BinaryNights has announced the release of ForkLift 1.6, an update to their file management and transfer utility for the Mac. ForkLift takes the best of Finder: the simplicity of the interface coupled with granite functionality. This includes the Sidebar, Favorites, QuickLook, etc, but adding the ability to connect to FTP/SFTP/WebDAV servers, manage Amazon S3 and iDisk accounts, batch rename, archives and more.

This new release is introducing a user interface that is opening a new chapter in versatility and workflow perfection in file management. The most spectacular change is the option to switch between Single Pane and Dual Pane modes, complemented with a new Tabs management policy and a generally increased modularization and versatility of the UI. The 1.6 upgrade also includes extended and improved keyboard controls, including keyboard based item selection and navigation across volumes, and an improved adaptation of the Finder and Commander default keybinding sets.

Version 1.6 also brings a series of important fixes, most importantly, a fix for the tenacious Move bug from 1.5.x versions, with the Move command now working across different volumes.
