What are FinderPoplets?
These are dinky little code resources which FinderPop can execute. They’re meant for tasks for which a contextual menu plugin or even a tiny application would be overkill.
This first FinderPoplet, “SwitchToFinder/HideOthers”, does exactly what its name implies. Drop an alias to this into your FinderPop Items Folder and you’re in biz — select it from a FinderPop menu and you’ll find yourself staring at a blank, uncluttered screen. Unless your Finder layer is cluttered, of course.
I eventually plan on allowing arbitrary placement of these items (i.e., make it so that “SwitchToFinder/HideOthers” would only appear in the Process menu. Additionally, it might be nice to allow ’em to have icons (FinderPop currently displays a hardcoded naff little cube ’cos I couldn’t draw a droplet.)
If anyone else has any weird or wonderful ideas for such small utilities, either
email me or write one yourself. API and source to “SwitchToFinder/HideOthers” enclosed.
