Batch rename is better than ever, and so it setting permissions. A capable, mean machine meant to plow through your FTP, SFTP, SMB, AFP, or Amazon S3 server. So with features galore and a dual workspace layout, we have Forklift. Imagine uploading photos - pushing them through ImageOptim with automator scripts, then uploading the optim’d files online. You can instantly sync a folder to a preset destination, plus you can combine your sync-i-ness with Automator scripts. Drop it on your desktop, sidebar, toolbar, wherever. Synclets are like drop anywhere buttons to freedom. Time saved!īut the biggest new feature that’s really fantastic is Synclets. rar file from a server right into my downloads folder. The Unarchiver features are really sweet, as I can unpackage a. Just like with the newest Transmit (BinaryNights must hate me for this comparison), there’s tons of new features. Okay, so that’s just two features (simple features as a matter of fact), and there’s a lot more. If you want to remove items from the stack without deleting the original items, then you can right click, and empty the stack. Though I imagine it might get confusing if you have items from two different locations in the stack. The best part is that you can create more than one stack to work with, meaning you can have virtual folders for lots of different things. It’s an interesting concept, and I can see it being incredibly useful to those working with lots of servers. So if I move something from the stack to a server, the item will be moved from My Documents to that location. Basically, you aren’t creating an alias, but rather a sort of hard-link (is that the right term?). But if I delete something in the Stack, it doesn’t just remove that item from the Stack, it removes it from My Documents as well. That item will show up in both My Documents and the Stack. Stacks are interesting, because they’re virtual containers that are designed to be what BinaryNights calls “holdalls.” So let’s say I drag an item from My Documents into a Stack. One feature I didn’t use too much (mostly because I actually didn’t have a use for it yet) was Stacks. It’s not over-the-top, but it’s your traditional UI that’s been updated for the new version. Forklift brings it back home to your Mac by continuing it’s look from Forklift 1, which is still very appealing and Finder-like. We won’t talk about it anymore (you can catch Federico’s review here), but I have to start out the review with a visual comparison. Transmit really went balls out when it came to both usability and visual effects. So does that hold true? And how do Forklift’s features compare to Transmit’s? And ultimately, will this little workhorse outdo the truck that has captured the Mac world? Hold on to your trucker caps people - this is going to be fun. BinaryNights promises that no matter how strong the competition, they’ll always have the fastest speeds. Forklift, currently in it’s first public beta as version 2.0, makes a strong statement. For it is the forklift that loads and unloads the truck’s contents. Depicted by a storage truck, Transmit promises to deliver your data.īut when a truck backs into the warehouse, its work is done. First we have Transmit 4, an incredibly sexy can-do-it-all FTP client by Panic which in everyone’s eyes, is the current pinnacle of perfection. Simple concept right? With our warehouse metaphor intact, we have two products in the Mac world that want your undivided attention. It’s where you temporarily store product for later use.
