I’m a DirOpus/TotalCMD/Diskmaster/NC fan, but I find too many little things unconfigurable to be able to use it as a replacement 100% of the time. Thus I find the app goes unused for long periods of time and thus it does not warrant to be bought and used by me.

That said, it does show promise, but care has to be taken not to spend time on all the wrong features.

For instance, I see you have taken the time to implement a Amazon S2 storage accessing mechanism instead of, say better keyboard shortcut configuration (I use multiple type of keyboards, and need to map multiple sets of shortcuts) or more layout configuration (Adding . and .. as directories?)

I mean, really… if I needed remote SFTP/FTP/S3 access I would look to MacFUSE plugins… that makes more sense instead of having plugin bloat in Forklift.

Don’t get me wrong, plugins are essential.

Otherwise, good work… it’s always good to have options… your’s show the most promise out of ÂµCommander, Disk Order, mc or any other attempt.

MSBOB, you are correct about the locked file. THere is a great windows utility that i use when on my work computer called, simply enough, “Unlocker Assistant” that will present you with a window of locked files as the need arises, you can kill the process that has them locked or just “unlock” the file. Of coruse it requires user interaction to actually unlock the file, maybe there could be some “auto unlock” feature that would do the honors for you. I can’t wait to try ForkLift against PathFinder. I’ll feel like it’s a waste of I end up paying for ForkLift and ditch my purchased copy of PathFinder.

[...] Forklift This is one of the most complete apps in recent time (besides Coda, of course) — made possible by the first-time Mac developers at BinaryNights. It’s basically a very fast FTP/SFTP client (believe me, I’ve compared it with others), and file manager — whether it’s for local work or in a network. All is contained within a very stylish and productive dual-pane window. Some bonuses include the ability to edit any file from the app, and a complete app deleter (like AppZapper). But my favorite part is the included Favorites list in one of the sidebars. ForkLift is still in a free public beta if you want to check it out, but hopefully will soon be coming out at the very exciting price of $30 (a rather good deal!) — as mentioned on MacApper. [...]

“I cannot understand is the need for the Uninstall button. ” – Kintatro

That uninstall feature is great. So many people assume that mac apps only exist in the Applications folder. There is a lot of junk that gets scattered, mostly inert, but some goes into the Library folder and ~App Support folder.

I would like to see a detailed summary in the copy window if there was a problem. It’s stupid that a locked or permission’s related file can stop a copy process. Instead the problem file should be logged and shown (with full path) in the dialog box (or a sidebar) while the copy continues. This is especially true when copying folders with lots of files. How frustrating is it to leave a 1 hour copy only to return to find that it never got going because of a dialog box. Apple should do this, but now FL has the opportunity.

Mudi from BinaryNights just emailed saying ‘we would like to offer you free license keys to be given to ten lucky readers of your site when the final release comes out.’

That’s a lot of licenses. Thanks Mudi!

Back on topic…I’ve only been using ForkLift over the last 2 releases and I think it’s a fairly natural replacement for Finder. These style of apps seem to appeal to both former Windows users, and people doing lots of heavy lifting, and I think it does a bang up job of pleasing both camps.

Marvin, the custom keybindings leave a lot to be desired for users growing up on the various Norton Commander clones. I’ve sent my detailed comments to the developers earlier, we’ll see how much they listen to their potential customers

By: Marvin Sum

Marvin Sum — Wed, 09 May 2007 19:42:23 +0000

People, thank you so much for your feedback.

@Phraktle Commander: If you look under Preferences you can set your custom keybindings.

@Kintaro: Haha.

@Hummer45: Thanks!

Kintaro: What a shitty thing to say. Maybe you should grow some marbles and upload a gravitar before letting crap like that come out of your mouth.

As far as ForkLift goes, I will admit I am a fan of the app but what I cannot understand is the need for the Uninstall button. I really think that should be removed in a final version. Aside from that I use FL every day and it is much better than Finder or any other window managers I have tried. Good interview Marvin.

I will gladly pay for Fork Lift once horizontal panes are an option. Though I hate to say it, look to the Windows app “Directory Opus” by GP Software at http://www.gpsoft.com.au

Opus has hundreds of options and customizations, and it’s the only way I’ll use Windows (when I’m forced to). Something like Directory Opus for OS X would be awesome.
