Path Finder is a file browser for Mac OS X. Path Finder is similar to the Finder, but it also puts an Aqua user interface on many powerful Unix tools for operating on files. Path Finder also has a well-designed user interface for viewing and navigating your hard disks.
Here are some key features of "Path Finder":
Access frequently-used folders and files: The Shelf gives you quick and easy access to applications, files, and folders.
New! Fast File Search: Utilizing new Mac OS X searching technology, Path Finder 3 helps you find your files faster and more effectively than before.
New! Simple File Sharing and Networking: Path Finder 3.2.1 now has a completely brand new and improved Connect to Server feature, which makes connecting to remote servers and computers a snap.
“Pause” drag-and-drop operations: Drag some files or folders to the Drop Stack, and drag them out when you need them.
Action Menu button: access contextual menus from the menu bar
Document menu button: Superfast access to folders inside of your Documents folder from the menu bar
Process and Volumes drawer: View currently running applications and mounted volumes in a convenient file browser drawer.
Improved! Reports: Generate information-filled reports detailing all kinds of esoteric information about your files, directories, fonts, and system.
Add Icon Previews: Turn an image’s icon into a small thumbnail preview for easier file identification
Label your files and folders: set colors to visually organize your files
Securely delete files for maximum security
Open any file with any application: from a menu or from within a file listing
Connect to computers on your network: just like Apple’s Finder
View invisible files and inside file packages
Navigate through file paths quickly: the Path Navigator allows you to “jump up” folder levels in your hard drive quickly.
Endless customization: Want brushed metal? Want aqua? Sick of Lucida Grande? Want green text on black for your file listings? Path Finder is completely customizable in ways that other file browsers can only dream of.
Limitations:
Complete demo for 21 days.
