Useful! I had my own AppleScript for this, but the toolbar icon is actually easier to use.

When it comes to Quicksilver tip suggested by ytrewq1, it has one important flaw. You have to have a directory selected in Finder for it to work. I prefer a solution that works also when a file inside the directory is selected.

@factoryjoe re: iTerm. The README for cd to says:

To use with iTerm or X11/xterm, using the finder get info on ">cd to ..." from it's installed location and under the section labeled "plugins" enable the proper plugin (while disabling the others). Next time you run ">cd to ..." it should with the correct application.

@ bitnix: well that one is true. I must admit, that i only tried this one to verify your statement (i used to use "Open Terminal"). The very first time it DID open a second window. Later (even after quitting Terminal.app) it didn't do that anymore. (???)
Anyway: nice app but for now I'll stay with the quicksilver shortcut.

@factoryjoe: when using quicksilver and having the iTerm-plugin installed you cn actually do that . . .

@ ytrewq1 & aol

I believe there is one major advantage that this application has, over the method that you pointed out, about using a Quicksilver trigger; namely, this app doesn't open up TWO Terminal windows (that is, if you're using Terminal, at least).

That quirk has always been very annoying to me and this is the first time I see someone providing a means of doing it, without the pesky "bug" occuring.

This seems like a really cool app and I appreciate that the source was provided but it'd be even better if it worked with iTerm... I looked at the source but, not being a developer, didn't know how to hack in that functionality. Any help?

@ ytrewq1: well you don't need to have quicksilver and you don't have to know how to make triggers ;-)
thx for the tip. one more thing that gets kicked out of my toolbar . . .

I haven't used this app, but I do something similar via a Quicksilver trigger for "Finder Selection" "Go To Directory in Terminal". Any comments as to what sort of advantages there might be to using this app as compared to using an appropriate Quicksilver trigger?

Excellent.

I've switched to this from the slow Open Terminal here context menu. I prefer this over the similar Open Terminal because of looks, but it's a close call with regards to functionality.

Absolutely brilliant!

Nice -- runs faster than equivalent AppleScript.
