Add tabs to Finder

When tabs finally found their way into Web browsers some years ago, people immediately fell in love with them. In fact, most people wonder how someone could live without them. With Apple’s love for a minimalist interface, you have to wonder why we still don’t have them on the desktop. Whatever the reason, we’ve been left to wait for a third-party solution.

thank's for this tip Ivan, it seems good than Path Finder!

the two tabs opened design is weird xD but really seems very useful to drag and drop.

this tabs thing is very sexy. I don't know why I hate for Photoshop CS... xD

Ronaldo! xD

Took me a while to get used to tabs in PS too.

Great find, Ivan. Thanks so much for sharing.

Tabs are, methinks, that one UI feature that everyone scratches their collective heads and asks, "Why hasn't this feature been implemented yet?"

It is a very cool add-on, isn't it! Hopefully when the developer starts charging, it won't cost too much.

Yeah found this the other day as well, had been looking for this for years. Not really sure why Apply hasn’t done it themselves yet, there are obvious usability benefits.

Only issue I have is that when dragging and dropping between tabs I would like to be able to hold over the tab so it became an active window so I could then drop files in to sub directories.

I've been playing with this for the past hour now, and I am impressed. I didn't like the default setting of opening a new window, and it always being full screen and unscalable, but that was easily fixable through the preferences.

It seems really versatile, but where is the keyboard shortcut for scrolling through tabs, I can't find it anywhere.

I can see this shaving substantial time off of my work day once I get used to it.

This would get me excited if I'd seen some screenshots or heard some information about nike shoes wholesale, but at the moment, I really am not bothered about it at all.
