I'm not a Finder power user, but when I use it I always run into the same problem: I can't ever open Finder and make my way to a specific directory (e.g. ~). I work around it by opening a terminal and navigating there and doing `open .`. Is there something I'm missing? TL;DR: How can I open Finder and go to any specific directory I want?
Type ⌘⇧G or select Go -> Go to Folder... for a field into which to enter a path.

(yes it is a clone of norton commander for linux, which is also a clone of pctools 4.3 for DOS and yes I use these since as long as I have been coding and it is CLI based with productivity shortcuts)

I'm sorry :( 1) I didn't expect to be sold out 2) I want to provide paying users with an awesome experience but need to be able to focus my resources to do that. I promise more licenses will be made available soon.
The speed and efficiency of Norton Commander[1] was amazing Happy that people bring it into our century [1]: http://www.abandonwaredos.com/public/aban_img_screens/norton...
If you are still using Windows then Far Manager [1] is an amazing Norton Commander-like open source file manager with lots of available plug-ins. I miss it in Linux, although Midnight Commander is not bad too (which I'm using now in Linux). [1] https://farmanager.com/

i totally understand your side. but you have to understand that the popup[0] that appears when i open fman without a license is really obnoxious. specially when i can't buy a license. [0] http://i.imgur.com/m5uTyBe.png

It'll be interesting to see how that plays out. Btw why are the Linux and Mac versions both 21mb but the Windows version is only 1mb? Magic? I'm gonna assume magic. Also: it doesn't seem to use Electron! Cool! But wait, it uses Python + Qt instead?
When there's doubt about feature requests, I side with conservative choices because I hate bloated software. The Windows version is an online installer that always fetches the latest version from the update server. It's based on Google Omaha, the same technology that also Chrome uses for auto-updating. I wrote a blog post about this [1]. It uses PyQt instead of Electron. I was very tempted to use Electron, but its st…
Looking forward to you fixing that so I can actually use it :)

It's a good question - I already explained this here in a comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13777696
You really haven't answered it, though. It's very nonsensical. If you want to see "who's in" and develop for your paying customers, then should you not let people become paying customers so you can develop for them? Your logic seems to work if you were not allowing trials, but only paying... THEN you would have only paying customers... its your gig, but I think its been a while since i've seen something this strange…
