  Pros

  If you have a short menu I am sure you will find benefit from this.

  Cons

  well, alot of them! Not as user friendly as others will have you believe, Openmenu takes a dictatorial role in the output of your menu and have final say as to whether you have inputted YOUR menu that way that THEY want, there is always a waiting period to wait for their dictatorship to APPROVE your menu.

  Summary

  If you have a short menu without a lot of options Openmenu will probably be good for you. If you have a more substantive menu with lots of variations, sizes and options, expect to take many hours to set your menu and all required restaurant data up. Also, expect to do, undo and redo parts of your menu over and over again until you find the right solution to make a section or menu item and it's options input and display correctly. And, after spending those many hours and fighting to get your menu to display in they way you want or need it to, expect that it will be kicked back after you 'submit it for review' because someone decided that you didn't put a menu item where they DEMAND you put it. If you like spend many hours entering your data, just to sit and wait for 'approval' of your own business information, just to be told be someone else that YOU are wrong and you either have to sacrifice your menu items or have it display incorrectly, by someone else, then, by all means go for it. I think I will be looking for another solution for my future clients and I certainly wouldn't recommend paying for Openmenu until you have gone through their set up crap and have deemed it worthy of your money.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Having upgraded to SL and then back again to 10.5 only due to lack of support for Fruitmenu I am a long standing user of this great programme (by the way, its developer unsanity display a legendary lack of service, response or updates). BUT the comments and rating by sherab108 is unfair to OpenMenu. It is more than adequate replacement and work around to Fruitmenu (especially if you use running applications and recent items options in Open Menu). Yes it needs a bit of getting used to, but provides several additional functionality and a small footprint. Lets keep a balance for those who visit Version Tracker to make their minds up about the Mac software. Highly recommended.

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />FileUtilsCM is freeware with many of the same features for the contextual menu, but without the access options (only available in the contextual menu) or the configuration options available in OpenMenu X. The help hasn't been completed for this version in English, but it appears it will be coming. Soon, I hope, since my free trial ends soon. Well-polished, professional interface. Relatively intuitive.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I highly recommend OpenMenu X. This is the best launcher and file redirector for OS X. This allows to freely customize contextual menu with user friendly intrerface. Installing and uninstalling are very smart and simple too.

• FinderPop Replacement

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've finally found my FinderPop replacement. I have tried ALL the others. This is the best launcher and file redirector for OS X. This is the ONLY one that can send folders/subfolders of files to various apps. My typical uses: -Launch Applications -Send a folder full of files to iView Media or to Toast to burn a CD -Open an Illustrator file in Illustrator 8 or 10, Photoshop, iView, email, FlightCheck, toast, dropstuff. It's also the easiest to use. It may be missing some features of other programs most notably the ability to move a file into a folder. But what it does it does well. Try it.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />The in-built tools this CM offers are really excellent (Applescripts)- and all-round it's well worth $10. Compiled scripts are also on offer with freeware CM's
