Re: FinderPop like utility for OS X
Response to Bruce: Fruitmenu WILL do what Finderpop did. Think someone referred to it as 'Drilling' folders. At any rate, configure the 'fruitmenu' pane of the Fruitmenu System Preference panel to permit 'click and hold mouse to access contextual menu in finder' to whatever delay suits you. Then access the contextual menu pane of the Fruitmenu pref panel to include whatever you need in the contextual menu - mounted volume, selected folder are good choices. Remove 'dance for me, wash my clothes, fix dinner'. Add whatever you like. I added Moveitems X because it allowed transport of files to the drilled folder, in the manner of Popup Folder, which was orphaned and stopped functioning after an OS 8.x update. At any rate both Popup Folder and Finder pop were very elegant and easy to use. Can see why fruitmenu doesn't appear to be a replacement, as it does do a lot more and requires some persistence to configure. I also have folders that pop out of the apple menu, for instance. Response to Laurent: (with great humbleness and respect to the listnanny) Think that Finderpop's developer drifted away from the mac - or he wasn't a full time developer. At any rate Finderpop was distributed as a variation of shareware 'pintware', where satisfied users were encouraged to send the author beer/stout money. This might explain his lack of progress F. on 01/03/05 14:59, Bruce Johnson at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Feb 28, 2005, at 9:00 PM, Frank Cornew wrote: Fruitmenu coupled with moveitems X has made for a satisfactory substitute for Finderpop (which substituted for popup folder) It appears from reading the Fruitmenu site that it does everything EXCEPT the ONE thing I need it to do (and the ONE thing I used FinderPop for)...pop up the contextual menu when I hold down the mouse button.

Turly quit working on FinderPop because he and Apple had a parting of the ways (in many senses) when OS X came out. http://www.finderpop.com (I don't think the sordid details are still there, though) I know what it's got to do, conceptually: on button-down-and-hold: if the pointer has not moved in settings time then tell contextual menu manager to get busy; The problem, of course is that it involves patching the mouse drivers, and that a wee bit deep into the guts for me, but it's a simple thing: Look Mom No Hands http://www.toolsandtoys.com/ did it in 90K as an classic OS extension. The ONLY thing LMNH does is pop up the contextual menu after you've held down the mouse button without moving for the time defined by the double-click setting. I paid for that, I'd pay for one in OS X. It doesn't need all the other whiz-bang doodads these other apps need. But if there would be some demand, that might be something I could wrote.

Re: FinderPop like utility for OS X
Under OS X there used to be a utility called FinderPop, which among a number of other things, set the contextual menu to pop up when you held the mouse button down qithout moving it for a time. FinderPop was never updated for OS X; does anyone know of anything that does this for OS X? I use Sidetrack on my laptop. In addition to its primary purpose of turning the edges of your trackpad into scroll areas it also allows you to assign functions to the trackpad's four corners. I use the four corners for expose, control-click and hide all.

Re: FinderPop like utility for OS X
The new trackpads are USB, the old ones were ADB. The two-finger scrolling can actually be enabled on older powerbooks and iBooks, basically any PowerBook G4 and any white iBook or above can do it, with this http://www-users.kawo2.rwth-aachen.de/~razzfazz/ I have this working, it's really cool... You can also rightclick by putting two fingers on the pad, hitting the button and then releasing both.
