- In-menu Hover Previews of arbitrary files
- Custom context-sensitive scripts that can act on the selection or folders you browse to
- 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 in FolderGlance
Version 3.0.6:
- FolderGlance now comes as a standard Mac OS X installer package. The default install location has been changed to work properly with Mavericks, Yosemite and El Capitan. Using FolderGlance on El Capitan requires that System Integrity Protection is disabled.
- Graphics are finally good to go on retina display-equipped Macs, and have gotten a minor makeover.
- FolderGlance no longer relies on login items for launching its helper apps, but instead uses launchd to handle this task.
- FolderGlance is now installed in such a way that it is available for all users of the computer.

Here on 10.11.6 FolderGlance inverts label colors: if I select green, it becomes orange and so on... When I uninstall it all comes back to normal.
1. To disable SIP, restart into Recovery Mode by holding Cmd+R at startup. Go to Utilities > Terminal in the menu. In Terminal, type "csrutil disable" (without the quotes) and press Enter. Restart normally.
2. Move the FolderGlance.osax file from your ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions folder to the /System/Library/ScriptingAdditions folder (creating the folder if it doesn't exist). Make sure there are no other copies of FolderGlance.osax on your Mac (check /Library/ScriptingAdditions, too).
3. Open Terminal, enter "sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/FolderGlance.osax" (without the quotes) and press Enter. Provide your admin password when prompted.
4. Re-enable SIP by restarting into Recovery Mode as in 1. above, but instead type "csrutil enable" (without the quotes) in Terminal, and then restart normally.

Also, what if I haven't installed FolderGlance before and want to install it now, running El Capitan? Can I install the FolderGlance.osax file by simply moving the resource file from the installer-package to the correct location ("/System/Library/ScriptingAdditions" instead of "~/Library/ScriptingAdditions")?
Thanks,
Dan
Here's what happened: if I assigned a "red" tag via the context menu, it would actually assign the color purple; choose purple, it would assign orange etc.
When I used the Action button in the Finder to assign color tags, everything worked as expected (i.e., red -> red etc). After disabling FolderGlance, everything worked as expected again as well; so it must be a bug in FolderGlance.
Using Dropzone for now to quickly whisk files to specified favorite folders (granted, not as convenient, but as is, FolderGlance is messing with my tagging and I can't use it).
