Finder Contextual Plugin Utility Updated
Frank Reif Software has announced an update to A Better Finder Select to version 1.7. A Better Finder Select is a contextual menu plug-in designed to help make selecting files easier. The new version includes several feature enhancements. According to Frank Reif Software:

"A Better Finder Select" is a contextual menu plug-in for the Macintosh Finder, which allows users to quickly select all files matching a given criterum. The utility supports selection based on the name, type and creator of a file. Linux type wildcard based selection is also supported.

"A Better Finder Select" is a simple, yet surprisingly powerful utility which is fully integrated into the Macintosh Finder. This release features a major revision of the user experience of the tool. The use of accelerator keys for most functions dramatically speeds up the selection process. The new release now also uses the creator and type databases of ABF Creators & Types.

This new version contains many improvements and new features:

  • selection based on file type
  • selection based on file creator
  • redesigned user interface
  • minor bug fixes
