    JEFF H.  Just not having good luck with this at all.

    Don't want to "review" this because I may be missing something and I don't want to trash it, yet, but when I invoke the contextual menu from the finder, and go to launch something, it ALWAYS launches the wrong app, ALWAYS.

    AND, I want the contextual menus from the finder, I don't want to have to scroll down to "more".

    Big waste of time as far as I can see... I bought this thing to save me time...not a work-around for me...a real time waster.

    WHERES FRUITMENU?!?!!!

    please Unsanity! UPDATE FOR LEOPARD!!!

    ****.

    TEL  This is indeed the best OS-X version of Finderpop I've come across - it's great and I'll gladly plonk out my $10.

    For all of you saying that other apps do the same thing easier or cheaper - THEY DON'T. XMenu is fundamentally different in concept (being tied to the , FruitMenu causes conflicts all over the place with other software, and neither Launch Item nor Quick Access have the ability to work as a Contextual menu droplet for applescripts.

    GNAW  Reply to Kelly,

    The Contextual Menu Workshop, does all what you say and it free!

    I use QuickAccessCM to launch Apps and goto foders, very good.

    But of course I'll try this one.

    KELLY  I've finally found my FinderPop replacement. I have tried ALL the others. This is the best launcher and file redirector for OS X.

    This is the ONLY one that can send folders/subfolders of files to various apps. My typical uses:

    -Launch Applications

    -Send a folder full of files to iView Media or to Toast to burn a CD

    -Open an Illustrator file in Illustrator 8 or 10, Photoshop, iView, email, FlightCheck, toast, dropstuff.

    It's also the easiest to use.

    It may be missing some features of other programs most notably the ability to move a file into a folder. But what it does it does well.

    Try it.

    ANONYMOUS  Lots of contextual menu modules provide identical functions. For the same price I recommand FruitMenu or Launch Item. Both of them offer even more features.
