Path Finder 4 available
Merlin Mann | Jan 16 2006
I'm very happy to share that PathFinder 4 is now out and available for download at Cocoatech's site. I've been beta-testing this badboy for a couple months now and can happily confer upon it my official okey-dokey. It's one badass Finder replacement that power-users will find pretty foxy. I may try to do a longer review in the next week or four, but I wanted to be sure and spread the word -- the tabs, the search/filter by string, the improved interface widgets -- dang, there's a lot to like here. Turn on as many or as few of the drawers as you need, and make yourself a happy little MacBatcave. Life inside a single Finder window is closer than ever. Great work, guys. Be patient if the Cocoatech site is a bit slow -- I predict people are going to be downloading and buying the crap out of this. 24 Comments

 I once bought Path Finder...Submitted by Kilian (not verified) on January 17, 2006 - 6:23pm.
I once bought Path Finder 3 and loved it, but I also found it quite annoying that it wouldn't replace the Finder completely. I.e. every time I'd click on a folder I put in the Dock the OS X Finder would pop up. I always wondered whether there was a way to get around this behaviour... In the end I used PF less and less and ever since I became a LaunchBar junkie (http://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/) I have to say that I'm not really using the Finder often enough to get annoyed by it. Most of the things I'm doing are done via LaunchBar nowadays and when I tried Path Finder, I found it a great tool, but in the end my paradigm has shifted so far away from using mouse based browsing of folders, that any point and click Finder is the same to me, because in the end most of the time I find myself typing away and all is well. » POSTED IN:
