Product Description:

This Contextual Menu "nudges" the Finder to update the information it displays about a file or folder. Use it on any item (or groups of items) if you suspect the Finder hasn't updated its view. This should work for most attribute changes, icon changes, size changes, files that have been saved but don't appear, and so forth. Unfortunately, some attribute changes are NOT properly recognized. This includes the "invisible" and "package" attributes. For changes to those attributes, you must quit and restart the Finder. Alternatively, you can also update the access and modification timestamps, like Unix's "touch" command.

What's new in this version:

Now has separate "Nudge" and "Touch" menu items.

Operating System Requirements:

Version 1.2 now doesn't "touch" when I want it to just "nudge."

BTW, the download link here still points to version 1.1. It should be <http://www.brockerhoff.net/nudge/Nudge12.dmg>

I've used version 1.01, probably since it appeared on the scene. I give it 5 stars. Version 1.1, at least for me, is one GIANT leap backward now with its changing the file modification date. The "file modification date" should be, and should always be, the date that *** I *** modify/save the CONTENTS of the file.

Nudge's "description" says it all: "CM nudges Finder to update file/folder info display." UPDATE, not change it.

I can recommend 1.01, but, I'm going to stay away from 1.1. I STILL find the occaisional need for it.

I use Nudge just about every day. - Version: 1.1, 8/25/2006 04:19PM PST

I work with application & file icon files a lot. After updating an icon resource, all I have to do is use nudge to make the application or file show its new icon. I use nudge at least a few times per day.
