The thing is that, some time ago, I turned everything off except «Add "Contents" submenu if control-clicking a folder». Risking to try your patience, how about the possibility of turning off the presence of the "FinderPop Items" folder in the contextual menu (specially if that folder is empty)? That would do it for me. Again, let me apologize for my embarrassing underuse of FP.
G-Montseny 02 Feb 2013, 21:13	«Add "Contents" submenu if control-clicking a folder» Hi, Turly I've invited you to some pints —or «canyes», or «gerres»— over the years, and very gladly so, since FinderPop has been an integral part to every Mac I've owned since FP's first incarnation. But, you know, with age (mine, I mean), I've found myself downsizing, or streamlining (or whatever one may call it) my interaction with my Mac to the point that I'm using just ONE of FP's functions, although an irreplaceable one at that: namely, the «Add "Contents" submenu if control-clicking a folder». «Well», I thought, «if I only use this function I surely will find a little program that does just that without the potential overhead of the rest of FP's functions». But, try as I might, it's been impossible for me to find such an app! So, after a couple of months, I've given up the search. And in the meantime I've gathered enough courage to ask you this: I don't know to what degree this function is intertwined with the rest of FP's code, how easy or difficut it is to isolate it, but is there any possibility that you can deliver just this single function as an independent little app? And that's all! As always, thanks in advance for your attention.

G-Montseny 22 Jul 2011, 21:44	Lion: Any click to select a file/folder pops up FP menu Hi, Turly: I've had to disable FP (2.3.9.1). When FP is active, I just can't select a file or folder in the Finder. When I click on one —with a Magic Mouse or with the MacBook (2008, aluminum) trackpad— it doesn't get selected and the FP menu always pops up. In the case of the Magic Mouse, it doesn't matter where I click, be it right, left or center, the FP menu keeps popping up... None of the Ctrl keys —main MacBook keyboard and external keyboard— is stuck. Any ideas? As always, thanks in advance for your attention. G*

Well, the thing is that the -minor- problem I reported some weeks ago keeps on reappearing: namely, that, for no apparent reason, the "Open" submenu doesn't work when I click on a Finder sidebar item (remember, though, that the items open when I select the "contents" submenu with the name of the item in question). On the other hand, and as was commented in the old forum, the problem disappears if I set "Remember the last menu items chosen" to 0 (and it works for some time if I set it later to any other value). I'm sorry, but I'm not able to reproduce it at will: It just happens... G*

Items on Finder sidebar & Open submenu
Hi, Turly!

Isn't it quite in here!

Well, the thing is that the -minor- problem I reported some weeks ago keeps on reappearing: namely, that, for no apparent reason, the "Open" submenu doesn't work when I click on a Finder sidebar item (remember, though, that the items open when I select the "contents" submenu with the name of the item in question).
