ForkLift

ForkLift Publisher's Description:
ForkLift is a power tool for the Mac, the entire file management workflow combined in a single app. Developed by Binarynights, ForkLift is designed to be the fastest and most powerful FTP/SFTP/WebDAV/Amazon S3 client, it connects to Bluetooth devices, and handles files across these protocols. Its dual pane view maximizes productivity, a Cocoa based interface with smart preview and spring-loaded folders lets you browse your local and remote folders and use Favorites just like in Finder. Use it to edit files or preview images stored in a remote folder, even within archives.

ForkLift 1.1 integrates a full featured batch rename tool, an application deleter and a small code called droplet, which enables you to create automated upload shortcuts for your most used remote folders, and place them anywhere in your file system.

What's new in this version:

* obviously, the beautiful new UI, with Finder-style Sidebar and Preview.
* obviously, the new Sidebar. The Sidebar now lists shared volumes of the local network in a separate group item, and will recognize all AFP, SMB, NFS... shares on the network just, like Finder does (with the funny little PC icons et al).
* the Sidebar will also allow you to create Favorite Groups, and to edit Favorites directly from the context menu (does not support local favorites, only remote).
* there is now a single Connect panel (Go > Connect or cmd-K), which groups FTP/SFTP/WebDav/S3/Bluetooth connection functions (iDisk is accessed as WebDAV). the panel now has an option to add a new connection directly to the Favorites.
* we've rewritten some part of the copy engine
* it should now be about 10 times (!) faster, as FL can now use multiple channels for moving data. The improvement will affect all copy operations, over FTP, SFTP, S3, WebDAV, etc. It means ForkLift is now one of the fastest ftp clients on earth. A Word Press upgrade that took us 60 seconds with 1.2 on Tiger now takes a mere 6 secs!
* the new live preview panel is just great. It can be resized to any size, it is capable to display pdfs, and it now reads Spotlight comments as well. This, of course, will work across remote folders and inside archives.
* the new ForkLift also has Quick Look. just hit [space] to toggle QuickLook.
* it is now possible to create new buckets on european S3 accounts.
* the new copy engine also fixed a problem that was reported by many users. Namely, that copying a folder to a remote filesystem where a folder with the same name already existed wiped the original folder, instead of merging the contents of the two folders. Now, this was not a bug, but since we releived so many requests, ForkLift will now ask you if you want to replace or merge the directories. The function will only work with remote volumes.
* tasks running in the background are now grouped in a single activity viewer window
* on top of each panel, you will now see a Path Navigator bar to help browsing.
* we've reviewed and corrected the menu items and panel texts. should be nice an clean now
* if you're attentive enough, you will have noted the new application icon. A progress bar and badge are now also displayed on the dock icon, to monitor transfers while ForkLift is in the background
* there are also a couple of new toolbar icons.
* user permissions on the Info.plist file. Now all users of a computer will be able to start the ForkLift installed under another user account
* font selection is now available in the main panels
* Help pages were added

IMPORTANT:

* Droplets created with 1.2 may no longer work once 1.5 is installed.
* this version will only run on Leopard.
