Path Finder 8: Modules (over)load, now in 2018.Įverything about modules is new inside and out.

With the new module structure, Path Finder probably becomes the most configurable and flexible Mac application on the market.

This flexibility and configurability gives you endless possibilities to organize your windows and working space. Finally, you can extensively customize every module with a lot of visual and functional settings. You can choose from more than twenty different module types. You can assign each module to either left pane, right pane, or both. You can drag them from one window to the other choosing to move or copy a module. You can dismiss or drag them away when you don’t need them any longer. You can arbitrarily arrange them anywhere around browsing view of your single or dual pane. You can put as many modules in a single browser window (or “Get info” window/inspector) as you need. Not in Path Finder 8! It sports a completely new and flexible modules structure. Still, those modules were pretty much static and fixed to a place. Even older versions had modules in window drawers. The old version had bottom and right shelves (plus the sidebar), each of them could accommodate four modules. As you probably know, modules aren’t anything new to Path Finder. All other news in this version revolves or are somehow related to modules. The big new thing in version 8 is modules and the way they are organized and used. Hence, Path Finder 8 is the right balance (we believe) between new and old.

We needed to still offer some new nice features in order to attract loyal users to upgrade and new ones to purchase.

No, we aren’t Apple (think first release of Final Cut Pro X and all the rage it caused in usually firmly loyal user community), we wouldn’t survive that either. We also couldn’t appear with completely redesigned and new application, which would lack many of its previous features people become so fond of. Not to mention many loyal users would probably abandon the application, getting tired and frustrated over everlasting wait for the new version. That would take us many years considering application size and resources we have and we probably wouldn’t survive that long. We couldn’t just start redesigning and rewriting everything from scratch. However, Path Finder is too large and complex to bring it there in just one step. Introducing version 8! It is our attempt to give Path Finder new shine, get it out of its adolescence and bring it into its twenties.
Path Finder 5: Drawers and CoverFlow, the very first 3rd party application having it, back in 2008. But with the latest macOS updates we have finally come to the inevitable going back to the drawing board and give Path Finder the proper overhaul it needed for a long time. We tried to postpone it as much as we could in a passionate desire to offer yet a few new features, so we kept patching and finding workarounds for unsupported and obsolete stuff. The moment of imminent redesign and rewrite was getting closer. With each major release of macOS, the application was getting more lines of obsolete code, deprecated APIs and officially unsupported features. In this constant race for more features, while becoming more powerful and rich, Path Finder was also becoming increasingly aged. And we were adding more and more… Until we couldn’t keep doing it that way any longer. We got ourselves into a constant drag race between features people wanted and those we could implement in a given time. People were asking for more and we were delivering more. During all those years, Path Finder was becoming more powerful, functional, configurable and feature rich. The name was clearly telling people what the application did (and we also got tired of the old SNAX name as well).
This popular feature led to a name change, hence Path Finder. SNAX 1: List view was the only option back in 2001.Īnother nice feature people immediately liked was the Path Navigator (later transformed into both clickable and editable path bar).
