DESCRIPTION
FolderGlance is a plugin for the Finder. When it is installed, it allows you to control-click or right-click on folders to see and open their contents, as well as examine the contents of sub-folders down an unlimited number of levels. FolderGlance also has the following features:
- Adding your own custom folders to the contextual menu, enabling FolderGlance to act as a very versatile launcher
- Moving, copying and making aliases of the currently selected files in a folder you browse to
- Control-free popups: Open the contextual menu without holding down the control-key or using a two-button mouse
- In-menu preview of arbitrary files
- Opening files with an application different than the default by using an "Open with..." menu you can tailor to suit your own taste
- Changing the font size used in contextual menus
- Browsing into package contents
- Customizable sorting and customizable display of hidden files and folders
WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.5.7:
- FolderGlance now optionally includes running applications in the Open with menu.
- Adds ability to temporarily disable FolderGlance by holding down the Shift-key when the contextual menu is opened.
- Minor edits and screenshot updates to the FolderGlance manual.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.6 or later.

WERTY I like it and i was thinking to buy it, but I think it would be way better if the menu that it opens with right click was the same as default with the option to see the content of the folder on the bottom. I know that probably what i wrote doesn't make sense, i'm sorry for my bad english, i just want to know if it is possible, instead of hiding the normal menu under the "Finder" option, to still see it but with the folder content explore in the bottom.

ROBM52 Like others, I was quite disappointed that FinderPop doesn't yet work with Snow Leopard... I even uninstalled 10.6 and went back to 10.5, as I'm a contextual menu kind of guy. But with FolderGlance, I'm back in. A very nice alternative, though still looking forward to FinderPop's eventual upgrade... I'd almost gave a 5 star rating due to FolderGlance's need to have a key stoke for copying or alas creation. Prefer FinderPop's window that pops up for these options. Though, really... that's a minor, nitpicky thing. Perhaps it's just that I'm not yet used to the change? As for the $20... Heck, that's cheap for all FolderGlance does. (Still amazed that FinderPop was free!) | |

DRDUL When I upgraded to OS X 10.6, I had to abandon a few applications, but none of them were as difficult to say goodbye to as FinderPop. Turly (the developer of FinderPop) may eventually release a 10.6-compatible version, but he's recovering from a bad accident, so it could be a while. I couldn't wait, as I am completely dependent on contextual menus to open files and move them around, so I went looking for an alternative and discovered FolderGlance. What a great app! It offers all the features I need, and I prefer the way it is configured as compared with FinderPop. The developer has been extremely responsive as well, which is always nice to know when making a financial commitment to an application by purchasing a licence. Highly recommended!

I was afraid this wasn't going to show up.

DEMORAY Before Snow Leopard, I was someone who used Contextual Menus constantly. Why Apple trashed such a brilliantly simple and efficient tool is beyond me. FolderGlance 2.5 is the first and only app, (that I've found), to bring proper Contextual Menus back to Snow Leopard. I'm currently testing FolderGlance, and so far I like what I see. The menus are customizable, and they allow you to do some slick things, like move and copy files right from the contextual menu. Without purchasing a license, FolderGlance will be slightly less functional than the registered full version. For example: certain menu functions will work fine, but wont have the ability to dig infinitely deep into folder levels. Some people might have trouble paying $20 for an app that used to be free. But for me, having Contextual Menues in Snow Leopard is definitely worth the price.

KUPHD $20 for this? I'll wait for FinderPop. It's free.

LOOKIN2IT If this is your only input... well it reminds me of what mom always said, "If you don't have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut" -- except I think it should be: "If you don't have anything useful to say, keep your mouth shut"

Relegating CMM's to the "More" menu was a step backwards, and now with Snow Leopard, they're dead! I use this all the time. )8^(

TOMEM It would be a lot better if it didn't make it impossible to rename a file in the Finder. It still renders the cursor and highlighting inoperative when renaming files. I have to close the Finder window and open a new one to get it to work again, and then only briefly. Unacceptable.

SEEN. if the developer can provide the end-user with more customization's capability for menubar drop-down, that would be great! and I will give all five for the rating.
