FinderPop is a Universal preference pane that extends OS X's contextual menus using a FinderPop Items folder much as the Apple Menu Items folder used to do for the Apple menu.
It has other features too:
Please use the FinderPop Help button in the preference pane; there are many features in FP that are not immediately obvious. I'm working on it :-) The FAQ in the Help is also worth a read. Most UI elements have fairly comprehensive help tags, so just hover the mouse over something if you're not sure. The manual is also available online. Also note the FinderPop Support Forum.

- A comprehensive collection of vaguely beer-related aphorisms in the Aboutbox.

In the Polish interface makes a mess / confusion. Finder menu commands are in Polish and English versions simultaneously.

Like many others, I have become totally dependent on FinderPop, and will be at a complete loss when I upgrade to Snow Leopard next month. I would welcome any suggestions for apps that offer some of the functionality and ease of use of FinderPop, that I could make do with until FinderPop is upgraded for OS X 10.6.

More information please on why
you decided to go the unsane route ?
Most of us try and stay away of going Ape.
FinderPop is COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT of the APE installer. FinderPop does not install APE. The APE control panel is completely unaware of FinderPop's existence, and vice-versa.
What happens is that FinderPop now uses the same code as APE to "patch" the system calls which allow FinderPop to do its stuff. This APE patching code is tiny, less than 0.1% of FinderPop code, has not changed since 2003, and has not caused a crash since then. Unsanity supply a small object file containing this patching code. Because it's better than the patching code I was using previously, I use it. It is more flexible, uses less memory, and (obviously) is compatible with other Unsanity products, should the user happen to be using any. This was not the case previously - if the user was running FinderPop and a haxie that happened to "patch" the same things simultaneously, it often resulted in a crash. No longer.
If there's a FinderPop-related crash, the bug will be in MY code, not the 150-odd lines of "APE" code that actually does the patching.
I think all the bad press that APE gets is not APE's fault per se, but bugs in various haxies (possibly including Unsanity's own, it has to be said.)
Please let me know if that doesn't explain things or if you have information which contradicts any of the above, which is my understanding.
Thanks, and
Have Fun!

I very nearly posted this new beta, but then I noticed the advisory that you did not want this new beta posted to the usual sites such as MacUpdate.
I'll be expecting to get the latest version, when it is ready, submitted to MacUpdate before any other site. Thanks.

There is only one annoying thing I know:
This alert each time I restart my computer
(Tiger, PPC). It is security alert which seems to
come from Liitle Snitch. But, the thing is I don't
have Little Snitch! I removed it from my computer.
The alert recommends to go to Little Snitch
Preference pane to get rid from it. But, there is no
such a pane, of course.
Anybody, any help?

If you only trashed you know the solution.
