I had tried PF3 a while back and hadn't loved it, but this new version is GREAT! The interface is cleaner and it's much more simplified.
I have a few suggestions for the developer:

BUG? Why when I hold down CMD-DownArrow in Icon view does the selection scroll down and then start back up at the top again? Personally, I think it should be consistent with the List and Column views and stop the selection at the bottom
The ability to add and customize a keyboard shortcut for the "Filter" toolbar item.
The ability to disable PF's menu in the menu bar (the icons next to the OS's spotlight icon...)
The ability to use keyboard shortcuts such as CMD-1 through CMD-9 to access tabs (Like TextMate does, or Safari for it's bookmarks)
A way to disable the applications menu (I use quicksilver)

If I think of anything else I'll tell you. Lastly if any of these things already exist, thanks! :D I need to play with PF more!

Try going to Path Finder --> Preferences --> Browser & uncheck Arrow keys loop around when reaching end

Thanks for the quick reply!
All of your suggestions worked except the first one "Try going to Path Finder --> Preferences --> Browser & uncheck Arrow keys loop around when reaching end "
When I first looked at that preference, it was unchecked. I even tried toggling it and restarting PathFinder, but it still won't work.
