PathFinder gets a solid ‘meh’ from me. It has had so much promise over the years, but they have been unable to squash bugs that I was running up against all the time. The most annoying thing for me was that settings for the sidebar constantly get lost and need to be re-applied. Sure, it’s only a few mouse clicks to fix if you’ve saved the settings, but it shouldn’t be necessary and happened multiple times a day. I’ve given up on it for now. Might try again later, but why use a tool that’s just going to frustrate me?

I am having a weird feeling about this. Maybe because I paid full price a few months ago.
Regardless, this is an awesome RSS app. Grab it on both platforms while you can.
I recall, the developer made v3 free when he was launching v4. Does this mean v5 is coming?
Taking a look at Bundlehunt, I think I’ll buy default folder x and ForkLift
- What else should I check out?
- Is there a compelling reason to buy PathFinder? Reading through some of the posts, there were issues with v 8 but I’m not sure if those are resolved. and it seems like ForkLift gets me most of the way.
FYI earlier this week The SweetBits called ForkLift the best Finder replacement.

The article’s summary:
“We believe our top pick — ForkLift — would be the most recommended Finder replacement for macOS devices. However, if you need an upgrade to something professional and rich in features, you can consider Path Finder.”
Unless, maybe, you have more experience using it, as per Mark and Steve’s posts above. 
Regarding ForkLift, do I need to buy two licenses if I’m the only user on two computers?
No! License is on a per-user basis, not per-device. Should be in the app description.

Bought it but Alfons needs to add iCloud sync. Come on dude.
I just realized I could probably do a Keyboard Maestro macro to script the GUI to reload the settings and then assign it to a key on my Stream Deck. That might be a work-around for the lost settings problems.
