best file manager for OS X?
stevejohnson: I think Path Finder is probably the only usable alternative, but some of your supposed "missing features" aren't actually missing. Please correct me if I misread you...> Proper collapsible/expandable tree view
View -> as List: Check it out, tree view.> Ability to see and create symlinks
Finder has this. Symlinks look like their originals but with a little arrow overlay. Drag and hold Command+Option to create a symlink.> See file access, create, modify times
Again, Finder already has this (mostly). While in list view, go to View -> Show View Options and check Date Modified and Date Created.> General single window operation - I shouldn't ever need to open another window to move or copy files
You don't need to. Command+C and Command+V work just fine with files.
