by , 1:00 PM EST, February 26th, 2003

PUBLICSPACE.NET has released a new version of A Better Finder Select, bringing it to version 3.0. A Better Finder Select is a contextual menu plug-in for the Mac Finder which allows users the ability to filter file selections. The latest version ships with improved search features. According to PUBLICSPACE.NET:

PUBLICSPACE.NET is pleased to announce version 3.0 of its "A Better Finder Select" Macintosh Finder enhancement.

A Better Finder Select is a contextual menu plugin for the Macintosh Finder that allows power users to filter file selections based on a range of criteria.

This is the first version of the popular Finder file filtering utility for Mac OS X. The product has been rewritten from scratch to take full advantage of Mac OS X's powerful Cocoa programming interface.

This first version already includes wildcard and regular expression file name matching, invocation via Finder contextual menu or drag & drop, persistent settings, etc.

Many powerful search features:

  • use UNIX-style wild cards to select files, eg. *.doc, image*.gif, etc
  • use Grep or Perl-style regular expressions ( details )
  • select all files that contain a particular character string
  • select all files that begin with a particular character string
  • select all files that end in a particular character string
  • and more...

You can find more information about the latest A Better Finder Select release at the PUBLICSPACE.NET Web site. A Better Finder Select 3.0 is available for US$9.95.
