The first ever Mac OS X file browser to offer tabbed file browsing, Thumbnail previews of pictures files and filter based file browser, Mac Explorer offers a totally new and unique file browsing experience
Features:
- Mac Explorer In Action: The first ever tabbed file browser for the Mac. Complete with the favorites shelf for commonly used files and applications, fast file searching from within each Explorer window and contextual menus to quickly perform various actions on selected files.
- Picture Previews as you Browse: No more generic icons when what you really want to see is the actual picture file. Mac Explorer is the first Mac File Browser to offer Thumbnail file browsing. Quickly locate the pictures you are looking for in a large list of files.
- Find Anything You Need: With access to the same search capabilities as Sherlock right from within Mac Explorer's main window, you can locate exactly what you are looking for without relying on third party applications or cluttering your desktop with more windows. You won't even disturb your current file location.

File Banks will store a pile of files so that a drag and drop operation can be posed while you navigate to a destination directory or if you just want to conveniently move multiple files as one pile of files.
- Change Info For Multiple Files At Once: Batch change file info for multiple files at once with Mac Explorer's Batch File Info Changer. Just enter some new information for the selected files, or even all files or folders within the current folder, and Mac Explorer will update all the specified files with the new file info.

Actually this is quite good, unfortunately i have discovered it too late as the developer is now giving it away and not developing. Many of the other finder replacements or enhancements do too much or too little.
Probably as others have established the name of this app alienates some and it has been its downfall.
Finder is not that great for ease of finding files and directories, but good for searching, whilst windows was never that great at searching but better at file structures for digging deep to find files.
I often work on a big screen and open this in one corner to help me find and sort things quickly and easily. I think what I need is "Total-Path lite"

If your coming from Windows and have never used Macs before or any other Unix based file system this is a good aid to use your My Computer thinking on a Mac. You will however chuck it away after a few months when you learn finder and pick out one of the multitude of better 3rd party file managers available for OSX.
Downside they never update it which tells me sales are bad and finder is instantly a hit with new users these days.
Perhaps to niche to do well on OSX but it still works fine even if not updated for a long time.

Greetings.
The name "Macintosh Explorer" is too coincidental with "Microsoft Explorer," and "Microsoft Internet Explorer."
Mac users choose Macs over the [IBM]PC Industry Standard from a position of intelligence, and to have excellence in computing that goes way above and beyond the de-facto "industry standard." Likewise, many Mac users (myself included) prefer to distance ourselves from Microsoft and Microsoft software titles.
There are some who may rightfully disagree, but Microsoft has been our adversary for many years where Microsoft enjoys at least 95% of the market share, yet we, the Macintosh community, beat them down consistently with vastly superior software.
The software title, "Macintosh Explorer" conveys too much (imho) of a reminder of the overbearing presence of "the dark side of computing."
It's difficult to discern why a software developer would choose such a title when thousands of other excellent possibilities are readily available.
Cheers.
