  • Added preview support for Help Viewer bundles
  • Path Finder now displays if an application is PPC, Intel, or Universal Binary in the info panel
  • Path Finder can now previews NEF files

Note that unless it is an unmentioned fixed, PathFinder still will not allow you to perform any administrator actions. (There is no asking for a password, the action just fails.)

It may be incredibly nice, but without this is is pretty much dead in the water if you don't run as an administrator all of the time.

I discovered that it will not generate them when browsing SMB shared folders. Finder does show them, however.

I do believe it say the following on the main page for the product.

"Theres an icon size slider right in the file browser, and you can now size icons up to Tigers gigantic new 256x256 icon size. On that note, Path Finder can now generate image icon previews on the fly, which will be very handy for designers, photographers, and anyone with lots of image files.

Path Finder 4 now has an Bookmark Bar that gives you another way of quickly accessing favorite folders. The new View Options window organizes an incredible array of customizations and view option for the discerning interface jockey. Theres a new Contents contextual menu that allows you to navigate inside directories for super-fast access."

So I am guessing it will show previews.

Am I correct in saying that Pathfinder will not show previews of photos as their icons?

Path Finder rocks, if Leopard's Finder contains only half of the features in Path Finder it will be a HUGE improvement.
