"Does not clean up quick menu after uninstalling"
Version: Path Finder 5.7.8
Pros
Tried trial and found it ok
Cons
I uninstalled Pathfinder thru various uninstallers. However, whenever I right click on any folder, I get option of "Show Info"and "Reveal". On clicking any of these options, I get error message saying that associated application is missing.
How do I remove these links?
I don't want to install Pathfinder again -
"Zero confidence"
Version: Path Finder 5.7.8
Pros
I have been trying out Path Finder 5.7.8 for about a week. In general it seems like a good power-user tool.
Cons
But I lost confidence in it today when I tried to copy a 150 GB folder to a USB drive. The progress bar indicted that the copy was 300 GB and when I looked in the destination folder the directory structure was getting scrambled. Files and folders where in the wrong locations.
Summary
Because Path Finder screwed up something so simple (folder copy) I have lost faith in this tool. This makes one think that it could do serious damage to your data. I will be uninstalling it.

"Nice tool for a windows convert, but too expensive."
Version: Path Finder 5.7.2
Pros
intuitive, and able work and move files much more intuitively than Finder. Pathfinder is smoother and allows me to clean trash files from thumb drives, copy and move with a single window and much more.
Cons
$40 is a ridiculous price for this 'app', even if the guy who created it lives in California.
Summary
Works very well but priced twice its value. I'd pay $20, but won't pay $40.

"It's allright"
Version: Path Finder 5.7.2
Pros
Seems like every OS needs an aftermarket dual-pane tabbed file manager interface. This is the 'big gun' for the Mac OS.
Cons
If you're offline you won't be able to view help videos. If you're a windows convert and were using xplorer2 this is the closest thing you'll find on the mac.
To the developer: please rename! 'path finder' is too generic. Maybe 'PathFinderMac'? -
"It is what I use in place of finder"
Version: Path Finder 5.7
Pros
Easily finds what I am looking for.
Cons
I haven't really found any cons. I consider myself an intermediate on my mac.
There is still so much to learn. -
"I no longer use Finder"
Version: Path Finder 5.7
Pros
Many features and new efficient ways to work. get things done easier. Tabbed windows mean no need for many finder windows opened and scattered. Very customizable. Just packed with Features
Cons
Used it for a few days now and have only seen benefits
Summary
If there is anything you wanted to do with finder but couldn't, even things you didn't know you needed, Path Finder is the way to do it. I was reserved at first to replace finder but soon realized its just like finder only + more. Well worth it. Why is no major operating system offering tabbed file browsers?

"I am very pleased with Pathfinder."
Version: Path Finder 5.7
Pros
Everyone should be using it to manage your files. I move from three PC's to MacBook Pro. I had duplicate files and I was lost until I found Pathfinder. It has been so easy to use.
Cons
A few more videos would be helpful learning all the features.

"Really awesome program for the power user"
Version: Path Finder 5.6.8
Pros
Lots of useful features, tabbed interface, many developer/technical functions, stable, easy to use.
Cons
A few features not so well implemented so that I still use the Finder as well.
Summary
I use Path Finder as my main file browsing program instead of the Finder. I like the tabbed interface which makes it easy to have lots of locations open simultaneously. I also like the many features which are useful to power users or programmers which the Finder doesn't have. It is very stable and just as fast as the Finder for most operations. Recommended for all Mac power users!

"Handy but too expensive"
Version: Path Finder 5.6.4
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
There are some things in this that can make you more productive, once you get used to it, but there is nothing in this software that makes it anywhere near worth $40. -
"very powerful"

nothing important
