[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1106475, member: 145676"] +1 for pathfinder. It is expensive but here are the file management features I miss from other OSes -Cut and Paste -Customizable context menu -Smart sorting (i.e. put all folders first -> then sort) -tabs -Open With context menu actually useful (shows what can open it, also shows running programs, finally can get to full application menu) -Split file manager - on top of tabs -Cover flow can be used with any view (i.e. list view so I can see the file info and still see the coverflow preview) -Show/hide hidden files with a menu click or hotkey -Shortcuts/favorite menu with drop-down -Dropstack to help operate on multiple files (which is what the OP is complaining about) (It does a whole pile of other stuff but this is the top level stuff that I miss from other OSes) Go get the demo - If you do a lot of file manipulation you'll love it. On the other hand - the Mac paradigm is application centric - all files should be managed through the program that accesses the file. I.E. - iphoto for photos, imovie for movies, itunes for music, Just use the program for the file to manage the file. This goes back to the "use the Mac as intended" - that being said I bought Pathfinder. [/QUOTE]
