Product Description:

FinderPop is a Preference pane that extends OS X's contextual menus using a FinderPop Items folder much as the Apple Menu Items folder used to do for the Apple menu. It has other features too:
  • Control-free popup in the Finder - handy for those with one-button mice.
  • a launcher that takes up zero screen real estate, merely a click on any blank area of menubar away,
  • a handy filesystem browser, allowing quick and easy access to files and disks in the Finder,
  • a Processes menu (Command-click a blank menubar area.) fast access to 'Where's that dratted file I had on the Desktop?' (Shift-Click a blank menubar area.)
  • a comprehensive collection of vaguely beer-related aphorisms in the Aboutbox.

What's new in this version:

  • fixes a problem with certain Cocoa applications.
  • new patching mechanism using Unsanity's APELite
  • now with Swedish, Japanese, French and (partial) Danish. Yum!

Sadly this excellent app doesn't work with Snow Leopard. Hopefully the FinderPop gods are had at work to fix it!!! Have used their product forever.

This is one of the best Utility programs you can do. If you screen is full and you want to go into a program that is two, three or more files embedded this is the program. It is the old OS 9 pull down menu. Its is better than what Apple did in that old OS because you click anywhere the menu bar is blank and the customized menus show up. Apple should pay the developer for this one and acquire it, because when my screen is full and the file or program I want is under the open files and programs, I don't have to close stuff on the screen. Always is an issue at some point. No wonder this is a "real" 5 star.

Tip: Having been a veteran mac user, with the Old OS 9, I would make an alias of the finderMenu, In this case, FinderPop Items alias, and put that alias in itself. What this does is allow you to open the pull down FinderPop menu and put your aliases in the file, by selecting the FinderPop Items alias without searching for the FinderPop Items file in the "Library" folder. Once the FinderPop Items file is open you can then move around the aliases as well as reorder them for your own customization, or remove them, or add to them, etc. My brother originally shared this with me for the old OS. Every mac should use this program. A must have.

I use a MacBook Pro Intel core 2 Duo running 10.4.11 (I always like to tell this in the review, just so people can know there is no issue or potential issue with my kind of hardware)

Again, I use on average more than ten times a day. Thanks, Thanks Thanks developer. Yeah, it's free, not some trial passed off as freeware. Trial software should be categorized as shareware because you have to end up paying to continue on the honor system with shareware, yet with trial ware you are forced to pay, unlike shareware. It is more restrictive than shareware so how can those other guys call it freeware? That's my soap box. What I sometimes do if I find out it is trialware (shareware which forces you to purchase or it is disabled) passed off as freeware is I give it one star. This is real freeware.

Sometime a bit complicate to organise, the only thing I would enhance is just the simplicity to use it in all his power for my mom also!
