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.
