Path Finder 8.0
- Path Finder 8 is the beginning of total redesign and rewrite of the very powerful file manager. Many things are new, redesigned, improved and fixed, too many to put the whole list here, so we leave it to you to try Path Finder 8 and see what it can do for you
- The big new thing in version 8 are the way modules are organized and used within the new and flexible modules structure. You can put as many modules in a single window as you need, they can be arbitrarily arranged, dismissed, closed and dragged out of the window. They can be assign to either left pane and they are extensively customizable. With new module structure, Path Finder probably becomes the most configurable and flexible Mac application on the market
