Path Finder 4.0.1 released
January 23, 2006Path Finder 4.0.1 has been posted to our download section and is a free update for all licensed Path Finder 4 users. The main reason for getting this quick update out there is to fix one of the key crashes reported by users. At the same time, we’ve fixed a number of less serious issues (low-hanging fruit, as it were) that were quick tweaks.
If you’re a Path Finder 4.0 user this is highly recommended update.
Here’s a quick list of what’s changed in this version:
- Fixed crash when switching Shelves
- Fixed META key setting for Terminal
- Moved “Open in Tab” in Bookmark menus to the top of the menu
- Fixed an issue where closing the Select or Disk Image windows would prevent clicking elsewhere in Path Finder
- Fixed an issue with the interaction between Path Finder and DragThing
- Fixed a weird issue with the Shelf menu breaking after control-clicking
- Fixed the file list “loop around” feature
- Home / End keys fixed in column view
- Fixed poor quality of image previews in column view
- Improved the French and German localizations, thanks to help from volunteers
One key crash that we weren’t able to fix for this release is one triggered by drag-and-drop operations. The actual bug itself looks like a bug in the Cocoa frameworks we use, and we’re working with Apple to find a fix for this as quickly as possible. A workaround for now is to check “Disable superfluous visual effects” in the General preferences.
If you’re having any issues whatsoever, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with support or check out the Cocoatech forum.
We’re working hard to roll in the improvements and suggestions everyone has passed on to us and you can expect more updates to come out of the Cocoatech lab in the near future.
Thank you!
Neil, Steve, and Miho
