Online FinderPop Support Forum available

FinderPop Support Forum: available feeds

Users always appreciate support from developers. There are many ways to get it –being email the most common, but in some cases not the more useful. So, some developers also offer Support Forums –as it is the case with FinderPop. In my opinion, support forums are invaluable.

To FinderPop users: my advice would be to register and/or subscribe and, then, read the posts with your favorite news feed reader.

FinderPop Puts the Power Back in OS X’s Finder (via Compiler – Wired Blogs)

FinderPop Puts the Power Back in OS X’s Finder (via Compiler – Wired Blogs)

Apple’s file browser application, Finder, lacks many of the power user features you’ll find in Windows Explorer or Linux’s Dolphin and Nautilus options. If you’re a switcher, or just want to get more out of your Finder, have a look at FinderPop.
FinderPop is a free system utility that adds a bunch of contextual menu options to the Finder application. The menus are designed to make it much easier to accomplish everyday tasks like navigating through, copying, moving, and aliasing files.
There’s even an option to customize the items that appear in the FinderPop menu. All you need to do is open up the FinderPop Library folder and add aliases to your favorite or frequently used applications and files.
Much of FinderPop’s functionality isn’t limited to just the Finder. I set up FinderPop so that right-clicking on any dead space in any app will bring up the menu. That allows me to directly access and open files without ever leaving the application I’m in — sweet.
FinderPop is a free download, though the author has a PayPal tip jar set up if you’re feeling generous.

BTW, the Compiler’s Blog Has Been Nominated for a Webby Award.

FinderPop (News via Turly)

Turly said: MacWorld reviews FinderPop!

Dan Frakes over at MacWorld reviews FinderPop – a very kind review too, 4.5 stars. Nice to be appreciated!

As I said to someone earlier, his review shows the difference between a ‘real’ writer and a butcher like me – he has distilled what FinderPop is mostly about into a page, whereas my manual blathers on for page after drivellish page :-/

You can download the latest version of FinderPop here (2.1.2, Universal, MacOS 10.4+).

You deserve it, Turly! ;)

New FinderPop (Only) Blog

Turly has set up a new FinderPop (only) Blog. There you can find some interesting links -among other things.

Turly here – I already have my own WordPress blog where I sometimes blog about FinderPop – but I will try to keep this up to date too.

Actualización de FinderPop (v.2.1.2)

Turly ha publicado recientemente una nueva actualización de FinderPop. En concreto, la versión 2.1.2. Es comptible con Tiger y Leopard. No dudes en probarla. Cambiará tu ‘experiencia de usuario’ y mejorará la forma en la que usas el ‘interfaz gráfico’ del OS X.

FP for Classic

FinderPop, the best ‘cdev’ ever.
