Product Description:

Select similar items in a Finder window.

Ever wanted to quickly select all similar types of items among a bunch of others in a Finder window?
I often find myself having to select, for instance, all the jpg images among docs, movies and folders etc.
I don't want to change the view, sort by type, and then manually select all the JPEGs, that's so 90's!
Instead, try this little utility.

Put it in the Finder window's toolbar, the Dock or bind it to a Key-combination for easy access.

�¢�?�¢ A Finder window must be open and in focus.
�¢�?�¢ The similar selection is based on the kind of item not extension (image1.jpg and image2.JPG will both be selected).
�¢�?�¢ Several different kinds of items can be selected, if the initial selection is (text.txt, image.jpg, myfolder).
Then all the txt, jpg and folder items will be selected.

Knows Issues:
If a Finder window is in column view mode and only folders are selected, it doesn't work as expected.

I've been using this app at work for a couple of years now. It's come in handy when I need to clean out junk from folders. I'm hoping there will be a native Intel version coming someday–otherwise I'd proudly give it 5 stars.
