Just like in Windows: list contents, traverse directories, extract/copy/move selected files, move files and folders in and out.

The technology is already in place (stuffit), but I doubt a simple plugin would do it - this feature is up to Cocoatech to implement.

It has been possible in Windows for years, but somehow has not been done on Mac (i guess Finder integration is a bitch). Well, PathFinder is the next best (better) option.

Go ahead, make any archive act like a regular folder in PathFinder!

Hi - have a look at Total Commander in the Win World: When I click copy in the top menu bar it just copies from one pane to the other.

Create an option for a duplicate sidebar on the right side of dual windows and allow it to work with the right window and the left sidebar to work with the left window. Similar to the way "totalfinder" works.

The rename dialog is currently ~50 characters wide; long names split on the boundary breaking cmd-arrow text selection. I would appreciate it if the rename text box was wider (it can be narrower if the PF window is narrower, but when there's space a much wider box would be appreciated).

My old Xtree/Ztree programs offered this feature. I used it frequently to determine which files needed to be backed up (either a file with a later timestamp or a new file). The tagged files could be moved or copied anywhere.

0- I am using e.g. "Name" sort order
1- I have selected a file
2- I click one of the column names to resort, e.g. by choosing "Date Modified".
3 - The selected file moves to a different location and can even force a rescroll to find it.

The file should remain in the same location relative to the window so that I can immediately see its position using the new sort order.

Have a folder compare similar to DeltaWalker, would not have to automatically sync the files, but provide the ability to copy files from folder to folder, either right or left. KISS, keep it simple.

I frequently move hundreds or thousands of small files between folders. In finder these moves (local disk only) happen instantly, with PathFinder the move dialog comes up and you can watch each file move between directories which can often take 10 or more minutes. Usually I give up and drop to the terminal or use finder to move the files. It would be nice if this was as quick as the other methods.

Often when I am using the drop stack I prefer that my files are moved to the new location instead of copied.

Current behaviour I have to hold down the 'cmd' key when dragging the item off the stack.

Suggest adding a preference where I can change the default setting of copy to be move.

Trying to manage music outside of iTunes, helpful to be able to sort by artists

It should be possible to select the filter filename box with a keyboard shortcut (maybe Command-S) and come back to the (now filtered) file list with another shortcut. The objective is to use the keyboard to move (cursor keys) through files, select files (return key), and filter files (using letters and other characters). Thanks!

I copy from filesystem A to B, then look at B from filesystem C (A and C are actually computes, B is storage).
In Pathfinder the file shows "there". Regular Finder shows the file grayed out - it's not fully there, it's in the process of being copied.
Path Finder should match the behavior, to make it obvious the file is not fully available yet.

This has driven me bonkers for some time. After unzipping an archive the resulting file or folder is not selected. This is a huge pain when you've unzipped in a directory with a lot of content as the unzipped archive is not always similarly names as the archive itself. This is more of a bug then a feature request.
