FinderPath 0.9.7, Mac OS X 10.6++

Features

• Easily copy/paste file paths.
• Easily access hidden files and folders.
• Fast filesystem navigation through path completion and suggestion popups.
• Search Mode: Enter filenames to search the current directory. Way more reliable than Finders "find as you type".
• Wildcard support: Type *.pdf to select all pdf files in the current folder.
• Open terminal in current directory by keypress.
• No Bloatware: Doesn't get in your way until you activate it, and stays in background if you don't.
• A word of warning: I explicitly tag this app Beta. Most stuff is working, but use it at your own risk and PLEASE REPORT BUGS!

Usage

Press Command+G or click on Finder's titlebar item to activate the FinderPath address bar.
