Greg's Browser
Authored by: VRic on Jul 29, '03 08:44:08AM

I too found Greg's Browser to be the most convenient tool for that, and even more after I gave a keyboard shortcut to the show/hide command using ResEdit.

Not to mention that Greg's Browser is one of my main reasons to hate the Finder in OS X, as it had showed for years how a column-based browser should work and the Apple folks still didn't get it. For example, the left/right keys select columns, not items in them unless it's the last column, so you can intuitively move to the left to see where you came from, then back to the right without loosing your path like in the Finder. This has the added benefits of making a horizontal scrollbar and a stupid "history" mechanism useless. And of course items don't jump to the left just when you try to grab them, but that may be considered consistent behaviour on Apple's part, since most things in OS X tend to flee when you try to touch them ;-)
