Hi Turly!
My first contact with you since the old days of OS9!
(if I recall well, I suggested you to use labels, then, like in PopupFolder, and I was ecstatic when you implemented it in the following release 
)I think I've found a bug when putting files or aliases referring to files with certain extensions into FP's elements, be it .rtfd or .scriv or .bean (and probably some other exotic ones): they appear as folders. (test done in OS 10.8.3 with FP 2.5.1)
Thanks for keeping FP alive!

Long time no hear!
Hmm, I'll need to have a look at that. They probably really are directories or bundles but I thought I was asking the OS for the icon anyway, perhaps I missed a few cases...

Yes, they are bundles: .scriv are Scrivener documents and, guess what... .bean are Bean documents.

Actually .bean is identical to .rtfd format, just the name changes for the sake of being opened by Bean.
I don't know how FP detects file types but I suppose it's quite safe to consider a folder with "dot something" as a bundle, so it covers any other app case.

OK, it's almost certainly something simple like that. I'll have a look when I get back to Barcelona next week.

When you said "they appear as folders", I thought you meant that the icon displayed by FP was a generic folder icon.
Presumably you are instead talking about the fact that there is a submenu hanging off the FinderPop menu item for Foo.rtfd?

I can fix that relatively easily for the next release. You will still be able to see the submenu by pressing SHIFT if "FinderPop PrefPane -> Options -> Press Shift to get submenus on Bundles/Packages" is turned on.

This should be fixed in 2.5.5 (q.v.)

Hi!
Sorry for not answering, I'm just seeing your answers today — had no notification, despite checking "Notify me when a reply is posted"...
Bad news on my side: after trying 2.5.5, FP just stopped working at all! (I've followed the instructions — prefs quit, restart)
I've repaired permissions then tried all former betas, trashed FP's prefs and in the end not even 2.5.1 (that was previously working) doesn't work anymore!
I'm on OS 10.8.5.
Anyway your guess was right about Foo.rtfd, that's what I meant.

Phew! I've finally resolved the issue by dragging the prefpane to the prefpane folder manually instead of double-clicking on it! (probably a permission issue of some kind…
)Well, 2.5.5 works as expected, thanks a lot!
