It's better to have good programs only on OS X.  ;D

Much agreed, besdies, coding for Windows is a nightmare!

And localization on OS X is a dream compared to most Windows apps (quite impossible for non-coders).

Filezilla is the best windows ftp client I've used. That said, Windows ftp clients are all pretty bad. There are so many panels and c:\\ tree things and weird file labels everywhere.

I have now added a new preference option to control the behavior of the Return key. Hope you like it! :)

Superb!  Can't wait to try it, as I still often hit Return to open or edit.  Thought this idea may have got lost in all these off-topic posts!

Thanks again.

I'll be sending around another beta build shortly, which will include this capability :)

Works wonderfully, I certainly got 'action'.  I am in keyboard heaven!  Good idea to retain Enter with the default rename function.

Good design all round. Congratulations.

Can I suggest other users try setting "Return key action" to "Edit selection / Enter single folder" in the preferences, and see how much easier it is to navigate and open files -- once you get used to the idea, that is. I suppose it won't be for everyone but worth a try.

Excellent - I'm glad you like it :)

I have to admit, once I implemented this and played around with it for a while, I did find that it's quite pleasant to use and almost, dare I say it,  'natural'
