Path Finder by Cocoatech

The file browser with moxie.

Menubar

Application Menu

  • Set Menu Keys - Path Finder's default keyboard shortcuts can be changed or deleted via this menu
  • Trash - view and delete the trash for each volumes independently
  • Secure Empty Trash - the standard empty trash command simply removes the reference to a particular file (the data is naturally overwritten by newer files), but secure empty trash completely erases the actual data of that file
  • Show Desktop Trash Can - Path Finder can show an classic Mac style trash can

File

  • New Tab - create a new tab within a browser window, just like Safari
  • New Tab set - after opening a series of tabs, save them as a tab set that can be recalled later
  • New File - Create an empty plain text file - optionally a rich text or HTML file can be created which will open within Path Finder's integrated text editor
  • New Terminal - Path Finder has iTerm built-in which can be used just like OS X's standard Terminal app
  • Open - open a file with one of Path Finder's built-in editors
  • Open package - view the contents of a selected package (such as an OS X application)
  • Attributes - change low-level attributes of a file or folder
  • Make Alias - create Mac-style aliases or Unix-style links from a selected file or folder
  • Reports - view compiled reports from various system components

Edit

  • Copy Path - copy a file path in a variety of styles
  • Select - select files within the current directory based on certain criteria

View

  • Sort Ascending
  • Smart Sorting - Sort by type first (application, folder, etc), then sort by the selected criteria (Smart Sorting options can be changed in Path Finder's preferences)
  • Show Color Options
  • Reload - occasionally Path Finder will not update its file list so a manual refresh is necessary
  • Customize Toolbar

Go

Commands

  • Change Extension - multiple files can be selected and their extensions changed simultaneously
  • Secure Delete - overwrites all data belonging to a file making it unrecoverable, rather than simply removing a link to the file and allowing its data to be overwritten naturally as new files are created
  • Email - attach a file to a new email with Apple's Mail
  • Compress with Format - tons of formats to compress with, set the default in Path Finder's Preferences
  • Edit Image - Edit a selected image with the default image editor application (set in Preferences)
  • View as Hex - view a file in hexadecimal format
  • Launch as Root - Launch an application with root (“superuser”) permissions. This allows modification of core system files, among other things. Don't use this unless you know what you're doing!
