rare that I express my views here at VersionTracker, but this thing has actually raised the usefuleness of Mac OS X by several notches! It finally opens up a whole arena of possibilities in the areas where Mac OS X has been very weak: Ever since I started with Mac OS X, I have felt limited by the lack of productivity features that could be had in Mac OS 9. FruitMenu and some other utilities somewhat helped, but Big Cat provides real power to the contextual menu user interface! Finally, it is now easy to do things like: "Make new folder here in the file tree", "open a terminal at this location in the file tree", "compress this file", "convert this file from ISO8859-1 to Mac", "Check or Edit the Creator and Type codes of this file", "Move this file to the location of choice", .... and these examples were only for the Finder! This utility provides the ulitimate plug-in architecture for contextual menus, namely script files. Running a script under Big Cat is also extremely much faster than making the script into a droplet and drop files onto it, since there is no overhead of starting an application (the droplet application). I would like to encourage people to share your useful scripts. The Big Cat develper is interested to post them at his site (http://ranchero.com/bigcat/). I have a number of scripts that I intend to publish once I get some time to document and make a site for them. As for compatibility, it works fine in my installation together with a number of other utilities such as: FruitMenu, Youpi Key, PTHPasteBoard, ScriptMenu, LaunchBar, XRay, Zingg! If I may wish for enhancements, it would be a possibility to sort scripts into categories and or with separator lines. And perhaps even making the list dependable on (context sensitive to) what application that currently is the active one!
