Path Finder 4 Released

CocoaTech has (at long last!) released Path Finder 4, the much-anticipated follow-up of the popular Finder replacement application.  Path Finder 4 has been in development for over a year and a half and was scheduled to ship in December 2005, but the developers ran into some problems and had to delay its release.

Path Finder is a replacement for OS X’s Finder.  It features numerous customizable commands, shelves and drawers for any sort of information you might want, a very flexible interface, numerous built-in tools such as command-line processing and text editing, and much more.  Version 4 features a redesigned interface, an overhauled engine, and many new features like tabs and a tool to select files based on varying criteria.

A full review of Path Finder 4 is forthcoming.

thinkback

1.

Oh boy! I’m downloading it now.

2.

I’m using it now and one thing that I don’t like is the horizontal nature of preview. I haven’t used this thing long and maybe I’m missing something, but I wish I could place a preview pane on the right side.

In fact, I wish I could put two panes on the right side much like the panes on the left side. I’d put one for Info and one for Preview, on the right.

3.

Ah, there is a drawer on the right side and you can make the two panes in that anything you want.

It’s very weird that they decided to get rid of the drawers on the left and go with the unified UI approach, but leave a drawer on the right side. I’d prefer it to be integrated on the right side too.

4.

Actually, there is a drawer on the left.  You have to reveal it yourself.

I, for one, like the unified approach.  It always makes things look cleaner.

5.

Yes. I’ve actually changed my opinion on this. I like unified with the ability to resize (and move).
