About
Path Finder is one of the best file managers, with an interface thought out to the smallest detail: the presence of tabs, previewing a document or audio/video files, managing processes, working with archives, installing/uninstalling applications, the ability to change hot keys in the system, convert CD/DVD/BlueRay disk images, two-panel functionality and much, much more.
PathFinder is a replacement for the standard Finder, offering its users such functions as full navigation using the keyboard, built-in FTP client, working with tabs, individually customizing the appearance of folders, convenient search, flexible file selection
The Path Finder interface looks very familiar: the same folders as the Finder, only with the addition of Safari-style tabs and more buttons. The navigation is the same as the Finder, but you can also use additional navigation elements such as tabs or links. Path Finder includes the best elements of the browser, so if you've used Finder and Safari before, you'll feel right at home with Path Finder.
Tabs are perhaps the best graphical element in applications and our file manager is no exception. The Path Finder tabs are very easy to use. Not only can you always see which folders you have open and how easy it is to switch between them, you can also easily drag and drop files between tabs.
Another great feature is tab sets, which are essentially separate, customizable workspaces. This is very convenient, for example, if you are working on a project and need quick access to all relevant folders, applications, downloads. Tab sets store the folders that were last opened.
Drop Stack
Provides temporary storage where files can be located while they are being moved. This simplifies the process of moving files to new directories, for example if you are cleaning out your downloads folder.
The two-pane Explorer view in Path Finder splits the window in half so you can see two folders at once. Very useful when comparing the contents of folders or moving files between folders. Each panel is a separate file browser. You can switch to this viewing mode by clicking on the icon at the bottom left.
Path Finder dual pane view
View switches and sections allow you to display additional information in the browser. By selecting the view switch icon, the screen at the bottom splits in half and displays customizable information about the selected files. Sections do the same thing, but file data appears on the left, right, or bottom of the browser.
Path Finder modules
Path Finder has the ability to filter files by keyword, extension or type (search box at top right). If you want to select files based on a set of parameters, click on the search icon in the toolbar at the top right, enter a search word and click "+" to add search parameters.
Utilities
Path Finder has additional tools to perform some tasks, so you don't have to launch additional programs. Path Finder utilities include: a text editor, a simple image editor, an application launch model, and a file archiver.
