Product Description:

When you are working in the Finder and you discover that you need a terminal window you have to open "Terminal" and "cd" to the folder you were working on. With OpenTerminal you just click its icon or use the Finder's contextual menu and a terminal with the correct path shows up.

The advantage of OpenTerminal over other available tools is that it can run in the background (without using processor time) and react instantly because it doesn't have to start up first. It's also much more refined than the other tools I know of: it includes workarounds for several Finder and Terminal bugs and it doesn't open superfluous terminal windows.

The sourcecode is also available.

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.
