Create secure disk images with SecureFiles

SecureFiles is a nifty free program that will aid you in making secure, password protected (AES 128 bit) disk images.
It will let you create a disk image of just about any size. You can preset default sizes very easily, so if you are always making secure images, you don’t have to fiddle around that much.

You can also allow Spotlight to index the secure disk image to aid with searches. It’ll even compress the image if there is unused space.
Of course, this duplicates a similar feature in Apple’s Disk Utility program, but SecureFiles‘ interface is more intuitive.
Donationware.
Find your path with Path Finder

Find the FInder lacking? Want more power when managing your desktop files? Well, then, Cocoatech’s Path Finder is for you. You can use Path Finder as a file management program or even as a total replacement to Apple’s Finder. The program is incredibly customizable; there are so many things that Path Finder can do, I cannot list them all here. There’s a demo that you can try and if you like it, buy it for $40. It’s an awesome program, one I recommend if you need a better desktop file workflow.
Here are just a few of my favorite features:
Open Finder windows in tabs, just like web browsers -

Reveals your current path in the Finder -

So, if you’re looking for just a bit more power from the Finder, go get Path Finder and wander the path to find Finder power.
