ForkLift
There are several apps which I come back and forth and deciding if it fits into my usage pattern.
ForkLift is one of them.
The first thing to intrigues me in using it is the 2 panel display. I've been grown up from the DOS and Norton Commander is my preferred way of file manipulation. There are several offering of apps on the Mac platform that enable this but I like ForkLift in several way.
First, I can create "Groups" on the left panel. For instance, I can crete a new group for work and drag all work folder as a short cut. Then, there's a built-in app delete tools. I can remove application that I no longer needed easily. Also, the lower panel provides information that I need at times, one of them is the size of the folder. And the integrated "Connect" capability let me transfer file to my remote server in the same application.
Yet, there are some features which I want. I use terminal a lot, and I hope there's a short cut to let me open a terminal and change location to there. Alternative, it would be nice if they provide a shortcut key to copy the filepath.
I've mentioned I like the "Connect" option but I couldn't find a protocol that I used a lot - SAMBA. When I need to connect to the SAMBA share, I need to do it in Finder and switch it back to ForkLift.
I've found it can be bought in a discount from MuPromo. Go check it out.
