Unlimited potential through easy to create plugin modules.
Customizable lookup trigger to either a mouse button or key combination.

Installer ran for me, but gave me an error message saying there were errors during the install process. Seems to work OK, but it's not clear if the pref panel was updated completely.
Developer and I found a probable cause for install problem. It seems to install fine now. Hazel was moving .dmg files before they were unpacked in this case.
