Path Finder 4 available
Merlin Mann | Jan 16 2006
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. 24 Comments

I understand that each person’s perspective on pricing is a contextual, market-driven, often very personal viewport, and I do respect the desire to go with free and very inexpensive software for any variety of good reasons. But thirty dollars to remake your entire Finder/Desktop experience over the dilapidated state in which it arrives out-of-the-box from Cupertino? Please. Maybe all this Big City Living has made me soft and a little loose in the wallet, but, Jeez. That just doesn't seem like a lot of money for a really feature-packed Finder replacement. To paraphrase (errr…butcher) jwz's quote on Linux, Path Finder is only expensive if your sanity has no value. ;-) » POSTED IN:
