Finder Replacements/Supplements

Path Finder logo in Black & WhitePath Finder

Publisher: CocoaTech
Price: $35
Version: 4.8.2

I used this as a Finder replacement with OS X 10.4. With my recent upgrade to Leopard I haven’t made it a permanenet Finder replacement yet so I can see what the new Finder has to offer. I wrote about Path Finder in January 2007 and covered the 4.8.2 release.

Leopard Compatibility: Version 4.8.2 included some Leopard fixes and added support for QuickLook and allowed Path Finder to be configured as a Finder replacement.
