Fave Mac App 3. Path Finder 5
Advertisements
Path Finder is an award-winning file browser and management application for Mac OS X. This is achieved by adding on more useful features to the familiar user interface of Finder.
There are several features that I like to use while using Path Finder:
-
Multiple Tabs Browsing
Sometimes we might need to open multiple Finder window to drag-drop or browse around directories. Using Path Finder, we can combine all these opened windows into just a single window with multiple tabs. -
Temporary Stack
Although the drag-drop technique has become my habit in boosting my productivity in handling files. Path Finder enhances this experience by adding temporary stack where we can have a temporary place for drag-drop process. -
Dual Pane File Browsing
Often, we need to view different folders side by side. And the good news is, Path Finder provides the dual pane browsing ability for us. This feature of Path Finder is just too good to be missed. -
Quick Preview
By default, if we want to show information of certain item on Finder, we will reveal the Get Info pane by hitting keystrokes Cmd-Opt-I.
However in Path Finder, we can just toggle on Preview Mode and we can have all important information the item has. -
Recent Applications
Path Finder can also help us keeping track of up to 50 recent applications.
Even though it's quite pricey for an application, I still recommend using Path Finder. Path Finder really helps a lot in enhancing your Mac experience. For your information, there is 30-day trial provided for this application.

I really love this app! been using it since its first early beta's but the only thing that keeps me going back to finder is that can't replace the finder dock icon and use Path Finders instead. do you know how this would be possible? if so.. high ho high ho back to Path finder I would go.

This App totally rocks, bought it last week and it's really worth it's price (exspecially when you are paying in € ^-^) With Pathfinder you will get rid of one of the few Mac-Problems: the Finder.

I really like Path Finder, awesome app that handles so much butter than Finder. However, there is one thing that annoys the living hell out of me, and it's the fact that when you use the function to replace the Finder desktop with Path Finder desktop, and use the Exposé function to show desktop, then it basically showes the Path Finder desktop aside like it was a window or something, to reveal the empty underlying Finder desktop (since its inactivated)... Totally annoying when you're so accustomed to using this Exposé function... I think that is my only complaint about it really, in all other aspects it totally pwns Finder....
