FinderPop go boom.
Before I commit to making the jump over to OS X, I’ve been on this sporadic quest to locate those little software nuggets that will afford me the same level of utility and convenience as I’m used to under OS 9. One of those nuggets is FinderPop. As contextual menu enhancements go, it’s usefulness teeters somewhere between downright indispensable and “why the hell don’t you have FinderPop installed on this machine?” Today I discovered that Turly O’Connor has pulled down the old FinderPop site, save for a download link to the final version of the software. That’s it. Gone. Done. At one point I recall him admitting that he probably wouldn’t ever release an OS X version of FinderPop because of current projects and commitments, so I never got my hopes up. But damn … now he’s saying that he isn’t even working on Macs anymore. That hurts just a wee bit. Nevertheless, I did find an OS X contextual menu plug-in called Ittec that does pretty much everything that I ever expected FinderPop to do, and more. Hey Turly, thanks for everything. And good luck on whatever it is you’re doing now. As for a FinderPop replacement, I think I’m covered.
