Show the changed-dates and sizes for files with the same name.

Give the dialog an option to replace dest. files that are older than the source files.

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!

Make the trash in the dock work in Path Finder. At the moment I need to have the Finder open as well just to use the trash in the Dock.

Replace the Finder in the Dock. I just can't be doing with the Finder sitting there taking up valuable Dock space when I don't even use it.

Provide an option to disable recent files, folders, etc.

Support the open sourced TrueCrypt disk encrytion natively within Pathfinder so that encrypted volumes can be created and mounted without having to run TrueCrypt in addition to Pathfinder.

PF shows the current path in the path navigator with each segment as buttons so you can jump to a directory in the path. What I'd like to see is more of a "URL bar". Basically allowing a "Go to folder" feature. I like how Vista's Explorer has implemented this: it shows the buttons like PF does, but if you click on an special icon the bar turns into a text-field where you can type the path specifically.

Build in an optional mechanism (e.g. checksum and/or binary comparison) that allows copied files to be verified after copying (therefore ensuring that the target file is an exact copy of the source file).

This would be available for both local file copies and those across a network.

Although this would slow down the copy process, it would be an optional process (e.g. selectable in preferences) and would be absolutely invaluable for critical file transfer.

Hash check (MD5, SHA, ect) assures that copy/move action was successfully completed. It should be performed automatically at the end of operation (setting a preference). Could also be provided the ability to generate a report as text file.

i like to see a function to synchronize directories in dual-browser mode. This function should do:
1. copy all new files to target directory
2. update all older Files in target directory
3. delete all Files that are not in the source directory
4. optional select "all subdirectories"
5. save the synchronise-action for the next time

May be there is such a synchonise in PathFinder?

Or, alternately, the ability to 'undo' an accidental closing of a tab.

Setting "PathFinder as Desktop" literally makes the PathFinder window the desktop. It lives in the background but that is no problem with Expose desktop view.

A way to invert your files selection. Let's say you have selected 23 items on a Path Finder window and you need to invert that selection to select all the other files except the ones you have selected. Why can't you do that already? Seems useful and I felt the need to use it more than a few times already.

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.

If you have two files, i.g. "test.pdf" and "test (1).pdf", it's sorted like this:

test (1).pdf
test.pdf

If you mask the suffix, it's sorted the other way:

test
test (1)

so the sort algorithm should only consider the suffix if the filenames are equal.
