OSX Finder Replacement [Update]

A while back I wrote something about Path Finder as a probable Finder substitute. Well, it's been a couple of months, and I must say that  I'm still using the crappy Apple Finder.

Why? Well, I guess that it kinda grows on you, eventhough Path Finder has 'some' neat features. It just didn't feel like a real substitute. It felt more like an add-on.

So, back to Finder with its little annoyances like;

  • Not being able to move or delete files when the OS is busy creating the thumbnails.
  • No Cut&Paste (⌘-x, -v) in the file system.
  • ⌘-o to open files instead of hitting the Enter-key.
  • Sort folders before files. Not mixing them.
  • Clock/Date format (I want the date also to be visible).
  • Manual refresh option for (share) folders.
  • etc.

I have high hopes up for Snow Leopard. Hope that Finder gets a real good overhaul.
