A Better Finder Launcher2.2.1

Took forever to "index" my computer's applications. Similar apps did this in a couple of seconds and were done. I hate to image how slow the rest of this app was. I didn't wait for it to finish indexing.

can someone explain to me how this is any different than using spotlight? if you're going to name this app "A Better Finder..." something, it should at least be better than the finder's own method of doing it. clearly, this isn't.

Check out "Namely." Simpler, cleaner, works perfectly, freeware.

Why reinvent the wheel? This has been done at least three times by extremely full-featured apps, two of which are free. I just don't see the point when you've got the likes of Quicksilver, Butler and Launchbar to compete with.

I say Butler kicks both Launchbar's and Quicksilver's asses. Butler rules. I'm addicted.

Nothing beats Launchbar????? NO!!!!! QUICKSILVER BEATS LAUNCHBAR hands down!!!

i definitely prefer launchbar, but for a 1.0 release and a fourth of the cost, this app has its merits. at the least, it is visually interesting and features will likely be expanded in the future. one annoyance is the frequency of the shareware reminder which doesn't allow one to get a usability feel for any length of time.

If you prefer "Command-Space", you can change the hot key combination in the "System Preferences..." pane. Version 1.0b6 only takes a few seconds for indexing. I very much appreciate feedback so please feel free to contact me with suggestions at reiff@publicspace.net.

Nothing beats LaunchBar.... I tried it, just to see. Three Button combo just didn't compare to cmd-space.
