ForkLift 1.1 Winners

Last week, we reviewed ForkLift 1.1, the file manager that just keeps getting better. Featuring Droplets, live-editing, batch renaming and seamless handling of archives, it’s become the default file manager for lots of people.

We asked our readers to come up with great features they’d like to see in upcoming versions of ForkLift. Most of theresponses we received were really impressive, but like all competitions, we only have limited copies to giveaway. Here are the best three:

1. Ziv Kitaro
Ziv wanted to see Leopard’s Stacks added to ForkLift. This would make it easier to manipulate many different files and folders as one unit. He currently does this with quicksilver, but thinks it would be much simpler if it was integrated into ForkLift.

2. Chris
Chris had a simple request. He would like to see tags, or Spotlight comments to work within ForkLift. If you label your project files as “urgent”, a Spotlight search for “urgent” will find them all. ForkLift currently only supports searching by filename.

3. Marius Bastiansen
Marius suggested adding Hazel-like functionality into ForkLift. Hazel is an application that keeps your folders and files tidy. You can create rules to organize, label, and tag your files. It also cleans unused files from uninstalled applications and supports the iLife libraries.

Congratulations to all winners (we’ll be in touch soon), and thanks to everyone else who participated. Mudi and the team at BinaryNights are really pleased with all the suggestions.
