Can you really replace the Finder?
Authored by: Gwenhiver on Apr 12, '02 10:56:59AM
I've been using SNAX for a few weeks now, and I've even been trying to make it the Finder replacement once. But I found I do need the Finder's copy/paste icon and "Connect to Server…" features.
Did you find some workarounds to have them in SNAX? Currently, I have the two "finders" launched simultaneously, and though I use SNAX most of the time, I sometimes have to switch to the real Finder.

SXAN has a Copy, and a Move To command that are very nice, you might look into those for a copy and paste alternative. as for Connect to Server, yea with just SNAX you are SOL. i have talked to the developer about that problem, and he has not come accross documentation on how to impliment Connect to Server. if you have server favorits saved, they will work. but thats it.

Yeah, I know SNAX's Move and Copy are better than the Finder's. But what I meant was the copy/paste icon feature. You know, through the Get Info window… You can then have custom icons on your files/folders.

As for Connect to Server…, maybe I should make a favorite, indeed. Anyways, I just connect once in a while to an iBook, so it doesn't really matter.
