I only occasionally need to use terminal to get to a couple remote servers and manually cd-ing to everything is tedious and error-prone. This is a great tool that makes the task much easier. Thank you.

This tool does exactly what it says. Lets you open a terminal window directly from finder.
Works a treat. for loading are a bit vague. Just drag the app directly into the finder toolbar.

Thank you for sharing this idea! - Version: 2.0.2, 12/5/2006 02:04AM PST

I have added your instructions to the OpenTerminal readme file. I've slightly modified them to work with OpenTerminal, so that "cdf" can use OpenTerminals functionality (support for Unicode file names, cd to the desktop if no windows are open, cd to the trash folder, etc.)
An especially cool thing with your command is that it works with every terminal application including xterm.

For anyone interested, I accomplish the same thing with a simple addition to my ~/.bashrc file:
####################################################################
# implement cdf command #
# (changes the working dir to the front-most window of the Finder) #
####################################################################
cdf()
{
eval cd "`osascript -e 'tell app "Finder" to return the quoted form of the POSIX path of (target of window 1 as alias)' 2>/dev/null`"
}
With this added to your .bashrc file, you can open a terminal window and type "cdf" to change the working directory to the front-most Finder window.
Enjoy.

When I try and use this, I just get an AppleScript error and nothing else happens.
The error says "System Events got an error: Can't make path of every login item into type reference. (-1700)"

I just put Terminal under my tools folder in the application "Overflow" Much faster than anything else.

OpenTerminal is one of my all-time favourite programs. I can't even say how often I use it each day. Just installed v2.0 and no problems whatsoever. Fixed the problem where it would get confused if the Get Info window was open and also seems to be a lot snappier than 1.3.1. Great stuff!

If you have downloaded OpenTerminal 1.5.1 instead of 2.0, please download the software again.
