 | David DelMonte said today at 9:22am @RDrL85 Care to elaborate how 10.6 has this functionality? |   +5 |
| jungleblizz said today at 9:20am @ RDrL85: Could you please help us out by giving a bit more information about where we could activate this feature in snow leopard? thx | +5 |
| vancouver2010 said today at 2:42am I've been using FolderGlance since waiting for FinderPop to be fully Snow Leopard compatible. I'm already a huge fan and am very impressed with its versatility. | +4 |
| Espiridion said today at 4:04am @vancouver2010, Have you tried FinderPop's beta versions? I think they're SL compatible. Turly has said that FP is "the only utility with a gestation period longer than an elephant’s!" but still he has provided many beta versions by now, with a brief interruption when he had his accident. | +3 |
| Cristo.Cristo said today at 2:25pm @jungleblizz & David DelMonte I guess that RDrL85 is mentioning a 10.6 feature of the Dock stacks where you have the chance to navigate through the whole arborescence of the folders and sub folders which belong to the stack. For ewample, put your Documents folder in the dock and give it a try. Works super fine! | +2 |
| bunky said today at 10:48am Just checked for this capability in Pathfinder. Control click on a folder and select Contents (which shows the number of items in the folder) as well as the ability to bore down into the folder and sub-folders. Do not see an option to do all the other custom stuff that FG provides... If these (custom) things ring your bell, - go for it.. Just more options to keep in mind while browsing your machine | +2 |
| ploth said today at 10:06am @stalar - YOU'RE A LEGEND! Pathfinder DOES have this built in to the context menu under "contents". I owe you one thanks heaps! | +1 |
| bobzozus said today at 2:06am I would assume this is for those people who use the Finder frequently- and, don't like the Columns view. I find that I use other programs to organize my important files (Eaglefiler- for one. Yep & Leap, sometimes)- and, can use Spotlight and the aforementioned programs to find what I want. I guess the usefulness of this program lies in how you best work. Also, I find FinderPop- as well as Snow Leopard's improved use of Contextual Menus- quite sufficient for my Contextual Menus needs. I'll save my $10. Although, Dan Frakes does make a case in the article mentioned by Outrider that this app will be useful to some. Thanks MUPromo for giving us this intriguing system enhancement. | +1 |
| ploth said today at 1:21am UPDATE: It only works in Finder so no good with Pathfinder. Pathfinder doesn't have this feature (which would be good sometimes) but has many others that I would miss way too much to go back to finder with this :( | +1 |

Dan Frakes (MacWorld) reviewed this on MacGems on 10 NOV 09 giving it 4 mice. Read the review here: http://www.macworld.com/article/143770/2009/11/folderglance.html?lsrc=nl_mwgems_h_crawl
Only issue seemed to be price. Mupromo takes that problem away.
