mac should be like. I just downloaded it yesterday, so I haven‘t really had the time to fully test this application, but it looks promising. Tabbed navigation is a major plus. And the path navigator, which you see on top, is a big help. I‘ve explained in another post, how to display the full path in your Finder. Path Finder also has a Quicksilver-like application. The downside is, the focus has to be on path finder to start the launcher. I hope they‘ll change this in another release. Path Finder also allows split window view. Another cool feature is the drop stack which enables you to drag files in the drop stack, go to the desired folder en dan drag and drop the files there. Normally on Mac, when you press return on a file you can rename it. With path Finder, only the return on the numpad is used to rename files. The other return button opens the file with the associated program. It takes a bit of getting used to, but in the end it‘s a logical way of working.

It lacks the abillity to disable closing the app, because I always have the tendency to close all the apps I‘m not currently working in.
