Therefore, I googled a bit and developed my own Apple Script for displaying two Finder windows side by side. However, I do think it’s a bit expensive for being a really simple tool, it costs $18. There is a third option, less expensive but simpler it’s called Total Finder and its main feature is that it enables tab browsing within the original Finder, like in any modern web browser and the “dual mode” as well. Furthermore, Path Finder and ForkLift are both expensive if you’re only buying for the dual mode. In addition there are many apps that have the “reveal in Finder” option, so most of the times one ends up using the Finder, instead of launching another app. These tool are OK, but honestly most of the times one just needs another Finder, not having to launch a new application. There are several commercial applications like Path Finder or ForkLift that let you do this dual pane display mode and lots of other things. The fact that when a new Finder opens it always overlaps the existing Finder and one has to resize it, move it accordingly, etc., is quite annoying. However, I think we all need side by side Finder windows when copying and moving files around. Many people would agree that the Finder is a decent, powerful, yet simplistic Folder navigation app.
