Product Description:
A Better Finder Select is a contextual menu plugin for the Macintosh Finder that allows power users to filter file selections based on a range of criteria.
The simplest selection method is through partial file name matches, e.g. "select all files which end in '.gif'", or "select all files which contain the word 'web'". Unix-style wildcard matches such as "image*.gif" provide a more powerful alternative, but it is the regular expression matching, familiar to BBEdit , Grep or Perl users that provide the ultimate file selection mechanism.

"quickly select files in the Finder"

There is nothing "quickly" about this app/CM try selecting a few thousand files. You can go buy a new car, come back, go to dinner, its still selecting. A real joke.

The uninstall left a broken pref pane in the system preferences. (and an icon in my dock, but that's no biggie) Please fix this (pref pane issue) for udder users in the future.... Especially those who don't know how to go through and manually fix this stuff like I do.

I have used… - Version: 3.0, 4/11/2003 04:50AM PST
SPI...master...
the Better Finder Series (Rename,Select,Attributes,Creators) for 3+ years now. Early on, the developer was beat up for having an odd shareware payment policy...which has since corrected. I have since found these little apps indespensible, and extraordinarily stable and consistent, as well as having a pleasant, easy to understand interface. The updates to OSX have now been completed (Attributes being the latest port) and my license has been honored for all the apps. Kudos to Frank! These are great... WISHLIST...any way to combine Select with Rename? Then one could recursively grep a bunch of files and pipe that list directly to Rename without having to do it in two (or more) steps ... that would be cool...
