August 15, 2006

We're happy to announce the availability of Path Finder 4.5. If application updates could have themes (and why not?) the theme for this update would be You asked for it. Path Finder 4.5 is chock-a-block full of new features and improvements that were specifically requested by Path Finder users, and we think you're going to like it.

What's new in Path Finder 4.5

Some of the new features in Path Finder 4.5 include:

Undo Support
Move, copy, and send to trash operations are now easily undone via a menu item or keystroke.

Superuser Mode
The ability to temporarily elevate the user's permissions to superuser is now intergrated throughout Path Finder. Moving, copying, deleting, saving, and renaming files are just a few of the file operations that can be performed in superuser mode.

Labels editor
You can now edit label names and colors via Path Finder's new Labels editor

Multiple Shelves
Path Finder 4.5 reintroduces the ability to define, save, and switch between multiple Shelves.

Reload File Listing
Path Finder now has a reload button which forces file listings to refresh. This works around an issue where OS X may not automatically refresh changes to the file system.

Performance enhancements
There has been extensive improvements to Path Finder performance, including launch time as well as overall application responsiveness.

Check out the complete list of changes.
