File manager for Apple computers with Mac OS X!
Does the Finder have too few features for your liking? Does it offer too little information? The new file manager for Mac OS X is the solution! Xfolders supplements the Finder and it is, thanks to its compatability with Norton Commander, an effective assistant for administrating your files.
Features:
- Completely for Tiger re-written cocoa application.
- Uses the new technology of Mac OS X Tiger.
- Compatibly with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
- Full integration of the Finder, thus support of all file operations from and to the Finder.
- Drag & Drop between both filelists and the Finder.
- Support for all important file operations.
- Info dialoge for simply changing the file and folder attributes.
- Intelligent path navigators for both file lists.
- Bookmarks & manager for folders.
- Direct access to importend system utilities.
- Navigation with the keyboard ala Norton Commander.
- Integrated, detailed Spotlight search.
- Integrated image browser.
- Integrated terminal.
- Versatile search and compare possibilities.
- Zip archive support.
- Flat or 3D Unified look.
- Supports the following languages:     
- Optimized for the PowerPC G5 processor, but remains compatible to G3 and G4 processors!
- Universal binary: Compatible with Intel based Macs!
- Xfolders is freeware!
System Requirements:
- Apple PowerPC or Intel based Mac with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Xfolders doesn't work with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard!
It's not tested, therefore a loss of data is possible!
Use with Snow Leopard on your own risk!
Some users reported that Xfolders runs with Mac OS X 10.3.9 too. However this is not tested, Xfolders is written for Tiger! None guarantee for function and dependability under Panther (10.3)! To avoid possible problems (loss of data etc.) Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard is strongly recommended!

FAQ
Q: The red button on main window doesn't work!
A: That's intention! Xfolders isn't document based, a new main window can't create at launch time. After closing main window Xfolders must be restart. Therefore red button functionality is deactivated! Update: Since version 1.2.1 the red button quits Xfolders, that is more typical for Mac OS X applications!
Q: What's SmartCrashReports and for what is it?
A: SmartCrashReports is from Unsanity, a freely add-on for apples crash reporter. It makes possible that crash reports can send to the application developers not to apple only. Unfortunately this concerns all programs of the entire system, therefore SmartCrashReports was removed out Xfolders! Since version 1.1.3 crash reports must be send manually! To remove SmartCrashReports out your system delete folder ~/Library/InputManagers/Smart Crash Reports!
Q: Is any progress bar in Xfolders?
A: Yes, but only if progress has more files to work and progress time is over 2 seconds! Byte or percent indicators are not present, the Cocoa-API don't support this momentarily!

If Xfolders crash, the crash reporter is coming up on screen. Please show the report, copy the upper text and send it to me! Helpful for me are the console messages too! You can see the console messages with the application "/Applications/Utilities/Console" or in Xfolders menu "Tools->Console"!
You want Xfolders in another language? Send me an eMail! Than I send you the xml localizable files, send me the translated files back! Than i'll integrate the new language in Xfolders! Thanks!
