TotalFinder Transforms Mac File Browsing
Monday, December 27, 2010 by Shep McAllister 
OS X's default file browser, Finder, is pretty nice, but certainly has room for improvement. While there are a number of replacement apps out there, TotalFinder is an excellent plug-in that adds functionality to Finder itself.
With TotalFinder installed, you'll be able to open new Finder tabs (a perfect remedy for window overload), switch to a handy dual pane mode, open a Finder window from anywhere with a keyboard shortcut, and more. After a few days of using it you'll wonder why these features weren't included by default with OS X.
TotalFinder offers a two week free trial, after which you'll need to pony up $15 of your Christmas money for a single license, or $30 for three. It's a little steep, but ultimately fair for something you might use dozens of times per day.

When I'm looking for a file or folder I usually know the name of the file, so for me any GUI is slower than just typing in the name. Quicksilver's by far the fastest tool I've found for file browsing on Mac.
