Product updates · Path Finder
This update brings substantial stability improvements to List View, along with fixes for file renaming, drag-and-drop, and tag handling.
More reliable List View
We've addressed several issues affecting how List View displays and updates files and folders.
- Fixed display glitches, garbled filenames, and crashes that could occur when folder contents changed.
- Improved folder expansion and collapse behavior, including preventing crashes caused by circular aliases.
- Fixed drag-and-drop folder selection and highlighting.
Safer and easier file renaming
Renaming files is now more predictable, especially when working quickly with multiple items.
- Use Tab and Shift-Tab to move directly to the next or previous filename while renaming in Icon or List View.
- Fixed editing of long filenames that span multiple lines.
- Prevented unexpected renaming when switching selections, opening contextual menus, or cancelling a drag.
- Disabled conflicting file operations during renaming to prevent unintended moves or deletions.
- Fixed an issue that could leave a stray filename-editing window onscreen.
Improved drag-and-drop and file operations
- Fixed copying files within the same folder using Option-drag.
- Fixed spring-loaded folder navigation in Column View.
- Fixed restoring the original location after cancelling a drag in all three browser views.
- Improved selection handling when moving files to Trash or deleting them through contextual menus.
- Fixed interference between double-click settings and dragging in List View.
Better tag handling
- Tags now synchronize automatically and immediately between Path Finder, Finder, and other compatible applications.
- Fixed issues with recognizing newly created or assigned tags.
- Fixed cancelling tag editing with Esc, even before entering text.
Additional improvements
- Added Delete as an assignable command shortcut in Icon View.
- Improved the availability of Synchronize Folders based on the selected folders.
- Fixed selection highlighting in inactive Icon View windows and panes.
- Made minor interface and compatibility fixes for macOS 27 Golden Gate.
