Product Description:

Macintosh Explorer is the advanced file browser and file management tool for the Mac. It provides a hierarchical overview of all files and folders on all mounted drives. Thus providing a quick and convenient method for searching your hard drives. By providing the ability to see all of your files and folders in one window, although allowing for multiple windows to be opened, Macintosh Explorer is a one of a kind file browser for the Mac.

The ability to browse your hard drives while having access to various, yet powerful file management tools, makes Macintosh Explorer much more convenient and cheaper than using multiple third party applications with the Finder. With the many powerful file management tools included in Macintosh Explorer, it also offers the ability to view invisible files while browsing, full customization of appearance and behavior as well as a different approach to file browsing and file management.

What's new in this version:

Macintosh Explorer 3.2 provides an enhanced interface, improved Mac OS X support including better scrollwheel support and support for OS X 10.2.x, and improved drag and drop support.

As well, version 3.2 provides the ability to cut, copy and paste files between multiple Explorer windows, speed improvements and minor bug fixes.

Macintosh Explorer X ReviewNot worth it.. - Version: 4.5, 5/4/2007 07:08PM PST

smhill
Unfortunately, I purchased this product too quickly. I found it at MacZot, played with it for a few minutes and quickly fell in love with the concept.

When I actually started to use it regularly, I found it to be a really poor substitute for the finder. In fact it is a really poor product in general. It is really slow, buggy and awkward. It is missing many of the general features you that you get for free in the finder. It crashes often, and is slow to refresh. It is also missing keyboard shortcuts. Just using the finder is much more efficient and productive.

In general the idea is sound, but this is very poorly designed and executed.

Huge thumbs down.

Macintosh Explorer X CommentaryTry Path Finder first - Version: 4.5, 2/14/2007 08:54AM PST

Actually Path Finder from CocoaTech has had the tabbed browsing, thumbnail previews, etc. for quite a while now. If you are looking for a better Finder than the Finder, this is the way to go IMHO. Plus it has a great little Text editor, Preview alternative, PDF reader, Terminal and HTML editor built in.

Macintosh Explorer X CommentaryInvisible Files and Demo Format - Version: 4.3, 4/5/2005 08:34PM PST

If you have already changed the default Finder behavior to display all invisible files (as with the CLI command of "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE"), then Macintosh Explorer will freak out if you try to expand an invisible folder and then collapse it back.

Also, I prefer a demo period defined by elapsed time rather than by launches. Or if a given launch is less than a certain period of time -- say ten minutes -- then that could not count against the launches a user is allowed for a demo period. (And to guard against abuse of this, the product could simply fail to run after two weeks or one month.)
