would like finder menu choice open terminal from here

[ryaker]

There was a Microsoft PowerToy called "Open Command Window Here"

Open Command Window Here

This PowerToy adds an "Open Command Window Here" context menu option on file system folders, giving you a quick way to open a command window (cmd.exe) pointing at the selected folder.

I would love this functionality in OSX to open a termina already cd to the directory my finder window is pointing at.

Anyone know how to do this.

Um, I believe you can sorta do this backwards.

Open your terminal. Type cd (command 'cd' and a space after it). Drag a finder icon into terminal. You will get full path. Press 'return'.

It's cool! I was just trying it to make sure it worked the way I thought it did.

** EDIT: Oops! I guess I didn't need to tell a shell user to type "command cd w/space after it") D'OH! I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, Ryaker!

Check out OpenTerminal. Sounds like it's just what you're looking for.

My favorite, plus the same as the Command Prompt Here Power Toy, is the Terminal Here context menu item: http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=16214&db=mac . Works great.

consider Path Finder instead of Finder.

you get a menu command to open a cd terminal window and way more.
