Finder War!

I was curious to know which finder you guys prefer cause there's just been so many of them being released and updated recently and i'd like to know to which one the aqua-soft audience leans more :naughty:

i have my preference :) would like to know about u guys!

I think that his poll is unjust. No finder should be judged. While it may complement some finders, it may upset develpors. Half of our finders might disapeer because of this. Please do not vote, or express your opinion.

#135087

I don't think any of them are 'finished' yet.

#135093

Xplore has the most potential, Felix8 is doing good right now so that's my choice. The others are a bit buggy and not skinned well, no offense tho.

#135097

I've only tried Xplore and Felix8.

Neither are finished so I'm not saying.

and haxor:

I love that green guy! he's so sweet and cheerful!

@Flarex, i don't see how this could be unjust. people feel the need to express and whether you want it or not, if you release a product - be it finished or not - you are prone to judgements. however, i'm here not asking judgement. i'm asking simply which one do you prefer. voting is (to the extent that i know) annonymous, so nobody's judging nobody. c'mon you don't use all finders on your pc do you? u gotta use one.

@bh2, i wouldn't call any product finished. Any product. i myself am a developer and i know that.

people, if you feel like you, by exposing your preference for one finder over another, will offend any of the authors simply don't expose it.

and authors, if you feel offended or in any way sad by the eventual results of this poll, don't. you all have good software (none of the finders are utter crap) and this is one more reason to go back to coding and do better!

don't take this the bad way. this is encouragement. if people continue to dislike this and argue that it's too early, just say and i'll delete this right away.

#135109

I think this post helps everyone. Lets us all know which direction to go in and eventually give the user the best experience.

#135113

Hey why is my finder-clone not in the poll? Oh **** I didn't release it yet :P:P:P

AndreasV is in a weird mood

If one of the finders gets more votes then others, it discourages the 3 others developers who are making the other finders. And who knows, maybe their finders would have gotten better then the one chosen. This is a sure way to make developers leave. If i was a mod i'd close this thread.

<_< Is this cuz your finders winning? I think everyone should try all the finders out and see which one they like the best.

Umm no? If you look, my finder is currently losing :P

#135130

hehe, now it is, nm

#135133

i just hope nobody gives up, they all have so much potential.

i dont expect anyone to finish, but hopefuly get a lot of the way there. :D

#135145

FINDER WAR :starwars:

seriously, i dont think we should be criticising these. none of them are finished, so its not fair to compair them.

im having a premonition:im seeing a flame war, im seeing post like" (name of finder app)owns and all the other ones suck. maybe developers will get mad at negitive coments and stop working on there apps. and i see this topic getting closed.

prove me wrong people, prove me wrong.

oh, and im useing xplore, just cause it was one of the first to come out, and i fear change :P

edited for spelling, (a little late)

#135169

well, once StefanKa's FinderMod for Explorer comes out, I'll have no need for a finder app.

This is exactly what i was saying...

#135173

OK then... The one I'm using most is Xplore...I can't seem to set the others up to my taste at the mo'....I will not grumble about any of these...christ...if I could make one I would. I really don't know which one will come out tops. Interesting though...keep it up guys!

#135180

I enjoy Xplore alot because it's fully functional as far as copy and pasting and what have you. But once Felix 8 gets these functions built in there will be no contest which finder is better.

#135182

Tried all of them... I'm not going to use one on a regulat basis untill there's a final version.

#135183

like buddy christ, I tried them all.

All have great potential, however as a hardcore mac user, I always reverted back to Xplore and felt a lot better with it. I think that simplicity, visual accuracy, with minimal and correct functionality is the key to a successful aqua app.

@ all: :moon:

#135195

ok, so i'm starting to worry about the touchy ppl and this becoming a flame war. this is not my intent with this poll. i just want to know the opinion of people and if it matches mine. that's all, ok? about expressing opinions like "this rox and those sux", that's discouraged by everyone and everyone should know that. this is a poll of POSITIVE comments. not deprecative.

if this poll shall be a problem, please tell me or contact a mod and it will be taken care of :)

#135196

****ing *****

this is a poll of POSITIVE comments

What the hell do you think i have been trying to tell you all this time, this will become a flame war. :( Poor BZfinder, if its author stops developing it we'll know who to blame.

#135199

right now I personaly like Xplore because its almost fully working. Once Felix 8 is fully working my vote is towards Felix.

I really want thumbnail browsing in felix. I know the app isn't done, but until its done I'm using Xplore.

cant wait for your release alilm :lol:

#135200

;)Not fair

hmm... listen, flarex. u posted too early to see where this was going. all your post did was entice. may i suggest you something? whenever you see a thread that might lead to a flame-war, report it to a mod "this or that thread might become a flame war, please take actions" and the mod will judge if it's plausible or not and take the actions necessary. that's what mods are for. don't just post "oh this will become a flame war cause of this and that" because that actually makes the thread prone to becoming a flame-war cause it shows eventual weakness on that base and gives people ideas. furthermore, that kind of comment u just expressed just provokes more and more. i sincerely believe that if this thread becomes a flame war, that by any means it was not because of its original subject. because no one else is talking about flaming in this thread except for me and you and i'm just talking about it because i'm replying to you.

i will not address the flaming issue anymore on this thread.

if Bzfinder is discontinued, i'm sorry. if the author has a problem with this poll, please address me and i'll apologise. once again, this poll is supposed to be positive. to encourage the authors, not to discourage.

on an ontopic note, i do LOVE the Xplore icon. who was it that did it, again? congratulations! it's REALLY nice :D
