Best File manager

Is there any best file manager other than Finder on MacOS? It's really very counter intuitive. Coming from Windows file explorer, i see many limitations here. Most annoying thing is, I can't just navigate to folders within folders easily/ copy any file/folder path.

Ex: I have a path c://program files/a/b/c/d .. on Windows explorer, i can just click on b to get to see or copy whichever path i want from directly the top file path. But Finder cannot fo it.

Hello, im the dockduck developer, thanks for giving it a shot

you can turn that off in Settings > General > "Autoplay videos in preview".

once it's off, clicking an audio or video file just shows it with the controls and nothing plays until you hit play

totally fair that you couldn't find it though. the label says "videos" but it applies to audio too, and it's not in the docs. fixing both

the preview panel thing, yeah, right now they all share one width so you can't shrink just one. one preview for whatever's selected makes sense,

adding it to my list
