rdf:langString Path Finder (originally SNAX) is a Macintosh file browser developed by . First released simultaneously with the public release of Mac OS X 10.0 'Cheetah', it replicates or integrates most of the features of the Finder, but introduces additional functionality similar to that found in Windows Explorer, Norton Commander and other third-party file browsers developed for a variety of platforms. Some of Path Finder's features not found in the Finder include its namesake persistent breadcrumb navigation, shelf (called Drop Stack), transparent archive file browsing, manipulating hidden files, root access, full ACL GUI, batch operations, folder comparison and synchronization, terminal emulator, hex editor, active process viewer, and application launcher. Path Finder also includes tabs, not found in Finder until 2013 in OS X 10.9 'Mavericks'. Primarily a navigational file manager, Path Finder also features support for configuration as a correct orthodox, or spatial file manager. Most operations can take place in a single window, although more windows or tabs can be opened. The interface can further be customized by enabling or disabling various panels and/or their corresponding functionality.
