What's new in this version:

Path Finder 3.2.1 is a maintenance release which addresses issues reported after the release of version 3.2. This is a highly recommended upgrade for all Path Finder 3.2 and 3.1 users.
  • You couldn't change the default application for items without Path Finder crashing - this is now fixed.
  • Fixed an issue with Word documents whose default application is Path Finder. If the preference to use Path Finder to open Word documents was not checked, double-clicking one of these files would cause Path Finder to hang.
  • Fixed application binding issue, where "Change All" would have no effect.
  • Cleaned up the sorting of the Users and Groups menus in the Get Info window
  • Tweaked a small Shelf display problem, where the Shelf would sometimes spontaneously disappear on launch.
  • Fixed a small problem with file names not being sorted correctly
  • Fixed a screen refresh issue with the PDF viewer, and hooked up the following quick keys:
    • Arrow - Up and Arrow - Down : Self-explanatory
    • Space bar : scrolls down one page
    • Shift-Space bar : scrolls up one page
  • Integrated new OmniFrameworks
  • Fixed the Cocoatech FTP connection in the help menu
  • New version checking code using MacPad
  • Menus are now generated dynamically using Cocoa - this might help speed things up a bit
  • Screen capture doesn't come up as sheet anymore
  • Fixed the bug with breaking long file names words with ...
  • Other small optimizations and tweaks

This software is not 64 bit yet according to libertyforall1776! It's the end of the world! It's 2012!! GAME OVER MAN!!! What shall we do?

Frankly libertyforall1776 it will be released for 64 bit when the developer thinks it makes fiscal sense and not one day before that. Why not give us all a rest please!
