Path Finder 4

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.

I have been waiting for...
I have been waiting for this for a long time.
PathFinder 3 was really good. It just wasn’t magical. But 4.0 appears to have a whole mess of mojo under the hood and so far I’m in total nirvana – the ability to use the tabs works great, my only complaint is that I can’t seem to set terminal size from the Path Finder terminal.
This is important when my screen(8) sessions are setup using a term size of 48x80, my pine session gets all wonky if I attach to a screen and the terms don’t match.
Path Finder really nails the “create something Apple should include by default” concept. It makes the Finder look like a 2-legged dog with the mange.
You’ll probably want to put the Finder down like Yeller once you use this for a day as well. I love it. I’ll be buying it soon.
