Path Finder: More than a Finder replacement
Given the comments and emails I receive whenever I use Path Finder in a demo, it’s clear to me that people are hungry for ways to improve and customize their stock Finder. PF’s appearance in my latest MacBreak has been no exception.
So, for folks that haven’t heard my pimping before or who haven’t been following the recent additions to the inarguably crufty uber-app, here’s a tricked-out Path Finder window, showing the new tab functionality, plus all the optional drawers, tchotchkes, and finials that can be displayed.
For more on why I dig Path Finder, read 7 things I like about Path Finder for OS X. And be sure to check back soon on MacBreak (HD 1080 Podcast feed); Leo and I have a segment on Path Finder that should be airing soon.
Addition 2006-12-28 10:31:43 Neil makes a great point in comments. I have this terrible habit of only ever showing Path Finder with all of its features on, and all its optional frippery enabled. In fact, PF needn’t look like a functional salad bar at all, and the enclosed is closer to how I configure it for my own everyday usage.
Thanks, Neil.

Hi MM~ Thanks for...
Hi MM~ Thanks for making my world a more GTD place!
The thing that intrigues me about the programs you pimp is their hybridization at the meta level. That is, how does kGTD (c’mon OmniFocus!), DevonThink, QS, PathFinder, iCal, etc. fit into your system at the level of integration? Have you sorted out QS to DThink? (Please please please share soon!) How do you sync your ”(D)Think’?
Oh, and what browser do you use? While i love the idea of using ‘services’ from safari (or camino) to say DThink or VoodooPad, the add-ons to FireFox have kept me there (and cocoa is coming for FF3!) How do you surf?
