Tyaris Major: I couldn't agree with you more! Exactly the same thing I was thinking as I was using it briefly.

I'm not going to give this app a star rating, as it's free, but I'd really encourage the developers to rethink the user interface.

Realizing the Finder's FTP access is read-only, I've perused the some of the FTP clients available. This one comes close, but doesn't quite do it for me.

First of all, if this app is listed as 10.3 only, then why in the world don't you use an NSSegmentedControl as the View switcher widget rather than 3 NSButtons? Also, there's no Alt icon so I can't tell which one is selected (though, yes, I can figure it out by looking at the view the window is in, but still...).

There are just some things of the interface that are close, but not quite, and as such, they bring attention to themselves. Something about the sort-by popup menus didn't seem right to me, so I took a look in Interface Builder. Why in the world would you use a Small System Font on the Regular size NSPopupButtons? Apple advises against mixing sizes across different controls, and you're mixing them right within the control itself. Then, in one of the other preference nib, the text size was changed to 12 point on the NSPopupButton--halfway between System Font and Small System Font. If the size of the control is regular, the text should be System Font. Also, when you resize the NSToolbar to use the Small option, the popup menus still remain standard size rather than changing to a small size along with everything else.

Check out the Apple's Human User Interface guidelines. Read them. Then read them again. Then read them again backwards. Internalize them.
