FolderBrander for Mac

Used FolderBrander for Mac?

Developer’s Description

By Yellow Mug Software

Customize folder icons with ease.

OS X lets you add folders to the Finder's sidebar, or the right side of the Dock. This excellent feature provides quick access to frequently used folders. This is great except ... all folders look the same. FolderBrander lets you easily change the look of your folders - pick a different color and add a short text label. Found some nice folder icons on the web? Add them to FolderBrander's custom icon set (just drop them in there), and setting folder icon becomes easier than ever.

It's good.

Pros
This is dependable software - always works and fills a need! Been using updated versions as they appear, for years. The app is up to Snow Leopard now!
Cons
Can't think of any - more colors and styles would be nice, but that costs money.
Summary
Recommended.

Pros
Simple interface.
Cons
No evidence that it works. Some evidence that it hurts.
Summary
Scenario: torrent downloading in 20kbs to 26 kbs range. Exit utorrent. Launch turbo booster. Start utorrent from within utorrent. Same torrent downloads at between 9 kbs and 12 kbs. Quit both apps and reload utorrent. Back to 20+kbs. Ran this test several times over the course of three days, similar results each time.
Great for hierarchical files.

I love this program! I use the dock extensively for various projects and areas of work. FolderBrander allows me to label these dock folders so I can quickly identify them and drill down however many levels.
Cons
None!! i love it.
Summary
I can't imagine using a Mac without FolderBrander. Particularly well suited for people who use hierarchical files and who like organization. TRY IT!!!!!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Using FB to add text to a folder-icon is perfect for doing just that to any plain folders you have in your "dock." No more hovering the mouse/cursor just to see the name. This helps when dragging an item from the Finder. You can now drag directly into the folder whose name you now see (provided the Dock is not in hide & seek mode). If you do have the Dock in H&S mode, simply drag back & forth along the screen-edge, then, move the cursor over the (now) named folder-icon and release.
Excellent Product!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />For almost as long as I've been a Mac-er (years adn years and years ...) I've wished for an easy simple way to customize and alter the appearance of folders. FolderBrander comes so close to realizing that wish that it's as good as granted. Why "so close" then? Well, you've got to leave a little room to change and grow, as happy customers like me learn to take FB for granted and life returns to normal. Top marks all round.
Excellent Product
