Anyone know of a Finder replacement?

Solution 1:

When it comes to alternatives of Finder, there are two major alternatives.

First, you have TotalFinder. It looks a lot like the normal Finder, but it can do so much more. You can copy/paste across windows, you can work with tabs or dual screen,... It's my personal favorite. I've been using it for many months now.

The second alternative is PathFinder. I don't have any personal experience with this software, but when I take a look at their website, it has some cool features too.

So, my advice is to check those two options and I can suggest you TotalFinder!

Solution 2:

Terminal might sound like a cop-out, but it's as Unix-y as it gets, loaded with Command Line Goodness. To better integrate into the Mac experience, be sure to check out the open command, which can launch applications, or open files using their designated application.
