Take the Finder's place

[Sixer]

Hi,

With ForkLift maturing and showing almost every feature that the Finder has, I'd like ForkLift to be able to take the Finder's place, like PathFinder does I think.

Perhaps something like "Quit Finder on launch". Even better would be integration with the Dock and the Dock's trash can icon.

Well, this is something which we don't want to do because it can NEVER be perfect.
You would loose tons of functionality like the Desktop, Trash, Screen capturing, etc..
These services should be re-implemented in ForkLift and would never work perfectly (if at all) with other system services like Expose, Spaces, Dock and so on.
We would spend to much time writing/finding workarounds for problems emerging with every new release of OS X. You don't want that :)

That answers my question from the "Column-View"-Message. But the consequence is, to use Finder and ForkLift side by side. Is that really intendet? Until now I look at ForkLift as a really Finder-Replacement.
