PopupFolder should come with a big red warning. DO NOT GO NEAR IT if you have any intention of ever working with any later system (i.e. 8.0 onwards). A couple of hours' use and you will never be able to go back to believing that the MacOS Finder is a good piece of interface design. For those who don't know it, what PopupFolder principally does, among many other features (some of them, like the Click, There It Is! functionality, undocumented) is to give you instant hierarchical pop-up menus off every volume or folder icon anywhere in the interface: in windows, on the desktop, in open & save dialogues (which it also enlarges to a sensible size), in the Apple menu (obviously), and in a number of entirely new places for good measure. Once you get used to navigating your disks in this way, that's it. You'll do ANYTHING to avoid having to upgrade to those dumb, clunky later systems in which PopupFolder no longer works and you have to try and muddle along with springloaded folders (gah), disk aliases in the Apple menu, Now Menus, or at best BeHierarchic with the CMM plugin - none of which comes remotely close to the ease, elegance, and bleeding obviousness of PopupFolder's functionality, which in any sensible directory-navigation system would be built-in. You will spend your life trying to live within 7.6.1, and choosing your hardware upgrades accordingly, just so that you can continue to use the one truly, fatally indispensable Finder add-on ever devised. Don't go there, people. Trust one who's been there, and can't get out. Nick. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
