Product Description:
Liquifile is a new file management tool for Mac OS X. An alternative Finder, if you will. It is designed for visual thinkers who want to get a bigger picture of their files and feel them more directly. But not only for them ;-). Did you ever wonder why searching and browsing is so separated in today's interfaces? Ever wished you had a bigger screen when finding or organizing your files? Ever lost files in deep hierarchical structures? Ever wondered what the next big thing in file browsing might be...?

It's an interesting and different approach. Essentially this shows files and folders with size and modified (or created) date. It's remarkably smooth and fast, and offers an intuitive and helpful way of looking at your files. Navigation could use a little tweaking; for example, I'd like to be able to navigate back or up through a path from the toolbar instead of just the menu or keyboard (disclaimer -- I've only played with the demo for a little while; there may be ways to modify the toolbar or something, but I didn't see them i the preferences or other places I looked).
I've marked the documentation down a little but it looks as if the developers are working on that. They suggest a video which isn't up yet, for example.
I don't think I'm going to use it yet, but I'll keep an eye on updates and see what's new. It has potential to be a useful Finder alternative, I think.

If you are not a graphical, or GUI motivated person then this is probably not for you, but if you are you will find Liquifile rewarding.
