FolderGlance For Mac

FolderGlance is a Finder plug-in designed to help you browse the content of a folder by using the contextual Finder menu. You have the option to integrate specific folders in the menu, or extend the app capabilities by using custom scripts.

The FolderGlance plug-in comes with an installer application that is able to handle both the deployment and the removal processed. For the plug-in to actually become active you must relaunch the Finder and the installer can perform this action for you when the installation process is over.

At the same time, the software package also includes a collection of sample scripts that can be integrated with the application in order to help you streamline repetitive tasks, such as viewing the disk usage, or seeing the file and folder count. Moreover, you can read the Scripting Guide and start developing your own scripts.

By default, FolderGlance places a small menu item into your status bar designed to provide quick access to the Preferences window or to the search bar, and to display the available volumes. Preserving the menu is optional, but you might want to keep it to have quick access to the search tool.

On the other hand, via the FolderGlance Preferences, you get to adjust the sorting mode and order for the folder content in the contextual menu, to adjust the pop-up delay, and to make decisions regarding the type of files you get to see in the menu. The same area allows you to create your own list of custom folders.

FolderGlance integrates effortlessly into your Mac OS X Finder app in order to help you browse the content of your folders in a more streamlined manner: you can view the contained files an folders in the contextual menu, sorted by different criteria.

FolderGlance has the potential of reducing the time you spend performing repetitive tasks, especially if you develop custom scripts that match your own workflow.
