OSX Finder Replacement

This week I heard a tip on one of the TWiT podcasts about a OSX Finder replacement. Finder in OSX is what the Windows Explorer is for Windows. You use it to browse around your PC, copy, rename and launch programs.

Ever since I switched to Mac I encountered a couple of drawbacks on the OSX Finder;

• No Cut&Paste option (CMD-X doesn't work on files)
• Pressing 'Return' on a file is opening the rename 'dialog'. (CMD-O to open files).
• etc.

I know that OSX has the ability to remap keys, so that you can still use the (old) Windows commands/keys, but I like things to be as default as it can be.

Anyway, when I heard about the Finder 'replacement' called Path Finder, I needed to try it. Especially after watching the online demonstration.

You can configure Path Finder to be a replacement for Finder, or you can use it beside Finder. I decided to replaced it. As soon as the evaluation period is over and I'm still using it I will definitely buy this program.

So far things are looking good.

If anyone has different examples of Finder replacements, be sure to drop them in the comments.
