Cocoatech has released version 4.7 of PathFinder the company's replacement file browser for OS X's Finder application. In the [critique of Apple's new Finder for OS X 10.5][3] I mentioned that many of the Finder features due in Leopard are already available in PathFinder and the new release brings even more to the table (screenshots after the jump).
[PathFinder 4.7][3] brings numerous bug fixes and small improvements as well as some new features like support for Subversion, which is thus far experimental and Cocoatech advices caution about using it with mission critical documents.
Other new features include:
>* Redesigned Get Info window which allows get summary info (Cmd-Option-I)
* New Subversion plugin (experimental - use with caution) that provides basic svn functionality (status, update, commit, diff, add)
* Redesigned Applications Launcher - press F8 or see the Go menu
* Updated the Terminal to the latest iTerm code: new interface; drag reorder tabs in terminal; drag tab out of window to create new window; many other new features. Terminal preferences have been moved and can be now found in the terminal window (“Settings” toolbar button).
* Added the ability to preview Safari .webarchive files
* You can now preview and play media files as well as preview PDF thumbnails in the last column of column view
As a longtime PathFinder user, I have to say the most exciting thing on that list is refinements to the built-in iTerm code. The new interface is much more usable and the ability to reorder tabs brings the terminal window inline with the rest of the application.
For more details on the various smaller improvements and bug fixes, check out the [release notes for version 4.7][1].
PathFinder is $35 for a new copy and $18 for an upgrade. Leopard support is already enabled.
