Snow Leopard, the Slow Finder, and Path Finder
I don't know about the rest of you, but the Finder on Snow Leopard is extremely slow for me. I was seriously considering downgrading to Leopard, but the exchange support keeps me on Snow Leopard. As I was browsing the forums, I found a post that mentioned Path Finder . I had forgotten about Path Finder. I tried it back when I was using Tiger, but it seemed overkill for my needs. My frustrations with the current Finder led me to give it another try. Oh my goodness! Finally, quick, efficient file browsing! Even network shares are extremely fast. For anyone suffering with Snow Leopard's Finder, give Path Finder from CocoaTech a try. It makes my Mac a joy to use again. For all the KDE users out there, all the nifty utilities and features of Path Finder make me think of the konqueror file browser. It includes dual-pane browsing, tabs, a terminal drawer that opens to the current directory, recent folders/documents list, and more. Check it out if you have time. Once nice
