FastScripts 2.6 is now available, featuring 64-bit compatibility so it can “run with the big dogs” on modern Macs. I also fixed a few pesky bugs, and this marks the debut of FastScripts in the Mac App Store.

• 64-bit compatibility for optimal performance on modern Macs
• Add support for FKeys F17-F19, available on many modern Mac keyboards.
• Fix a bug where deleted folders remain visible in menu
• Fix an issue with case-change-only name changes causing duplicate menu items

One of my most favorite Mac apps has received an update. If you’ve not looked at FastScripts in the past, I recommend you do. There’s so much power in this one little app it’s not even funny. You can even try it for free for up to 10 keyboard shortcuts — but I totally recommend laying out the $15 for it.

Path Finder is a file browser that has a streamlined, beautiful new interface, lots of new features, and tons of improvements and fixes throughout. It has been completely rewritten and optimized for Mac OS X 10.5 and represents over a year and half of hard work.

I began using Path Finder myself a little over 3 weeks ago, and already find it to be one of the most indispensable applications I own. And that’s coming from a hard-core Finder wonk. With a plethora of cool features–both obvious and hidden–this app won me over quick, which is not an easy thing to do when it comes to shareware.

If you haven’t looked at Path Finder recently, I recommend you do–just to see what you might be missing.
