A must have for every switcher (and probably for everybody who wants to be productive with files). I think that there are some de facto rules when it comes to file managers in different operating systems. Dos -> Norton Commander, Windows -> Total Commander, Linux -> Midnight Commander. I really think that Forklift could be the de facto file manager for OS X. I switched to mac half a year ago, and for almost every type of software I used before on win or linux I find really good alternatives except the file manager. I have never really liked Windows explorer, so I don't like the Finder either. Sorry Steve, but I need the two panels :) But Forklift fulfilled all my requirements! I don't want to waste a lot of words on the standard features, they work like a charm. But there are some things that I really like: - groupable favorites on the sidebar. I am - as a software developer - working with a lot of different ftp, sftp locations, and I made for every project a group, so I can easily access all local and remote locations. - Quick look integration, No comment :) - Batch rename function is really handy - Delete App function is also an extra which helps to keep the system cleaner. - Beautiful interface (Sorry muCommander :)) - The tech support is fast (I had a small problem buying the software but they answered in a few hours). The only thing which - in my opinion - needs some improvement is the tab handling. I prefer the Total Commander way where a tab belongs to a single panel (In Forklift a tab contains the two panels), and if you exit from Forklift your tabs are lost. But this is just a small inconvenience for me, so I can honestly recommend Forklift for everybody! |
