A very promising disk catalogger. Not without significant problems, however.

1) It sees application bundles as folders, and lets you view the contents. This should be a pref, and be off by default.
2) It shows locations as posix paths beginning with /Volumes. No-one wants to see the ugly unix details. Again - pref, off by default.
3) When a quick-search is active, paths still begin with /Volumes, but then rather than show the volume name next, the next folder name is displayed. The result is that when you then try to get finder info you get a dialog complaining that the file is missing. Well, duuh! There is no volume named Users!

But bugs aside, this could be a great app someday. It's very clean, simple, uncluttered, and extremely fast. Here's looking forward to 1.1.
