FlyPath – innovative file browser and file manager for Mac OS X

FlyPath is an innovative file browser and file manager designed with minimum number of features for maximum amount of functionality. If you've seen NeXT's Workspace Manager, you can detect quite a lot of (intentional) similarity between it and FlyPath.
Shelf

First, there is shelf. Non-crippled, real, honest shelf. Which can be used as shortcut to file-system, as drag&drop destination, as drag&drop source, or as intermediate drag&drop step when moving or copying multiple files. Or you can open files on the shelf by double-clicking them.

Then there is Navigation Bar. No more guessing. You always know where you are in file-system hierarchy.

Want to move up in file-system hierarchy? Explore parent folders of your current selection? Simply drag one of the sliders (the one that is closer to your mouse cursor) and there you are.

It also serves as drag&drop source and destination for all file operations (in co-operation with shelf if necessary). And double-clicking the icon opens the file.

And finally, how do you rename a file? You click its filename in navigation bar and edit it . No more positioning your cursor just the right way over filename and double-click waiting and erroneous file-open operations.

Move fast. Free yourself of ingrained fear of mouse clicking and dragging in browser view – browser view is for browsing and selecting only! Except for double-click which opens selected files, there is no other operation which can be performed inadvertently in browser. You can speedily click and drag to select without fear of renaming or moving or doing some other dangerous action.

All files (including invisible ones) in folders are displayed to give you maximum information combined with minimum distraction.

Folders are displayed at the top of the list, and folder filenames are in bold. Hidden files (e.g. .htaccess) are always shown at the bottom, and their filenames are gray . You can also optionally group files by kind (see Preferences).

You can see inside packages by clicking Show As Folder shortcut icon or selecting corresponding menu item. Or inversely check the folder information by clicking Show Inspector shortcut icon or selecting corresponding menu item.

Also, keyboard navigation is supported in browser. You can move around by using arrows or typing initial letters of filenames, and files can be opened by pressing return key.

File information is always displayed in Inspector with all the relevant pieces of information .

Another single feature with great functionality. This statement seems like a theme, doesn't it?
