Cocoatech: 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.

Under normal circumstances, I would say yeah, why not reduce the price, make it free, since there is a lot of unnecessarily expensive software out there (BBEdit, I'm looking in your direction). But I've used PathFinder on a regular basis and I have to say, it is worth the $30. I used to have a license of PF 3 (I lost it when I did a fresh install of Tiger, dagnabbit), but I'm definitely going to pay for PF4. It's a power user's version of Finder (hence my reluctance to agree with the notion that Apple should put similar functionality in Finder) and is worth every penny.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
